A boat waited at the dock. My steps slowed when I saw the name carved into its side.

ALEXANDER.

I glanced at him. “You named your boat after yourself?”

He caught my amused look and laughed aloud.

“No, I didn't.” He walked closer to the boat, running his fingers along the surface. “My father bought it for me.”

I looked at him in surprise. “He did?”

Alex nodded. “He knew how much I loved the ocean. When I was younger, I was always talking

    My hands kept moving as I folded his shirts, trousers, underwear, toys, books, and a few of his favorite things. “Where exactly are you going?” “I don't know yet.” I glanced at Orson and sighed. “I just know I can't stay here.” James eyed my packing with an expression that suggested he hadn't imagined everything rushing ahead so quickly. “Jackie, you don't even have somewhere booked.” “I'll figure it out.” I shocked myself with how sure I sounded—and I terrified him, considering he’d never witnessed this anxious, guarded version of me. I zipped the bag closed and faced him. “I have to make sure he's safe first. Everything else can come later.” James looked toward Orson, then back at me. “Jackie, let me help you.” I shook my head. “No, James. You've already done more than enough for me.” Jame didn't argue, but the concern in his eyes told me he wasn't going to let the matter rest. “Come here, sunshine.” Orson left his food and came closer, looking up at me with those trusti

    James set the food down before crouching in front of Orson and handing him one of the packs.I glanced at Orson, who was happily eating the food James had brought. He had abandoned the sandwich I made for him the moment James opened the containers, choosing a plate of fried rice with grilled chicken, spring rolls, and a small portion of his restaurant’s signature barbecue wings instead.“I brought enough for both of you,” James said when he caught me watching. Orson nodded enthusiastically while reaching for another spring roll. “He likes it,” he said.“He clearly does.” A small smile tugged at my lips before I looked back at him. “Thank you, James.”“Thank you, James,” Orson said after me with his mouth full. He was the biggest foodie in the world.“You're welcome, little man,” he replied, grinning.They did a familiar funny handshake. Then James ruffled his hair just like a father would do to his son. However, he wasn't Orson’s father. And he could never be. I watched them for a m

    I squeezed my eyes shut and heaved a deep breath before I reached for the light switch.The room came alive, revealing the clothes scattered across my bed.My stomach twisted as memories of that night came rushing back so quickly that I had to grip the doorframe.I recalled leaving this apartment convinced I could handle whatever came next. I shivered when I thought back to the fear, the humiliation, the helplessness, and everything I had endured before Alex appeared.Coming back here made the memories feel frighteningly close again.I looked away, refusing to let it consume me again.Orson was still beside me, quietly taking in the room, and I forced myself to breathe. I couldn't afford to fall apart in front of him.My thoughts returned to James. He had helped me more times than I cared to remember. Whenever money became tight or Orson needed something I couldn't afford, he had been the person I could turn to, and he never made me feel ashamed for asking, even when I knew I was al

    Orson walked beside me, his small fingers wrapped around mine while his eyes kept drifting back toward the estate. I knew he wasn’t expecting us to leave so suddenly. I knew he already liked Alex. My heart felt heavier with guilt towards my boy. He didn't deserve to live in the slums with me. His father was Alexander Stone and he should be living in a big house where the staff would address him as the “young master.” Would he ever understand my decision? Or would he hate me for keeping his wealthy father from him? “Mommy, are we going home?” “Yes, baby,” I said, wiping the tears from my cheeks before he could see how badly I was struggling. “We're going home.” Before this place, home had never meant a single address. Staying anywhere too long felt dangerous. Every familiar face became a possible threat, every unexpected question made me wonder if someone had discovered that the woman they believed was dead had been living among them. I couldn't afford to become comfortable. I

    Alex grasped my hand again, this time with determination. “You’re coming with me. No arguments.” “Alex, let go of me.” He dismissed my protest and yanked me out of the room. “Alex!” The sound of rapid footsteps echoed in the hallway before we could make our exit. Orson appeared in the doorway. “Mommy?” He gasped when he spotted the tears lingering on my cheeks. “Did Alex make you cry?” My heart ached, but I steeled myself. I firmly pulled my hand away from Alex’s grip and positioned my son behind me. I stood resolutely between him and his father, determined to protect him. “No, sunshine.” He glanced toward Alex, I could see the lingering doubt, and it nearly destroyed the little strength I had left. I turned toward Alexander and muttered. “Go.” His dark eyes narrowed. “Nadia—” “Go ahead if you want to hear what he has to say. As for me, I'm not meeting him, and I’m getting my son out of here.” Alex looked at me, surprised. “You're leaving?” “Yes,” I replied firmly. “I r

    “You can't keep me here.” I rasped. “I told you the truth about Orson. I told you there was no other man. What else do you want from me?”“The reason.” He spat, a dangerous chill entered his tone as he continued. “I want to know the reason you did all of this. What forced you to take such drastic measures? Who made you betray me, fake your death, and hide my son's existence?”I stared at him and forgot to breathe. Alex wasn't asking about another man anymore. He was digging into the one grave I had spent seven years trying to keep buried. My face turned into an unnatural blankness. “There was nobody,” I repeated, forcing the lie past my lips with practiced calm. Keeping him in the dark was a dangerous game, but it was the sole way to ensure my boy’s safety and my own survival for the time being.“You expect me to believe you disappeared from my life, let me believe you chose another man, and there was nobody?”“There wasn't.”His hardened gaze searched my face, almost desperately n
