Even though the two families had already reunited, and Natalie could feel how warmly Waylon and his wife
accepted her-how kind they were to her children-that invisible wall of unfamiliarity still lingered.
But after coming so close to death, seeing Waylon and Flynn waiting for her now made her emotions surge
uncontrollably.
For the past five years, she had spent every day waiting-waiting alone for Jensen.
No matter how late it got, no matter how long it took, she had waited like a gatekeeper, always believing he
would cback. She had made Grand Pavilion her only home; she had made Jensen her only family, her only
love in the world.
But in the end, Jensen had betrayed her. Natalie had thought she would never open her heart to anyone again-
yet who could've imagined that Baron would appear and make her fall all over again?
Baron had risked everything for her, throwing caution and life itself aside, loving her with the sdesperate
devotion she’d once given Jensen five years ago.
The Stone family had been kind to her too.
At first, she had thought she'd never be able to fit in, but to her surprise, she adapted easily- perhaps that was
what they called blood ties.
And now, all the emotions she'd been holding in burst free.
She could feel it deep down-the people before her were her family. They had waited anxiously, worrying for her
safety, praying for her return.
Her throat tightened; her eyes stung.
Throwing all hesitation aside, Natalie ran straight into Waylon’s arms, tears spilling uncontrollably down her
cheeks.
“Dad, | was so scared! | thought I'd never see you again!”
The danger aboard that ship flashed back through her mind, flooding her senses once more.
In front of Baron, she had forced herself to stay calm, terrified that if she broke down, he would lose control and

After all, this was a world ruled by law-she didn’t want Baron to risk everything for her.
But standing before Waylon, every wall she had built collapsed; her fear surged out like a flood bursting through
a dam.
Waylon, who had weathered a lifetof storms, felt his eyes burn at her words.
“It's my fault,” he said hoarsely. “It’s my fault for not protecting you. You've suffered too much.”
His hands trembled as he gently patted her back. In that moment, he finally felt it—his daughter was truly home.
The little girl who'd been switched at birth more than twenty years ago because of the Stone family’s
carelessness had finally returned.
Tears streamed down Waylon’s weathered face.
The man who had spent decades in the ruthless business world dropped every layer of composure and cried like
a child as he held Natalie tight.
Flynn's eyes were red and swollen too.
He understood what this meant. If Natalie had been found at ten years old, they could've showered her with
affection and made up for the lost years-but Natalie had been found as a grown woman, already a mother of
two.
The Stone family had wanted to draw closer to her, but they'd been afraid she wouldn't be comfortable with it.
After all, Natalie was usually calm, distant, and hard to read.
They'd tried to give her shares, money-but Natalie had already built her own success; she didn’t need any of it.
All they could do was help take care of her children.
Flynn had always known that their relationship wasn’t quite right, but he could never figure out how to fix it.
And now, that invisible distance finally been shattered.
The unbreakable bond of blood had stripped away all hesitation. In that moment, they simply held on to one
another, tightly, as family should.
“Natalie, welchome,” Flynn said, his voice breaking, tears slipping down his face.
Natalie couldn't hold back anymore.

Hearing those words, she released Waylon and turned to throw her arms around Flynn.
“Flynn, I missed you so much. | thought I'd never see you again.”
“Don’t say that!”
Flynn's own fear rose in his throat.
Remembering how close she had

“All right,” he said softly. “Natalie's back-that’s what matters. Let's go home. The kids are waiting for you.”
His words snapped Natalie out of her daze.
“Right-the kids! Do they know what happened to me?”
“No,” Waylon replied. “We didn’t tell them. They think you and Baron just went on a trip.”
Natalie let out a long breath of relief.
“That's good. But we'll need to be careful when they start preschool again.”
Just thinking about how easily she'd been taken from the police station sent a chill through her.
