"Nathalie, you haven''te to see me in ages."

His smile faded, reced by an anxious look that crept across his handsome face.

“It''s been days since the hypnosis ended. By now, you should have your memory back, right?"

"And now that you know Cameron never betrayed you... did you just run straight back to him?"

Morris looked utterly defeated.

He pulled out his phone, bringing up Nathalie''s number.

But he just stared at it, unable to do anything. After a soft, helpless sigh, he locked the screen and set the phone aside.

If he couldn''t bring her happiness, he''d rather leave her alone.

Still, he couldn''t shake the memory of that night-the one that kept reying in his mind.

His heart fluttered restlessly.

Determined to push her out of his thoughts, Morris sat down at hisputer and logged into the Stewart Enterprise intr.

When he saw that Dominick had been handling all thepany''s recent affairs, Morris''s dark eyes grew even more serious.

If Nathalie had set work aside, something big-or someone important must have happened.

He logged out of Stewart''s system, then quietly hacked into Vincent Corporation''swork.

When he discovered Arthur was heading up a major bidding project, Morris let out a silent, wryugh.

It was the same project Stewart Enterprise had set its sights on.

So, the battle between Stewart and Vincent for the city''s top spot had officially kicked off.

The next day.

Morris stood outside Cameron''s apartment. After ringing the bell, he was surprised when Nina opened the door.

She blinked at him, wide-eyed. "Daddy Yan?"

Morris smiled warmly and reached out to ruffle her hair. "How have you beentely?"

Nina beamed. "I''m doing great!"

Her gaze drifted to his leg, concern shing in her eyes. "Daddy Yan, what happened to your leg?"

Cameron appeared in the doorway, leaning on the frame. "Nina, don''t call him that. He''s not your sweet Daddy Yan His name is Mons, and he''s not as innocent as you think  s

Morris''s lips twisted into a mocking smile.

But Nina stuck up for him. "Daddy, don''t say that. He is Daddy Yan! He''s the best Daddy Yan in the whole world."

Cameron''s eyes grew cold. "He''s the best for you? Better than your real dad?"

Nina nced down, her voice soft. "Daddy, you''re good to me too."

A wave of frustration crashed over

Cameron. He felt like a falli

his wife had been taken by Morris, and now his daughter too.  s

His anger boiled over. "What are you doing here? Haven''t you messed up my life enough?"

Finally facing the man who had brought down the Dawson family, Cameron could barely contain his rage.

Morris''s voice was icy. "Cameron, did you forget my warning?"

At first, Cameron was confused. As far as he knew, he and Morris had never even met.

Morris pressed on. "Didn''t you get your memories from your previous life back?" Cameron stared, stunned. "How do you even know about that?"

"Timeless Cycle. It''s mine. I gave it to you and Greta for exactly this reason." With that, Morris took off his sunsses.

And suddenly, Cameron remembered their first meeting, a lifetime ago.

It was his wedding day with Nellie. The car was halfway to the church when a frail young man stepped out the
