Aaron looked up at Evan with curious eyes. "Daddy, where have you been?"

Evan took a deep breath, choosing his words carefully. "I've been away for a while, buddy. For my work."

Bella came with a cup of coffee and sat in front of him.

"Today I had so much fun with Jason; we play superhero," Aaron excitedly said.

"I wish I could play with you too," Aaron said , and Bella and Evan look at each other. He had been without his father for a long time; still, he never behaved like this, but since he knew about Evan, he only wanted to spend time with him.

Evan's eyes met Bella's, and for a moment, they just looked at each other, the tension between them palpable. Then Evan turned back to Aaron, a smile on his face. "I'd love to play superhero with you, buddy! Maybe we can even create our own superhero together."

Their fingers touched briefly as he took the cup from her, sending a spark of electricity through his body.They stood there in comfortable silence for a moment, sipping their coffee and looking out at the night sky.

    Evan's eyes widened in shock as Bella burst into the meeting room, her appearance a stark contrast to her usual composed self.

Through the bushes with him"We're going on an adventure, kiddo," Adrian replied, his voice dripping with false sincerity. "A special place, just for us. You'll see."Aaron looked around, his eyes wide with curiosity. "But where's Mommy and Daddy?"Adrian's smile faltered for a moment before he regained his composure. "They're busy, Aaron. But don't worry; you're safe with me. I'm your uncle, remember?"Aaron nodded, but his eyes still held a hint of uncertainty.

Come on, let's go inside."With that, Adrian pushed open the creaky door and pulled Aaron into the da

Evan said.Evan's expression remained unyielding, but his voice took on a slightly softer tone. "Just tell me where Adrian took Aaron, and it will all be over."Karen's eyes, though blinded, seemed to bore into Evan's soul as she smiled, a cold, calculated smile."Kill me, but I won't say anything," she repeated, her voice firm and resolute.
