A New Beginning.

The bags were packed, the cars loaded. Everyone—Zofia, the Lilith family, and even the bodyguards—were ready. They were all moving to London with Nora.

A grand mansion awaited them there—one nestled not far from Kai's estate. In fact, it stood just down the road, because Zayan owned the entire estate. Even the infamous Black Scars Lords resided within the vast property. Zayan made sure his people were close, protected… and together.

At the airport, Nora took a deep breath, gazing back at the land that had changed her forever.

"Bye-bye, Poland. See you next time," she whispered with a soft smile.

Zayan leaned in, wrapping an arm around her.

"Of course you'll see Poland again, love," he murmured.

And with that, they boarded the private jet.

Six hours later, the plane touched down in London.

Nora stepped out first, her heart already racing. And then she saw them.

"MAMA!!"

Two tiny voices screamed with joy—Seraphina and Lysander wobbled on their feet, running as fast as their little legs could carry them.

Nora dropped everything, ran, and scooped them into her arms, holding them tightly as if she'd never let go. She rained kisses on their heads, laughing through tears.

Behind her, Zayan stepped off the plane, smiling as he approached his little family. He kissed Seraphina, then Lysander, pride in his eyes.

"Hi Alexxxxxx!!" Nora called out, rushing to hug the man who stood at the steps of the car.

"Welcome back, Mrs. Nora," Alex said, rubbing his temples. "Your kids really gave me a headache."

Everyone laughed, including Zayan, who ruffled Lysander's hair as the twins babbled nonstop, clinging to their mother.

Inside the mansion, chaos settled into warmth. Zayan's sisters disappeared into their rooms, excited to explore their new home.

In a corner of the hallway, Donomie Corsi gently took Cersie's hand and pulled her close.

"My love, stay with me forever," he said softly, eyes full of sincerity.

Cersie blushed, heart pounding.

"Take me then," she whispered.

He didn't need another word. He kissed her deeply, right in the open.

Zayan walked past them—only to pause as Donomie turned.

"I want to marry your sister, Cersie," he declared in front of everyone. Catalina gasped.

"FINALLY!!!" Meira shouted. "Took your ass long enough!"

"CERSIE! You're getting your ass out, girl!" she screamed.

"Meira!" Melanie said, raising a brow.

"What?" Meira blinked innocently.

The next morning, Nora was gone.

Zayan woke to the quiet hum of the mansion. The twins were asleep, but Nora was nowhere to be found.

"Nora! Nora!" he called out, panic rising.

"What's wrong?" Aaila asked, coming into the hallway.

"It's Nora—I can't find her anywhere," Zayan said, worry clouding his face.

"Check the cameras," Neal suggested calmly.

Zayan immediately grabbed his iPad and scrubbed through footage. At 5:57 AM, Nora was seen walking through the mansion gates… skipping.

"She left alone?" Asher asked.

Maverick and Nathaira worked together, hacking into the street and park cameras. They found her—live—on a swing at the park, gently rocking back and forth like a child.

Zayan watched silently.

She stayed there for nearly an hour. Then something caught her attention—a Siberian husky, beautiful but injured, stuck inside a hole. The dog howled pitifully.

"Hi doggy," Nora said softly, crawling down to help.

The husky barked weakly but wagged his tail. She gently pulled him out of the hole.

"Why are you out here, huh? You don't have a home?" she whispered, stroking his fur.

The husky bowed its head and whimpered.

"Well… Nora will take you now. Let's go back home, okay?" she said sweetly.

She giggled as the dog licked her face and followed her all the way back.

Back at the mansion, she politely asked one of the guards for some soap and bathing supplies. She washed the dog herself, humming a little tune.

"All clean," she smiled.

The dog barked again in gratitude.

"You're welcome," she replied, and led him inside.

"I'm back!" Nora said as she walked in, the husky trotting proudly beside her.

Everyone turned.

"Nora, where did you go?" Damian asked.

"I went to the park. And Nora found a doggy there. The doggy's arms were hurt… so now the doggy belongs to me!" she said proudly, hugging the husky.

They all blinked at her—speechless.

"Nora loves doggy," she added sweetly.

Zayan smiled, deeply amused by his wife's innocence.

"Well, Mrs. Kai," Maverick said, arm around Nathaira's waist, "does your dog have a name?"

Nora nodded.

"MAX!" she said loudly. "Max," she repeated, turning to the dog.

The husky barked, tail wagging.

"See? He likes it," she said, clapping joyfully.

Later that evening, she introduced the twins to Max. The children immediately fell in love with the dog, hugging him as he lay gently between them.

And Max, the loyal husky, knew one thing already—he belonged to Nora and would protect her and her babies with his whole heart.
