Later, Tyrone finally found out that the bowl of grits she once made for him was something she had secretly practiced for a whole month. She thought it was the best she’d ever cooked.

Back then, he hadn’t cherished it at all.

Now, the bowl of grits he was eating had been brought by someone else–under false pretenses.

Tyrone gave a short, bitter laugh.

He laughed until his eyes filled with tears.

Tyrone lay weakly on the couch.

His stomach hurt. His chest ached. He couldn’t eat or sleep. Tyrone just stayed awake through the night, hurting in silence until morning came.

By late afternoon the next day, Tyrone sat staring blankly at Aella’s latest Instagram post in his office.

She had taken the day off to attend Henry’s parent–teacher meeting. Aella even picked the boy up

after school.

Did she really want to be with Mason?

Was she planning to become someone else’s stepmother?

Tyrone’s breathing turned uneven. Without thinking, he dialed her number.

At that moment, Aella was walking Henry across the street. When she saw Tyrone’s name flash on the screen, she hung up right away.

“Aella, I think someone’s following us,” Henry said suddenly.

Aella looked around. She didn’t take him seriously. “Really? You’re not just trying to scare me again, are you?”

Henry squeezed her hand and suddenly broke into a run. They crossed the street together.

“Aella, you have zero sense of danger,” he scolded.

He quickly tried calling his bodyguard using his smartwatch, but there was no signal. The call wouldn’t go through.

Aella looked at Henry, and her heart sank.

Tyrone had once mentioned that Mason had taken a dangerous case.

After Mason won the lawsuit, the losing side suffered huge losses.

To get revenge, they kidnapped Mason’s wife and son.

The boy was rescued, but Mason’s wife was killed.

Could it be happening again? Was someone targeting Henry to get back at Mason?

Aella’s grip tightened around her phone. She didn’t call Mason right away. He was overseas. Even if she told him, he couldn’t come back in time.

Real or not, she had to be careful.

“Henry, we’re going to the hospital,” she said, pulling him toward her car.

The hospital wasn’t far, and Daniel was there.

He’d know what to do.

She opened the back door for Henry to get in.

But before she could react, a hand shot out from inside the car and yanked Henry inside.

It happened in broad daylight. Aella froze. She hadn’t realized someone had broken into her

car.

A man held a dagger to Henry’s neck and ordered her to get in.

For Henry’s safety, Aella did as she was told.

It was late at night in the suburbs of Vleka.

Inside an old, abandoned gas storage warehouse, Aella and Henry had been tied up separate warehouses.

Mason bursted in with his bodyguards, storming through the darkness to rescue his son. “Buddy, are you hurt anywhere?” he asked anxiously.

The moment the tape was ripped off Henry’s mouth, the boy let out a loud cry. Tears streamed down his face as he pointed toward the next warehouse. “Dad! The bad guys took Aella in there!“,

He handed Henry to one of his men. “Get him out of here. Now.”

“Mr. Fulford, wait!” One of the guards blocked his path. “We already made too much noise. The next warehouse is full of propane tanks. It’s too dangerous. You can’t go in!”

Before the guard could finish, Mason was already sprinting toward the warehouse.

Inside, Aella sat bound to a metal post, her mouth sealed with tape.

The men around Aella were talking in low, vicious voices. “Break her legs first,” one said. “We’ll use her as a hostage when we leave.”

Her mind went blank with fear. These men were ruthless–killers with nothing to lose. And Henry … Was he okay?

One of them raised a metal rod and swung it toward her legs. Aella shut her eyes in despair, bracing for the hit.

But before the blow landed, a scream split the air, followed by the sound of fists slamming into flesh, bodies hitting the ground, and chaos breaking loose.

When she finally opened her eyes, those men who’d been threatening her were crawling away, groaning and clutching their injuries.

And in front of her was Mason, frantically untying the ropes around her wrists.

The moment she saw him, tears welled up and spilled over.

The sight of him felt like hope itself–so close, so familiar, so safe. Mason glanced up, his voice steady but gentle. “Hey. You’re okay. I’m here now. I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Aella tore the tape off her mouth, her skin burning from the pull.

“Mason–Henry! He’s next door!”

He steadied her by the arm. “It’s okay. He’s safe. Let’s get you out first.”

Hearing that, Aella finally let out a shaky breath of relief.

But just as they turned toward the exit, a burning lighter flew in through the window.

Mason’s face changed in an instant. “Damn it–run!” He grabbed Aella’s hand and sprinted for the door.

Before Aella could even react, an explosion roared behind them. A blast of scorching heat and

shattered metal tore through the air, flinging shards of propane tanks straight toward them.
