Victor stood in his doorway and watched Elara cross the road.

She hadn’t said much — handed him the bag, rattled off the morning schedule with the efficient precision of someone who had prepared it in advance, kissed Daniel on the forehead and left. No lingering. No explanation. Just the quiet click of her front door closing behind her and the distant sound of Julian’s voice somewhere inside.

He stood there for a moment longer than he needed to.

Then he closed his own door.

He reached for his p

    "Elara, are you sure you want me to go to this party?" Victor asked, a hesitant look crossing his face.Elara gave him a gentle nudge toward the hallway. "Come on, Victor! It's your last day being a single man—you have to go out and have fun with your friends. As long as it's not female friends, of course."Victor paused, a mischievous glint flashing in his eyes. With a smooth, sudden movement, he leaned in and gripped her waist, pulling her flush against his chest. Elara let out a soft gulp as she looked up into his gaze."Look at you," Victor teased quietly, his voice a low purr. "I don't even want to go to this stupid bachelor party, and you're the one forcing me to go... yet you're already getting jealous.""I am not!" Elara protested, a deep blush immediately spreading across her cheeks as she tried to push him away lightly. "I can't possibly be jealous!"Victor chuckled, leaning down to plant a quick, sweet peck right on her lips.Elara gasped, instantly throwing her hands up to

    Elara gently patted Serene’s back, her own heart heavy as the flat, rhythmic beep of the heart monitor echoed across the quiet room. The doctor lowered his head, stepping forward to gently pull the white sheet over Margaret’s face, officially announcing the time of death.The sterile room instantly erupted into quiet grief. Elara slumped back into the armchair, her mind entirely numb. Serene collapsed forward, burying her face in Elara’s lap as she sobbed uncontrollably, her shoulders shaking violently with every breath. A single tear slipped from Elara’s eye, tracing a cold path down her cheek.A sickening, hollow ache settled deep in Elara’s chest. The woman she had desperately tried to love and accept as a mother figure all those years had secretly plotted her murder. The bitter coldness, the constant insults, the emotional abuse—she could eventually understand why Margaret had never loved her. But the cold-blooded attempt on her life? That was a betrayal too dark to comprehend. Ye

    "Mother... please, wake up a little bit," Serene whispered, her voice cracking as she leaned over the edge of the medical bed. "Elara is here. She came to see you."Margaret slowly fluttered her eyelids open. The bedroom no longer felt like a home; it had been completely transformed into a sterile nursing area, filled with oxygen tanks, medical monitors, and the sharp, chemical scent of antiseptic.Elara swallowed hard, a heavy knot forming in her throat. It had been years since she last laid eyes on this woman, and the transformation was harrowing. Margaret looked barely human—thin as a ghost, with deeply sunken, swollen eyes and skin that had turned a pale, sickly yellow. The disease had stripped away every ounce of the fierce, bitter arrogance she used to wear like armor."Elara... my child..." Margaret wheezed, her voice raspy and frail. "Are you really here to see me?"Slowly, almost hesitantly, Elara stepped closer to the bedside. She pulled up a chair and sat down, her voice tr

    The early morning sun filtered softly through the bedroom window, painting warm stripes across the floorboards. Elara was the first to wake up, stretching her arms quietly as she slipped out of bed. Walking down the hall to check on the boys, a soft, affectionate smile crossed her face.Victor hadn't slept in the guest room at all. Instead, he had climbed into Daniel’s bed sometime during the night, curled up right beside their son. Incredibly, both father and son were fast asleep in the exact same mirrored position, arms and legs tangled together.Elara sighed, looking at them with deep admiration. But then, a wave of reality struck her. Today was a public holiday. If either of them woke up and saw her lingering around the house, they would immediately beg her to stay behind and spend the day with them. And as much as her heart wanted that, she had a mountain of unfinished paperwork waiting for her at the office.*If I sneak out now, I can get it done quickly,* she thought, turning o

    When Elara and Serene finally approached the PlayStation kiosk, the lighthearted atmosphere shifted in an instant. The moment Victor spotted Serene standing beside Elara, his jaw tightened, and his posture stiffened into immediate defense. Behind him, Daniel instinctively scrambled backward, ducking his small frame completely behind Victor's legs, his hands tightly gripping the fabric of Victor's jacket.Serene’s eyes dropped to the floor, a flicker of deep regret and old shame washing over her features.Elara immediately stepped forward, her voice soft and reassuring. "Baby, don't worry. She means no harm at all. Come on, come out and greet her."Daniel shrank further back, shaking his head frantically against Victor’s side.Before Elara could push any further, Victor gently placed a hand over hers, his voice quiet but firm. "Elara, he’s not comfortable. Let’s not force it, okay?"Elara nodded slowly, understanding the lasting fear still lingering in her son's young mind.Serene offe

    By the time they finally stepped out of the bridal shop, all three of them were completely exhausted. Victor had originally tried to get out of trying on his own suit, arguing that he could just be measured and go, but Elara firmly insisted. She made both him and Daniel try on several different styles until they found the absolute right match, taking plenty of fun pictures along the way to document the chaos.Because it had been such a long, draining day, Elara suddenly realized she needed a quick break."I'll be right back, please wait here for me," Elara said, turning to her two boys. "Victor, take him to get a small ice cream over there by the kiosk while I run to the restroom."Daniel’s eyes lit up. "Ice cream? But Mom, you always said I shouldn't take too much—"Elara crossed her arms, raising a knowing eyebrow. "Well, well... just so you know, I am fully aware that your dad has been secretly buying it for you behind my back, thinking I wouldn't find out. So go ahead, continue! A
