His Knees, His Pleas, But Our Son's in Peace

Carlos walked in, carrying a tray of coffee for everyone. "Thought you could use this," he said, handing out the steaming cups.

Blair took a sip and raised his eyebrows. "These beans... they're from the Royal Estate," he said, impressed. "This is rare stuff."

I smiled. "Blair, your sharp tongue never misses a detail, does it?"He grinned back. "Well, the Alpha Pack is known for having the best sense of taste." The room filled with light laughter. For a moment, it felt good to relax, even if just for a second.

When I finally got home, I felt the exhaustion settle deep in my bones. But I couldn't sleep yet. I walked through the house and saw one of Oliver's toys on the table. It was one of his favorites, a little action figure he used to carry everywhere.]]Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

I picked it up and placed it in a box I'd been filling with his things. He had always wanted to go camping to see the Northern Lights. But that trip never happened. Sienna had twisted things, badmouthing him to Nathan, ruining any chance they had to reconcile. She had stolen so much from him, from all of us.

But that was behind me now. All of it.[]

I looked over at a picture of Cyrus sitting on the shelf. A new life was starting. One without all the pain and betrayal.]

I kept looking at the picture and said to myself, "This is our time," I whispered. "No more drama. No more pain". I took a deep breath. "I deserve peace," I said, trying to believe it. "It's time to move forward. Together," I added, feeling a bit

stronger.

I took a deep breath as I approached the luxurious garden once again, holding the successful results of my technical team's research close to my chest. The sun filtered through the trees, creating a serene atmosphere that felt unusual for this place. Today, it was especially quiet, as silent as a held breath before a grand reveal.]

"Can you believe we did it?" I said to Blair, holding the folder with our research results tightly. "After all those late nights and brainstorming sessions, our hard work finally paid off." Blair smiled, his eyes shining with excitement. "This breakthrough is going to change everything for us. We really pulled together as a team."

"Absolutely! I said." I knew we could do it," Blair continued, his excitement shining through. "It's great to see our ideas finally take shape. Remember those times when we thought we wouldn't finish? Now look at what we've done!" His words reminded me of our late nights spent brainstorming, fueled by coffee and laughter. It felt good to know our hard work had paid off.

Blair walked beside me as we moved. Inside the house, a young woman was arranging flowers. She looked up, nodded at us, and then went back to her work. An elegant older woman emerged from the shadows, her graceful conduct instantly started putting me at ease. "Doris, Blair, welcome!" she said. [

"Thank you for having us," I replied, feeling a rush of confidence as I prepared to present my results. "I have some exciting news to share. We've been working tirelessly on this project, and I can't wait to show you what we've accomplished so far."I Blair spoke up, "I think you'll like it. It's been a real team effort, and we're excited about the potential."

I launched into my presentation, detailing the successful results of my technical team's research. "We've developed a new process that increases efficiency by 30%," I explained, my voice steady and full of enthusiasm. "This breakthrough could 78.7%

really impact our production timeline."]

Blair watched with admiration, and I noticed the older woman's eyes light up with interest. "That sounds remarkable, Doris!" she exclaimed. "You've done a wonderful job!"[]

After my presentation, the older woman leaned in and asked. "Doris, can you explain how your team plans to implement these results in a real-world setting?" I felt a surge of confidence as I addressed her concerns, detailing our step-by-step approach and the potential challenges we might face. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she posed another tough question about scalability. "What if the demand exceeds your capacity?" I paused for a moment, then confidently outlined our strategies for expansion and resource management. As I finished answering her questions, I noticed Blair watching with admiration.]

As I wrapped up my presentation, I could see the excitement in their expressions. The young woman returned, holding a contract in her hands. "Here it is!" she said, her smile bright.[]

The older woman took the contract and signed it without hesitation. "I'm thrilled to partner with you," she said, her voice filled with approval. "You've earned this, Doris." I believe this partnership will bring us great success." I couldn't help but smile at that moment. "I look forward to what we can achieve together," she added. []

I could hardly believe it. This contract not only paid well, but it also marked a significant step forward for me and my

team. "Thank you so much!" I replied, beaming with pride. The joy bubbling inside me was overwhelming, and I wanted to celebrate.
