LOGINViona 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?” he asked.
Ravelina stopped herself; she almost said her reason for marrying Regan.
“There’s no need to talk about it anymore. I want to sleep,” Ravelina released Regan’s embrace and then walked toward her room. Meanwhile, Regan suddenly thought about Ravelina’s words—about her face supposedly being the reason she married him.
Regan entered the room where Ravelina was lying down and hugged her from behind. When Ravelina was about to reject him, Regan held her body tightly.
“Don’t reject me, Ravelina. I want you. I want us to be together tonight,” Regan gently stroked Ravelina’s hair.
“Usually you don’t want to sleep with me. Why do you want to now?” asked Ravelina, who still did not understand why Regan was holding on to this marriage.
Regan looked at Ravelina warmly and refused to look away, then softly kissed the woman’s lips. “I want us to have a child. Didn’t you always want to have my child?” Regan reminded her how Ravelina had once greatly wanted a child from him.
“Why don’t you want to divorce me?”
Regan fell silent upon hearing Ravelina’s question. “I fell in love with you. For five years, I’ve always wasted your love. I feel guilty and want to fix it,” Regan explained to Ravelina. The woman stayed silent. One question crossed her mind.
“I heard you have a twin sibling. I heard it from the servants. Where is he?”
Ravelina made small talk—of course she was lying. She only wanted to find out whether Regan was truly involved in the death of Kegan, her lover. Regan instantly fell silent. Ravelina had never asked about this before, especially about his twin sibling who had long since died.
“I have a twin, but he’s gone!” Regan answered coldly. Ravelina noticed it; she had heard from her hired people that Regan was involved in the death of her lover.
“He’s gone—did he die from illness or…”
“An accident, five years ago before we got married. Kegan—his name was Kegan Dominic. He was smart, intelligent, and the future CEO of Dominic Group.”
Regan looked at Ravelina, who listened with cold eyes. “But he died in a terrible accident, and I replaced him as CEO. Why are you asking this, Ravelina?” Regan looked at Ravelina, who seemed to be listening seriously.
“You never told me this? That your twin is already gone?”
Curiosity and anger settled in Ravelina’s chest. She wanted to know everything about the death of her lover.
“What’s the point of telling a story about someone who’s already dead? He won’t come back to life anyway,” Regan replied as he took Ravelina’s fingers. Of course, the more Regan talked about Kegan’s death, the more curious Ravelina became.
Her hands felt frozen cold. “I just want to know,” Ravelina said as she watched Regan kiss her fingers. Then, Regan’s gaze grew more intense.
“Can we talk about it later? I want to be with you. Don’t you miss my touch?”
Regan kissed Ravelina’s lips softly. Ravelina wanted to refuse, but Regan’s desire was very strong. It had been a long time since Regan had touched Ravelina like this. The cold room became a witness to the first time Regan touched Ravelina so intensely.
They made love for quite a while. Ravelina knew Regan was very skilled in bed. Every moan that escaped Ravelina’s lips made Regan grow even more obsessed with her.
And for the first time, their lovemaking was very heated, because Regan did not do it just once, but several times until Ravelina collapsed on the bed.
“I never realized that making love with you is so extraordinary, dear,” Regan kissed Ravelina’s forehead, but the woman remained silent. There was regret and anger deep in her heart after what they had done.
“We shouldn’t have done this,” Ravelina looked at Regan. “We were almost divorced. I also haven’t agreed about continuing our marriage…”
“Ravelina,”
Regan asked Ravelina to calm down. He held her fingers and kissed them warmly. “I beg you, keep our marriage. You’re the only one I want,” Regan hugged Ravelina again, preventing the woman from leaving the bed.
Ravelina let out a long breath. Regan would never let her go. She knew it. Regan would do anything to keep this marriage.
However, an idea appeared in Ravelina’s mind. If she truly could not leave or divorce Regan right now, she would investigate the death of her late lover, Kegan.
“I agree to maintain this marriage…”
“Really?” Regan was surprised to hear Ravelina’s words. “Do you really want to keep this marriage?” Regan seemed unable to believe what he had just heard.
“Yes, but with one condition,” Ravelina had one request. Regan, who was already very happy to hear Ravelina’s words, hugged his wife.
“Say it. What’s the condition? I will definitely fulfill it,” Regan replied happily. Ravelina had a plan to uncover Regan’s involvement in her lover’s death. And one way was that she had to stay by Regan’s side longer.
“I want to hear all the stories about the death of your twin sibling, Kegan Dominic,” Ravelina looked at Regan’s face. The man looked shocked to hear Ravelina’s rather odd request.
“The death of my twin? But why?”
He looked at Ravelina, who nodded. “Yes, about your twin. I’m curious about the life of someone who looks just like you.”
Regan fell silent, staring at Ravelina’s earnest face. “Alright, but why do you want to know?” Regan asked with curiosity in his heart.
Ravelina did not answer. She chose to stay silent, but Regan began to wonder why Ravelina wanted to know about the death of his twin.
“Tell me, Ravelina. What’s the reason?”
Regan held his wife’s arm. Ravelina immediately turned to him with a cold, sharp gaze.
“Because Kegan Dominic, your twin brother, was my former lover.”
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.

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,
