Alana leaned back against her hospital pillows, flicking through channels with the remote. Beside the bed, Richard sat slumped in an armchair, absentmindedly staring at his phone, desperate for any sign of a message from Rory.

A sudden news flash interrupted the broadcast.

"BREAKING NEWS: The Rivaz Group of Companies has officially announced its next major venture—a multi-billion-dollar inland resort project on an exclusive island. A company spokesperson confirmed construction begins this week

    Alana sat on the edge of her bed, her head slightly bowed. She slowly raised her hand to stroke her stomach, forcing herself to take deep breaths to calm her rapid, trembling respiration. Her mind had been racing endlessly ever since Richard left to follow Rory.‘Mommy is right...’ Alana whispered to herself, closing her eyes, red from crying. ‘I need to calm down. I have to protect this baby. This is my only remaining trump card to keep Richard from leaving me completely... to make sure he doesn't replace me with Rory again. And I have more right to Richard's surname because I am his real wife. I should be the one preparing for the wedding alongside his mother, not my sister. And for me to do that, I need to deliver this baby safely.’She released a deep sigh. She tried to shift her focus to calming herself, trying to convince her mind that Richard was merely doing everything for the company and for both her and the baby she was carrying.She picked up her phone from the nightstand,

    Richard slowly drank his wine until not a single drop was left. Just a few minutes later, his eyelids began to feel heavy. Leaning against the edge of the bed, he tried to speak and reach out for Rory, but his head ultimately slumped onto the soft pillow, and he fell into a deep, heavy snore.Once she was certain he was completely unconscious, the sweet smile instantly vanished from Rory's face. She retrieved the glass from his hand and set it down on the table.She immediately reached for Richard's phone resting on the nightstand. Using the finger of the fast-asleep man, she quickly unlocked the screen.Rory first opened the messaging app. Her brow furrowed upon seeing that the inbox was impeccably clean—his entire conversation history with Alana was deleted, along with his exchanges with her mother, Amanda. She rolled her eyes quietly.‘Taking extra care not to get caught,’ Rory thought, shaking her head.Next, she opened the main Gallery app. She expected to find evidence of their

    Richard slammed the apartment door shut, directing his intense anger and disappointment toward Alana and Amanda before rushing down the building to pursue Rory.When Richard emerged into the lobby, his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. He spotted the young woman by the driveway, waiting for a ride. His hands trembled with anxiety and fear that she might completely change her mind about their upcoming wedding, even as a powerful wave of desire for her consumed him.“Rory! Rory, wait!” Richard shouted as he sprinted toward her.Rory slowly turned around. Before fully facing him, she adjusted her expression, adopting a meek and stoic demeanor. Her eyes were still slightly red as she looked at the man rushing toward her.“Richard? Why did you follow me?” Rory asked softly, her voice trembling. “I told you to spend some time inside. Alana and Mommy need you more—”“No, Rory, please, listen to me,” Richard stammered desperately, quickly taking both of her hands in his. “Pay no mind to

    Amanda quickly pushed Richard into the other room before rushing toward the apartment door. Taking a deep breath to catch her composure, she slowly opened it. Rory stood in the hallway, looking utterly elegant with her head slightly tilted, holding a small paper bag. An awkward smile played on her lips as she gazed at her mother's flustered face. "Mommy," Rory greeted warmly and with concern as she stepped inside. "Why was the door password changed? The old code kept giving me an error. I thought something terrible had happened to you here." Amanda swallowed hard, rapidly coming up with an excuse. "A-Ah, Rory! It’s you... Well, Alana changed it this morning because she was panicked by the news about a burglar in the neighboring building. Besides, you mentioned you wouldn't be coming home for a while, right? That’s why we forgot to tell you." "Is that so?" Rory replied, her eyes sweeping across the living room. She immediately spotted a pair of men's shoes near the entrance and a lu

    At the Salazar home…Alana sat on the edge of the bed, her body trembling violently as she wept in intense rage and humiliation."I hate you, Rory! You’re a devill!" Alana screamed, slamming her fist into a pillow once more. "You act so holy! You even dared to show off right in front of me! And Richard... that useless coward just let his mother trample all over me!"Amanda rushed into the room and immediately shut the door behind her. Her eyes widened in shock as she took in the chaotic state of the room and her daughter's pale, sweaty face."Alana, please, calm down!" Amanda cried out, stepping forward to grasp her daughter's shoulders. "Think about the baby! Something terrible could happen if you go wild like this! You'll put your pregnancy at risk! Richard and his family will only reject you more. That child in your womb is your key to getting in and being accepted by them.""I don't care!" Alana retorted hysterically, sniffling. "Did you see how Mrs. Summers humiliated me?! And Ro

    Rory blinked. "Mrs. Rivaz..." she whispered, as if testing the weight of the name on her tongue."Owned by me," Rue added slowly before finally lowering his head.Rue pressed his lips against Rory's. The initial meeting of their lips was slow and deliberate. Unhurried, yet filled with an intense depth and pressure that made Rory's heart leap in her chest. She could feel the warmth of Rue's skin, the subtle scent of expensive whiskey, and the cool taste of mint blending with his breath.Rory closed her eyes. Her hands, which had been resting passively on his chest, slowly traveled up toward his shoulders and neck, her fingers tangling into the soft hair at the back of his head. Her mind whirred in confusion—she couldn't deny the electrifying current surging through her body. It was a intoxicating mixture of intense craving, hesitation, and a strange sense of protection that no other man had ever made her feel, least of all Richard.Rue tightened his grip around her waist, adjusting his
