Our footsteps echoed across the red carpet of the five-star hotel ballroom where the business exhibition was being held. The silence left behind by Kael’s earlier reaction still lingered in my mind, but the tiny fingers of Darren, nestled in my grasp, served as an anchor that kept me calm.

Lidya walked half a step beside me, occasionally checking the digital tablet in her hand to confirm the event schedule.

“Madam Aluna,” Lidya called softly in a professional tone, “Mr. Kael from Gostav Group h

    The next day.The scent of wood paint and freshly cut grass filled the morning air at our new residence in Alpine. From the mansion’s back terrace, I watched Darren run around, chasing a yellow butterfly. His clear laughter soared through the air, breaking the silence that had settled in my chest for so long.A genuine smile curved across my lips.This was the main reason I had bought this place—a space where my little son could enjoy his childhood without fear.“Mommy! Look! The butterfly landed on the flower!” Darren shouted excitedly. He turned toward me, showing off his wide grin.“Don’t run too fast, sweetheart!” I called softly as I adjusted the shawl over my shoulders. “You might fall.”“I won’t, Mom—”His sentence was abruptly cut short.Right before my eyes, his little footsteps suddenly faltered. Darren hadn’t tripped over a root or a stone. His body suddenly went limp, collapsing onto the grass like a rag doll whose supporting strings had been cut.“Darren!”My heart seemed

    The silence in the top-floor conference room of Alder Corp felt thick and oppressive. Beyond the enormous floor-to-ceiling glass walls, the Manhattan skyline stretched out beneath my gaze. The golden afternoon light was slowly fading, swallowed by dark clouds moving in from the east. The overcast atmosphere seemed to mirror the final battle that now lay just within reach.I stood with my fingers resting against the cold surface of the wooden table, studying the neatly arranged documents concerning the acquisition of Gostav Group's assets before me.Today was the turning point.The day when the remnants of Kael Gostav's business empire would be completely absorbed under the umbrella of Alder Corp. The regret, financial ruin, and social isolation he had endured over the past few months had finally reached their climax at this shareholders' meeting.The door opened.Lidya stepped inside, the heels of her shoes striking the floor in a steady rhythm. Her expression was calm, but her hawk-l

    The journey to the private Alpine community in New Jersey felt incredibly peaceful. The lush trees lining the private road seemed to absorb all the nauseating noise of Manhattan.Mr. Khana sat beside me, occasionally explaining the advantages of the community's security system, which was guarded around the clock by a private intelligence team.“We’re here, Miss Aluna,” Mr. Khana said as the car stopped in front of a black iron gate with a classic European design.The gate opened automatically, revealing an expansive green lawn with a tiered fountain in the center. Behind it stood a magnificent two-story mansion in a modern-classic style, with ivory-white natural stone walls and large glass windows.As my feet touched the marble floor inside the mansion, a sense of comfort immediately washed over me. The layout was incredibly spacious, the natural lighting was perfect, and most importantly, the backyard directly bordered a high-walled private garden—a place that was extremely safe and

    The next day.Morning sunlight gently slipped into the hotel suite where we were staying. I watched Darren happily drawing at his little table. As I observed his innocent movements, a realization suddenly crossed my mind.Living in a five-star hotel penthouse certainly provided extra security and every facility we could possibly need, but it was not an efficient environment for the growth and development of a four-year-old child. Darren needed a spacious yard to run around in and a more private space to move freely.I walked over to Lidya, who was busy checking documents in the corner of the living room.“Lidya,” I called softly so as not to break Darren’s concentration. “Schedule a mansion search for us tomorrow. We can’t keep living in a hotel. Darren needs a more suitable and spacious home while we’re staying in New York.”Lidya looked up and nodded knowingly. “Yes, Madam. Actually, I anticipated this and have already prepared several exclusive housing options for you.”It did not

    Darren’s medical examination went very smoothly. Our private doctor confirmed that his physical development and overall health were in perfect condition. However, the calmness inside the consultation room could not suppress the wave of anger still burning in my chest. Merry had crossed the most sacred boundary in my life: she had dared to hurl insults and publicly challenge my son’s status.As soon as we returned to the hotel suite and Darren was safely under the supervision of the caregiving team, I summoned Lidya to my private office.“Madam, the report filed with the New York Police Department regarding Merry Dacko’s acts of harassment and intimidation has officially been processed,” Lidya said quickly, placing a copy of the report on my desk. “Our lawyers have also prepared a legal warning letter and a defamation lawsuit.”“That isn’t enough,” I said coldly, tapping my fingers against the gleaming wooden surface of the desk. “A cheap attack like the one she made earlier shows that

    This morning, the Wall Street Journal and New York's leading business newspapers featured photos of Julian Khana and me on their front pages. News of the exclusive alliance between Alder Corp and Vance Group came as a major shock that sent ripples through the local stock market. The impact was instantaneous. The domino effect of this partnership prompted several investors to move their funds from Gostav Group's projects into the new consortium we had formed.I enjoyed my morning tea while reading Lidya's financial report."Gostav Group's stock price fell another three point two percent this morning, Madam," Lidya reported from beside my desk, her voice carrying a measured note of satisfaction. "The two minority shareholders we met last night have agreed to the private share-sale agreement. We've secured four percent of the shares in Gostav Group.""Four percent is an excellent start," I replied calmly, setting my porcelain cup onto its saucer. "That small amount of influence is alread
