For 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.

"Thank you so much, Doctor,"
She said, her voice trembling with excitement. She quickly grabbed her report and stepped out of the office, her thoughts swirling with happiness.
Enlyan had married Damian for three years and now they finally had their first child.
Enlyan and Damian’s marriage was never built on love. It was an arrangement, a contract between two families. The idea of love or personal happiness had no place in the deal.
For Enlyan, however, the situation wasn’t for business.
She had harbored feelings for Damian long before their wedding. His charisma, intelligence, and commanding presence had drawn her in, and when their parents proposed the marriage, she agreed without hesitation. She believed that over time, her devotion and care would win his heart.
But Damian had been brutally honest with her from the start. On their wedding night, his words cut through her hopes like a blade:
“Don’t hold any illusions, Enlyan. I will never love you. This marriage is a formality, nothing more.” From that moment, he treated her as little more than a shadow in his life—a mere convenience he was obligated to tolerate.
Still, Enlyan refused to give up. She had confidence in herself, in her ability to nurture something real between them. For three long years, she poured her heart into the marriage, doing everything she could to bridge the emotional gap between them. But her efforts were met with indifference at best and outright disdain at worst. Damian remained distant, and the love she dreamed of never came.
Now, as she stood on the brink of motherhood, Enlyan held onto a fragile hope. Perhaps the child she carried would be the key to softening Damian’s heart.
Maybe, just maybe, the arrival of their baby would finally open a door to the love she had longed for.
She couldn't contain the excitement of sharing the good news with him.
As she walked down the hallway, she pulled out her phone and was about to dial the familiar number.
However, a tall, steady figure emerging from a nearby room caught her eyes first. It was her husband, Damian Blackwood. And followed him, a woman in a long red dress came out from another Gynecologist’s Office.
Who was she? Why was she here with Damian?
Their voices were low, but the hushed tones carried enough for Enlyan to catch fragments of their conversation.
“Are you sure you’re eating enough?” Damian’s deep voice carried concern.
“I am,” She replied softly. “It’s just been hard keeping anything down lately.”
“You need to take care of yourself,” Damian insisted, his tone unusually gentle. “I’ll make sure you get the best care. You and the baby are my responsibility now.”
His hand lightly brushing the woman’s arm as they walked.
Enlyan’s heart sank. Her legs felt like they might give way beneath her.
You and the baby.
The words echoed in her mind, cutting through her thoughts like a blade. She glanced again at the woman, noticing the gentle curve of her stomach—a pregnant belly.
Was this Damian’s child?
Her throat tightened, and the world around her seemed to blur. Clutching her phone with trembling hands, she dialed Damian’s number, hoping against hope that he would answer.
The phone rang once, twice—then stopped abruptly.
She looked up and saw Damian glance at his phone, his face tightening in irritation before he silenced it and slipped it back into his pocket.
"Are you not going to answer that?" the woman asked, her voice curious.
"It’s not important," Damian replied coldly, his tone dismissive.
The words felt like a slap to Enlyan. He hadn’t even bothered to acknowledge her call. Her heart shattered further as she watched him place a hand on the woman’s back, gently guiding her toward the elevator.
Tears stung her eyes as she leaned against the wall for support, her vision clouded by disbelief and pain. The man she had called her husband, the man she had sacrificed so much for, was walking away with another woman—one who appeared to be carrying his child.
Her world, once fragile but intact, began to crumble around her.
The tenderness in his gestures, the care in his demeanor—these were things Damian had never shown her in their three years of marriage.
Stumbling out of the hospital, Enlyan felt like a ghost of herself. Her thoughts spiraled as she drove home, the truth cutting deeper with every mile.
Their three years of marriage were meaningless to him—a burden forced upon him by his father. To Damian, she was nothing more than a woman who had married him for his wealth.
From the very beginning, Damian had resented her, treating her as a burden forced upon him. Enlyan had endured it all—the indifference, the coldness—because she hoped that time might soften his heart. Now, she realized how futile her hopes had been.
When Enlyan arrived home, the house was quiet, the silence pressing down on her like a weight. She hadn’t even taken off her shoes when Damian’s mother, Meye, stormed into the living room, her expression sharp and accusatory.
"Finally decided to come home, have you?" Meye’s tone was icy, her arms crossed as she surveyed her daughter-in-law. "Dinner isn’t ready. Do you even care about this household, or are you just trying to prove how useless you are?Do you expect my son to starve because of your laziness?"
Enlyan remained silent, her body and mind too exhausted to respond.
"Don’t just stand there like a statue," Meye snapped, growing more irritated by Enlyan’s lack of reaction. "This is exactly why Damian will divorce you soon. He has no use for a wife who can’t even manage a simple household."
The words pierced Enlyan, but she refused to show it. Her silence only fueled Meye’s anger.
Meye snapped, her voice rising. "You’re lucky we took you in after your family’s disgrace. And this is how you repay us? By acting like a spoiled child?"
Still, Enlyan said nothing.
Her silence only angered Meye further. She stepped closer, her voice lowering but carrying a venomous edge.
"Did you think you could keep him forever? You should know by now that his first love is back," Meye continued, a cruel smile tugging at her lips. " She’s everything you’re not—beautiful, accomplished. It’s only a matter of time before he leaves you for her. You’re nothing but a placeholder"
Enlyan’s head snapped up, her breath catching. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as she fought to keep her composure.
"That’s right," Meye said, her smile cruel. "Katrina, the love of Damian’s life. He’s been waiting for her, and now she is back. Did you really think you could compete with that?"
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 friend’s hand. "Just remember I love you must"Mini chuckled softly, the sound tinged with sadness. " I know, I love you too."But as they drove off, both girls knew some wounds couldn’t be fixed with words. And some hearts… were just trying their best to survive quietly.Elayna dropped Mini at her home and drove off, the silence in the car lingering even after she left.Mini walked slowly toward her house, her steps heavy, heart heavier.She hadn’t expected to see him today. Not like that.It had been more than a month since the night they spent together one she tried to lock away in the back of her mind, pretending it didn’t mean anything. Pretending she hadn’t been waiting for a message, a ca
They enjoyed their dinner, chatting and laughing like old times. But just as they stepped out of the restaurant, Elyana's steps slowed.Her eyes locked on a familiar figure near the entrance.“Arden?” Elyana called out, surprised.The man who had mysteriously vanished for a month turned toward the sound of his name. Standing beside him was a woman, her hand firmly wrapped around his.Mini, walking a step behind Elyana, followed her gaze. Her heart dropped when she saw Arden. And then it shattered when she noticed the woman next to him holding his hand.Arden’s eyes met Elyana’s first, a polite smile forming on his lips. But the moment his gaze shifted to Mini, that smile faltered.Mini quickly looked away, pretending to fix her eyes on anything but him. Arden noticed. His eyes flicked down to his hand, still linked with the woman’s—and without thinking, he pulled it away.He hadn’t expected to see them here. Especially not Mini.Elyana felt the shift in the air, the invisible tension
They were completely lost in each other until they heard the rapid thuds of small feet coming down the stairs.“The kids are here,” Elyana whispered, patting his chest.Daimon let out a helpless sigh and pulled back. Elyana wiped her face quickly with her palm, her breathing slightly uneven.“Mummy!” Jessica’s voice rang out. “Brother won’t let me play his game. They’re playing together but said I can’t join!”She stomped her foot on the floor, teary-eyed.“Come here, my princess,” Daimon said, lifting Jessica into his arms. “Daddy will scold them for you.”“Really?” Jessica’s face brightened as she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.“Of course.” He carried her upstairs.Elyana watched them go, her heart tugged softly.Just a few days ago, she and Daimon had told Jessica the truth—that Daimon was her and Joxan’s real father. Jessica had hesitated at first, but unlike Joxan, she hadn’t been stubborn. She’d accepted Daimon with surprising ease. And now, she clung to him like she
Daimon let out a quiet sigh, his eyes fixed on the road. “It was… good. At first, he was furious. He blamed me for not protecting you. And honestly, he had every right to. It took time for him to even look at me without that anger in his eyes.”He paused for a moment before continuing.“But slowly… he let it go. Not completely, but enough. I understood where his anger came from—because of me, he lost his daughter. I never tried to defend myself, never even asked for his forgiveness. I didn’t deserve it.”Daimon reached over, grabbing Elyana’s hand gently, his other hand still steady on the steering wheel.“I’m sorry,” he said softly. “I should’ve taken you to see him…"Elyana turned her head away, her eyes fixed on the passing streets. He was right. Everything that happened was because of him—and she would never be able to fully forgive that. But hold
They found a quiet corner near the back. Elyana didn’t want to be seen, didn’t want questions. She kept her head lowered, face hidden beneath her scarf.But her heart ached.I should’ve been there… I should’ve come back sooner…She blinked rapidly, trying to hold back the tears that burned her eyes.I never even said goodbye.She remembered his voice, rough but kind. The way he used to wait up for her when she came home late from school. The quiet pride in his eyes when she did something well. And the disappointment when he found out what happened between her and Daimon.Elyana stayed close by Daimon's side the entire time. Even at the funeral, he was the center of attention, with people constantly coming up to speak with him. But no matter who came, he never let go of her hand, holding it tightly as if shielding her from the world. Since Elyana had already been introduced to Mrs. Carter and Jason, no on
“Mummy…”The door creaked open, and Joxan stepped inside, his little voice breaking the silence.Elyana turned her head slowly. “Jo…”She tried to sit up, wincing a little as the movement pulled on her sore body. Daimon quickly moved to help her, carefully adjusting the pillows behind her back and gently guiding her to lean against them.Joxan didn’t wait, he rushed to her side and wrapped his small arms around her waist, hugging her tightly.“Mum, what happened to you?” he whispered, pulling back just enough to look up at her with worried, teary eyes.Elyana gave him a weak smile and stroked his cheek with her good hand. “Mummy is fine, baby. It’s just a small cut, nothing to worry about.”Joxan mumbled, his voice shaking. “I got scared…”Elyana’s heart broke a little at his words.“I know, sweetie. I’m so sorry I scared you,” she said softly, pulling him close again. “It was an accident. Mummy’s okay now. I promise.”Joxan didn’t answer right away. He just hugged her tighter.Daimon
