The hall had fallen into a hush.The murmurs, the clicking of cameras, the shifting of chairs—everything stilled as every head turned toward the doorway.Isabel stood there, her hands clenched tightly by her sides, eyes glistening with tears. Her sharp and fierce gaze was fixed on David at the podium.David didn’t speak right away. He studied her in silence, his jaw set, his face giving nothing away.It was Isabel who broke it.“Tell me; how do you explain,” she repeated, “that a mother left her only child—her sick child she loved with all her heart, a boy who had suffered from a congenital heart condition—and fled the country? Is that even possible?”The moment Isabel had found out about David’s press interview, she knew she couldn’t stay away. The firestorm she had stirred online—those carefully timed posts, the emotional plea to the public—was finally paying off. She had forced him to finally come out and speak.And yet, as she stood there, watching him smear Allison’s name in fron

Emma stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself.

His hold wasn’t rough, but it was firm enough to make her stop.He looked up at her, his gaze deep and sharp.“In your eyes,” he said slowly, “I may be an incompetent father… but Claire is my child. And I won’t let you take her away from me again.”Emma froze.“She’s my daughter too,” he went on. “She needs to be close to me. Not just for short visits or whatever you call it.”Emma’s lips parted slightly, but she didn’t speak.David’s eyes narrowed. “ And If you’re worried about Allison… or Henry… don’t be. Allison, Isabel, or any other woman—” his jaw tightened “—will never appear in front of you or cause any trouble again.”At the mention of Allison’s name, a sharp shift happened in the air. David's gaze flickered briefly, h
