Victor quickly started the engine and drove off before anyone could notice him.

His grip tightened on the steering wheel, disappointment settling heavily in his chest. For a brief moment, he had truly believed she was Elara.

But the child.

The man.

That peaceful family scene.

It all seemed to confirm what she had claimed — she was Zara Williams, not the broken woman he once knew.

He drove aimlessly until he found a quiet place to park. Turning off the engine, he leaned back in his seat and let

    “That’s where he lives now,” Elara said quietly, looking down at the sleeping Daniel in the back seat.Julian glanced at her. “Really? Is he actually that determined?”“Yes, he is,” she muttered. “And he’s seriously getting on my nerves.”Julian gave a small chuckle. “What are you planning to do? Tell the landlord to evict him?”“I was thinking about it,” she admitted. “Maybe I can make a complaint”“Elara,” Julian interrupted gently, “that’s nearly impossible. If he paid for the house legally, there’s nothing you can do. And if you push this too far, he could sue. That could turn into a custody battle.”Elara stiffened.Julian glanced at Daniel through the rearview mirror. “I wouldn’t want this little champ to go through all that.”Elara’s expression softened as she brushed Daniel’s hair back lovingly.Julian continued, “As long as he doesn’t harass you or force his way into your house, we ignore him. Just like we did outside the company. No reactions. No drama.”Elara sighed. “You’r

    10“Neighbor?” Elara’s voice cracked like a whip.Her eyes slid past Victor’s shoulder to the luxury villa directly across the street a mansion that had stood empty for months. Now, a moving truck occupied the driveway, workers carrying in furniture.Victor nodded smoothly, holding out a box of donuts as if this were a friendly morning visit. “I moved in last night. I thought it was time for a change of scenery.”Elara didn’t take the box.A cold shiver crept down her spine. This wasn't a coincidence. He wasn’t just investigating her anymore he was laying siege.“Get out,” she hissed.Victor didn’t move.“I have every legal right to live on a public street, Zara,” he replied calmly. “And as a neighbor, I couldn’t help but notice you almost missed the school bus this morning. You look tired.”Her fingers tightened around the edge of the door. Before she could slam it shut, Victor placed his hand firmly on the frame, stopping it.His expression softened but his eyes didn’t.“You can’t k

    When Victor finally left, the tension in the room slowly dissolved.Julian turned to Elara, his expression softening. “I hope I wasn’t too violent back there,” he said politely, searching her face. “I’m sorry if I overreacted.”Elara shook her head gently. “No, Julian. It’s okay. I understand where you’re coming from.” Her eyes hardened slightly. “He doesn’t deserve anything.”Her tone was cold. Final.Julian studied her carefully. “Are you okay?” he asked, his voice calm but concerned.“Yes… of course,” she replied.But she didn’t look okay.There was something unsettled in her eyes a storm she was trying desperately to suppress.Victor knowing that the child was his…That changed everything.Julian noticed the tension she was trying to hide. After a brief pause, he spoke lightly, attempting to ease the heaviness.“I’ll come back during lunch. I’m taking you out.”Elara blinked, surprised by the warmth in his voice. A small smile curved her lips.“I’d be happy to go with you.”“Good

    Victor stared at the paper until the numbers blurred. Daniel was his. The child he had seen holding Julian’s hand, the boy who looked at the world with his own eyes, was the son he never knew he had.A wave of nausea hit him. He remembered the night of the divorce the cold way he had pushed those papers across the table while Elara was secretly carrying this life inside her. She had faced that bridge, that water, and those five years of exile all alone because of his "promise to his first love “.Victor murmured to himself , his face ashen. "I’ve been a fool," he whispered. "A blind, arrogant fool."He spoke in a trembling voice, “How am I ever going to look at her again? And how will I convince my son that I am his father…? Will she ever forgive me?”How did she survive? How did she raise our son all alone? he wondered.He rose from his seat, aimless, and made his way back to his car, each step slow, weighed down by thoughts that refused to leave him. That night, sleep eluded him. He

Turning off the engine, he leaned back in his seat and let out a long, exhausted sigh.Maybe he had been wrong.Maybe he had only seen what he wanted to see.Just as he was about to start the car again, his phone buzzed.A message from his assistant.Sir, Mrs. Zara Williams has lived in the USA for most of her life. There is no record linking her to the identity of Elara.Several photos followed.Victor opened them one by one.In the pictures, Elara’s lookalike stood beside Julian, dressed in a graduation gown, smiling confidently at the camera. The cap

    Victor stepped out of the office, his mind in turmoil. For years, he had carried the crushing weight of guilt over Elara’s death. It had haunted his nights and shadowed his days. Yet now… she stood before him again alive, breathing only under a different name.Could it really be true?Was she not the one he had mourned all these years?Her face, her voice… They were the same. Unmistakable. Familiar enough to make his heart tremble.“This is impossible,” he muttered under his breath.Overwhelmed, he hurried into the restroom and splashed cold water onto his face, gripping the edge of the sink as if it were the only thing keeping him steady. He tried to gather his scattered thoughts, searching desperately for a fragment of peace of mind.The door suddenly creaked open.His assistant rushed in, concern evident in his eyes. “Sir, you ran in here like a jet. Is everything alright?”Victor straightened immediately, forcing composure over the storm raging inside him. He lifted his head and
