Auntie Bella brought Natalie dinner when it was ready. Even though she did not know who she was and why she was there, she had worked for Ivan long enough and knew not to ask a lot.She just needed to do her work and let him handle his own things.But she had some suspicions in her heart. From the time she could remember, she had never seen her boss, Ivan, pay attention to any lady. This girl here was the first one.And to even think that he willingly left Carter in her hands... Who exactly was she? And why was she even in that house?"Thank you, Auntie Bella," Natalie said appreciatively when she was handed the plate of food.After playing with Carter for some time, she had gotten some appetite. And she thought that she even felt hungry for the first time in hours."You are welcome my dear," Auntie Sam replied with a smile and looked at Carter. "Come on dear. It is time for you to have dinner too..."However, the next moment, the kid was already shaking his head. "No..."Auntie Bella

Ivan was a bit silent as he stared at her. And she could not fathom his thoughts. However, she waited patiently. She did not care if it was going to kill her. The man was already helping her a lot! She could not rush him. She needed to be patient."You can go home tomorrow and check up on them," he said. But his voice was a bit off. He did not want to part with her so soon. But he could also not keep her there when she needed to be with her family.However, all that Natalie heard were the first words. She sat up tensely. "You found them? Are they home already?" She asked."They will be home by morning," he said. But he was feeling sad for her.Natalie could not help it but rashly wrap her hands around him. "Thank you so much," she said, a tear falling from her eyes.Ivan hugged her and comforted her. "I am happy to help, okay? Just tell me if you need anything else.""Thank you again," Natalie said. Finally, she was sure that the two were safe.But...She pulled away from the hug and

Natalie's heart sank as she stepped out of the elevator and into the familiar hallway of her family's apartment building. Her steps were heavy, weighed down by the knowledge that her mother was gone. The memories of the attack still lingered in her mind, and the image of her mother lying lifeless on the floor was etched into her memory.As she walked towards her family's apartment, she noticed a crowd of people gathered outside. She could not help but wonder if the gathering had something to do with her family's tragedy. Her heart began to race, and she felt a sense of dread settle in the pit of her stomach.Approaching the crowd, she could see that some of them were looking at her, pointing in her direction. For a moment, she froze, unsure of what to do. But then she heard a familiar voice calling out to her, and she turned to see her brother, Scott."Brother?" she called out, her voice shaking with emotion.The other people in the crowd pointed towards her, and a woman she did not r

Logan arrived at Mr Shine's house two days after the burial of Mrs Shine. Of course, he was present at the cemetery, but neither he nor Riwel Shine had a chance of talking to each other.He was nervous and unsure of how the meeting would go, given the events of the past few days. He knocked on the door, and Mr Shine answered.He was Logan after all and he was not scared of anything. And he had studied Mr Shine over the years, he knew very well that he would not be chased out.Mr Shine slightly opened the door and was surprised to see Logan. It had been a few days since they talked. And more, so many things happened in those two days."Logan, it is good to see you. Come in," Mr Shine said, opening the door wider.Logan stepped inside with a little sly smile on his lips and looked at the familiar surroundings. It had been a while since he had been in this house, but it felt like no time had passed. Mr Shine motioned for Logan to sit down, and he took a seat on the couch. He did not spe

Ivan woke up as usual, and his morning routine was well-established. He took a shower, got dressed, and headed to the dining room to have breakfast. However, his routine was abruptly interrupted by a loud shriek from Carter. Ivan rushed to his son's room, only to find him throwing a tantrum.Carter was crying uncontrollably, thrashing around on his bed, and throwing toys everywhere. Auntie Bella was standing at the side, not sure about what to do.Ivan tried to calm him down, but his son refused to be comforted. He had never seen the child like that."What is wrong, Carter?" Ivan asked with a sigh, trying to remain calm despite the chaos."Natie! I want Natie!" Carter wailed, kicking his legs and flailing his arms.Ivan frowned. Why was he crying for her all of a sudden? He thought they had agreed that they would go looking for her once everything had settled!"Not now, Carter!" Ivan said while shaking his head. "She is still..."But Carter's tantrum only escalated. He cried even loud
