LOGINA week later...Life had finally settled into a comfortable routine for Dimitri and Maureen.The events that had once filled their minds with uncertainty had gradually become part of the past. They were no longer living from one problem to another.They had settled into their life as husband and wife.That afternoon, Dimitri drove Maureen to the hospital for an appointment with an eye doctor.She had been short-sighted since birth, so the appointment wasn't because she had suddenly developed a problem with her eyes. They had already planned the visit because Maureen was going to get her contact lenses that day.Dimitri had suggested again that she get them, and Maureen had agreed without hesitation. After the accident in the restroom, she had changed her mind. She had never used contact lenses before because she had always thought they would be stressful. Putting them in and taking them out seemed like too much work, and she didn't think she had the time for it.When they arrived at t
"I'll start making arrangements for your return and taking over."Nathaniel looked at Kelsey as he spoke.They were now at the parking lot of the amusement park. A short while after Ramon arrived, they decided to head home.Kelsey forced a smile and nodded."Okay.""You shouldn't have that face," Nathaniel said when he noticed the look on her face. "You're taking over a billion-dollar inheritance, not a cent. You should be happy."Kelsey let out a small sigh."I have enough."She knew exactly what taking over meant. It wasn't only about the money. It meant taking over everything Nathaniel had built and becoming part of the world she had always tried to stay away from.Nathaniel could see the hesitation in her eyes, but he didn't say anything else.They were already leaving. He lowered himself and gave Kendrick a hug. "I'll see you again, champ.""When?""Any other day," Nathaniel said softly with a smile. "Your mummy will bring you to me anytime I want to see you."Kendrick threw his
Lorenzo stared at the men surrounding him in shock. His eyes moved to Magnus, who stood in front of Ramon, blocking him from Lorenzo."How did they come in?"He looked toward the office door. He had locked it.But then he noticed that they had come through a door that looked like a restroom to him.Ramon didn't answer."Drop your gun, Lorenzo. You might still have a way out of this."His voice was firm, although there was still panic beneath it.Ramon didn't want to tell him that there was an exit door in his private room.The exit had been built for emergencies. Even if he didn't want to leave through the main office door, he could use the exit door.More importantly, he needed to find Kelsey and Kendrick. He needed to know that they were safe with his own eyes.Lorenzo stared at him for a few seconds before suddenly laughing.A bitter laugh escaped his lips."You won again," he said through clenched teeth. "But do you think I'm ready to go back to prison?""You should have lived wel
Ramon frowned.His eyes shifted toward Lorenzo and then back to the screen. Kelsey and Kendrick were now sitting with Nathaniel on a bench.Ramon immediately realized that Lorenzo had someone following them and had already made plans. One word from him, and someone hidden nearby could fire at them."I have always been jealous of your friendship with Dimitri." Lorenzo's bitter smile returned. "I wanted to be friends with the two of you."His face tightened."But you told me no right away. You even told Dimitri not to be friends with me."Ramon was taken aback."It's okay if you didn't want to be my friend, but why did you tell Dimitri to keep his distance from me?"Lorenzo continued."Why couldn't we be friends? What was so special about your friendship with Dimitri that you didn't want another person?"Ramon honestly didn't know what to say. He had indeed told Lorenzo that they couldn't be friends. But it was because Dimitri had been his only close friend since before middle school. R
The following day, Ramon stayed at the office.Kelsey and Kendrick had gone to the amusement park, and Nathaniel was supposed to join them later. Since Kelsey's grandfather would be there, Ramon decided not to follow them.He still wasn't completely comfortable leaving them alone, though.Before they left, he had instructed his security team to double the number of men around them. He also arranged for a few plainclothes guards to remain nearby without making their presence obvious.He trusted his men.But he didn't trust Lorenzo.He had no idea what Lorenzo's plan was, and the thought of anything happening to Kelsey or Kendrick made him uneasy.Now, several hours later, Ramon sat behind his desk, going through some documents while talking to someone on the phone.He had barely finished reading one of the documents when the door opened.Ramon lifted his head.He expected to see Daniel.Instead, the man who walked into the office closed the door behind him.The sound of the lock clicki
The gate of the detention center opened, and Dimitri stepped out.He felt the fresh air against his face.He had been released after the man arrested at the police station confessed to the crime. Gwen had also been arrested after the investigation connected her to the incident.Dimitri took a deep breath.Before he could fully breathe out, a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around him.He froze."Thank goodness you're out, Dimitri." Maureen's voice was filled with relief. She quickly pulled away from him but continued holding his palm. "How are you doing? Did you feel uncomfortable in there?"Dimitri blinked, finally coming back to reality."No, I'm fine," he said softly. He placed a hand on her shoulder and studied her tired face. "You didn't get any sleep, did you?"Maureen shook her head slightly.Dimitri sighed. "I told you not to worry.""How do you think she wouldn't worry?" Denovon's voice came from nearby. He walked toward them, his expression calmer now that his son was finally
Kelsey fell hard to the floor, her palm scraping painfully against the marble tiles.Her cheek burned badly from the two slaps Doris had given her, and before she could even recover, another harsh voice rang through the living room.“How dare you come back here after what you did to Kendrick?!”Kel
It took Kelsey only one day after regaining her memories to realize that what she had lived in for five years was never a marriage. It was suffering. “I want a divorce.” The words fell calmly from her lips, yet the entire room froze. Ramon Holloway looked up slowly, his sharp eyes landing
The next morning… Kelsey slowly opened her eyes. A sharp pain shot through her head, making her shut them again immediately. Her brows tightened as she let out a soft groan. Everything felt heavy… her body, her thoughts… even her breathing. She was still lost when the door suddenly opened.
Kelsey had almost reached their table when Ramon came rushing back into the shop like a storm.He brushed past her without even looking at her and immediately knelt in front of Kendrick.“Kendrick, look at me,” Ramon said worriedly while checking his condition.The little boy was still struggling t
