LOGIN“Larisa, watch your words! Remember, we still need Natasya for our future,” Roby whispered, reminding her.“Calm yourself, Larisa. Leave everything to God. Let Him deliver justice if she truly is the culprit,” Camila said wisely.Behind her concerned expression, Camila let out a quiet sigh of relief, her plan had gone smoothly without a hitch.That morning, while everyone was busy handling the funeral arrangements, she had slipped back home and destroyed the CCTV hard drive in the study.She was indeed grieving the loss of Gaby, her granddaughter.But Camila loved herself more.She had no intention of going to prison just because her poison had hit the wrong target.**That night, in the grand house, the atmosphere felt tense and chilling—just like its owner.Natasya sat in the living room, waiting for Roby, who had just returned after escorting Larisa to her room to rest.“Come in,
CHAPTER 36: Tears on the Red Soil“How could I not be afraid? My grandchild is fighting for her life in there, and yet the two of you—his wife and his first love—are still busy tearing each other apart.”“Ex-wife, Camila. I will soon be your son’s ex-wife.”Natasya snorted in annoyance.“That can be discussed later. For now, we should pray together, so Gaby will be okay.”Natasya chose to sit in the waiting chair.Even though she had no real place here, she still wanted to know the child’s condition—the child born from her husband’s affair with Larisa.“Larisa, sit down.”Roby guided his mistress to sit not far from Natasya.The two women locked eyes, the air thick with hostility.“I will never forgive you, Natasya, if my daughter doesn’t survive. Remember that.”Larisa hissed threateningly.Meanwhile, Natasya remained silent, her gaze calm.She turned to Roby.Instantly, Roby released his embrace from Larisa.Natasya only gave a faint, condescending smile.She didn’t care even if Ro
The car driven by Roby sped through the still-empty morning streets. In the backseat, Larisa kept shaking Gaby’s tiny, limp body."Hurry, Roby! Gaby is so cold! She won't open her eyes!" Larisa screamed, her voice hoarse."Be patient, Larisa! I’m already speeding! Try to keep calling her name!" Roby replied, his face pale and drenched in cold sweat.He couldn't let anything terrible happen to his daughter."Gaby, wake up, sweetheart... Don't scare Mommy. Come on, open your eyes!" Larisa’s sobs filled the car's cabin.As soon as they reached the emergency room, Roby ran in carrying Gaby."Help! Someone please save my daughter!"He rushed into the room where several doctors and nurses were on duty."What happened?" asked one of the nurses."She’s been vomiting severely since this morning, but her body suddenly went ice cold. She won't wake up even when we call her," Roby explained.The nurse immediately took Gaby into the treatment room. Roby and Larisa were held back at the door, their
PART 34The Fatal Banquet That Hit the Wrong TargetCamila stood frozen behind the kitchen wall, her heart pounding fast, afraid of being caught.She watched Margareth, who was busy arranging a tray, waiting for the moment when the woman would turn around to take something from the refrigerator.The chance came in a flash. Camila quickly stepped closer and poured all the powder Edgar had given her into the crystal glass that was already filled with water.“Taste this, Natasya. You will sleep forever,” Camila whispered with a victorious smirk.“What are you doing, Mrs. Camila?” Margareth asked suddenly.Camila nearly jumped in shock.“I want to request some warm water. My throat is a little sore.”“What a coincidence. I’m actually preparing warm water for Mrs. Natasya. If you want, I can bring it for you as well.”“That’s not necessary. I’ll get it myself. You just prepare whatever Natasya needs. I don’t want to trouble you.”Camila quickly took what she needed.“I’ve got it, thank you
Larisa finally stepped into the guest house, her face clouded with resentment. As expected, a burst of Roby’s fury immediately greeted her.“You are truly a terrible mother, Larisa! How could you let Gaby cry all day long?”“I left Gaby with Ema! Why did you take her back without saying a word?” Larisa shot back. She barked her response, her face devoid of even a flicker of guilt. “I was annoyed by her crying! Do you think I’m not stressed?”“Have you lost your mind?” Roby stepped closer, his voice low yet sharp. “Natasya forbade us from using Ema’s services. That means you are the one who must focus on taking care of Gaby! You can’t just go out as you please and forget your own daughter!”“Gaby isn’t just my child! I only went to the mall with your mother to blow off some steam. Who would’ve thought it would only make me more stressed!” Larisa continued to grumble as she threw her bag onto the sofa.Roby frowned in confusion. “What happened now?”“That wife of yours... she blocked ou
Natasya’s black Mercedes-Benz came to a halt in front of her palatial residence. She was utterly exhausted today, drained by a relentless succession of client meetings at the office.Scarcely a few steps inside, Natasya was startled by a voice she knew all too well."Mom’s home!"It was the cry of her son, Erik. The young boy came racing from the main entrance to welcome his mother. Natasya drew Erik into a warm embrace. "Hello, sweetheart. Why are you out here? The air is quite cold," she remarked, her heart filled with concern that Erik might fall ill."I was waiting for you, Mom. It’s so noisy inside because Gaby won't stop crying," Erik explained, gesturing toward the living room.Gaby?Natasya’s brow furrowed. Her once gentle features hardened with tension. "Gaby is crying? Why is she here? Should she not be with Larisa or your grandmother? Are Larisa and your grandmothe
PART 10Natasya’s consciousness returned in the most painful way.When she opened her eyes, all she saw was a white ceiling. The sharp smell of antiseptic pierced her nose.This was not her bedroom.“W—where am I?” Her voice was hoarse, barely audible.Someone gasped. The face of a middle-aged woma
PART 7“A condition? What condition?” Roby asked in confusion.Suddenly, he felt uneasy.Natasya took a slow breath. She looked at Roby and Larisa, who both seemed tense.Then she spoke firmly,“If Larisa and Gaby want to stay here, they will not stay in the main house.”Roby immediately frowned.“
PART 8“Please follow me.”Mr. Danil looked at Roby, Larisa, and Camila.Larisa was struggling to carry her daughter, Gaby.There had always been a nanny to take care of the baby. This was the first time Larisa truly felt how heavy her child was.“I already know where it is,” Roby said as he walked
