Chapter 81: Say Hi to My Grandchild

DENISE'S POVTEN YEARS AGO“It’s been weeks, Denise. I haven’t seen Rachael around. What’s going on?” Christopher asked as I tucked the sheets around him.“Rachael is fine,” I replied smoothly. “The poor girl was so frightened. It took me days to calm her down. I’ve taken her to a good boarding school. I visited her just yesterday — she’s very happy there.”“Really? I would like to speak to her myself,” he said, reaching for the phone. “I don’t want her thinking we blame her for anything.”“You don’t have to worry, Chris,” I said quickly, taking the phone from him. “She’s doing well. I’ll take care of everything. All you need to do right now is rest. You’re still recovering from your operation. Just focus on getting better and let me handle Rachael.”I switched off the phone before he could insist.“Fine,” he sighed. “As long as she’s okay. When you visit her again, take pictures of the school. I want to see it.”“I will, my dear. Just get some rest.”I left the room and walked down t

Chapter 82: Tell Me Where My Child Is

CADE'S POV“So she will need plenty of rest and care. You must not stress her at all and also—”“Do we really have to discuss this here?” I interrupted the doctor as we walked down the hallway. “You could have told me all of this when you came out of my wife’s room.”“I could have, Mr. Callaghan, but I also need to show you the medication she’ll need and—”“I was already told about her medication this morning. I even have the prescription.”“Mr. Callaghan, it’s good that you’re here. I was just about to go check on your wife—”I stopped walking.“Hold on. I thought you sent this doctor on your behalf. He said you couldn’t make it yourself.”The real doctor looked confused. “I never said such a thing. And who are you?” he asked, turning to the man standing beside me.The fake doctor stared at both of us for a second… then took off running.“Security! Get that man!” the real doctor shouted.My blood ran cold.If that man wasn’t the real doctor, then the nurse inside Emily’s room wasn’t

Chapter 83: I Can Feel It in Me

CADE'S POV“Where is my child, you witch?! What did you do with her?!” I shouted at my mother.Emily turned to me, tears streaming down her face.“She took our child, Cade! She took her away!”“What are you talking about, Emily? What child?” I asked, holding onto her.“She took our child! The man she sent to kill me at the hospital gave me her final message,” Emily said, staring straight at my mother.“I should never have come back. I should have died when I fell off that cliff. I should have never met Cade again. I should have stayed away from this island and forgotten everything… but my stupid brain had to remember. So now I have to die.”My mother’s face went pale.“What nonsense is this?! Is your wife on drugs, Cade? What the hell is she—”“The last message he gave me,” Emily continued, cutting her off, “was to say hi to your grandchild when I see her.”“Enough, Emily!” Isabel snapped, stepping forward. “You just got out of the hospital and now you’re accusing Mom of nonsense!”Em

Chapter 84: It's All Because of Cade

CADE'S POVI stood in the wine cellar, drinking in silence as I tried to process everything that had happened in the last few hours.I had a child.A daughter was born because of what I did to Emily years ago. Even after everything, Emily had wanted that child. But my mother — being who she is — had taken her away… and possibly killed her.I took another sip of wine, the bitterness matching the taste in my mouth.“I thought you’d be in your study, trying to distract yourself like you usually do when you’re worried,” my father said as he walked in.He studied me for a moment.“Are you worried about your mother?”“I always knew she was capable of terrible things,” I said quietly. “But this… this is beyond cruel.”“Denise has always handled things in her own way.”“I never knew what she was really doing back then,” I admitted. “She always told me Rachael was in a good boarding school and doing well. It turns out the poor girl was pregnant with my child the entire time.”My father sighed.

Chapter 85: One Night of Madness

EMILY'S POV“He is nothing but trouble, Emily. You should leave him while you still can,” my mother continued, unaware that Cade was standing at the door.“Stop it, Mom!” I snapped.She kept going.“I’m only telling you the truth. I don’t want to lose you the way I lost your mother. Cut all ties with him. Leave him while you can. His mother will always be a threat—”“Just stop it, Mom!!!” I shouted.She finally turned to look at me. When she followed my gaze and saw Cade standing there, she quickly looked away.“Cade!” I called out.He didn’t even look at me.“I just came to check on you. Since you’re okay now, I’ll take my leave,” he said and turned to walk away.“Cade!” I called again, but he kept going.I got up to follow him, but my mother grabbed my arm.“Let him go. I already told him everything I told you.”“Why would you do that?!” I yelled.“Because it’s the right thing to do. Just let him go, Emily. I’m begging you.”I pulled my arm free and ran after him.Just as he reached

Chapter 86: Watch Me Handle It Myself

CADE'S POV“Where are you, Emily?” I muttered as I sped through town, gripping the steering wheel tightly.It wasn’t like her to just disappear like this. Could it be because of what I said earlier? Was she trying to punish me by running off in the rain?My phone rang. It was one of the guards.“Any news?” I asked immediately.“None yet, sir. We’ve been searching everywhere, but we haven’t found her.”“Keep looking until you do,” I ordered and ended the call.My father was right. Even if Emily left, there was no guarantee she would be safe. With everything that had happened, she wasn’t safe anywhere.Just then, I spotted a car parked up ahead. A man was struggling with a woman.My blood ran cold when I recognized her.Emily.I slammed on the brakes, jumped out of the car, and ran toward them. Without hesitation, I punched the man twice. He stumbled back, realized he was outmatched, and quickly got into the car with his friend. They sped off into the night.I caught Emily just as she s

Chapter 87: Five Escaped, Ten Dead

EMILY'S POV“She’s still alive, Cade. I mean it,” I said, looking straight into his eyes.I could see he still wasn’t fully convinced, but I had to make him believe me. We had to find our daughter. It had been ten years. She would be ten years old now.I just wanted to see my child.I held his hand tightly.“You have to believe me, Cade. I wouldn’t lie about something like this. I really mean it.”He stayed quiet for a long moment before finally nodding.“Fine. I’ll trust you. If you believe our child is alive, then I’ll do everything I can to find her.”I shook my head.“What’s wrong?” he asked.“Lucy. Lucy will know where she is. She was the nurse who helped me back then. She didn’t want Denise to take the baby away. She’ll know something. Please, Cade… talk to her. Ask her to help us find our child. Please.”He sighed and gently tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.“Fine. I’ll do as you say. But please don’t worry too much. If we’re going to find our child, you need to get well f

Chapter 88: It Cost Me My Entire Family

CADE'S POVI stood watching as the firefighters and police worked through the ruins of the penitentiary.Part of me wished David was dead and finally out of our lives. Another part of me hoped he was still alive so he could pay for everything he put Emily through.The firefighter walked back toward us holding a small evidence bag.“There were two inmates named David. Their faces were badly burned, so they’re unrecognizable. But we found this on one of them,” he said, showing me a ring inside a clear plastic bag.I took it and stared at it for a long moment.It was David’s ring.I knew it immediately.“It belongs to David,” I said quietly.“One identity confirmed,” the firefighter said before walking away with the bag.I felt strangely hollow as I walked back to the car.David was gone.No matter what he had become, he had once been my closest friend. We grew up together. He had been loyal and reliable… until greed and his obsession with Emily destroyed him.His father would be devasta

Chapter 89: Denise Wanted the Child Dead. But Did I?

EMILY'S POV“Please, Lucy… tell us where our child is. I’m begging you,” I said softly.She stared at me for a long moment, then looked at Cade.“Your child?” she muttered.“Yes. Our child,” I replied. “My mother-in-law is in jail now, Lucy. I’m not a threat to you. You can tell us the truth. As long as I’m alive, I’ll make sure you’re safe.”She turned to Cade.He stepped forward. “Come with us, Lucy. Tell us what you know. My mother can’t hurt you anymore.”She studied him for a while, then sighed and walked into the house. We followed her inside.Lucy went to an old wooden box, opened it, and pulled out a faded photograph. She stared at it for a few seconds before handing it to me.“I took this picture just before Denise took her away.”My hands trembled as I looked at the photo.I had only seen my daughter once, right after she was born. I barely remembered her face… but now, staring at this old picture, the tears came instantly.“She was such a beautiful little thing,” Lucy said

Chapter 90: The Wardrobe Was Pulled Aside

CADE'S POVI sat in my office, trying to finish the remaining documents so we could leave for the city tomorrow. The sooner we met Laura and spoke to her, the better.Just then, there was a knock on the door and my father walked in.“Have you heard?” he asked.“Heard what?”“Your mother.”I looked up. “What happened to Mom?”“She escaped.”I stood up so fast my chair scraped against the floor.“What? Mom escaped?”“Yes. I didn’t catch everything the police officer said, but I think you should go to the station and find out what’s happening.”I left the paperwork with him and drove straight to the police station.How on earth did she manage to escape? I thought as I walked inside.A police officer approached me immediately.“You must be here about your mother’s case, Mr. Callaghan.”“Yes. What happened? How did she escape?”“It appears someone from inside helped her,” the officer said.“From inside?” I repeated in shock. “But my mother doesn’t know anyone here.”“We don’t have any susp
