She hadn’t spoken for hours.

Not a word.

Not a sound.

Just silence.

She sat there motionless, her back against the headboard, her eyes fixed on something only she could see. She wasn’t crying anymore. She wasn’t doing anything at all. It was as though her mind had drifted somewhere far beyond his reach.

Lucas stood near the doorway, watching her in helpless silence.

After a while, he walked toward her and gently took her hand the one Mona had crushed beneath her heel. The bruising had deepene

    "Where’s Amal?" Lucas asked, his voice sounding thin in the sterile quiet of the ward. He was already looking toward Bassinet Number 4, his eyes searching for the tiny, dark-haired "blob" that had become his only anchor to sanity.The bassinet was empty. The sheets were gone. He frowned. "Oh, he and his mother were discharged this morning," the nurse replied, looking up from her charts with a warm smile.Lucas’s lips parted, but no sound came out. His eyes widened, then narrowed, a sudden, hollow ache opening in his chest."Thanks to your donations, they could finally afford to go home," she explained calmly. "He’ll still need to come back for regular treatments, but he’s strong enough to be in his own bed now."Lucas forced a stiff, jagged smile. "That’s... that’s good news."He stood there for a long moment, staring at the empty space. What was he to do now? The baby had become an important part of his routine. A very important person to him. The head nurse watched him, her heart

    “I’m thinking of liquidating everything. The empire. The company, the shares... all of it,” Lucas muttered.Alex blinked, the sandwich nearly falling from his hand.“Boss!” he cried out, eyes wide with alarm. He reached out and grabbed Lucas’s hand, a wave of genuine panic washing over him.“Is this... is this like a dying wish? Are you okay? Please don't give up on life yet.”Lucas scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, looking away from Alex’s intense gaze.“You said it yourself—there are people who need it more. And you were right,” he muttered. “I think I finally know what I want to do.”“And that is?”“I’m going to squander my money and Don Antonio’s on actually profitable things. The man is old; he’ll be dead soon anyway. What does he need all those billions for?” Lucas let out a small, quiet smile.“I want to leave that world. Maybe travel

    “I once imagined it,” Lucas admitted quietly to the evening sky.The confession was thin, nearly swallowed by the wind.After the storms had passed and the world had settled, he had allowed himself to dream of a quiet life. Of having a family. Of having children with her. He admitted it now to the empty air, the weight of the secret finally leaving his heart.He had pictured a daughter who looked like her. Had her dark hair, bright eyes, and that same stubborn, defiant little smile.The thought brought a small, fragile curve to his lips before reality came crashing back in, cold and unforgiving. He looked away, blinking rapidly at the sheer ridiculousness of it all.“Guess I wasn’t worthy,” he chuckled bitterly.“What do you think about school?” Lucas asked suddenly.Alex paused, his sandwich halfway to his mouth. “For?”“Me,” Lucas replied.Alex nearly choked. He coughed v

    “At least let’s check the lands,” Alex said in exasperation, rubbing his tired eyes.Grief had no reasoning. “If she survived, she’ll be out there somewhere,” Alex continued gently, lying through his teeth. He didn’t believe she was still alive, not in the slightest. But watching his boss slowly destroy himself was far worse and at least off shores would be safer. For weeks now, they had traveled from place to place with only Alex as Lucas’s sole companion. The man had refused to return to the city without him, staying by his side through every dead end, every sleepless night, and every moment of unraveling.The two men sat quietly at a small outdoor café in a small town. “I’ll get more milk,” Alex said, standing up to walk to the counter.Lucas nodded absently, staring into his untouched coffee.Then, without warning, Lucas shot to his feet. His chair clattered backward. His eyes locked onto a passing car with desperate, wild intensity.“Arabella?”Before Alex could move, Lucas bo

    “LEAVE!” Lucas roared.Slowly, the room emptied until only the two of them remained. Don Antonio stood tall, even with death staring him in the face.“You kill me now,” Antonio whispered, a smirk returning to his lips, “and there is no link left.”Lucas’s grip tightened on the gun. “I’ll find her.”“You will,” Antonio said softly. “But by then, it will be too late.” He paused, savoring the moment, before sighing as though bored. “As a matter of fact, none of this matters anymore. There’s no need to drag this out. It’s already over, Lucas. Your pet is dead. She died months ago.”The words landed like a hammer. Lucas froze.Antonio chuckled, thoroughly amused. “I guess it’s better you know now, rather than waste your life on a wild goose chase.”Lucas burst out laughing, the sound jagged and unhinged. “You expect me to believe that?!”“Believe what you want, Lucas. It’s not my problem.”“I do not believe you,” Lucas growled, his voice dropping to a dangerous rumble.Antonio shrugged an

    “Arabella,” Lucas rasped, glancing down at her limp body sprawled across his chest, her head resting against him as he sped through the darkened highway. The dashboard lights flickered against her pale skin, her breathing shallow, uneven.“Hold on, please, doll,” he begged, his voice breaking as h

    Lucas was running out of time.Every move he made now felt like tightening the noose around his own neck. His mansion in the city had become porous. Too many eyes, too many mouths loyal to someone else. Don Antonio’s men were everywhere He needed to get Arabella out.Far away from the city.Back

    Arabella “I found..…” I began, my voice shook a bit as I held the note between my fingers.“I’ve been waiting for your call,” came the calm, almost expectant reply on the other end.He was? My grip tightened around the phone. "You slipped this into my clothes that day. Why?" I asked him. “I thou
