This was Nina's only hope now. She and Nash longed for their family's acceptance and blessings.

Dominic nodded in agreement. "You have my word. Now that we've come this far, I won't trouble you and Nash anymore."

He had once hoped Nash would take over his position and become the next president of Salterra. But Nash had no interest in such a role. He wanted a simple life. Dominic, burdened with guilt over his neglect of Nash's mother and the years of distance between them, could not bear to see his son trapped in a life of suffering. "Thank you," Nina said, her gratitude making Dominic feel even more conflicted.

Nina and Nash had been married for five years, living together through thick and thin. To them, they were meant to be. Yet Nina was still thanking him for something that should have been a given. The estrangement between him and Nash weighed heavily on Dominic's heart, filling him with regret.

Nash and Nina stayed in Salterra for a while, helping Dominic stabilize the situation. But things took a dangerous turn when Nash's older brothers attempted to assassinate him.

However, Nash had anticipated the threat. With Micah's help and the careful preparations Nash had made, the assassination attempt failed.

Even after their capture, Nash's brothers refused to admit their wrongdoing. Instead, when they saw Nash, their eyes burned with hatred, and they still sought to take him down with them. Nash could see from their hateful glares that they saw him as a rival who overshadowed them, fueling their resentment.
