EP 29We sat there crying in silence, both of us holding on to the pieces of a past neither of us had ever truly let go of.I didn't need to do any further investigation. I believed Henry. Valerie clearly manipulated him. That's what she knows how to do best.It finally began to make sense why he had suddenly decided he was going to marry Valerie.Now that I knew everything, I realized how much hell Henry had gone through. And I was here trying to destroy the wrong person.Henry didn't deserve whatever Jaden and I had been planning to do to him, and I was definitely not going to take part in it anymore.When I returned to our room, Jaden was already there. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, scrolling through his phone.The moment I walked in, he looked up."Where have you been?"I closed the door behind me. "With Henry," I said confidently.His expression immediately hardened. "You were with him?""Yes," I said.He put his phone down, his eyes fixed on me. "Why? What happened?"I

EP 28"Let her go.""What?" Jaden said, almost yelling.Valerie continued calmly. "End your marriage to Victoria."Jaden's jaw tightened. "And why would I do that?""Because she's holding you back."He frowned. "What are you talking about?"Valerie leaned closer. "A powerful man like you deserves a woman who actually understands power, Jaden. Someone who can stand beside you at the top of Vicos, not someone who drags you down with secrets."His expression darkened. "Be careful what you say about my wife."Valerie smiled. "I'm only telling you what I see."Then she slowly stood up. "Think about it, Jaden." She picked up her glass. "I can give you the chairmanship." She paused. "But all you have to do is let Victoria go."Jaden remained seated.Valerie walked away, leaving him alone in the living room.For several seconds, he didn't move. Her words continued to replay in his mind.He leaned back against the couch, his gaze fixed ahead. Then his thoughts shifted to Victoria.The way she'

EP 27For a moment, I couldn't answer. The question hit me harder than it should have.Henry's face flashed through my mind. His lips against mine. The way he had pushed me away. The fear in his eyes when he spoke about Valerie.I quickly forced the thoughts away."No," I said. This time, my voice was quieter.But Jaden continued staring at me. "Then why are you chasing after him?"I swallowed. "I wasn't chasing after him, Jaden. You're clearly..."He suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me closer. His voice dropped. "It better not be what I'm thinking."I froze. For a moment, I couldn't breathe.Then he released me. Without another word, Jaden turned around and walked away.I remained where I was, staring after him. My heart was pounding. I rubbed my arm where his fingers had held it.Who was that man? I had seen Jaden angry before, but this was different. There was absolutely no warmth in his eyes.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself.A few feet away, Valerie stepped into the

EP 26After breakfast, I remained in the living room, hoping I'd see Henry walk in at any moment, but he didn't.There was absolutely no trace of him.I sat on the edge of one of the sofas, my eyes drifting toward the entrance every few seconds. Each time I heard footsteps somewhere in the house, my head immediately turned.But it was never Henry. I couldn't stop thinking about him.Why had he skipped breakfast? Was he okay?The thought had barely crossed my mind when I suddenly frowned.What was wrong with me? Why was I sitting here worrying about Henry as if something terrible had happened to him?I quickly snapped myself out of it.I wasn't worried about him. I only needed to ask him what he had been about to say last night, and that was all. Once I got my answer, I could finally stop thinking about him.I eventually stood from the living room and headed down the hallway.I wasn't looking for him. At least, that was what I told myself.But then I saw him.Henry was walking toward m

EP 25That night, I couldn't sleep.I tossed and turned beneath the blanket, my mind refusing to quiet down, and every time I closed my eyes, Henry's words echoed in my head.Valerie drugged me.No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't understand what he meant. Valerie was cruel, but she couldn't be that cruel. Could she?Could she really drug someone for her own selfish reasons?The thought sent an uncomfortable shiver down my spine. There was something else. Something Henry had been about to tell me before Jaden walked in. Something important.I needed to know what it was. I was so desperate for the truth that my chest felt tight.I turned my head and glanced beside me. Jaden was already asleep. His breathing was slow and steady, his face completely relaxed.For a moment, I simply watched him.Then I slowly pushed the duvet aside, careful not to make a sound and wake Jaden up. The last thing I wanted to do was answer his cold, annoying questions.I slipped out of bed and qu

EP 24Henry stood in the doorway.My heart immediately began pounding.He looked exhausted. His hair was slightly disheveled, and there were dark shadows beneath his eyes, as though he hadn't gotten much sleep.I guessed he couldn't stop thinking about me either. Maybe he'd been waiting for Valerie to leave as well."Henry, what are you doing here?" I asked.He closed the door behind him. The soft click of the lock echoed through the room."We need to talk."I stared at him. "About what?""About Valerie...""Valerie?" I took a step toward him, my voice dropping into a low purr."Why do you want to talk about Valerie?" I asked. "Why not talk about us...?""Us?" Henry muttered, confused."Yes, us, Henry." I took another bold step toward him. "About that kiss."Henry immediately took a step backward. "Victoria, what happened that day...""I know what happened," I said curtly. "You kissed me. And you kissed me back," I added.His jaw tightened when I said the words. For a moment, neither
