Lahat ng Kabanata ng SAVED BY MY BROTHERS : Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Zara couldn’t believe her ears.For a moment, the words echoed in her mind, refusing to settle into meaning. This had to be a joke… a cruel misunderstanding that would be corrected any second. But the judge had already risen, his robe sweeping behind him as he disappeared through the courtroom door.It was over.The low murmur of voices filled the room, but Zara heard nothing. Her world had gone silent. She stood frozen, her heart pounding so violently it felt as though it might tear through her chest.Lilly was her only reason for living. Her light. Her comfort. The one pure, unwavering love she had left in this world. And now… she had to stay away from her for three whole months.Three months.It sounded like a lifetime.A sharp ache spread through her chest, stealing her breath. Dante and his family had never liked her; she knew that. They had always looked at her as though she were an obstacle, something standing in their way. And now they have won.Victor, Maya, and Mrs. Ashford

Dante’s POVWinning wasn’t optional.It was necessary.Dante leaned back in his office chair, fingers tapping slowly against the mahogany desk. Losing the case had never been part of his plan so he made sure it wouldn’t happen.He picked up the intercom. “Call my secretary in.”Moments later, the door opened.“Sir?”“Check among the judges who work in family courts,” Dante said calmly. “I want names. Backgrounds. Connections.”The man nodded and left immediately.Minutes later, he returned with a small file. “These are the current family court judges, sir.”Dante scanned the list.Then he smiled.He recognized one of the names.Without hesitation, he picked up his phone and dialed.The call connected after two rings.“Can I meet you for coffee?” Dante asked casually.There was a brief pause… then a warm chuckle from the other end. “Of course.”They met at a quiet café later that afternoon.“Dante, ,” the judge

Suddenly, Zara’s phone rang.It was Victor.“Zara, I got the video Dante and the judge were talking about the bribe in the courtroom. I’ve sent it to Dante. Trust me, we are going to get Lilly back tonight.”Zara sighed slowly. Is that why he looks so terrified now? she wondered. This isn’t good for him.“Where are you?” she asked calmly.“I’m sitting right in front of him at a café.”“Okay. Send me your location now. I’m coming right away.”“Alright.”Zara ended the call and looked firmly at the stressed Dante sitting across from her. His face had lost its color, and for the first time, she could see fear in his eyes.Tonight was going to change everything.“So, Dante… Here's the deal,” Zara said with a faint smile . “Give me back my daughter and stay away from us. No one will know about this video, and no one will ever find out about the true monster you are.”Dante nervously placed his hands on the table. As Zara’s eyes fell on his ring, her breath caught in her throat.The ring.M

Zara woke up early.The message from the unknown number had kept her mind restless all night.Was there a problem at the orphanage?She needed to deal with this first. Dante and everything else could wait.As she slowly sat up, a small hand grabbed hers.“Mommy… don’t leave me… they are going to beat me…” Lilly whispered in her sleep.Zara froze.Her heart shattered all over again.“What exactly did those monsters do to my child in such a short time?” she wondered, anger rising in her chest.She gently patted Lilly’s back until she fell back into a peaceful sleep. It was still early; she didn’t want to wake Maya or Victor. Quietly, she left a note on the fridge:Good morning. Gone to the orphanage. I’ll be back soon.And then she left.When she arrived at the orphanage, a strange chill ran through her.Memories flooded back Sister Evelyn’s warm smile, the laughter that once filled the halls. But now…The place felt empty.Cold.Chaotic.“Hey.”A voice from behind startled her.She tu

Marcus stood frozen, his expression stricken with disbelief as he turned toward the young woman standing beside his mother. Rosey, too, looked visibly unsettled, her fingers curling nervously at her sides.“Before anything else,” Mrs. Ashford said with calm authority, “Rosey, this is your elder brother, Marcus. He looks like a mess because he happened to meet a rather rude woman on his way here.”Rosey swallowed hard.She was that rude woman.Heat crept up her neck as the memory replayed in her mind the sharp words, the impatient glare, the complete lack of courtesy. She had never imagined the stranger she dismissed so carelessly would turn out to be her brother.To her astonishment, Marcus suddenly smiled.“Oh, hey.” He extended his hand as though nothing unpleasant had occurred between them. “I’m really happy to finally see you, sister. I would give you a hug, but I look terrible right now. Let me take a quick bath, and then we’ll catch up properly. I’ve always wanted to meet you.”
