The call finally ended.

The atmosphere inside the apartment felt heavy again.

Adele was still standing near the window, her phone in hand.

Meanwhile, Sebastian watched her silently for a few seconds before letting out a short breath.

“That man has completely lost his mind.”

Adele didn’t answer right away.

Her gaze remained fixed on the rain outside the apartment.

Because there was something about Leonard’s tone earlier that felt too calm.

Too certain.

And it only made her bad feeling grow stron

    The call finally ended.The atmosphere inside the apartment felt heavy again.Adele was still standing near the window, her phone in hand.Meanwhile, Sebastian watched her silently for a few seconds before letting out a short breath.“That man has completely lost his mind.”Adele didn’t answer right away.Her gaze remained fixed on the rain outside the apartment.Because there was something about Leonard’s tone earlier that felt too calm.Too certain.And it only made her bad feeling grow stronger.On the other side of the city—Leonard finally answered Margaret’s call while continuing to drive toward central London.“Grandmother.”Margaret’s cold voice came through immediately.“Where is Vanessa?”Leonard kept his eyes on the road. “Why?”“Because that woman hasn’t been reachable for days.” Margaret’s tone sharpened. “And this should already be the time for her to give birth.”Leonard stayed silent for a few seconds.Then he answered calmly—“Vanessa already gave birth.”The atmosphe

    The villa door slammed shut after Leonard left.The sound of his car slowly faded down the rain-soaked road leading away from the isolated countryside estate.And Vanessa was still kneeling on the floor.Ash cried softly in her arms.But Vanessa barely seemed to hear him anymore.Her gaze was empty.Her breathing uneven.Leonard’s words kept replaying inside her head.Slowly, Vanessa lowered her eyes to her baby boy.Tears continued falling uncontrollably down her cheeks.“Ash…” she whispered hoarsely. “Your father abandoned us…”The baby’s cries only grew louder.One of the maids finally stepped forward hesitantly.“Mrs. Vanessa… shall I help carry Young Master—”“Don’t touch my son!”Vanessa’s sharp scream made the maid immediately step back in shock.The massive villa suddenly felt colder.Vanessa hugged Ash tighter, as though afraid someone might take him away from her.And slowly—Her sadness began turning into something else.Anger.Pure hatred.On the drive back to London, Leon

    Leonard’s car came to a stop right in front of the large classical-style villa.A light rain still fell over the quiet countryside road.Vanessa slowly studied the building before her while holding Ash, who was still sleeping soundly in her arms.The place was beautiful.Peaceful.Too peaceful.“I like it here,” she murmured softly.Leonard turned off the engine without saying much.His gaze shifted briefly toward the villa.Then to Vanessa.“Go inside first.”Vanessa gave a small smile before slowly opening the car door.Cold air immediately greeted them.Several servants were already standing in front of the villa entrance as though they had been waiting for hours.Vanessa began to feel as if everything had been prepared too carefully.But instead—She simply thought Leonard was trying to become a good father and future husband.Inside the villa—The massive room looked luxurious, yet strangely unfamiliar.No family photographs.No warmth that made it feel like home.Just a beautifu

    That day—Leonard did not contact Adele at all.No calls.No text messages.No possessive tone like usual.And somehow—That was exactly what made everything feel strange.At the hospital, Leonard appeared far calmer than he had over the past few days.He even stayed beside Vanessa almost the entire day.Helping the nurses.Holding the baby from time to time.Even sitting quietly for long moments, watching the sleeping infant in the small crib beside the sofa.Vanessa observed all of it in silence.And slowly—She began to feel relieved again.Because Leonard seemed different after their son was born.Calmer.Warmer.As though he had finally realized what mattered most in his life.“I’ve never seen you pay this much attention to someone before,” Vanessa murmured softly while gently stroking the baby’s head.Leonard sat on the sofa holding a small milk bottle.His gaze lingered on the baby boy for several seconds.“He’s my son.”The answer sounded simple.Yet it was enough to make Vane

    A few days later—Morning at Leonard’s penthouse descended into chaos.Vanessa sat on the living room sofa, clutching her swollen stomach as her breathing turned uneven.The pain had been coming more frequently since dawn.And this time—It was far worse than before.“Leonard…”Her voice trembled.“I think the baby’s coming…”Leonard stepped out of his study wearing a dark suit, his expression remaining calm.His gaze briefly dropped to Vanessa, who was already sweating.“Then we should go to the hospital.”His tone was too flat.Too ordinary.Vanessa stared at him in disbelief.“I’m in pain…”“I know.” Leonard casually picked up his car keys. “Stop screaming. You’re giving me a headache.”The words instantly made Vanessa’s eyes burn.But the next contraction hit harder, leaving her almost unable to answer.An hour later—Vanessa was already settled into a VIP room at one of London’s finest private hospitals.Doctors and nurses busily prepared for her delivery.Meanwhile, Leonard stoo

    Sebastian’s words made the air on the apartment balcony feel much colder.On the other end of the call—Leonard fell silent for several seconds.Meanwhile, Sebastian continued holding the phone with a calm expression.But somehow, that calmness sounded the most dangerous of all.“Are you threatening me now?” Leonard finally asked quietly.Sebastian smiled faintly.“I’m just getting tired of hearing you talk about the woman who’s with me now.”Adele’s gaze immediately shifted toward Sebastian.Because his tone sounded far too real.No longer just part of their plan.And Leonard clearly caught that too.“Are you serious about all this nonsense?” Leonard said coldly.“What do you think?”Leonard clenched his jaw hard.Because the most infuriating part of all this was—Sebastian didn’t sound like he was joking at all.“I’ve known you too long, Sebastian.”“Then you should know when I’m serious.”The atmosphere on both sides of the call grew heavy once more.Rain continued falling softly o
