Caught in the throes of a life-and-death crisis, Valerie found herself trapped between the instinct for self-

preservation and the desperate need to save her children.

A rare clarity washed over her, illuminating the harsh reality of her situation.

She could escape now, save herself, but her children would be left to perish. If she didn't make it out, they would

all die, leaving no one to avenge them.

She could be ruthless, she could choose survival, but the thought of watching her children burn alive required a

heart of steel and a strength she wasn't sure she possessed. Valerie drew in a deep breath, the thick smoke

filling her lungs and triggering a violent cough.

Her fists clenched, determination flashing in her eyes as she rose to her feet and bolted for the

exit."Mommy!!""Mommy, save Hannah... it hurts so much!"Valerie froze at the doorway, turning back as if pulled

by invisible strings. Through the haze, she saw her children crying out in agony, their pleas tugging at her

heartstrings. Her hand on the blistering door frsizzled, but she felt nothing. "Mommy...""Do you not want us

anymore...?"Their voices grew fainter, barely audible over the roar of the flames. Valerie was torn between her

own survival and the desperate need to save her children.

She was just one step away from safety, but if she turned back, she might never make it out. In her despair, she

glanced down and, almost comically, noticed two keys lying on the ground by the door. Like a divine

intervention, the keys made the choice for her, silencing her rational mind.

Without a moment's hesitation, Valerie bent down, snatched the keys, and plunged back into the inferno.

Meanwhile, Wayne had already gone to handle the paperwork, transferring the shares to his name. The mountain

blazed brightly, and the people below could vaguely see the billowing smoke piercing the sky.

"Is there a fire up on the mountain?""Yeah, something's burning up there."Spectators paused in their tracks,

craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the spectacle. Stook pictures with their phones, while others called

to report the emergency.

Elsewhere, Alexander had taken Quinn out for a movie and was now treating her to lunch. Despite a slight ache

in her knee, Quinn hadn't walked too much.

Alexander had spent the entire day with her, a rarity since their wedding. His presence, his attention, felt like the

grandest of gifts. That afternoon, he had taken Quinn shopping for clothes. Though he bought a lot, none were to

Quinn's taste; they were what he liked.

He purchased items for both winter and spring, carrying the bursting bags until dusk when they finally got into

the car."Did you enjoy today?" Alexander asked, turning to her.Quinn could only nod, a gesture that under

normal circumstances would indicate happiness, but she wasn't happy. His behavior was too out of

character.Alexander reached out, gently touching her cheek.

"As long as you're happy.'His smile

was cryptic. His phone rang then, but

he seemed in no rush to answer.

Instead, he asked Quinn, "What do

you feel like for dinner?"Quinn

glanced at his chest, where the

phone continued to ring. After a

out his phone. Before Alexander

could speak, Freya's voice came

through urgently, "Bro, where are
