The following weeks changed everything. Alexander moved Emily and the twins into one of his properties—a modest but beautiful townhouse far from the chaos of Manhattan. For the first time, the boys had warm beds, clean clothes, and food on the table.

At first, Emily resisted. She worried Alexander’s help came from guilt rather than sincerity. But over time, she saw his actions weren’t empty gestures. He enrolled Liam and Lucas in a private school, personally attending their orientation. He was there at their soccer games, cheering louder than anyone. Slowly, he stepped into the role of a father.
