Isabella stared at the massive shopping mall, her mind racing. What are we doing here? she wondered. Before she could make sense of it, a guard pulled open the car door, waiting.

"Go with the guards and get yourself some new clothes," Tavian said, his voice flat.

Isabella blinked in surprise."Huh?"

Has he really brought her here just to shop?. For a fleeting second, she wondered if she’d misjudged him—maybe there was a shred of kindness under that cold exterior. But his next words shatter

    Isabella hummed softly as she twirled happily in front of the mirror inside the large bedroom. The yellow sundress flowed beautifully around her knees as she spun slowly again, admiring herself from another angle. For the past two days, she had done almost nothing except try on the new dresses that had been bought for her. Though she had already tried some on at the mall that day, there were still too many left untouched. Besides, she had nothing else to do inside the mansion. Her days had become painfully empty. As for Tavian… Ever since that day they came back from the mall, she had not seen him again. And she did not really care. A bright smile appeared on her face again as she stared at herself in the mirror. The yellow dress truly looked beautiful on her. Tiny sunflower patterns decorated the soft fabric, making her look younger and brighter. The flower clip resting on her hair matched perfectly. “This is really pretty,” she muttered softly to herself. “It would be ni

    “Bring her heart to me.” Those four words refused to leave Ethan’s head. They echoed repeatedly inside the dark room like a curse he could not escape from. He sat quietly on the old couch inside the abandoned warehouse, his elbows resting on his knees while his head hung low. The room was dimly lit by a single weak bulb hanging above him. Silence filled the space except for the distant sound of cars outside and the soft ticking of a leaking pipe nearby. But even the silence could not calm his troubled mind. Could he really do it? Could he truly kill the daughter of the woman who once saved his life? The very thought made his chest tighten painfully.Years ago, when the world treated him like trash, she was the only person who showed him kindness. She gave him food when he had nothing. She spoke to him like he mattered. She looked at him like he was human. She had saved him.And now fate wanted him to repay that kindness by murdering her daughter. Ethan shut his eyes tightly.“This wo

    Heaven didn’t even wait for the event to be over before leaving the hall and calling for a cab. The cold night breeze brushed against her skin as she stood by the roadside waiting, but it did nothing to calm the storm raging inside her mind. The moment the cab arrived, she entered quickly and shut the door behind her. She leaned back against the seat while staring blankly through the window as the city lights passed by. But no matter how far the cab drove, she could still hear his voice clearly in her head. “I will play with you, until you beg me to end you.” Her fingers tightened slowly around her handbag. Though the cab was warm, a cold shiver still crawled down her spine. She closed her eyes and rested her head against the headrest, trying hard to calm herself down. If White had truly returned, then things were worse than she imagined. He was supposed to be gone. Gone for good. So why now? Why return after all these years? She thought about calling Sting immediately, but th

    Heaven finally arrived at her company’s event hall. Just as she expected, the place was already crowded. Members of staff, directors, managers, reporters, and other workers from the broadcasting company filled the massive hall. Expensive lights shone beautifully from above while soft music played quietly in the background, giving the atmosphere a calm and elegant feeling. People stood in groups, chatting and laughing while holding glasses of wine and champagne. Heaven walked deeper into the hall with a polite smile on her face. As she looked around, a waiter approached her with a silver tray filled with glass cups containing different drinks. The waiter bowed respectfully before lowering the tray toward her. Heaven nodded slightly and picked up one of the glasses. “Thank you,” she said softly. The waiter bowed again before walking away. Heaven slowly raised the glass to her lips and took a small sip while observing the people around her. Everyone here had their own purpo

    The moment they stepped out of Derek’s office, both men released a breath they did not realize they had been holding. But for completely different reasons. Luis finally felt like he could breathe again. The cold pressure inside that office had almost suffocated him. Even the air around Derek felt heavy and dangerous. Standing near him for too long always made Luis nervous. But Ethan’s reason was different. He could still feel Derek’s piercing gaze on him. It was as if the man already knew the truth and was simply waiting for Ethan to confess it himself. Ethan clenched his jaw slightly as they walked through the hallway. He did not understand why he lied. He knew she was the girl Derek had been searching for all these years. But the moment he remembered the time they spent together before she disappeared… he simply could not bring himself to send her to death. Beside him, Luis kept talking. “You seriously need treatment,” Luis said while glancing at Ethan’s bleeding side. “Your

    Luis drove for almost two hours without stopping. The city lights slowly disappeared behind them as the road became darker and emptier. The smooth highways turned into cracked roads filled with potholes and abandoned buildings. Rusted streetlights flickered weakly in some places while other parts of the road were swallowed completely by darkness. Ethan sat quietly in the passenger seat, pressing one hand against his injured side. Blood had already soaked through his shirt, but he ignored the pain. His sharp eyes remained fixed on the window. The deeper they drove into the area, the worse it became. Old warehouses stood like dead giants under the night sky. Burnt cars were abandoned by the roadside, and stray dogs wandered through piles of trash. It was the kind of place people avoided even during the daytime. Finally, Luis slowed down the van and stopped in front of an old factory hidden between several broken buildings. From the outside, the factory looked completely abandoned.

    “Who… who are you?” Isabella asked, fear tightening her chest. She looked down at the hand gripping her wrist. It was deathly cold, as if she were being held by a corpse, yet his grip was like iron. She tried to wrench her arm away. “Let… let go of me!” She struggled with everything she had, but

    Isabella could hear the door of the bedroom opening and closing. "Madam, it is time for breakfast," Joy said as she walked forward and pushed the curtains aside, allowing the sunlight to seep in. Isabella could only hiss and groan as she struggled to sit up.When she finally did, she saw Joy stand

    Isabella sat perched on the edge of the bed, her gaze following Joy’s frantic pacing. The maid’s feet drummed a restless rhythm against the floorboards. "Madam, you should have been more careful," Joy muttered, shaking her head sharply. "No... I should have warned you about the young Miss." Sh

    As the car pulled into the Crowne Mansion, Isabella’s mind was a storm of fear. Everything finally clicked: the secret passages, the effortless way Tavian had committed murder without a flicker of remorse, the constant wall of bodyguards. She was married to the head of the country’s most powerful M
