ログインEloise couldn’t believe what she was hearing.She stepped closer to the man who had just arrived, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.“I am… what?” Eloise asked again, her voice barely above a whisper.Victor smiled faintly. “You are the heiress to the entire Hudson family fortune. You are the next lady of the house.”Eloise blinked, her mind struggling to catch up. Slowly, she turned to Sebastian, as if silently asking him to make sense of everything for her. Sebastian noticed immediately.“How can we be sure that what you’re saying is true?” Sebastian asked firmly.“I believe Mr. Everheart can answer your questions.”Everyone turned toward Sergio, who stood quietly at the side. What shocked Eloise the most was that her father didn’t look surprised at all.“Dad?” Eloise asked, her voice shaking. “Do you know this man?”Sergio let out a heavy sigh. “Yes, Eloise. He is the butler of your mother’s family.”Eloise’s mouth fell open. “So… you mean he’s telling the truth?”Sergio stepp
From the moment Eloise was discharged from the hospital, Sebastian became even more hands-on with both mother and child.He barely let Eloise lift a finger. In fact, he even hired a personal nurse to help her recover faster.“Hmmm… looks like your husband is making up for everything, huh?” Mhia teased. “At this point, he might as well spoon-feed you.”Eloise winced slightly.“Exactly. It’s been three months already, but he still won’t let the nurse go. I’m starting to feel embarrassed.”Mhia laughed. “Must be nice. Look at him—he’s the one taking care of the baby again. Does that man even sleep anymore?”Eloise let out a soft sigh and glanced toward the garden, where Sebastian was gently letting their baby bask in the morning sun.She leaned back, watching him with a small smile tugging at her lips.“Yeah… I think I’m really lucky.”Mhia smiled as well. She was genuinely happy for her friend. After everything Eloise had gone through, she deserved every bit of peace and happiness life
Eloise was overflowing with joy as she cradled their baby in her arms. She couldn’t stop the tears from falling—tears born not of pain, but of overwhelming happiness.“She looks exactly like you, love,” Sebastian said with a smile, his eyes never leaving the baby.Eloise sniffed, her lips trembling. “She has your nose.”Sebastian chuckled softly. “Yes.”“Elise Jane,” Eloise said gently. “We’ll call her Elise Jane.”Sebastian nodded. “That’s a beautiful name, love.”Eloise smiled when the baby seemed to smile back—just a tiny curl of her lips, as if she were truly accepting the name her mother had given her.They stayed in the hospital for several more days. The doctors needed to closely monitor their condition—especially Elise, since she had been born prematurely.Thankfully, there were no major complications. Elise simply needed time for her lungs to grow stronger.Once Eloise was able to stand, she became more hands-on with the baby. But Sebastian was firmly against it.“Love, it’s
Sebastian sat beside the hospital be. His eyes fixed on Eloise’s still, unmoving face. She hadn’t woken up since the operation. From the moment the doctors wheeled her out of the emergency room, he refused to leave her side. Not even for a second.After everything that happened, she had to undergo an emergency caesarean. She suddenly bled from the overwhelming stress of the kidnapping… and the threat against her.Sebastian had been terrified out of his mind. Even though he needed treatment himself, he wouldn’t allow anyone to pull him away from his wife.“Sir, Mr. Johnson is already in jail,” Marcus informed him quietly.Sebastian inhaled deeply. “And the others?”“They’re also in prison, Sir. Everything has been handled.”Sebastian’s fists tightened. His expression darkened. Inside those prison bars, the men who tried to touch Eloise were being beaten by other inmates. Even Mr. Johnson was getting the punishment he brought upon himself.Sebastian understood the man’s grief… but drag
Sebastian gritted his teeth. “I told you already. You don’t need to come with me.”He was driving toward the abandoned warehouse Mr. Johnson had texted about. His jaw was tight, his knuckles white on the wheel.“I can’t let you walk into this alone,” his companion insisted. “I don’t know what happened between you two, but I can feel this is dangerous for you.”Sebastian’s grip tightened even more.Mr. Johnson. He couldn’t believe the man returned. He knew the old man blamed him—Lucille’s breakdown, the chaos that followed… everything. But Sebastian never wanted any of that to happen. And if Eloise never came back to him, he was prepared to honor his promise to Lucille.Why couldn’t Mr. Johnson see that?Why drag Eloise into this—Eloise, who was pregnant?And after everything Lucille had also done to them? After she was the reason Eloise left him in the first place?Shouldn’t things be even by now?“Fine,” Sebastian finally muttered. “But I’m the only one going inside.”“Whatever. Just
Sebastian staggered back a step. “I—I… I didn’t know it was him.”For years, he had blamed Dustin, hated him, even. But not once did it cross his mind that that boy, of all people, was the monster who hurt Stella.Brixton Rhys… Their class president. Clean-cut. Soft-spoken. The kind of kid who looked like he couldn’t hurt a fly. He never got into trouble. No enemies. No red flags. He looked like every average high school senior—Except, of course, he came from a powerful political family. A senator’s son.Dustin sighed heavily. “I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you. I tried, Sebastian. I swear. I even went to the police. But they told me to keep my mouth shut. And the next thing I knew, my parents and I were suddenly being shipped off to the US.”His brows furrowed in quiet frustration, his voice trembling with memories he clearly tried to bury.“I couldn’t do anything, Sebastian. I was a kid. I wanted to fight for her, I couldn't do anything that time.”Sebastian’s chest tightened. The
