# Chapter 126: Four Years in the Shadows

A light drizzle still hung over the skies of Buenos Aires, leaving a film of cold moisture clinging to the windowpanes and leaves. Amid the relentless mist, Fernando stood rigidly before a small, white-painted house. The chill of this unfamiliar city seeped into his bones, but the coldness in his chest was far more agonizing. Every drop of rain slipping from the edge of the roof seemed to bring with it a fragment of the past, memories he had desperately

    Only Aixa and Fernando remained in the front yard. The cold air of Buenos Aires seeped into their bones, cutting sharply through the wet clothes clinging to their skin. The leaves surrounding the yard glistened beneath the lingering drizzle, reflecting the faint glow of the dim streetlights. Aixa wrapped her arms tightly around herself to ward off the shivers, pulling her soft, loosely knitted sweater closer around her body as the dampness of the night began to settle into the fabric. "I'm not promising you anything," Aixa said quietly, reaffirming the boundary between them. Her voice was clear yet carried an unyielding firmness, forming an invisible wall that stood strong to protect both her and the children from the wounds of the past. Fernando shook his head slowly, his expression sincere. "I'm not asking for anything more than a chance, either." He briefly turned his gaze toward the small, white-painted house, a modest place he had never imagined would become the ultimate desti

    The wooden door creaked softly once more. The gentle groan of the hinges broke through the quiet drizzle of Buenos Aires, interrupting the tense conversation between the two adults. A tiny figure hesitantly stepped out from the dimly lit doorway. A little girl suddenly appeared through the narrow opening, bringing an aura of innocence that stood in stark contrast to the cold, tense atmosphere outside. Elena gazed at the strange man in her yard with wide eyes brimming with genuine curiosity. The night breeze stirred the fine strands of her hair as she looked up at her mother, who remained standing rigidly. "Mama, who is he?" The yard fell silent in an instant. The light rain seemed to hold its breath, allowing each awkward second to stretch into an almost unbearable stillness. Fernando stood motionless for a moment, his chest struck by a powerful surge of emotion as the child's name and voice reached him directly. The man who was accustomed to being cold and commanding on the interna

    Aixa stood right in the doorway. She looked different now, more mature and far calmer. Faint lines of exhaustion and the struggles she had endured over the past four years were etched into the corners of her face, yet they lent her a new kind of elegance, one that radiated extraordinary resilience. She no longer resembled the vulnerable young woman who could be easily swayed by sweet promises or the slightest shift in someone's mood. And yet, despite all the changes time had brought, her eyes remained the same. They were the eyes that had once looked at Fernando with such hope, holding a profound, honest light and waiting for something he had never been able to give her completely. Behind Aixa's dress, two small figures slowly emerged from the darkness of the hallway. A little boy and a little girl, both with round, curious eyes, glanced hesitantly at the strange man standing in the pouring rain. Fernando knew immediately. No lengthy verbal explanation, no DNA test, no official docu

Amid the relentless mist, Fernando stood rigidly before a small, white-painted house. The chill of this unfamiliar city seeped into his bones, but the coldness in his chest was far more agonizing. Every drop of rain slipping from the edge of the roof seemed to bring with it a fragment of the past, memories he had desperately tried to bury throughout the weeks he had spent searching for her. His hands hung stiffly at his sides. His fingers trembled faintly, clenched so tightly that his knuckles had turned white. For several minutes, he had done nothing but stand there, frozen in the suffocating silence of a quiet suburban street. He neither stepped forward nor knocked on the wooden door before him. It was as though the small step across the threshold weighed more heavily on him than every multimillion-dollar busine

    # The Truth About Four Years Ago The atmosphere inside the magnificent church, a masterpiece of classical architecture in the heart of Madrid, grew increasingly lively and vibrant. The gentle melody of the organ echoed softly throughout the grand hall, filling every corner of the soaring, stone-walled sanctuary. Morning sunlight streamed through the stained-glass windows, casting a beautiful, muted glow across the thick red carpet that stretched straight toward the altar. The ancient church was gradually filling with hundreds of distinguished guests from the upper echelons of society. Members of the Castello family arrived dressed in their finest formal attire. The men wore suits tailored by renowned designers, while the women adorned themselves in elegant gowns complemented by extravagant jewelry.

    The hawk-eyed man stepped one pace closer, cutting the distance between them until Aixa could smell the expensive cologne lingering on his body. The black umbrella Sebastian held now shielded her head from the pounding rain, yet the cold surrounding them seemed to grow even heavier. “How much do

    Suddenly, a blinding white beam of light cut through the darkness of the night, illuminating Aixa's kneeling figure. The deep, smooth, yet powerful roar of engines shattered the silence of the deserted street outside the bar.It was not just one vehicle, but a convoy of more than a dozen gleaming b
