I spent three days away from Adrian.

Three days of pretending I was okay.

I wasn't.

My father found me sitting alone on the balcony.

"You miss him."

I sighed.

"Is it that obvious?"

"To a father? Yes."

I smiled sadly.

"He let me go."

"Did he?"

"He gave me five million dollars and divorce papers."

My father frowned.

"And you accepted?"

"No."

"Good."

I looked at him.

"You knew?"

"I knew he was trying to protect you."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because you ne

    “Give me my grandchildren.” The words echoed through the Black Rose Estate. Elena couldn't breathe. She stared at the woman standing in the doorway. Her mother. Maria. Alive. After years of believing she was dead, Elena was finally looking at her. But there was something wrong. Her mother's eyes weren't filled with the warmth Elena remembered from childhood. They were cold. Tired. Almost frightened. And standing beside her was Rafael Moretti. The man who wanted her babies. The man who had threatened her family. The man who had been connected to the darkest secrets of the Black Rose. Adrian immediately stepped in front of Elena. “You're not taking them.” Maria's eyes moved toward Adrian. “Adrian…” “Don't say my name.” His voice was cold. “You've been alive all this time.” Maria looked away. “I had no choice.” “You always have a choice.” Rafael laughed. “That's what everyone says until they understand what fear really means.” Adrian glared at him. “Shut up.

    “Elena… don’t trust Adrian.” The words echoed through the old Black Rose Estate. For several seconds, nobody moved. Elena stood frozen at the bottom of the staircase, staring at the man she had spent years believing was dead. Her father. The man she had cried for. The man she had searched for. The man she had thought she would never see again. “Dad…” Elena whispered. Her voice trembled. Her father slowly stepped down the stairs. “Stay where you are,” Adrian warned. Elena looked at him. “Adrian…” “I said stay back.” Her father stopped. His eyes moved toward Adrian. “You still protect her,” he said quietly. Adrian's jaw tightened. “Of course I do.” “You don't even know what you're protecting her from.” Adrian stepped forward. “Then tell me.” Her father shook his head. “Not here.” Elena's eyes filled with tears. “Why?” Her father looked at her. “Because this place isn't safe.” Viktor immediately raised his weapon. “Everyone stay alert.” Elena looked at him.

    The message remained on Adrian's phone. TICK. TOCK. TWELVE HOURS. Elena stared at the screen, unable to speak. Her hand slowly moved to her stomach. Two tiny lives were growing inside her. Two babies she and Adrian had only discovered they were expecting hours ago. And already, someone was threatening to take them. Adrian placed the phone down. “Elena.” She looked at him. “What?” “We're not going to panic.” “How can you say that?” “Because panic is exactly what they want.” “They have my mother.” “I know.” “They have my father.” “We don't know that for certain.” “They threatened our babies.” Adrian's jaw tightened. “I know.” Elena's eyes filled with tears. “Then how am I supposed to stay calm?” Adrian reached for her hands. “You don't have to.” She looked at him. “What?” “You can be scared.” He gently squeezed her fingers. “You can cry. You can be angry. You can scream at me if you need to.” She gave him a weak smile. “But?” “But you don't have to face i

    The front door slowly creaked open. Elena froze. Adrian immediately moved in front of her. His entire body became tense. “Stay behind me.” Elena's hand instinctively went to her stomach. “Adrian…” “Don't move.” A shadow appeared in the doorway. The lights flickered. Then a man's voice came from the darkness. “Or I'll take both.” Adrian's eyes narrowed. “Rafael.” The man stepped into the light. It wasn't Rafael. It was a young man dressed in black. Elena stared at him. “Who are you?” The stranger smiled. “You can call me Daniel.” Adrian stepped forward. “What are you doing in my house?” Daniel glanced around. “Nice place.” “I asked you a question.” “And I answered.” Adrian's voice became colder. “Why are you here?” Daniel looked at Elena. “I'm here because my employer wants something.” Adrian immediately stepped between them. “You're not getting anything.” Daniel laughed. “You haven't even heard what I want.” “I already know.” “One of the babies.” E

    Elena stared at Viktor.Her fingers tightened around the old photograph.“The person standing beside her?”Viktor nodded.Adrian's eyes narrowed.“Who is it?”Viktor didn't answer immediately.That silence made Elena's heart pound harder.“Viktor,” Adrian said coldly. “Who is standing beside Maria?”Viktor looked toward the photograph.“A man named Rafael Moretti.”Elena frowned.“I've never heard that name.”“You were never supposed to.”Adrian's expression changed.But only slightly.Elena noticed.“You know him.”Adrian looked at her.“I know the name.”“From where?”“From my father's records.”Viktor nodded.“Then you know why we should be worried.”Adrian remained silent.Elena's patience finally broke.“Will someone please tell me what is happening?”Adrian immediately turned toward her.“Elena—”“No.”Her voice trembled.“No more telling me to calm down. No more telling me you'll explain later. Every time someone says they're protecting me, another secret appears.”“Elena, I'm

    The room went completely silent. Viktor's final words echoed through Elena's mind. They're after the baby. Elena instinctively placed both hands over her stomach. Adrian noticed. His face hardened. “No.” Viktor raised an eyebrow. “No?” “You're not going to bring Elena into this.” Viktor looked at him calmly. “She was already brought into it twenty years ago.” Adrian stepped closer. “Explain.” “I just did.” “You've told me nothing.” Viktor sighed. “Then perhaps you should read the entire file.” Adrian looked down at the documents in his hands. Elena stepped beside him. “What does it say?” Adrian didn't answer. “Adrian.” He finally looked at her. “Your father and mine were investigating something together.” “My father?” “Yes.” “What were they investigating?” Viktor answered before Adrian could. “An organization.” Elena's eyebrows furrowed. “What organization?” Viktor looked toward the windows. “One that existed long before Adrian became involved with the
