Elena’s POV

The house was cold. It was a massive mansion owned by Adrian Visser, filled with marble floors and expensive statues, but it felt like a graveyard. After the long, terrifying flight and the bumpy car ride, we were finally inside.

Leo was exhausted. His small face was tear-stained, and his breathing was heavy. I sat on the edge of the large, fancy bed in the room they gave him. I stroked his hair, humming a soft tune I had sung to him since he was a baby in our quiet coastal home.

    Julian’s POVThe air in the hospital room was thick. Elena and I were standing on opposite sides of a canyon made of anger and hurt. I wanted to reach out and grab her, to demand she never leave again, but her words about me being choking and "overprotective" were still ringing in my ears."You don't understand, Elena," I hissed, my voice low so the guards outside wouldn't hear. "I am the only thing standing between you and men who want to ruin you.""And who is standing between me and you, Julian?" she countered, her eyes flashing.Before I could answer, the heavy wooden door creaked open. A small, sleepy figure stood there, rubbing his eyes with his fists. Leo looked tiny against the vastness of the hospital hallway."Mama?" Leo’s voice was thick with sleep. "I'm sleepy. Can we go to our bed now? The lights here are too loud."The fire in Elena’s eyes died down instantly, replaced by that soft, maternal glow that made my chest ache. She knelt down and opened her arms. Leo stumbled i

    Julian’s POVThe hospital hallway was too bright. It felt like the white lights were burning into my skull. My heart was thumping against my ribs, a wild animal trying to break free. In my arms, Elena was trembling. She was still barefoot, her feet cleaned and bandaged by my private medic in the car, but she looked like she might shatter if I let go.We reached Room 402. Two of my best security guards stood outside the door like stone pillars. They bowed their heads as I approached."My mother?" I asked, my voice sounding like it was coming from deep underwater."Inside with the boy, sir," the guard replied.I pushed the door open. The room was quiet, save for the soft hum of a heart monitor and the rustle of a page being turned. My mother, Lady Catherine, was sitting in a chair by the bed. And there, propped up against the pillows, was the boy.I stopped in my tracks. The world around me simply ceased to exist. He was small. So much smaller than I had imagined. He was wearing overs

    THE GARDEN Adrian Visser stood by the stone altar, his face a mask of cold, white-hot rage. He looked down at the unsigned wedding papers. The ink on Mark’s signature was dry, but the line for Elena Montgomery was empty. Without that signature, Mark Montgomery was nothing. He was just a fugitive with no legal standing, no family claim, and no protection."You absolute fool," Adrian hissed, his voice like the rattle of a snake.Mark was pacing nearby, his suit jacket torn, his hair a mess. He looked like a man who had been dragged through a hedge, which wasn't far from the truth. "I’ll find her, Adrian. I’ll find the car. She can’t drive that SUV forever. It has a tracker!""The tracker was disabled three minutes ago, Mark," Adrian said, turning his head slowly to look at him. "She isn't as stupid as you are. She learned a few things while she was hiding from the world."Adrian looked at his guards. They were standing like statues, terrified of the look in his eyes. He thought about

    Elena’s POVThe air in the garden turned ice-cold the moment the guard shouted that Leo was gone. My heart didn't just skip a beat; it felt like it stopped entirely. I looked at the empty black SUV, then back at the sea of guards. My son, my little boy, was out there somewhere in a city he didn't know, surrounded by people who wanted to hurt us."Leo!" I screamed, my voice tearing through the quiet of the garden. I tried to run toward the gate, but a heavy hand clamped down on my shoulder."Stay put, Elena!" Mark hissed. His face was twisted with a mix of panic and fury. He wasn't worried about Leo’s safety; he was worried about his plan falling apart.Adrian stepped forward, his eyes like flint. He looked at the guards with pure murder in his gaze. "You idiots! How do you lose a four-year-old child in a fenced garden? Find him! Now!"The lackeys scattered, shouting into their radios. The priest stood by the altar, looking like he wanted to melt into the stone. The ceremony was a wre

    Elena’s POVThe house was a hive of activity that morning. Men in black suits were moving everywhere, checking radios and looking at the gates. I held Leo’s hand so tight my knuckles turned white. He was unusually quiet, clutching his teddy bear and staring at the floor. I could feel his small heart racing through his palm. Every time a guard walked past, I pulled him closer to my side. I didn't trust these people, and I didn't trust the look in Mark’s eyes as he straightened his tie in the hallway mirror."Time to go," Mark announced, his voice booming with a confidence I hadn't heard in years. He looked at me, his eyes roaming over my dress. "You look perfect, Elena. Like a Montgomery again."I didn't answer. I just kept my eyes on Leo. We were led outside to a line of black SUVs. As we drove toward the venue, I looked out the window, memorizing the turns. I was looking for a way out, but the number of guards following us made my stomach turn. When we finally arrived at the small

    Elena’s POVThe morning light felt like a sharp slap against my face. I hadn't slept more than two hours, my mind spinning with escape plans that all ended in dead ends. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Mark’s desperate, hungry expression. I felt a small, persistent tugging on my arm and a soft voice whispering in my ear, pulling me back to the cold reality of Adrian Visser’s mansion."Mama? Mama, please wake up. My tummy hurts because it’s empty."I forced my eyes open. Leo was sitting right next to my pillow, his dark hair sticking up in every direction. He looked so small and pale in the giant, expensive guest bed."Good morning, my love," I whispered, my voice thick with sleep. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the exhaustion. "Why didn't you go downstairs, Leo? I’m sure the kitchen is full of good food. The chefs here probably make the best pancakes in the world."Leo shook his head hard, his bottom lip trembling. He clutched his old teddy bear to his chest as i
