“What? Can we save Annika?” Aria was shocked to hear this. She had lost all hope, especially after her baby’s death.

“Hope’s stem cells can make Annika’s treatment possible,” Theodore said. “The doctor said there are 80 percent chances that it might work.”

As soon as he said this, Aria’s face lit up like a bulb. She thought she would lose Annika too but Theodore’s words gave her hope.

“Really?” Aria asked. Theodore hugged her tightly.

“Yes, in just a few days, Annika will be able to walk and play like normal kids,” he said.

Hearing Theodore’s words, Aria’s hopes were rekindled. She was overjoyed.

“I’ll tell the doctors to start the process today,” Theodore said. Aria nodded.

She was relieved that God might send Darla's baby in their life for a purpose.

She never hated the baby because he was born from Darla. The child was innocent no matter how cruel his mother was. The child half belonged to Theodore.

Here Darla was frustrated because the baby cried too much. She even disgust to ho

    “What is this? What’s happening here?” Theodore shouted at Darla harshly enough that could shatter the glass behind them. She was startled but decided to stick to her plan.“Theo… Aria poisoned Hope!” She brought the fake tears to her eyes and said.Theodore froze. He thought he heard something wrong. He stared at Aria with a questioned face.Aria shook her head vigorously. “No, Theo… I didn’t do it! This is a lie. She’s framing me!”Her voice was heavy with emotion. Even in her wildest dreams, Aria could never imagine harming Hope.“Have you gone mad? How can you say such a thing?” Theodore snapped at Darla.

    “The operation is successful,” the doctor said, and a broad smile spread across both Aria and Theodore’s faces. Aria exchanged a glance with Theodore. It was the happiest moment of her life. Aria thanked the god who gave another chance to her daughter. “The children are safe. You can see them after a short while but…” The doctor said and their smiles dropped again.“But what?” Aria asked the doctor. “Annika’s bones became very weak and she would have trouble walking. She could walk late. One year later, two years of probably never.” The doctor left, and Theodore grabbed Aria’s shoulder who was just a little upset after hearing what the doctor said.“I would turn the mountain upside down for my daughter. Don’t worry about it.” He said.Aria smiled and nodded.“Yes Theo.” She said, “She is out of danger and that’s what meant a lot to us.” She said and hugged him. Unbeknownst to them, someone was watching from behind, ready to destroy their world.And strangely, it wasn’t Darla. An

    “What are you saying? How is this possible? The chargesheet is filed. The testimony is done. I can give you money that would be of your help,” Aria said, but Darla wasn’t swayed. She was stubborn.“That money is just paper to me within these four walls. Take me out and bring me back to the mansion. If you want to save your daughter’s life, you have to do this,” Darla demanded.Aria had no other choice.She could never trust Darla again. But it’s true that her daughter’s life was in Darla’s hands. If she couldn’t get the papers signed, the process would be delayed.“Alright,” Aria said. She was helpless. She could have called Theodore but she knew one thing, he would never be ready for this. Even though she wanted Darla to rot in jail, but not at the cost of her daughter’s life. “I’m taking you out.”Darla smirked.Aria walked out and approached the officers, informing them she wanted to withdraw all accusations, including the assault by Darla outside the hospital.The officers hesitat

    “Boss, Darla isn’t confessing to her crimes,” the secretary informed Theodore.“I knew she wouldn’t. That’s why I kept these recordings,” Theodore said.Aria handed Theodore the recorded conversations with Darla as evidence. When Aria had arrived, she had recorded all her interactions with Darla.Some of those recordings even included Darla threatening to kill her.“Is this enough?” Aria asked.Theodore listened to the recordings and nodded.“Yes, these will work as evidence against her. This will strengthen our case, and we can ensure she gets the harshest punishment,” Theodore said.He handed the recordings to his secretary.“Give these to the police officer.”Aria began feeding Hope, who was in her arms, while Annika sat beside her.Theodore felt immense joy watching this scene. His family felt complete. Aria had almost forgotten the pain of her child’s death.“Aria… the doctors’ reports are in,” Theodore said, looking at his phone. “Hope’s cells match Annika’s. He can donate his s

    “Shut your mouth, Sebastian,” Aria shot back, her voice slicing through the party chatter like broken glass. “We all know what your precious daughter did to claw her way here. She trapped Theodore. She drugged him.”Gasps rippled across the room. Sebastian was embarrassed when people talked about it. Aria was exposing them in front of everyone.“What?!” Sebastian’s face went crimson. He lunged forward, his meaty hand clamping around Aria’s arm so tightly she bit back a cry. “You think you can say that about my daughter? This is her seat—” He yanked her up, tossed her up aside.Aria’s shoulder smacked into a broad, unyielding chest. She blinked up, startled, meeting the sharp, cold gaze of a man who looked like he could command armies. His brows drew together the moment he saw Sebastian’s grip marks on her arm.“I—I’m sorry…” she stammered, stepping back.“Mr. Kingston,” Sebastian’s voice cracked. Even he seemed rattled by the man’s presence.Kingston slid his hands into his pockets, h

    Aria was sitting in a corner of the room, breastfeeding Hope. She was humming a song and whispering something in his ears. Theodore’s heart stopped. This scene was one of the most beautiful moments in Theodore’s life.Hope was happily playing in Aria’s arms, as if he had grown accustomed to her embrace.Even if Theodore gave away all his wealth, he would never trade these moments. Aria looked like a goddess, how amazingly she handled Hope. There was no stress, no lines on her face. Just pure joy. A mild smile even if it's midnight. The whole world was sleeping but they both embraced each other as if they were two inseparable things. He stood there for a while, not calling out to Aria. He didn’t want to startle or embarrass her. He might have stolen her moment. So he just stood and watched her endlessly.His eyes fell at Darla, who didn’t care about Hope at all. Theodore’s piercing gaze couldn’t hide Darla’s irritation, which was evident today. Even Hope was so uncomfortable with
