On Christmas Eve, I Rushed into My Ex - wife's House, Only to Find My Newborn Son and a Web of Deceit
The words hit Leo like a punch in the gut. Pulling him back to the end of their marriage with painful clarity. He remembered signing the divorce papers.
He recalled watching Luna walk away with red - rimmed eyes. And convincing himself she had already moved on from their relationship.
Then Luna mentioned a specific night. "The night you announced the Singapore expansion," she said, her voice steady but sad.
Leo stopped cold. He remembered the celebration vividly - the investors, reporters, and the sea of cameras and applause.
He also remembered seeing Luna waiting near the ballroom. Before Ivy interrupted him with a so - called business crisis.
"I waited almost an hour for you," Luna said, looking directly into his eyes, the pain still evident in her gaze.
"We were discussing a deal," Leo replied, trying to justify his actions, but even he knew it sounded weak.
"She told me you were unavailable," Luna continued. Leo searched his memory and realized she was right.
Ivy had been by his side all evening. Steering conversations. Keeping him away from Luna in the hallway.
"I called you the next morning," Luna said, her voice breaking a little. "Yes, I told you I needed to see you. You never answered."
Leo instinctively reached for his phone, knowing it was useless. All his personal messages had passed through Ivy first.
Dr. Olivia Gray then quietly asked, "Who handled your personal communications back then?" Leo answered without hesitation.
The Role of Ivy Stone
Ivy Stone was a shadow that loomed large over Leo and Luna's relationship. During a significant corporate event, she was everywhere Leo turned.
As Leo remembered the night of the Singapore expansion celebration, Ivy was constantly by his side. She steered every business conversation.
Luna had been waiting near the ballroom. She was eager to share news with Leo, but Ivy made sure they didn't meet.
Ivy told Luna that Leo was unavailable. Luna waited for almost an hour, her hopes slowly fading away in the hallway.
When Leo thought back, he realized Ivy had monopolized his time that whole evening. She blocked his path to Luna.
The next morning, Luna tried to call Leo. But his phone never rang with her call because Ivy controlled his communications.
Every personal voicemail and email that Luna sent passed through Ivy first. She intercepted them all.
Dr. Olivia Gray asked who handled his personal communications back then. Leo quickly answered that it was Ivy.
Olivia's nod showed she suspected Ivy's interference. Luna's pain was a consequence of Ivy's actions.
Luna had also tried emailing Leo. But she received a threatening letter instead of his response.
The letter was typed, warning her to stay away from Leo. It was clear Ivy was behind spreading fear.
Ivy's actions not only separated Leo from Luna but also made Luna doubt Leo's love and intentions.
The Threatening Letter
As the truth continued to unfold, Luna slowly opened the drawer beside the couch. She removed a cream - colored envelope and handed it to Leo.
“I tried emailing you too,” Luna said softly. Leo replied, “I never received anything.”
On the front of the envelope was Leo's name, but the handwriting wasn't Luna's. Inside was a single typed page.
The page had only four short sentences: “Stay away from Leo Hart. Any child you claim is his will be challenged.”
It also warned. “Do not test people who can bury you in court.” Leo read the page twice. Then looked at Luna.
“That didn’t come from me,” he insisted firmly. Luna looked down, “At the time… I believed it.”
Leo was pained by her answer. “I would never threaten you,” he said, his voice full of emotion.
“I wanted to believe that,” Luna murmured, her eyes still averted. Leo folded the paper carefully.
“I’m sorry that I made it possible for you to believe I could do something like this,” Leo said remorsefully.
“I’m sorry I left you alone long before I actually walked away,” he added. The room fell silent.
The only sounds were the heater and the gentle breathing of their newborn son. Luna looked genuinely surprised.
Just then, Dr. Olivia Gray reached into her purse and placed another folder on the coffee table.
“There’s another reason I came tonight,” she said, causing Luna's expression to change immediately.
The Shocking Request
Dr. Olivia Gray reached into her purse and placed a folder on the coffee table. Her expression was serious as she prepared to share more.
“There’s another reason I came tonight,” Dr. Olivia said, her voice steady but with an underlying note of concern.
Hearing this, Luna Reed's expression immediately changed. Fear and confusion flashed across her face.
Dr. Olivia nodded before turning towards Leo Hart. She took a deep breath, about to deliver shocking news.
“Someone requested the baby's birth records this afternoon,” she stated, her eyes fixed on Leo.
Leo's brows furrowed in disbelief. He couldn't understand who would make such a request.
Dr. Olivia continued, “The request appeared to come from Luna,” causing a gasp to escape from Luna's lips.
Luna immediately shook her head, her eyes wide with shock. “That can't be true,” she exclaimed.
Leo looked at Luna, trying to gauge if she was telling the truth. He could see the panic in her eyes.
“Who could have done this and why would they forge my name?” Luna asked, her voice trembling.
Dr. Olivia sighed. “I don't know, but it's a concerning development. We need to figure this out.”
Leo's mind raced. This new revelation added another layer of mystery to the already complex situation.
They all knew they were in for a long night of trying to uncover who was behind the request for the birth records.
