Sabrina's POV
As I gazed outside, my thoughts drifted to all the challenges that might come. However, I was confident that we could face them together. Nicholas was a strong person, and we would always support him, no matter how difficult the situation was.“Together, we can get through this,” I whispered to myself. With the love we had, I believed that everything would be alright.After a while, I felt tired but didn’t want to disturb Charlie’s sleep. He looked so peaceful, and I wanted to protect this moment for as long as possible. I started thinking about plans for tonight—a simple menu and maybe a family movie we could watch together after Nicholas came home.***The wall clock in the living room showed a little past ten when I glanced at it. It had only been two hours since Nicholas left for work, but it felt like Charlie and I had done so much. We played, read books, laughed together, and then watched cartoons while eating fruit. A munNicholas's POV We didn’t talk much as I changed clothes and sat at the dining table. Sabrina served dinner with her usual calm movements, but I knew she was watching me more than usual. Occasionally, I caught her gaze lingering on my face, as if searching for a crack to ask, What’s wrong?But she didn’t ask. And I didn’t explain.Because if I started talking now, I knew I wouldn’t be able to stop. And I wasn’t ready to bring that storm into this house. Not tonight.After dinner, I took my plate to the sink and walked to the living room. Charlie was already sitting cross-legged with a sheet full of doodles. On it was a drawing of a rectangular fort that looked like a pile of large boxes.“This is the door, this is the secret room, and this is the cannon room to shoot at the enemies,” he said, pointing to parts of the drawing.I chuckled. “Wow, this fort looks serious. Who are the enemies?”Charlie raised an eyebrow. “Anyone w
Nicholas's POV I started formulating a strategy. First, I had to speak with the legal team. They needed to know about Yudha’s involvement and how this could affect our position. I also had to prepare myself for the possibility that Yudha might try to retaliate.As I gathered documents and noted important details, I promised myself there would be no room for error. I would protect everything that mattered to me, and I wouldn’t let anyone ruin the happiness of my family.Every step I took from here was to ensure that justice was served. Andrian and Yudha might think they could control the situation, but I would take back control of my life, my business, and my family.My phone rang again. This time it was my lawyer’s personal number.“Mr. Nicholas, I just reviewed the documents you sent. This could be a serious case. But… you need to be careful. If there is indeed abuse of power and embezzlement, not only could your company collapse, but your person
Nicholas's POV I sat back down, staring at the still-lit screen. The highlighted numbers and names now felt like pieces of a puzzle slowly coming together, forming the picture I had tried to deny all along. Andrian was not just a disappointed business associate. He was a threat. An enemy who had slipped in while I was wounded and distracted.A wave of anxiety enveloped me. Every message I received, every report that came in, revealed how deeply the web he had woven was aimed at bringing me down. He not only wanted to ruin the business but also destroy everything I had built, including my family.I struggled to remember every meeting, every discussion that seemed ordinary. But now, all of it felt like a trap meticulously prepared. I looked at the family photo on my desk—Charlie and my wife, my sources of strength. They were the reason I had to fight, no matter how difficult it became.“No, Andrian. I won’t let you take everything,” I whispered, determined.I began to formulate a plan.

Sabrina's POV We finished the chores quickly, and each time Charlie did something right, I praised him. “You’re amazing, buddy! I’m proud of you!”After the kitchen was clean and all the little tasks were done, we moved to the living room. I spread out the play mat, and Charlie immediately grabbed the colorful blocks from their box. He started stacking them enthusiastically, creating a tall building that he called the “castle of Daddy, Mommy, and Charlie.”“We live here,” he said, pointing to the center of the structure.“Wow, that’s a big house. Is there a special room for dinosaurs too?” I teased.“Of course!” he said, then picked up a large green block. “This is the T-Rex’s cage!”I laughed at his incredible imagination. “Cool! So, we have to be careful so the T-Rex doesn’t get out and disturb us, right?”Charlie nodded seriously. “Yes, Mommy. We have to keep this castle safe!”He continued stacking blocks while
Sabrina's POV The air was still cool, the aroma of freshly toasted bread filled the kitchen, and Charlie sat in his chair, spooning cereal into his little mouth. His cheerful smile made the morning feel warm and full of energy.“Good morning, sweetheart!” I said, pouring myself a cup of coffee.“Morning, Mom!” he replied cheerfully, his eyes sparkling with excitement.I watched him enjoy his breakfast, my heart filled with gratitude. After everything we had been through, seeing him happy like this was a blessing. Each spoonful of cereal he took seemed to be a sign that he was getting better, and it brought a smile to my face.“The toast is ready!” I called out, pulling out the browned slices of bread.Charlie immediately turned his head, “Yay! My favorite toast!”I served it on a plate, adding a bit of strawberry jam on top. Watching him devour his breakfast heartily made me feel at peace. This was a small step toward t
