The child fell asleep in Arya's arms that night. She didn't have to tell him a bedtime story, but instead, she shared the story of her life. Ayden had told him that he had hurt his mommy, and that's why she left. He never told him the why, the how, or the when. Those were things that they, as adults, would resolve in due time."You need to rest," Ayden comments, noticing her discomfort. "Let me help you settle him, and you also need to talk to Robín.""You're right..." she gets up slowly and leaves the bed as Ayden tucks in their son and covers him.Arya walks to the exit and takes her phone out of her bag. She finds Robín's number on the back of her email and calls him."Hey, are you still alive?" she asks when he answers."Still kicking! Are you coming to sleep tonight or has that millionaire of yours kidnapped you?" he jokes. In the background, the sound of a movie can be heard."I'll tell you tomorrow. I just called to let you know I'll pick you up at nine, okay?" she explains."A

Doctor Evans, known as Robin to Arya, approaches to inform them that their little son is now stable. Just hearing it, the doctor embraces Ayden again and breaks into tears. She feels her soul returning to her body and the fear dissipating."Soon, you'll be able to see him," she assures, still wearing her civilian clothes under an improvised surgical gown."Thank you, Robin!" Arya expresses and hugs him warmly before letting go. "Aryehn's teacher said he had ice cream and was running around afterward.""Uh... precisely the recommendations you asked him not to follow," he comments. "I think you should talk to the school or have a shadow teacher assigned just to watch over him.""We'll see," Ayden informs. "It's too early to draw conclusions.""I'm sorry, you're right," Robin says."Doctor Evans, it's ready now," a nurse announces."Let's go," he invites the Emorys and Arya.As they walk in, the young doctor can see how the other physicians regard them as intruders, even Evans' reaction

The kiss grows deeper as they progress. Ayden's hands travel down Arya's back. He knows he desires her, but he doesn't know how to handle that desire. He feels that if he lets it loose, there will be no turning back, and he doesn't want to reveal his true self. He's afraid of doing or saying something he shouldn't.However, Arya has waited for this moment for a long time. She wants him, she desires him. Holding his face, she pulls him closer, hoping he will kiss her more, kiss her neck and body. But then the ringtone of a call interrupts them.Ayden feels relief, and Arya is annoyed. It's clear that she's always the one who wants more, and he's the one who hesitates.He gets up and answers the call. When he realizes who it is, his displeasure is evident. He hangs up and turns his attention back to Arya, who is already getting ready to sleep. As she does every night, she arranges the pillows in between them to make Ayden feel safe.She trusts him, believes that little by little, she wi

Four and a half years earlier"I don't want anyone near my son," Ayden tells his father."If you had listened to me, none of this would be happening," Gerard scolds his son. "If you and Arya were married now, she might not have left.""But understand that it's not your decision who comes or goes from my life!" he asserts with a frustrated look.Gerard had cornered him at a moment of weakness."My grandson needs a mother. The warmth of a woman is always good for a man," he resolves aloud.Ayden, who had once been affected by his father's mantra, doesn't want the same to happen to him."I don't care what you think. You wanted descendants, now you have them," objects Ayden Emory, the millionaire who, unable to contradict his father, has acquiesced to his wishes.Gerard bursts into a self-satisfied laugh. He enjoys feeling that he has power over his children. Ayden, noticing his father's arrogance, leaves his office angrily.All day he had meditated on what the Emory patriarch had propose

Ayden and Arya arrived at the hospital. The young doctor had already informed her friend, and he would meet them there. They had also informed Dr. Swan that Ayden Emory's father was hospitalized. Despite all the chaos, and curiously, no one thought to call him Mark and inform him. However, when they arrived and inquired about the condition of his father, Ayden tried to contact his brother without success."Mr. Emory is already in surgery," informs the nurse in charge in the emergency area. Dr. Swan quickly approached when she noticed their presence and provided details about what had happened. She explained that Mr. Emory had been physically attacked and shot. He had been shot twice and needed emergency surgery due to internal bleeding."We still can't determine his condition. He entered surgery not long ago," Dr. Swan explained, checking the emergency log. "But it's important to understand the risks associated with this type of procedure," she added with professionalism. "I've put th
