Chapter 68

It had been three days since Lucian showed up at Clara’s house. Elsa had not seen or heard from him since. The media storm had settled a little, and the article was no longer the top trending story. But people still talked. Some called her brave. Some doubted her. Elsa didn’t care anymore. She had said what she needed to say.

Tessa came into the kitchen that morning with her phone in hand. She placed it on the counter and poured herself a cup of coffee.

“Still quiet on Lucian’s end,” she said.

Elsa sat across from her, eating toast. “Maybe he’s finally letting go.”

“I doubt it. He’s not the kind to quit.”

Elsa nodded. She didn’t trust the silence either.

The twins came running in, laughing about something. Leah had a crayon tucked behind her ear. Mia was holding a drawing of a rainbow.

“Mommy! Look what I made!” Mia shouted, holding it up.

Elsa smiled. “It’s beautiful, sweetie.”

“Can we go to the park today?” Leah asked.

“Maybe,” Elsa said. “If the sun stays out.”

Tessa lo

    Chapter 67Elsa didn’t sleep much that night. She sat by the windowAt 5 a.m., the sky began to lighten. Birds started singing. The world outside looked peaceful, but Elsa didn’t feel peace. She stood from the chair, stretched her arms, and walked to the hallway. The house was still. Silent.She opened the girls’ room door. Mia and Leah were still asleep, curled under soft blankets. Mia had her arm wrapped around her sister, like she was guarding her in her sleep. Elsa felt a lump in her throat. These two girls had been through so much in such a short time. They didn’t deserve this life. They didn’t deserve to grow up afraid.She closed the door gently and headed downstairs. Clara was already in the kitchen, dressed in a robe, holding a cup of tea.“Couldn’t sleep?” Clara asked.Elsa shook her head. “I don’t think I can until this is over.”Clara poured her a cup. “We don’t know what he’s planning.”“But I know Lucian,” Elsa said, sitting down. “He’s proud. He’ll want to face me himse

    Chapter 66: Changes The sun rose slowly, casting a soft light over the empty road. Elsa opened her eyes and sat up, feeling stiff from the long night. They had spent the night in a small roadside motel, one of the quiet ones on the edge of town. It wasn’t fancy, but it was safe. The twins, Mia and Leah, were still sleeping on the bed beside her. Their small faces looked peaceful, their breaths steady. For now, everything was calm.Tessa came in through the door holding two paper cups of coffee. She handed one to Elsa.“You didn’t sleep much,” Tessa said, sitting on the edge of the bed.Elsa shook her head. “I couldn’t. I kept thinking he’d show up.”Tessa didn’t ask who she meant. They both knew Lucian would be coming. He had too much pride to let them leave so easily. But Elsa had no regrets. She had taken the twins and walked away from the life Lucian tried to force on them. That was the only choice she had.“We have to leave before eight,” Elsa said. “Clara’s driver is meeting us

    chapter 64 Elsa nodded. “Lucian won’t waste time. Once he realizes the twins are gone, he’ll come for us.”Tessa frowned. “We should have taken another route back. Staying near the border is risky.”“I know,” Elsa said softly. “But the warriors are tired. The pups need rest. We’ll move again by dawn.”Behind them, a small fire crackled. The warriors sat in a circle, speaking in low tones. The twins, Mia and Leah, lay asleep under warm blankets. Their little faces looked peaceful, unaware of the danger surrounding them.Elsa walked over to the fire. She scanned the faces of her warriors—strong, loyal, and brave. Each one had followed her into Shadow Fang territory without question.She cleared her throat. “Tonight, we keep watch in turns. Lucian may come with force. We’ll be ready.”“Yes, Alpha,” the warriors said in unison.Tessa stood and handed out assignments. “Group one—first watch. Group two—rest for now. Stay close.”As the warriors moved into position, Elsa sat beside the twin

    Chapter 64: Shadow legacy The sky was cloudy and gray as Nathan and Landon walked out of their hotel early in the morning. It was cold, and the streets were mostly empty. They had just finished an important meeting with Gregory Mays. He had given them a box full of papers that revealed something huge. The documents were not just about stolen money. They showed a hidden system of lies, fake companies, and powerful people working behind the scenes.Landon held the heavy box in his arms and looked around the street, feeling uneasy. "Do you think any of these people are still alive?" he asked Nathan."Some might be," Nathan replied. "If they survived Smith’s attacks, they could still be working in the background."Their first stop was the city’s public records office. With Mays’s notes in hand, they searched through old property records, news stories, and court papers.

  • The Rejected Surrogate Mother Of The Genius Triplets    The news

    Chapter 62Landon could barely sleep after the shocking news. Every time he closed his eyes, his mind wandered back to what Nathan had said. His hands shook, and his heart felt heavy. He had killed his own father without knowing it. Guilt tore at his chest like claws, and regret sat deep in his gut. Even though he had no memory of the event, the truth was now clear: Robert Landon had died by his son’s hand, all because of manipulation. Nathan had played him like a pawn, used his pain and hatred to destroy the one person he had always longed to know.As the sun rose, Landon stood by the window, watching the world slowly come to life. He couldn’t believe how normal everything looked outside when his whole world had fallen apart. He was still processing Nathan’s confession. The worst part was that Nathan didn’t even seem sorry. He had said everything like it was just a game—a game that he had won.Meanwhile, Nathan stayed locked in a separate room. After telling Landon the truth, he hadn

  • The Rejected Surrogate Mother Of The Genius Triplets    Only

    Chapter 61: Only Nathan couldn’t sleep that night. The words from the mysterious letter kept replaying in his head. “You think truth protects you? It exposes you.” What did Smith mean by that? Was there something else hidden? Something they had missed? He lay in bed, staring at the ceiling until the first light of dawn crept through the curtains. When he finally got up, he walked straight to the library.The old bookshelves towered above him, the scent of paper and dust thick in the air. He moved carefully, scanning the rows until he reached the spot where the book with the letter had been left. Nathan checked the other books nearby, pulling them out one by one. His instincts told him there was more. And he was right. Behind a thick red encyclopedia, taped to the back of the shelf, was another envelope.This one was handwritten. The slanted cursive was shaky, but clear. "You’re close, but not close enough. The blood that binds you is the same that blinds you." Nathan's fingers tight

    Chapter 61: Unraveling the PastThe days that followed Smith’s escape were filled with silence, suspicion, and sudden change. The mansion no longer felt haunted, but neither did it feel whole. Nathan found himself staring out the tall windows more often, thinking about all the things Robert never got to say, all the truths he never lived to explain. But there was no time for sorrow now. They had to finish what they started.Landon had taken up the role of restoring order, not just within the family, but in the community. Many of the elders came forward to apologize, admitting they had chosen silence over truth when Robert died. Some did it out of fear, others out of loyalty to Smith. But now that the lies had been pulled apart, it was time to rebuild trust.While Landon handled the external matters, Nathan dug deeper into the past. He knew Smith wouldn’t stay hidden forever. Someone that dangerous didn’t run without a plan. And Nathan intended to uncover whatever was left of Smith's
