NovelEnglishChapter 0923
Seeing Arla go from disbelief to outright desperation stirred something deep inside Maximus. He hadn't lived
through the spain as she had, but he understood uncertainty-he was living it himself, not knowing where his
own eldest son was.
“We can leave now. My car is parked on the other side of the bridge. Just say the word, and we’ll go.” He tried to
keep his voice steady, calm..
But inside, his nerves were a tangled mess.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized-Peter didn’t even know that he and Maximus weren't full
brothers. Had he even considered that? In all the rush of filing Aria alive, he had never stopped to think about
how Peter would react to this revelation.
He'd have to explain it all on the way. He didn’t want Aria to be caught off guard.
Aria stood up and walked briskly toward the reception desk
“Danielle! Danielle!” Her voice trembled with emotion. “I have to leave! | have to go to Valeria! | have to-my
son! My son! He's alive! Do you hear me? He's alive!”
Danielle froze. “Aria... wait... what? You have a son? And he’s alive? | don’t understand any of this.”
Aria had always been fiercely private about that part of her past. She had never spoken about her child. Never
even whispered a word. She had always feared that saying it out loud would somehow erase what little memory
she had
left of him.
Danielle shook her head, trying to process. “Aria... you can’t just trust this man! We don’t know who he is or
what he really wants!”
“She’ll be fine!” Maximus interjected, though he hadn't considered how this must have looked from Danielle's
perspective.

growing more anxious by the second.
“He has photos of my son! | know it’s him! | just know it’s him!” Aria’s hands fumbled as she grabbed a sweater
and a small bag.
“Aria! You're not going alone. Letcall the neighbor to watch the hotel, and we're going together. You are not
going alone.”
“And Ellie?” Aria hesitated.
“She’s coming with us.” Danielle's voice was firm.
She was afraid, but she couldn't let Aria leave on her own. And there was no way she was leaving Ellie behind,
either.
So, in a moment of complete recklessness, she prayed to every saint she could think of, entrusted the hotel to
the neighbor, and joined the group heading to Valeria.
Once they crossed the bridge, Maximus led them toward his car. Danielle and Aria’s eyes widened the moment
they saw it.
It was a car that screamed wealth, power. It was impossible to ignore.
Danielle took a deep breath. “Oh, dear God... Please don't let this be a mistake."

She turned to Aria. “This is the first tyou've ever acted like this. Do you really want to go? Do you really trust
this man?”
Aria exhaled slowly. “Danielle, I understand if you don’t want to come. But I've lived my whole life without my
son. If there's even the slightest chance that | can see him, have to take it. Please... try to understand.”
Danielle sighed. “I'm not letting you go alone. If you go, we go. Remember?”
Aria smiled weakly. “Thank you.”
Even if she couldn't explain it, something inside her told her that this man-this stranger-was telling the truth.

As they drove, Maximus took a deep breath and began telling her everything. The life Peter had lived, the things
