Chapter 6
1 kicked Mason square in the back, slamming him facedown on the floor and pinning him beneath my foot.
“Mom, don’t let this idiot get to you. He’s not worth it. Just leave him to me-I have my own ways to deal with him.”
I turned to the guards and ordered them to drag the two of them away.
Then I leaned in close to my mom, pouting. “Mom, my face really hurts… Will you come with me to get it treated?”
That finally snapped her out of it. She gently brushed her fingers over my injured cheek and accompanied me to the
hospital.
The top dermatologists and plastic surgeons in the city gathered in the treatment room. After disinfecting my wounds.
they held a consultation to determine the best course of treatment, ensuring that no scars would be left behind.
Once the plan was set, the crowd slowly dispersed, leaving just my mother and me in the hospital room.
I rested my head on her shoulder and gently comforted her. “Mom, don’t pay attention to anything that idiot Mason
said
Her voice trembled with guilt and sorrow. “Sloane, your father really did die because of me… Do you blame me? For
making you grow up without a dad?”
I shook my head and hugged her tightly. I knew her heart had been heavier than anyone’s all these years.
My father had once been a notorious gang leader, with countless men under his command. Kai Cruz was one of his
lackeys.
But then my dad met my mom-it was love at first sight.
From that moment on, the playboy who used to spend his days fighting and partying gave it all up. He loved only my
mother.
But that also made her his greatest weakness.
His enemies tried to get to him through her, over and over again. In the end, he died protecting her
I hadn’t even turned one yet. I later heard from the older people who stayed by my mom’s side that it it hadn’t been for
me, she would’ve gone with him.
For my sake, she pulled herself out of that grief. She disbanded my father’s gang and handpicked the smartest and most business-savvy among them, helping them start companies.
She knew that too much attention brought trouble, so she kept a low profile and never appeared in the media. She made sure no one ever targeted me again.

Lo amé en silencio. Él eligió a su primer amor. Ahora acepto casarme con otro.
The truth was, my mother had helped build all three of Asteria City’s top financial empires-something only a very few
insiders knew.
People like Mason had no idea who she really was. That was why he had the gall to run his mouth.
A week passed, and under the doctors’ care, the wounds on my face had fully healed. My skin was smoother and fairer
than before.
Our housekeeper came in again, this time carrying a gift from Kai-it was a rare, high-end bottle of red wine. Clearly, he had been pulling all the stops to rescue his son.
It was about time to go see how Mason and Aubrey were doing.
I had the housekeeper send word to Kai, then ordered the guards to bring the two of them up from the basement.
In just seven days, they looked like completely different people. Hair disheveled, bodies reeking-they were a mess.
Aubrey’s face was so badly infected from the untreated wounds that it had swelled grotesquely. Her face was beyond repair-she was completely disfigured.
As soon as Mason saw Kai, tears welled up in his eyes. He scrambled over, crawling like a beaten dog.
“Dad! You finally came! You have no idea what we’ve been through…”
