Chapter: Last warningElaira's POV "You bastard, I warned you never to touch her again. How dare you lay your hands on what's mine? Just die today, you worthless piece of shit," Edrick fumed in rage as he grabbed Aaron's tie, twisted it around his neck, pulling him forward with brutal force. Aaron staggered and choked for air as Edrick tightened his hold. Edrick's bloodshot eyes sent a shiver down my spine, my heart hammering wildly against my ribs. His frenzied gaze terrified me, and every instinct screamed at me to run. When he lunged forward again, I reacted without thinking and stepped between him and Aaron. His fist was already swinging. Then our eyes locked and he froze. His hand slowly curled into a fist, knuckles turning white as he fought to control himself, "While I have been holding myself back going crazy inside watching you cozy up to him just because you told me to trust you and you repay me by sleeping with this bastard behind my back." I urgently tried to explain myself, "I

Chapter: Let's reconcileElaira's POV "Don’t make me laugh. Edrick has been running the company for years and is the one who has brought it to its current standing. Looks like stealing others' things and boasting about them is a habit of yours, just like you did with my mother's company," I scoffed, but managed to put on a gentle smile on my face to fool the people eagerly watching. Aaron's face flushed as he jerked my hand away, "I only crushed all the bugs on my way to the top. Don’t whine just because you were too weak to stand against me. Count yourself lucky, after you cheated on me with my father, I am still generous enough to let you stay as my wife, even though you have been nothing but a nuisance until now. So play the role of the perfect wife I tell you to, and I will let you enjoy a luxurious life." As he stepped towards the stage, I grabbed his arm and pulled him into a hug. The crowd erupted in cheers. "As expected of a newlywed couple." "My gosh! They can't bear to separate from e

Chapter: You don't own meI looked up at Edrick with fear in my eyes, my voice shaking, "After what he did to me, I would never get back with him. Never." Edrick stepped forward and grabbed my chin tilting my face to meet his eyes. The pain and betrayal flashed in his eyes hit me like a blow and my heart was a mess, "Then why? Why did you steal the documents from my hidden safe and give them to him?" My thoughts scattered, spinning out of control as guilt consumed me, making my brain foggy. I could barely breathe, let alone speak, but somehow the words stumbled out, "I am... sorry." It sounded weak and meaningless, even to me. Edrick's expression twisted as if my words only fueled his rage. He chuckled bitterly, "Hah! You are sorry?" His bloodshot eyes burned into me as he snarled, "What did I even expect from you? You have always backstabbed me. You would rather go crawling back to your cheater and pathetic husband than be with me." My heart clenched with sadness. This cruel man had devasted me thr

Chapter: He is a monster "What the hell are you saying? Is this just another one of your pathetic attempts to turn me against Edrick?" My voice trembled from anger. "I am not lying to you. Father knew your mother was close to developing the medicine before Bennet Pharmaceuticals. He couldn't let that happen. You know exactly what kind of man he is, don’t you?" Aaron said with a serious face. I took a sharp breath, my nails digging into my palms, "Edrick may be a ruthless person but he would never stoop so low as to kill a person." Aaron exhaled sharply shaking his head, "How do you think he has kept 'Bennet Corporation' at the top position continuously for so many years? Open your eyes, Elaira. he doesn’t think twice to eliminate anyone who stands in his way." My breath hitched, "Shut up." Edrick didn’t budge a bit while tearing down his company just to drag Aaron down. It’s true that he doesn’t hesitate to take extreme measures against his enemy to gain his motive. But Edrick killing someone?

Chapter: Who killed my motherI quickly hid the folder behind the books on the shelf and grabbed a random book hurriedly. Edrick walled towards me and wrapped his arms around me from behind, "What are you reading so late at night?" "Nothing. I was just looking through your book collection. It's already dawn, I need to go back to my room. You should go freshen up," I tried to speak normally even though my heart was beating like crazy. Edrick let out a low grumble and nuzzled into my neck, "Why are you always in a hurry to leave me?" I gently pushed him away, "I am really tired these days. I have to be up early for work." "You don't need to go to the research centre today. Fashion week is coming up. You will accompany me this year. Come with me in the morning to pick a dress," Edrick said softly. I frowned, "What would I even do there?" Edrick's lips curled into a smirk, "You will watch the downfall of your husband." Fear gripped me as I realised Edrick's plan was going to be ruined because of me. Wh

Chapter: Stealing the documents I felt my heart thumping against my chest. Standing in front of Edrick, guilt washed over me at the thought of stealing the documents he had hidden away. I fidgeted with my hands and whispered, "Aaron was insisting I go back to him." I couldn’t reveal our entire conversation to Edrick. I needed Aaron's help to uncover the truth about my mother's killer. Edrick's face darkened as he stepped closer to me, his eyes burning with anger, "That bastard has got some nerve. Why didn’t you slap him across the face? Do you still love him even after he sold you to me? Elaira, I expected better from you." My chest tightened with sorrow and humiliation. Edrick and Aaron just saw me as nothing more than a cheap item, something to be used however they pleased. I swallowed the lump forming in my throat and met Edrick's gaze, "Even if you do only see me as a product, I am a human being and I refused Aaron." The rage in Edrick's eyes diminished and he looked at me softly for a moment before he
