เข้าสู่ระบบReyna's POVThe clock showed almost four in the morning, but I couldn't sleep. My eyes were still open staring at the dark bedroom ceiling.Two days had passed since Kirana left. Two days that felt like two years. Every second was heavy and torturous.Today was Kirana's fifth birthday. A day that should have been filled with laughter, cake, candles, and hopes. But now there was only emptiness.My tears flowed again. Who knows how many times tonight. I was tired of crying, but the tears kept flowing without control.I looked at my phone displaying Kirana's broadly smiling face on the screen."Happy birthday, sweetheart," I whispered softly while touching the screen. "Forgive Mommy for not being able to celebrate it with you."My chest tightened. My sobs broke out again.Yesterday afternoon, Aldric arranged a simple funeral ceremony for Kirana. Only the two of us attended. No one else. No family from Arvan's side. No friends or acquaintances.Just me and Aldric. We stood in front of a s
Arvan's POVTwo days had passed since the company anniversary party. Since then I hadn't gone home or asked about Reyna and Kirana. I was still upset with them.I sat in the hospital VIP room watching Rio sleep peacefully in bed. His fever had gone down since the first day Lara and I brought him to the hospital. But Lara insisted that Rio stay hospitalized until he was completely recovered.Lara sat beside me. Her face was tired but beautiful. Her hair was slightly messy. She looked fragile and in need of protection."Thank you for staying with us these two days, Arvan," she said softly while touching my arm. "I don't know what I would do without you."I nodded without saying much. My mind drifted for a moment.Seeing Rio, somehow I remembered Kirana.I remembered her pale face when I dropped her and Reyna off on the road. Her small body limp in Reyna's embrace. Reyna's words screaming desperately—"Kirana is almost dead!"My chest tightened for a second.But I immediately shook my hea
I stood in front of the building I had called home for the past four years. A home filled with bitter memories and occasional warm moments that now felt like illusions. My hands trembled as I opened the door with the spare key I always carried. The house was dark and silent. No sound of Kirana's laughter or her small voice calling me "Mommy." No rabbit doll and toys scattered on the floor. Only suffocating emptiness. I turned on the lights and walked toward Kirana's room. Her bedroom door was still open as I had left it last night. Her bed was still messy. Her rabbit doll lay on the pillow, as if waiting for its owner to return. But Kirana would never return. My chest tightened. I could barely breathe. I forced myself to turn and walk to the living room, looking for the divorce papers Arvan had given me a few days ago. The brown folder still lay on the table, in the same place since I brought it home from his office. I opened it and skimmed through it. Full cu
The ICU waiting room was silent.I sat in the waiting chair with my body frozen. My dress was still dirty with street dust. My hair was disheveled. But I didn't care.I only cared about one thing.Kirana.My eyes stared intently at the tightly closed ICU door. Behind that door, Kirana was fighting. But I knew. Her chances were very slim. Dr. Morrison had warned me from the beginning. The tumor in her brainstem was too aggressive. One month. That was the time limit given.And now, after tonight's incident, after Kirana fainted from hearing cruel words from her own father, that time limit might be even shorter.My tears flowed.I cried silently, covering my face with both hands."I'm sorry, Kirana," I whispered softly. "Forgive Mommy for not being able to protect you. Forgive Mommy for letting you hear all those bad words."My chest tightened remembering Arvan's cruel words.I shouldn't have brought Kirana to that party. Shouldn't have let her meet Arvan tonight. I should have known tha
Arvan nodded stiffly.I handed Kirana to a trusted assistant, then walked ahead of Arvan out of the ballroom.I didn't care about people's stares.I only cared about one thing.Arvan had just shattered our daughter's heart. And I wouldn't stay silent.I led Arvan to a quiet hotel corridor.My hands trembled holding back anger that had reached its peak."Do you know what you just did?" I asked in a low voice full of emotion. "You just shattered your own daughter's heart!"Arvan stared at me sharply."I regret agreeing to your condition," he said in a cold tone. "It only caused problems. I should never have agreed to be Kirana's father."I was stunned. "Kirana is your child. How can you call her a problem?""She is a problem!" Arvan looked at me with burning eyes. "And all of this happened because of you! I have to pretend to care, pretend to be a good father, while every time I see her, I only remember how you trapped me!"Every word from Arvan stabbed my heart like a knife."She's you
After the incident on the hill, Arvan became cold toward me again.He still came for Kirana, but every time his eyes met mine, there was an impenetrable ice wall.As if he was counting down the days until our agreement ended.I tried not to care. Tried to focus on Kirana and my work.But the days became lonelier. Colder.Two weeks later, Arvan's company held its annual party.I didn't want to go. Didn't want to be in the same room with people who looked at me like I was trash.But Kirana begged with sparkling eyes."Mom, let's go. I want to see Dad in a suit. My friends say office parties are cool."I couldn't refuse her smile.Arvan also agreed when Kirana called him. He even sent two dresses for us. For Kirana, a white dress with a pink ribbon. For me, a simple elegant black dress.I stared at the dress for a long time. This wasn't a luxurious gown like those usually worn by other executives' wives.But I didn't care. I never cared about things like that.The party night arrived.Th
