Chapter 131

Penulis: Lightmoon
Orion was too quiet and well-behaved. He clung to Marisol constantly, indifferent to anyone else's attempts to engage with him.

That evening, Julius left to handle follow-up matters at the police station, leaving Alinta alone in the ward with them.

Once Orion was asleep, she couldn't hold back her frustration. "He's way too attached to you. I pulled out every trick I knew, yet he didn't even crack a smile. Is his heart made of stone?"

Marisol let out a helpless laugh. "Give him time. He's still wary of strangers."

Alinta knew that, of course. She was simply envious. She wanted to snuggle an adorably obedient child like Orion too.

The night passed uneventfully.

Marisol woke early and helped Orion freshen up. Over breakfast, she noticed Alinta stealing glances at her with her lips pressed tight as if biting back words.

"What is it?" she asked after finishing her meal and medication.

"Nothing," Alinta hedged while shaking her head.

Marisol said nothing more. She knew

    Had they not been frail, Emilia would likely have draped them head-to-toe in protective charms rather than settling for pendants alone. Marisol had had enough. Only after enduring a full-on lecture, swearing absolute obedience, and promising never to wander off alone, did she finally manage to persuade Emilia to go home and rest.The moment she left, Marisol turned her glare toward the two who had conveniently just returned."Which one of you told her?" "Wasn't me!" Alinta denied it instantly."Definitely not me," Julius echoed, shaking his head. Both of them had seen Emilia's temper firsthand. Neither of them was foolish or desperate enough to volunteer for it. So, who had spilled the beans? …A sleek black Phantom cruised through the streets. In the backseat, Lucian suddenly sneezed. He pressed his fingers to his flushed nose before speaking in a rough, hoarse voice. "Go on." Zayne glanced at him through the rearview mirror. He saw that Lucian looked pale and drained,

    Marisol sighed at the mention of the divorce. "The review process wrapped up a while ago. We're just waiting for the courts to reopen after the holiday break." It had taken persistent follow-ups from her legal team to get it that far. Originally, she'd hoped to have everything finalized before Renewal Day, but the court had been overwhelmed with a backlog of civil disputes. Personal cases like divorces had been postponed in favor of more urgent litigation. All Marisol could do was wait for the court to reopen. Alinta nodded in understanding. "That's typical. Family disputes always get postponed around the holidays. The courts probably hope you'll reconcile over family gatherings and drop the case. It saves them paperwork," she remarked. Marisol's lips twitched. There was no chance for her to drop the case. She had endured seven years in that marriage; it wasn't a short time. Her resolve had crystallized long ago. There was no going back, and the divorce was happening, n

    "Mom, Happy Renewal Day!" Marisol's expression softened at the sound of Andre's cheerful voice on the other end of the line. She had thought he wouldn't reach out this year. The Renewal Day gifts she'd prepared—toys, jewelry, little trinkets—ended up sitting untouched. So, on the day itself, she transferred 10,000 dollars into his account as a holiday allowance. Even if it was a little late now, at least he still called. Marisol's voice turned gentle as she asked about Andre's recent days, listening patiently as he chatted about the fun little things he'd experienced.After a few minutes of chatting, Andre suddenly asked, "Mom, Dad said you were busy and couldn't come back for Renewal Day. Are you done now? I miss you. Can you come home and play with me today?"Marisol's heart stirred. Maybe it was because she had just saved a child, or maybe her emotions were already worn thin, but in that moment, she really did want to see Andre. However, her body was still weak from the

    However, Alinta's next sentence made Marisol's hand freeze as she stroked Orion, her scalp prickling with horror."The night it happened… the kid was home."...That night, Orion had been at home with the nanny. Sienna, completely unhinged after what she saw, came home and immediately told the nanny to leave. In court, she claimed it was to prevent the scandal from spreading beyond the family. She never expected that the argument would escalate into a violent crime.Things got so loud in the house that it drew the attention of the neighbors. The front door wasn't even fully shut, so it was easy to push open. When the neighbors stepped in, they were stunned by what they saw—Giovanni lay dead in a pool of blood, and three-year-old Orion was sitting beside him, clutching a stuffed toy. He was soaked head to toe in blood, and his eyes were wide and clear, but he wasn't crying. He just sat there like he'd turned to stone.Sienna was still holding the knife and was about to attack Ori

    Alinta didn't keep them guessing any longer. She gave a quick, straightforward rundown of the case.It was an old case from about five or six years ago.
