Leon held me for a long time, letting me cry on his shoulder. I felt an incredible relief—he wasn't angry, he wasn't disappointed, he actually supported me. But beneath that relief, there was another guilt still nagging at me.Leon had to come home early because of me. I disrupted his work, made him worry, all because of my stupid dream."Leon," I said softly, after my tears began to subside. "I'm sorry for making you come home early. I know you're so busy with the Empire Group project."Leon sighed, wiping the tears from my cheeks. "Don't apologize, Sweetheart. Family is my priority. Work can wait. But you..." He looked at me seriously. "I want to ask you something."I looked at him, my heart pounding. "What?"Leon took my hand, gripping it tightly. "Has Julian ever flirted with you? Has he ever done anything that made you uncomfortable?"I fell silent. Memories of Julian approaching me in the children's room, the way he looked at me, the way his touch felt too familiar, all of it fl

The next morning, Leon took me to the psychologist's office he had found. A middle-aged woman with a warm smile and understanding eyes welcomed us in the waiting room. Her name was Dr. Amanda, and she was one of the best psychologists in the city."Good morning, Mrs. Ana. Your husband has told me a little about your situation. But I'd like to hear directly from you. What brought you here?"I looked at Leon, who was holding my hand tightly. He nodded, giving me support. I took a deep breath, then started telling my story."I often have dreams. Very vivid dreams. About the past, about the men who used to be in my life."Dr. Amanda nodded, looking at me attentively. "Tell me more detail, Ma'am. What kind of dreams do you have?"I looked down for a moment, then started telling her everything. About the dreams with Leon, Sebastian, and Adrian. About how the three of them took turns having me, about how I felt incredible pleasure in those dreams. About my last dream, where my hands were tie

I was still standing in the living room, trembling, when Leon came down from the bedroom. He saw me pale and the tears on my cheeks, then immediately walked over to me with concern."Ana! What's wrong? Why are you crying? What happened?" he asked, grabbing my hands.I looked at him, feeling a mixture of guilt and relief. "Julian, he just left. He said you fired him.""Yes. I fired him. I can't let someone who makes you uncomfortable stay around our family.""He said I was paranoid. He said I destroyed his life. That he's been blacklisted from many companies because of me."Leon pulled me into his embrace, stroking my back gently. "Listen to me. You didn't do anything wrong. I'm the one who decided to fire Julian. I'm the one who made sure he wouldn't get a job in this industry again. Not because of you, but because I don't trust him."I lifted my head, looking into his eyes. "You really don't trust him?""I trust your instincts. You said there was something wrong with him. And I belie

I was still lying in bed, crying in Leon's arms, when I heard a voice from outside the room. Clara. She must still be at the mansion, and now she was talking to Leon in the living room.I accidentally overheard their conversation. The bedroom door was slightly open, and Clara's voice came through clearly."Dad, Ana has changed again. Before, she was starting to be nice to me, starting to accept me. But now, she's cold and distant again. I don't know what happened."Leon sighed. "Ana is going through a difficult time. That video brought back all the old wounds. She needs time.""I understand, but I'm also worried about her mental state. She's been through so much suffering, losing Ethan, cancer, a risky pregnancy, and now this video. I think she needs professional help. Maybe a psychologist or therapist."Leon was silent for a moment. "I've already taken her to a psychologist. But this isn't something that can heal overnight.""I know, but I also can't keep being blamed forever. I've a

The meeting with Julian left a warm feeling in my heart. I had a brother. I had family that had been lost for so long. Julian promised to come back next week to meet my children and spend time with us.That night, we had dinner filled with laughter and happiness. Leon held me tightly when we lay in bed."I'm glad you finally found your family, Ana," he whispered."Me too," I answered, kissing his cheek. "Thank you for always being there for me."We fell asleep peacefully, without any nightmares haunting us.The next morning, the atmosphere changed. Leon turned on the television in the living room while preparing breakfast, and I heard a voice from the screen that made me freeze."...The arrest of Max and Sasha, two suspects strongly believed to have spread the pornographic video involving a woman and three men..."I quickly turned toward the television. On the screen, I saw the faces of Max and Sasha, my ex-boyfriend and his friend, being led away by police with their hands cuffed. Th
