Despite Colbyâs youthful innocence, Kyson couldnât help but see Nathanâs features in him, which stirred a complex feeling within him.
âYou need to be strong, Colby,â Kyson muttered to the baby.
âYouâre the brother here.
You must grow up to be as formidable as your father.
One day, Iâll have him send you to the National Security Bureau for rigorous training.
Thatâs how youâll make your mark.
â
After imparting his hopes to Colby, Kyson turned to Destinee, fondly rubbing her chubby cheeks.
âIf Lucinda and I had a daughter, she would surely be as beautiful and sweet as Destinee,â he mused.
When alone with the twins, his affection towards each of them was noticeably different.

As night fell, Sonny carried a beautifully decorated cake back home.
The villa was dark, suggesting no one was there.
He searched through the house but couldnât find Luisa anywhere.
It was now nine in the evening.
When Luisa went out with her friends, she usually returned home much earlier.
Every other night, she would be waiting on the sofa, ready to greet him with a hug and a sweetly uttered âSonnyâ as soon as he walked through the door.
Tonight was unusually quiet.
Worried that something might have happened to her, Sonny quickly dialed her number.
After a few rings, the call was abruptly ended.
A synthesized voice informed him that the other party was busy and unable to answer.
Puzzled and about to try calling again, Sonny noticed a new message on MSN that sent a surge of anger through him.
The contact name of the message sender read, âMy Beauty.
â
Luisa had secretly grabbed his phone and changed the name while he slept and wouldnât allow him to alter it without getting upset.
She sent a message saying, âI wonât come back tonight.
I want to spend the night outside.
The young policeman you sent is very handsome.
â
Sonny read this message several times, his anger mounting with each repetition.
The world wasnât safe for a young girl to stay out all night.
Her lack of safety awareness was alarming.
And she was complimenting other boys for being handsome?
He recalled the first time he saw Luisa in the dungeon of Eurfrica.
She had only eyes for him as she chased after him, saying he was so handsome.
The thought of losing Luisa filled Sonny with dread.
