Serena barely closed her eyes the entire night.Kael’s final question echoed endlessly in her mind, haunting her every thought. "Was he born after you left me?"She didn't know how long she had been lying there in the dark, staring blankly at the ceiling while hugging herself under the cold sheets. It was just one simple question, but it was sharp enough to completely shatter the thick, protective walls she had spent five years building.She wasn't ready. She had absolutely no idea how to tell Kael the truth without destroying everything. And more than anything, she was terrified of how this explosive secret would affect her little boy once it finally came out.So, when morning arrived and golden sunlight peeked through the curtains, Serena made a firm decision to bury her panic deep in the back of her mind. She needed to distance herself from the problem. She had to pretend everything was perfectly normal. She had to be strong for her son."Mommy!"Her eyes flew open at the sound of

Serena woke up before the sun even rose.It wasn't the loud ringing of the alarm clock on her bedside table that disturbed her sleep, but a heavy, suffocating feeling pressing down on her chest. She lay perfectly still in the quiet bedroom, her eyes wide open, staring blankly at the white ceiling of the luxurious villa.A strange, nervous fluttering had taken over her heart ever since Kael dropped those dangerous words last night: he would not let them leave the island alone.She didn't know if she should feel grateful for his fierce protection or absolutely terrified of his closeness. With every passing moment Kael spent near her and Eli, the massive secret she had buried for five years threatened to claw its way out. And now that she desperately wanted to escape Isla Verde... she felt an icy dread that she might never get the chance to run away again."Mommy?"Serena quickly turned her head toward the bedroom door. Her little boy, Eli, was standing there. He was sleepily rubbing one

Serena stood frozen in the middle of the spacious living room, her small hands gripping her cell phone so tightly her knuckles turned white. A heavy, suffocating panic was rapidly rising in her chest, making it incredibly hard to breathe. She didn't know what terrified her more: the deadly threats she was receiving, or the fact that Kael had just seen the chilling message on her screen.Kael stood completely still, watching her every move like a predator. His sharp, dark eyes were piercing, demanding answers she wasn't ready to give."Who is it?" he asked, his deep voice slicing through the silence.She quickly shook her head, fighting desperately to force her racing heart to calm down. "No one. It's nothing.""Serena," he said, pressing the weight of her name heavily into the quiet room."Kael, please," she begged, her voice barely more than a broken whisper."Someone has been threatening you since yesterday."She immediately looked down at the floor. She could no longer hide the vio

The air blowing from the air conditioner was freezing, but Serena could still feel her palms sweating as she stood in front of the massive glass window. Her eyes were glued to the view outside, desperately searching the other side of the resort for the man she had just seen.But he was completely gone. He had vanished way too fast.He was like a ghost. It felt as though he had only shown himself for a brief second just to let her know that he was close, silently watching her every move from the shadows."Serena?"She jumped slightly at the sound of Kael’s deep, familiar voice right behind her. She slowly turned around, taking a quiet breath to force her racing heart to calm down."What happened?" Kael asked, his thick eyebrows pulling together in a deep frown. He had instantly noticed how pale her face had become.She quickly shook her head. "Nothing." She didn't know how much longer she could keep using that weak excuse. "Someone was there."Kael’s forehead creased, and his sharp eye

"Mommy!"Their serious conversation was broken when Eli ran over from the other side of the garden, holding something."Look! I found this!"Serena forced herself to snap out of her thoughts and smiled at her son. The child held out a small but beautiful shell. "It's beautiful, baby.""Can I keep it?""Of course."Eli quickly turned to the man beside her. "Uncle Kael, look."Kael slowly reached for the shell, his large hands carefully holding the small object."It's nice, buddy.""I'll keep it forever," Eli said proudly."Then you better take care of it," Kael advised with a smile. "Always take care of the things you want to keep.""I will!" And the child ran back to the play area again.Serena just quietly watched her son until she heard Kael's voice."He's happy."She looked at the man. "Yes, he is.""He's always like that?""Mostly.""Good."There was a strange sweetness in the last word he said. A sweetness she shouldn't pay attention to. She shouldn't feel it. But she did feel it
