The morning was still dark when Kimmy opened her eyes. The light from her phone screen stung her eyes as a new message appeared. She instinctively lifted her head from Grayson’s chest, where he was still sleeping soundly.

Kimmy, it’s time to switch roles. Get out quickly before he wakes up.

The message was clearly from Kimberly.

Kimmy let out a quiet sigh. She looked at Grayson’s face, peaceful in sleep. A slight pang of guilt pierced deeper, but she knew she had to leave before everything was exposed.

Slowly, she slipped out of Grayson’s arms. The man murmured in his sleep, making Kimmy pause for a moment. She looked at him briefly and whispered very softly, “I’m sorry, Gray…”

She rose from the bed, put on a thin cardigan to cover the pastel nightdress, then opened the bedroom door very carefully. The house was still dark and silent. The servants had not started their activities yet.

With light but tense steps, Kimmy went down the stairs. She made sure no one saw her as she exited th

    The morning grew brighter. Sunlight filtered through the thin curtains of the room, making the atmosphere feel warmer. Kimberly—who had just taken over Kimmy’s place—was still lying down, smiling sweetly at Grayson.Grayson moved closer slowly, then leaned down to kiss her lips as he usually did. But the moment their lips touched, Grayson suddenly froze. The kiss lasted only a second before he pulled away.His brows lifted slightly. Something felt off.Kimberly noticed it.“Why did you stop?” she asked with a smile, trying to look innocent.Grayson didn’t answer right away. He stared at Kimberly’s face for a few seconds, as if searching for something he couldn’t explain.“Is something wrong?” Kimberly repeated her question.Grayson shook his head quickly. “No… it’s nothing.”Kimberly frowned. “If it’s nothing, then why are you so quiet?”“I just…” Grayson looked away for a moment, then exhaled. “Maybe I’m still sleepy.”His voice was flat, clearly unconvincing.Kimberly felt a flicker

    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!”
