LOGINReyna Valeria was forced to marry Arvan Hargrove—CEO of Hargrove Group—after becoming pregnant from one tragic night. Arvan accused her of deliberately trapping him and hates both Reyna and their daughter. When Arvan's first love, Lara, returns, he demands a divorce. At the same time, Kirana—Arvan and Reyna's daughter—is diagnosed with a terminal illness with only a month to live. Reyna agrees to divorce on one condition: Arvan must be a good father until Kirana's birthday. However, when Kirana faints after hearing Arvan say he never wanted her, Arvan abandons them on the roadside to go to Lara. A stranger saves Kirana. He turns out to be Reyna's eldest brother from the Langston family, a wealthy family that has been searching for her for years. With her protective brothers and her new identity as the heir to a conglomerate family, Reyna rises from her downfall. When Arvan discovers the truth and regrets his actions, is there still a chance to fix everything?
View MoreI stood in front of the building I had called home for the past four years.A home filled with bitter memories and occasional warm moments that now felt like illusions.My hands trembled as I opened the door with the spare key I always carried.The house was dark and silent.No sound of Kirana's laughter or her small voice calling me "Mommy." No rabbit doll and toys scattered on the floor.Only suffocating emptiness.I turned on the lights and walked toward Kirana's room.Her bedroom door was still open as I had left it last night. Her bed was still messy. Her rabbit doll lay on the pillow, as if waiting for its owner to return.But Kirana would never return.My chest tightened. I could barely breathe.I forced myself to turn and walk to the living room, looking for the divorce papers Arvan had given me a few days ago.The brown folder still lay on the table, in the same place since I brought it home from his office.I opened it and skimmed through it.Full custody to the first party.
The ICU waiting room was silent.I sat in the waiting chair with my body frozen. My dress was still dirty with street dust. My hair was disheveled. But I didn't care.I only cared about one thing.Kirana.My eyes stared intently at the tightly closed ICU door. Behind that door, Kirana was fighting. But I knew. Her chances were very slim. Dr. Morrison had warned me from the beginning. The tumor in her brainstem was too aggressive. One month. That was the time limit given.And now, after tonight's incident, after Kirana fainted from hearing cruel words from her own father, that time limit might be even shorter.My tears flowed.I cried silently, covering my face with both hands."I'm sorry, Kirana," I whispered softly. "Forgive Mommy for not being able to protect you. Forgive Mommy for letting you hear all those bad words."My chest tightened remembering Arvan's cruel words.I shouldn't have brought Kirana to that party. Shouldn't have let her meet Arvan tonight. I should have known tha
Arvan nodded stiffly.I handed Kirana to a trusted assistant, then walked ahead of Arvan out of the ballroom.I didn't care about people's stares.I only cared about one thing.Arvan had just shattered our daughter's heart. And I wouldn't stay silent.I led Arvan to a quiet hotel corridor.My hands trembled holding back anger that had reached its peak."Do you know what you just did?" I asked in a low voice full of emotion. "You just shattered your own daughter's heart!"Arvan stared at me sharply."I regret agreeing to your condition," he said in a cold tone. "It only caused problems. I should never have agreed to be Kirana's father."I was stunned. "Kirana is your child. How can you call her a problem?""She is a problem!" Arvan looked at me with burning eyes. "And all of this happened because of you! I have to pretend to care, pretend to be a good father, while every time I see her, I only remember how you trapped me!"Every word from Arvan stabbed my heart like a knife."She's you
After the incident on the hill, Arvan became cold toward me again.He still came for Kirana, but every time his eyes met mine, there was an impenetrable ice wall.As if he was counting down the days until our agreement ended.I tried not to care. Tried to focus on Kirana and my work.But the days became lonelier. Colder.Two weeks later, Arvan's company held its annual party.I didn't want to go. Didn't want to be in the same room with people who looked at me like I was trash.But Kirana begged with sparkling eyes."Mom, let's go. I want to see Dad in a suit. My friends say office parties are cool."I couldn't refuse her smile.Arvan also agreed when Kirana called him. He even sent two dresses for us. For Kirana, a white dress with a pink ribbon. For me, a simple elegant black dress.I stared at the dress for a long time. This wasn't a luxurious gown like those usually worn by other executives' wives.But I didn't care. I never cared about things like that.The party night arrived.Th
