Levi watched the amazement spread across her face and couldn't help smiling."Yeah," he said softly. "My grandmothers don't joke when it comes to things like this. They've been planning this room since they found out you were pregnant."He slipped an arm around her waist and kissed her temple."But honestly... I don't think either of them is as excited as I am."Elsa laughed quietly, leaning into him for a brief moment."I think this is my first time seeing the nursery during the day."She slowly walked around the room, running her fingertips over the polished wooden furniture."It's beautiful.""The interior was Dad's idea," Levi replied. "Although he said he spoke to your father first before making any decisions."Elsa couldn't help laughing."Oh please.""My dad hates making big decisions. He probably just smiled and said, 'Whatever you think is best.'"Levi chuckled.<

Finally, the long-awaited day arrived.Elsa's baby shower was here, and if there was one thing everyone knew about the Hale family, it was that whenever Kaitlin Hale took charge of a celebration, ordinary simply didn't exist.She went all out.Although the gathering was kept intimate, with only family, close friends, and specially invited guests, the scale of the preparations rivaled that of their wedding.The spacious backyard of the Hale Mansion had been transformed into a breathtaking garden venue.Rows of elegant round tables draped in ivory tablecloths were arranged neatly across the lawn, each surrounded by luxurious cushioned chairs beneath oversized cream-colored parasols that shaded guests from the warm morning sun. Fresh floral centerpieces decorated every table, accompanied by delicate candles and gold accents that blended perfectly with the soft blue, white, beige, and champagne-colored theme.Balloon arrangements stretched across almost every corner of the venue. Massive

Kaitlin and Elsa locked eyes for a moment before Kaitlin's gaze slowly drifted down to the feast spread across the floor.Seven different snacks surrounded Elsa.Glazed doughnuts.Chocolate cookies.Fresh waffles drizzled with syrup.Potato chips.A thick vanilla milkshake.Fruit Salad.And an entire tub of ice cream.Kaitlin blinked.Then suddenly burst into laughter."Elsa!"She laughed so hard she had to hold her stomach, while Elsa slowly lowered the bowl of fruit and milkshake she had just been holding, looking like a child caught red-handed."So this is where you've been disappearing to."She laughed again."I kept wondering why I never saw you during your pregnancy cravings. Turns out... you've been hiding."She gently closed the gym door behind her before walking over and sitting comfortably on the floor beside Elsa."Go on," she smiled. "Don't stop because of me."Elsa let out an embarrassed sigh."Everyone's outside waiting for you and the baby," Kaitlin continued. "Meanwhil

The video spread across the internet like wildfire.Within minutes, it had gone viral. The comment section exploded, thousands of people reacting to what had happened at Elsa's baby shower. Some sympathized with her, others pitied her, while a few insensitive people even found ways to joke about the incident."Oh my God...""Who would do something so horrible?""Is Elsa alright?""I'm telling you, it has to be that Claire woman.""Baby shower gone wrong.""How did the Hale family's security let something like this happen?""This is heartbreaking.""She must have offended someone badly.""Is the baby okay?""Whoever did this clearly has a death wish.""That person deserves to rot in hell."Silence filled the upper living room.William, Leonard and Levi each stared at their phones, scrolling through the endless flood of comments with increasingly dark expressions. Ross remained standing nearby, waiting quietly for instructions.William was the first to break the silence."They're making

HALE MANSIONDusk had settled over the Hale Mansion.The excitement from the baby shower had long faded, replaced by a heavy silence. Vanessa had already done her part, erasing every trace of the disturbing video from the internet before it could spread any further. The media had also gone quiet, exactly as ordered.Inside the inner living room, however, the investigation was only beginning.William, Leonard and Levi sat together while Ross stood before them with a tablet in hand, reporting everything his men had uncovered."Sir," Ross began respectfully, "we traced the sender's address to an apartment on Malcolm Street."He paused before continuing."But after investigating the current occupants, none of them appear to have any connection whatsoever to the gift."Leonard folded his arms."None?"Ross nodded."In fact, the couple living there don't even know who Lady Elsa is."He glanced at his report."The only exception is their twelve-year-old granddaughter."William frowned."And?
