"Why did you slap Viona and humiliate her in public, Ravelina?"
Anger was clearly visible on Regan Dominic’s face when he received the news from his girlfriend Viona, who had cried and complained about what Ravelina had done—slapping and humiliating her in public during the fashion show. Right at that moment, a message entered Ravelina’s phone.
Mr. X:
[Regan was involved in the death of his twin brother, Kegan. Your late lover. I will send the evidence as you requested.]
Ravelina fell silent after reading the message, her fingers suddenly turning cold upon learning that shocking fact.
"Ravelina, I'm talking to you,…"
"Let’s just get a divorce, Regan. Let’s end this marriage. Isn’t that what you've always wanted from me?"
One cold sentence left Ravelina’s lips, and Regan instantly fell silent hearing her request. All this time he was the one who always demanded a divorce from Ravelina, the woman who had once done everything she could to marry him. Ravelina married Regan not without reason—it was because of Regan’s twin brother, Kegan Dominic. The man who was once Ravelina’s lover, whom she loved so deeply, had died five years ago.
Since then, not wanting to lose her love for Kegan who was gone, Ravelina decided to marry Regan, the twin of her lover, by any means necessary. But everything ended after Ravelina learned that Regan was actually involved in the death of her lover, Kegan Dominic.
Ravelina left Regan in that room and walked toward her bedroom. All her sacrifices to keep her love for her lover’s twin had been for nothing.
Regan was about to follow Ravelina, but a phone call from Viona came into his phone. “Honey, I’m at your mother’s house. I can’t accept that Ravelina humiliated me.”
The voice on the other end froze Regan. Who would he choose right now? Go to Ravelina in her room or meet Viona? Meanwhile, Ravelina knew her husband had just received a call from that woman and waited to see what Regan would do.
But then, the sound of a car engine leaving the residence was heard. Ravelina gave a pale smile. “Now I know who you choose, Regan.”
Ravelina immediately grabbed her phone and called her lawyer. “Prepare the divorce papers like I asked before. I am ready to divorce Regan Dominic.”
Ravelina ended the call—there was nothing left to fight for. All this time she had endured and chased Regan’s love even though she was always ignored, because of her love for her husband’s twin brother, Kegan. Just seeing the same face had kept her going as Regan’s wife, even though she was often treated badly by him.
“Mrs. Ravelina, would you like to cook a special dish for Master Regan for dinner?”
One of the servants asked Ravelina, who was at that moment staring at her wedding photo with Regan in the family room. Ravelina shook her head. “No need, you can serve anything,” she replied coldly, then walked away.
All the servants were confused by Ravelina’s behavior. Usually, whenever it came to dinner and breakfast, Ravelina would personally cook for her husband, Regan. But now, she chose to ignore it. For her, there was no reason to stay beside someone who had been involved in the death of the man she loved so deeply.
At 7 p.m., Regan returned home. Viona came with him—she still couldn’t accept being humiliated by Ravelina earlier, so she forced Regan to make Ravelina apologize.
“Where’s Ravelina?” Regan asked in a slightly raised tone to the servants, not finding her. And right at that moment, Ravelina had just arrived back home as well.
“No need to shout, I’m right here!” she answered coldly. Ravelina saw Viona clinging sweetly onto Regan’s arm. She felt nothing anymore, no longer caring about what they did.
This was the first time Regan had brought this woman into their home. Ravelina already knew her husband loved this woman deeply; she was no longer surprised.
“Regan, earlier today she humiliated me. Now, I want her to apologize to me,” Viona demanded an apology from Ravelina in a spoiled tone, still clinging tightly to Regan’s arm.
Regan, who loved Viona deeply, turned to Ravelina. “Ravelina,…”
“I apologize, Viona. Forgive my behavior toward you earlier today. I regret doing that,” Ravelina said before Regan even finished his sentence. She chose not to argue about what happened earlier. Her response shocked both Regan and Viona, especially Regan who noticed Ravelina’s blank expression.
No more cheerful expressions, no more sweet, affectionate words. Ravelina had turned cold, and it greatly disturbed Regan.
“Ravelina,…”
“Honey,” Viona clung even more, feeling victorious over Regan’s attention—especially since Ravelina had apologized. “Ravelina already apologized, so does that mean I can stay over tonight, honey?” Viona asked sweetly, hugging Regan in front of Ravelina.
Regan looked slightly awkward—he wanted to push Viona’s arms away. But Ravelina chose to walk away, no longer caring about what they did. That disturbed Regan… for some reason, her silence and cold attitude bothered him deeply.
“Regan, you’ll sleep with me tonight, right?”
Viona demanded his attention. She had a reason for being allowed to come with Regan to the house. She had complained about Ravelina to his mother and gained her support to stay over, especially since Regan always told his parents he wanted to divorce Ravelina.
But now that the desire had become reality, suddenly Regan’s heart wavered. For some reason, he didn’t want a divorce.
“Regan, who are you thinking about? Why aren’t you answering me?” Viona seemed upset, because Regan had been quiet and ignoring her.
“You can stay here. Come, I’ll take you to the guest room.” Regan asked Viona to follow him, and the two walked toward the guest room. But Regan’s eyes kept drifting toward the bedroom door where Ravelina was.
Ravelina’s coldness and indifference bothered him greatly. He kept wondering why she suddenly changed—when normally Ravelina would do anything to get his attention. Regan knew his wife loved him very much and was always extremely jealous of Viona.
But tonight, Ravelina had drastically changed—cold and indifferent—and it deeply disturbed Regan.
“Ravelina, why did you suddenly change?” Regan once again stopped walking, hoping she would come out of the room and act sweet toward him like usual.
But even as Viona tugged on his arm and pulled him into the room, Ravelina did not come out. Regan began to feel the loss of Ravelina’s affection, something he unexpectedly started to miss.
A commotion erupted at the Dominic residence without Ravelina having to open her mouth at all. Everyone cast cynical looks at her, judging that she continued to hide behind Regan’s figure. Especially Viona—angry glares were directed at her, but Ravelina herself was indifferent to her.The only reason Ravelina remained in this room, in the midst of the Dominic family who stared at her sharply like bullets piercing flesh, was the discussion about Kegan. Ravelina wanted to know more about her late lover, straight from his family’s own mouths.Ravelina was inside the restroom now.“They mentioned Kegan’s name, I want to hear more about Kegan, from the Dominic family themselves,” she whispered softly, her fingers reaching for a tissue and preparing to leave the room.But as she stepped out, Aunt Linda Dominic crossed paths with her. “You’ve got nerve,” she hissed sharply. Ravelina ignored her. To her, there was no point in speaking with Regan’s shameless family.“Silence is golden?” she sa
Something struck Regan hard, right at the moment Ravelina uttered those words. He fell silent with a stiff gaze directed at Ravelina, who now stood right in front of him.“You, …”“I am your twin brother’s lover, Kegan. I lost Kegan, and even at his last moment, I didn’t get the chance to see his body when he was buried.”Ravelina said it with a cold expression, yet there were wounds in every sentence she spoke. Regan immediately pulled himself together; doubt and anxiety took over his mind as he tried to process every word Ravelina said.“Why did you never tell me that?”Regan threw the question at Ravelina, his fingers clenching. The muscles in his wrist were now visible. “You didn’t ask, so why should I explain,” she replied, watching her husband who now stood motionless.It was as if Ravelina were toying with him, but before Regan’s thoughts could wander further, guessing at what Ravelina meant—The woman smiled. She stood up and picked up the pajamas scattered on the floor. “No n
Viona overheard Regan’s words from behind the door of her treatment room and looked extremely annoyed. It felt futile that she had pretended to have bleeding just to attract Regan’s attention. Somehow, Regan and Ravelina’s marriage, which was already on the brink of divorce, suddenly took a turn, and Regan was now unwilling to divorce Ravelina.“If Regan doesn’t want to divorce Ravelina, then I will force Regan to divorce Ravelina. Just wait and see.”Regan arrived at his residence and saw Ravelina watching television. The woman’s face looked expressionless as Regan approached and sat beside her.“Don’t think about what my family said. Let’s just focus on fixing our relationship,”Regan hugged Ravelina, who looked at him coldly. “Why don’t we just get divorced? You can be happy with Viona. After all, my reason for marrying you was only because of this face of yours,”Ravelina said something shocking. Regan did not understand Ravelina’s words at that moment. “What’s wrong with my face?
Numerous calls were rejected by Regan. No matter who tried to contact him, Regan chose to ignore them all. His mind was filled only with thoughts of Ravelina. Ever since they spoke earlier that afternoon, Ravelina had spent her time inside her room, and Regan was very curious about what his wife was doing.“May I come in?”Regan asked for permission. Ravelina turned toward him, already standing inside the room. “You don’t need to act sweet toward me. You can just leave. Viona needs you. Have you forgotten that she’s carrying your child?” Ravelina said it with a dull gaze.This relationship felt utterly empty. Ravelina truly wanted to end it. Regan wrapped both arms around Ravelina, something that was usually done by her toward him. “When we’re together, I don’t want to talk about anyone else,” he replied.Ravelina remembered how, for the past five years, she had desperately wanted to be treated warmly by Regan. Even though she hated this man—because Regan was involved in the death of
Ravelina took a heavy breath when she found Regan holding her tightly and asking her not to leave his side. In the past, Ravelina had desperately longed for this kind of sweet treatment; she even acted extremely clingy every day just to get Regan’s attention. But all of that turned out to be futile. Regan was not someone worthy of love—every time she looked at him, Ravelina’s heart ached.Remembering that Regan was involved in the death of his twin, who was the lover Ravelina loved so dearly, the hatred in Ravelina’s heart only grew stronger.Ravelina immediately released Regan’s embrace. “Sorry, I have to go.”Ravelina left the room; there was nothing left for her to fight for anymore. This marriage was no longer what she wanted. However, Regan did not seem willing to let Ravelina go. He chased after his wife, who was now almost out of the residence. At that very moment, Viona, who was there, saw Regan.“Regan,…”“Ravelina, we will never get divorced.”The words Regan said shocked bo
Viona refused to let go of Regan’s embrace; even when she fell asleep, she held Regan’s body tightly. For the first time, Regan felt restless. He couldn’t sleep even though the clock had struck 11 p.m. Regan remembered very well that Ravelina couldn’t sleep unless she saw his face. That’s why every time Regan lied about staying out with Viona, he often sent photos to Ravelina.But this time, there wasn’t a single message or call from Ravelina. That woman was silent and indifferent, and somehow Regan began to feel a sense of loss. When Viona was fast asleep, Regan entered the room where Ravelina was. And for the first time, Ravelina slept soundly wrapped in a blanket without him.Regan got on the bed; he hugged Ravelina slowly. The woman woke up and found Regan in her bed. “Let go,” she said flatly.Regan was, of course, surprised. He stared at Ravelina’s expressionless face. “Didn’t you always want to sleep being hugged from behind?” Regan asked in disbelief, then looked at Ravelina,
