George’s POVI stared deeply at Scarlett. I was supposed to talk to Audrey, to confirm Nick’s suspicion, but she wasn’t around. Then I heard that her partner, Scarlett Carlson, was here, and my heart started racing.Miss Carlson.Not married? A quiet celebration erupted inside me.I didn’t even need to look for her. She was right here. At last.At first, I thought I was hallucinating earlier. But no, it really was her I saw.I still remembered the last time we met, her tears. Her cries haunted me for weeks. I had so many questions, and now, she might be the only one who could answer them.But why does she still look the same? Why is there fear in her eyes whenever she faces me? Was it still because of Jessica?Now that we’re standing face-to-face again, I want to hear the truth from her. But she was clearly avoiding me.So I had to find a way.If I have to use Jessica to draw her closer, I will. I know she loves Jessica.I noticed how uneasy she was under my gaze. She was obviously un

Nicholas’ POV“Dad, drink this!”A cute Dylan came into the room while I was busy reading documents. I smiled, closed the folder, and lifted him onto my lap.“Thank you, buddy. Sorry, I forgot to ask earlier… how was your first day of school?”“It’s fine. I made friends,” he answered, sounding like a little adult.“Really? That’s good to hear. Did you enjoy?”“Uhm… I can’t say yes yet. Some of my classmates… they’re crying babies.”I laughed. “I see.”“But… I have a classmate who’s strong.”“Really? Why do you think that classmate is strong?”“’Coz… she fought the bully.”My jaw tightened. I looked at him carefully and held his shoulders.“Bully? Someone’s hurting you? Who was it?”He avoided my eyes.“Uhm… No.”He was hiding something. I knew my son. He never lies, but sometimes… he chooses not to speak. I took a deep breath.“Dylan, if anyone bullies you, or even your friends, you have to tell me. Okay? I want to know the good and the bad things that happen in school. Can you promis

Dylan’s POV“Dylan, wait! You walk too fast!” Aiah shouted as she tried to catch up behind me.I ignored her. I just kept walking, not even glancing her way.“Tsk! My bag is heavy! I can’t catch up. Can you help me, please?” she whined, but I chose to stay silent.“Hey! You! Ungrateful brat! I told you to help me!” she yelled in frustration, clearly losing her patience.I stopped and turned to look at her. Her face was dark, brows furrowed, lips pouting, hands on her hips, like she was about to unleash a storm. She dropped her lunch box and trolley bag with a dramatic thud, like she was tearing the world apart with her annoyance.Quietly, I walked up to her. Without a word, I grabbed her trolley bag and started walking again.“Hihi, thank you…” she said with a giggle, swaying beside me as if she hadn’t just scolded me moments ago.“By the way, Dylan… your dad’s really handsome. What if we set him up with my mom?” Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she said it, clearly thrilled with

Scarlett’s POVI could hear the sharp exchange between Audrey and Nick. Instead of feeling tense, I couldn’t help but smile. Honestly, I was glad to hear Audrey pushing back at him. Maybe this was the kind of strength Jessica should’ve had before, not just loving Nick with her whole heart, but also knowing how to fight for herself. She gave him everything, and that’s why she ended up so hurt.I shook my head.Instead of approaching them, I went straight into my office. I still had a lot to finish, and I was planning to head home early. I wanted to take Aiah to the mall. It was Friday, no school tomorrow, we could stay out late.But even as I focused on the papers in front of me, Nick’s words from the other day lingered. How was I supposed to tell George about Aiah? I’d tried countless times to form the right words in my head, but I always fell short.And Audrey… spending time with her felt like a new beginning. Yes, most of our talks were still about work, but we’d started laughing a

Sage’s POVI could clearly hear from inside the station the heated argument between Elena, the female investigator who had the guts to arrest me, and their chief.“Elena, what have you done? Why did you arrest someone who has nothing to do with the operation? Do you even know who the man you handcuffed is?” the chief asked sharply.“Chief, he was at the crime scene. You can’t blame me for suspecting him,” Elena defended, her tone firm.“He already told you he was just passing by, why didn’t you listen?” the chief snapped back in frustration.“Sir, only a fool would believe that alibi. Passing by? I saw how he was watching the transaction,” she answered, her voice filled with pride and defiance.I could only shake my head at their exchange.Earlier, I was doing an observation on illegal operations. Then this woman caught me off guard and handcuffed me, a woman, for God’s sake! I was too stunned to react. And I didn’t want to cause a scene, so I didn’t fight back.“This is humiliating,”
