Howard and Santiago walked toward Russell and dropped to their knees in front of him, their faces streaked with tears.
The sight of his children breaking down finally stirred Russell’s wounded and shattered heart.
“Dominic, Howard, Santiago … it’s already good enough that you’re here… it’s enough…”
His voice shook as he wept. “I know I’ve let you down, seeing your father like this. I just can’t hold on anymore. Your mother has been hurt again and again, and I’ve been powerless to stop it. I’d rather it be me than her. You need to understand that you need to…
Moisture spilled from Russell’s lifeless eyes.
…
…”
The man who once stood tall and unyielding now collapsed beneath his own grief.
“I know… we all know…‘

Dominic and his brothers had always known their father.
The blows that struck Blair pierced Russell’s heart even deeper than theirs.
The one who bore the worst pain was not her sons.
It was Russell, her husband.
No one on this earth loved Blair more than Russell.
His love was stronger, heavier, and deeper than words could carry.
Russell valued Blair more than his own life.
If giving up his breath could restore hers, he would make that choice without a second thought.
Dominic and his brothers had grown up watching it, day after day.
Russell’s love for Blair had gone beyond flesh and vows.
It had become a truth etched into his very soul, leaving marks that could never be erased.
That devotion between their parents was what they themselves dreamed of finding.

But the woman Russell had protected so carefully, the one he held as though she might vanish at a touch, had endured two brutal accidents in only a few months.

The first destroyed the strength of her right leg.

The second cracked the back of her skull and left her in a hospital bed, unconscious and unmoving.
It wasn’t only Blair who suffered. The Jensons carried the torment too.
For Russell, it was punishment so cruel that life itself became unbearable.

That single failure had led to a catastrophic fall, leaving Blair’s skull broken and her future dangling by a thread.

If Dominic, as the eldest, let his composure crack in front of his brothers, everything would crumble.
Enemies would take their chance, and the Jensons would lose it all.
He had always understood what his parents taught him. Building an empire was hard, but holding on to it was harder. Many eyes watched in silence, waiting for Jenson Group to stumble. As the heir his parents raised, Dominic had known this truth since he was young.
Every gaze fixed on him now, heavy with expectation, waiting for him to speak.
After weighing it all, Dominic finally broke the silence.
“I’ll go to the company and handle the rest. You boys stay here and take care of Dad and Mom. And the Endralsia deal … Howard, call my contact and tell him the land deal outside the city is off for now. Something major happened here at home. We can’t push forward yet. We have to keep our ground steady. Expanding abroad will take longer, and we’ll do it piece by piece.”
His words meant casting aside a year of careful planning in Endralsia.
The chance had been perfect.
Walking away now meant another chance like it would be nearly impossible to find.
