Emma stood at the heavy front door, her fingers frozen on the doorbell. She had rung it several times, but no one came. Panic started creeping in. She checked her phone to call Mrs Norris—completely dead.

She knocked again, harder this time. Still nothing.

Frustrated, cold, and exhausted, she stepped back and looked up at the silent windows of the villa. No lights. No shadows. Just silence. She clenched her hands, her heart pounding with uncertainty. Was this intentional?

Inside the Villa — The Living Room

Grayson descended the stairs slowly, each step deliberate. His face was calm, but the tension in his jaw betrayed the storm underneath. The entire household staff stood in the living room, their heads bowed, not daring to look him in the eye.

He moved past them and sat on the edge of the sofa. The air was thick with fear.

“How long has she been leaving the villa to go out and work?” he asked coldly.

Silence.

He looked up sharply. “I’m asking a question. Or do I not deserve an

  • For Her Heart Again    Grandpa Miller—A Quiet Visit

    ---At the Miller's old estate, the afternoon sun filtered through the wide windows of the living room where Old Master Miller sat reading the newspaper. The scent of aged wood and polished leather filled the room. He looked up as a servant entered, bowing respectfully."Old Master, Mrs. Norris is here to see you."He raised a brow, folding his paper slowly. “Mrs. Norris? I thought she wasn’t due until the weekend. Send her in.”Moments later, Mrs. Norris walked in with a heavy heart and tense expression. She bowed slightly.“Old Master.”Old Master Miller gave a half-smile. “Mmm… Why are you here today? I thought you weren’t going to come over till the weekend. Or have you finally gotten tired of playing nanny to your baby Grayson?” he teased gently, trying to lift her mood.But when she didn’t smile as usual, he set the paper aside and leaned forward.“What happened?” he asked, his voice lower. “Is it about Emma?”Mrs. Norris nodded. “Yes. Grayson made her sleep outside the Villa fo

  • For Her Heart Again    Quiet Thoughts

    ---Gasps erupted from the hallway.Footsteps thundered closer, echoing against the marble as Mrs. Norris rounded the corner and halted, her breath catching at the sight before her. “Dear heavens…” she whispered, rushing to Emma’s side. “Emma!”Her hands gently touched the girl’s clammy forehead, then her wrist. The faint flutter of a pulse brought little comfort.“Someone fetch the doctor—now!” she shouted, not caring who heard.Grayson appeared at the top of the stairs, drawn by the noise. His eyes found Emma instantly, her motionless body curled awkwardly against the steps.His stomach clenched.For a moment, no one moved. The world seemed to still.Mrs. Norris looked up at him, her face taut with fury and disbelief. “Are you proud of this?” she asked, voice low but sharp.Grayson said nothing.He descended one step, then another, each footfall heavier than the last.But Emma didn’t stir.She just lay there—broken, silent, and fadingGrayson’s gaze darkened as he stepped forward,

  • For Her Heart Again    Longing and Powerless

    ---The next morning, Emma stirred awake on the cold, hard lounge chair wrapped in the thin blanket Mrs. Norris had given her. Her limbs were stiff, her head pounding. As her eyes fluttered open, she was greeted by Leah's smug face leaning slightly above her. Leah just came back from Country M yesterday and had rushed to the Manor early this morning after the servant—her informant told her what happened in the manor yesterday."Emma, what are you doing outside with a blanket this early?" Leah asked, feigning surprise, but the glint in her eyes betrayed her amusement. There was no concern in her voice—just gloating satisfaction.Emma said nothing. Her mind was foggy and her skin unusually flushed. The chill of the night had taken its toll. She forced herself upright, moving sluggishly toward the now-unlocked door. Leah followed closely behind, her heels clicking on the marble floor.As Emma stepped inside, a servant hurried over and said with a slight bow, “Emma, the Young Master reque

  • For Her Heart Again    Calm Before The Storm

    ---Dexter's Apartment – NightDexter stepped into his dimly lit apartment and quietly shut the door behind him. He rested his back against it, exhaling deeply, his face shadowed with emotion. The image of Emma’s face—her wide, wary eyes, the way she instinctively recoiled from his nearness—flashed through his mind. A heaviness settled in his chest.He stood still for a long moment, as if frozen by regret, before pushing himself off the door and walking slowly to his room.Inside, everything was neat, almost untouched. He made his way to the wooden cabinet in the corner, knelt down, and pulled out a small metal box from the bottom drawer. His fingers trembled slightly as he opened it. Inside was a single photo, slightly worn at the edges.In the picture stood a much younger Grayson, expression blank and arms loosely crossed. Next to her, Emma beamed brightly, her arm around the late Whitney Miller, who smiled with soft eyes. Dexter stood beside Emma, slightly apart, but his gaze in th

  • For Her Heart Again    Itinerary

    ---Country C – The CaféThe soft hum of chatter filled the cozy café as Emma worked behind the counter. Dressed in a simple blouse and apron, her movements were quick and practiced. Though her hands moved with ease, her eyes frequently flicked toward the large windows. Something felt… off.Outside, Vin sat at a street-facing table, a cup of untouched coffee in front of him. He had a newspaper in hand but his eyes never left Emma. Subtle, discreet—just as Grayson instructed.Across the street, leaning against a lamppost with sunglasses and a phone in hand, stood Nora. She casually snapped a photo and zoomed in. Nora was Leah’s eyes in Country C. She already noticed the man across the street wasn’t just a bystander. “Noted,” she muttered to herself.Inside, Emma stepped out to deliver an order when she bumped into someone.“Sorry—!” she began.“Emma?” the man interrupted.She looked up. “Dexter?”He smiled gently. “It’s really you. I didn’t think I’d run into you here.”Vin’s gaze shar
