Serena was still standing on the beach. The cold breeze seemed to pierce her skin, but the nervousness in her chest was stronger. She held tightly to Eli's small hand.A few minutes had passed since Kael ran quickly toward the dark part of the trees. And until now, he still hadn't come back."Mommy..."Serena heard her son's soft and innocent voice again."What happened?" he asked innocently.She looked at Eli. She forced a smile even though questions were racing in her mind. "Nothing, baby.""But Uncle Kael ran. Did someone hurt him?"She quickly shook her head and stroked the child's hair. "No."She wasn't sure about that, but she didn't want to scare her son. "Stay here with Mommy, okay?"Eli nodded. Serena looked back at the dark woods. Still no one. She took a deep breath. I need to calm down. I can't panic. Not now, she reminded herself.After a few deafening minutes, she saw Kael's tall figure walking back. Alone. The tension in his broad shoulders was obvious, and even in the

Serena couldn't fall back asleep after that spine-chilling call.She had been sitting on the edge of the bed for hours, wrapped in a thin blanket while staring into nothingness. Outside the window, only the sound of the waves and the blowing wind could be heard, but inside her mind, it was so noisy. The stranger's voice returned and echoed repeatedly.'You're finally remembering.''You were supposed to disappear.''You weren't supposed to take the baby with you.'And above all, the question that buried itself into her chest like a blade—'You really don't remember that night?'Serena squeezed her eyes shut and touched her temple. There were things desperately trying to break free from the locked part of her brain. Fragmented images. Muffled sounds. A dark room that smelled of medicine and antiseptic. A baby crying endlessly. A man shouting. And her own voice, broken, full of desperation and fear.'Please! Don't touch my son!'She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the bed on the oth

Serena carefully laid the sleeping Eli in the middle of the large bed. She surrounded him with pillows and blanketed him up to his chest. The child's face was quiet and peaceful, as if they were just on a normal vacation and not hiding from danger.While stroking her son's hair, she felt Kael's presence behind her. The young man was leaning against the doorframe, silently observing the mother and child. Even with the dim lighting in the safehouse room, Serena could clearly see the emotion in his eyes, longing, love, and intense regret."He looks exactly like you," Serena softly broke the silence, not taking her eyes off her son. "When I gave birth to him... the first time I saw his eyes, I knew right away that I would never forget you. Because every time I look at him, I see you."She heard Kael's heavy footsteps approaching. He sat on the other edge of the bed. The young man slowly reached for Eli's small hand, as if afraid it might break if he held it too tightly."I missed his firs

When Eli finally fell completely asleep, Kael carefully carried the child to the other room of the safehouse which had a connecting door to the master bedroom. They made sure their son was comfortable and safe before leaving the door slightly ajar so they could hear him immediately in case he woke up.When Serena returned to the master bedroom, she found Kael standing at the edge of the large bed. He was down to his pants; his shirt was off, so his muscular and well-built chest, as well as his abs that seemed carved in stone, were clearly visible in the dim light from the lampshade. The young man was looking at her, and in his dark eyes burned a desire he had suppressed for five years.Serena closed the door and took a deep breath. The weight of the past had completely vanished. For the first time in a long while, she was free to love again.She slowly walked closer to Kael. Her every step seemed to make the young man's heart beat faster. When she got close, she raised her hands and p

The SUV was quiet as it sped back to the safehouse.Serena just stared at the small black flash drive resting on her palm. It seemed to carry a heavy curse, but at the same time, it was also the key to their family's freedom. It contained all the evidence they needed against Vincent Villafuerte.Serena felt Kael's large and warm hand rest on top of hers, trapping the flash drive between their palms."It's over, baby," Kael whispered gently and reassuringly. "We have everything we need to file a case and put Vincent in jail. I will send this to my trusted legal team in Manila once we arrive at the safehouse. He won't be able to escape the law."Serena looked at the man she loved. The nervousness in her chest was gone. The anger over the past was gone. When she saw Valerie earlier, she confirmed that the woman truly had no place in Kael's heart."I'm still scared, Kael," Serena admitted, resting her head on the young man's muscular shoulder. "Your uncle won't just give up easily. When h
