DEAD...

Alex smiled and hugged Jasper tightly. "Will I see you again?" Jasper asked.

"Of course, you will," Alex replied. "But promise me you'll stay strong, okay?"

"I will, Daddy," Jasper said.

Alex smiled and hugged him even tighter

FLASH END
Alex stormed toward the door, his feet tapping angrily on the floor Thomas blocked his path

"Where are you going?" Thomas asked

"I need to get back to them" Alex replied

"Remember, we need concrete evidence against Marco You installed cameras on Jasper let's monitor the feed."

"Let me see what's happening," Alex demanded.

"Can you handle it?" Thomas asked

Alex nodded resolutely. "I'll handle it if I can."He rushed to the laptop

Mabel stepped out of her car and entered Elisa's office. "Mom!" she exclaimed, embracing her warmly.

Elisa, caught off guard, replied, "I wasn't expecting you."

Mabel smiled mischievously. "I wanted to surprise you."

She took a seat, while Elisa remained standing, slightly stiff

"Alex's betrayal is unconscionable. I can't believe he'd stoop so low."she said

Elisa's enigmatic smile spoke volumes

"Mum, don't you think it's time to reevaluate my relationship with Alex?" Mabel asked, grasping Elisa's hand

Elisa withdrew her hand, her expression turning icy. "Return to your father and tell him you're incapable of carrying out his schemes."

Stepping closer, Elisa's voice rose. "After your past treachery, you think I'd let you near Alex? You tried to destroy him  and you try to kill me once I won't give you another chance"

Mabel trembled, falling to her knees. "It was a mistake, Mum. I didn't mean to harm you. I was just following Father's orders. Please forgive me!" she begged

Elisa's face twisted in anger. "I don't forgive those who harm my sons. Your actions have driven them apart for five years."

Her voice rose to a furious shout. "Mark my words, Mabel I will never forgive you. You and your father will face destruction. Your life will be miserable."

Nathan sipped his coffee, pondering Thomas's words: "solid evidence." He set the cup down in the sink, exhaling heavily. Glancing up, his eyes locked onto the CCTV camera. A spark of realization ignited a sly smile.

"Solid evidence," he whispered, rushing out of the kitchen to review the footage.

His smile broadened. "Mabel, your downfall is sealed. You and your father will pay."

Jasper lay helpless on the floor, struggling to breathe. Marco dragged Molly, her body covered in bruises, and tossed her onto the couch.

"I've missed you," Marco sneered, unbuckling his belt.

Molly whispered weakly, "Let me tend to my son first."

Marco's face twisted in contempt. "I don't care." He slapped her, yanking her hair back and forcing a brutal kiss.

Molly bit down on his lip, but Marco retaliated with another vicious slap

"You're a monster!" Molly cried out, her voice trembling.

Marco sneered, "I know, right?" as he ripped her clothes apart. Molly's weakened state left her defenseless.

Just as Marco's assault escalated, the door burst open. Alex and Thomas rushed in.

"You bastard!" Alex shouted, tackling Marco off Molly and pummeling him.

Thomas intervened, restraining Alex. "Don't kill him!"

Timely, the police arrived. "Marco, you're under arrest for domestic violence and other offenses," an officer announced, slapping handcuffs on Marco.

As officers led Marco away, Alex helped Molly, his face etched with concern

"Are you okay?" Alex asked

"I'm fine," Molly replied, her voice shaking. "Let's get Jasper to the hospital."

At the hospital, Alex held Molly's hand. "You should get yourself treated too."

Molly refused, her eyes fixed on the ICU door. "I need to know Jasper's okay first."

Alex hugged her reassuringly. "He'll be fine."

The doctor emerged from the ICU, his expression somber.

"How's my son?" Molly rushed to ask.

The doctor's words cut deep. "I'm sorry. We lost him. You brought him in too late."

Molly's world crumbled. "No...!" she screamed, collapsing into Alex's arms
