Chapter 4

Moore
When Elijah arrived at Naomi’s apartment with his son, Naomi was already waiting at the door.

She was dressed in loose loungewear, holding a sheet of paper as she leaned casually against the doorframe.

The moment the car door opened, she hurried forward, her face filled with barely concealed joy.

She reached out and wrapped her arm around Elijah’s, eagerly holding the ultrasound report up to him.

“Elijah, look. This is our child. Isn’t it adorable?”

Kai leaned in curiously, peering at the s

  • The Donna’s Fake Death   Chapter 10

    Elijah was indeed wrong.How could someone dead ever come back?I had already left Neapolis. Under Matteo’s careful arrangements, I was given a brand-new identity in another country.Matteo never brought up anything about Neapolis, and I didn’t ask.As for that father and son, I no longer wanted to know. It had nothing to do with me anymore, whether it be their lives or anything about them.Gradually, I threw myself fully into my new work, slowly forgetting the pain of the past.Matteo stayed quietly by my side the whole time.When he was busy with work and couldn’t come in person, he would have his assistant deliver fresh vegetables and ingredients to me on time.He reminded me again and again to eat properly and take good care of myself.One day, when the assistant came by with supplies, he noticed that I looked much better and couldn’t help chatting a bit more.“Miss Foster, you must take good care of your health. All these years, Don Russo has been most worried about you.

  • The Donna’s Fake Death   Chapter 9

    After the livestream scandal passed, Naomi was never seen again.No one knew where she had gone.Some said she had left Neapolis; others said she had found a new boyfriend.However, only Elijah knew the truth.The name Naomi Cook seemed to have never existed at all, completely erased.Meanwhile, in Mason Manor, Kai had locked himself in his room for two full days without coming out.Ever since the day he witnessed the argument between his father and Aunt Naomi, he had changed.He no longer pestered the housekeeper to tell him stories, and he didn’t even touch his favorite building blocks anymore.Slowly, he began to understand what “death” meant.He knew his mom was gone forever, never coming back.He kept wondering if he hadn’t gone with his father to see Aunt Naomi on their anniversary, would his mom still be alive?Kai became more and more silent. He refused to speak to anyone. No matter who called him, he showed no response.At the same time, Elijah had completely falle

    Elijah tightened his grip around Naomi’s neck, his fingers closing in bit by bit.Naomi struggled desperately. Her face turned red as she clawed at his arm, unable to break free.“Elijah… let go… let go of me…”Her voice came out in broken fragments.Elijah stared at her coldly.“Didn’t I warn you? You were never to let this reach Hazel.”Tears streamed down Naomi’s face as she shook her head frantically.“It’s because of you that she died, and I won’t let you go!”Elijah roared in fury.He flung Naomi to the ground. She clutched her throat, coughing violently.Looking down at her from above, his gaze was completely devoid of warmth.“You schemed your way into killing Hazel. Now, I’m taking back all the money and resources I gave you. Get out of Neapolis immediately. Don’t ever let me see you again.”Naomi’s face turned deathly pale.She crawled forward and clung to his leg, crying out, “I didn’t kill her! Elijah, you can’t do this to me! I just love you so much! I didn’t

    After handling my “funeral arrangements”, Elijah returned to the banquet hall, completely lost.The once grand hall was now empty, none of its usual liveliness remaining.Yet, he kept staring at the entrance, imagining that I would walk in like before, smiling as I came toward him.He sat there without eating or drinking for two days. His entire body looked worn down, his voice breaking over and over as he muttered, “I’m sorry, Hazel… I’m sorry…”His friend couldn’t bear to watch any longer. He hurried over, grabbed him firmly, and urged anxiously.“Elijah, you can’t go on like this! Think about Kai. He’s still waiting for you at the manor. You can’t just ignore your child!”“Kai…” Hearing his son’s name, a flicker finally appeared in Elijah’s dull eyes.Only then did he snap back to reality. He still had a son to take care of and could no longer sit still. So, he forced himself up and stumbled back toward the manor.The moment he stepped into the living room, Kai ran over im

    “Don, please accept our condolences.”“Condolences? What?”Elijah couldn’t believe what he was hearing. His gaze turned sharp, almost murderous.“What nonsense are you talking about? My family is perfectly fine.”The officer sighed and handed over a document.“We just received a report from Via Tribunali. Based on the items found at the scene and identity confirmation, the deceased is your wife, Mrs. Hazel Foster.”Elijah froze for two seconds. Then he suddenly grabbed the officer by the collar, his eyes red with fury.“My wife is fine! She’s on her way from the manor to our fifth anniversary party! There’s no way anything happened to her! Are you cursing her?!”The officer struggled to breathe as Elijah tightened his grip. His friend rushed forward to pull him back.“Elijah, calm down!”“Calm down?!” Elijah roared.“That’s not Hazel! Those idiots got the wrong person!”The lead officer broke free and took out a photo from his briefcase, handing it over.“Mr. Mason, we und

    Elijah glanced at his watch. There was only a little over half an hour left before the dinner party began.“Driver, go back to Mason Manor immediately and pick up Donna Hazel,” he ordered in a low voice. Then he turned to Kai. “Kai, sit properly. We’ll drive straight to the venue ourselves.”The car sped off, leaving Naomi’s apartment behind.In the back seat, Kai looked uneasy. He frowned and asked worriedly, “Dad, will we still make it in time? Will Mom be angry? She hates being late the most.”Elijah tightened his grip on the steering wheel.A flicker of unease rose in his chest. He regretted coming to see Naomi before the party.He quickly took out his phone and called me.The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.Elijah frowned and impatiently sent a voice message, “Hazel, you’re already at the venue, right? We’re on the way and will be there soon.”A few minutes passed, yet there was still no reply.Uneasiness crept in. It was unlike me to ignore his calls.
