Both Lucas and Camila missed her a lot, so they began whining. “Mommy, we miss you a lot! Since you’re not at home, no one can put us to bed.”

Before departing the country, she agreed that Nathaniel’s bodyguard would accompany her on the condition that Nathaniel would remain at home to care for their children. Yet, to her confusion, it seemed that he hadn’t made much effort to fulfill his parental responsibilities.

Nathaniel felt a surge of panic as he realized how close the kids had come to exposing the truth.
