Chapter 201: Stepping Foot in the Dragon’s Den

They arrived home, the lively atmosphere they had left with now completely drained. Mostly because of Autumn’s mood. She was still shaking, quietly crying, with a few soft sniffles escaping every now and then.Ezra got out first, walked around to her side, and opened the door. He leaned down to face her.“Come on, Tum-Tum. Let’s get you inside. It’s cold out here,” he coaxed gently, wrapping an arm around her and leading her toward the building.They rode the elevator in silence, his arm never leaving her shoulders as he guided her to her floor. Once inside the apartment, he ushered her to the couch.He disappeared into the kitchen and returned with a glass of lukewarm water, hoping it would help with both the headache and the tears she had lost. He offered it to her and watched as she took it with trembling hands, then gulped it down quickly.“Do you want to talk about it?” he asked softly, sitting on the coffee table across from her and giving her his full attention.“I–it’s jus–t…”

Chapter 202: Ruthless Conditions

She walked out of the bedroom still clutching the phone to her chest like a form of safety. Her steps were lighter and a bit more composed than before.“You seem better.” Ezra turned his head toward the door when he heard it open and close. “What happened? Did your ex agree for you to see your child? Did he agree for you to spend Christmas with him?” He asked a barrage of questions the moment he saw that Autumn looked calmer.She moved to sit down, taking the same couch as him but leaving enough space between them. “I spoke to him,” she stated.“And?” he asked, impatience slipping into his voice.“He said I should come to the house tomorrow,” she answered, responding to his frantic questions.“What do you mean by that?” he asked again.She let out a soft sigh, gently caressing her knees as she spoke. “He is willing to consider it.” She took in a breath and continued slowly. “He is willing to let me see my son.”Ezra folded his arms across his chest and let out a tsk of disapproval. “I

Chapter 203: The Deed And The Sacrifice

Eric, what is this?” Autumn asked, confusion written all over her face.“As you can read, it’s a sales agreement,” he replied coldly.“What does a sales agreement have to do with me? I came here to talk about our son. I came here to talk about our child’s wellbeing,” she reiterated.“And that’s exactly what those papers are for.” He pointed at the document on the table. Dread washed through her bones at his words.She instantly flipped to the first page and froze when she saw the heading.**Sales Agreement for the Kingston Estate and Liberty Mansion in Monaco**Her blood ran cold. She tried to read further, but her chest felt tight.“You want to buy the Kingston Estate from me?” she asked in a hushed whisper, terrified of what he might say if she refused.“Yes. And the other property in Monaco,” he retorted.“Why?” she asked softly, her voice breaking.“Because I don’t need your charity,” he huffed arrogantly.“You don’t need my charity? What about you staying here? Wasn’t that charit

Chapter 204

The irony of the entire situation wasn’t lost on her. It was just like a few weeks ago, but this time the circumstances were completely different.Autumn sat on the plush leather seat with her legs crossed, staring into space. Her mind kept replaying everything. The beverage she had been served stood untouched.She honestly thought this was still about the miscarriage. That everything he had done up to this moment was his way of punishing her for her recklessness — for hurting the baby and causing the loss.A foolish part of her still clung to the illusion that he loved her. That this was just him venting his anger. She had believed that if she absorbed it long enough, he would eventually forgive her. That he would try to make amends, and they could rebuild their relationship from the ground up this time — instead of jumping straight into marriage the way they had before.She had even compared this to how he reacted when he first found out about Finn’s parentage. But this time was not

Chapter 205: Re-entering Sebastian’s Orbit

“So how was it?” Ezra asked. His hand never left the steering wheel as he drove, though his gaze flicked to her for a brief moment before returning to the road. “It went fine,” she answered, giving him only the watered-down version. “Did he put up a fight with you—” he started, but she cut him off. “No.” “Wait. He just handed your child over without any struggle? No threats, nothing at all?” he asked again, clarifying. She shook her head gently. “Nothing of that sort.” “Damn. I misjudged your husband then,” he chuckled to himself. Autumn’s face remained blank. She had deliberately concealed the rest of their interaction — the agreement and the deed transfer. *I don’t need anyone telling me ‘I told you so.’* “Sorry — ex-husband,” he laughed again at his own joke. “You still seem so infatuated with him.”

Chapter 206: Christmas Eve

Autumn stepped out of the taxi with a bag of gifts in one hand and another bag for the night filled with clothes and toiletries. It was already Christmas Eve — the day before Christmas — and dark outside by the time she arrived.As per the agreement she and Eric had made, he was supposed to text her the details of when and where she would spend Christmas with their son. He had specifically agreed to let her spend it with them, most likely to give Finn the illusion of a unified family, or at least a semblance of one.But who was she to complain? She had time with her child. There was nothing else she could ask for.The house was decorated with strings of green, red, blue, and white lights — a multi-coloured display of festivity. Even before stepping inside the estate, the joy of the season could be felt from a distance. The darkness of the sky only made the lights shine brighter.She was greeted at the door, assisted, and ushered inside to sit.The living room was decked out in all its

Chapter 207: Christmas Morning Drama

It was Christmas morning, and the house was filled to the brim with festive cheer. The day could be felt everywhere as the servants hustled up and down, making sure the final arrangements were complete.Despite how busy they were, nothing dampened their mood. The holiday spirit filled every corner of the house.The sound of commotion from outside pulled Autumn from her sleep. Her eyes dropped to the smaller figure nestled against her side, pressed close to her chest.His breathing was soft and even as he continued to sleep, completely vulnerable to the world. She reached out and gently caressed his soft cheek, her fingers drifting from his cheek to his nose, then his lips, before brushing the hair away from his forehead.Her gaze drifted toward the open window, taking in the sight of the snow-covered world outside — a white blanket stretching as far as she could see.“Mommy.” Finn’s sleepy murmur pulled her attention back.She leaned closer and nuzzled him. “Yes, my beautiful boy,” sh

Chapter 208: The Departure Trap

The spell of illusion that had been cast over the entire estate for the past few days was put to an abrupt halt.The once glamorous and lively atmosphere came to a stop, just like a veil being lifted to reveal the ugly truth underneath. The time she had spent with them was over.Just like Cinderella, everything had to return to the way it was. The borrowed time had run out. The coachman and carriage had turned back into mice and a pumpkin. The only difference was that she wasn’t returning home as a pauper — she was still a wealthy woman.She was in her room packing the few belongings she had brought with her, while Finn sat by her side with a frown on his face. A near-perfect mirror of his father’s.*He’s becoming more like him every single day,* she thought, stealing a secret glance at his face.His eyes were moist from holding back tears, and his nose was already turning red. She crouched down in front of him.“Hey, love,” she said softly, threading her fingers through his hair. “I’

Chapter 209: Gusty’s Breakout

Autumn’s modest apartment was decorated to the nines as a way of marking the upcoming year. Balloons and streamers hung from every corner.“Don’t you think you guys overdid it with the decorations?” Autumn asked, turning to face Gusty, who was mixing a questionable beverage.“Nonsense. It’s only befitting. We have to celebrate the year’s end in grand style,” he waved her off. She just giggled at his explanation.“You’re right,” she said, taking a sip of her drink. “Do you think it’s okay for you two to spend New Year’s Eve with me instead of your families?”“It’s fine. They had us for Christmas. I’m sure New Year’s will be cool. Mine already know I’m spending it with friends. It’s Ezra’s family that has the problem — you should be more worried about him.” Gusty tilted his head toward Ezra, who was in the middle of a heated phone conversation. A moment later, Ezra walked over to them.“Mom, me not being there wouldn’t be the end of the world,” he said into the phone. “I know it’s impor

Chapter 210: The Trojan Horse Plan

The tall, terrifying structure of the ministry building stood in all its glory. Autumn stood in awe, taking in the moment. *I can’t believe it,* she thought to herself in disbelief. The reality of starting her first day in this new role still felt unreal. Walking inside, she paused to look at the array of employees moving around, each busy with their own tasks. “This is really real,” she whispered in disbelief. There was no way to fully explain the feeling. She approached the receptionist’s desk. “Hi, I’m here regarding my appointment with the director,” she said, giving the man’s name. The receptionist typed in the information. “Name?” she asked. Autumn gave her own name, and the woman continued typing. Once everything was confirmed, the receptionist instructed Autumn on where to go to meet the director. Nodding and thanking her, Autumn took the elevator up to the floor where the director’s office was located. Just as the secretary had said, it was at the end of the hallway. S
