Simeon’s voice was tight with barely contained fury. “I thought you could make her happy–that’s why I didn’t stand in your way. But what did you do? You treated her love like garbage, took every sacrifice for granted, and destroyed everything she ever had. And now you have the nerve to ask her to come back with you?”
As he spoke, Simeon swung and punched Ramon square in the face.
Ramon didn’t dodge or fight back–he let the blow land, knowing that a single punch could never begin to repay what he’d done.
He realized that no apology could ever make up for his mistakes.
In truth, he deserved far worse. What he owed Gabriella and the kids
would take more than a few hits to settle.
“Gabby, I know I deserve to be damned.”
He dropped to his knees, tears streaming down his face.
It was the first time he’d ever cried in front of me. “I’m not asking for forgiveness. I just want to be near the kids, to do something for them- even if it’s just laundry or cooking, I’ll do it.”
I ignored him, gathering Cassidy and Terence and heading inside.
Ramon tried to follow, but Simeon’s cold stare stopped him in his tracks. “Ramon, you’d better not show your face here again.

“Otherwise, I can’t promise you’ll walk away in one piece.”
No sooner had the hospital’s promo photos gone public than Brittany’s scandalous battlefield video was leaked.
Next came the footage of Ramon throwing Cassidy down the stairs.
Brittany’s video was posted by Ramon himself. Ramon’s own video was released by the housekeeper, furious after failing to extort money.
She even exposed Brittany’s chats and bank transfers, revealing how Brittany had orchestrated her fake performances.
The hospital’s promotional campaign instantly became a joke, and their golden couple was exposed as nothing but rotten frauds.
Brittany tried to explain, her face desperate. “Ray, you have to believe me, I didn’t-”
Ramon glared at her, eyes blazing. “Why did you do that to Gabby? You can’t have children because you ruined yourself–why smear her?”
When Brittany realized she couldn’t talk her way out, she snapped, “So what if I did? You were obsessed with me all these years, weren’t you?
“Ramon, you hurt your own daughter for my sake. Do you really think Gabriella will ever forgive you? Keep dreaming!”
Ramon slapped her hard. “If you like playing games so much, go play all you want!”
Brittany was thrown off the third–floor balcony, breaking her leg and

Ramon’s reputation was destroyed. The date he won the international orthopedics award became proof of his abandoning his wife and child for his mistress.
The hospital revoked his medical license, and he was vilified across the internet.
After his public disgrace, Ramon came looking for me one last time.
He didn’t bring gifts–just a thick notebook in his hands.
Inside, he’d written page after page about everything he owed the kids and me.
“Gabby, you and the kids have always been in my heart…
“When Terence was in the ICU, I said I wouldn’t go, but I still called my colleagues to make sure he was cared for…
“When you had that car accident, I forced myself not to visit, but I arranged for my closest friend to operate on you…
“All these years I blamed you because of Brittany, but I’d already fallen in love with you…
“I know I was wrong, but the kids need their dad…
“Give me one more chance, please? I swear I’ll make it up to you all…”
I looked at Ramon coldly. “Ramon, whether the kids have a father doesn’t matter. What matters is they’re happy and safe now. And with

so many men in the world, we don’t need you to be their father.”
Ramon clenched his fists. “But they’re still my children.”
I looked at Terence and Cassidy. “Do you want him to be your daddy?”
