Eva returned to the Castellan estate later that evening, but she did not go straight upstairs. She parked her car in front of the house and remained behind the wheel for several minutes, staring through the windshield at the familiar entrance.

Her mind was a chaotic battleground, torn between Julian’s monstrous confession and the desperate, forbidden kiss she had shared with Christian. She didn't know which one made her blood run colder—the fact that her husband had bought her life, or the fact

  • Forced to Wear My Sister's Wedding Dress   Baby

    Julian froze instantly. His hand stopped dead on his collar button, his back stiffening as the words echoed in the quiet bedroom. The silence stretched for several agonizing seconds before he slowly turned around to face her."Pregnant?" Julian asked. His voice was a low whisper, completely stripped of the coldness that had been there for weeks.Eva looked up at him, her vision blurring as tears welled in her eyes. "Yes," she replied, her voice trembling. "Two months."For a long moment, he didn't move at all. He just stood there staring at her, as if the word hadn't fully landed yet. Then something broke loose behind his eyes, and he crossed the room in three fast strides."Come here, baby," he said softly.He pulled her tightly against his chest, throwing his arms around her waist. He held her so close it felt like he was trying to shield her from the entire world.Eva buried her face in his shoulder, her chest heaving as she finally let out the tears she had been holding back all d

    Eva woke up first. The weak morning light was just beginning to filter through the curtains. She didn't move. Her right hand was still trapped in Julian’s firm, warm grip beneath the blanket. For a single, fleeting second, a wave of hope surged through her chest.Then Julian stirred.He opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling for a moment before he realized where he was. Slowly, deliberately, he let go of her hand. He sat up, swinging his legs out of bed and rubbing his face in the quiet room."Morning," she said carefully."Morning."Neither of them said anything for a moment. Eva finally shifted, pulling the covers to her chest. "Can we talk? About—""Not now, Eva," Julian cut her off flatly. He stood up and headed to the bathroom, his back completely turned to her. "I have to address the emergency board session today to clean up this mess. We'll talk later.""I'd rather you weren't there for it," he added.He turned around to look at her. "You are staying home today. You are in no

  • Forced to Wear My Sister's Wedding Dress   A Cold Bed

    Eva stood frozen in the quiet office lobby. Her shoulders shook slightly under the weight of Julian's oversized suit jacket. She could feel the lingering stare of the front desk receptionist, and her cheeks burned with pure embarrassment.A quiet step sounded beside her. She looked up to see Leo approaching with a calm, neutral expression."Mrs. Castellan," Leo said quietly, keeping his voice low. "The Chairman asked me to walk you down to your office."Eva nodded, unable to trust her own voice, and let Leo lead her through the floor.As they walked down the hallway toward the investment wing, she could hear the quiet rustle of papers instantly stopping. Employees leaned over their cubicles, whispering to one another as she passed. She kept her head down, staring straight at the carpet until she reached her door.The moment she stepped inside, Leo closed the door behind her to give her privacy. Left completely alone, she sank into her desk chair. She buried her face in her hands and b

    Mr. Hart set his coffee cup down hard enough to rattle the saucer."Sophie," his voice was flat. "Come look at this."Sophie leaned over his shoulder, and her mother crowded in from the other side. The newspaper photograph showed Eva and Christian standing close together at a restaurant. The picture was blurry, but the angle made them look very intimate.MRS. CASTELLAN’S MARRIAGE IN TURMOIL AFTER ALLEGED KISS WITH VANCE GLOBAL EXECUTIVE"Well," Sophie said, sliding back into her chair with a small, satisfied smile. "I guess the perfect daughter isn't so perfect after all.""Sophie," her mother warned.“What?” Sophie shrugged, her smile fading slightly. “I'm not the one who kissed another man while married.”Mrs. Hart folded the paper shut, her jaw tight. "This family has had enough scandal for one lifetime.""Speaking of scandal," Sophie said, setting down her fork. "I'm moving out. I found an apartment downtown. I will be fully settled by the weekend."Her mother's face lit up with s

    The boardroom had never been a particularly warm place, but that morning, the atmosphere felt colder than usual.The long table was already packed when Victor slowly rose from his seat. He did not speak immediately. He looked around the room first, letting the chatter die down on its own before placing both hands flat against the dark wood."I want to raise a serious concern," Victor said, "about the pattern of instability under our current chairman."A quiet murmur immediately moved down the table."In the last few months, we have had a public scandal involving the chairman's wife and a senior executive from Vance Global," Victor continued. "We had a public confession that the chairman orchestrated his own marriage through deception. And now, questions are being raised about whether his personal circumstances are beginning to affect the company."The room became noticeably quieter.Victor's gaze moved slowly across the directors. “I am not questioning Julian’s competence with numbers

    The television was playing quietly in the Castellan sitting room that evening. The volume was low enough to blend into the background while the people around it went about their own business.“In business news tonight, Castellan Group and Vance Global are expected to finalize a major logistics partnership following weeks of negotiations. Sources close to both companies describe the agreement as one of the larger cross-industry partnerships currently being discussed…”Grandmother Isabella barely looked up from the needlework resting in her lap. Clara sat on the opposite sofa with a cup of tea beside her, scrolling through her phone while Mrs. Harris arranged a few magazines on the coffee table.The anchor continued talking about the partnership, mentioning the possible expansion of Castellan Group's operations into new markets. Nobody paid much attention. It was simply another evening in the estate, with the television filling the silence as naturally as it always had.---Upstairs, Ev
