Se connecterThe black folder remained open on the desk.Peter Walker sat in silence for a few moments before finally taking out the last sheet inside.A will.The paper was old. Its corners had begun to yellow with age. But the contents were still perfectly clear.Peter reread every line the late Mr. Blackwood had written years ago.Sentence after sentence.Decision after decision.And one section no one had ever known about.He closed his eyes briefly.Then placed the will back on the desk.“I’ve kept this hidden for too long,” he murmured quietly.One of his men stood nearby.“Are you going to tell her?”Peter looked up.“Not yet.”“If Darius keeps investigating—”“I know.”Peter slowly rose to his feet and walked toward the large window in his study.The city lights glowed in the distance.“That boy is too much like his father,” Peter said quietly. “The more you try to stop him, the deeper he digs.”His subordinate remained silent.At Aurora’s house, the night was calmer than it had been in da
The visitation room door closed after Peter Walker left.His footsteps slowly faded down the prison corridor.But Dante remained seated.Motionless.His thoughts were no longer on the test results.Nor on Aurora.But on Peter’s final words.Lily isn’t the most dangerous person in this game.Dante slowly rubbed his face.The longer he thought about it, the clearer it became that everything that had happened wasn’t just some cheap affair or emotional manipulation.There was something bigger behind it all.And strangely—Peter seemed to know far more than he was willing to show.Dante lifted his head when a guard called him back to his cell.His steps were slower than usual.Hazel was his daughter.That truth was finally undeniable.But instead of ending everything, it only opened the door to more questions.If Hazel really is my daughter… then how did all of this get pushed this far? And who actually benefited from it?At Aurora’s house, the afternoon passed more quietly.Hazel was asle
Dante stood still for several seconds.The hope that had risen moments ago slowly faded again.“If it’s not Aurora… then who is it?” he asked quietly.The guard didn’t answer.“See for yourself.”Dante finally followed the man toward another visitation room.Not the usual room crowded with prisoners’ families.This one was smaller. More private.And when the door opened—Dante stopped in his tracks.Peter Walker was sitting there.The man looked as calm as ever. Dark suit. Perfect posture. As if this wasn’t a prison, but an ordinary business meeting room.Dante stared at him for a few seconds.“I didn’t expect my visitor to be an old man like you,” Dante said coldly.Peter wasn’t offended.“I also didn’t expect your life to end up in a place like this.”Dante sat down across from him. “What do you want?”Peter leaned back slightly.“I just wanted to see how you were doing.”Dante let out a short laugh. “And what do you think?”“Calmer,” Peter replied. “But not any smarter.”Dante’s ex
The days after the betrayal was exposed passed more quietly.At least on the surface.Aurora’s house slowly returned to its routine.Hazel had become more active. The baby’s cries were now more often replaced by soft laughter that filled the house.And without being asked—Darius Harrington kept coming.He no longer brought up the DNA test results. Nor did he pressure Aurora into discussing their relationship.Darius simply… stayed.Sometimes he brought small toys for Hazel.Sometimes he came just to make sure the house security was intact.And more often than not, he simply sat quietly in the living room holding the baby as though nothing had ever changed.Aurora noticed it.At first, she tried to keep her distance.But as the days passed, it became harder to do.Because Darius never truly demanded anything.That morning, Aurora came downstairs carrying several company documents.Her steps stopped when she saw Hazel asleep against Darius’s chest.He sat on the sofa reading a business
That morning, Aurora’s house felt quieter than usual.Not the kind of quiet that brought comfort.But the kind that came after a massive storm had passed, leaving wreckage behind that still hadn’t been cleared away.Aurora stood in front of the study window.The report files about her assistant were still spread across the desk. The police had arrived early that morning. Everything had been handed over. CCTV footage. The sample delivery route. Even the hidden communications recovered from the man’s devices.And the more everything was uncovered—the more Aurora realized the betrayal had been going on for a long time.“He switched the sample when the vehicle stopped at a red light,” one of the officers explained. “We found footage from a street camera.”Aurora didn’t answer.“And we also discovered transfers to several different accounts,” the man continued. “Including ones under Lily’s name.”That name surfaced again.But this time, it no longer shook Aurora the way it once had.She w
The question hung in the air.No one answered immediately.Aurora stood tall, her gaze fixed on the man in front of her.“We’re not hiding anyone,” she said flatly.The assistant narrowed his eyes. “Don’t lie.”“That’s not a lie,” Aurora replied. “I don’t even care where that woman is right now.”Darius Harrington glanced at Aurora before looking back at the man.“You’ve lost control,” he said shortly. “And now you’re demanding answers from people who owe you nothing.”The assistant let out a quiet laugh. “No one here is truly clean.”Aurora didn’t respond.She turned slightly. “Security,” she called.The door opened. Two men entered.“Take him,” Aurora ordered.This time, there was no hesitation. No compromise.The assistant didn’t resist.He only looked at Aurora. “So this is the end?”Aurora turned toward him. “This is barely the beginning.”The two men grabbed his arms.“I’m reporting you,” Aurora continued. “Medical data fraud. Sample manipulation. And everything you’ve done in t
