The images serve as painful reminders of their bond, intensifying his desperation to find her. As he grapples with his emotions, he instructs his team to locate her, but the news of her vanishing only deepens his anxiety.
Mars rushes to the Maternity Care Center, only to be met with chaos and a crowd of reporters discussing the horrific circumstances surrounding Amelia's situation. Pushing through the throng, he is confronted with an empty lobby, amplifying his despair and triggering memories of their last conversation, where he had pushed her away with cruel words.

Upon returning home, he is met with Sophia's frustration over his earlier outburst at their sons, which serves as a reminder of the consequences of his anger and the disconnection it has caused within his family.

In a fit of rage, he seized his subordinate by the collar, his voice a low growl filled with urgency. "What did you just say?! Who? Was it Amelia?!" The subordinate, visibly shaken, quickly thrust a stack of photographs into Mars's hands, his eyes wide with fear. "Mr. Lynch, look. This is what we found." As Mars glanced at the images, his heart sank. They captured moments of joy-him and Amelia laughing together on bustling city streets, sharing an intimate kiss atop a serene mountaintop, and embracing under a sky ablaze with fireworks.

A sharp pain sliced through his head, and he instinctively cradled it in his hands, his voice quivering with desperation. "Quick! Go fetch Amelia and bring her back! I'm going abroad myself to investigate!" His subordinate's face paled, and he looked as if he might crumble into tears. "Mr. Lynch... the guys on the ground... they said Amelia disappeared two days ago..." The world around Mars began to spin, his heart racing as panic took hold. Without a second thought, he bolted out the door, sprinting toward the Maternity Care Center where I was staying.
In his haste, he even lost one of his shoes, but he didn't care; nothing mattered except finding me. As he reached the center, he was met with a chaotic scene. Reporters swarmed the entrance, their voices a cacophony of outrage. "How could anyone be so heartless? Sending someone to stab a baby's mouth! People like that deserve to rot in hell!" one reporter exclaimed, shaking his head in disbelief. "I know, right? A newborn is so innocent. How could she be so vicious?!" another chimed in, her voice dripping with disdain. "I heard Mr. Lynch had her eyes and mouth sewn shut! Serves her right!
Even being tortured to death is too good for her!" a third voice called out, filled with venom. Mars pushed through the throng, his determination fueling him as he ordered his men to force their way into the lobby of the center. But once inside, a chilling realization washed over him: the lobby was empty. There was no sign of me. A sharp pang of despair pierced through his heart, and memories of our last conversation flooded his mind. "From now on, we're done," I had said, my voice echoing in his ears.
The same searing pain he felt then returned, a reminder of the walls he had built around himself. He had been so afraid to admit his feelings that he had resorted to cruel words, hiding the truth of how deeply I affected him. Frantically, he began making calls, grounding flights and instructing his team to scour every airport and train station for any trace of me. But as the hours ticked by, it became painfully clear that they had found nothing. Just then, his phone buzzed, cutting through the tension. It was Sophia. "Mars... you need to come quickly...
our daughter is crying again, and neither the nanny nor I can calm her down..." her voice trembled with worry. "She must miss her daddy. Please come home!" Taking a deep breath, Mars forced himself to calm down. She couldn't have gone far, he thought, and sent his bodyguards to continue their search for me while he headed home to comfort Sophia and the children. When he entered the house, Sophia's expression shifted from worry to annoyance. "Look at you! The boys came to the center to surprise us, and you just yelled at them and sent them away!" she exclaimed, her arms crossed in frustration.
"Now their big brothers aren't here to play with her, and our daughter is getting fussy, too!" Mars couldn't help but recall the chaotic scene from a few days ago when his two sons had burst into the Maternity Care Center, bubbling with excitement. They had laughed, boasting about how they had used sulfuric acid on me, reveling in the twisted delight of my suffering. In that moment, rage had consumed him, and he had erupted, shouting at them before racing home to check on my injuries. "Mars... Mars? What are you lost in thought about?
Come on, hold our daughter!" Sophia's voice broke through his reverie, and he realized his little girl was gazing up at him, a smile lighting up her tiny face. The grimness that had clouded his features melted away, replaced by a rush of love as he scooped her into his arms, holding her close. Yet his mind was still tangled in chaos, oblivious to the text message that had just arrived on Sophia's phone: "Mrs. Lynch, I did what you said and framed my boss. About that $250,000 you promised..." Drifting in and out of consciousness, I found myself lost in a whirlwind of memories.
My first love hadn't been Mars; it had been Lucas Hughes, the golden boy of the Imperial Capital Region. We had been childhood sweethearts, inseparable from kindergarten through high school, our families living side by side. It was during our freshman year of college that we finally, almost instinctively, became a couple. But we were young and reckless, always bickering and threatening to break up over trivial matters. So, in our senior year, I made the difficult decision to end things and left to study abroad alone, seeking a new path away from the turbulence of our relationship.
Conclusion In the aftermath of chaos, Mars stood at the precipice of a profound realization. The frantic search for me had unearthed not just the depths of his love but also the haunting echoes of his past mistakes. As he cradled his daughter, the innocent laughter of his children began to bridge the chasm of despair that had formed between us. Each moment spent with her served as a reminder that love was not merely a fleeting emotion but an anchor, a force that could heal the wounds of the heart.
The weight of his previous decisions pressed heavily upon him, yet the warmth of his daughter's embrace ignited a flicker of hope within him. Perhaps, amidst the turmoil, he could still find a way to mend the fractured connections in his life. Meanwhile, I drifted through memories that intertwined with the present, my heart aching with the remnants of a love that had once defined me. Lucas, the golden boy of my youth, represented a simpler time, yet the shadows of that relationship loomed large as I faced the uncertainty of my current situation.
As she navigates the challenges ahead, readers will be left wondering how her past choices will influence her present circumstances. With mounting tension and unresolved conflicts, the upcoming chapter is set to be a thrilling ride filled with unexpected twists and revelations that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, eager to uncover what lies beyond the broken horizon.
