INICIAR SESIÓNIn her past life, Elara Newman had married Orion Baron, who turned out to be an absent husband. On the day she gave birth, she suffered a severe hemorrhage and lost consciousness. However, Orion was unreachable. After she was snapped awake by the doctor, she had to sign her name on the surgical consent form while her hands were still shaking. When her children caught a raging fever, Orion was still nowhere to be seen. She had to rush to the hospital all by herself, and after three consecutive days of looking after them, she was exhausted and passed out in the corridor. On the day when her parents passed away in a car accident, Orion was still absent. As she returned home with the urn containing her parents' ashes, she was greeted by a vicious slap across the face. Her uncle immediately berated her for failing to win her husband over. He blamed her that her parents never got a chance to see their son-in-law before they passed and could never rest in peace. By the time Elara turned fifty-eight, she was terminally ill with cancer. Her life was coming to an end.
Ver másCyrene was sentenced to three years in prison on charges of aggravated assault.After she was released, she tried to resume her career only to find that everything had changed.She sent countless resumes without any prospects. Even when the employers responded, she was rejected when they found out about her criminal record.Eventually, she became desperate and went to Orion for help.Before she could even step into the lobby, the security stopped her and handed her a wad of cash.“Mr. Orion wants you to take this money and never contact him again.”When she stood outside the Baron Corporation building with money in hand, she was filled with immense regret.All this time, she believed all she had to do was to marry Orion. Then, she would enjoy the privileges that came with the title of Mrs. Baron.She could never have foreseen such an ending for herself!...Compared to Orion and Cyrene’s fate, things were far better for Elara.Her brand account had flourished over the past f
Elara would not hear Orion’s name again until a certain evening five years later.She had just wrapped up a parenting seminar when an intern at her studio, who was scrolling through the news on her phone, remarked candidly, “The president of Baron Corporation, Orion Baron, is on the trending page again. He’s had a falling out with a business partner because he was too often distracted by family affairs.”Elara was in the middle of sorting out her documents when she paused briefly. Without looking up, she prompted, “Get back to work.”The intern playfully stuck out her tongue before setting her phone aside.Despite her dismissal, the passing remark about Orion had an effect on Elara. It had a rippling effect like a pebble dropped into a pond.She was not wholly bothered. Rather, it was better described as a moment of reflection.It had been five years. The man who had once dominated the landscape of her life was nothing more than a name on the gossip column.Later, a friend told
Upon returning to his home country, Orion set aside everything related to work and stayed at the hospital to care for his children.When they woke up to see him by their side, they could not conceal their disappointment.That same night, Emilia had a persistent fever and would not stop murmuring, “I want Mommy’s chicken soup.”Orion followed an online recipe and made a clumsy attempt at chicken soup.When he brought it to the bedside, Emilia pushed the bowl away, spilling its contents all over the floor.“I don't want this! This isn't the chicken soup Mommy makes!” she cried aggrievedly, “Mommy would put sweet corn in the chicken soup! You don’t even know that!”When Orion looked at the scattered mess all over the floor, he felt heartbroken.At one point, he foolishly believed that Elara’s absence would not change things.It was only now that he realized how irreplaceable she was.In the days that followed, he tried everything he could to make amends to his children, but nothi
Elara paused for a moment before countering with another question of her own, “That’s precisely the reason I’ve been a doormat for them all these years! Now, tell me how all that turned out?”With that, she hung up the phone without hesitation....After Orion was hospitalized, Elara's life got back on track.One day, she went to see Barry so she could thank him for helping her deal with Orion.Seated on his office chair, a faint smile played on his lips while he suggested, “I know how you can thank me.”“How?”“Amos has always been very fond of you,” Barry paused briefly before continuing, “How do you feel about becoming his godmother?”Amos was the son of Barry’s elder brother.Several years ago, his elder brother and sister-in-law passed away unexpectedly. With that, their child was left under his care.Over the years, Barry had acted dutifully as his guardian and raised Amos with diligence, instilling proper manners in him.Elara, who already adored Amos at that point, b
