Back then, it was Sienna and Teresa who had saved Caitlin and brought her to a safe place to give birth. When the last baby was born, they had told her that one of them didn’t make it.

It was Teresa who had taken the stillborn child away to "handle" the situation.

But why was it that Ximena just so happened to "find" the baby?

If the child had truly been stillborn, they would have likely disposed of the body somewhere remote, somewhere no one could just stumble upon it.

Yet, Ximena somehow ended up with the baby?

The whole thing never quite added up.

Caitlin had suspected Sienna and Teresa, but the sisters were loyal to Shadow Moon Pavilion. She had investigated them thoroughly and found no signs of betrayal or collusion with Ximena.

Still—something wasn’t right.

Ximena smirked at Caitlin’s suspicion.

"It was my subordinate. He happened to pass by, found the child, and brought her to me. I believe I’ve told you this before."

Caitlin’s eyes narrowed.

"And where is this ‘subordinate’ no

    "It’s also possible that they didn’t have time to retreat. Once the royal decree was issued, the military advanced on Graystone immediately. Zorro would have no choice but to fight back," Sebastian analyzed, trying to understand the unfolding events."And now," he added, "the only way to get accurate intel from Graystone is through Zeke. Xero can monitor the situation from the outside, but he can’t infiltrate the core.""I already tried messaging Zeke," Caitlin said, holding up her backup phone. "No response. I’m starting to worry—what if something’s already happened to him?""Give it a little more time," Sebastian said gently. "There’s a war going on over there. He’s probably overwhelmed.""But if our plan ended up triggering internal conflict in S Country, it’s the innocent people who will suffer the most," Caitlin said, her heart heavy. "This c

    Caitlin walked out of the gallery and got into the car, instructing Xavi to drive. They first dropped Federico off at his hotel before heading to TIG. She still had to finish the final design piece for the competition.While Caitlin was buried in her work, unaware, major shifts were unfolding in S Country.At Graystone Castle, upon learning in advance that the royal family was planning a crackdown, Zorro immediately began making arrangements to safeguard his retreat. Shadow Moon Pavilion’s forces were quickly dispersed and relocated in full to the US.After overseeing the transition, Zeke went to Zorro. “Father, everything is in place. You should come with us now.”Zorro looked at Zeke, his sharp eyes locking onto his son without a word.Zeke was confused. “Father, the royal command to surround Graystone has already been issued. If you don’t leave no

    “The simplest way—put out a missing person notice.”Caitlin voiced her idea clearly. “As long as he’s alive and still free to move around, there’s always a chance he’ll see it. If I advertise globally, he might come across it somewhere.”Federico nodded thoughtfully. “That could work, but worldwide advertising might bankrupt you. I think we should be strategic—target platforms with the highest global user bases. It'll be much more effective than casting a net in the ocean.“And if you really want to find him, I can help post a search video. With my international following, it’ll get more attention.”Federico’s plan was even more thorough than she had expected. Caitlin looked at him gratefully. “Alright, then I’m counting on you for this. Thank you, Federico.”He grinned. “No need to thank an old friend. Just feed me a good meal and we’re even.”Caitlin laughed. “Fine, you’re invited over for dinner tonight.”“Perfect,” he beamed, happy as a kid who’d just scored candy. “Let’s head bac

    When Caitlin realized what she was seeing, she was stunned.She stared at the woman in the painting, scrutinizing every detail of her expression and posture—especially her face.Her hand flew to her mouth in disbelief, an overwhelming wave of emotion crashing over her.“Federico! Are you sure this painting is by your friend Ashfall?”“I’m sure! Though, when I first met him, he wasn’t very well-known,” Federico replied, curious about her reaction. “Why? What’s wrong?”Caitlin blinked, her eyes reddening. “This woman... she looks like...”The lump in her throat made it hard to finish the sentence. Her chest tightened as if stuffed with cotton, achy and suffocating.Federico glanced between Caitlin and the painting, then guessed, “Honestly, I think she kind of looks like you. There’s a real resemblance.”“No... not me... she looks like my mother...”“Your mother?”Federico turned back to the canvas, looking more closely. “Could it really be her? Why would your mother be behind barbed wir

    The little guy looked up at the dashing piano prince. He knew this Federico used to have a thing for his mommy. If Federico spent all his time teaching him piano, wouldn’t that keep him too busy to chase after her?Thinking this through, Howard nodded. “I’d love to, Mommy.”The adults burst into laughter at his serious tone. Caitlin smiled. “Alright then, from today on, you’ll officially start lessons with Federico.”“Come here, let me get a good look at my little protégé!”Federico pulled Howard over, giving his cheeks a squeeze and ruffling his hair affectionately.He turned to Caitlin with a grin. “You can rest assured—I'll make sure he becomes an incredible pianist someday.”“Federico, I don’t have such lofty goals,” Caitlin replied with a gentle smile. “I just want things to happen naturally. He’s still a kid. Being happy is what matters most.”“Of course. I completely understand.”They walked out of the Carriage House together, continuing the conversation.“Now that you’ve taken

    “Yes! She said her daughter is yours. Isn’t she just trying to deceive me on purpose? I think this is something you’ll have to investigate yourself in the US.”As Zeke spoke, he subtly watched Zorro’s expression.Zorro went from initial shock to thoughtful silence, a hint of complexity in his eyes.He knew Ximena’s daughter was named Zora. Could it be that she wasn’t Dean’s child… but his?If that girl was truly his, that meant Zorro had a biological daughter out there in the world.The idea stirred a strange and unexpected feeling in his heart—something like excitement. But it didn’t last long.A subordinate came rushing in with an urgent report.“My lord, urgent news from our informant in the royal court!”“What is it?”The man glanced at Zeke, uncertain if he should speak in front of him.Zorro, no longer wary of his son, ordered, “Speak freely!”“The King has learned of your supposed plot to rebel. He’s furious and plans to strip you of your title and lands, as well as seize your
