Chapter 121It was five in the morning. The rain had stopped, leaving a thin layer of dew on the windows of Rebecca's apartment. In the living room, Samuel was still asleep on the sofa, a thin blanket covering half of his body."Daddy..." the small voice woke him up gently.Samuel slowly opened his eyes. Reno was standing next to the sofa, holding a small dinosaur toy in his hand.“Hmm? Sweetheart?” Samuel mumbled, rubbing his eyes. “You woke up so early, son.”“Yes,” Reno replied, nodding. “I had a bad dream, so I woke up.”Samuel sat up immediately and pulled Reno into his embrace. “Come here… Daddy will hug you.”Reno hugged him tightly, resting his face against Samuel’s chest. Samuel kissed Reno’s cheek repeatedly. “Daddy loves you,” Samuel said, stroking the child’s hair. “I love Daddy too.” After a few seconds, Samuel placed Reno on the floor and asked, yawning, “Where’s Mommy?” “She’s cooking in the kitchen,” Reno answered innocently.Without hesitation, Samuel stood up

Nine o’clock in the morning. The five-star hotel in the city center was starting to get crowded. Members of the media were getting ready in the conference hall, equipped with cameras, microphones, and small notepads in hand. They had heard that Samuel Wilson, the most influential billionaire in the city, would be holding an important press conference. But what would be announced—remained a mystery.Inside a black car parked in the hotel basement, Nora Ariana stared at her phone. She reread Samuel’s message from the night before:[Press conference tomorrow. Come. There will be a surprise for you.]Nora gave a slight smile. “Finally, Samuel will announce our official wedding plans. It's about time,” she muttered confidently. She adjusted her lipstick, sprayed perfume on her neck, then stepped out of the car. With a steady stride, she walked toward the elevator.Meanwhile, in the conference room, Samuel, Rebecca, Reno, and Bani were already in place. Samuel wore a neat suit and sat in th

Nora sat at the edge of her hotel bed. Her eyes stared blankly out the window. One hand supported her chin while the other held her phone. She took a deep breath, then dialed the same number—for what felt like the hundredth time.This time, the call went through."Finally... you actually picked up," Nora said coldly.The voice on the other end sounded relaxed, almost mocking.“Nora Ariana... today’s viral celebrity. So, how’s that career of yours going? Haha…”“Chiko, don’t play games.”Chiko chuckled.“Games? I’m just enjoying your drama. It’s everywhere now. You saw the trending topics, right? Even your fanbase is falling apart. That Telegram group you made? The admin already left.”“Enough, Chiko!” Nora snapped angrily. “Do you think I’m enjoying any of this? I was humiliated in public!”“Well... no one told you to lie about being the little girl savior from the past. That story was way too much like a soap opera, Nora.”“I didn’t call you to be judged,” Nora shot back quickly. “I

As soon as Samuel stepped into the Wilson Group lobby, the atmosphere immediately felt different from usual. Some employees were whispering to each other, while others glanced at Samuel with confused expressions. A few even looked nervous as they glanced at him from behind the reception desk.Samuel raised an eyebrow, puzzled. “What’s going on?” he muttered.Just as he entered the elevator, his assistant—Bani—appeared.“Mr. Samuel, you should head straight to the CEO's office before the meeting. There’s something important we need to discuss.”The elevator dinged, and the doors opened. On the executive floor, things felt even stranger. More whispering, strange looks, and a few awkward smiles greeted him.“Good afternoon, Mr. Samuel,” one of the division managers said awkwardly.Samuel simply nodded and returned the smile. “What’s really going on?” he asked flatly.The manager gave a stiff smile and quickly walked away. Samuel grew more suspicious. Shortly after, he arrived at the CEO’

Samuel let out a long sigh as the door to the small apartment swung open. But inside, it was silent. He stepped in, draped his jacket over the back of a chair, and called softly.“Rebecca?”Silence. No answer. Samuel frowned, his eyes scanning the tiny room. Then he grabbed his phone and dialed a number he knew by heart.The line rang, but no one picked up. Samuel tried again. Still nothing.“Why won’t you answer your phone, Rebecca…” he muttered, his voice laced with growing unease.Samuel began pacing the floor. He grabbed his phone again, this time dialing Reno’s number. The same result—disconnected. His breathing grew heavier.Then his phone vibrated. An incoming call. The name flashing on the screen made his brow furrow. Liam Zayden.Samuel pressed the green button. “Liam?” His voice was icy.“Samuel, don’t get angry yet. I just want to make sure Rebecca is safe.”“She’s with you?” Samuel’s tone rose, his eyes burning red.There was a pause before Liam replied. “Yes. Rebecca and
