로그인For three years of marriage, she had been nothing more than a shadow in his life. To him, she was invisible, a convenience he sought only when it suited him. He gave her no love, no affection—only physical on his terms when other women failed to satisfy him. When Enlyan discovered her pregnancy, she was overjoyed, hoping it might bring them closer. But her happiness shattered when she found him at the hospital with his lover for a maternity checkup. She finally asked for a divorce and vanished. Heartbroken and distracted, she met with tragedy—an accident that almost claimed her unborn child. Five years later, Enlyan returns with her twins. "They are my children!" Damian's voice thundered, his eyes blazing with fury. "You dared to hide them from me all this time? I’m taking them away from you. They belong with me." Damian Blackwood growled, his intention turning cruel. And She was powerless against his anger.

She didn’t trust herself to speak, so she stayed still, watching him.Arden took a slow breath, shoving his hands into his coat pockets as he stood a few feet away from her. “The day you left,” he began, voice quieter now, “I was late because I went to end the engagement properly. Face to face. I thought I could do it quickly, but her parents…my parents, they made a scene. Threatened my company. I had to deal with all of it first. I didn’t want to show up to you half-finished.”Mini blinked. “Half-finished?”“I didn’t want to stand in front of you and say I might be free,” he said. “I wanted to be able to say I am. That I was ready to give everything to you.”Mini looked away. The ache in her chest bloomed again, sharp and familiar.“I emailed you,” he said. “Tried texting. Called. But everything bounced back. You cu
Mini shook her head slowly. “It’s too sudden, Arden,” she said, her voice quiet but steady. “People don’t change overnight. Not like this.”“It’s not overnight,” Arden said urgently. “It’s been building, I just—”She cut him off gently. “You’ve slept with women before me. This wasn’t special to you… not until I started pulling away.” Her lips trembled. “I don’t want to be another story for you. Another woman you remember only when she’s gone.”“That’s not what this is.”Mini’s eyes welled, but she stood firm. “But that’s what it feels like.”She took a shaky breath and stepped back. “I’m sorry, Arden. I can’t do this. I can’t afford to hope, and then watch it die. If that happens again, I won’t be able to put myself back together.”Ar
"Leave it," Mini said quickly, forcing a smile and changing the subject. "You’ll come to visit me, right? I’ll be alone there... new country, new people, everything’s new. I already began to miss you.”Elayna looked at her, heart twisting. “Mini…”“I’m serious,” Mini said, her voice trembling just slightly.Elayna chuckled softly and blinked back tears. “You act like you’re going off to war, not just moving abroad.”“Same thing,” Mini whispered. “New place, uncertain outcomes… and leaving everything familiar behind.”Elayna pulled the car into park and turned to her. “Of course I’ll visit you. I’ll come as many times as you want. And you’ll be fine, Mini. You always land on your feet.”Mini smiled faintly, but it didn’t reach her eyes.“And what if I don’t?” she whispered.Elayna reached across the console and wrapped her arms around her. “Then I’ll fly to you, drag you out of bed, and remind you who the hell you are. You’re Mini. My stubborn, fierce, smart-as-hell Mini. You’ve got th
Arden took a shaky breath, stepping back just enough to let Mini breathe. “You think this is easy for me?” he asked, his voice raw. “I didn’t plan any of this. I didn’t expect to feel this way.”Mini crossed her arms, hugging herself tightly, trying to keep her voice steady. “You don’t get to play the victim here, Arden.”“I’m not,” he said softly. “But I can’t pretend I don’t feel anything either. You think I don’t hate myself for being confused? For hurting you, confusing you? I know I don’t deserve another chance—but I still want one.”Mini looked away, her heart pounding painfully. “You’re engaged. You brought another woman into the picture the moment you found out Elayna was married. You think that doesn’t make me question everything?”“I didn’t love her,” Arden said without hesitation. “I was trying to move on from something that never even started. And yes, maybe I was trying to prove something—to myself. But when it comes to you… it’s different.”Mini’s eyes filled with tears
Elayna lay back as Daimon hovered over her, brushing strands of hair from her face. His hand cupped her cheek, thumb gently stroking the edge of her jaw.“Say it,” he whispered.Elayna’s eyes locked with his, filled with hesitation… but also truth. “I missed you too.”That was all he needed.He lea
Elayna let out a frustrated breath and pushed his hands away. “Don’t talk nonsense. I just ran into him last night and I was surprised to see him with his fiancée, that’s all.”"Alright, I'm sorry," Daimon said softly as he pulled her into a gentle hug.
“What was that?” Daimon asked, glancing at her as the car rolled through the quiet street, the hum of the engine filling the space between them. His voice was calm, but laced with suspicion.“Nothing,” Elayna replied a little too quickly, eyes still fixed on the window before turning to look at him
Mini gave a small nod, forcing a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. "I know, Ely. And I’m really grateful. But I promise, I’m okay."Elayna didn’t believe her not entirely but she also knew Mini. If she pushed too hard, Mini would shut down completely.So she reached over and squeezed her frie
