تسجيل الدخولHe walked away from her without a word… and never knew he left behind a piece of himself. Five years ago, Seraphina loved Kael with everything she had—until he disappeared from her life like she meant nothing. No goodbye. No explanation. Just silence. Picking up the shattered pieces of her heart, she built a new life from nothing… and protected the secret he was never meant to find. Their child. Now he’s back—richer, colder, and more powerful than ever. A billionaire who gets what he wants. And this time, what he wants… is answers. But nothing prepares him for the moment he sees the little boy with her eyes—and his face. Betrayal ignites. Regret cuts deep. And the past they both tried to bury comes crashing back with dangerous intensity. He demands his place in the child’s life. She refuses to let him rewrite history. Yet the more they fight, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth neither of them escaped— They were never over. As secrets unravel and old enemies begin to circle, the fragile world she built starts to crack. Because loving him once nearly destroyed her… and trusting him again could cost her everything. But when the truth about why he really left finally comes to light— will she run from him again… or realize that the man who broke her heart never truly let her go? Because this time, he isn’t just back for answers. He’s back to claim what’s his.
عرض المزيدThe city stretched wide beneath the fading light, its edges softened by the slow descent of evening. Traffic moved in steady lines, headlights blinking on one after the other, like a quiet signal that the day was ending whether anyone was ready for it or not. The sky had turned that particular shade of amber that made everything feel suspended between moments—not quite day, not quite night.Inside the car, the silence felt different.Kael rested one hand against the steering wheel, his gaze fixed ahead, though his focus wasn't entirely on the road. The hum of the engine blended with the distant noise of the city, but neither reached him fully. His thoughts had turned inward, circling something he couldn't quite name.His mind lingered somewhere else.A smaller street.A quieter space.A boy's voice filling the car with unfiltered curiosity, questions tumbling out without hesitation or calculation.He exhaled slowly, adjusting his grip just slightly. The leather felt warm beneath his p
The school gates were still closed when Seraphina arrived.A small cluster of parents had already gathered along the pavement, some standing, some seated in their cars, all waiting with the quiet patience that came with routine. The late afternoon sun hung low, casting a warm glow over the building, softening its edges.Seraphina stepped out of the cab, adjusting the strap of her bag over her shoulder. Her eyes moved instinctively toward the gate—Then stopped.Kael.He stood a short distance away, near the same spot she usually waited. One hand rested loosely in his pocket, the other by his side, his posture relaxed but deliberate. Like he had been there for a while.Like he intended to be.Her steps slowed, just slightly.Something shifted in her chest—unexpected—but she pushed it down as she walked toward him.“What are you doing here?” she asked.Kael turned his head at the sound of her voice, his gaze settling on her without urgency. “Waiting.”Seraphina held his gaze for a mom
“Was that your dad?”Aldren looked up from his drawing, his pencil pausing mid-line as the question settled somewhere between confusion and curiosity. He blinked once, then tilted his head slightly.“Who?”Matthew leaned closer across the table, his voice dropping like he was about to share something important—even though they were just sitting in class and Miss Lora was right there at the front, writing something on the board.“The man,” Matthew said, gesturing vaguely with his hand. “The one who came to pick you up after school last week.”Aldren’s brows pulled together just a little. “My mom picks me up.”“I know,” Matthew said quickly. “But that day—she didn’t. I saw you with him.”Aldren stared at him for a second longer, then looked back down at his drawing, his pencil tapping lightly against the paper as he tried to remember.Oh.His face shifted, recognition settling in.“You mean Uncle Kael?” he said.Matthew’s eyes lit up immediately. “So you do know him!”Aldren nodded once
The boardroom was quiet in the way expensive rooms often were—sound softened by design, voices measured, movements controlled.A man at the far end of the table was speaking, his tone steady as he outlined projections, numbers sliding across the screen behind him in neat, calculated rows.Kael sat at the head of the table, one hand resting lightly against the arm of his chair, his gaze fixed forward.He looked like he was listening.No interruptions.No visible distraction.But his attention wasn’t there.Not fully.“…and if we move forward with the second phase, we’re looking at a projected increase of—”“Pause.”The word cut through the room—not loud, but precise enough to stop everything immediately.The speaker went still, and the room followed.Kael leaned back slightly, his fingers tapping once against the armrest before going still again.“Send the revised numbers to my office,” he said. “We’ll continue this later.”A brief hesitation passed through the room—uncertainty, quickl
“Run the numbers again.”The room fell silent.Kael didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t need to. The command alone was enough to shift the atmosphere, tightening it like a drawn wire. Around the long glass table, executives exchanged brief, uneasy glances before one of them cleared his throat.“We al
“Thank you for the update, Mr. Larrick. I’ll review the files and get back to you by tomorrow morning,” Seraphina said, her voice calm and measured as she jotted down notes on her tablet.The soft hum of her computer and the faint tapping of her pen filled the room, steady and familiar. It was a rh
Seraphina set the last carton of milk in the fridge, her fingers trembling slightly as if the simple act of placing it down could betray her. The faint scrape of the box against the surface made her flinch. She curled her fingers into her palm, forcing them still. Her mind refused to quiet down.
“Aldren, stop running or you’re going to be late for school!”Seraphina’s voice followed him down the narrow hallway, breathless but firm, though the small smile tugging at her lips betrayed her.“I’m not running!” Aldren called back, his laughter echoing as his tiny feet thudded against the floor.
