The evening sky was darkening as the sleek black luxury car cruised down the highway. In the front passenger seat, Olivia Grace looked exhausted, yet still carried her signature elegance. She turned around to glance at her daughter, Elliana, who was peacefully asleep in her car seat.

"She’s completely worn out after the argument earlier," Olivia murmured softly.

Daniel, her personal assistant and the man behind the wheel, cast a quick glance in the rearview mirror. Tall and stern-faced, he forced a small smile. “It’s been quite a draining day, Ma’am. But we’re almost home.”

Olivia nodded and closed her eyes for a brief moment. The peace lasted only seconds.

“Wait… what’s wrong with the brakes?” Daniel muttered, his brows furrowing as he pressed the pedal harder. Nothing happened.

“The brakes… they’re not responding!”

Olivia’s eyes shot open. “What do you mean?”

“The brakes are out! I can’t stop the car!”

She turned her head forward immediately. The speedometer needle was climbing rapi

    The ambulance siren wailed as the emergency vehicle pulled into the ER entrance. Nurses rushed to lower the stretcher carrying Elliana—her small body pale and limp, an oxygen tube clinging to her nose. Olivia Grace ran close behind, the blood on her temple still fresh, but she didn’t care. Her heart was beating for one thing only—her daughter’s survival.“Take her to the pediatric ICU, now! We need a CT scan and a full blood panel!” one of the doctors barked.Olivia stopped at the edge of the emergency room entrance. The staff wouldn’t let her in. She stood frozen, trembling, her hand covering her mouth. Her eyes locked on the door that had just shut tightly in front of her.Time crawled. Every second sliced through her chest like a knife.Minutes later, a nurse approached her. The young woman held a clipboard, her expression tight with concern.“Miss Olivia,” she said gently. “We’ve run a blood test on Elliana. Unfortunately… her blood type is very rare—AB Rh-negative. We don’t have

    Olivia stared at the phone screen Daniel handed her. The photo showed the underside of her car—its brake line had been cleanly cut, as if by the hands of a professional.“The brake line was cut. This wasn’t some ordinary malfunction,” Daniel said softly. “Someone wanted that car to fail.”Olivia froze. Her throat tightened. Her entire body went cold like ice.“You mean... the accident was planned?” she whispered, barely audible.Daniel nodded slowly. “I believe someone is trying to kill you, Ma’am.”Olivia closed her eyes. Her mind raced.Who would do such a thing? Who wants me dead? Hunter… or Sophia Joy?Those two names filled her thoughts instantly. Hunter Jackson—her husband turned enemy. Sophia Joy—the woman who quietly stole her place. Both of them had reasons to want her gone.She was still reeling from the shock when hurried footsteps echoed nearby. Hunter Jackson had just come out of the blood donor room. His expression remained calm as always, but his eyes held a chilling

    Daniel stood frozen, his eyes widening as he watched Olivia sign the document handed over by Hunter Jackson. His fists clenched at his sides, as if resisting the urge to intervene.“Miss… are you really signing that paper?” he asked, his voice trembling with disbelief.Olivia turned slowly, her face calm, yet her sorrow was clearly reflected in her eyes. She drew in a deep breath, as if forcing herself to swallow a bitter reality.“I don’t have a choice, Daniel,” she whispered. “Right now, all I care about is making sure my daughter is safe.”With a firm, albeit trembling hand, she passed the file back to Hunter. In an instant, Sophia Joy snatched it eagerly, her smile widening like she had just won a battle.“Finally… it’s this easy to become the boss,” she sneered with a mocking laugh, her eyes gleaming with triumph as they locked onto Olivia’s.Olivia didn’t respond. She simply shook her head, refusing to dignify Sophia with an answer. But inside, her chest tightened painfully. Non

    After receiving a blood donation from Hunter Jackson, Eliana slowly began to open her eyes. The once tightly shut lids now blinked against the fluorescent lights above her hospital bed."Mommy?" she whispered weakly.Olivia, who had been sitting loyally by her daughter’s side, immediately leaned in. Tears welled up and spilled freely down her cheeks as she took Eliana’s small hand.“Eliana, you’re awake, sweetheart!” Her voice trembled, thick with emotion.“Mommy, I have to be strong... I don’t want to see you sad anymore,” Eliana murmured, her eyes barely open but full of resolve.That simple statement, so gentle yet powerful, pierced Olivia’s heart. She squeezed her daughter’s hand tightly, as if anchoring her to life.“Thank you, baby… thank you for being strong for Mommy.”Before the warmth of the moment could fully settle, the hallway outside erupted in chaos. Loud footsteps pounded the floor, mingled with panicked voices and desperate sobs.Eliana’s brow furrowed weakly. “Mom… w

    Olivia Grace stared at her phone with trembling hands. She took a deep breath and dialed Daniel’s number. Her voice came out strained, filled with suppressed anger.“Daniel, find out who had the audacity to kidnap Eliana,” she said sharply.“WHAT, Ma’am? Eliana… kidnapped?” Daniel’s voice sounded panicked on the other end.“Yes! And don’t waste my time with questions. I want to know who did it and where they took her. IMMEDIATELY!” Olivia ended the call with a trembling hand. Her tears were on the verge of falling, but she held them back. Not now. She had to stay strong.On the other side of the city, Daniel jumped from his seat, grabbed his jacket and car keys. In less than fifteen minutes, he arrived at the hospital. His breath quickened when he saw Olivia standing in the hallway—her face pale, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.“I’ll find Eliana, Ma’am. I promise,” Daniel said, placing a hand gently on Olivia’s arm, trying to offer a bit of reassurance. But there was no comfort

    Olivia shoved open the door to her house with a forceful push. Her heart was still pounding, overwhelmed by anxiety for Eliana. But her steps came to an abrupt halt when the pungent scent of alcohol hit her—followed by the unmistakable sound of laughter echoing from the living room.With furrowed brows, Olivia quietly stepped toward the source of the noise. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she saw Hunter Jackson, her husband, lounging on the sofa with a whiskey glass in hand. Beside him sat Sophia Joy—his second wife. The two were laughing lightly, as if the world belonged to them.“You?” Olivia whispered, stunned.Hunter turned his head, momentarily surprised, but his lips quickly curled into a smile. “Darling… you're home.”Olivia stepped closer, her voice sharp. “Shouldn’t you be at the hospital? Joe is in critical condition.”Sophia stood up, stomping her foot. “This isn’t your concern! Stay out of our happiness!”“Happiness?” Olivia let out a bitter laugh, her eyes narrowing. “Yo

    Eliana slowly opened her eyes. Her head felt heavy, her vision was blurry, and her entire body was weak. She tried to sit up, but her arms felt powerless. The air was damp and foul. As she glanced around, she realized she was in a small, dark room—the walls were made of rough concrete, and a single dim light hung from the ceiling.“Where... am I?” she whispered weakly.Her hands were tied to a metal chair with strong nylon rope. In the corner of the room, a small camera pointed directly at her face. Not far away, her stuffed bunny lay on the floor, dirty and ragged.Footsteps echoed from outside. Eliana held her breath. The iron door creaked open painfully, and a masked man stepped inside. He was tall, with heavy steps, carrying a tray with a bottle of water and a piece of bread.“Here. Eat. You need energy,” the man said gruffly.“I want to go home…” Eliana murmured, tears rolling down her cheeks. “Please… Mama must be looking for me…”The man said nothing. He placed the tray on the

    The luxury boutique in the heart of the city was quiet, filled only with the scent of expensive perfume and soft classical music playing in the background. But the tranquility shattered in an instant.“What do you mean all my cards were declined?!” Madam Vivian’s voice rang out sharply, echoing through the marble-lined room.The female cashier flinched. “I’m sorry, Madam... we tried all three of your cards. Each transaction was rejected by the bank’s system.”“I’m a VIP customer! I’ve been shopping here for over twenty years! Try again!” she snapped, slamming her diamond-adorned hand on the counter.The cashier hesitated, then ran the card once more. The result was the same.“I’m sorry, Madam.

    “I’m not a weak woman, Jackson! I’ll make you regret this!” Olivia screamed, her voice echoing through the walls of the house.Hunter Jackson stood at the doorway, his face as cold as unmelted snow. His eyes locked on Olivia’s, unblinking, as if measuring how much of her fury he could endure.“Eliana is sick. And you… you didn’t even show up when she needed her father for three nights straight!” Olivia stepped forward, her fists clenched at her sides. “What matters more than your own child’s life, huh?! Wealth? Status? Your pride?!”Hunter opened his mouth to speak, but Olivia cut him off.“Don’t. I don’t need excuses from someone who wasn’t there when I cried alone in a hospital hallway!” Her voice cracked, full of pain and betrayal.Hunter exhaled slowly, trying to remain calm. “I didn’t care that Eliana was in the hospital. You knew that, didn’t you—”“And somehow, that’s my fault?!” Olivia snapped, her eyes blazing. “You didn’t even lift a finger when I was kidnapped while pregnan
