Chapter 6

Author: Perfect Timing
On one side, Vanessa screamed and raged like a lunatic; on the other, his superior demanded an explanation.

Damien’s face went pale, cold sweat beading his forehead.

He glanced around frantically until he spotted me holding Kenneth at the edge of the crowd.

He immediately pointed at me and shouted, “I don’t know anything! It’s Tanya—this is all her idea!

“She told me the baby had drowned. Poor Vanessa took pity on Tanya, so she let Tanya raise her son.

“I never imagined that Tanya had swapped the children in advance, thus killing my nephew! We were all in the dark, tricked by her completely!”

In a few sentences, he cleared himself and pinned the blame squarely on me.

Some onlookers did not seem convinced and asked each other, “Is that true?”

Damien answered firmly, “Yes! That’s exactly how it happened. How could I harm my own son? It’s all a misunderstanding!

“Tanya is not in her right mind. You can’t trust what she says!”

I watched him, my lips curling into a cold smile.

    Everyone present was stunned as they watched Damien being taken into custody. He looked just as bewildered, caught entirely off guard.Damien struggled desperately, protesting, “I never did such a thing! You must be mistaken—someone must have filed malicious reports against me!”One of the officers, however, replied calmly, “We would never act without substantive evidence.”At the same time, Vanessa, hiding in a corner, was also apprehended. She panicked as she thrashed and cried, “What are you doing? Why are you arresting me?”Seeing this, Damien’s previously confident demeanor faltered, and panic flashed in his eyes. Only after both of them were restrained did an officer begin to speak.“Colonel Slater is suspected of abusing his authority, falsifying military medical credentials, and taking opportunities meant for others. “Both of you will accompany us for a thorough investigation.”Everyone witnessing the debacle had no further doubts. General Garth scowled, fury bu

    “If you don’t believe me, you can go to my place,” I said. “Their marriage certificate is in Vanessa’s room; a simple check will prove it.”In truth, there was no need for verification. Vanessa had practically revealed everything herself. She grabbed Damien’s arm and shook it desperately.“Damien, you call yourself a man?! How can you let them treat me like this?”Worn out by her constant pestering, Damien’s face finally showed a trace of impatience.“Enough. Is this really the time for that?”He felt overwhelmed, too weary even to placate Vanessa.His gaze turned to me, softening in a way I had never seen.“The past was truly a misunderstanding, Tanya. I didn't think things through properly, and I ended up hurting you.“I promise to treat you right from now on. Can you give me a chance to make amends?”I remained unmoved, my tone distant. “There’s nothing left to discuss. Step aside.”Damien tried to reach for my hand. “Don’t forget, we have a son together. How do

    Damien dared not act out of line with General Garth, but he had no reservations shouting at me.He glared at me with a dark look and threatened, “Impossible! Do you even know what you’re saying? That transfer order—I clearly saw you burn it!“You’d better think carefully before speaking. Where could you even go if you leave me?”I gave him a faint glance, my smile a mixture of satisfaction and derision.“That was just a receipt for a notice. From the moment it was sent, it meant my transfer had already been processed.”He met my eyes and roared in anger.“We are husband and wife, Tanya. I won’t allow it! You’d better give up on the thought of leaving. “Think carefully—do you really want us to drift apart?I smiled. He had no idea how long I had awaited this moment.I pulled out the wedding certificate I had torn in two and flung it at him.Damien’s face twisted, yet he tried to act nonchalant.“What are you doing? You think shredding it changes anything between us?”I clap

    Before anyone could process what Vanessa meant, Damien’s face drained of color. He snatched the baby and began checking him frantically.They had never cared for Kenneth during the past month, and this was the first time they saw the skin hidden beneath his clothes.They flipped him over and over, roughly examining him. Kenneth fussed in discomfort, wrinkled his little nose, and cried.I stepped forward, seizing the moment, my voice sharp with urgency.“What are you doing? Give my son back immediately.”Vanessa froze, turned at the sound of my voice.Then she lunged at me, screaming.“It’s you, it must be you! Where is my son?”I shoved her away, secured Kenneth in my arms, and said coldly, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand. “This is my son. Didn’t your son die right after birth?”Vanessa’s face twisted into a grotesque mask of rage and panic, claws raised toward me.“No, no! You swapped my child! Give me back my son!”She babbled incoherently, her fear and

    I took the envelope calmly and tossed it into the fire.“My superior has tried more than once to have me transferred, but I have Kenneth now. How could I leave?“It’s just a notice. I’ve already rejected the offer.”I knew exactly what Damien liked to hear. The notice, useless now, burned with ease.He believed it immediately, his expression relaxing.“That’s good. A married woman should stay home and care for her child. With your skills, you can teach Kenneth well.“He’s nearly a month old, so I plan to celebrate with a small party. After all, he is the heir of the family.”I was rather delighted, so I smiled and agreed. The more lively it was, the better.Time passed swiftly. On the day of the celebration, Damien had pulled out all the stops.He booked the entire restaurant, invited many higher-ups and colleagues, and, of course, family and friends.He grinned from ear to ear, impeccably dressed as he welcomed the guests.Vanessa stood beside him in a stylish dress,
