"Serenity, I'm sorry, my dear. It's just... seeing this young man left me in shock."
"It's okay, Maximus. Just stop squeezing my hand-I'm not going anywhere, especially not like this." "Serenity, what did that bastard do to you?"
Alden was stunned by the way Maximus, spole, especially knowing they were talking about his son. "There's a lot we need to talk about, Alden, but right now, just want to take Serenity somewhere she can be checked out. I don't know how to thank you for having her with you-Lucus is not someone to be trusted," Maximus said, looking at the young man
"I do know! I want to know about my father! I want you to tell me about him!"
Maximus and Serenity stared at Alden. This man, usually so composed, now seemed like an eager boy ready to take on the world.
"Alden, I can tell you stories about your father from when we were kids, but I think the person who can tell you the most is just arriving," Maximus said, nodding toward Marcus in the distance.
When Marcus saw Serenity holding Maximus's hand, he felt a surge of jealousy mixed with relief. His daughter was safe. But then, he noticed the presence of another persen. Seeing him from afar, Marcus's heart began to race. "It's Peter! He's alive!' But as he got closer; his hopes started to fade. It wasn't Peter, but the resemblance was
uncanny.
Both men's security teams were on high alert, unsure who the stranger was. Meanwhile, Ignatius, watching from a distance, observed the activity. Concerned, he called Alden
Alden glanced at his phone and answered, "What's up, Ignatius?"
"There are too many people around you. Are you sure you don't want us to extract you?"
*No, my friend! Relax, everything's fine!" Alden said with a smile.
As Marcus approached, he focused on Serenity, rushing to ber and pulling her close. She was his world, and the sight of her hurt tore at him. 1/
"What happened to you, Serenity? Where were you, my girl" Marcus asked, embracing her and kissing the top of
her head.
"Dad, I'm fine! He helped me! His team rescued me. If it weren't for them, I don't know what Lucius and my grandfather would have done," Serenity said, glancing back at Alden.
"Who are you?" Marcus asked coldy.
"His name is Alden, and he's Peter's son," Maximus responded calmly.
"You're Peter's son?" Marcus asked, astonished.
"Yes, that's correct. I'm Peter's son. As I already told my uncle, my name is Alden Pietrovich Palmer," Alden replied without hesitation.
"I've never heard of you," Marcus said, still in shock.
"It's obvious he's Peter's son! Just look at him-he's the spitting image," Maximus sald, stepping in to shield Alden from Marcus's scrutiny.
"Okay, okay. But what were you doing with my daughter?"

"It's complicated, but all I can say is that I was in the right place at the right time. I know who you are, Marcus Bartz, and I've been hoping to meet the three of you for a long time. Life never gave me the chance-until now. Today has been surprising. You were his best friend, he is lis brother, and Serenity is my sister," Alden said, his eyes filled with emotion.
"Well, actually, Serenity..." Marcus began, but Maximus placed a hand on his arm, stopping him.
"Alden, I'm glad to know a part of my brother lives on! I'll you everything I can. For stories about his youth, you'll have to ask the man standing in front of you-he was Peter's best friend," Maximus said with a small smile.
"I think we can talk another time, but for now, I need to take Serenity to the hospital for a check-up," Marcus said, starting to walk toward the exit.
"Dad, I'm fine! I want to get to know this young man too," Serenity said, her curiosity evident.
"Serenity, I think this morning has been overwhelming enough. I'd rather take you home where you'll be safe, and we can talk there," Marcus said firmly, leaving no room for argument.
"Maximus, thank you for letting me know what happened with my daughter. I'm sure you understand that right now, her health is my top priority. But after this, the three of us can talk about this unexpected development, Marcus said as he excused himself and headed for the exit.
"Of course! No need to thank me-she's my daughter too! Maximus said without thinking.
