Beep! Beep! Beep!

William stirred, jolting awake as he realized his surroundings were unfamiliar. The rhythmic sound of the heart monitor echoed beside him, dragging him back to consciousness. His breathing came fast and shallow, his mind instantly replaying the nightmare he had just lived through.

"Serena..."

The name escaped his lips before he could stop himself.

He tried to push himself upright, panic fueling his movement, but sharp pain exploded through his body, forcing him back against the mattress. His muscles trembled as he sucked in a breath.

"Who brought me here?" he murmured, his gaze unfocused as memories of the forest surfaced.

The last thing he clearly remembered was being ambushed by Martin’s men just as Martin was leaving. After that, nothing. Only pain. His fear for Serena and the triplets, and...

"Serena... she came back, didn’t she?"

The thought made his head pound violently. William clenched his jaw, fighting through the dizziness, determined to recall the final mo

    "Caelen! Caelric! Caelia!"Serena rushed into the house the moment she stepped out of the car. She moved in a frantic hurry, searching for her three children. Her breath came fast and uneven, her heart pounding wildly."They’re near the back garden, ma’am," one of the maids said, immediately sending Serena in that direction.Serena looked left and right, her anxiety growing with every step. She was terrified that something terrible had happened to her children, especially when she remembered the package containing three jackets in the exact same colors as the ones they were wearing today."Caelen! Caelric! Caelia!""Mommy!""Oh, Thank goodness!"Caelen and Caelia, who had been about to head to their room, immediately ran toward their mother when they saw her. Their small feet hurried to Serena, who looked utterly panicked, before they wrapped their arms around her at the same time and clung to her affectionately."Where’s Caelric, sweethearts? Why is it just the two of you?" Serena as

    "Oh God..."Serena rubbed her head as a sudden wave of dizziness hit her. William had left her office a few minutes ago, but his words were still echoing in her mind. Even though he had corrected himself in the end by saying Selena’s name, she still couldn’t stop thinking about it."So back then... His mother deliberately saved me?" Serena lowered her head, rubbing her face over and over again. She hated feeling this way. She felt guilty, and stupid, for only finding out the truth now.So Mirelle Velmond had sacrificed herself to protect her and the triplets who were still in her womb at the time?Serena felt suffocated just thinking about it. She never would have expected it, especially since it was William’s mother who had invited her to meet at that park in the first place.Could it be that Mirelle Velmond had deliberately asked her to go there because she already knew about the assassination plot targeting her?Serena pressed her temples again. That possibility made it even harder

    "Are you serious? You’re sure you didn’t see it wrong?"William’s words directly contradicted everything Serena had believed all this time. She lifted her head again, meeting the man’s gaze, then finally lowered it when he handed her an old photograph, its edges visibly worn and damaged."At first, I thought the same thing," William said while staring at the photo now in Serena’s hands. "I thought it might just be a business tactic, but... that photo changed my assumptions."Serena narrowed her eyes, trying to recognize the woman standing between her biological father and William’s grandfather. At first, she thought it was her mother, but it wasn’t. The woman’s gaze and the curve of her smile were very different, even though her height was almost the same as her mother’s."Who is this woman?" Serena asked, looking back at William. "She seems very close to your grandfather and my father.""That’s what I still don’t know," William replied, his eyes returning to the photo. "I accidentall

    "What? Why are you only telling me this now?!"Serena immediately straightened her back when she heard the words of one of her father’s most trusted men that afternoon. She had just begun to feel a little calmer as, one by one, the people who had destroyed her life and William’s were finally being exposed. But now, she was confronted with shocking news she had never expected."I’m sorry, Miss," Martin said again, lowering his head. "I was only carrying out your father’s orders. He told me to inform you if his condition was still unstable after five days.""Just tell me the name of the hospital where he is," Serena cut in quickly, unwilling to waste any more time. "I’ll talk to him myself. I want to see his condition with my own eyes. And I want to ask him what happened to him before, what made him end up like this.""I’m sorry, Miss."Serena frowned when her father’s trusted subordinate only repeated his apology and said nothing more. She let out a shallow breath before finally closin

    Serena couldn’t bring herself to say everything yet, fear still tangled tightly around all the things she worried about. She looked at William, whispering an apology only in her heart. As if answering it, William nodded, then gently rested his forehead against hers.Serena gasped, completely unprepared for the movement. Yet once again, she couldn’t step back or push him away. Every part of her felt frozen, held in place by emotions she had been desperately trying to bury deep inside her chest."Thank you," William whispered, his hand closing over hers, which was still cupping his face.Only then did Serena realize it. Her touch against William’s cheek slowly weakened, trembling so noticeably that William instinctively tightened his grip, grounding her before she could slip away.Serena’s hand lingered against William’s cheek longer than it should have.She felt the warmth of his skin beneath her fingers, felt the way his breath stuttered almost imperceptibly at the contact. He didn’t

    "Did she really throw me out?"William glanced back, staring at the door that was now firmly shut between them. He drew in a slow breath, steadying himself, then cast a brief look around to make sure no one had witnessed Serena pushing him out of her office.Behind the glass window, Serena watched him leave. Only then did she release a quiet breath and sink back into her chair. She closed eyes for a moment, then reached for the tablet on her desk, forcing herself back into work."At least he’s gone," she whispered, though a strange, uncomfortable feeling still pressed against her chest.Numbers, charts, meeting notes, she clung to them desperately, letting them crowd her thoughts until there was barely any room left for William’s face, which refused to leave her mind."God! Is it already this late?"Serena frowned when she checked the time on her phone. She stood up at once. She should have gone home an hour ago, but she had been forced to replace her father in an internal meeting for
