Chapter 29

Rain poured down from the darkened sky as Diana, her heart pounding, ran through the storm-soaked streets. The words she had overheard between Ethan and his Mother echoed in her mind, revealing a sinister truth. Ethan wanted to harm Lucas, and by extension, Diana herself.

Drenched and trembling, Diana knew she had to warn Lucas. As fate would have it, Lucas was driving down the very same street. In her panic, Diana darted in front of his car, narrowly avoiding a collision. Lucas slammed on the brakes, his anger palpable as he stepped out of the vehicle, demanding to know why Diana had risked her life.

Kneeling on the wet pavement, tears mingling with the rain, Diana apologized profusely. Confused, Lucas knelt down beside her, his concern growing. Diana took a deep breath, mustering the strength to share the truth.

"Lucas," she began, her voice trembling, "Ethan is after your life. And Maria...Maria was behind Mia's death. I've done my own investigation, and I discovered that she stole our baby from the hospital. We don't know if she harmed her, but we need to expose her."

Lucas helped Diana to her feet, his embrace offering solace admist the chaos. Tears streamed down his face as he made a solemn promise. Together, they would bring Maria to Justice and find their other daughter.

With a determined nod, Diana affirmed her commitment. They would face the challenges ahead as a united front, unwavering in their pursuit of the truth and the reunion with their lost child.
