LANA

I realized that Maximum wasn’t wrong to suspect Annabella; every fact seemed to point toward her having a hidden agenda and secret plans.

That night, I lay awake, pondering what I should do next. The next morning, we woke up and prepared for the day. I got ready for school, and after sharing a quick kiss, we headed out.

Maximum promised, “Babe, I’m going to drive you to school.”

Hearing that made me feel a surge of excitement. My husband had been so busy the past few weeks that our bond had suffered, and he hadn’t driven me to campus in a while. I was both thrilled and looking forward to it.

We descended the staircase together.

At the dining table, Annabella and her son were already waiting.

When Charles saw Maximum, he immediately sprang to his feet, running over and shouting, “Good morning, Daddy!”

Maximum scooped him up from the ground and, with a serious tone, instructed, “Greet my wife too.”

Charles pursed his lips — I expected him to stubbornly refuse, but to my surprise, h

    LANAI had been thinking about it too, and I found myself somewhat agreeing—separating Charles from his mother would only cause him more harm.After washing up and changing, we descended for dinner. The atmosphere in the dining room was tense; no one spoke, and it seemed as though no one was willing to break the heavy silence.Once dinner was over, we moved to the sitting room and sat in front of the screen. My thoughts wandered elsewhere, lost in deep reflection. Suddenly, Charles stood up abruptly and knelt before Maximum.He cupped his hands together and pleaded emotionally, “Please, Dad, don’t send me away. I promise I’ll be good, I’ll be obedient and respectful. I’ll never cause trouble. Please don’t send me away.”Seeing tears streaming down his face, along with snot, my heart ached. I couldn’t hold back the tears in my own eyes.“Who told you you’d be sent away?” Maximum asked suddenly.I turned to look at Annabella, my heart pounding at the thought that a mother might use her

    MAXIMUMWhen I first heard the news, I was furious. But after a moment of reflection, I realized there was no real reason to be angry with my wife for trying to confirm the truth. If she hadn’t done so, I might have thought she didn’t love me at all.A faint smile curled my lips.Then I gave the order, my voice firm: “Make sure no one tampers with the results.”I knew my father-in-law too well. He might see this as an opportunity to sow discord between me and Annabella. I had to be cautious.Lost in thought, I pondered what to do with Annabella and Charles. After a few days, especially once Lana received the DNA results, I decided to send them away.I clocked out early from work and headed home. As I entered, I saw Annabella already there — I was sure Charles had returned from school too.“Welcome home, Max,” Annabella greeted me with a warm smile.I looked at her steadily. “Come with me,” I commanded.I led her to my study and seated her gently. Once she was settled, she said, “Charl

    LANAMy dad didn’t insist I stay either. Instead, he got to his feet, looked at me, and said softly, “Let me walk you out.”He didn’t say another word about Annabella or her son. Instead, he simply embraced me and added, “Come home more often.”“Thank you, Daddy,” I replied, feeling a warmth spread through me.We broke the hug, and I stepped into the car. As we drove away, I couldn’t shake the thoughts swirling in my mind. His words echoed in my head, and I felt a strange pressure—restless, almost overwhelmed. Somehow, what he said made sense, even if I didn’t want to admit it.By the time the car pulled up to my house, dusk had fallen. From inside, I saw Charles running around, laughing happily, Maximus chasing after him.Watching them, I couldn’t help but think—perhaps they really are like father and son. The resemblance struck me suddenly, and I wondered if I was overthinking.Quietly, I entered the house without disturbing them. After a quick shower and changing clothes, I heard a

    LANAAt that moment, I felt panic creeping in for the first time. I was still trying to gather my thoughts, wondering what to say to her, when suddenly I heard Charles’s voice from downstairs.“Mommy, come and join us! Let’s play together,” he called.Annabella looked at me and smiled softly before walking away. A few minutes later, she joined Charles and the others, leaving me feeling like an outsider.Maximum must have noticed my unease. He glanced toward me from the balcony, and I waved at him with a small smile.He then turned away from the mother and son, but Charles called out again, “Dad, where are you going? Aren’t you going to play with us?”Maximum responded gently, “It’s late. Time to rest and get ready for school tomorrow.”He returned inside, and I left the balcony, entering our bedroom. My mind was suddenly filled with thoughts of having a child.“Do you want a child?” I blurted out suddenly to Maximum.He looked at me in surprise, caught off guard by the question, just

    LANAThe sitting-room fell into an eerie silence, thick with unspoken tension. I could feel the weight of it pressing down on us all.Maximum looked at Charles with cold, unforgiving eyes, his voice deep and low as he commanded, “Apologize to my wife.”In that moment, I felt a warm surge of emotion — I realized just how dear I was to Maximum.Charles retorted, “No, Dad. Why can't you marry Mommy? Is it because she's prettier than Mommy? Why? Why?”I wasn't sure whether to feel pleased or upset by the little boy’s words. I avoided Annabella’s gaze, not wanting to see her facial reaction after her son had just admitted someone was prettier than her.Maximum’s voice remained calm but firm. “Apologize to my wife,” he repeated.Seeing how serious Maximum was, Charles burst into tears.Maximum remained impassive, his expression unreadable. “Annabella, both of you will return to England before dawn tomorrow. I don’t want to wake up and see you both in my house,” he said, his tone cold and de
