Arnold took her hand firmly. "Rest assured. I'll be doubly careful. William is our child, and no one can take him away."
At the moment, William was in his room, video chatting with his mate, Kane.
He knew Mr. Ice was divorcing his mom and would bring a wicked stepmother into Kane's life.
He and Kane were indeed birds of a feather, both suffering the same plight.
"Stepmothers are the worst creatures in the world! It's so pitiful for mom. Dad has been taken away, and now Mr. Ice is about to be taken away, too. Kane, shall we team up and chase the wicked stepmother away?"
Kane corrected him. "She's not my stepmother. She’s only a homewrecker. I'll never allow her to become my stepmother."
His dad had promised him that he wouldn't look for a stepmother. If his dad broke his promise, he would be very disappointed.
"Oh." William blinked his attractively bright eyes. "You need to keep an eye on Mr. Ice. Don't let him have a little brother with that homewrecker. Or, she will truly become your stepmother."
"I know." Kane nodded, deciding to pick his dad up from his office from then on, preventing the homewrecker from getting close to him.

Aurelia didn't return to the Stirling Mansion in the next two days. Instead, she stayed alone in her apartment. She needed some time to be alone.
Beverley visited her, bringing her tarot cards with her.
"I didn't expect the prophecy to come true so quickly. Aurelia, let me read your cards to help you plan ahead and avoid misfortune."
Aurelia nodded in agreement.
Beverley spread the cards, and Aurelia picked the top one. It was an inverted Devil card.
