Declan waited outside Seraphina's school. But this time... Octavia wasn't there.

His entire focus was at the entrance. Seraphina finally stepped out among the other children, her backpack bouncing lightly against her shoulders. She paused just outside the gate, scanning the area. She was sharp and careful.

Declan watched carefully. The sight of Seraphina outside the gate without Octavia in sight, made him feel uneasy. Why was she alone? What if something happens...

Before he could think further,

    “Stay down!” Declan shouted, “Get low and don’t move!”Octavia pulled Seraphina tightly against her chest, covering the little girl’s head with her arms. Her heart hammered violently. “Seraphina, baby, stay still. Mommy’s got you. Don’t look up. Just breathe, okay?”Seraphina started crying, her small body shaking. “Mommy, what’s happening? Why are they shooting? I’m scared!”Another shot cracked through the air, this one much closer. The bullet slammed into the side of the car they were hiding behind with a loud metallic ping. Glass from a nearby window shattered and rained down around them.Declan pressed his body over both of them, shielding them as best he could. “They’re targeting us,” he said through gritted teeth. “That last shot was aimed right at where we were standing. This isn’t random. Someone wants us dead.”Octavia’s eyes blazed with a mix of terror and fury. She held Seraphina even tighter. “Who the hell would do this? Declan… we have to get out of here right now!”More

    Octavia closed the door behind him, leaning her back against it as she let out a long, trembling breath. Her heart was still racing. No, she cannot let her guard around Declan, not even for one bit. What happened was a mistake and she'll make sure it never happens again.On getting home, Declan dropped his keys on the counter and poured himself a glass of whiskey. He sat on the couch in the dark, staring at the city lights through the floor-to-ceiling windows. His mind replayed the moment again and again — how close they had been, the warmth of her breath against his lips. He could still feel her lips even if it had only been for a split second.If only she didn't push him away. But at least it meant something. Maybe, just maybe, he still has a chance.He took out his phone and died his secretary's number."Hello, Sir?" "What's the update on the investigation?" "We are yet to find out who the woman is, Sir. The footage from the school didn't show her face and we've tried matching he

    By 7pm, Declan arrived at Octavia’s apartment with three bags full. He knocked on the door, his heart beating fast. Octavia opened the door. She looked relaxed in a simple sweater and leggings. “Come in,” Declan stepped inside and smiled when he saw Seraphina running toward him. “Daddy!” Seraphina shouted happily. “You came!”Declan set the bags down and caught her in a big hug, lifting her off the ground. “Of course I came, princess. I brought lots of good things for our movie night.”Seraphina peeked into the bags with wide eyes. “Popcorn! And chocolate! Mommy, look what Daddy brought!”Octavia watched them from the kitchen and forced a small smile. "But no sugar overload tonight" Declan chuckled. “I brought some strawberries and grapes so we have healthy options too and a new set of pajamas for you, princess”"Really?! Can I see them?" Seraphina bounced on her feet in excitement.Declan took it out and the little girl beamed so brightly "Oh my God. Mommy, they're so pretty! Can I

    Octavia was shocked to the bones because she clearly cannot remember talking to Seraphina any time today. So who was that woman and who did she call?"I only went with her because you told me to, Mommy. And she was nice. She bought me ice cream and said we could wait for you here. I thought it was okay.”Octavia glanced at Declan and Rowan who were equally shocked. She let out a breath “Listen to my Baby, never go with anyone unless Mommy, Daddy Rowan, Mr. Rothschild and your nanny. Even if they know my name and calls me on the phone, okay?”“Okay” Seraphina said in a small voice. “I'm sorry, Mommy.”Declan rubbed Seraphina’s back gently. “We’re not mad at you, princess. We were just very scared because we love you so much. Next time, you call one of us right away, okay?”Seraphina nodded and leaned into him. “Okay. I promise.”Rowan crouched down. “You did good telling the truth. But from now on, no going anywhere with strangers. Deal?”“Deal,” Seraphina whispered.They drove back to

    Weeks passed, and Declan has been consistent with his visitations. He showed up on time, brought a lot of gifts, and tried his best not to push Octavia too hard. Seraphina was slowly warming up to him, and even Octavia seemed a little less cold during their short exchanges. For the first time in a long time, Declan felt a spark of hope.That afternoon, he arrived at Seraphina’s school ten minutes early, as usual. He parked his car near the gate and waited with a small smile on his face. Today he planned to take her for ice cream after pickup. But as the children streamed out, he still didn’t see her familiar silver-streaked curls.Declan checked his watch. Ten minutes passed. His smile faded. He got out of the car and walked closer to the gate, scanning every face. No Seraphina.Panic began rising in his chest. He pushed through the school entrance and went straight to the front office.“Where is my daughter? Seraphina Lancaster. I’m here to pick her up. She’s not outside.”The secreta

    Octavia walked into the hospital with heavy steps, her mind still replaying the events of the previous night. When she woke up and saw herself in bed she was surprised how she got to her room and how the house was so quiet. When she saw Declan sleeping on the couch, she didn't need to be told he was the one that carried her to her room. Everything had left her feeling confused and annoyed. She pushed those thoughts away as she changed. Work always came first. She had patients who needed her sharp focus.The morning passed in a blur. Octavia moved from one patient to another, checking charts, giving orders, and answering questions from residents. By the time eight hours had gone by, her body felt drained. Her eyes were heavy and her shoulders ached from standing too long.“I need a quick rest,” she muttered to herself.She headed to the doctors’ on-call room, lay down on one of the narrow beds, and closed her eyes.A gentle knock on the door woke her up sometime later. She sat up slow

    Seraphina was shocked. Why was this strange man hugging her? She didn't hug back but she didn't pull back either. Declan was snapped back to reality and he immediately pulled out of the hug. "I'm so sorry. I... shouldn't have... ""Can I ask you a question?"Declan blinked slightly. "Yes.""Promi

    Octavia finally reached home from work at around 8:30 p.m., exhausted.The hospital had been relentless. Emergency cases, endless rounds, strained relatives, crying children... it had all blurred together into one long, suffocating stretch of responsibility. Normally, she could handle it. She always

    Declan went still and Seraphina took his silence as confirmation of guilt."I knew it," she said, nodding to herself. "You did something bad. That is why you can't even face Mommy"Declan let out a slow breath. "Yeah... I did."For the first time... she didn't immediately fire another question. She

    Octavia closed her eyes briefly, inhaling slowly. Of course, she had forgotten who Declan was. Persistent, stubborn, and infuriating.Her fingers tightened slightly around the pen in her hand before she set it down and let out a sigh."Put it in the trash," she said."But...""Now."The nurse didn'
