The sun rose gently, announcing a new day…

A day I never imagined for myself — the day I would marry someone I did not love.

I opened the curtains and stared at my garden. My beautiful garden. I remembered cutting flowers for my parents back when things were simple and happy. My chest tightened.

How much I was going to miss this view.

A wedding.

But not the kind I dreamed of — not the type where I stood beside someone who loved me and whom I adored in return.

  • ENTANGLED MARRIAGE    CHAPTER FORTY: THE WAR BETWEEN FAMILIES

    PRESENT — HOSPITAL ROOMThe hospital room remained silent after my mother finished speaking.No one moved.No one even dared to breathe too loudly.The weight of her story hung heavily in the air like a storm cloud.I stared at Mom in confusion, trying to process everything she had said so far.None of it made sense yet.Why were the families connected?Why was Mrs. Stones so desperate for the documents?And what exactly happened years ago?Yet the pain in my mother’s eyes told me every word was true.She looked exhausted… like someone forced to relive a nightmare she had spent years trying to bury.Slowly, she lowered her gaze.“After that night at the club,” Mom continued quietly, “everything changed.”YEARS AGOA week after the murder incident, we discovered the man Katey killed was part of a powerful mafia organization.Fear consumed me immediately.That night haunted me endlessly.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw blood.I saw his body collapsing onto the restroom floor.I heard

  • ENTANGLED MARRIAGE    CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE: THE BEGINNING OF OUR DOWNFALL

For the first time in weeks, I actually felt happy.Ryan Leonard.Just thinking about him made my cheeks warm.I hurried toward our usual table where Suzan and Katey were already seated.The moment I dropped my bag dramatically onto the chair, Suzan narrowed her eyes suspiciously.“That smile on your face is dangerous,” she said.I grinned.“Girls… I have something to tell you.”Suzan leaned forward immediately. “Spill.”I tucked my hair behind my ear and tried to hide my excitement.“So… I might be getting engaged.”Suzan nearly screamed.“At seventeen?”“Not now,” I laughed quickly. “Our parents just want us to start courting first before marriage.”“What kind of billionaire arrangement

    JESSICA’S POV“Jessica, your dad has plans for you, okay?” my mother said, gently cupping my face.I frowned. “What plans exactly, Mom?”She only smiled. “Just behave yourself tonight. We have visitors.”“Who are they?”She paused for a second before answering.“Your in-laws.”I let out a short laugh. “What do you mean? I’m seventeen.”“You’ll understand later,” she replied calmly. “Just don’t create a scene tonight.”And with that, she walked out.That morning had already been strange.My mom—who barely had time for me—suddenly took me shopping. She picked out dresses herself, carefully, like she actually cared. For a moment, I thought something had changed. I thought maybe… she finally noticed me.But now I understood.It wasn’t about me.It never was.I had everything money could buy—cards that never ran out, luxury, comfort—but no real family warmth.

That class was painfully boring.”Jessica scoffed. “You weren’t even paying attention.”Suzan tried to speak but burst into laughter instead.Katey shot her a glare and raised her middle finger.“Relax,” Jessica teased. “It’s not like he even notices you.”Katey smirked. “He will. Very soon.”

  • ENTANGLED MARRIAGE    CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: IN COMA FOR DAYS

    JASON’S POVI held her hand, staring at her pale face.The steady beep of the monitor filled the silence.Three days.Three long, unbearable days—and still no improvement.I hadn’t left the hospital once.Not for food. Not for sleep.I couldn’t.Because the moment I did… something might happen.And I wouldn’t be there.My world felt completely upside down.I tightened my grip on her hand.“I’m sorry…” I whispered.Sorry for not protecting her.Sorry for failing her.My chest ached.I had been here before.Waiting.Hoping.Praying for someone I loved to wake up—Only to lose them in the end.My mother.Ella.Both gone… while I waited helplessly.“No…” I muttered under my breath. “Not again.”I couldn’t go through that again.I wouldn’t survive it.A tear slipped down my face.I brought her hand to my forehead, closing my eyes.For the first time in years—I prayed.To a God I never believed in.“Please… don’t take her.”The past few days had been nothing but chaos.The fire.The missin

Employees rushed out, voices overlapping in fear, footsteps echoing against the floors.I was still in my office.Smoke thickened around me, crawling into my lungs. I coughed violently, clutching my chest as the heat intensified.The flames had already spread.I stumbled backward, my vision blurring.No exit.No air.I was trapped.Tears streamed down my face as fear consumed me.Am I… going to die here?I gasped, struggling to breathe, my body weakening with every second.Then—The door creaked open.A figure stepped inside.I froze.“A–are you…?” My voice trembled. “Please… help me…”She didn’t respond.Her face was hidden behind a mask.And then I saw it—A knife.Fear slammed into me.I recoiled, my body shaking violently as I raised my hands in surrender.But she didn’t come toward me.Instead, she walked straight to the safe.My breath hitched.She entered the pin.The safe clicked open.Sho

    “Greg,” I repeated slowly.“Yes?” he replied.“That name sounds familiar.”“Really?”“Hm… maybe I’ve heard it somewhere. But I don’t think I’ve seen this face before, so it’s probably just a coincidence.”Greg chuckled softly. “Either way, it was nice meeting you,” he said with a charming smile.“I
