"Damn fate!" Stella muttered, throwing her bag onto the bed.She had just arrived home, but Ethan's words were still echoing in her head. She was stressed, trying to figure out how to deal with the pressure from both Ethan and Alex at the same time."Damn you, Ethan!" she cursed. "You jerk! You idiot! You don't know a damn thing!"Stella threw herself onto the bed. She kicked her legs wildly against the mattress before grabbing her own hair in frustration. She was acting like someone who had completely lost her mind."If only you knew, Ethan. I don't want to continue my relationship with that bastard Alex either!" Stella whispered under her breath.She then stared at the ceiling, her gaze wandering around the room. The spacious, luxurious bedroom, the designer handbags, and the expensive clothes. All this luxury had been left to her by her parents."I'm grateful that Daddy and Mommy gave me such a luxurious life. But... do I really have to deal with all these complicated problems beca

“You smell so good, Stella...” Ethan whispered right beside her ear.His whisper sent a subtle shiver through Stella. She reached up and wrapped her hand around the back of Ethan’s neck as he hovered above her, their faces so close that their breaths mingled. “Do it now, Ethan...”“You’re so impatient, but I like that,” Ethan replied with a faint smile.Ethan guided Stella to turn over, bringing her hands together behind her back before slowly tying them with his tie. “Let’s play a little game, Stella,” he whispered softly.Stella rested her face against the bed, a faint smile playing on her lips as she allowed Ethan to take complete control of their game that night.“I love looking at you from behind like this,” Ethan murmured, his voice deep and low beside the nape of her neck.Stella turned her head slightly, leaving only a sliver of space between them. “I hope you’re not going to waste time, Ethan. Or do you want tonight to end in failure again, just like yesterday?”“Nothing is g

“How do you like it?” Aviona asked, gently patting Stella’s shoulder. She had just finished styling Stella’s hair in her apartment. Stella’s entire look had been transformed, making her appear different, more alluring, and utterly captivating.“Do I really have to do this?” Stella murmured softly. Her hesitation was clearly written across her face.“Absolutely,” Aviona replied firmly without a hint of doubt. “You have to make Ethan fall at your feet. Meet him, seduce him, and make him fall in love with you. If you succeed in using his power to your advantage, getting revenge on Alex and Mia will be a piece of cake.”“But... what if I fail? I’ll just become easy prey for all of them,” Stella whispered, voicing her greatest fear.“You won’t. You’re beautiful, a successful career woman, and a hard worker. Ethan may be impressive, but you’re his equal,” Aviona replied bluntly, trying to instill some courage in her. “Go meet him tonight. Show him your charm and make that man kneel before y

“Your apartment is pretty nice,” Stella complimented her, trying to break the silence.After work, Stella had decided to accompany Aviona to her apartment. Going home would only make her sick to her stomach. Just imagining Mia’s face there was enough to stir her anger.“Don’t pretend you’ve forgotten. You’re the one who bought this apartment for me,” Aviona replied flatly.The two stood motionless in the doorway, gazing at each other for a moment.“You know perfectly well that my family fell apart after my parents decided to remarry. Neither of them was willing to take me in. I nearly had to drop out of college, and you witnessed firsthand how hard I struggled,” Aviona recounted slowly.Stella nodded faintly. Those painful memories were still crystal clear in her mind.“You also know... I even ended up becoming a married man’s mistress just to pay for my education,” Aviona continued, her voice trembling. “And you were the one who pulled me out of that dark hole. You hired me as your s

“Drink this, Miss Stella,” Aviona whispered gently as she held out a glass of water.Stella took the glass. She was still sitting on the floor, leaning her exhausted back against the leg of the desk. She took small sips of water.“Would you like me to rearrange your schedule for today?” Aviona asked. Stella merely nodded faintly.Silence settled between them. Stella sat lost in thought for quite some time, her gaze vacant, but Aviona remained faithfully by her side without moving an inch.“Or would you rather go home? I can cancel all your appointments for today, Miss Stella,” Aviona offered again.“Call me Stella,” Stella interrupted softly. “I don’t want to be your boss right now. We were college classmates, Aviona... I want to share my story with you, but not as your superior talking to a subordinate.”Aviona lowered herself to the floor and sat right beside Stella. “Tell me everything, Stella. You can call me Avi again, just like you used to.”“We used to be close, but ever since

“You act however you please, but you don’t want anyone else treating you the same way. Who do you think you are? You’re no better than trash!” Stella sneered after laughing triumphantly at Mia, who was now glaring at her furiously.Mia’s breathing grew ragged. “If I’m as filthy as my mother, then you’re just as wicked as yours! You’re trying to cover up Mr. William Moore’s crimes just to protect your family’s reputation!” Mia shouted.Seeing the situation grow increasingly heated, Aviona hurriedly closed the door and waited outside, keeping a close eye on things. She realized that Stella and Mia’s dispute was no longer just about work. It had become deeply personal. Aviona twisted her fingers nervously in front of the door, overcome with fear.“So, you admit that you’re filthy and no better than trash?” Stella asked mockingly.Mia shot back, “Think whatever you want. The woman you call trash shares the same blood as you.”Stella was furious. She hated the fact that Mia was her father’

"Mommy?!" Lilian exclaimed in a high-pitched voice, utterly shocked that her mother-in-law had suddenly appeared. "Oh, my goodness! Mommy must have heard me wrong! I never said I was going to leave this house."Rebecca stopped in her tracks, her eyes narrowing sharply as she stared at her daughter-in-law. "My ears aren't deaf, Lilian. I clearly heard the word 'leave' and something about running away from this house."Irina glanced briefly at Lilian before turning to Rebecca, keeping her expression as calm as possible."Mommy, Lilian is right. It seems you really did hear her wrong," Irina quickly interjected, choosing to cover for Lilian's lie just to put an end to the afternoon drama. "What Lilian actually meant was..." Irina paused, seemingly thinking of an excuse to deceive Rebecca. "She was only asking me to go somewhere with her because it's been a long time since we've done that."Rebecca snorted in disbelief. "Is that really true, Lilian?""Yes, Mommy!" Lilian immediately chime

"You just got home from work?" Lilian greeted Irina as she watched her cousin step through the front door.Irina glanced at her cousin with an uninterested look. "What do you want?" she asked bluntly, as if she already knew perfectly well that Lilian never approached her without having some ulterior motive.Lilian gave a faint smirk. "I'm just asking a simple question. There's no need to be so negative.""If you don't have anything important to discuss, I'd like to go straight to my room," Irina replied before turning to leave.However, Lilian quickly stepped in front of her. "Wait a minute."Irina let out a soft sigh, looking at Lilian with an exhausted expression. "What is it now?""Do you... have any money?" Lilian asked bluntly.Felix had just pressured and threatened her into demanding a huge sum of money. Meanwhile, Lilian, who relied entirely on the allowance her husband gave her and had no income of her own, had run out of options. Now, Irina was the only person she could turn

Felix smiled confidently. "Lilly, there's one thing you need to remember: I'm the person who knows you better than anyone else in this world. Ever since you lost both your parents, I've always been by your side. You think you can lie to me? How could you? I'd know the moment even the smallest lie slipped from your lips. You want to leave me? That's never going to happen, because I know every terrible thing you've done."Lilian clenched both fists tightly. "Even so, you can't treat me however you please! No matter how much you know about me, you have no right to cheat on me!"Felix nodded casually. "Fine. I've promised not to cheat on you, as long as you keep seeing me at least once a week. I need sex, too.""And my money, right?" Lilian retorted sharply, trying to belittle him.Felix scoffed coldly. "If I were rich and had plenty of money, I would never have let another man touch you, Lilly! You're the one who said we were doing all this for our future—especially for our child's futur

“Tomorrow is already Monday. Ah, I still wish I could just relax like this,” Irina murmured, nestled in her husband’s warm embrace.That night, after enjoying dinner together, Irina and Elijah unwound on their bed.Elijah smiled tenderly, one hand gently caressing his wife’s arm. “If you’re already tired and no longer wish to work, you can resign starting now, Darling.”Irina shook her head slightly, her voice soft. “That’s not what I meant. I actually still enjoy working... I just wish weekends were longer than workdays.”Elijah chuckled softly. “I think that’s every employee’s dream on the face of the earth.”“What’s wrong with that? I want to keep my job, but I also want an endless vacation.”The two of them laughed together, enjoying the warmth of the night.Meanwhile, in another bedroom, Mr. Wellington was having a serious conversation with his wife.“Did Lilian really go to Mr. Landon’s residence?”Rebecca nodded. “That’s what Aaron told me earlier.”“Why didn’t she go with Aaro

“Lilly... I love you...” Aaron held his wife tightly in his arms.Lilian breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she had succeeded in making Aaron feel guilty. “You always apologize, but you keep repeating the same mistakes. You make me feel like I don’t matter, like I’m not wanted,” she said through her deliberately feigned sobs.“Forgive me. Sometimes, I even lose sight of my own feelings. But you have to know this, Lilly. I don’t want you or our child to get hurt, not even a little.”“You’re the one hurting us, Aaron! Do you think all your cruel words and stupid actions don’t hurt our child, too? People say that when a mother’s heart is broken, the baby in her womb feels it as well. If you’re going to keep torturing me like this, then maybe it would be better if this baby just died!” Lilian broke into even louder sobs.Aaron tightened his embrace around her. “Forgive me... Hit me, curse at me as much as you want. But please, don’t hurt yourself or our child. I truly love you both.”Behi

“You weren’t serious about what you said earlier, were you?” Irina asked as soon as they arrived home.Elijah sat on the edge of the bed, glanced briefly at his wife, and then offered a faint smile. “I never make empty promises, Irina.”“Daddy didn’t say anything earlier. It seems I’m not the only one who disagrees with your decision,” Irina said.“I already told you that I made that decision after thinking it through carefully. Do you think I said it just because I was emotional?” Elijah retorted.Irina sat down on the bed beside her husband and moved closer to him. “I know you won’t actually go through with it. Elijah... You’re the eldest son in this family. How could you possibly abandon the family that raised you?”“I didn’t say it just because I’m tired of seeing you constantly worry about getting pregnant. I’ve also been thinking of a way for us to live peacefully without Aaron interfering in our lives.”Irina let out a long sigh. “You have every right to be angry with Aaron, an
