I stared at the ceiling. Not to weigh everything Hugo had offered, but to savor the quiet satisfaction of knowing that everything was going exactly as I had planned.

Saint-Roch was merely a stepping stone to strengthen my name. A statement to the world that even without the Cassilas name, I could rise and stand shoulder to shoulder with them. After that, I planned to settle into the role of Mrs. Cassilas completely—to continue everything I had carefully arranged.

A knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts. When I opened it, my husband stood there hugging a pillow, smiling at me.

“I think sleeping in separate rooms was a terrible idea,” he said, walking in without waiting for permission.

“Are you out of your mind?” I grabbed the collar of his pajamas. Hugo turned around and kissed my hand.

“You should only worry if your husband ever stops being a little crazy.”

He brushed a kiss against my lips. I scoffed and crossed my arms.

“This is our mansion. There's no one else here. And t

    I stirred my tea, now lukewarm. I wasn’t even sure since when. My gaze was blank. Hugo’s words echoed in my mind.Was that how it should be? To stop resisting the feelings that arise, to simply accept and savor them?Wouldn’t that mean allowing myself to become weak? Accepting these feelings meant letting myself drown in a lullaby I couldn’t control. I didn’t know whether I’d resurface, or be pulled deeper and deeper.“Were you planning to drink the tea?” Hugo’s voice cut through my reverie.“Yes,” I replied, sipping the cold tea without even glancing at him. The man was still strutting around this apartment with nothing but tight boxers, as if his confidence had no boundaries. Even though it was just the two of us here, he could at least feel a hint of modesty. Just the tip of a fingernail.“In romantic dramas, the husband usually takes care of his sick wife. And then he gets a hug, a kiss, and…”“And?” I raised a brow, finally looking at him. Well played. He always knew how to get m

    The towel I was wearing fell to my feet."You!"I shrieked in frustration. But he only pressed our bodies closer."Hugo, are you going to break your promise?" I snapped and struggled to free myself."I only promised not to touch you with my hands. I said nothing about hugging you or seeing what is rightfully mine," he whispered, then left another love mark on the other side of my neck.Damn it. He really didn’t touch me with his hands, but with his lips, and that alone was enough to drive me mad."Hugo..." I moaned, breathless. My heart begged to be released, but all I could do was whisper his name in a broken sigh.He smiled, then finally let go. The look in his eyes, filled with admiration, made me want to gouge them out."Bastard," I growled and shoved him away. I quickly picked up the towel at my feet and wrapped it back around my body."I like it when you call me like that, Honey."I kept cursing as he walked to the bathroom, his face glowing with satisfaction and that damn smile

    The night sky darkened more deeply than usual, as if it, too, absorbed the weight of our unfinished conversation. I leaned against the balcony wall, allowing my body a moment of pause after a battle of words sharper than any blade. Hugo was still standing nearby, but neither of us made an effort to bridge the frozen space between us."You will never be able to defend my wounds, Hugo," I murmured, my voice nearly lost to the wind."I can, Ana. The sincerity of love can do anything."I shook my head and turned my gaze away, staring out at the endless flicker of the city that never sleeps. My eyes were distant."I never wanted to be the wife of a man I have to doubt every time he gives me something," I whispered softly. "Because in our world, nothing is truly free. Not even love."Hugo said nothing. He just looked at me with an expression I couldn’t quite interpret. Was it sympathy, or resignation?"And I don't want to be a man whose love you see as a strategy," he finally said. "But if

    I stared at the dim ceiling. Trying to steady my breath, wrapping the anxiety with a blanket, but failed. The word heir still echoed like a whisper behind the bedroom wall. Hugo didn’t force me, but as I’ve known from the beginning, he never needed to. The world was already narrow enough to make choices look like destiny.I reached for my phone. Dozens of unopened messages. Some from the media, some from the Saint-Roch team, and a few from Nicky, who had sent voice notes, furious as she mentioned a technician dismantling the air duct without permission.Funny. The world kept spinning as if I wasn’t being strangled by a biological contract I never signed. And yet here I was, living it with full awareness, driven by a purpose that now seemed to be going nowhere. Yes, because I still hadn’t truly surrendered myself.And that was the question that kept circling in my head. But readiness never came. Even when I was the one who chose to beat the war drum, my heart should’ve been ready for e

    "I’ll be even more nagging after this," he said with a wide smile as he opened the door. I said nothing. I simply hid my face in the curve of his neck.Maybe I was a little crazy. But this was my attempt to distract myself from the fear of the past. And I think it worked.Hugo laid me down gently, as if my body were a fragile piece of porcelain."I’ll bring you some dinner," he said softly.I nodded, though I wasn’t sure if he noticed, as he had already stepped away. My breathing was steady, but my feelings were not. There was always a strange pause in moments like this. When my body lies down, my mind stands up. Alert. Ready to dissect every gesture, every word, even the scent of Hugo’s skin that brushed against my cheek earlier.His footsteps moved away in silence, typical of a man who had lived too long in power and luxury.I stared at the ceiling. The soft traces of the chandelier’s light formed silhouettes like symbols of fate dancing beyond my comprehension. I wanted to get up,

    The sky above Saint-Roch resembled an unfinished painting. The clouds hung listlessly, as though unsure whether to bring rain or simply stir unrest. I stood on the central plaza, gazing at the steel and glass structure that had always made my eyes sparkle. For months, I had prepared this place to be my stage, my source of pride, and my ultimate weapon to silence the past with triumph.Now? I only wanted to finish this chapter with a dramatic ending. I had no desire to rush it. I had once tried to abbreviate a scenario, only to find myself ensnared in the very plot I had written. Hugo had not crumbled as planned. Instead, he had only risen higher. And I was left to swallow my recklessness, having lit a fire too large to contain."Are you sure you don’t want to go up and check the control room yourself?" Nicky asked beside me. She wore a semi-formal suit, tablet in hand, and her hair tied half-up as always. It was her signature look, making her resemble the lead character in a medical d
