Gabriel's POVNagising ako sa mabagal na paghinga ni Elise sa tabi ko. Nakatagilid siya, buhok niya nakakalat sa unan, at may bakas pa ng kagabi sa balat niya—mga marka ng init, mga alaala ng gabing parehong gusto naming kalimutan at alalahanin.Pero may isang bagay na hindi ko kayang balewalain.Daniel.Napapikit ako sandali, huminga nang malalim. Kagabi, nalunod kami sa isa’t isa—sa init, sa sakit, sa pananabik. Nakalimutan namin ang katotohanang may multong nagbabalik. Isang multo na may lakas ng loob na kunin ang anak ko.Ang anak namin.Maingat akong bumangon, hinila ang kumot para hindi siya magising. Lumakad ako papunta sa bintana, pinanood ang umagang unti-unting pumapasok sa kwarto. Sa liwanag ng araw, mas malinaw ang lahat.Hindi na pwedeng takbuhan ‘to.Hindi ko hahayaang lapitan ni Daniel si Sofia. O si Elise.Tumunog ang phone ko.Isang mensahe.Unknown Number: “Good morning, Gabriel. Mukhang masaya kayo kagabi. Sana ganyan ka rin kasaya kapag nalaman mo ang totoo.”Nanla

Gabriel's POVThere are men who hide their demons. And then there are men who become them when pushed.Daniel Monteclaros made one fatal mistake—He thought court was the battlefield.He thought I’d play clean.I was in my office when the call came.Not from Elise.Not from the nanny.From an unfamiliar number.I answered anyway.“Mr. Navarro,” a man’s voice said calmly. “You might want to check the news.”The line went dead.Seconds later, my phone exploded with notifications.Articles. Headlines.BUSINESS TYCOON GABRIEL NAVARRO LINKED TO ILLEGAL TRANSACTIONS.ANONYMOUS SOURCE CLAIMS CHILD USED AS LEVERAGE.My jaw clenched.Daniel.I slammed my fist on the desk.That son of a bitch wasn’t trying to win custody anymore.He was trying to destroy me.I didn’t panic.I smiled.Because now… I didn’t have to pretend.Elise's POVI knew something was wrong the moment I couldn’t reach Gabriel.Three calls.Nothing.Then my phone rang.“Ma’am,” the nanny said, her voice shaking. “Someone was

Elise's POVThey thought Gabriel was their only enemy. Akala nila, I’m just a victim waiting to be saved, yung sunud-sunuran lang at laging nasa likuran niya nag aantay at laging pino-protektahan. Diyan sila nag kaka-mali.Today is the day para matapos na ang lahat ng ito.Tinitigan ko ang sarili ko sa salamin; I’m wearing black. Not because I’m sad, but because this is war and we will make sure this will end today.“Ready ka na?” tanong ni Gabriel. I turned to face him, my gaze steady. Walang bahid ng takot. Because I know this time we will again.“I’ve been ready,” sagot ko. And that’s when I realized—he’s not going to intervene. Not because he’s weak, but because he chose to let me take the lead this time.Lumabas na kami ng mansyon para tumungo sa court.Gabriel’s POVNasa loob kami ng sasakyan, pasulyap-sulyap ako kay Elise. She's so focus sa mga papel na hawak niya, napangiti ako, alam ko pagod na sya sa lahat ng drama na nang yayari sa buhay namin.Matapos kong i park ang sasak

Gabriel's POV Nararamdaman ko ang bigat sa aking mga braso, pero hindi ko ito pinapansin.Ang tanging nasa isip ko ay ang pagod na mukha ni Elise, her lips slightly parted at ang mabagal niyang paghinga, she was completly exhausted.Despite all the exhaustion, the details of our wedding were still more important to her than restDahan-dahan ko siyang binuhat, her head slumped onto my shoulder.Her scent—a blend of lavender and her own sweet fragrance—wrapped around me. I felt the warmth of her body against mine, the soft fabric of her clothes brushing my skin. I walked carefully, making sure each step wouldn’t wake her. Nang makarating kami sa itaas, dahan-dahan kong binuksan ang pinto ng aming kwarto gamit ang aking siko.The room was dark, with only the light from outside serving as a guide. Maingat ko siyang inihiga sa kama, ang kanyang ulo ay lumubog sa malambot na unan.Kinuha ko yung notebook na hawak-hawak niya at nilagay sa maliit na mesa katabi ng bed nain. Tatayo na sana
