Chapter 91: I Hope You’ve Done What I Asked

CADE'S POVI woke up suddenly to the sound of noise coming from downstairs.I reached out for Emily, but the bed beside me was empty.Where is she?I got up quickly and headed downstairs. The moment I reached the living room, my blood ran cold.The place was in complete chaos. Chairs and tables were overturned, and broken ornaments were scattered across the floor.Then I saw her.Emily’s mother was lying on the floor.“Mrs. Wilburn! Mrs. Wilburn!” I called, rushing to her side.“Save… my daughter,” she whispered weakly before her eyes went still.I gently closed her eyes and laid her down.I ran outside and found her father lying on the ground as well — he had been shot.“Emily!” I shouted, running down the street in panic, but she was nowhere to be found.Just as I turned into an alley, I heard her voice.“Cade!”I spun around.David was holding her, one arm wrapped tightly around her while pressing a gun to her head.“No… please don’t,” I begged.A car pulled up and my mother steppe

Chapter 92: While They Burned, I Escaped

EMILY'S POV“Your child isn’t with me.”The moment Laura said those words, all the hope I had been holding onto shattered.“Where is she?” I asked desperately.“When Denise brought her to me ten years ago, I took care of her for a few months. Then Denise came back for her,” Laura replied calmly.“What? Denise came back for my child?” I shouted.“Yes. She came back and took the child away. I asked her where she was taking her, and…” Laura paused.“And what? Please tell me. Don’t leave anything out,” I begged.“She took her to an orphanage.”I felt like the ground had disappeared beneath me.“So what you’re saying is that my mother never killed our child… she took her to an orphanage instead?” Cade asked in disbelief.Laura nodded.“For the past ten years, your child has been living as an orphan.”“Can you tell us where that orphanage is?” I asked.Laura reached into a drawer and pulled out a piece of paper.“A few months ago, I wouldn’t have been able to answer that. But since I knew y

Chapter 93: Two Bad People

DAVID'S POV“Why do you suddenly want to know how I escaped from jail? Are you planning to try it yourself?” I asked Denise.“Of course not. You’re the expert here, David. I just want to learn from you,” she replied as she walked over to the table and picked up an apple.“Well, it wasn’t that hard,” I said, my mind drifting back to that night.FLASHBACK“I can’t rely on you anymore. I told you — if you don’t give me what I want, I’ll do things my own way,” I snapped into the phone before hanging up.I couldn’t believe my father had failed again. I had been counting on him to bring Emily to the warehouse so that when the escape plan with my fellow inmate finally happened, I could take her with me. We would disappear before anyone even realized we were gone.But nothing had gone according to plan.I walked back to my cell, where my cellmate was waiting.“How did the call go?” he asked.“Bad. My father messed everything up,” I muttered, pacing the small space.“So… are you still going to

Chapter 94: Think of Him as Cade

LAURA'S POV“Denise! Denise, is that you?” I asked into the phone.“Yes, it’s me,” she replied.“The last thing I heard was that you escaped. Where have you been? How are you?”“I’m fine. Thanks to someone, I’m living quite comfortably now.”“Tell me where you are and I’ll come to you.”“I was about to ask you the same thing, but right now you can’t come to us. You might be under police watch. It’s better if we meet somewhere else.”“Tell me where and I’ll be there.”“It’s too dangerous to say it over the phone. I’ll text you the address.”She hung up.Thank God Denise is safe. With her here, I’ll finally know what to do about this child.A few seconds later, I received the address. I was about to leave when I felt Nina still clinging to my leg.How was I supposed to leave with this child being so clingy?I needed to move Nina and her nanny to another safe house first, then go meet Denise.“Paulina, where the hell are you?” I called out.The nanny quickly appeared with their bags.We

Chapter 95: You're Not My Mom!

CADE'S POVHours EarlierI received the address my mother had promised to send. I turned the car around and headed toward the location, though it was difficult to find because of all the winding roads and turns.I parked a good distance away and approached the warehouse on foot, staying hidden as much as possible. I wanted to get close without being seen.I stopped and ducked behind some bushes when I heard Laura’s voice.“Is he really going to come?” she asked.“Of course he will,” my mother replied confidently. “I know my son. He’ll do anything to get his wife’s child back. He’ll be here.”“Fine, but what is he doing inside?” Laura asked.I frowned. Who is the “he” she’s talking about?“He’s talking to his father and—”My phone vibrated. It was a message from the private investigator.“I’ve found something important, sir. Call me when you see this. It’s about your child.”I quietly backed away and returned to my car before calling him.“What did you find?” I asked as soon as he pick

Chapter 96: I’ve Got It. I’ll Do as You Asked

EMILY'S POVA Week Later“The king and the queen and their little princess lived happily ever after,” I said softly as I closed the book, hoping Nina would finally fall asleep.But her bright eyes were still wide open. She looked more awake than before.“Really? Did they live happily ever after?” she asked, staring at me.“Of course,” I replied gently. “I can even show you if you don’t believe me.”Instead of answering, she turned her attention back to the book for a moment, then sat up again, looking sad.It had been a week since Cade brought her home. While we had managed to make her comfortable in the new house, she still hadn’t accepted us as her parents. She continued to believe that Laura was her real mother and that she would come back for her one day.We had managed to convince Paulina, her nanny, that we were Nina’s real parents by doing a DNA test. Even after Paulina herself told Nina the truth, the little girl still clung to the idea that Laura was her mother.Sometimes I w

Chapter 97: Made My Stomach Turn

CADE'S POVI woke up to the sound of loud voices coming from outside the room.I reached for Emily, but her side of the bed was empty. The yelling continued. What was going on?I got up and followed the noise.When I stepped into the hallway, I saw Emily and Paulina standing face to face, arguing.Paulina spotted me first. She quickly ran over and grabbed my hand.“Your wife is saying the most ridiculous things, Cade,” she said, looking distressed. “She’s accusing me of things I didn’t do. Please talk to her and tell her to stop.”“You liar!” Emily shouted. “I heard you clearly! You were telling Nina that I’m a witch and that I would hurt her if she got close to me. You also told her that I’m not her real mother — that Laura is — and that she shouldn’t believe anything I say!”She took a step toward Paulina, but I held her back.“I’ve been wondering why Nina still hasn’t accepted us,” Emily continued angrily. “It’s because of you! You’ve been feeding her lies!”“That’s not true!” Paul

Chapter 98: What Hurt Me the Most

EMILY'S POVI stood by the window, watching the sky slowly brighten as I waited for them to wake up.It was about time.Just then, I heard Cade’s voice from the bedroom. He had woken up first.I walked over to the light switch and turned it on, making my presence known.Cade blinked in confusion, then turned his head and saw Paulina lying beside him. His eyes widened in horror.“Emily, I—”“Shhh,” I cut him off coldly. “My parents are downstairs. No one else knows what’s happening in here yet. So keep your mouth shut.”I turned to Paulina, who was staring at me without a single trace of guilt.“You have five minutes,” I said. “Five minutes to pack your things and get out of this house.”“But… I still have to look after Nina and—”“Your services are no longer needed,” I snapped. “Nina can manage without you now. Get out while I’m still in control of myself.”Paulina quickly grabbed the bedsheet to cover herself and rushed out of the room.Cade sat up. “Emily, please… it’s not what you

Chapter 99: The One and Only

EMILY'S POVI sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Cade. It was already past midnight, and he still hadn’t come to bed.Just where could he be?I had to admit — I was wrong. I didn’t even try to trust him. I jumped straight to conclusions, and that was what hurt him the most. I let my anger and jealousy speak instead of listening to him.What would I have done if I had walked in and seen him in bed with another woman? The thought alone made my chest tighten.I got up and started pacing the room, my mind racing.A soft knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. Thinking it was Cade, I rushed to open it — only to feel disappointed when I saw my mother standing there.“Is Cade here?” she asked.“No, Mom. What’s wrong?”“The study light is still on. I saw it when I went downstairs to get some water.”“Haven’t you two made up yet?”I sighed. “It turns out Cade was innocent. Paulina drugged him and took him to her room. She staged everything.”My mother gave me a knowing look. “See?

Chapter 100: Goodbye, My Dearest Friend

I didn’t even try to trust him. I let my jealousy and anger take over, and that was what hurt him the most. I should have listened to him instead of jumping to conclusions.What would I have done if I had walked in and seen him in bed with another woman? The thought alone made my stomach twist.I got up and started pacing the room, my mind spinning.A soft knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts.
