At the Ivander family's main residence, the morning silence was suddenly shattered by the sharp clink of a spoon striking a porcelain plate.Franklin sat at the head of the dining table, his phone lit up beside his cup of coffee.His aging eyes stared at the screen in disbelief. The day's headline was displayed prominently, announcing the marriage of his biological daughter, Alexa, to the highest leader of DEV. Group.Olivia kept her mouth tightly shut. She briefly glanced at Felicya, who was also seated at the table, before looking back at her husband anxiously.The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense and suffocating after they saw the shocking news.Bang!Franklin slammed his palm onto the dining table.The impact was so hard that several cups on the table trembled."That girl has truly gone too far!" Franklin growled, his breathing turning ragged as anger rushed to his head. His fingers curled tightly into fists until his knuckles turned pale. "How could she get married w

The next morning.The sun had barely risen when a piece of news shook the entire nation.A major business news outlet released a headline in bold letters:"DEV. Group's Supreme Leader, Devan Alistair, Officially Announces His Marriage to Alexa Ivander, the Young Lady of the Ivander Family."At the Alistair family's main residence, the peaceful breakfast atmosphere suddenly turned gloomy."What does this mean?!" Daniel frowned as he read the news. Devan—his half-brother from the same father but a different mother—had married Alexa, the woman who was supposed to marry his son, Ronan.Martha remained silent as she read the same article on her phone. She was equally shocked. According to the report, Devan and Alexa had been married long before Alexa and Ronan's engagement was called off."How is this possible?" Martha looked utterly incredulous.At that moment, Ronan had just arrived in the dining room. He immediately noticed the tense expressions on his parents' faces.Especially Daniel'

Alexa lowered her gaze to the ring on her finger, tangible proof of the bond she shared with Devan.Yes, perhaps it really was time to make their marriage public—for the benefit of both of them.Slowly, Alexa looked up at Devan. "I don't mind. This is actually what I need right now."One of Devan's brows lifted as he studied the change in Alexa's expression. There was a trace of sorrow in her eyes."What's wrong?" he asked. "Is there another problem?""My mother's will," Alexa replied quietly.She tightened her grip on the edge of the blanket covering her legs and took a deep breath before continuing."My mother left me a considerable inheritance. But there are conditions attached to it."Her gaze grew even more distant."I can only claim the family's main assets in full if I'm legally married or at least have a life partner who is committed to spending the future with me.""And you've been hiding this because you didn't trust anyone?" Devan immediately guessed. His tone was probing b

The bedroom felt unusually quiet, filled only with the faint ticking of the wall clock and Alexa's soft breathing as she finally drifted into sleep.Devan remained seated at the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on his wife's pale face. Alexa's fingers were still loosely wrapped around his wrist, as though she feared that if she let go for even a moment, he would disappear.Devan let out a quiet sigh.With his free hand, he gently brushed a few strands of hair away from Alexa's forehead. A strange warmth lingered in his chest, accompanied by a powerful protective instinct. He silently swore that he would never allow anyone to hurt Alexa again.While he was still watching over her, the phone in his jacket pocket vibrated softly.Moving as carefully as possible so he wouldn't wake her, Devan slowly slipped his wrist from Alexa's grasp. He stood up and walked toward the bedroom balcony. After closing the glass door behind him, he answered the call."Well, Mike?" Devan's voice was calm but

Devan felt Alexa’s body still trembling.He lifted her into his arms.“Clean up all this mess. And find the mastermind behind this ambush.” Devan’s eyes sharpened as he gave orders to the people lying on the asphalt.“Yes, Sir.” Mike nodded in understanding.Alexa remained silent, hiding her face in Devan’s chest when she heard his firm, unquestionable voice.Devan walked toward the car while carrying Alexa. He made sure she sat comfortably.When Devan pulled his hand away, Alexa immediately held onto his wrist.Devan was surprised. He looked at Alexa’s face, which was still pale.“You won’t leave me alone, will you?” Alexa looked at him fearfully.Devan extended one hand. He gently stroked Alexa’s hair.“I won’t. I’m just going to sit in the seat next to you.” Devan gestured with his chin toward the seat beside Alexa.Slowly, Alexa released Devan’s hand. She nodded softly.Devan closed the car door before walking around the car to get into the seat beside Alexa.Once seated next to h

At Ronan’s apartment. Some time earlier.Ronan sat anxiously. He was waiting for news from his men.Until his phone rang. Ronan hurriedly answered the incoming call.One of his legs was crossed, his left arm rested on the back of the sofa, while his other hand held the phone against his ear.“Did you manage to find her?” Ronan’s smile spread perfectly. He could no longer wait for the results of his hired men’s surveillance.“Yes, Sir. We are tailing her now.”Alexa had blocked him and kept avoiding him. So now, Ronan had to act quickly before Alexa slipped out of his reach again.“Capture her, no matter how. I want her in front of me even if it has to be by force,” Ronan ordered.“Yes, Sir. I will carry out your order immediately.”“And remember, if you fail to do it, then never drag my name into this.”The call ended.Ronan took a glass from the table, then gulped down the drink until it was finished.“Don’t blame me for being harsh, Alexa. Blame yourself for daring to lie to me and
