LOGINReina Eliara Sollivierre is the heir to a powerful corporate dynasty, trapped by expectations and a future she never chose. One reckless night, she gives in to freedom and to Vesper Saelas Luxmooré, a dangerous stranger she never expects to see again. Days later, Reina discovers Saelas is her new private tutor. Forced into close proximity, their forbidden attraction spirals into obsession until she learns he is already engaged. Betrayed, Reina cuts him off and accepts a new tutor, Gavin Edmund Luxmooré, a gentle and steady presence who becomes her refuge and quietly falls in love with her. What Reina does not know is that Gavin is Saelas’s estranged brother. When Saelas discovers he has been replaced, he publicly announces Reina as his fiancée and reveals himself as the heir to the Luxmooré empire. Heartbroken, Gavin lets Reina go and leaves the country after lying about his feelings to set her free. Years later, he returns for the wedding of the woman they both loved. And with his return, buried truths and unresolved emotions resurface, revealing the true cost of love, freedom, and sacrifice.

I echoed, tilting my head.I let go of his shirt and crossed my arms. I shoot him a sharp look.“What do you want?” I asked.“You just walked out and did not open the door. I think I’m the one who should ask you.”“You told me to do as I please. And I am pleased to sleep very well.”“Can you stop being sarcastic or be serious at least?”I rolled my eyes. "Then stop disturbing my sleep and go to your own room.”“How can I sleep if I know there is something that you’re not telling me?’“How can you say so?”“I just feel it.”“Look, if you did nothing wrong or you know that there is nothing, why would you be bothered by my reactions? maybe you did something, right?”“Ugh! he exclaimed, exhausted. “If there’s something I joked about that affects you, you shouldn’t have taken that seriously, okay? It’s not something a g
“Hey, wait for me!” I ran after him.He stood before the door and looked at his phone once more. That drives me crazy and even more curious. Irritated and confused, I went to him and asked, “What are you up to, now? Can you just tell me what exactly is going on?”He raised his index finger to cover my mouth. "There's someone at the front door earlier.”My brows stitched together. "What do you mean there is someone out there? That’s impossible, okay?" I demanded, my chest pounding so fast I didn’t even know why."What do you mean it’s impossible? There is someone out there earlier and I don’t know who, okay? Maybe it’s just your friend… or your family’s colleagues," Saelas said."Friends? I don’t have friends. And I don't want one." I crossed my arms."A colleague, then?"I shot him a sharp look. "It’s not like this is your first day on earth, professor. Can’t you see the house is surrounded by guards? No one can just walk in here.""Then who’s that?""I’m asking the same question," I
"Good morning." Saelas's voice was the first thing I heard when my eyes snapped open. I blinked up at him, his soft blur of a body coming into focus. He was leaning against the bed. There is a plate of food in his hand while wearing his teasing smile curled around his lips. "Wait… good morning? Did I oversleep?" I questioned, sitting up in bed. He smiled, putting the plate on the bedside table. "Can't blame you. You were too tired." His voice was tainted with mock teasing. That's when I remembered about my parents. I sprang up from bed. "Did they come already?" Instead of answering, he just chuckles. "What? They saw you? Did you tell them?" I asked one question after another. Saelas shook his head. "Not yet. They said they'll be out for a week. Have you forgotten?" His brows furrow in confusion. "A week?!" I exclaimed, raising my voice. He looked truly puzzled. "They didn't tell you?" "Tell me? Tell me what exactly?" I growled, scratching my head in annoyance. "They said t
“W-What are you doing?” I breathed.My throat went dry the moment his hand touched my face. I can feel the warmth of his touch and the heat that I crave coming from his presence.I tried to hold it together. “S-stop,” I whispered, but he didn’t move away.I wasn’t trapped by his body pressing me down. I was trapped by the space between us—the heavy tension pulling us closer, inch by inch, like even the air refused to let me breathe.Why is this feeling? It’s just a simple touch. But the effect it had on me is crazy.I wanted to disappear right now because I know I look like a red tomato at this moment.“I thought you knew what you were doing,” he muttered. His voice slowed, almost teasing.What was his problem?“G-get off me,” I said. The words came out weak and unsure, like my mouth and my mind weren’t on the same side.My hands rested against his chest, fingers gripping his shirt. I don't know if I should push him or just follow my desire to hold on. I hated that I didn’t know which
