Vanessa flung her crystal-studded clutch onto the couch without a second thought. She didn’t care if it cracked, if the stones scattered across the floor. Let them. She stormed toward the bar, grabbed a bottle of champagne, filled a glass halfway, and downed it in one angry gulp.

“Damn it!” she spat, slamming the glass onto the counter.

She started pacing across the luxurious living room of her apartment, heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. Her expression was a storm of fury and disbelief, brows furrowed as her thoughts spiraled out of control.

“Why did he go back to that house?” she muttered, clutching the back of a bar stool so tightly her knuckles turned white. “I’ve been holding back all week—trying not to argue, biting my tongue when his schedule gets in the way, rearranging mine just to match his!”

Vanessa chewed on her thumbnail, agitated.

“And then… I showed up to that damn banquet. Alone. Pretending I’m the picture-perfect wife just to keep up appearances. And fo

    "I didn’t expect you to come to this event," Vanessa said with a smile. There was no way she could let her displeasure show—not the annoyance, not the disappointment she felt over Daven’s behavior. "If I’d known you were coming, we could’ve arrived together.""Arsen told me after the meeting wrapped up. Besides, I needed to meet with a few people involved in the Osaka project."Vanessa huffed quietly, not bothering to hide her irritation. But then her gaze flicked to a few guests nearby—watching them, likely analyzing every movement. “It’s always about that project, isn’t it?” she said sweetly, sliding her arm through her husbands with practiced ease, their closeness on display as naturally as breathing.Daven shot her a brief glance and exhaled, clearly unimpressed by the performance. "Aren’t you using me for your own gain, too? When was the last time we went out—just the two of us—without some orchestrated display for the press? It’s all about your image, isn’t it?""And what’s so w

    “I didn’t expect to see you at tonight’s banquet, Mr. Daven,” Sugimura greeted warmly. The moment his assistant confirmed Daven Callister’s arrival, a genuine smile spread across his face. It had been far too long since they’d had the chance to speak properly. Every official event they attended seemed to be swallowed by schedules and obligations.“I’m honored to be here again, Mr. Sugimura,” Daven replied with a slight bow of respect.“Oh, come on now. You’re still as stiff as ever,” Sugimura teased with a light chuckle as they walked side by side into the heart of the banquet hall.Their strides matched the graceful rhythm of traditional Japanese music echoing through the ballroom—gentle notes from a koto and shamisen blending into the warm, welcoming air. The venue itself was a tribute to elegance, adorned with red-and-white paper lanterns suspended from the ceiling, while artificial cherry blossoms stood quietly in the corners, casting a peaceful charm over the space.Guests mingle

    The office of Callister Corp’s owner was the kind of place that left an impression—elegant, commanding, and impossibly polished. Even Rional Greg, who had stepped into the space more than a few times for business, still found himself slightly awed each time. The way everything was arranged spoke of power and perfection—right down to the large wedding portrait on display.The couple in the photo wore expressions of pure happiness. Their smiles captured in time, framed like a symbol of the flawless life they were meant to represent. It was impossible to forget the scale of that wedding—held in the heart of Migathan and broadcast across every social media platform in the country.“So… any progress?”Daven’s voice broke the silence, low but laced with urgency. His gaze was expectant, almost hopeful.Rio didn’t answer immediately. He reached into his satchel, pulled out a folder, and placed it in Daven&rsq

    “Is your schedule always this packed?” Vanessa’s tone was sharp; her arms crossed tightly over her chest as she glared at Daven with clear disapproval. She’d voiced her frustration more times than she could count, but none of it ever seemed to make a dent in Daven’s obsessive work habits.Daven sighed, his eyes still scanning the document in his hands. Slowly, he took off his glasses and looked up at his wife. “I told you; this week is packed. My schedule’s full.”“That’s always your answer,” Vanessa muttered, her voice rising slightly. “You couldn’t even make it to the dinner with my fashion client last week. That was important to me, Daven!”“Vanessa,” he replied flatly, his tone devoid of apology, his gaze impassive.She clicked her tongue in annoyance. “Tomorrow’s the catalog shoot. I want you there. You know how much I’ve been looking forward to it.”Daven didn’t look up this time. Instead, he flipped to the next page in his report. “I think I’ve got a meeting—”“You can reschedu

    “This is sooo good, Mom!” Josh exclaimed as he shoved a big forkful of baked macaroni into his mouth. His little face lit up with joy, and he gave Althea a big thumbs-up in approval.“I agree with you, little champ,” Chase added with a nod, his voice laced with appreciation. “Honestly, I’ve been wondering—did you ever take cooking classes? Because your food is dangerously addictive. I might start craving it daily, Miss Grayson.”Althea gave him a smile, trying to hide the blush rising in her cheeks. She quickly looked away, occupying herself by refilling Josh’s glass with water.“Eat up, both of you,” she said gently. “Especially you, Josh. Don’t talk while chewing—you’ll choke.”“Yes, Mom,” Josh replied cheerfully, still grinning.Even though she reminded him now and then, Josh was clearly too excited to stay quiet. The joy in his face was u
