Chapter 10 - Unveiling the dark secret behind the green maid uniform that proves Clara sacrificed everything to protect her son from a lethal family conspiracy plot.
"Why the maid uniform, Clara?" Liam asked softly, turning away from the balcony to look at her with profound, aching remorse.
"When I woke up from the staged coma five years ago, your mother's men told me I would be killed if I ever came near you," Clara explained.
She walked slowly over to the leather sofa, sitting down while gently rocking the sleeping infant in her arms.
"They stripped me of my identity, my bank accounts, and my family name, leaving me with nothing on the streets of New York," she continued.
"I took a job through a domestic agency just so I could get close enough to see my baby's face through the nursery windows," Clara confessed.
"And when you couldn't stand being away from him any longer, you took the maid placement inside my own home," Liam realized with a catch in his throat.
"I never meant to cause trouble, Liam; I just wanted to hold my son one last time before fleeing the country forever," she whispered.
Liam walked over, dropping to one knee before her chair and resting his hands gently on her knees through the green fabric.
"You are never running away from me or our son ever again, Clara," Liam vowed, his hazel eyes shining with unshed tears.
