Lily’s words kept echoing.

“I don’t know.”

Those three words… destroyed more than anything else.

Everything he had done. Everything he had sacrificed.

The choices.

The price.

The hell he had chosen for himself.

And now—none of it was certain.

Dante let out a quiet laugh.

But there was no emotion in it.

Hollow.

“You don’t know…?” he repeated softly.

Lily didn’t answer. She only cried, her body trembling.

And that… was exactly what made something inside Dante snap.

“You don’t know?” his voice ros

    Aurora stared at her husband for several seconds.Then she laughed.Actually laughed.Not because she thought the question was funny.But because, in her opinion, Darius was letting his imagination run far too wild."You're crazy.""Why? There's nothing unreasonable about it.""Yes, there is."Darius lifted the examination report."I'm serious."Aurora shook her head."The baby isn't even the size of a pea yet.""That's not the point.""Then what is?"Darius pointed to a small note at the bottom of the report.Aurora took the paper.She read it once.Then read it again.The medical terminology wasn't particularly clear to a non-professional.But one line made her stop.Possible additional gestational sac. Follow-up evaluation recommended.Aurora looked up.Then looked at Darius.Then back at the paper.Suddenly, she didn't know what to say.Because until now, she had only considered one possibility.One baby.One child.Just like when she was pregnant with Hazel.Not two.And certainl

    Darius didn't wait any longer. He immediately opened the bathroom door.Aurora was standing by the sink, still holding the pregnancy test in her hand. And she looked far more confused than panicked.Darius stared at the small device.Then frowned.Then looked again."I'm not seeing things, am I?"Aurora slowly shook her head."I don't think so."Darius took a step closer.Two red lines were clearly visible.Not faint.Not ambiguous.Not leaving room for any other interpretation.Aurora was pregnant.Several seconds passed in silence.Then Darius covered his face with both hands.Aurora immediately sighed."What's wrong with you?""I'm trying to behave like a mature adult.""It doesn't look like it's working."Darius laughed.Actually laughed.Aurora had never seen him look this happy over two tiny lines."You're really happy.""Of course I am."Aurora looked down at the test again.It still felt a little unreal.After everything they had been through.After all these years.Life had s

    The night breeze still drifted gently across the lake.But Aurora's attention was no longer on the view before her.She looked at her husband.Then frowned."I'm just stressed.""That's the excuse everyone uses."Aurora raised an eyebrow."You sound like a doctor.""I'm more handsome than a doctor."Aurora immediately rolled her eyes."You're incredibly confident.""Because I'm right."Normally, Aurora would have fired back immediately.But this time, she fell silent.Because when she thought about it, Darius wasn't entirely wrong.Aurora tried to remember.Her schedule.Business meetings.Their trip.And the date that had already passed.Slowly, she began counting in her head.Then stopped.Because she didn't like the result of that calculation.Darius noticed the change in his wife's expression."You just realized?"Aurora immediately shook her head."It doesn't mean anything.""Hm.""I'm serious.""Hm."Aurora promptly pinched his arm.Darius laughed."Alright, alright.""I'm just

    That night, they returned home later than usual.Hazel was already asleep when they arrived.The little girl was hugging one of her favorite dolls, sleeping in a position that always left Aurora baffled."How can someone possibly sleep like that?" Aurora muttered.Darius stood beside her."I ask myself the same question all the time."Aurora pulled the blanket up over her daughter's body.Then the two of them quietly left the room.There was no discussion about Aaron.No discussion about the police.No discussion about the past.They had spent far too long living inside all of that.Aurora hadn't even realized how exhausted she was until that night.When she finally sat down on the living room sofa, she immediately rested her head against Darius's shoulder.He glanced down at her."Did you fall asleep?""Not yet.""Are you sure?""I'm thinking.""That's even more dangerous."Aurora let out a soft laugh.Darius smiled.It had been a long time since they'd had a night like this.A night

    "Because you're speaking from assumptions, not evidence."Aaron immediately lifted his chin."I have a witness.""A witness who saw me meeting Lily.""Yes.""That's not a crime."Aaron clenched his cuffed hands."You were the last person to see her alive."Peter nodded."That's true.""And a few hours later, Lily was dead."Aaron turned directly to the detective standing by the door."You heard that, didn't you?"The detective didn't react.Because an admission like that meant nothing without evidence to support it.Peter remained calm."And what's your conclusion?"Aaron laughed bitterly."You killed her."Peter slowly shook his head."If I had killed Lily, you would have found something during the last two months."Aaron didn't answer.Because that was exactly the problem.He hadn't found anything.No witness had seen Peter attack Lily.No recordings.No reports.No evidence.No forensic proof.Nothing.The only thing Aaron had was anger.And anger was not evidence.Darius watched e

    Peter's words froze the entire room.Aurora immediately stood up."Where's Hazel?""She's safe," Peter answered quickly. "My men have already checked the entire area."Darius grabbed his jacket."We're leaving now."But suddenly, his phone rang.An unknown number.Darius answered immediately."Aaron?"The voice that responded wasn't Aaron's.It was a police officer."Mr. Harrington?"Darius frowned."Yes.""We need to speak with you. It's about Aaron."Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the police station.Aurora still didn't understand what was happening.Even Peter looked confused.Because if Aaron had really been near Hazel's school, he should have been running.Not dealing with the police.A detective escorted them to an interrogation room.Then opened the door.Aurora froze instantly.Aaron was sitting inside.Alone.His hands were cuffed.Yet his face looked far calmer than it had before.Darius frowned immediately."What are you doing?"Aaron gave a faint smile."I turned my

    Dante's gaze remained fixed on Hazel.The little girl was sitting on the porch.Every now and then, she would pick up a colorful crayon before returning to her drawing with complete concentration.Completely unaware that the lives of the adults around her were changing.Dante smiled faintly."Kind

    Aurora was still holding the drawing Hazel's teacher had given her as their car pulled into the driveway.Her mind hadn't fully settled.Because that simple drawing had proven one thing.Dante had already become part of Hazel's world.Even if only through gifts.Even if only through a name.Even if

    Hazel's question hung in the air."...why has he never come to see me?"Aurora and Darius exchanged a glance.They had always known this conversation would happen.They just never knew when.And it turned out there was no way to truly prepare for it.Hazel was still waiting.Her small eyes moved fr

    Hazel's question seemed to make time slow down.Aurora looked at her daughter for several seconds.Meanwhile, Darius stood beside her, still holding the small card attached to the new bicycle."Why does that person always send me presents?"Hazel repeated her question.There was no suspicion in her
