Rory woke up to the gentle sway of the car coming to a halt. She opened her eyes and hurriedly wiped the corner of her mouth, smoothing down her hair. Looking out the window, she was greeted by the familiar, imposing architecture of the Dimitrios mansion.

She looked at the driver through the mirror. “Have we been here long? Did we just arrive?”

The driver turned around, looking somewhat awkward. “A-Ah… It’s been about an hour, Miss Rory. We tried waking you earlier, but you seemed so thoroughly

    Before Rory could finish speaking or take another step away, a sound came down the hospital hallway."Rory! You shameless wretch!"Rory’s brows furrowed, and she turned her eyes toward the source of the voice. From the far end of the corridor, Amanda came marching rapidly—her hair disheveled, out of breath, and raw fury stamped across her entire face after seeing Rory talking with Richard.Before anyone else could utter a word, Amanda rushed forward and slap! A loud, forceful slap on Rory's cheek.Rory staggered back two steps from the force of the blow, her hand landing on her stinging, reddened cheek as she stood in shock. Her entire system instantly went cold. This was the absolute first time she was facing Amanda face-to-face after discovering the full truth about her true identity."Useless, worthless child!" Amanda shrieked, her voice trembling in rage as she jabbed a finger at Rory's chest. "You're lounging around here and flirting with your sister's fiancé while Alana is figh

    Richard trembled with fear when he finally saw the face of the woman who had tormented and haunted his mind for days. His knees felt as though they had lost all their strength as he rushed toward them, completely unmindful of the passing people or the dried blood still staining the side of his lip and his clothes."Rory..." Richard’s voice was broken, trembling, and full of desperate pleading as he came to a complete halt right in front of Rory. He didn't even pay attention to Helen standing nearby.His knees suddenly gave out, and he nearly dropped to the concrete floor, his hands outstretched as if wanting to reach out to Rory, but he forced himself to stop when he saw the white cast on her arm."Rory, please... just a moment," Richard begged, his voice shaking while his eyes burned red and leaked with tears. "I need to talk to you. I've been looking for you everywhere... I searched for you everywhere because I don't know what to do with myself anymore."Rory quickly took a step bac

    Rory smiled bitterly as she looked at Mr. Dimitrios's pale face. Not wanting the old man to sink into deep sadness and depression over his health condition, she took a slow, deep breath and decided to steer the conversation in another direction."Don't worry, Dad. I will take good care of Rue," Rory promised tenderly, forcing her voice to sound bright and cheerful. "And you know what? I came here today to share some news with you about the preparations for our wedding!"Mr. Dimitrios's dimming eyes flickered with a faint spark of light. "Your... your wedding?""Yes!" Rory continued with a smile. She brought her right hand close to the old man and spread her fingers to reveal the glittering ring Rue had given her last night. "Look, Dad. And just earlier today, he told me he already hired the best wedding planner to sort everything out within this month."The old man stared at the breathtaking ring on the young woman's finger. A genuine, wide smile slowly curved onto Mr. Dimitrios's lip

    After making sure that Rue had left for the office due to an emergency meeting, Rory immediately headed to the hospital to visit Mr. Dimitrios.Rory took a deep breath, slung her shoulder bag over her right shoulder, and stepped her right foot into the empty elevator to go up to the VIP floor.However, before she could fully move her other foot and step her entire body inside, a familiar and loud voice echoed from afar, forcing her to freeze in her tracks."Rory!"Rory’s goosebumps suddenly rose. Her feet locked in place on the floor while her eyes widened in shock. That voice... she would never, ever mistake it. Richard."Rory, wait! Stop!" the voice continued to shout as it rapidly approached from the other side of the lobby, followed by a woman's voice desperately trying to hold him back.A wave of nervousness leaped inside Rory's chest. Her hands began to tremble. How on earth is Richard here too?! she asked herself, fear instantly rushing back into her eyes. She knew that if he c

    Meanwhile, Amanda, Alana’s mother, remained entirely oblivious to the chaos unfolding back at the mansion. She had left early, generously armed with the credit card provided to her, intending to spend her day shopping and killing time at high-end boutiques. She basked in the sweet delusion that her scheme had succeeded and that the newlyweds were happily spending the morning together. Upon arrival at the hospital's emergency room, the nurses and doctors immediately transferred Alana onto a stretcher. "Patient, 20 weeks pregnant, experiencing severe vaginal bleeding and abdominal trauma!" the ER doctor ordered urgently, pushing the stretcher at a dead sprint toward the operating suite doors. "Alana!!" Richard screamed, desperately chasing alongside the stretcher until a pair of stern nurses cut him off right at the entrance of the emergency suite. "Sir, you must wait out here. We will take it from here," the nurse pleaded before slamming the double doors shut in his face. Richard

    Despite the pain and bitterness Alana felt when she heard Rory’s name from her husband’s lips, she still gave in. She kissed and accepted every touch and desire throughout the night—hoping that by doing so, the man’s treatment of her would change and the night would truly become theirs.But as dawn approached and the effects of the drug slowly faded from Richard’s system, the man woke up with a splitting headache.Richard slowly opened his eyes. He could deeply feel the exhaustion in his body, but what shocked him even more was the warmth of the body beside him—Alana, who was clinging to his chest while sleeping completely naked under the blanket.Richard’s entire body went cold. He gasped in shock and violently bolted upright."W-Wait... what happened?!" Richard shouted angrily and frantically as he quickly pushed himself away and pulled the blanket over his body.Alana woke up to her husband's loud voice. She rubbed her eyes and offered a faint, coaxing smile. "Good morning, Richard
