All Chapters of HIS ONE NIGHT, MY FOREVER : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Alina’s POVEvery decision we made now, every precaution, was for him and the new life growing inside me.By evening, the mansion felt alive again, filled with a sense of purpose. Sebastian and I took a quiet moment in the library, sitting across from one another. “We’ve faced storms before,” I said softly, tracing the rim of my coffee cup. “And we survived. This… this will be no different.”He reached across the table, his hand covering mine, warmth and reassurance threading through his touch. “We’ll survive because we’re together. Nothing can break that.”For the first time in weeks, I allowed myself to believe him completely. The past would continue to whisper, shadows would linger but the present, this fragile, luminous present, was ours to hold.Night fell, and the mansion was quiet, except for the steady rhythm of Leo’s breathing upstairs. I stood at the balcony, staring at the stars, feeling the baby move inside me. A gentle kick, a reminder of life and hope. I whispered prom

Alina’s POVEvery calm moment feels temporary, as if the storm is only waiting to strike.”“Then we keep building light,” he said. “One brick at a time. One wall at a time. Until even the shadows can’t find a place to hide.”Later, we gathered with Lucia in the library. She had brought new information, unconfirmed leads of operatives attempting to infiltrate financial channels linked to Sebastian’s company, as well as subtle attempts to manipulate Vanessa into revealing personal details. The network was not entirely dismantled; its remnants were clever and patient.“They’re testing boundaries,” Lucia said, tapping the laptop screen. “Each probe is designed to gauge reactions, measure defenses, and find weaknesses. But I’ve traced patterns, routes, methods, communication styles. We can anticipate their moves now.”Sebastian frowned. “And Vanessa? Is she safe?”“She is,” Lucia confirmed. “She’s being careful, but she doesn’t yet understand the scope of the threat. It could be danger

Alina’s POVBy afternoon, Leo wandered in with a curious frown, holding a small toy car. “Mommy, Daddy, are there really bad people outside?”I knelt to his level, brushing a stray curl from his forehead. “Sometimes,” I said honestly. “But we are very careful, and we have people who protect us. You’re safe here, always.”Sebastian crouched beside him, smiling gently. “We will always protect you, Leo. No one can hurt you or your little sibling.”Leo’s face brightened, his trust in us absolute. I wanted to preserve that purity at all costs. The world could be cruel, but inside these walls, we had a chance to shield him.As evening approached, Sebastian and I found a rare quiet moment together in the study. The fire flickered, casting shadows across the walls, and for a brief time, the tension ebbed. He reached for my hand, his eyes earnest.“I know the past has left scars,” he said. “But we’ve faced it together. Every threat, every betrayal, every fear… we endured. And now we can face w

Alina’s POV The fire flickered, casting shadows across the walls, a comforting contrast to the tension that always lingered. He reached across the table, taking my hand in his.“We’ve endured betrayal, fear, and manipulation,” he said softly. “But together, we’ve rebuilt. Every day, I’ll continue proving that I am committed, to you, to Leo, and to the baby. I will protect this family, no matter the cost.”I looked into his eyes and saw sincerity. “Actions speak louder than words,” I whispered. “I need to see them every day.”“I will,” he promised, his grip firm on my hand. “Every day, in every way. Shadows may linger, but they won’t dictate our lives.”After dinner, I retreated to the nursery. The baby stirred gently, a subtle reminder of life continuing despite the encroaching threats. I whispered softly, promises of protection, love, and courage. Whoever watched from the shadows, whoever hoped to exploit our vulnerabilities, would find a united, vigilant, and unbreakable family wa

Alina’s POVHe brushed a strand of hair from my face and pressed a gentle kiss to my temple. “You’ve built something extraordinary,” he whispered. “Even with betrayal and threats surrounding us, you’ve held this family together. You’ve built a foundation strong enough to withstand anything.”I placed my hand over his. “We’re strong because we fight for each other. But danger is still out there. Every step, every decision must be measured.”“We will handle it,” he said firmly. “But we will also live, laugh, and love. The shadows may linger, but they will never consume us. Not while we stand together.”Night fell, the mansion settling into a tense quiet. Leo slept upstairs, the baby shifted gently inside me, and security systems hummed softly in the background. Strength, I realized, was not the absence of fear, but the resolve to act despite it.Tonight, we drew another line in the sand. Tomorrow would bring the confrontation we had anticipated—the network’s first direct move toward
