Chapter 162: One Year Later

"Mommy!"

I pulled back from hugging her when I saw my twins running toward me. I almost stood up when Chiara tripped, but Thunder quickly caught her. "Ouch," I winced as Chiara bumped into my IV line.

She immediately stepped back, raising her hands apologetically and pouting. "Ow, sorry, mom."

Her adorable, apologetic eyes melted the pain away. I kissed her forehead, smiling.

Ash would be happy if he were here, wouldn't he?

"Chiara, Thunder... How did you get here?" I asked, puzzled. I had sent them to another country. "Did Finnick bring you back to the States?"

"States?" Thunder asked back, his brows furrowing. "No, Mommy. You're in Hawaii with us. Uncle Mason brought you here."

I clenched my fists in anger. That fucker.

I just nodded, suppressing the annoyance I felt. What are they planning at this time, and why do they keep excluding me?

"Live, Sapphire. I wanted you to have a normal life."

Suddenly, everything Ash had said to me before came flooding into my mind. Is it because of that? That they want me to live peacefully without even fighting back? "Sapphire, are you here?!"

I snapped out of my thoughts when Evangeline barged into my room.

"That motherfucking Mason tricked me into going here-" She stopped, seeing the twins and Mom with me. "Oh, hi, babies! Hello, Miss Miller!"

Smiling awkwardly, Evangeline looked like she wanted the ground to swallow her whole out of embarrassment. I couldn't help but laugh a little. I never thought Mason would bring her here, too. My dream has come true... and Ash's dream for me as well.

I will try my best to live a normal life, Ash. Just like you wanted me to.

And I will clear your name.

"WELCOME BACK, Ma'am!"

Every employee I passed at my condo building greeted me as I walked into the office.

It's been a year since I stayed in Hawaii. Running a company from a different country wasn't easy, especially since I was alone.

But thanks to my secretary, everything became tolerable.
