The tension in the air as the elevator descended was a suffocating pressure, far worse than any threat from the mercenaries. I focused solely on Marcus, who was leaning heavily on me, his breath ragged, his handsome face already starting to bruise violently around the nose.

"I'm so sorry, Marcus," I repeated, the words feeling utterly insufficient. "He just... he snapped. He's been under unbelievable stress, but that's no excuse."

Marcus gently shook his head, wincing. "Don't apologize for him, Sam. I saw it. That wasn't stress; that was pure, possessive rage. He proved everything I tried to warn you about."

The clarity in his pain was undeniable. Benjamin’s violence had succeeded where his strategic brilliance had failed: it had completely severed the emotional tether that bound me to the mission.

The contrast between the cold marble floor stained with Marcus's blood and the warm, simple kindness Marcus offered was stark. I chose the latter.

    "How could you lose Gabriel?" Alex snapped. "You know he’s a sensitive child! You shouldn’t have dumped everything on him like that. At the very least, you should’ve let Davison be the one to talk to him—he could’ve explained things better, more gently. But instead, you just—blurted everything out. Are you even thinking like a mother?"Franca’s fists clenched, and tears welled in her eyes."E-even you, Alex? You’re taking Davison’s side now?" her voice trembled. "You’re a Lombardi! You’re supposed to be on my side, not his!"Alex remained cold and unmoved."Just because I’m a Lombardi doesn’t mean I’ll defend you blindly, Franca. Yes, I’m your cousin—but I won’t support you when you’re clearly in the wrong. You need to grow up—especially now that you have a child depending on you.""So you’re saying I’m not mature enough to raise my own son?!" Franca gasped, her voice rising in disbelief.Alex exhaled sharply, losing his patience. "If you think raising a child means dumping your emoti

    W-what...?I blinked twice in disbelief, unsure if I had heard him correctly."Did you just say your name is Gabriel Harrison?" Christy leaned forward, her expression just as surprised."A-are you, by any chance, related to Denmark Harrison? The owner of the biggest entertainment company in the country—and one of the richest businessmen in all of Asia?"If I was already stunned by what the boy had said, I was even more shocked by Christy’s reaction. How does she even know that name?Gabriel’s eyes lit up the moment he heard it. "You know my grandfather?" he asked, the faintest smile tugging at his lips."Of course!" Christy replied, almost scoffing. "Who doesn’t know that name? He’s a business tycoon—basically a legend. But are you really his grandson?" She narrowed her eyes at him, skeptical. "Because if you are... what on earth is someone like you—a Harrison—doing in a place like this?""I am his grandson!" Gabriel insisted. "If you don’t believe me, I can introduce you to him—just

    Monica’s POV"Mommy, look at that kid... I think he’s lost..." Victoria said, tugging lightly at my hand.I followed her gaze and saw a young boy standing not too far from where we were walking.We were on our way home from the girls’ school, taking the usual route when Victoria stopped, her eyes fixed on something—or rather, someone.And just as she said, the boy really did look lost. He was standing there, frozen, eyes darting nervously around him. There was fear written all over his face.From his neat clothes and clean appearance, it was obvious he wasn’t from around our neighborhood. He looked like he came from a wealthy family.He was trembling, obviously unsure of what to do or where to go. My heart tugged in concern, so I slowly approached him, careful not to alarm him.But the moment I reached out and gently touched his shoulder—"Ackk! Don’t touch me!!!"He screamed and immediately pulled away, eyes wide in panic before he turned and bolted down the street."Kid—w-wait! I di

    Third Person POV"H-How could you say that... right in front of Gabriel?"Franca’s voice cracked with disbelief as she dropped to her knees and clutched Gabriel’s small shoulders, breaking into loud sobs.Davison’s brows furrowed, his patience wearing thin. He watched silently as Gabriel looked up at his mother, confusion and sadness swirling in his young eyes. The boy clung to the hem of Franca’s dress."G-Gabriel... your dad is abandoning us," Franca whispered between soft hiccups, pulling her son into a tight embrace. "He’s planning to leave us... soon."Davison’s jaw tightened at her words, grinding his teeth as rage surged in his chest. He could see exactly what she was doing—playing the victim, feeding lies to Gabriel to gain sympathy, and hoping to manipulate the child who had come to love him like a real father.It made his blood boil.Gabriel looked up at Davison, tears brimming at the corners of his eyes."D-Daddy... is it true? Are you really going to abandon us?"Davison’s

    "So that’s what really happened..."Alex and Alfonso could only nod at me after I finally heard the whole story about what happened yesterday—something I had no idea about until now.I was sitting in the principal’s office with them while the kids were already in their classrooms. I lowered my head in shame.I had no clue that the children had been experiencing bullying for some time now. And the worst part? Even the school principal himself got involved—and sided with the bullies.The kids hadn’t told me anything. After I stormed out of the restaurant following my resignation, I immediately got busy trying to look for another job.I picked them up from school, but after that, I barely paid attention to them. I didn’t even notice their mood when they came home. I never even asked them how school went.Maybe... maybe they would’ve told me if I had only paid attention. Maybe they did try to tell me, but I was too lost in my thoughts to listen."I didn’t even realize that something like

    One Day Later* I still remember saying I didn’t want to see any of Davison’s friends ever again. So what the hell is this? Why are they here? "H-Hello, Monica. Good morning!" Alfonso greeted me with an overly cheerful grin, as if nothing had happened yesterday. We caught them just as they were stepping out of the car at the school gate. He and Alex were holding flowers and food—just like they always used to bring every morning to our house. "Good morning, Uncle Alex! Good morning, Uncle Alfonso!" "Good morning, Christy and Victoria! It’s so nice to see you both again!" Alfonso beamed, thrilled to see the kids. He started to step toward Victoria, arms extended. But I quickly stepped in front of him, shielding both children behind me. "What are you doing here?" I asked sharply. "Didn’t you understand what I said yesterday? I told you—I don’t want to see your faces ever again. So please, just leave us alone." I wasn’t even trying to hide my annoyance anymore. Just seeing them
