"You're late, hon," Rocsan's voice greeted him the moment he stepped into the office.

Leaf stopped briefly, realizing he had completely lost track of time. He had a meeting with a client at ten in the morning, yet he had only arrived now. The sun was already high in the sky. He had left early from his in-laws' house, leaving Sahara behind while she was still asleep. Before leaving, he had explained everything to her mother, apologizing for not waiting for his wife to wake up.

  • HIS INNOCENT DOLL   Thirty Two

    "Lennox, sweetheart..." Sahara crouched down until she was at eye level with her son. She gently brushed the hair away from his forehead, forcing a smile despite the storm raging inside her. "Why don't you go with Uncle Sancho for a little while?" Her voice was soft and steady—the same comforting tone she always used whenever she wanted him to feel safe. "Mama just needs to talk to our guest." Lennox looked from his mother to Leaf, then back again. His little face was scrunched in confusion. "But, Mama..." His small fingers wrapped around her hand. "...is he my papa?" The question pierced straight through her heart. For a moment, Sahara forgot how to breathe. She had imagined this day countless times. She had rehearsed answers in her mind. She had promised herself she would know exactly what to say when Lennox finally asked. But nothing could have prepared her for hearing those words while Leaf was standing only a few feet away. She looked into her son's innocent eyes.

  • HIS INNOCENT DOLL   Thirty One

    Sahara didn't know what she was supposed to feel. She had spent five years imagining this moment. Five years convincing herself that if she ever saw him again, she would remain calm. She would look him in the eye without flinching. Without letting him see that he had once been the center of her world. But now that he was standing only a few feet away... Every emotion she had buried came rushing back. Her heart pounded violently against her ribs. She hated that it still did. She studied him carefully. Leaf had changed. The years had left their mark on him. He looked leaner than she remembered, the sharpness of his jaw more pronounced. Fine lines framed the corners of his gray eyes, evidence of sleepless nights and burdens carried alone. His neatly trimmed beard made him look older, more rugged, but it did nothing to diminish the devastatingly handsome man standing before her. If anything... He looked even more attractive than he had five years ago. That realiz

  • HIS INNOCENT DOLL   Thirty

    Leaf had been sitting inside his parked SUV across the street for nearly an hour, yet he hadn't noticed the time passing. His eyes never left the bakery. A weathered wooden sign hung above the entrance, gently swaying with the ocean breeze. Through the large glass windows, he could see customers coming and going, laughter spilling onto the sidewalk every time the door opened. And there she was. Sahara. She moved gracefully behind the display counter, greeting every customer with the same warm smile that had once brightened his darkest days. She laughed softly at something an elderly woman said before carefully boxing a cheesecake and handing it over with both hands. "Thank you, Mrs. Dawson. Tell your husband I added his favorite cinnamon rolls." The older woman smiled fondly. "You always spoil us, sweetheart." "You've been supporting my bakery since the beginning," Sahara replied with a grin. "It's the least I can do." Leaf watched every little movement. Every smile

  • HIS INNOCENT DOLL   Twenty Nine

    Sahara wasn't prepared for what she saw when she opened the front door. The smile on her face disappeared instantly. Her breath caught. Her entire body froze. Standing on her porch were four familiar men. Klent. Sancho. Slye. Stryker. For a long moment, no one spoke. It felt as though five years had disappeared in the blink of an eye. Sahara's fingers tightened around the doorknob as her heart pounded painfully against her ribs. "...big brothers?" Her voice came out as nothing more than a whisper. She looked from one face to another, hoping—praying—that she was imagining everything. She wasn't. They were really here. Five years. She had managed to stay hidden for five years. And now...they had found her. Her eyes slowly shifted toward Klent. "You told them..." It wasn't a question. Klent lowered his head. "I'm sorry." The guilt in his voice was unmistakable. "I couldn't keep lying to them anymore." Sahara closed her eyes. A thousand emotions crashed into her

  • HIS INNOCENT DOLL   Twenty Eight

    Leaf didn't know what he was supposed to feel anymore. Relief. Anger. Hope. Regret. All of them crashed into him at once until he couldn't tell where one emotion ended and another began. For five long years, Sahara had vanished without a trace. Five years of chasing dead ends. Five years of hiring the best private investigators money could buy. Five years of waking up every morning with the same question haunting him.Where are you, doll?And now... He finally had his answer. His private investigator had found her. Leaf leaned back in his chair, unable to tear his eyes away from the photographs spread across his desk. His fingers hovered over one picture before carefully picking it up, almost afraid it would disappear if he touched it too roughly. "There you are..." he whispered. His voice was barely audible. Sahara. His wife. The woman who had walked away without saying goodbye. She looked...different. Not because he no longer recognized her. Because she looke

  • HIS INNOCENT DOLL   Twenty Seven

    Five Years LaterFive years. Five long years had passed since Sahara disappeared without a trace. Not a single day went by that Leaf didn't think about her. Every morning, he woke up hoping that somehow there would be news about his wife. Every night, he fell asleep wondering where she was, whether she had eaten, whether she was safe, or whether she was smiling somewhere far away without him. He had searched everywhere. He hired one private investigator after another, refusing to give up no matter how much it cost him."I don't care how much you charge," he would always tell them. "Just find my wife." Every investigation ended the same way."I'm sorry, Mr. Morgan," they would say. "We've exhausted every lead. It's as if Mrs. Morgan disappeared from the face of the earth."The words never became easier to hear. It was almost impossible to believe. He was one of the country's most influential businessmen. He had money, connections, and resources beyond what most people could imagine,

  • HIS INNOCENT DOLL   Seven

    The next morning. Despite everything that had happened the day before, Sahara still woke up early. She quietly got out of bed and headed downstairs to prepare breakfast before her husband left for work. There were no household staff in the house, so she handled everything herself—from doing the

  • HIS INNOCENT DOLL   Six

    Sahara walked unsteadily into the bathroom, barely aware that she hadn’t even brought any clothes with her. It didn’t matter. Nothing really did in that moment except the tight ache in her chest and the tears that kept slipping down her face without warning. The moment Leaf mentioned her name—Rocs

  • HIS INNOCENT DOLL   Five (SPG)

    She couldn’t speak after hearing his words. It felt like something inside her had gone completely still—like her voice had been taken from her, leaving only the unbearable weight in her chest. She knew she had been wrong. She knew she had hurt him. That truth was something she could never escape

  • HIS INNOCENT DOLL   Four

    Sahara wanted to leave—but she couldn’t. No matter how heavy her heart felt, she found herself trapped by everything around her. Her parents. His family. Aunt Sharlene, who had always adored her and openly approved of her for her only son. Everyone had already accepted her as part of his life. An
