When the meal ended, I reached out to begin clearing our used plates, but Ethan raised his hand, halting my movement before I could touch a single piece of china. Within seconds, two house staff slipped quietly into the room, efficiently clearing the table with practiced ease.He stood up and strolled into the main sitting area and I guided Leo right behind him. We took our seats and before I could even think of an activity, he picked up the remote, turned on the wide television screen, and switched it straight to the cartoon channel.I paused, genuinely surprised by his silent thoughtfulness. Leo immediately moved to sit down on the soft rug instead, completely captivated by the screen.Leaning down, I cupped my hands over Leo’s shoulders and whispered softly into his ear, "Stay quiet and watch your show, okay? Mommy has to pop upstairs for a quick second.""Okay, Mommy!" he chirped back, not taking his eyes off the television.I stole a quick glance toward Ethan. He was leaning back

Ethan’s POV “Urghhh!” I groaned as I stretched my whole weight on the bed lazily. I had barely slept for five hours and it’s morning already. But for the first time in nearly four years, I woke up with an unusual sense of lightness in my chest and a genuine spark of eagerness to get out of bed and head downstairs for breakfast. The usual dark, heavy cloud that typically hung over my mornings seemed to have lifted, replaced by a quiet anticipation.I walked into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and combed through my dark hair, checking my reflection in the mirror. Pulling on a pair of comfortable grey sweatpants and a long-sleeved jersey, I grabbed my favorite body spray and gave myself a light mist before heading out of the room.I took the staircase two steps at a time, a warm, uncharacteristic smile already forming on my face.When I stepped into the dining area, Claire and Leo were already seated at the table, quietly enjoying their morning meal."Good morning," I said smoothly, p

By seven o'clock on Saturday morning, I was already wide awake. I knew Ethan was up as well, preparing for his corporate function. Sitting on the edge of the mattress, I gathered our smaller belongings. Leo’s favorite toys, my skincare products, and essential bath items, packing them carefully into a separate box. I had already arranged Leo’s clothes inside my main suitcase, using the remaining space to pack as many of my own outfits as possible. It hurt to leave so much behind, especially all the beautiful things I had acquired since moving into the estate, but taking everything was impossible.With a aching heart, I zipped up the main suitcase and sat back on the bed.At a little past eight, a light knock echoed at the door. It was too early for breakfast, making me wonder who it could be. I walked over and opened the door immediately.Ethan was standing in the hallway, looking strikingly handsome. He wore a crisp white shirt paired with tailored black trousers and polished black sh

Claire’s POV I slowly walked across the smooth marble floor to where Ethan stood waiting for me, keeping my eyes glued firmly to the tiles beneath my feet. I couldn't bring myself to meet his eyes. I felt his piercing glare scanning me from head to toe, taking in my altered appearance. I had already shed my former attire, and changed into comfortable lounge shorts that barely covered my hips and a simple dark tank top."What exactly are you doing in a hotel with Leo, Claire?" his voice rasped, cold and sharp, yet low so no other person could hear him. "Is this really where you decided to take a small boy for a fun day out, or did you have a completely different mission in mind?"My chest tightened, and my throat felt completely dry. "I... I was just, I mean we were…” I stammered, still unable to raise my head.Before I could drag out another broken word, his hand reached out, his fingers catching my chin. His grip wasn't rough, but it was firm enough to lift my head, forcing my tear-

Once inside his expansive master bedroom, Ethan guided Leo over to the lounge area. He turned on the big-screen television, tuning it to a cartoon channel to keep him completely occupied. With Leo settled on the plush couch, he took my hand and led me over to the far side of the room, sitting me down on the edge of his bed so we could continue our conversation.I unzipped the top of my carry-on suitcase, reaching inside to pull out the small organizer bag where I had locked away every single piece of evidence I possessed. My hands trembled as I handed him the blood-stained letter I had received the night of Sarah’s death, the mysterious note I had found tucked inside my bedroom days ago, and the rusted key from the garden.Next, I brought out the rest, the silver locket, the old personnel file Sarah had used while working at the estate, the video SIM clip I had discovered hidden inside the locket, his private diary, the stack of letters he had written over the years, and the official
