Sarah’s breath caught in her throat. The scent of accelerant burned her nostrils as Mia stood there like a beautiful demon, lighter flickering dangerously close to the rack of finished “Reborn” dresses — the heart of her upcoming Paris collection.“You’re insane,” Sarah whispered, slowly backing away while keeping her eyes locked on Mia. Her hand gripped the burner phone tightly behind her back, fingers pressing the emergency button Alex had installed.Mia smiled sweetly, tilting her head. “Insane? No, darling. I’m just taking back what should have been mine from the start. You were never worthy of the Vexler name. And now look at you….playing dress-up like some pathetic Cinderella. Ronan and I will make sure this little fairy tale ends tonight.”Mia took a step forward. The flame danced closer to the silk fabric.Sarah’s mind raced. She couldn’t let these dresses burn. They represented everything she had fought for her freedom, her talent, her future.“You won’t get away with this,”

Sarah woke up the next morning with a heavy heart. The threatening video of Shenina playing in the school garden still haunted her. She immediately increased security around her daughter and informed the school principal about the situation. Alex was already coordinating with their private investigation team to trace the video’s origin.She refused to let fear paralyze her. Instead, Sarah channeled everything into her work. Lumina Designs was gaining serious momentum. The collaboration with Elena Voss had opened doors to high-profile clients. Two European luxury retailers had just signed major contracts, and a famous Hollywood actress had worn one of her gowns to a premiere, sparking even more buzz.Every small victory was a quiet slap to Ronan’s face.That afternoon, Sarah attended a high-society charity luncheon as a featured designer. She wore a custom cream-colored dress from her latest collection—elegant, powerful, and understated. Alex accompanied her, looking every bit the succ

Alex sat beside her. He didn’t pressure Sarah to talk. He simply held her hand quietly.“You don’t have to tell me everything right now,” Alex said softly. “But whatever it is, we’ll face it together.”Sarah let out a long breath. She stared at the city lights flickering in the distance. Deep down, she knew the secret wasn’t something shameful. It was an old wound she had buried long ago. But if it was exposed in court, things could become complicated.They remained on the balcony until late into the night. Shenina was already fast asleep inside. Hanosa checked the doors and windows for the third time before finally going to rest. The house felt peaceful, yet tense.Morning came slowly.Sarah woke up early. She stood in front of the bathroom mirror, splashing water on her face. Her eyes were slightly puffy, but she forced herself to stay strong. Today, she had to focus. There was no room for fear.In the kitchen, Alex had already prepared a simple breakfast. Shenina came in with her h

Alex sat beside her on the sofa in the family room. Only a dim light was on. The house was completely quiet because Shenina was already fast asleep.“Who were they talking about?” Alex asked softly.Sarah shook her head. “I don’t know. Only a few people knew about what happened back then. Clara was one of them. But it seems someone else has been keeping silent all this time and has now decided to come forward.”They didn’t say much after that. Sarah simply stared out at the dark window. Outside, the city was still alive, but inside her chest, the tension continued to grow.She knew the next hearing would be a much tougher battlefield.Morning came slowly. Sarah woke up early and stood by the bedroom window for a long time. The sky was still gray. She decided not to give in to fear.Today, she had to keep moving forward as usual.In the kitchen, Alex had already prepared some warm tea. Shenina appeared with a sleepy face and immediately hugged Sarah from the side.“Mommy, are you going

That morning, Sarah woke up with her head feeling heavy. The message from the night before was still fresh in her mind.Clara had revealed more.The second person was going to contact Ronan’s lawyer today.Time was running out.Alex was already sitting on the edge of the bed when Sarah opened her eyes. He handed her a glass of warm water.“We’ll take today one step at a time,” he said calmly. “There’s no need to rush into making the wrong move.”Sarah nodded.She showered and got dressed with deliberate movements. In the kitchen, Shenina was eating cereal while excitedly talking about her plans to draw at school.Sarah listened attentively.That small moment reminded her why she had to stay strong.After dropping Shenina off, Sarah and Alex went straight to the lawyer’s office.The atmosphere in the conference room was serious. Her lawyer had already prepared several notes.“We need to take action,” the lawyer said. “If the second person really contacts Ronan’s side today, they’ll bec
