Mia's night had shifted. It was no longer a hollow echo of Andreas's silence, but now something alive, something burning. The moment she ran into his arms, her body responded before her mind could catch up. His warmth swallowed her, strong arms lifting her as her legs instinctively wrapped around his waist. Her breath caught in her throat as he kissed the side of her neck, his hands firm beneath her thighs. "Shh... quiet," she whispered against his earChapter 173EpilogueA year passed, not in silence, not in peace alone, but in healing.The kind of healing that came slowly. The kind that stitched broken pieces back together until they no longer looked like damage… but like strength.Andreas Leonardo stood at the edge of the field, dressed in a casual sporty attire, a register tucked under his arm. His voice rang out across the pitch, firm and commanding, lively as he directed his players with sharp precision.“Hold the line! Don’t break formation…wait for the opening! Then you attack… Attack!”Once, he had lived for the roar of the crowd.Now… he lived for something deeper.After retiring as a player, he took up coaching. And for the first time in his life, Andreas felt whole.Behind him, in the VIP stands, sat the reason why.Mia. And his beautiful family. She stood with quiet elegance, their son, little Andreas resting comfortably on her hip, his tiny fingers gripping her dress. Beside her, Sofia carried little April, who watch
Chapter 172 Andreas drove like a man chasing destiny. The car tore through the quiet streets, headlights slicing through the darkness. In the back seat, Mia gripped the leather tightly, her breath uneven, her body wracked with waves of pain that came harder. The contractions are faster with each passing second. “Ahh…Andreas…” she groaned, her voice trembling. “I’m here, baby. We’re almost there,” he said, his hands tight on the wheel, his eyes never leaving the road. But beneath the control in his voice was a rising panic. Another contraction hit. Mia cried out, her head falling back against the seat, her hair damp with sweat clinging to her face. “What do I do?” Andreas asked, his confusion evident. “Just… keep driving…” she breathed through the pain. “I’m not stopping, hang on a little longer. ” Andreas replied. And he didn’t. --- The car barely came to a halt at the hospital before Andreas was out. He sprinted into the hospital lobby, his voice cutting through the cal
Chapter 171 Relief came. Slowly… like air returning to lungs that had forgotten how to breathe. For the first time in what felt like forever, Andreas and Mia could finally exhale. The nightmare was over. Or at least, that was what they told themselves. --- Justice moved swiftly. With the weight of evidence stacked heavily against Don Carlos and his men, they stood no chance. His empire which had been built on blood, manipulation, and fear, crumbled under the scrutiny of the law. The courtroom had been silent that day. With a tense and expectant atmosphere. Andreas sat upright beside his lawyer. He'd come alone to the hearing. Now that Mia was already showing, he didn't want her to go through any more trauma. His expression remained calm but his hands were clenched tightly in his lap. Every muscle in his body was coiled with restrained anticipation. Across the room, Don Carlos stood with his men. Still. Composed. But Andreas could tell he was struggling to keep the faca
Chapter 170The loud crash tore through the house like a gunshot.Mia froze mid-step. For a fraction of a second, everything inside her went still, and then instinct took over.Something was wrong. She knew it. Terribly wrong.“Brian… Sophia…” she whispered, already moving.Then she ran.Her heartbeat thundered in her ears as she sprinted down the hallway, her bare feet slamming against the polished floor. The sound of shattering glass still echoed faintly, mixing with the muffled voices of strangers.She reached the children’s room and burst through the door, and stopped dead.Two men were there. Dressed in black. Armed.The broken window and the scattered shards of the glass revealed how they'd gotten in. One of the men had Sophia gripped tightly by the wrist. The other held Brian, his small shoulder pinned under a rough hand.“Mummy!” Sophia cried, her voice breaking as tears streamed down her face.Brian’s lower lip trembled, his eyes wide with terror.“Mum…” he whimpered.The si
Chapter 169 “It's okay, baby. Just listen to Mummy, alright.” Mia’s voice was calm, but the tension in the air betrayed the storm raging inside her chest. She crouched in front of her daughter, her hands gently holding Sophia’s shoulders. The dim lights of the living room cast long shadows across the marble floor, and somewhere outside the house, the crunch of footsteps on gravel echoed like distant thunder. Sophia nodded, her wide eyes shimmering with fear. Mia forced a reassuring smile. “Take your brother, go to your room. Lock the door and don't come out until your dad or I come to you. Do you hear me?” “Yes, Mum,” Sophia replied, her voice small but obedient. “Come on. Go now.” Sophia quickly grabbed Brian’s hand. The little boy looked confused, clutching his toy tightly, but he followed her without protest. Their hurried footsteps faded up the staircase as they disappeared down the hallway. Only then did the silence grow heavier. Andreas stepped away from the front door
Chapter 168"It’s gone!" Andreas shouted, frustration bubbling in his voice as Cross appeared in the doorway.Cross exhaled heavily. "They beat us to it."But then there was something else. His eyes widened in realization. If they'd gone through all of her belongings to get the locket, it only means they had more information than they needed. Especially about Brian. His family wasn't safe. Hurrying up on his feet, Andreas announced. “We have to leave. Now!” Detective Cross stood confused. “Is something wrong?” he asked. Andreas paced then. “Yes. Everything is wrong. Those guys just got more information about Brian. And my family probably. We have to get to them. Before they do.” Detective Cross nodded. Agreeing with him. “Alright. Let's go.” Before evening, they were back at the villa. The sun had dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the driveway.Andreas entered through the front door, breathless. Mia stood from the couch where she’d been folding some of Brian’
Chapter 163The corridors of the hospital were awash in a sterile white light, humming with quiet urgency. The sharp scent of antiseptics lingered in the air, mingling with a tension that seemed to vibrate through the linoleum floors. Inside the emergency unit, chaos bloomed. "She's crashing! Her
Chapter 159The sky above the penitentiary hung low and gray, casting a dismal pall over the women’s yard. The rusted fences creaked faintly in the wind, and even the birds that usually nested along the razor-wire seemed to have taken flight from the strange silence that had fallen over Cell Block
Chapter 161Days had passed since Luke Hartman dropped the courtroom’s biggest bombshell, yet the ripple effects still lingered. Today, the day for the final verdict, reporters with their cameras and gadgets were waiting, scratching furiously in their notepads, and spectators leaned forward in eag
Chapter 154 The stale air in the private consultation room reeked faintly of disinfectant and over-brewed coffee, the kind that sat too long on a metal plate and turned bitter. A dull strip light hummed overhead, its glare washing everything in a flat, institutional pallor. Tania Costa sat opposit
