Chapter 57

Arthur had no one he could truly trust—neither inside the city, nor beyond its walls.

He and Fiona suddenly froze when they both sensed a presence outside the door. A faint whistling sound followed. Fiona immediately pulled out her blade, instinctively on guard. She was certain—it wasn’t Aoi.

“I don’t even know how to read a map. What the hell am I supposed to do with this useless scrap of paper?”

The footsteps outside stopped just as they reached the door. At the very moment it swung open, Fiona’s eyes widened. A heartbeat before the edge of her dagger could touch the intruder’s throat, his hand shot forward and caught her wrist.

In one swift motion, the man twisted, forcing Fiona off balance. Out of sheer instinct, she fought back, but before she could regain footing, he pivoted smoothly, gripped her waist to redirect her movement, and then kicked Arthur’s side to ward him off.

Everything happened in a blur—so fast Fiona didn’t even have the chance to react properly.

    Chapter 59The cold night air bit against Hilda’s skin as they emerged from the decrepit factory. The building loomed behind them, skeletal and silent, like it had been holding its breath. Aron guided them swiftly toward a black SUV waiting by the gate.“It’s bulletproof,” he muttered, opening the rear door. “We’ll be safe inside.”Hilda nodded, ushering the children into the back seat while Khan secured their bags. Aron took the driver’s seat, and she could see his knuckles tighten on the wheel—his every motion sharp, efficient, controlled.She drew in a deep breath and said quietly, “We’re heading back to the Alegre mansion. The place where I was born.”For a moment, there was silence except for the low hum of the engine. Then, out of nowhere, Hilda spoke again.“After this, come have dinner with us, Aron. I’ll cook something for you—and for the kids.”Aron glanced at her through the side mirror, his expression unreadable. “Let’s do that.”The SUV rolled out of the factory grounds.

    Chapter 58“Why aren’t you asleep yet? Does this mean our departure is canceled?”Aron found Hilda sitting on a bench, her gaze fixed on the vast expanse of the sea.“With everything weighing on my mind right now, I just can’t bring myself to sleep,” Hilda admitted, brushing a strand of hair away from her face. Aron walked over casually, hands in his pockets, and sat down beside her.“My dad isn’t that easy to kill. He won’t die so easily,” Aron muttered. But in his heart, he knew the truth—if anyone was going to end his father’s life, it would be him. No one else.“I know,” Hilda whispered, her fingers absently playing with the engagement ring on her finger. “Because he promised me he wouldn’t die.”“Then what are you thinking about, sitting out here instead of resting?” Aron asked.Hilda sighed and confessed that she had been wondering where she should even begin looking. Her father had once told her there were people who would come for her before she turned twenty-five—people who w

    Chapter 56“Padrino!”Arthur held his breath and winced sharply, an agonizing, unexplainable pain surging from his side.“Argh!”He barely registered Aoi’s desperate scream calling out Fiona’s name before the woman burst into the room. With practiced urgency, Fiona rummaged through a tray on the nearby table and grabbed a syringe without hesitation.Veins bulged from Arthur’s arms and neck, his body tense from the sheer effort of enduring the pain coursing through every inch of him. He was soaked in sweat, his muscles twitching involuntarily.Fiona grabbed hold of Arthur and quickly injected the solution into the side of his neck. Slowly, his breathing began to ease. The tension in his limbs softened. Across the room, Ivory swallowed hard, eyes fixed on the metal bedframe beneath Arthur—deep gouges marked the steel where his fingers had gripped so tightly it bent under his strain.Arthur’s voice rasped through gritted teeth, “What happened… where are we?”He lay weakly on the cold met

    Chapter 55“Aren’t you afraid that while you’re gone, I might change Hilda’s mind? That she’ll come with me for good and never come back to you?” Aron said, smirking. Arthur had entrusted Hilda’s safety to him.“If that happens, I’ll think of a hundred ways to make her return to me,” Arthur replied calmly.Aron grinned before stepping out of the vacant room. As soon as he was gone, Gabriel spoke up.“Sir… are you really okay entrusting Miss Hilda and the kids to Sir Aron? He still has feelings for her. What if he really goes through with what he said?”Arthur admitted he was aware Aron might take this opportunity to lure Hilda and their children away. He knew Aron too well—his obsession was dangerous.“But that’s also the reason I chose him,” Arthur explained. “Aron might stab me in the back. He could kill countless people in his madness. But he would never harm my family, especially Hilda.”Aron was humming to himself as he walked down the hallway, heading back to Hilda’s room.Arthu

    Chapter 54 "How the hell did you get stabbed?" Gabriel asked irritably, the moment Fiona opened her eyes.Fiona let out a dry chuckle and muttered, “Am I in heaven now? I see an angel… with furrowed brows.”"Are you kidding me?" Gabriel snapped, pressing a hand to his forehead.Fiona winced, clutching her side as she forced herself to sit up. “I’m not good in the field, and I’m even worse at protecting people. You know that.”While outside earlier, Fiona's full attention had been on Hilda. If something happened to their mistress, their padrino would surely kill her.Gabriel didn’t respond. He knew Fiona had some self-defense training—everyone in the household did, even the ones who worked behind desks. But protecting someone? That was different. Their bodies usually moved instinctively, reacting only to direct threats.Fiona turned to Gabriel. “What are you even doing here?”Gabriel hesitated and avoided her gaze. “I received a tip that you were at the clinic.”“You’re not a doctor.
