The mansion stood quiet under the warm afternoon sun. But inside, things were shifting — hearts, lives, and fates.
Liora's Arrest
It began with a single phone call.
Calvin stood tall in front of the Sahputra mansion gates, flanked by two officers.
> "Ms. Liora Maheswari," one officer announced, "you are under arrest for harassment, defamation, and unlawful interference with a private citizen."
Liora's face paled.
> "You wouldn't dare, Calvin."
> "I warned you," he said coldly. "Stay away from my wife and son. You didn't listen."
Liora was taken away, heels clacking against the marble tiles, her expression unreadable.
One week. One cold, lonely week in jail.

Fini's Meaning Behind 'Akihiro'
That night, as Fini sat beside Calvin on the balcony, she held her baby in her arms.
> "You never asked why I named him Akihiro."
Calvin looked at her, quiet and curious.
Fini smiled softly, brushing her son's hair.
> "Akihiro means bright prince. In Japan… naming your child is more than just tradition. It's a prayer. I named him Akihiro because… even in my darkest days, I still prayed for light."
Calvin blinked, emotion catching him off-guard.
> "And you gave me that light."
Calvin took her hand.
> "Thank you… for still believing in us."

Arora's Return — And Her Secret
A few days later, the Sahputra mansion was filled with whispers once more.
Arora had returned.
She stood at the doorstep, visibly pregnant, with tears in her eyes.
Fini was the first to greet her.
> "Arora?"
> "I… I didn't know where else to go."
Fini guided her inside gently, noticing her swollen belly.
Later that night, Arora sat with Calvin in the living room, nervously twisting her fingers.
> "I don't know who the father is. I was reckless. But if my father finds out, he'll disown me."
> "So you want me to… pretend to be the father?" Calvin asked carefully.
She nodded, eyes pleading.
> "Just until the baby's born. Please."
But Calvin shook his head.
> "No, Arora. I won't lie to your father. You need to tell the truth. And if he loves you, he'll forgive you."
Arora cried quietly. But the next day, she followed Calvin's advice.
And to her surprise—her father didn't get angry. In fact, he embraced her and said:
> "You're my daughter. No child is ever a mistake."

Fini's Forgiveness
The next morning, Fini surprised Arora with a warm cup of tea.
> "You're brave, Arora."
Arora looked at her in disbelief.
> "You're not… angry?"
> "I don't want enemies in my life anymore," Fini said gently. "I've had enough battles. I just want peace."
The two women shared a long, quiet moment. A truce was born.

Liora Meets Arora
When Liora was released from jail, she didn't go home.
She came straight to the mansion, only to find someone else already sitting at the garden bench—Arora.
Liora scoffed.
> "Well, look who's back. What are you here for? Another scandal?"
Arora stood up slowly, unbothered.
> "I made mistakes. But I'm fixing them. Maybe you should try it sometime."
Liora laughed coldly.
> "Oh, please. Don't pretend you're pure."
> "I'm not. But at least I'm not hurting people anymore."
For the first time… Liora didn't respond.
Her power was slipping.
