"Leo, sweetheart, hold the knife with Luna," Selene gently urged when she noticed the frustration on her son's
face.
Leo obeyed his mother, gripping the knife alongside his sister. Together, the twins sliced into the cake.
Their first instinct was to offer a bite to Selene. Meanwhile, Kane watched them in silence, deliberately avoiding
eye contact with her.
Off to the side, Ruby lowered her head, sensing that no one was paying her any mind. Just as she was about to
retreat, Diana intercepted her.
"Ruby, chere," Diana called out.
Forcing a smile, Ruby approached the children.
"Happy birthday, little ones," she said to the twins, her voice laced with artificial warmth.
Luna shrank back slightly, fear evident in her wide eyes. Leo, on the other hand, shot her a cold glare.
Selene clenched her fists at the sight of her children's reactions. Her gaze flickered to Kane. resentment flaring in
her chest. He was the reason they were like this-because of that woman, her children had learned to cower
instead of express themselves freely.
Kane refused to meet her eyes. Selene exhaled sharply, forcing herself to look away.

"Did he say something to them?" she mused, a small smile tugging at her lips.
As the evening progressed, dinner was served. Grayson remained unusually quiet throughout the meal, a change
in his demeanor that did not go unnoticed by Selene.
When the tcto say goodbye, Selene found herself struggling to let go. The thought of how long it would
be before she could see her children again weighed heavily on her heart. Fate had been cruel, tearing them
apart.
Her twins clung to her, whispering that they would stay strong for her. As they left with their grandmother, an
ache settled deep within Selene's chest, leaving her feeling hollow.
She scanned the hall, noting that most of the guests were still present, though it was growing late, and they
would soon begin to disperse.
Just then, the entire room went dark.
A murmur spread through the guests as Selene instinctively took a cautious step forward.
Then, out of nowhere, a spotlight flickered on-illuminating her.

The room brightened all at once, and her gaze dropped to the man kneeling before her.

His eyes locked onto Selene's, his expression open and sincere.
"Forget what anyone else says," he continued. "The people who truly care about you will always stand by you."
A hush fell over the hall. Selene blinked, her breath catching as Grayson extended his hand. In his other, he held
a ring.
