Damian still sat silently on the park bench behind the crematorium. A light rain had begun to dampen his hair and shoulders, but he didn't care. His fingers still clutched David's small cross necklace.

Isabella walked over, her black dress dragging a bit of wet earth. She sat silently beside Damian, looking straight up at the gray sky.

A few minutes passed in silence, until Isabella finally asked softly, "Damian, are you going to divorce me after this?"

Damian turned his head slowly. "What do you mean?"

Isabella smiled bitterly, still staring ahead. "I've heard the viral news. Elena... she is Queen Elisabeth. She also revealed that Alva is of Lancaster descent."

Damian frowned.

"Are you going after her?" Isabella continued, her voice low but piercing. "Because she has given birth to an heir. A son, the heir you crave."

Damian stared at his wife for a long time, his face unreadable.

However, instead of answering, Damian stood up. He wiped his face wet with rain and tears.

    The small café near the OKDA project site was quiet that afternoon. Soft jazz played; the air smelled of freshly ground coffee. Damian sat in a corner table. Across from him, Tamara opened her laptop and a stack of vendor files.“Sorry I’m late,” Tamara said as she sat. “The contractor sent a revised electrical layout.”“It’s fine.” Damian shut his phone. His smile was thin but relieved.Tamara glanced up. “What? Something wrong?”Damian hesitated, then said, “Elena went home to Nathan.”Tamara stopped typing. “Seriously?” Her eyes widened. “She really wants to go back to Nathan’s house?”Damian nodded. “Yeah. She still looks confused, but she chose to go home. Nathan looked happy when she came back.”Tamara’s hand covered her mouth—relieved and emotional. “Thank God. I was afraid you’d get stuck in that mess.”Damian met her eyes. “I’m not getting stuck. From the start I only wanted to help.”Tamara lowered her gaze, exhaling slowly. “I was just worried. Maybe because I already…” She

    It was late. The bedroom light was dim. Ellyn and Edward lay sleeping in the twin bassinets beside the bed.Nathan sat at the edge of the mattress, his back against the headboard. Elena lay stretched out beside him, her upper body propped on pillows, hair loose around her shoulders. She glanced toward the bassinets, then back at Nathan.“I still can’t believe it,” she said quietly. “I honestly don’t remember anything about you, Nathan.”“It’s okay if you don’t remember yet,” he answered gently. “You don’t have to force it.”She drew a breath. “Yeah, but I do believe you’re my husband now. I don’t know when I married you… but relax, this time I’m not going to doubt you.”Emotion flickered across Nathan’s face; he almost lost it. “Thank you for believing me,” he whispered. “If you’re ready, I’ll tell you a little at a time. Not everything tonight—your head’s still healing.”Elena nodded. “Start with something easy.”Nathan gave a small smile. “The first time we met was at a party Damian

    That morning, soft sunlight spilled across Damian’s villa. Cool air drifted in through a slightly open window. In the bedroom, Elena slowly opened her eyes. The heaviness in her head from the night before had eased a little, though her heart was still full of questions. She rubbed her face gently, trying to settle her breathing.Small footsteps pattered outside the door. “Mommy… Mommy!” Alva’s cheerful voice called out. The door opened and the boy dashed in with Katty and Delya right behind him. All three of them were beaming.“Mommy’s awake!” Katty shouted, jumping onto the bed and hugging Elena tight. “Let’s go home, okay? We want to see Daddy!”Elena froze for a second at the word Daddy. Something strange shifted in her chest, but she gave them a small calming smile. “Yeah, Sweetheart… we’re going home today.”Alva climbed up beside her and pressed close to her side. “Mommy remember Daddy Nathan?”Elena nodded, her eyes growing a little misty. “Not yet, Honey. But we’re still going

    Damian gazed at Elena, who remained silent, her eyes swollen from tears. His breath came heavy, as though he was carrying an invisible burden.“Nathan… is he really my husband?” Elena asked again, her voice trembling.Damian nodded slowly. “Yes, El. You married him… after we separated.”Elena shook her head, her face filled with confusion and panic. “So what they said is true? Everything feels so strange, Damian. Why did I have to suffer from amnesia?”Damian let out a long sigh, then reached for his phone on the table. “I know you won’t believe just my words. I’ll show you something.”Elena stared at Damian with tear-filled eyes, waiting silently. He opened his phone gallery and showed her a photo. In the picture, Elena was wearing an elegant gown, standing beside a man with a calm face and a warm smile—Nathan.“This…” Elena’s voice caught. “That’s… me?”Damian nodded gently. “Yes. That’s your wedding photo with Nathan. I got it from a news post.”Elena stared at the photo for a long

    Chapter 181Elena closed Alva’s bedroom door softly after making sure her son was sound asleep. His small, even breaths eased her a little. She looked at his innocent face and whispered, “Sleep well, son…”She turned and walked into the main room. The warm glow of the yellow lamp softened the space. Damian sat at the small table by the window, focused on his laptop screen. Papers lay scattered around him—café layout sketches and menu drafts.Elena came over and sat in the chair beside him. She studied Damian’s face: tired, with a tight line between his brows.“You’re not sleeping yet?” Elena asked quietly.Damian glanced over and gave a thin smile. “Not yet. There’s still a lot to finish.”Elena nodded, then noticed how stiff his shoulders looked. Without thinking, she reached out and gently rubbed them. “They must be sore, huh?”Damian flinched and reflexively knocked her hand away. “Don’t, El.”Elena stared at him, confused. “Why?”Damian swallowed; his expression tightened. “I… I d

    Damian’s car stopped in front of a small tropical-style villa. Located on the outskirts of the city, the building was simple, but clean and comfortable. Tall trees surrounded the area, making the atmosphere feel calm and far from the noise.Elena slowly opened the car door. She looked at the villa with a furrowed brow. “Damian… we’re staying here?” she asked softly.Damian turned and gave a short nod. “Yes. For now, we’re staying here.”Katty and Delya got out of the back seat first, followed by Alva who immediately grabbed Elena’s hand.“But… this isn’t our house, right?” Elena was still trying to be sure. “I don’t remember us living in a villa…”Damian gave a small smile. “It’s not. This wasn’t our home before.”Elena looked at him, confused. “Then... what happened to your parents? Your mom and dad… my in-laws?”Damian was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath. “They’re… not here anymore, Elena.”“What do you mean?”“Lancaster went bankrupt a long time ago. Mom… is now in a m
