“So you finally decided to show your real face, huh?” he whispered, though the tremble in his voice held more pain than anger.

And in that moment, Violet felt her soul broke.

It hurt more than anything Michael had threatened her with.

“You have no reason to pretend anymore,” Ethan continued, his voice low and bitter. “Your dad got his heart transplant. He’s safe now. No one will try to snatch his position.”

Violet’s brows knitted together, her chest tightening.

How easily he assumed the worst.

How deeply his words cut her.

He searched her face and found..... nothing.

Because she couldn’t show what she truly felt, not with Michael watching through her phone, not with her parents in danger.

Ethan’s jaw tightened in frustration at her silence.

“For that damn position...

” he nearly spat, “you pretended to be the ideal wife this whole time. Didn’t you?” His voice broke, exposing the depth of his devastation. “Violet.... why did you do that to me?”

She stared at him, her lips trembling and

    6 years later- Ethan sat in the chairman’s seat, barely listening as a new employee delivered a presentation about the advertisement for a newly launched women’s perfume.“Another concept we can use is ‘Love That Lasts Forever.’ We can show a married couple’s moments through different stages of their relationship, first date, wedding, honeymoon, first home and anniversary. The wife uses the perfume in each scene, representing how the scent becomes a part of their journey and memories together. Tagline - 'For a Love That Lasts Forever. A Scent to Remember Every Moment.’”The moment the words married couple and wife reached the air, Ethan’s gaze snapped sharply toward the new employee. The tension inside the room became thick enough to choke on. Everyone gulped, exchanging looks, silently warning the new guy who had no idea what landmine he had stepped on.Someone cleared his throat loudly, trying to stop the disaster, but the damage was already done.“The meeting is over.”Ethan stood

    Ethan’s blood ran cold.For a second, it felt like his heart had forgotten how to beat.Emma’s voice softened even more as if she feared the truth might shatter him completely.“Ethan.... they were threatening to kill her parents.”The phone nearly slipped from his hand. His fingers trembled uncontrollably and a sharp pain spread through his chest.His own cruel words to Violet flashed inside his mind like blades...His accusations even though seeing her trembling lips.Her breaking voice.“I don’t need you to take responsibility for my baby..... You’re right, it’s not yours.”He staggered where he stood.His knees weakened as if the ground had been ripped from beneath him. A heavy nausea crept up his throat. The room around him blurred, spinning slightly and his heartbeat echoed painfully in his ears, faster and faster, drowning out everything else.Realization hit him so hard he felt breathless.He had misunderstood everything.He had hurt her so deeply.He had failed her in the mom

    “I want to make sure this baby is mine before deciding anything.”For a moment, she forgot how to breathe.'That..... that was his first reaction after learning I'm pregnant.'Her lips parted in disbelief, a faint and humorless scoff escaping her. She turned her face away, unable to bear the sight of him. Ethan, however, didn’t spare her a second glance. His jaw clenched continuously as if he were chewing on a thousand ugly thoughts.She turned back to him, eyes burning.She almost laughed, an angry, broken laugh.“Y-You think it’s not yours?”He inhaled deeply as though her question exhausted him.“I just want to be sure the baby is mine before taking any decision.”Her heart squeezed so painfully she felt dizzy. Tears threatened to spill but she forced them back. She refused to cry, not for him.If she cried, it would be for the life growing inside her, the only thing truly innocent in all of this.“What decision are you even talking about? And what if the baby isn’t yours, huh?” sh

    Violet’s breath hitched.Not because of the harshness of his tone, she expected that by now.But because of the finality in it.It felt like a door slamming shut right in her face. Her lips trembled as she opened them to speak but he stepped back, running a hand through his hair in frustration. His chest rose and fell sharply, he was hurting, drowning in his own assumptions and yet he wasn’t willing to see the truth even when it was right in front of him.“Ethan.....” her voice cracked helplessly, fragile as thin glass, she again tried to whisper “I’m not lying to you. Not about this. I’m doing it-----”He cut her off with a sharp laugh.“Doing it for a reason? Is that your new excuse?” he asked, shaking his head coldly. “Violet, you walked out of the hotel with another man. You hid your father's surgery from me. You shut me out. And now you're talking about divorce as if my feelings were nothing more than collateral damage. And now you are saying you are doing it for a reason?” he c

    The ground seemed to tilt beneath Violet's feet the moment she heard those words as if the very earth was warning her of the evil standing before her. Violet’s breath hitched and she gave the slightest shake of her head, an instinctive, helpless gesture she hadn’t even meant to make. That was all it took for the old man’s lips to curl into a satisfied, venomous smirk. “The moment you get divorced from Ethan,” he drawled slowly, savoring each word, “the deal your adoptive father made with James William collapses. No protection. No support. No one left to shield you or your precious parents.” His smile widened, sharp and triumphant. “Then I will marry Amelia and I will finally become the main shareholder of the company.” He paused, clapping for himself as if he were performing on a stage rather than ripping their world apart. “I’m a genius, am I not?” he asked proudly, turning toward his men. They laughed obediently, nodding like puppets who feared the hand controlling them. Violet
