Mila woke up.
She picked up her teddy bear and waddled into her parents' room.
"Good morning, my angel," Nikolai said.
"Mownin Dada… Mownin Mama," she said.
"Morning, Sweetie," Lilith replied as she dropped her bag.
"Where you goin'?" Mila asked.
"Baby, Mama has work today. I will be back in a week, Sweetie. Me and Dada… but your uncles and Grandma and Grandpa will be here too, Sweetie," Lily said.
Mila pouted.
Nikolai gently cupped her face.
"Mimi, there will be another vacation with just us, Sweetie. But there are bad people there."
Mila gasped.
She covered her little mouth.
"I stway here Dada… no boo boo… K?" Mila said.
"Okay, Sweetheart," Lilith said.
Both parents kissed her cheeks.
"Mama buy chocwates pwetty pwease… A Dada more bwocks," Mila said.
"Yes, Baby," both parents answered together before hugging her.
During breakfast, Urlima fed Roshini.
"All packed?" Nikolai asked.
"Yes, Boss!" The Dominion Apex replied.
"Be a good boy and I get more toys, okay, Lovies?" Addison said to her sons.
"Okie Mama," they replied.
She kissed both of their foreheads.
"We wuv you Mama," they said while hugging her.
Logan walked over and gave her a deep kiss.
"Come back soon, Love. Oh… I got you a new gun. The one you wanted."
Her eyes softened.
She hugged him.
"I am sorry for hitting and yelling at you," she said.
"It's not your fault, Love. It's been buried six feet underground. I believe you understand that?"
She answered him with a knowing smirk.
Urlima stood beside Juan while holding Roshini.
"Mama go?" Roshini asked.
"Yes, but we are going to an important meeting first," Urlima answered.
"I wuv and miwess you Mama," Roshini said as she hugged her tightly.
"Me too, Baby. You be a good girl for Dada, okay? I'll bring you more stuffies."
Juan had fallen even more deeply in love with Urlima.
Yes…
They had gotten married because of Roshini.
Urlima looked at Juan.
She gently patted his hair.
She noticed him blushing.
Then she kissed his cheek.
His eyes widened.
"Next one will be on the lips," she whispered into his ear.
"Let's go!" Nikolai called.
Everyone entered the cars.
"Bye, Baby!" Lilith called.
"Ba… Ba Mama… Dada…" Mila said sadly while waving.
"Don't cry, Darling. Come, let's go watch the match. Hmm?" Nolan said as he carried her back inside.
At the office…
Lily sat down.
"Where is Dammy? I haven't seen him for three months now," Lilith asked.
"I sent him on a mission. That's why," Nikolai answered.
"Hmmmm…"
She pouted.
She picked up her iPad and started a FaceTime call.
"Hi, Lily!" Damian smiled.
"Dammy!! Are you okay? You haven't come back home. Is the mission serious?" Lilith asked.
"Yep, it is. And I'm sorry I missed Mil's birthday. Some people are really getting on my nerves here."
"Aww… don't worry. She misses you too. Come back soon, okay? Eat well and take care of yourself, okay?" Lily said.
"Okay, Amma (Mother)."
She blew him a kiss.
The call ended.
Nikolai chuckled.
She looked at him.
"Ready to go, Bambi?" he asked.
"Yep!" Lily replied.
Everyone walked outside.
Standing nearby was a man wearing a cap and delivery clothes.
"Excuse me, Ma," he said as he approached Urlima.
"Yes?" she answered.
Juan remained watchful.
"Are you Ms. Urlima?"
"Yeah, I am."
"T…T…This is for you."
He looked upward.
Several armed men were aiming at him.
Nikolai followed his eyes.
He immediately looked back.
Without hesitation, he drew his gun.
Bang!
One of the gunmen dropped dead.
People began screaming.
"Boss?" Nathan shouted.
"Umma…" the man whispered.
Urlima stared at him.
"What—"
"Mahira… don't go to the mountain. It's a trap… a big trap."
"Umma… please save me from her. She will lock me up again. Please… please save me."
He hugged Urlima tightly.
Urlima looked at his neck.
She noticed a birthmark.
She slowly pulled away.
She stared at him.
"Ozzy!"
The young man looked back at her.
"Mom…"
"Austin!?" everyone except Nikolai and Lily shouted.
"B…B…But the body…" Kenan whispered.
"Umma… please… I beg you… save me from her. She's going to punish me again. Mahira, I'm warning you. Don't go directly to that mountain. She has cameras everywhere!"
Suddenly…
A van pulled up.
Several armed men jumped out.
Urlima immediately held him tightly.
She could clearly see the marks covering his body.
"Mom!" he cried.
The men fired.
A bullet struck Austin in the back.
Guns were immediately drawn.
Lilith grabbed a stone from the ground.
She threw it directly at one of the guards who was about to shoot Ozzy.
"I will save you, my child!" Urlima cried.
Juan loaded an AK-47.
He opened fire.
One after another…
The attackers dropped dead.
Austin clung tightly to Urlima.
While pretending to check if anyone was watching, he quietly leaned toward Nikolai.
He whispered something into Nikolai's ear.
Then…
Without anyone noticing…
He slipped a folded piece of paper into Nikolai's hand.
"We'll save you," Nikolai quietly promised.
Suddenly…
A woman fired an electric weapon.
The delivery man collapsed.
Another woman threw a smoke bomb.
"MOM!!" Austin screamed.
"AUSTIN!!!!!!" Urlima cried.
Austin's grip weakened.
The smoke became too thick.
"OZZY!!" Urlima screamed.
"Austin!" Valerio shouted.
"Ozzy!" Rima cried.
Through the smoke…
Lilith saw a masked woman.
The woman looked directly at her.
Then…
She slowly waved.
"Bye Bye, Mihu," she said before laughing loudly.
Lilith stood frozen.
Her ears turned bright red with rage.
The smoke slowly cleared.
The van sped away.
"No… no… no… no… no… no…"
"GIVE ME BACK MY CHILD!!"
Urlima sprinted after the van at full speed.
"Umma!" Juan shouted as he chased after her.
Tears streamed down Urlima's face.
She had seen her son…
Bleeding…
Crying…
Juan finally caught her.
She collapsed into his arms.
Then…
She released a heartbreaking scream so powerful that it echoed throughout the entire city.
Later…
Lilith sat silently inside the airport.
Her memories replayed over and over.
Austin…
Bleeding.
Crying for his mother.
The pain in the boy's voice.
"Bye Bye, Mihu…"
The masked woman's voice echoed repeatedly inside her head.
"Bambi… it's time to go," Nikolai softly said.
"I will make her pay for Umma," Lilith answered while clenching her fist tightly.
Nikolai gently carried her toward the private jet.
Juan arrived shortly afterward.
He had left Roshini with his sisters.
He stayed beside Urlima.
She was trapped between shock…
And overwhelming anger.
"He never died…"
"I buried the wrong child…"
she whispered.
Juan quietly guided her into the jet.
Nobody spoke.
The cabin remained silent.
Lilith reached over and held Nikolai's hand.
The engines roared to life.
The private jet accelerated.
Moments later…
It lifted into the sky.
