Beneath the Façade Chapter 83
BENEATH THE FACADEBehind the façade of wealth and power, a web of secrets awaits.Chapter 83Emily’s POV: The morning sunlight spilled into the room like warm honey, golden and soft, touching every corner of the living room where Josh lay on the rug, surrounded by building blocks and his quiet little giggles. It was the kind of morning that tried to convince you the world wasn’t broken, that nothing had been stolen, that innocence hadn’t been bruised. But even the brightest day couldn’t sweep away the shadows completely. I stood by the kitchen counter, a mug of tea cooling in my hands, watching him.Josh.Our miracle, our heartbreak, our fight.It was a new day—the kind where the past still ached, but something in the air whispered about healing. Nyla moved around the house with an energy I hadn’t seen in days. She folded Josh’s clothes, packed his snacks, and cleaned up after breakfast like she was trying to outrun the fear that had gripped her for the last week. I didn’t blame her
Beneath the Façade Chapter 82
BENEATH THE FACADEBehind the façade of wealth and power, a web of secrets awaits.CHAPTER 82Emily’s POV: The gate creaked open.My fingers gripped the steering wheel harder than they needed to, my palms damp, knuckles pale. We were finally home, and yet my heart hadn’t stopped pounding since we left the safe house. Every bump on the road had felt like it might shatter this fragile moment, like something might still go wrong before we reached the front door.But now we were here.I saw her instantly—Nyla. She was pacing just outside the porch, her body tense like a spring wound too tight. The second our car rolled in, her head snapped toward us. Her eyes were wide, frantic, like she couldn’t believe we were real. Her lips parted, and for a second, she just… froze.Josh was fast asleep in Eddy’s arms, nestled into his chest like a soft bundle. His arms were tucked loosely around Eddy’s neck, his curly hair flattened on one side. Completely unaware of the storm waiting outside for him

BENEATH THE FACADEBehind the façade of wealth and power, a web of secrets awaits.Chapter 81Emily's POV:The plan had to be perfect. Not just close, not almost right. Perfect.We couldn’t afford another mistake. Not with Josh’s life on the line. Not with the kind of man we were dealing with.It was almost 6 p.m. when Eddy and I sat on the opposite sides of the dining table, a large brown envelope between us. Inside it was a printed out transaction slip, a tracking chip, and a tiny pen-shaped camera that Eddy had gotten from one of his trusted contacts."This isn’t just bait," Eddy said, tapping the envelope. "It’s proof. Once he shows up and takes this money, he’s in deeper than he realizes."I swallowed the lump rising in my throat. The fact that we were talking about trapping my father like some kind of criminal made me feel sick. But what else could I do? He’d crossed a line that couldn’t be erased. He had taken a child. An innocent child. My godson.And no amount of blood connec

BENEATH THE FACADEBehind the façade of wealth and power, a web of secrets awaits.Chapter 80Emily’s POV:After the emotional storm, the house was wrapped in an unfamiliar silence. Not the heavy, tense kind that clung to the air like fog, but the calm after a hurricane. The type of quiet that left space for healing—and for clarity.We sat around the kitchen table again, the same table that had carried the weight of our confessions, breakdowns, and truths. Nyla sat beside me, her eyes tired but softer now, her hands wrapped around a steaming mug of coffee she hadn’t touched. Eddy stood by the window, arms crossed, staring out like he could will answers from the clouds.None of us spoke for a while. There was nothing new to say about the past. We had all bled enough over it. What mattered now was what we were going to do next.Finally, I broke the silence. “We need to find Josh.”Nyla turned to me slowly, her lips pressed tight. “Yes,” she said. That one word carried all the desperatio
Beneath the Façade Chapter 79
BENEATH THE FACADEBehind the façade of wealth and power, a web of secrets awaits.Chapter 79Emily’s POV: The silence that followed Nyla’s confession sat heavily in the room. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t move. I just stared at her, watching the way her hands twisted in her lap, her eyes downcast, her body still trembling from the weight of her own words.I blinked slowly, trying to process it all. So much made sense now. That gala night. The one Nyla and I had attended together to represent my father. The same night she came back to the hotel room in a haze, claiming she remembered nothing, laughing it off as one of those "crazy wild nights." I never knew the man she had spent that night with had been Eddy. And worse, she had known. All this time.I turned to look at Eddy, his face pale, expression unreadable. But then my eyes fell on something I hadn’t noticed in a while—the scar that ran faintly along the side of his temple, just above his right cheek. My stomach twisted. That sca
Beneath the Façade Chapter 78
BENEATH THE FACADE Behind the façade of wealth and power, a web of secrets awaits. Chapter 78 Nyla’s POV It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. Not the crashing mug. Not the silence that followed. Not the way our pasts decided to collide without warning, right in Emily’s kitchen. I hadn’t meant to walk in on them. I was only coming downstairs to grab some tea, just trying to calm my nerves, when I heard voices. Emily’s voice I could recognize anywhere. The other, low and familiar, made my stomach clench. My steps slowed, my breath caught, and when I turned the corner and saw him… The mug slipped from my hand and shattered on the floor. I stood frozen, my eyes locked on Eddy like I’d just seen a ghost. I barely heard Emily say my name. My heart was thumping too loudly, drowning everything else out. Eddy turned to face me slowly, and for a moment, I saw it—the recognition, the guilt, the pain—all flashing in his eyes. I felt everything at once: shock, confusion, anger… shame.
