Cole had to take this step. As for her, all she needed to do was stay by his side, in his darkest moments,
whenever he turned around, she would be there just as she had promised.
“Father, please. I'm begging you.”
Cole's jaw was clenched tight, his voice trembling. He squeezed Alessia’s hand, gripping so hard it hurt, but
Alessia didn’t complain or even try to pull away.
Xander paused in the middle of threading the needle, and if you looked closely, you could see his hands shaking
just a little.
He glanced at the butler, who immediately understood. The butler stepped forward, closing the door to shield
Cole and Alessia from what was happening inside.
With that, Xander shut his eyes. When he opened them again, they were filled with grim determination.

brimmed with sorrow and pride.
“The kids... please take care of them for me.”

“They're both waiting outside. I'll let them in.”
The moment Jade opened her eyes, it was like a clock started counting down.
“Lessie... cin.” Jade's words were slow and almost inaudible, so quiet that Xander had to lean in to catch

The door closed again. Cole stood outside, rigid and lost, like a child who'd just been scolded, or a puppy left out
in the rain.
