Scarlett stood at the hotel’s front desk, busy checking in and paying the bill. The soft hum of the lobby filled the air, blending with the faint scent of polished wood and fresh lilies from a nearby vase. She had just signed the final document when a sharp, familiar voice broke through the quiet.

“Look who’s here!”

Scarlett turned around, slightly startled. Dawn’s face came into view, wearing a grin as if he had just seen something amusing.

“Dawn...” she greeted him seriously.

“Hello, Scarlett

    Scarlett felt the sudden heat rise in her chest from irritation.How could Devine lie so effortlessly?Darius turned toward Devine. Her cheeks were flushed, and she looked genuinely embarrassed. There were so many questions troubling Darius's mind. “Why did you suddenly disappear after that night?”Devine fell silent for a moment, clearly thinking of an excuse. Then she smiled innocently. “I-I was scared... I didn't know who you were back then. I was afraid you'd blame me, or that my parents would find out. I thought it would be safer to keep... quiet.”Darius's voice softened slightly. “You don't have to be afraid. If you ever need anything, just tell me. I'll help however I can.”Devine's eyes lit up at his words. Her lips parted, but she stopped herself.Darius noticed the flicker of doubt in her gaze and frowned slightly. “If there's something on your mind, go ahead and say it.”Her heart thudded against her ribs. She decided to test the waters. “What if... I told you I wanted to

    Tobias leaned in close, his breath brushing against Scarlett's ear as he murmured in a low, shameless voice. “Just go along with me, please. I just need to talk to Mr. Altamirano about business.”Scarlett stared at her shameless husband in disbelief. “And why would I do that for you?”Even now, he couldn't stop using her. Always needing something. Always pretending it was for both of them.Instead of backing away, Tobias moved even closer. Their bodies were almost pressed together.“Introduce me to Mr. Altamirano. Say a few things to praise me,” he whispered. “If I get the deal tonight, I'll give you whatever you ask for.”Scarlett raised an eyebrow. “Even the divorce?”Tobias's jaw tightened. He fell silent for a moment, as if he wanted to argue with her. But in the end, he nodded. “Yes. Even that.”A bitter laugh escaped Scarlett's lips. “After everything, you think I'll still believe that? You'll just find another way to string me along. In the end, you still won't let me go.”Tobi

    Darius turned, shooting Dawn a frosty look.Dawn merely scratched her head while holding back her laughter. “What? Did I cross a line? Don’t tell me there’s really nothing going on between you and Scarlett?”Darius’s voice dropped to a low chill. “Say another word, and you’ll regret it.”Dawn could no longer hold back her laughter and had to cover her mouth to keep any sound from escaping. “Alright, alright, I’ll be quiet. But now that you and Scarlett are on Alfonso’s team, you’ll probably be seeing each other often. You won’t be able to avoid her.”Darius didn’t react. Not a flicker.But Dawn’s curiosity still got the better of her, so she leaned closer. “Do you really not feel anything for her?”Darius slowly ran his finger along the rim of his wine glass, the soft clink of crystal breaking the quiet around them. After a few seconds, he removed the ring from his finger.The moment Dawn saw it, she immediately stood up and walked away.Dawn had known Darius for a long time. And when

    In his office, Tobias was surrounded by piles of documents, the faint hum of the air conditioner filling the silence. The only sounds that could be heard were the air conditioner and the quiet clicking of his pen. When he heard the door rustle open, he glanced up slightly.“Did you speak to the project lead from the de Alba Group?” Tobias asked without even looking up.“Mr. Aldama, Vernice is in the lounge,” Luna replied quietly.Tobias raised his eyes. Luna was standing by the door, clearly wanting to say something but hesitating.“Has she finished her task? Why is she in the lounge?”Luna bit her lower lip, visibly nervous. “We... ran into your wife at the café downstairs. She was a little… angry with Vernice. She also threw coffee at her.”The air in the room tightened. Tobias pushed his chair back and left without another word.In the lounge, Vernice was busy wiping the coffee from her white blouse. She still looked as though she couldn't believe what had happened. The hem of her

    Scarlett waited by the roadside, the humid air finally giving way as a light breeze brushed past, cooling her skin. Around her, the city lights reflected off the still-wet road, while the passing cars were the only sounds breaking the silence.Her heart was still pounding with a mix of emotions as what had happened earlier replayed in her mind. She still couldn't stop thinking about Darius's face, especially the way he had looked at her, as if he wanted to say something but was holding himself back.A sleek black Maybach rolled to a stop beside her, its arrival subtle yet impossible to ignore.The passenger-side window slowly rolled down, revealing Greg's face. He regarded her with calm civility, his tone as smooth as ever. “Ma'am Scarlett, would you like a ride? We're passing by your house anyway.”From the back seat, Scarlett immediately felt a sharp gaze directed at her, even with the glass between them. She didn't need to see Darius clearly to feel his presence.Scarlett forced he

    “Are you just gonna stand there?” Darius’s tone remained cold and emotionless.Scarlett stepped inside, careful not to let her nervousness show. She could smell the medicine in the room. She stopped a few feet away from the table. “I heard from Greg that you had an allergic reaction. Are you okay?”Darius gave a quiet scoff, his eyes flicking up from his papers. “So you do care about me.”Scarlett bit her lower lip. She didn’t know why her face suddenly felt hot at his question. “Of course, I do... We’re family.”He studied her, taking in that sweet face, calm expression, and perfect look of concern. But Darius knew better. Scarlett was careful with her emotions. She wore kindness like armor, soft on the outside but always calculating inside.Darius’s arm suddenly began to itch. He cursed instinctively and scratched it.“Don’t scratch it!” Scarlett quickly stopped him and hurried over.She suddenly remembered having the same allergy when she was young. Scratching it had only made it w
