CHAPTER 51

  Zeke's POV

  I had searched tirelessly for her, combing through every lead and following every clue, but she remained elusive. It pained me to think of her alone, struggling alone to survive with the kids. I know I sent her a lot of money after the accident, but I don't think it was enough.

  I cannot let Kamille find out that I know the truth about the kids. I sighed.

  I wiped away the tears that stained my cheeks. The Manors had to be taken care of once and for all, if Kamille and the kids were to be freed from danger.

  The Manors were faced with public scrutiny, but that did not stop their dirty activities.

  I made my way to each of my children's beds, a mixture of love and sadness welling up inside me. I planted gentle kisses on their heads.

  As I reached Reon, his eyes fluttered open, and we locked gazes for a moment, a silent understanding passing between us.

  "How is Royer and mum?" Reon asked, breaking the silence with a soft voice filled with concern.
