Alina stepped out of the car, said goodbye to Jesse, and turned toward Lorraine's apartment only to see a familiar car parked beside the building. Her jaw tightened.

She adjusted the strap of her bag and started walking toward the door, deliberately ignoring the figure leaning against the car. But before she could reach it, a firm hand grabbed her wrist and yanked her back.

She whirled around, eyes blazing.

"What’s your problem, Kelvin?" she snapped, snatching her hand away like it burned.

Kelvin’s jaw clenched. "Are you really going to act like this? If I walk away today, it’s over...for real."

Alina furrowed her brows, genuinely surprised. "Over for real?" she repeated, as if he’d just suggested the sky was green. "Kelvin, who said it wasn’t already over?"

"I know you're only pretending to date Aiden to make me jealous. I could treat you like hell. Push you away. Pretend you don’t exist. Hurt you, even when you least deserve it. And still, you’d love me. You love me so deeply it sca

    After Aiden finally cleared things with Gavin, just before he left, they’d apologized to each other and the tension between them reduced. It wasn’t completely gone, but at least they hadn’t parted on a bad note. Now, with that matter set aside, Aiden and Alina chose to spend more time at the Blackwood mansion while preparing for their upcoming wedding.That evening, the sitting room was lively. Everyone was together, talking, laughing, and chatting all at once.Everyone was there...except Mandy.Upstairs in her room, Mandy sat in front of her mirror. Her reflection stared back at her, and she tilted her head, studying herself for a while. After a moment, she gave a small determined nod."I’ll just go there, see whatever they want to do, then leave," she whispered under her breath. Standing up, she picked up her bag and headed out of the room.Just as she stepped into the hallway, her mother’s voice stopped her."Where are you going?"Mandy glanced back casually. "I’m meeting with som

    Aiden sat frozen in his chair, his jaw tight, his fists slightly balled on the desk. His chest rose and fell softly as Gavin’s figure moved farther away. He wanted to call Gavin back. The urge was strong, lingering in the back of his throat, but he forced it down. His pride, his anger all of it held him in place.So he let Gavin go.When the door clicked shut, Aiden leaned forward on his desk, one hand pressed against his forehead, the other still clenched on his desk. The rubbed his temple softly, the weight of Gavin’s words pressing on him more.When he finally stood up and stepped into his private room, his eyes immediately fell on Jesse lying on the wide bed. Jesse’s eyes were closed, his arm resting lazily on his forehead as though he had been drained of every last ounce of energy. For a moment, Aiden simply stood there, watching him.He let out a long sigh. Quietly, he walked closer and pulled the blanket higher to cover Jesse properly. Standing over him, Aiden released another

    The silence in the office stretched on after Aiden’s sharp words. Gavin sat there, his hands clenching and unclenching on his knees, as if he was fighting with himself inside. Finally, he raised his eyes to meet Aiden’s.“ You know what? Fuck you.” He muttered. "I know I’ve made mistakes. I know I’ve said things and even done things I shouldn’t have… and maybe I even tried to test Alina in few occasions during my time here. But don’t ever think I conspired with Michelle to drug her. Whatever Michelle did, it wasn’t because I agreed to it or advice her into it."Aiden didn’t answer. His eyes remained cold, but his silence pushed Gavin to continue."I can’t compete with you, Aiden," Gavin said, his tone tired "Not with anything at all. While every other grandchild of the Blackwoods was out there wasting time, their lives chasing popularity for being a Blackwood, you were already building your empire at seventeen. At that age, I was still figuring out who I was. But you… you were alread

    When Alina stepped into the creative department, she didn’t expect much; just another normal start to the day, but the moment she pushed the door open, every single person inside stood at once, including Charlotte. Their voices rang out in unison, startling her."Good morning, Mrs. Blackwood!"The greeting was so loud and sudden that Alina froze for a moment, her eyes widening in surprise. She hadn’t expected them to acknowledge her that way, and the formality of it all startled the hell out of her.One of the employees who had once spoken to her harshly quickly walked up to her, bowing slightly. "I’m sorry if I ever spoke to you rudely in the past."Alina blinked, her gaze moving around the room, meeting their eyes one after the other. Their faces were full of respect, some even nervous."Listen, everyone..." she said gently. "I’m still Alina. There’s no need to be scared of me. Let’s just keep working together as we did before, alright?"They all muttered a quiet, "Yes, ma’am," in r

    The next morning, Aiden personally drove Alina to the house. Jesse had already gone ahead to the office, leaving them to handle things on their own.When they stepped inside, Grandma Linda was already waiting. The moment her eyes landed on Alina, her face softened with joy, and she spread her arms."My dear child, you’re here," she said warmly, pulling Alina into a gentle hug.Alina smiled broadly, “Good morning, Grandma."Grandma Linda glanced between them, her smile playful. "So… tell me, were you both planning things behind my back? Doing preparations without me? Isn’t that wrong?” She turned to Aiden with a playful seriousness.Aiden sighed softly, rubbing his temple. "Grandma, that’s why we came. Yesterday was so hectic, I don’t even want to talk about it… but now that things are clearer, we’ve decided to make it official." His voice dropped a little as if he was whispering. "We’re going to get married properly."Grandma’s eyes brightened. She clapped her hands together once. "Go

    At home, Aiden stayed by Alina’s side the entire day. He helped her bathe, gently dressed her afterward, and even went to the kitchen to cook. When the food was ready, he fed her himself, making sure she ate properly.Instead of going to work, he chose to remain at home, sitting on the couch with her and trying to style her hair. He kept her company, telling her little stories and making casual conversation. Every now and then, Alina would chuckle softly, grateful for his presence.This warm routine continued peacefully until the evening.Just as promised, Lorraine came by to visit. She waved at Aiden before settling onto the couch across from him."I’ll give you two some space," Aiden said, glancing at Alina. She nodded, so he stood and walked away, giving them privacy.Lorraine moved closer to Alina, her smile fading ."You know I hate hiding behind fake smiles.""Then stop pretending and just scold me already," Alina muttered with a tiny pout.Lorraine sighed but couldn’t help pulli
