The mist thickened.

Not enough to choke.

Not enough to panic.

Just enough—

to distract.

I forced myself to breathe slowly.

Controlled.

Measured.

Jason stayed close.

Too close.

His hand at my waist hadn’t moved.

And that—

That was becoming a problem.

On the screen, Emilian smiled again.

“Let’s begin,” he said.

I didn’t answer.

“Phase one of the Bride Games.”

The words echoed, almost ceremonial.

“You like challenges, don’t you, Amber?”

I crossed my arms.

“Depends on who’s asking.”

He chuckled sof

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   The truth

    Mr. Sun did not stop. He carried the story forward with the same measured control, but now there was something darker beneath it—something closer to anger. “We did not get more information at the time,” he said. “An ambulance arrived and took her to the hospital. We gave our statements to the police.” Jason’s eyes had not left him. “When we arrived at the hospital and asked for Rebeca,” Mr. Sun continued, “one of the nurses informed us that her husband had checked her out.” A pause. “Against medical advice.” Of course he had. “Two weeks later,” Mr. Sun said, his voice tightening almost imperceptibly, “we were informed by the police that she had died on site.” The room went still. “But she was alive when they took her.” The contradiction sat there. Heavy. Deliberate. “The funeral was closed casket,” he added. Jason’s jaw clenched. “But something was wrong.” Mr. Sun’s gaze softened just slightly—not weakness, but memory. “Your grandmother,” he said, “has always had… ex

    Mr. Sun did not argue.He simply nodded.And for the first time, I could clearly see it—Where Jason got it from.That same unshakable presence.That same refusal to bend once a decision had been made.That same quiet authority that did not need to be raised to be felt.Mr. Sun straightened slightly, his gaze moving across the room, taking in every person present.“If I am going to tell this story,” he said evenly, “I will do so uninterrupted.”A pause.“Are we clear?”No one challenged him.Then his eyes sharpened further.“And any mention of my wife will not be logged anywhere.”That drew a reaction.Subtle—but there.He turned his attention directly to Mr. Stait and Emory.“I do not consent for this to be recorded.”The air shifted again.Not tension this time—Control.Emory glanced at John.John hesitated for half a second, then reached forward and disabled the recording system on his desk.The faint hum of surveillance equipment cut off.“Understood,” John said.Emory gave a sho

    Amber POVBy the time Mr. Sun arrived at the base, Jason was unraveling in a way I had never seen before.Not loudly. Not visibly to anyone who did not know him.But I did.He could not stay still.He paced the length of Mr. Stait’s office over and over again, measured steps that were anything but calm. His hands flexed at his sides, then crossed, then dropped again. Every movement was controlled—and completely restless at the same time.The tension in the room had shifted entirely.Emory had stopped speaking.Mr. Stait watched in silence.Even the screens had gone ignored.Jason kept walking.Back and forth.Again.And again.I leaned against the desk, watching him, arms crossed, trying—failing—to remain patient.“Jason…” I warned once.He didn’t even hear me.Another turn.Another pass.Another silent storm contained in too small a space.I exhaled sharply.I was one second away from physically tackling him to the ground just to make him stop moving.And then—The door opened.Every

    Amber POV“Tell me where you are,” Mr. Sun said at last, his voice steady but stripped of its earlier ease. “And I will meet you there, son. But I cannot do this on the phone.”Jason did not hesitate.“I’m at the military base,” he replied, the dryness in his tone cutting through the room.There was a brief pause on the other end.Then—“I’ll see you there, son. I’m leaving right now.”Another pause, softer this time, heavier.“And Jason… just know this.”The entire room seemed to still around us.“Everything that was hidden from you… was done for your own protection.”The line went dead.Silence followed.Not the quiet of uncertainty.The quiet of something approaching.Jason did not move immediately. The phone remained in his hand, the screen dimming slowly as if even it understood the weight of what had just been set in motion.I stepped closer again, my hand finding his arm.He exhaled slowly.Not relief.Preparation.Across the room, Emory exchanged a glance with Mr. Stait. Neit

    Amber POVEmory rose from his chair with quiet certainty, the kind that did not ask for permission.“Jason,” he said, his voice even but edged with purpose, “I think it is time to call your grandparents, don’t you?”The words settled over the room like a final piece placed on a board none of us had realized we were playing.Jason did not answer immediately.He went pale. Not dramatically, not in a way that would draw attention from anyone who did not know him—but I did. I saw the way the color drained from his face, the way his shoulders stilled, the way his eyes closed as if shutting out the present might give him space to understand the past.Even with his eyes shut, I could see the movement beneath them. Quick. Restless. Searching. He was thinking—no, reliving—pulling apart memories he had once accepted and forcing them into a new shape. One that fit what we now knew.I reached for his hand.It was cold. Slightly damp.Jason’s fingers tightened around mine, firm and deliberate. Not

  • A woman worth billions, dated the wrong brother   Old wounds

    Jason did not sit this time. He remained standing, arms crossed, eyes fixed somewhere past the walls. He wasn't looking at us—he was looking through the years.“My father remarried when I was three,” he said flatly. No emotion. Just a log entry. “When my brother Oscar was born…”A pause. Not hesitation. Calibration.“I was sent away.”John Stait frowned slightly. “Sent where?”Jason’s jaw tightened. “To live with extended family,” he said. “I was five.”The way he spat the words made it clear that "family" was just the legal cover.“I was never called by my name,” he continued. My chest tightened; the room felt suddenly smaller. “No letters. No phone calls. No contact.”Silence spread through the room like a cold front.“If I tried to ask…” His voice hardened, the first crack in the ice. “I was beaten.”No one moved. No one interrupted. We weren't just listening to a story; we were hearing the internal workings of the ring.“I was made to clean. To work. Small jobs, they said. To earn

    We drifted into lighter topics after that — Molly’s upcoming clothing line debut, fabric choices, venue rumors, guest lists. It felt almost normal. Almost. Then another call came through. Grandfather. “Molly, I’m sorry — I have to take this. I’ll call you back.” Her teasing hum was the la

    High above them, the balcony doors remained slightly open. Madam Sun stood in the shadows, one hand resting lightly against the carved stone railing. She had not meant to watch. And yet— There they were. Jason, bare-chested, having clearly abandoned formality the moment he stepped upstair

    I stepped into the room but remained near the door. Jason removed his jacket, placing it carefully over the back of a chair. His movements were precise, as if control over small things kept the larger chaos at bay. “Jason,” I said quietly. He glanced at me. “Yes?” I hesitated for only a s
