At half past one in the afternoon, the luxurious Carlton restaurant was filled with a formal atmosphere. Important clients from the southern city were already seated in the VIP room. The long table was covered with documents, laptops, and glasses of wine that glittered under the crystal chandelier.

Grayson walked in calmly, his black suit immaculate, his tie perfectly knotted. Though his eyes were red from lack of sleep, his authority remained undiminished. He shook hands with each person present.

“Mr. Blackwood, at last we can meet in person,” said one of the clients, a middle-aged man named Mr. Allen.

Grayson gave a slight nod. “It is an honor to work with your company.”

Arthur sat beside him, preparing the contract documents. The negotiation began. Though his body felt heavy, Grayson spoke firmly, each sentence clear and calculated. He explained market strategies, cooperation opportunities, and profit projections in detail.

The discussion lasted nearly two hours. Occasionally, Arth

    Night fell. The sky was dark without stars. Kimmy—now pretending to be Kimberly—sat quietly in the back seat of the taxi. Her heart was beating fast.“Just one night,” she murmured softly, trying to reassure herself. “Make it count. After this, it’s all over.”When she arrived in front of the mansion, she paid the driver and stood still for a moment before the large gate. It had been a long time since she last set foot in this place.She took a deep breath, straightened her posture, and walked in with hesitant steps. The maid who saw her immediately bowed politely.“Good evening, Mrs. Kimberly,” she greeted kindly.Kimmy replied with a small nod. “Is Gray home yet?”“Not yet, ma’am.”“All right,” Kimmy answered, her voice slightly trembling.The maids were surprised. Kimberly, who was usually arrogant and cold, suddenly appeared polite and gentle.She walked toward the bedroom on the second floor—the room that once felt warm but now made her incredibly nervous. She looked at her refle

    A few days later, Kimmy could finally breathe a little easier. Her grandmother’s condition slowly improved after a successful surgery. Although she still needed treatment, the doctor said the critical stage had passed.Kimmy sat on the edge of the bed, holding her grandmother’s weak hand.“Grandma, I promise I’ll work harder. You don’t have to worry about the hospital bills, okay?” she said softly.The old woman smiled faintly. “Don’t tire yourself out, dear. I’m fine now.”Kimmy shook her head gently. “I’m okay, Grandma. I have to start working again, so we can stay here until you fully recover.”After making sure everything was settled, Kimmy left the hospital to look for a part-time job. She had gone to several places, but none were hiring. Until finally, she heard there was an opening at a small bar downtown.That night, Kimmy arrived at the bar wearing simple clothes — black jeans and a white shirt. The bar owner, a middle-aged man, looked her up and down.“Have you ever worked i

    Episode 37That afternoon, Kimmy stood for a long time in front of the large gate of the Chandra family mansion.Her hand hesitated to press the doorbell. But when she remembered her grandmother’s pale face lying in the hospital bed, she gathered her courage.I have no other choice, she thought quietly.The doorbell rang. Moments later, the big door opened. A housemaid came out, startled to see Kimmy standing there.“Miss Kimmy?” she said softly, almost in disbelief.“Yes, it’s me. May I speak with Papa and Mama?” Kimmy asked gently.The maid looked unsure. “Please wait a moment, Miss. I’ll inform them first.”A few minutes later, Kimmy was allowed to enter.Roy, her father, sat in the living room with a stiff expression. Beside him, Kania looked down, avoiding her gaze. And not far from them sat Kimberly—her twin sister.Kimberly looked at her with a crooked smile. “Wow, I thought you’d never come back, Kimmy.”Kimmy swallowed hard. “I didn’t come to argue. I just need help. My grand

    Episode 36Seven in the morning.“Kimmy…” a weak voice came from inside the room.“Grandma!” Kimmy ran in with a worried face. The grandmother who had raised her since childhood was lying weakly on the bed. Her face was pale, her breathing ragged.“What’s wrong, Grandma?” Kimmy held the old woman’s hand — it felt cold.“It’s okay, dear… just a little stomachache.”Kimmy swallowed hard, her eyes beginning to glisten. “You’ve had this stomachache since last night, haven’t you? Why didn’t you tell me?”Grandma smiled weakly. “I didn’t want you to worry.”Kimmy immediately stood up. “I don’t want to hear that excuse, Grandma. We’re going to the hospital right now.”She helped her grandmother up, gently supporting her toward the neighbor’s car they often borrowed in emergencies. Along the way, Kimmy held her grandmother’s hand tightly. “Hang on, Grandma. We’ll be there soon.”When they arrived at the district hospital, Kimmy quickly called for a nurse. “Please! My grandmother is in pain!”

    At nine o’clock that night, Grayson’s black car finally stopped in front of the Blackwood Mansion.As soon as the door opened, Kimberly immediately greeted him at the bedroom door with a seductive smile. She was wearing a thin pink nightgown that was almost transparent. Her hair was neatly styled, her face softly made up, and her steps deliberately sweet as she approached Grayson.“Gray…” she whispered softly, wrapping her arms around him from the front. “You came home so late. I’ve been waiting for you.”Grayson only gave a faint smile. His body still felt exhausted. He returned the hug out of politeness.“I just had a meeting with the project team. It finished late,” he said quietly while patting Kimberly’s shoulder.Kimberly stared at his face for a moment. “You must be tired, right?”Grayson nodded slightly. “Yeah, a little.”Kimberly smiled, but there was something else behind her eyes. She moved closer, her fingers gently touching Grayson’s chin. “Then let me help you relax, hmm

    Grayson’s black car stopped in front of a small alley. The place looked peaceful, far from the noise of the city. The road was still made of red soil, and the houses stood modestly.Arthur, who sat in the front seat, turned to his master.“Sir, according to the information I found, Miss Kimmy Chandra lives in this village. Are you sure you want to go down alone? I can help you find Miss Kimmy.”Grayson slowly shook his head. “No need. I just want to see her from afar.”His voice sounded flat, but his eyes couldn’t hide the wave of emotions within. He leaned back in the seat, staring out the window. Not long after, he got out of the car and walked toward the small house where Kimmy lived, followed closely by Arthur.A few minutes later, he saw the figure that had been haunting his mind all this time — Kimmy.The woman was sitting on a wooden bench in front of a small light-blue house. Around her were three children, about eight years old. They were laughing together, playing with soap
