The sudden silence from her side was deafening, and the realization that he didn't even know where she resided made his frustration swell. Where on earth could he even begin searching for her?

After a brief outburst of anger, Mars crouched down to retrieve his phone, the device that felt like a lifeline in this moment of confusion. He was determined to unravel the mystery of Autumn's connection to the Bennett Group, a thread that seemed to weave through the fabric of their lives. Just as he contemplated dialing her number once more, his phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. His heart raced with anticipation, and without a second thought, he answered the call, not even glancing at the caller ID. "Autumn!" he exclaimed, his voice tinged with a mix of hope and desperation.

However, the voice that responded was not the one he longed to hear. "Mars? It's me." The unmistakable tone of Lydia Lopez cut through his excitement like a cold wind. Instantly, irritation bubbled within him. "Oh, it's you, Lydia. What's going on?" he replied, his impatience evident. "I'm kind of in the middle of something. Can we talk later?" His finger hovered over the end call button, itching to disconnect as soon as she agreed. Yet, Lydia, sensing his urgency, feigned innocence in her usual playful manner. "What's wrong? C'mon, tell me.

Maybe I can help?" Despite her simmering anger, Lydia remembered her mother's advice to keep Mars engaged, forcing her to swallow her frustration. In the past, whenever she had thrown a tantrum, Mars had been quick to apologize. Now, after days of silence from him, she felt compelled to reach out. A hint of grievance crept into her voice, "Are you really being this distant just because of that project? Didn't you promise you'd always spoil me?" The moment she uttered those words, a wave of annoyance washed over Mars.

It was the worst possible thing she could have said, instantly reminding him of the disastrous deal with the Mistveil Group that had slipped through his fingers. "I spoiled you too much! That's why you're pulling this nonsense!" he retorted, his voice rising. "Do you even grasp how much Cloudbreak stands to lose because that project is going to the Lopez Group?" "Lydia, you're not a child anymore. When Autumn was your age, she was out there hustling for business, drumming up investments for me. And what about you?" The moment Mars made that comparison, Lydia's anger ignited.

If she weren't trying to maintain some semblance of maturity, she would have demanded to know why he was still so entangled with Autumn if he was so infatuated with her. Why had he gotten Autumn pregnant if he had such high expectations for Lydia? Mars had painted himself into a corner, and she wondered if he was now regretting his choices. "Mars, how could you say that to me...? I was just worried about you, trying to help... What you said really hurts." With a calculated vulnerability, Lydia played her trump card, letting her voice tremble.

"I know I shouldn't have gotten between you and my sister. I'm sorry. It won't happen again. I'll disappear. I promise not to interfere with your happiness with her." "Honestly, I'm just grateful for the time we shared. I wish you and my sister a happily ever after. And our baby... even though I won't be there for his birth, I know you'll be a great father and take good care of him, right?" "Goodbye." "You'll never see me again." Before Mars could respond, Lydia hung up abruptly, leaving him in stunned silence.

In a moment of despair, she grabbed a fruit knife and made a shallow cut on her wrist. Watching the crimson droplets trickle down, she snapped a picture and posted it on Facebook, restricting visibility to 'Only Mars.' When Mars saw Lydia's post, panic surged through him like wildfire. He called her repeatedly, his heart racing, even attempting a video call, but she remained unresponsive. The only option left was to comment on her post. [Lydia, don't do anything reckless!] [That's not what I meant before!] [I wasn't putting you down; I was just drunk and in a bad mood.

Just pretend it was all drunk talk, okay? Lydia, don't scare me! Please answer me!] His frantic comments were met with an eerie silence. Overwhelmed with fear, Mars didn't even consider reaching out to their mutual friends. He snatched his car keys and dashed out of the door, urgency propelling him forward. As he arrived at the villa he shared with Lydia, his legs felt like jelly as he stepped out of the car. "Lydia?" he called out, anxiety lacing his voice. "Where are you?" He rushed inside, but the house was eerily quiet.

Pulling out his phone, he tried calling her again, and then he heard it-a familiar ringtone echoing from the upstairs bathroom. His heart raced, and he sprinted up the stairs. Bursting through the bathroom door, he was met with a sight that froze him in place-Lydia was sitting in the bathtub, the water stained crimson with her blood. Horrified, Mars lunged forward, scooping her into his arms, his heart pounding in his chest as he screamed her name in sheer panic. Lydia lay limp, her complexion as pale as a ghost, resembling a wilted flower in his embrace.

The anguish that gripped Mars felt like a vice around his heart, squeezing so tightly that tears streamed down his cheeks. "Lydia, don't scare me... You have to be okay..." He rushed her out of the bathroom, his mind racing as he dialed for an ambulance, praying for her life. Twenty agonizing minutes later, the ambulance arrived, whisking Lydia away. In that time, Mars had managed to steady his breathing, though the image of the blood-filled tub haunted him. He quickly sent texts to Oliver and Mrs. Lopez, then tried calling Autumn again.

When her phone went unanswered, his expression darkened with worry. He opened their chat and typed a grim message, desperation clawing at him. Then, he climbed into the ambulance with her, determined to be there for her as family. Meanwhile, Autumn had taken a brief nap, only to awaken to her phone buzzing incessantly with missed calls and messages. She squinted at the screen, surprised to see notifications from her parents, Oliver, and Mrs. Lopez, alongside the frantic messages from Mars. A frown creased her brow as she wondered what kind of drama they were all orchestrating now.

She had no intention of responding, but just as she set her phone down, it rang again. Startled, her finger slipped, accidentally answering the call. "Autumn Lopez!" her father's booming voice thundered through the line. "Your sister is in the hospital, and we can't even reach you! Is this how you take care of her?" "What did your mother and I tell you before we left? You promised you'd look after her. Are you trying to 'look after' her to death?" Autumn's frown deepened, confusion swirling in her mind as she wondered what kind of stunt Lydia had pulled this time.

Before she could even voice her questions, her father barked, "County Hospital, inpatient wing, room 608. Get over here now, or don't blame me for disowning you!" The call ended abruptly, leaving Autumn staring at her phone's dark screen, a bitter, helpless smile twisting her lips. With a sense of urgency, she got up, changed her clothes, and made her way downstairs to ask the driver to take her to the County Hospital. The driver and staff exchanged anxious glances upon hearing her destination. "Is everything alright, ma'am? Are you feeling unwell?" Autumn shook her head firmly.

"My sister is sick. I'm going to see her." The driver let out a sigh of relief. "I'll take you right away." Settling into the car, Autumn contemplated sending a text to Owen Bennett but ultimately decided against it. There was no need for that. She tucked her phone away, choosing instead to gaze out the window as the scenery whizzed by. Half an hour later, she arrived at the hospital room her father had mentioned. The moment she pushed the door open, she was met with a searing slap across her face, accompanied by a torrent of furious curses.

Conclusion As the chaos of the day unfolded, Mars found himself grappling with the weight of his decisions and the fragility of the bonds he once took for granted.

In that harrowing moment, he realized that love, while a source of strength, could also become a weapon of destruction when left unexamined.

Meanwhile, Autumn's journey to the hospital was marked by a tumult of emotions-fear, anger, and confusion. The confrontation with her father had ignited a spark of resentment, but it also propelled her toward a reckoning with her own choices.
