Sabrina's POV

"Can I join the game?" Nicholas asked excitedly.

Charlie immediately exclaimed, "Daddy always loses when he plays with me!"

Nicholas chuckled, raising both hands as if to surrender. "Alright, I'll just be a spectator," he said, but he continued to look at both of us with a gentle expression.

I smiled at the interaction between Nicholas and Charlie. I could feel the joy flowing between them.

"Don't worry, Nicholas. You can learn from us," I teased. "And who knows, maybe you can defeat Charlie next time!"

Charlie laughed, "Yeah, Daddy! We can practice together later!"

Nicholas nodded, his eyes sparkling. "Okay, I'll be a good spectator. But you both have to give me tips if I want to join later!"

I felt warm inside. Watching them have fun made the day feel brighter. "Alright, ready! Let's start this game!" I said, preparing to play.

Soon, the tow truck finally arrived. Nicholas spoke with the te

    Sabrina’s POV This morning was too quiet for such an important day. No news from outside, no incoming messages. Even the usually noisy social media groups seemed to be holding their breath. The world felt still, as if waiting for a bomb to go off.I looked out the window. Sunlight began piercing through the leaves, reflecting the shimmering sea onto the glass window. In the distance, the cries of seagulls echoed with the crashing waves hitting the rocks. Everything looked normal… too normal for a day that could change everything.Nicholas appeared a few minutes later, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers. His hair was still slightly damp, and his eyes were filled with resolve. “Morning,” he said, glancing at the table. “Morning,” I replied. “Eat first. I know you’re going to say you don’t have time, but you need to eat.” He gave a faint smile, pulled out a chair, and sat down. Charlie immediately greeted him with morning stories that fill

    Sabrina’s POV Morning light had yet to fully filter through the window when I opened my eyes. The air was still cool, and the scent of the sea from the backyard garden drifted faintly in with the breeze slipping through the window I’d forgotten to close last night.I lay still for a moment, letting the silence wash over the clutter in my head left by a night full of worry.A thin fog hung across the ceiling, reflecting the pale light that slowly seeped in through the cream-colored curtains. The sound of waves crashing in the distance was the only reminder that the world outside still pulsed with its own rhythm. But inside this room, time seemed to have stopped.The warm blanket wrapped around my body was the only shield from the cold that pierced to the bone. But it wasn’t the chill in the air I felt most—it was the emptiness. A creeping kind of hollow, slow but certain. My eyes stared at the ceiling, blank, directionless.My thoughts wandered back to the n

    Nicholas's POV When I arrived home, the guards were still on alert. They greeted me with a nod. I entered quietly, and a small voice welcomed me from inside the house.“Dad!”Charlie came running toward me and hugged me tightly. I smiled, bent down, and lifted his little body into my arms.“Have you eaten?” I asked.“Yup! Mom made egg rolls, they were so yummy!”I chuckled. “Wow! You’ll teach Dad how to make them tomorrow, okay?”Charlie nodded enthusiastically and ran back to the dining room. I turned toward the kitchen, where Sabrina was cleaning up the breakfast dishes.“How’s Hazel?” she asked without looking up.“Still in shock, but stable,” I said, walking over. “She’s fully conscious. Her injuries are serious, but she’s strong.”Sabrina put the cloth down on the table, then looked me straight in the eyes. “Did she… say anything about Charlie?”I nodded. “She said she misses him. But she’s afraid Charlie will hate her after finding

    Nicholas's POV How many more victims before this all ends? And how far do I have to go to uncover the truth that’s been buried? Hazel was just one of many trapped in the web of lies. But from the look in her eyes earlier, I knew she would fight back. And that gave me a little peace.“If she talks, Nicholas,” Prasetya said in a low voice beside me, “we have to be ready. This isn’t just about a court case. This could take down some very powerful names.”I nodded, still staring out. “I know. But let it happen. It’s time they faced the consequences for everything they’ve ruined.”Prasetya didn’t respond. But I could feel the same heavy tension in him. He knew what was at stake. But he was still here. And that was enough to remind me—we weren’t alone in this fight.Prasetya patted my shoulder. “We’ll speed up the process. Adrian won’t get away.”I nodded. “Hazel deserves justice. This isn’t just about the past. It’s about Charlie’s future.”Bima nodded in agr

    Nicholas's POV “I’m sorry, Hazel,” I said softly. “It took me too long to realize everything. I was too late.”Hazel closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again. “You… saved me, didn’t you? For that… thank you.”I lowered my head, gripping her cold hand. “You shouldn’t have been in a place like that.”Hazel glanced toward Bima and Prasetya, then back at me. “They said… Adrian’s been arrested?”I nodded. “We have enough evidence. Voice recordings, testimony from his men, transaction trails involving the murder orders—they all point to him. Including proof that he ordered the hit on me, and framed you.”Hazel’s face went blank for a moment. “So… all of this was really planned.”“You were used,” Bima said calmly. “Adrian exploited your anger to take down Nicholas. But he never cared about your life. To him, you were just a pawn.”Hazel closed her eyes, and a tear slowly slipped from the corner. I squeezed her fingers tighter, wanting her to know she

    Nicholas's POVOur footsteps echoed through the cold, quiet hospital corridor. On either side, white doors were tightly shut, hiding stories of wounds that had yet to heal. Prasetya walked beside me with his usual alert expression, while Bima had gone ahead to Hazel’s room.I took a deep breath, trying to calm the erratic beating of my heart. Even though we had saved Hazel from the attempted murder, the guilt still clung tightly to my chest. A minute later, and I might never have seen her alive again.The ceiling of the hospital corridor looked like a row of endless shadows. The dim neon lights cast a cold glow, reflecting off the tiled floor. The sharp smell of disinfectant stung my nose, mingling with the faint scent of medicine and an invisible tension. The sound of our steps became the only rhythm accompanying our path to Hazel’s room, as if the outside world had silenced all noise to leave only these punishing moments of silence.Every step I took seemed to make
