**Ophelia's POV**

“I’m sorry, but didn’t your young master introduce himself to you?”

I sighed heavily and pretended to look sad. “Actually, I’m sad because Nix hasn’t really opened up to me yet. We’re close, but it’s like I only know the surface of a deep lake. Nix was supposed to keep his promise tonight, but with the weather like this, it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.”

I bowed my head deeply and fidgeted with my hands. I don’t think she knows yet. Judging by her reaction—how she th

  • His Regret Is My Strength   Chapter 12: Nix’s Regrets?

    **Ophelia’s POV**I don’t know what time is now. It’s already dark outside, and this room feels so quiet. When I peeked out at the courtyard where the party took place, only waiters were left, cleaning up the mess. There were no guests left—not even Nix. The good news is, I feel much more refreshed now, and I’m no longer sleepy. But the problem is, I’m starving. The food Nix gave me is still here, but it’s cold. And just as I was heating it up, my phone rang. I thought it was a message from Nix, but it turned out to be a message from Elio. Oh, I forgot to delete and block his number. That’s what I should’ve done first after that night. It wasn’t just one message—there were actually dozens of them, sent ever since the night I left his house. I hadn’t read any of them because I hadn’t touched my phone since that day. Now that I’m reading them, I just want to laugh. They’re the stupidest messages I’ve ever read. Does Elio think I’ll soften just because of a few sweet messages? Ev

  • His Regret Is My Strength   Chapter 11: Wedding Day

    **Ophelia's POV**I married Nix. He kept his promise. Over the weekend, we got married in front of Nix’s whole family and colleagues. My family? I didn’t tell them because I wasn’t sure if they still considered me family or not. For me, what matters now is the contract in place. Whether or not people from my side show up isn’t an issue anymore—I’m used to being on my own. But there was one thing a few days ago that really made me want to scream. It was when Nix answered my question about our last-minute wedding. It turns out Elio never officially registered our marriage. We were never legally married, so only the two of us knew we were married. In reality, legally speaking, we were just two adults living under the same roof. Both my family and his family thought we were married, and no one suspected a thing. That’s because, at the time, the wedding took place privately because of the situation and conditions. It was because of Nix’s explanation that I finally understood I’d bee

  • His Regret Is My Strength   Chapter 10: Signing the Contract

    **Ophelia’s POV**“I’m not sure you can, ma’am.”“Why can’t I? Is it reserved for selected people only?”“More precisely, it requires direct permission from the young master. I’m afraid the permission he granted you doesn’t cover that.”I nodded. If it really wasn’t allowed, I wouldn’t put Margareta in trouble either. “Then what other areas can I visit?”“Um, would you like to see the rooms on this level first? Maybe there are some books you’d like in the library if you enjoy reading.”I nodded enthusiastically. “I love reading. Maybe I can learn more about Nix’s interests if I know what books he reads.”“That’s a wise thought, ma’am.”All right, maybe if I can’t get into his office this time, I can still gather information from the books he reads. I love reading because it lets me forget my noisy mind for a moment. Back when I was still in prison, I even finished every book there. And now, after those dark days are behind me, I want to read as much as I want. “Welcome to the Aliot

    **Ophelia's POV**“I’m sorry, but didn’t your young master introduce himself to you?”I sighed heavily and pretended to look sad. “Actually, I’m sad because Nix hasn’t really opened up to me yet. We’re close, but it’s like I only know the surface of a deep lake. Nix was supposed to keep his promise tonight, but with the weather like this, it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.”I bowed my head deeply and fidgeted with my hands. I don’t think she knows yet. Judging by her reaction—how she then took my hand from her shoulder and held it tightly—it seems she doesn’t know about my relationship with Nix either. Ah, could Nix be really private? If that’s true, then I should be grateful. Because then I won’t have to worry about spinning a story to my benefit. I really want to believe in Nix’s kindness. But I’m also curious about his life. I want to know as much as possible about him so I can protect myself. I’m not just thinking about the positive outcomes—I’m also thinking about the

  • His Regret Is My Strength   Chapter 8: The Decision

    **Ophelia’s POV**Even though Nix didn’t mind at all, I was the one who was actually thinking it over. 16 million dollars. What would he ask for in return? Honestly, it wasn’t a small amount of money. It was a huge sum, even if I sold the assets I owned in my own name. “Don’t think the worst. I won’t have to pay the money if I fulfill all the conditions you’ve set. And I hope everything works out the way we both want it to.”That might make sense. But I’m allowed to be careful, shouldn’t I? “You’ll still get your salary no matter what. And the penalty fee, if it ever happens, though I hope it doesn’t, is entirely yours.” Money. Right now, I really do need money. But can I trust Nix? I mean, it’s not just about the money—I know he’s filthy rich. But is a contract marriage with him worth the time and effort I’ll be trading for the money? Nix has a lot of money. He can do anything with that money. And what I’m afraid of is, if I’m the one who breaks the contract or can’t deliver w

  • His Regret Is My Strength   Chapter 7 Sixteen Million Dollars for Me

    **Ashley’s POV**“Okay, but sit down first.”“Right here.”“Yes or no.”I balled my other hand into a fist. “Fine. But it doesn’t mean I’m staying here any longer.”“You’ll decide after you’ve read the contract.”“Why?”“Because then you’ll know. ”“What’s wrong with the scar on your temple?”Nix quickly swept his hair over the scar on his temple. “None of your business.”“I’m not asking out of curiosity or because I care about you. I’m asking because we’re about to work together, so I just want to make sure you’re not someone who’s involved in any kind of violence. Because I don’t want you to be my second lesson.”“My record is clean. You can check it. I’ll give you the documents after you’ve read the contract.”I could only sigh as quietly as possible. At this point, I’d already decided to review the contract. So I had to read it carefully. Nix then pulled a brown envelope out of the drawer next to the bed. He used a special key, which he then hid in his jacket pocket. “Here’s the
