Still, if they truly wanted to be done with it once and for all, to eliminate the root of all their troubles, then this was the most effective solution.
After all, none of them could stand to watch Matheo strutting around like a victor, scheming to take a share of the divorce settlement. The very idea was intolerable.
“There’s no rush,” Sienna said calmly.
One hand gently patted Jean on the shoulder, and the other landed lightly on Easton. “We’ll need to plan this thoroughly, make sure it’s airtight. Now is not the time to act impulsively.”
That night…
Sienna invited her sons to have dinner together. For a brief moment, they set aside their worries and gathered together, something they had not done in a long time.
Unexpectedly, it was because of Matheo that Sienna and her children grew even closer.
Everything was improving. This once cold, unfeeling home was slowly transforming into a place of warmth.
As long as Matheo’s issue was fully resolved, Sienna believed that everything would get better for them…
However…
The day after this dinner gathering, Sienna got into an accident.
Jean was half–awake, still lying in bed, when someone knocked on her door.
She stirred, blinking blearily as she sat up, but before she could get out of bed, the knocking stopped.
The door opened.
She blinked again, startled.
Dominic stepped into the room, his face grim.
He leaned down slightly, ruffling her hair in a way that was oddly comforting. “For the next while… stay at home. Don’t go anywhere.”
Jean instantly sensed something was wrong. She frowned. “What happened? Why are you suddenly saying
this…?”
Dominic’s eyes lowered, his deep gaze hidden in the dim light, making it hard to discern his emotions. He pressed his lips together and fell into silence for a moment before finally speaking softly. “It’s nothing.”
“But from now on, you’ll probably be home alone. Don’t worry, security’s been arranged. You’ll be safe.” He said.
This is what you call nothing? Don’t treat me like a complete idiot!
Jean pouted, grabbing his arm and giving it a gentle shake. “Tell me the truth, Dominic. Why am I being left home alone? Where’s Mom? Where are you all going?”
Her eyes shimmered with worry, round and dark like black grapes.

Dominic stared into her eyes for a long moment before finally letting out a low sigh. “I didn’t want to scare
you…
He gently wrapped an arm around her shoulder, his voice grave and low. “Mother’s been in an accident. Most likely… it was Matheo’s doing.”
Jean’s eyes flew wide open. A chill spread through her chest. Her brows furrowed with panic. “What happened to her? Is she okay? Is it serious?”
Dominic patted her hand in comfort. “She’s in the hospital.”
Jean bit her lip. Her voice was stubborn but urgent. “I want to see her. If you won’t take me, I’ll go by myself. Besides…”
She paused, her tone shifting ever so slightly. “You know I’ve studied medicine. I might be able to help.”
Dominic’s gaze faltered slightly at her words.
He looked at her for a moment longer, eyes shadowed with indecision… then finally nodded. “Alright. Come with me.”
Sienna had been admitted to the intensive care unit. Her condition was critical and uncertain.
Earlier that morning, her car had been struck head–on by a runaway freight truck. The truck driver died on the spot. Sienna, barely clinging to life, was rushed to emergency.
