Chapter 201- DADDY SAVED ME

The driver rushed through the gates of the mansion. The moment the car stopped, the guard jumped out. He had Lila on one arm and Elias on the other, trying to keep both children close while they cried. “Please, calm down,” he said softly. “You are home now.” But neither child could stop crying. Their faces were wet with tears. Lila held her teddy tightly against her chest, while Elias kept looking toward the road as if he expected his father to appear behind them. The driver quickly opened the gate. “Come on,” he said. “Let’s get them inside.” The guard nodded as he carried the children toward the entrance. Inside the mansion, I had just finished a business phone call. Emma stood beside me, checking something on her phone. Then we heard the car. I smiled. “They’re back.” I walked quickly toward the entrance with Emma. For the first time that day, I was excited to see my children. I expected to see them running toward me. Instead, the moment the doors opened, my smile disappear

Chapter 202- THE SURGERY

I could not stop crying as the car pulled into the hospital compound. The moment the driver stopped, I pushed the door open and rushed out. My legs felt weak, but I forced myself to keep moving. “Madam!” the driver called behind me. “Wait for me.” I did not wait. I ran through the hospital entrance, wiping my face with the back of my hand. People turned to look at me, but I did not care. All I could think about was Adrian. Where was he? Was he alive? Was he still breathing? My children cannot become a bastard at that age. I hurried toward the emergency area and stopped when I saw Clara sitting on a bench outside the surgery section. Her face was buried in her hands. She was crying. “Clara!” She looked up quickly. The moment her eyes met mine, she stood. “Serena…” “Where is Adrian?” My voice broke. Clara wiped her tears, but more rolled down her cheeks. “They already took him into surgery.” My heart dropped. “Surgery?” She nodded. “Yes. The doctors said they had to operat

Chapter 203 - HE SURVIVED

The doctor looked at me for a long second. I held my breath, waiting for his answer. Clara grabbed my arm, and together we stared at him, terrified of what came next. “Is he alive?” I asked again. The doctor looked at me, then nodded. “Yes. Adrian survived the surgery.” For a moment, I forgot how to breathe. “He survived?” I asked. “Yes. The surgery went as well as we could have hoped.” My hand flew to my mouth. Tears filled my eyes again, but this time they were tears of relief. “Thank God,” I whispered. Clara covered her face and let out a shaky breath. “He’s alive,” she said. I nodded, crying. “He’s alive.” I wanted to run into the surgery room and see him immediately, but the doctor’s serious expression stopped me. “There is something you both need to understand.” My heart tightened. “What is it?” “Adrian suffered a severe head injury when the truck hit him. His head struck the ground with great force.” I stared at him. “How serious is the injury?” “Serious enough

Chapter 204- HIS PARENTS ARRIVAL

The following morning, the news spread across the city. Television channels showed images of Laurent Group headquarters while reporters spoke about the previous day’s accident. “The CEO of Laurent Group, Adrian Laurent, was involved in a serious accident yesterday afternoon,” the reporter said. “He survived the incident but remains in critical condition at a local hospital.” The report showed a picture of Adrian. His parents were having breakfast when they heard it. Adrian’s mother dropped the cup in her hand. “What did you say?” His father turned up the volume. The reporter repeated the news. For several seconds, neither of them moved. “Our son,” his mother whispered. Then she stood so quickly that her chair moved backward. “We have to go to the hospital.” His father was already reaching for his phone. “We’re leaving now.” Across the city, my parents heard the same report. My mother called me immediately, but I could not answer because I was sitting beside Adrian’s bed. Sh

Chapter 205- THE FAILED PLAN

Lia sat alone in a quiet room, staring at her phone. She had been waiting for the call for hours. Everything had gone according to plan. The driver knew where the children would be and exactly what to do. Lia had imagined Serena’s pain. But now, the waiting was making her impatient. She checked her phone again. Nothing. “Why is he taking so long?” she muttered. She stood and walked toward the window. Outside, cars moved along the street as if nothing had happened. Lia looked down at her phone. Then it rang. She grabbed it immediately. “Did you do it?” There was silence on the other end. Lia frowned. “Hello?” The driver’s voice finally came through. “The operation failed.” Her face changed. “What?” “I said it failed.” Lia gripped the phone. “What do you mean it failed?” “I couldn’t finish it the way you wanted.” Her heart began beating faster. “You were supposed to hit the children, I paid you for—.” “I know.” The driver's voice cuts her off. “You knew what I told you to

Chapter 206- THE UNWANTED VISITOR

The hospital doors opened, and Lia rushed inside. She barely noticed the people around her. Her eyes searched desperately until she saw the room where Adrian was. She pushed the door open. Adrian was lying on the bed, unconscious, with machines surrounding him. “Adrian!” Lia ran to him and fell beside the bed. Her hands shook as she grabbed his. “Please wake up,” she cried. “Please, Adrian. Open your eyes.” Nobody stopped her. But nobody welcomed her either. Adrian’s parents stood on one side of the room. Our parents stood nearby. Clara was beside me. The Laurents looked at Lia, then looked away. Our parents did the same. No one said a word. Lia did not seem to notice. She kept crying. “I’m sorry,” she whispered. “Please wake up. I’m sorry.” I stared at her. A part of me wanted to drag her away myself. She had come into this room crying for the man whom she made me hate. I could barely control my anger seeing Lia holding his hands and crying. It wanted to bring back old memorie

Chapter 207- THE INVESTORS

We left the hospital and reached the Laurent building. I walked beside Victor toward the meeting room, but my mind was still at the hospital. Adrian was lying unconscious. His mother was beside him. Clara was watching over him. My children were probably still at home, waiting for me. And now I had to sit in front of investors and talk about business as if my world had not just fallen apart. I pushed the thoughts away. I could not afford to break down here. When Victor opened the door, every conversation inside stopped. The investors turned toward us. I immediately felt the tension in the room. Everyone already knew about Adrian’s accident. One man stood. “Good day Elena, we need answers.” “I know and—” “What happens to Laurent Group now?” Another investor spoke before I could answer. “Adrian is in critical condition. We are hearing that he may have memory problems.” another one said. “And there are concerns about his movement,” another added. “What happens if he cannot retur

Chapter 208- THE DECISION

The room remained quiet after the investor’s last question, but I could see that several people still had more to say. One of them leaned forward. “If Adrian does not recover his memories, what happens then?” I looked at him. “Then we continue.” “And if he cannot return to work?” “We still continue.” Another investor frowned. “You make it sound simple.” “It isn’t simple,” I said. “But it is possible.” I opened the folder in front of me and looked at the reports. “We already have projects in progress. We have contracts that need to be completed. We have employees who need leadership and investors who need confidence. None of that disappears because Adrian is in the hospital.” A man across the table shook his head. “But the market could react badly.” “I know.” “Other Investors could start selling.” “I know.” “Our competitors could use this against us.” “I know that too.” “Then what is your plan?” I looked at him. “My plan is to keep Laurent Group stable. We will comple

Chapter 209: A SECOND CHANCE

One investor placed both hands on the table and looked around the room. Nobody spoke. Then he pushed his chair back. Very slowly, he began to rise. He stood up and walked towards me. He stopped in front of me. For one second, I thought he was actually leaving. Then he held out his hand.“Congratulations, Mrs Voss.”I stared at him before taking his hand. “Thank you.”“You handled yourself well,” he said. “I look forward to seeing what you can do while Adrian is away.”A small breath escaped me. At least someone had listened. One by one, they came forward, shook my hand, and offered their support. Before I realized it, everyone around the table had agreed.I looked at Victor. He smiled.“We can begin,” I said.I explained the current projects, the contracts, the market position, and the areas that needed attention. After almost an hour, the meeting finally ended. Chairs moved back as everyone stood. When the last investor left, the room became quiet. Victor remained seated.I gathered

Chapter 210: THE FORGOTTEN PAST

Lia could still hear Clara’s voice in her head. “The doctors said he may lose some memories and we don’t know when they will return. And there is a chance he may not walk normally again.” Those words had followed her ever since Serena’s driver dragged her out of the hospital. At first, Lia had cried because Adrian had been hurt. Then she thought about what Clara said. Adrian might forget. That thought changed everything. If Adrian woke up without remembering the present, then he would not remember all the things that had happened between them. He would not remember how badly things had ended. He would not remember why he had stopped trusting her. Lia saw something else. An opportunity. She sat alone in her car and stared through the windshield. “If he forgets everything,” she whispered, “then I can start again.” She remembered the way Adrian had once looked at her. The way he had trusted her. The way she had made him believe she was the woman he wanted. She could do it again. “
