The days after the amusement park felt slow and heavy for Maya. Though she tried to focus on work and daily life, her mind always drifted back to the moment Jamie had clung to her, calling her “mom.” His tearful voice stayed in her heart, echoing over and over again.

But she didn’t expect what came next.

It was a quiet Thursday evening when her phone rang. She saw Elias’s name on the screen and quickly answered.

“Maya,” Elias’s voice was calm, but there was something serious in his tone. “I found something.”

Maya’s heart jumped. “What do you mean?”

“I went ahead with the investigation,” Elias continued. “And after going through every possible record… I found out where your child ended up.”

Maya froze. Her throat tightened. “You… did?”

“Yes. She was adopted. Her name is Anika. She was taken in by a couple—Mr. and Mrs. Denovan.”

Maya felt like the ground under her feet disappeared. “She?..Anika?” she whispered. “You mean… my child is a female and it’s Anika?”

“Yes,” Elias said gently. “

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   Kidnapped

    Lena couldn’t sleep. She sat on the edge of her bed, staring out the window. The night was quiet, but her mind was loud with anger. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Daniel’s face—his voice snapping, “Maya won’t do that!” like some kind of defense.Even after days had passed, the tension between them refused to ease. The silence in the house was heavy, filled with unspoken resentment. Lena couldn’t understand why Daniel’s heart still leaned toward someone who had already walked away. No matter what she did, Maya’s presence still lingered—quiet but powerful. It was like living in someone else’s shadow, and it gnawed at her more than she could admit.And now, Lena had discovered something that made her blood boil even more.Through one of her social contacts, she had learned that Maya had recently been spending time with a little girl from a well-known noble family. Lena couldn’t believe it at first—but the person had even shared a photo. There was Maya, walking beside a child dr

    Lena paced around the bedroom, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. Her heels clicked angrily against the marble floor with every step. She was still upset from her last argument with Daniel. The way he had defended Maya—again—was more than she could tolerate.Daniel didn’t even try to hide it anymore. Every time they argued, he found a way to bring up Maya. Whether it was a simple comparison or a careless outburst, her name was always on his lips. And Lena had had enough.“Is she a ghost?” Lena muttered to herself. “Or is she just so perfect in his eyes?”That night, she couldn’t sleep. While Daniel slept in the guest room, she sat on the bed, scrolling through her phone. Her eyes narrowed as she thought about Maya. She hadn’t paid much attention to her before—after all, Maya was supposed to be ruined, cast aside. But lately, Lena had begun to hear whispers that bothered her.People at her social club mentioned that Maya had started working again—at Verano, of all places. The sam

    The large windows filled the living room with light, but the air between Daniel and Lena remained cold and tense. Every glance, every breath they shared in that space felt like a silent battle neither was willing to lose.For days, they had walked past each other like strangers. Short greetings, fake smiles, and long silences filled the mansion. Jamie barely spoke to either of them. The boy was still upset about what had happened at the amusement park, and no one had managed to calm him down.Daniel sat in the living room, flipping through a business magazine without really reading it. His thoughts were somewhere else—always circling back to Maya. He kept seeing her with Elias, standing close, smiling at that little girl. That image was burned into his mind.And the more he thought about it, the more it felt like a slap in the face.Maya, the woman he once called his wife, was now laughing with another man. And not just any man—Elias Carter, his biggest business rival. How could she?

    A Few Days EarlierDaniel sat alone in his office, the lights dim, and the heavy silence broken only by the ticking of the wall clock. Papers were scattered across his desk, untouched. He had tried to focus on work, to push through the frustration building inside him—but it was no use.Nothing was going right.Every recent business deal had somehow slipped through his fingers. Whenever he tried to outmaneuver Elias in a negotiation or make a bold business move, it ended in disappointment. Clients he once had full control over were now praising Elias’s newer, sharper strategies. It burned Daniel deeply to think he was being outshined by someone he once considered beneath him.He leaned back in his chair, exhaling heavily.And it wasn’t just business. At home, things weren’t any better. Lena was barely around these days. She was either out shopping with her friends, attending social gatherings, or going on spa retreats. She had stopped even pretending to be interested in what was happen

    The next morning, Maya sat by the window, staring at the quiet street outside her apartment. Her thoughts were tangled. She had barely slept. The truth about Anika—her daughter—was finally out, and yet instead of feeling at peace, Maya felt more uncertain than ever.The phone on the table rang. It was Elias.She picked up after a deep breath.“Hello?” her voice was quiet.“Hey,” Elias answered gently. “How are you holding up?”There was a long pause. Maya looked down at her hands. “I don’t know, Elias. I’m happy… I really am. But I’m also scared.”“Scared of what?” he asked.Maya hesitated, then said, “What if I’m not good enough? What if I go there, and they reject me? What if Anika doesn’t want to see me as her mother? She has a beautiful life. They’re good people, Elias. I don’t want to ruin anything for her.”Elias’s voice softened. “Maya, you’re not ruining anything. You are her biological mother. That doesn’t go away, no matter how much time has passed or who raised her. You hav
