LOGINA shadow that never leaves its owner's side, Dawn Clinton has been living with her family as the shadow of their daughter who has been missing for ten years. Six years ago, she was married to the richest man in the city as a replacement for her sister. Although her husband didn't accept her fully, she thought she had a good marriage and a good life. Within six years, they had a three year old boy and she was pregnant for the second time. The day she found out, she was pregnant for second time, she found out her first son was missing. She was in panic and try to reach out to her husband, but she failed. He was unreachable. When she was busy searching for her son, her husband returned home with her sister who has been lying about her missing for ten years. To take the Matter to the worst, her adoptive sister blamed her for her son's death and accused her of killing her son. Dawn realized soon after that her sister and the Nanny killed her son and flamed her. And unsurprisingly, her husband trusted her sister instead of her, accusing her of adultery and killing her son. To add things worse, her sister pushed her to have a miscarriage, leading her to death and a second chance to fix everything. Will she take revenge or escape from her husband who watched her dying to avoid her son's death?
View MoreFive years later, Life has settled into its own rhythm. All the troubles they have gone through have finally been handled off without any problems. Tiara graduated from the same university, dropping out of the program to stay with her family. The relationship with Danny has been solid since day one. Although she felt a bit awkward. After all, she only knew how to love one-sidedly. So when Danny's attention started coming like a downpour, she couldn't handle it at first. Thankfully, she consulted the only person she trusted more. Dawn. Also, to make sure the relationship rules that the Ericsons strictly follow are respected, Tiara has started joining Travis's company as an intern. This way nobody can point out that she is dating without having any career. In the meantime, Tiara, being the kindest girl, decided not to go through legal punishment for David and her friends. She later learned that David had been stalking her for a long time. But she didn't give that much attention sinc
It feels like life has decided not to slow down for them at all, as if the house itself has been strapped into another violent turn of a rollercoaster it never agreed to ride. The days that follow are heavy, thick with unspoken fear and exhaustion. Dawn barely sleeps. Every sound makes her flinch. She checks on Asher far more than necessary, sometimes standing by his crib long after he has fallen asleep, her hand hovering over his chest just to make sure he is breathing. Travis never comments on it. He simply stays close, a silent wall at her back, his presence steady and unwavering. Jim becomes a ghost in his own home. He answers when spoken to, nods when required, but otherwise retreats into himself. The guilt sits on him like a physical weight, dragging his shoulders down, hollowing out his eyes. No one presses him. There is nothing left to say that would undo what has already happened. Mrs Ericson responds the only way she knows how. She tightens everything. Security is double
The alarm does not go off immediately.That is what makes it worse.The estate is large, layered with corridors and soundproofed rooms meant for privacy and calm. For several minutes after Kayla disappears, there is only controlled movement, security checking exits, staff answering clipped questions, radios murmuring low updates. Everyone assumes she is trying to flee the property.No one imagines she would move deeper inside.Travis and Dawn send a message to the nanny who informs her that she is with Asher. Not to worry about it. Feeling relieved, both of them join to alert Tiara and Danny. In the meantime, The nanny hums softly as she walks back and forth, Asher cradled against her shoulder. He is half-asleep, tiny fingers curled into the fabric of her uniform, breathing slow and even. He woke up earlier when the alert rang. Now she is doing her best to put him in sleep.She has no idea anything is wrong. She has already locked the door. But she doesn't know that Kayla has alrea
After sending Kayla to the medical room despite her protests, Jim walks out of the room. His steps are slow, uneven, as if the weight of everything that just happened has finally settled on his shoulders. The door clicks shut behind him, muffling Kayla’s distant voice, and the sound makes him flinch. Mrs Ericson stands a few steps away, her posture rigid, her expression cold enough to chill the air around her. Her lips are pressed into a thin line, eyes sharp and unforgiving. Travis and Dawn stand nearby, side by side, both quiet, both alert. Dawn’s fingers are still curled slightly, as if she hasn’t fully relaxed since the knife incident, while Travis’s stance remains protective, shoulders squared. “All of you, come with me,” Mrs Ericson says, turning on her heel without waiting for a response. She heads toward the spa room, pushing the door open with decisive force. The soft lighting inside contrasts sharply with the tension following them in. The employees who are cleaning the a
The meeting room is filled with muted voices and the low hum of the projector. Travis sits at the head of the long table, his posture straight, his attention divided between the figures on the screen and the faint vibration of his phone against the polished wood. It buzzes once. He glances down bri
Just a few minutes after Mrs. Ericson leaves, Kayla walks out of the elevator with a wide, overly sweet smile. Anyone can tell how much she has rehearsed it. The smile sits too carefully on her lips, stretched, deliberate. Her eyes lock onto the nameplate.“Travis and Dawn.”Just that. And her smil

Steam from the hot shower lingers in the air, filling the bathroom with a warm haze. Jim’s hands rub the towel across his face as he steps out, water droplets clinging to the ends of his hair. The apartment is quiet except for the soft rustle of sheets from the bedroom. His eyes narrow slightly as
