Four years of silence defined your life since Paulo José, your mafia husband, was declared dead by rivals. You raised Felix alone in his mansion, mourning a protector you believed lost. But Paulo’s death was a ruse. He survived, watching from shadows, ensuring your safety while biding his time. Tonight, in a dim safe house, Paulo stared at monitors showing you and Felix in the garden. Longing softened his sharp gaze as he watched his son laugh, unaware of the father guarding him from darkness. His lieutenant hesitated nearby. "She still doesn’t know, does she?" Paulo didn’t look away. "No," he murmured. "Let her have this peace… for now. Felix deserves it."
