Chapter 14

“What happened to your foot?”

Hilda looked up. Gabriel stood before her, kneeling to examine her ankle.

“Can you stand?”

Hilda shook her head repeatedly. The pain was intense now, a sharp contrast to the earlier numbness brought on by the turmoil in her mind. Tears welled in her eyes, rendering her immobile.

Gabriel exhaled and straightened. He instructed Hilda to climb onto his back, promising to carry her to the clinic.

He took one of Hilda’s hands and placed it on his shoulder. Without hesitation, Hilda climbed onto his back, her arms wrapping around his neck like a child’s. A grateful “Thank you” escaped her lips.

In the distance, Fiona’s eyebrows shot up as she witnessed the scene. She shook her head, a silent observer of this tender moment.

Fiona’s gaze lingered on Hilda, who seemed almost childlike in her simple joy. Fiona’s expression softened, and she let out a sigh.

“If you’re this innocent, how could Gab and I not worry about you?”

    Chapter 46"Hilda."Hilda slowly opened her eyes. The door to the holding room creaked open—and there, framed by the light pouring in behind her, stood her nanny’s anxious face.“Hilda.”It was Arthur’s voice. Hilda turned her head and saw Arthur, worry etched deeply into his features, gently cupping her cheek.“Will you always make me worry like this?” he asked softly.Arthur pulled Hilda into a tight embrace. Her mind was still struggling to process everything that had happened.Without realizing it, tears began to stream down her face, and she hugged Arthur back, clinging to him.“I’m sorry,” Hilda whispered. “If I hadn’t interfered… If I had just listened to you and stayed in my room, you wouldn’t have almost died. And no one else would have died either.”Arthur paused and looked at her.“What are you saying?” he asked gently. Fiona, standing nearby, looked equally concerned and confused.Arthur helped Hilda sit up and assured her, “None of this is your fault.”“That’s what Nanny

    Chapter 45“Nanny, what’s going on? Why are there so many people?” young Hilda asked as she sat on the older woman’s lap, looking out the window. From there, they could see several guests stepping out of their luxurious cars and walking toward the mansion.“It’s Miss Alica’s birthday,” the old woman replied, which made Hilda pause and look up.“Nanny? What’s a birthday?” the little girl asked curiously. A shadow of sadness crossed the nanny’s face as she softly explained, “It’s the day a person was born.”“I want a birthday too, Nanny! When is my birthday?”Hilda immediately climbed down and stood before her nanny, raising both hands in excitement. She said she wanted to wear a pretty dress too and have many people come over.The old woman gave a bittersweet smile and gently cupped Hilda’s cheek.“Alright, when your birthday comes, I’ll make you a beautiful dress,” she promised.Hilda jumped up and down with glee. In their current situation, it was already a blessing if they could eat

    Chapter 44I don’t know why, but ever since the incident at the main hall, I haven’t seen Art.“Mama, is Papa busy again?” Peri asked.We were inside the playroom. Both kids were lying on the carpet, working on a puzzle together.“Maybe, honey,” I replied, glancing at Aoi, who was inside the room with Ivory.“Aoi, what’s going on outside? What’s keeping Art so busy?” I asked. It had been almost four days since I last saw Art. I hadn’t really asked around, knowing he was locked in his office and not leaving the building.“Just papers, Miss Hilda… and meetings,” Aoi answered, scratching his cheek. But he didn’t answer everything I asked.For some reason, Art had also told me to stay inside the main building and, if possible, remain in our room.It was nap time. Once the twins had fallen asleep, I quietly slipped out of the playroom. Nari followed me, saying she hadn’t seen Art come out of his room either.I went to his office and knocked. When I opened the door, I was surprised by the m

    Chapter 43After my conversation with Art, I started feeling a bit better. He had a point, after all.“Mama? Are you okay now? Beryl and I got worried because you didn’t leave your room after you and Dad left during breakfast,” Peri said as he hugged my leg the moment I stepped out of the room and was greeted by my children.I knelt and looked at Beryl, meeting her eye level. I didn’t need to question what Dad did—because as a parent, there's nothing a mother or father wouldn’t do for their child.When Dad tried to force me to abort my children and I had nowhere to run, I was at my weakest. But to protect them, and to be with them, I jumped off the yacht. God knows how much I wanted to live—that’s why I ended up under the Nicastro’s care, playing hide and seek with death.“There’s nothing else I want in this lifetime but to see you grow up healthy, happy, and smart enough so that no one can abuse you or look down on you,” I whispered as I stared into my children's eyes.“What are you

    Chapter 42In the end, the elder Alegre took his own life—right after Hilda finally found it in her heart to forgive him.There was nothing Hilda could do in that moment but cry, sinking helplessly into Arthur’s arms.Arthur clenched his fists. If only he had known what the old man was planning, he would’ve ended it before dawn—he would have killed him himself and told Hilda he escaped.“Don’t I deserve to be loved by a parent? Why would Dad do this to me? Am I really that hard to love and taking care of?!”Arthur couldn’t bring himself to speak. The old man’s actions had been completely unexpected. He had taken his life out of the blue. There was nothing unusual on the CCTV—no one had entered or left the room after Hilda, except for...Nari.Arthur turned to Nari, who stood with her head bowed, unable to meet their eyes.“Nari,” Arthur called.She stepped forward, her hands behind her back and an unreadable expression on her face.Arthur asked her if she had noticed anything strange

    Chapter 41I purposely woke up early to visit Arthur and ask him to teach me how to read. Of course, he had no idea I was planning to show up at his office.“What are you doing here, Kyline?”The hallway was empty—no guards posted outside—and the office door was slightly ajar. I froze when I saw a stunning woman inside, standing in front of Arthur.“I just wanted to see you. Am I disturbing you?” the woman asked gently, her lips curled into a soft smile.My brows furrowed when she suddenly reached out and placed her hand on Arthur’s chest. He quickly pushed her hand away and stood up, visibly irritated.“If you’re done and don’t need anything else, get lost. I have a mountain of paperwork to deal with,” Arthur said flatly, straightening in his seat.I rolled my eyes. Just how many flies buzz around this old man? Though calling him old might be a stretch—he's only in his thirties, and with that face and charisma, he hardly looks it. The woman wasn’t much older than me either, probably
