~Robert's POV~“Mick, I really need your help!” I said as we sat in the lounge. I knew I needed men if I was going to go against the Black Wolves.“Man, you know I’ve always had your back and supported you,” he replied. “But I don’t want those thugs in my territory.”“Please… this is about the life of someone I love.”Mick laughed at my words.“Are you a lover boy now? The Robert I know was never weakened by love.”“I care about Mia, honestly. Even if she doesn’t love me yet, I can’t bear the thought of any harm coming to her.”“Gosh, man. You’ve changed,” Mick said with a shake of his head. “But I’ll always support you, no matter what. We go way back.”“Thanks, man. I knew I could count on you.”“So when are we moving?”“Tonight.”As we made preparations to rescue Mia, I couldn’t help but think back to everything that had led me here. Before I met Mick, I got into a street fight and was captured by Santiago’s men. Those days were terrifying—I was beaten daily and forced to do hard la

~Robert’s POV~As I held Mia close, I could feel the weight of her pain. Life had not been kind to her. Surviving those years without a mother and still managing to stay strong through the storms—how did she do it? I’d never heard her cry so closely before, but now, every sob pierced my soul. Her grief was raw. Her heart, heavy. And I knew then—this girl carried more than her share of sorrow.She eventually drifted off to sleep against my shoulder while I gently patted her back. But as the truth unraveled, it hit me hard: she’s Elizabeth’s daughter. The golden bracelet she had in her possession—the golden bracelet—was the last missing piece. The one link that could destroy Richard and finally expose the filth behind his carefully polished name.Once I ensured she was stable and instructed the nurses to provide anything she might need, I stepped out. There was only one person who could give me answers now—Victoria.“What a pleasant surprise,” Victoria said coolly as she descended from

~Mia’s POV~“Robert Lud has made a public statement regarding the escape of Mia Lud from the den of hoodlums. He has denied the rumours about the nature of their relationship with the Cops. According to him, those stories were false, and there is no feud between the Lud family and the police. He clarified that their dealings have been purely business-related…”I sat watching the news, listening to Robert’s calm voice as he addressed the public about my escape and return. If this had happened to someone else, I might’ve believed every word on the screen. But now I know—not all news is true.Robert had to redirect public attention away from me so I could recover in peace. But did I escape on my own? No. He had rescued me—risked everything and fled from the police, claiming he didn’t want them involved.Are there parts of Robert I still don’t know? Yes.His connections… his wealth… Everything about him remains a mystery.I stood up and walked slowly around the house, enjoying the serenit

~Robert’s POV~I paused, my heart racing with disbelief at what I’d just heard. I glanced at Mick, and I could tell he was just as curious and alarmed.“What did you say?” I asked, needing confirmation.“I have your mother's diary,” Victoria repeated.I scoffed, forcing back the tears that threatened to fall. I didn’t want to believe her. Could it really be true?“I’ll be on my way,” I said and hung up the call. I stood, ready to leave, but Mick held me back.“You have to be careful, man. Victoria isn’t someone to trust when it comes to revenge,” Mick warned sincerely.“I know. But I have to get to the bottom of this,” I replied and walked out.I drove at full speed toward the mansion. It was already past 10 p.m., and I’d been away from Mia for hours. I didn’t want her waking up alone.There was a reason I hadn’t brought her to the mansion. Victoria was there. My father was there. The tension would’ve been unbearable for her. And what did home mean anymore? A place full of cold stares

~MIA POV~I sat next to Robert quietly as we drove home in his sleek Rolex modern SUV. I wished we could have stayed longer at the villa, but I had to resume work. Robert had been unusually quiet throughout the drive. I wondered what was on his mind—or perhaps why he wasn’t his usual chatty self.Even his silence felt out of place for someone like him."Finally, we’re home. I hope we visit the villa again someday," I said, trying to lift the mood. But Robert didn’t respond."Get down," was all he said next, and I stood stunned.I stepped out of the car, expecting he’d help me with my small bag, but instead, he walked away, sending a maid to retrieve it.Yeah… back to the JR mansion. Back to a life of stiffness and Robert’s awkward silence.As I walked into the mansion, I was greeted by a beautiful breakfast setting."Now I see why he’s acting like this," I whispered to myself.We were having a family breakfast. The entire family would be present—including Victoria. I was already dress
