Nothing I murmured and he left me while smirking.

I pulled my robe tighter around me, crossing my legs as I stole a glance at Josh. He looked effortlessly relaxed, sitting back against the headboard in a plain white tee and dark sweats, fingers lazily swirling the wine in his glass.

His gaze flickered to me, sharp and knowing.

“You’re staring,” he murmured.

I quickly looked away, pretending to focus on my drink. “I wasn’t.”

“You were.” His smirk deepened, and he shifted slightly, stretching his legs out. “You do that a lot when you think I’m not watching.”

A flush crept up my neck. “You’re imagining things.”

Josh chuckled, the low sound making my stomach flutter. “Am I?” He took a slow sip of his wine, then tilted his head. “Let’s play a game.”

I raised a brow. “A game?”

“Truth or dare,” he said, setting his glass aside. “Since we’re leaving tomorrow, let’s make it interesting.”

I hesitated.

But his gaze held mine, challenging.

I sighed, leaning back. “Fine. You first.”

“Truth,” he s

  • BITTER-SWEET REVENGE   CHAPTER 46: EXPLAIN

    Josh, I don't think you're in any position to ask me that.“Seriously?”“Ivanna, I told you I was leaving the house last night. I informed you. But you—you had somewhere to go and didn’t even bother to mention a damn thing.”“Is this how you act? Huh? Tell me. Because this is the highest level of immaturity I’ve ever come across. We’re living under the same roof, and I don’t even have a clue where you went.”His voice dropped, low and edged with something darker. “And now… you’re back in the morning asking me if it’s your business?”I folded my arms tightly, nails digging into my skin. “Josh, I repeat—you have no right to question me. You left yesterday, remember? I was bored and decided to take a stroll. Did anything bad happen?”My tone was icy, cold enough to burn. Every word was coated in the bitterness I couldn’t hide.He stepped down from the stairs slowly and stopped just two steps from me, freeing his hands from his pockets as he stood tall and close—almost too close. I could

    "Yes, what do you want?" I asked as I opened the door."Hmm, I will be going out by 7:00 p.m. I just wanted to let you know on time. Don’t bother waiting for me for dinner; you can eat.""Have I ever waited for you before eating dinner?""No.""Then why are you telling me that?" I asked, a bit angry. You could hear it in my tone."Okay," he said as he walked to his room. I shut the door behind me again and covered my eyes for a while. I needed someone to talk to.I brought out my phone and called Silver. She picked up on the first ring, as if she had been expecting my call all this while."Hello, pretty.""Yes," I replied slowly."Hope you're okay? Hope the Williams aren't troubling you. If they are, let me know so we can deal with both brothers ruthlessly." I smiled as she spoke."I just called to check on you. Hope everyone is fine.""Yes, my pretty. I visited your mom yesterday, and she’s looking very beautiful as always. Your father must be a lucky man to have married such a prett

    "Hmmm, I think it’s best we talk later."The words slipped out of my mouth, light and almost detached, but inside, everything was tangled and messy. I wasn’t avoiding him because I had nothing to say — God knew I had a thousand things clawing at my throat, demanding to be spoken. But not now.Not when anger still simmered under his skin like hot coals.Not when one wrong word could shatter what little calm we had left.Josh didn't argue. He simply nodded once. A sharp, tired movement."Okay," he said, almost under his breath.The car hummed quietly around us, the low vibration filling the silence I was too scared to break.Out of the corner of my eye, I watched him shift slightly in his seat, fingers tapping an agitated rhythm against his thigh.Then, almost casually, he said, still avoiding my gaze, "In case you have anything to say, you can just say it. Don’t hesitate, and don’t be afraid.And for our marriage… how do you want it? Big or just normal?"My heart stumbled.Even though

    Josh's father leaned back in his chair, his lips curling into a mockery of a smile. He laced his fingers together and stared straight at Josh, his voice slicing through the heavy air."You have always been in love with Yvonne, right?"The words dropped into the room like a stone thrown into still water, sending shockwaves through everything. I stood there, frozen. Yvonne. The name rang in my ears louder than anything else.For a second, I forgot how to breathe. Where… where had I heard that name before? It tickled the back of my mind, taunting me. Some old memory, some conversation I hadn’t cared enough about. Now it felt like that name was pulling the ground out from under my feet.My stomach twisted into a tight, painful knot. I tried to swallow, but it was like trying to swallow a rock. My palms went clammy. My fingers shook slightly where they hung by my sides.Who is she to him? Was Josh really in love with her? Why am I hurt?I know our relationship is just a contract, but I'm b

  • BITTER-SWEET REVENGE   CHAPTER 42: CARE

    Josh's father gave him a hard stare as he said, "Josh, watch your tongue. I have always cared about you."Josh scoffed, loud and bitter, like a laugh stuck in his throat."Cared about me? How?" His voice cracked, but he didn’t care. "You claim to care and my mother's death still remains a mystery. You claim to care—how many times did you even spend with me while I was growing up? You claim to care, yet you went ahead and re-marry that devil of a woman."The room felt like it had dropped ten degrees. Silence hung for a split second before it shattered with a bang."Josh, watch your tongue!" his father roared, slamming his palm hard on the table. The glass of water beside him rattled, almost ready to spill. My heart jumped at the sound, but Josh didn’t flinch. Not even a blink.I looked at Josh, my face pale, hands curled tightly by my side. I didn't say a word, but my eyes followed every twitch in Josh’s jaw, my lips parted like I wanted to stop him—but I didn’t dare.Josh stood there,

  • BITTER-SWEET REVENGE   CHAPTER 41: DEEDS OF TRANSFER

    As soon as those words left his mouth, before I could even process them, he threw a file across the desk. It landed in front of Josh with a loud, accusing slap. The flap flipped open, and I caught a glimpse of the bolded words printed across the top—Deeds of Transfer.My chest tightened.Deeds of transfer?I shifted slightly, trying to peek at the contents, but Josh’s hand closed over the pages before I could get a proper look. His posture remained rigid, but the slight twitch of his jaw told me he was just as stunned as I was.His father—Mr. William—looked at me then. Really looked at me. Not like I was a person, but something else entirely. Like a stain he couldn’t scrub clean.His lips curled in distaste. He shook his head slowly."You," he muttered under his breath, just loud enough for me to hear. "Still here."Josh scoffed and held the file up."So what’s this about, huh? You want me to transfer my property to Kenneth now? Is that it?"Mr. William didn’t flinch. Didn’t blink. In
