♦♦♦♦

At night, Vanessa returned from the hospital with Lucas, her arm carefully bandaged, her steps slow and calculated. The house lights were dim, the atmosphere tense,and Eleanor was already waiting for them in the living room, seated comfortably, as if she had been anticipating this moment all along.

“Oh, you’re back,” Eleanor said, rising with fake concern as she walked toward them. “How is she, babe?” she asked Lucas sweetly.

He ignored her completely.

‘He’s unbelievably stubborn,reason doesn’t even live in his head,’ Eleanor scoffed inwardly, but her lips curved into a polite smile.

She turned to Vanessa instead. “Are you feeling better now? Does it still hurt?” She stepped closer and wrapped her arms around her gently, her voice dropping into a whisper meant for Vanessa alone. “Maybe if a man truly cared, he wouldn’t get carried away so easily. Tsk… you really can’t trust men.”

Vanessa clenched her fists into tight balls, her nails biting into her palms as she fought the urge t

    ♦♦♦♦The anger he couldn’t express surged violently through him, coiling tight in his chest like a trapped beast. It clawed at his ribs, burning, demanding release....but he swallowed it down.That reaction.That silent restraint.It was exactly what Eleanor wanted.Hurt.Betrayal.The same quiet devastation she had once felt.So she continued, pressing where it hurt most.“Hmmm… but I pity him,” she said softly.His brows furrowed, confusion flickering through his eyes before curiosity crept in despite himself.“He’s not even in the family picture,” she added with a gentle shake of her head, the sympathy in her voice perfectly practiced. “That must be really tough on him.”Lewis clenched his jaw, biting down on the fury threatening to erupt. Slowly, he turned to face her and pulled her closer.Their bare skin met fully this time....no barrier, no space. The contact was intimate, grounding, and dangerously distracting.“What if…” he began, then stopped.She tilted her head, eyes searc

    ♦♦♦♦The whole house fell into an unnatural quiet as night settled in.It wasn’t the peaceful kind of silence....it was heavy, expectant, as though the walls themselves were holding their breath. Even the usual sounds of footsteps, murmured conversations, or distant movements seemed to disappear.A soft knock broke the stillness.Eleanor lifted her head from where she sat, her body wrapped loosely in a thin night dress. Thanks to Lewis, her door had been fixed after that chaotic night, the new hinges barely making a sound as she moved closer.“Who is it?” she asked, her voice calm, though curiosity flickered in her eyes.“It’s me.”The voice came hesitant....careful.Eleanor paused. The tone felt familiar, yet slightly off. She couldn’t place it immediately, which only intrigued her more.“Come in,” she said at last.The door opened slowly.A tall figure stepped inside, dressed in plain colors that somehow looked anything but ordinary. A cream-colored shirt clung neatly to his frame,

    ♦♦♦♦Two days later, Vanessa was discharged from the hospital and returned to the mansion.The atmosphere in the house had not improved....if anything, it had grown heavier.Things were still awkward between Lewis and Eleanor. He continued to show her subtle advances, lingering touches, prolonged gazes, and unnecessary concern, but Eleanor rejected him each time with calm restraint. Each rejection chipped away at Lewis’s confidence, making him feel inferior to his brother in ways he had never allowed himself to feel before.Yet Eleanor knew her restraint was thinning.The moment she saw Lucas step back into the house, she knew everything would slowly return to its rightful path.The pieces were falling into place.“Eleanor!” Vanessa called out brightly, her voice filled with exaggerated excitement as she rushed forward and wrapped her arms around her.Eleanor did not move.She didn’t return the hug. She didn’t smile. She didn’t even blink.She simply stared at Vanessa like she was obs

    ♦♦♦♦“Why can’t we just talk here?” Lewis asked, slowing his steps as he gestured toward a wooden bench beneath the dim garden lights. His tone was calm, but his eyes searched her face relentlessly. “Or are you trying to run away from me?”“Of course not,” Eleanor shook her head immediately and followed him, sitting quietly beside him. The cool surface of the bench seeped through her thin dress. “Why should I?”Lewis exhaled, leaning back slightly, his elbows resting on the bench as he stared ahead. “You’re getting married to my brother soon,” he said suddenly. “Are you happy?”The question struck her harder than she expected.For a brief moment, Eleanor stayed silent. The night air seemed to thicken between them. Then she nodded slowly.“He’s been good to me,” she replied softly. “I’m sure we’ll be fine after this misunderstanding.”Lewis turned to her at once. “How?” he asked carefully. “You like him? Since when?”That was it.Eleanor saw straight through him....and she decided to p

    ♦♦♦♦The air between them grew heavy, thick with words left unsaid. Lewis stood still, his face unreadable, refusing to reply even though everyone in the room seemed to expect something from him. The truth was simple....he had no intention of joining the company, not now, not ever. Whatever they wanted from him, he had already decided long ago.“Apologize to Eleanor when you get discharged,” Lewis finally said, his voice calm but edged with authority.Vanessa stiffened, then nodded hurriedly, fear flickering across her face. She lowered her gaze, swallowing hard, as though afraid he might change his mind if she hesitated for even a second.Lewis cast Lucas one last look....cold, sharp, unreadable....before turning to leave. But just as his hand brushed the door, he halted.Two familiar figures were approaching down the corridor.Their footsteps were measured, their expressions unpleasant and stern, as though the hospital air itself offended them.“Dad. Mom.” Lucas walked past Lewis wi

    ♦♦♦♦The knock echoed softly against the wooden door.Once.Twice.Eleanor waited.Nothing.The silence pressed against her ears, thick and deliberate, as though the house itself was holding its breath. Slowly, her fingers tightened around the shirt in her hand...the fabric wrinkling, twisting under her grip.“He left again?” she muttered, the words laced with restrained irritation.Her jaw clenched.Without waiting any longer, she turned and walked down the hallway, her steps echoing faintly against the polished floor. The living room greeted her with emptiness...no guards standing at attention, no murmured conversations, no trace of Lewis’s presence.Sunlight streamed lazily through the tall windows, dust motes floating in the air, undisturbed. Everything looked calm. Too calm.“Where’s Lewis?”She stopped a maid passing by, her voice sharp enough to cut through the quiet.The maid slowed only briefly, casting Eleanor a dismissive glance before walking past her as if she hadn’t spok
