Three years ago, on the streets of Ocliana, chaos erupted in the form of a merciless rampage–looting. killing, burning–and Seraphina had the misfortune of being caught in it.
People were running, screaming for help, cries of agony filling the air.
Bullets whizzed past, and you never knew who in the crowd might suddenly toss a bomb–it could be another terrorist hiding among the fleeing masses.
She only wanted to get to safety, but when she saw a young blond boy standing in the street, no more than five years old, she changed direction instantly.
Just as she leapt toward him, a bomb exploded nearby, shaking everything around them as if the world itself were about to shatter.
She had buried this memory deep in her heart, too painful to surface. She feared that remembering it might weaken her resolve and pull her back into that overwhelming sense of helplessness.
Seraphina saw the photo. It was the exact moment she dived toward the boy. Someone had accidently captured the scene.
She didn’t know who took it, but the fear and smell of smoke and danger lingered in the air, making her
shiver.
Then, Wilson’s sudden laugh broke through her reverie, snapping her back to the present.
That blond boy she had shielded from the explosion? He was none other than little Dani, who stood before her now.
Though his golden curls were neater and his eyes clearer and more refined, the three years that had passed hadn’t changed him much at all.
Little Dani looked up at her, recognizing Ms. Lovely as the one who had saved him. He threw himself into
her arms.
Wilson cleared his throat and said, “I’m sorry. You were actually my first choice for this project. But I couldn’t find out your real identity back then. It wasn’t until my son met you by accident after we returned to the country that I started investigating. Both of you saved his life, but I want to repay the first who threw themselves at Dani to protect him. Without her, Dani would’ve been

Wilson shrugged, as if unwilling to bring up the painful memory. His face carried a hint of sorrow.
He hides his pain behind a smile.
“My wife wasn’t as lucky as Dani. She was in the car when it exploded… nothing left but pieces.” His voice wavered with suppressed grief.
Seraphina’s heart sank. She was surprised by this revelation.
The pieces of the mystery she had been curious about began to come together.

Orion’s voice was low and hoarse.
He replied, “Of course not. I couldn’t be more pleased

Shadows enveloped Orion, emanating a cold, noble restraint that embodied self–control and distance.
Sensing the tension in the air between them, Wilson chuckled awkwardly, turning to Seraphina and asking, “I hope you don’t mind me bringing this up, Ms. Cross?”
Seraphina smiled and said, “Not at all. It’s the truth.”
And the truth always comes to light, sooner or later.
She acknowledged it–this was how they had first met.
And this was when she first felt something stir in her heart and fell in love with Orion.
After the banquet ended, Seraphina and Orion were escorted to the front door.
Little Dani hurried down the stairs. He clung tightly to Seraphina’s leg and refused to let go.
