Chapter 246: It seemed we got our culprit.
[Motherhood is a choice you make every day, to put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you’re not sure what the right thing is ... and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.]

"Sis," Axel called, eyes swirling with worry as he gazed at Heaven next to his chair. "Are you alright?"
Heaven had her eyes fixed on the table a few meters from her. There, on the corner table, was the woman and the officers who came. The woman was giving her statement, keeping her head down. One could see different emotions on the woman’s face every passing second, but the one that dominated her weary eyes was helplessness.
"Today, I learned something from her, Axel," whispered Heaven after some time while narrowing her eyes. "I could be in that situation."
"What?" Axel furrowed his brows. "Why would you be in that situation?"
"I’m not saying I would, but if begging is the only thing I can do, I would grovel to the ground if I had to." Heaven slowly peeled her eyes from the woman to Axel. "As a mother, I can kill if I have to, but I will also go down to my knees if that is the only thing I can do."
Axel blinked, studying his sister-in-law’s unsmiling countenance. "You don’t have to kneel if you can fight them?"
"I know, but my point is, I would also do everything for Basti." Heaven snapped her eyes at the entrance of the cafe, only to see Dominic, Sebastian, Dane, and a few bodyguards enter the establishment. "In other words, it’s not only becoming the devil that I have to prepare myself to become, but also, I have to prepare myself for ripping my heart out if necessary."
