Grace's cheeks immediately felt hot at the man's words. She had to look down to hide the blush that was surely spreading across her cheeks."Should I?" And for some reason, Grace asked that. Perhaps she was so nervous she didn't know how to respond.Paul reached for Grace's hand to hold it."Of course, honey. Isn't that what every newlywed couple has to do?" Paul asked a question that made Grace even more uncomfortable.Gosh! This man really wants to make all my dreams of a perfect wedding come true.Grace was so happy she couldn't help but hug Paul's arm, clinging to his strong arms."Thank you, Uncle," Grace said softly."You're welcome, honey," Paul replied, kissing the top of Grace's head as it rested on his shoulder.It wasn't long before they arrived in front of Grace's apartment building.Paul got out first and opened the door for Grace."Yogie?" Grace called out, seeing Yogie standing leaning against the wall. The man waved at her."Then I'll go in first, Uncle," Grace said.B

Their discussion was over for the day. Grace planned to return to the apartment Carson had shared while in Alatha a few months ago. They were just about to get into the car when someone called out to Grace. "Grace!" The woman immediately turned to see who had called her. "Yogie!" Grace was quite surprised to see Yogie there. She immediately approached the cane-wielding man to help him walk. "I'll wait in the car!" Paul shouted, getting in first, allowing Grace to talk to Yogie. And here they were, sitting on a wooden bench on the sidewalk. "Thank goodness you're better," Grace said, pleased to see Yogie no longer lying in a hospital bed. "Yes. I'm grateful for that too," Yogie replied, slightly awkwardly. "Oh yeah, about my behavior a few weeks ago..." Yogie turned to Grace. "I'm sorry, Grace." It turned out Paul was right. Yogie would definitely come to Grace and apologize. Grace smiled broadly and hugged Yogie. "I'm sorry too for not visiting anymore," Grace said in Yogie'

"Congratulations, honey," Carson said happily as his beloved daughter enthusiastically showed off the ring on her ring finger. "Thanks, Dad," Grace replied, breaking away from her father's warm embrace and returning to sit beside Paul. "So, when are you planning to get married?" Carson asked, then looked at the couple. "As soon as possible. I'll have Jonas take care of everything," Paul replied. "That's great," Carson nodded in agreement, but his expression turned slightly sad. "But I'm sorry I can't help," he continued. "What's wrong, Dad?" "You have to return to Varden immediately. Our resort project has hit a bit of a snag." "Really? But my men haven't said anything." However, the resort remains Paul's responsibility. "It happened this morning. So maybe they haven't had a chance to tell you yet," Carson explained. "Should I help?" Carson shook his head slowly with a faint smile. "No need. I can handle it. Just pray it's over quickly so I can be at your wedding." "Of cou

The serene atmosphere in the luxurious restaurant, however, couldn't calm Grace down. She kept wondering what she'd done wrong to make Yogie so angry.It couldn't have been because she'd asked him to accompany her back to Alatha, could it? After all, Yogie had agreed to it. As for their engagement, it had been a fabrication from the start, and once again, Yogie had agreed to it.So what had made her so angry with Grace?The woman sighed softly. The delicious-looking dish didn't appeal to her at all. Grace had never wanted to be hostile toward the people she cared about, as it would only burden her. Or rather, she didn't want to lose someone important in her life. She wanted to maintain a good relationship as best as possible."Hey, honey, what's wrong? Why aren't you eating your food?"Paul had been watching Grace's movements since they arrived. She seemed anxious and not particularly enjoying their time together.Grace turned to Paul with a weary expression. "Yogie's still ignoring m

A few days later...Grace thought Yogie was acting differently that day, but it turned out Yogie's behavior continued. Every time she came, he would reject her with the same excuse: He wanted to rest. Grace was even doubtful whether he truly wanted to rest or was just trying to avoid her.And today, Grace was determined to meet Yogie, regardless of whether he would chase her away again.The woman was wearing a white off-shoulder top paired with a short peach skirt. Not to mention the small bag perched prettily on her shoulder. Grace pushed open Yogie's ward door and saw him turn toward her."I want to—""I want to talk." Before Yogie could utter his reason, Grace cut him off.Yogie rolled his eyes lazily. He didn't want to look at Grace, who was now walking toward him and sitting next to him."Hurry up. I want to rest soon," Yogie said. The man really didn't want to spend much time with Grace. Honestly, Yogie's attitude made Grace's heart throb."Why are you acting like this to me? Wh

"What happened?" she asked."There's been an accident on the circuit," one of them replied."Oh my God!" The man was shocked and then jumped in to help.Meanwhile, Grace remained there watching from a distance. She didn't dare approach because her body suddenly felt shaky.No. Please, not now! Grace thought as she realized she was being attacked by panic from her still-unhealed trauma. Grace's breathing began to become erratic, and her body began to lose balance. She trudged toward the wall. Leaning against it, she tried to regain her composure by inhaling and exhaling continuously.A short time later, an ambulance arrived. Two nurses ran in to help the victims. Grace remained there, watching as the unconscious racers were carried one by one to the ambulance. It seemed the accident was quite serious, as it involved quite a number of racers. Her blurred vision finally caught sight of the figure she had been searching for."Yogie?" Grace whispered softly, her eyes widening as she saw th

"Can you come to my company? I need your opinion, honey," Jayden said in a whiny, childlike tone. "Sorry, Jay. But I can't," Elena declined after a moment of silence. As if considering Jayden's request. "Why?" Jayden asked with a frown. It was unusual for Elena to refuse. Usually, whatever the man asked, Elena would immediately comply. "I still have to be here with my friend. We have something important to discuss. I'm sorry, Jay. I'm hanging up. See you later!" Elena said, unilaterally ending the call. "Hey! Elena! Hello!" Jayden called quickly, but it was too late. The line had already been disconnected. Jayden dialed Elena's number again, but it was no longer in service. Damn! Not wanting to be disturbed, the woman immediately turned off her phone. This made Jayden feel both suspicious and worried. Elena had never been like this. "Who's that old friend Elena met?" Jayden muttered. Jayden, unwilling to be burdened with such curiosity, immediately asked Roy to come in a

In Andrew's eyes, Hans was now just a man who ruined his daughter's marriage. And Hans couldn't accept that. He would fix it and regain his good name in front of Andrew. "I'm sorry, Hans. Because of me, you've gotten into trouble with my family and Jayden," Aria said, feeling uneasy. She had been very worried about Hans for the past few days, but she couldn't contact him, as Jayden's accusations would only get stronger. Aria had agreed to meet Hans tonight, under the pretext of meeting a friend. Aria could only hope that this meeting wouldn't cause any more trouble. "I've gotten myself into this trouble from the start, Aria." Aria, who had been looking down, looked up. The first thing she saw was Hans's captivating smile. "So you don't have to blame yourself. It just makes me want you even more," Hans said without thinking. "I'll take that as a sweet talk," Aria added with a faint smile, raising her glass for a toast. "So, what did you want to tell me, Hans?" Aria asked

And now the cruel man was hugging Elena from behind. There was a fear she was trying to hide. But Elena couldn't lie, and she missed Jayden by her side. That was why she still greeted him warmly, as if nothing had happened. Her love for him still outweighed her fear of him. Deep down, Elena wondered why Jayden would do such a thing. Considering how close they seemed. After all, weren't they father and son? Oh my God! The more Elena thought about it, the more she didn't understand. 'How big a secret are you keeping from me, Jayden?' "Elena, are you okay?" Elena was a little taken aback when Jayden asked. "Yes. I'm fine," Elena replied. "I know you're not okay. Don't lie to me." Oh shit! Elena had forgotten how sensitive Jayden was. She was so nervous she had to take a few deep breaths to calm herself. "It's fine if you still don't want to tell me. But don't be sad like this. It hurts my heart to see you." Luckily, Jayden didn't demand an explanation. "I'm really fine.

Day after day passed, and Elena hadn't heard anything from Jayden. Contact him? Elena had lost count of the number of calls and messages she'd sent Jayden. But none of them were answered or returned. Elena actually knew where he was. Where else could he be if not at Aria's house. The woman she hated so much. But Elena didn't want to add to his pain by going there and seeing Jayden with Aria. At least if she didn't see him in person, Elena could assume they weren't together. So stupid, right? Yes. Elena was truly stupid for loving Jayden so much that she couldn't think straight. A few days later, Elena received news that Jayden's father had been hospitalized. At that moment, Elena couldn't hold back any longer. She went to the hospital to see Jayden. He must have needed her presence so badly right now. But what Elena saw there made her rush away without even having a chance to see Jayden. "No... I didn't see anything," Elena whispered, her voice trembling. With faltering

"Jayden, why are you so quiet?" Elena asked, breaking the hug to look at Jayden. The woman pouted like a child. Jayden, snapping out of his reverie, shook his head quickly and then smiled. "It's okay. But, I think I'm hungry," the man said, rubbing his stomach. "Have you prepared food?" he asked, trying to change the subject. "Yes. I have," Elena said with a look Jayden found hard to decipher. Jayden thought she would continue demanding an answer, but she didn't. Thankfully, Jayden didn't want to argue with Elena right now. Last time, he hadn't even apologized and just left Elena's house. Honestly, Jayden sometimes felt fed up with Elena's overbearing attitude. "Okay. I'll take a shower first. Then we'll eat together," Jayden said, then left. "Okay," Elena replied, staring at Jayden's back as it began to disappear behind the bedroom door. *** Jayden and Elena ate in complete silence. The lack of conversation left Jayden a little confused. Elena was unusually silent. She wasn't

"Now you see the consequences of your selfishness? The consequences of your brazen act against me, huh?" Jayden said, pushing Aria hard, causing her to fall to the floor. It was unknown what had hit her calf, causing fresh blood to flow out. The man truly demonstrated his power to control everything. Aria looked up at Jayden. To her, he wasn't human, but a devil with no conscience. Jayden bent down and pulled Aria's chin to look directly into his sharp, eagle eyes. He gripped her jaw tightly. Aria tried to pry his hand away, but it was difficult. In fact, her resistance only made the pain worse. "You've involved everyone in this. If you'd just kept quiet, we could have resolved this peacefully, honey," Jayden said with a lopsided smile. "You're a devil, Jayden," Aria said, her body trembling with uncontrollable anger. "I'll take that as a compliment," Jayden replied, smiling proudly and removing his hand from Aria's jaw. Jayden walked around Aria. "We'll see. One by one, the peo
