last update Last Updated: 2026-01-21 01:35:41

It had been four days since Arjan last saw Taylah. She hadn’t stepped out of her room, not even for meals. She didn’t seem to care whether he was around or not.

She stayed inside, resting whenever she could. The butler brought her meals to the door, and Arjan would linger nearby when they arrived, though he never entered.

Oddly enough, he chose not to disturb her. And then she came to know, Arjan had to leave on a business trip, and she was informed only a short while before he left.

She decided to visit her grandparents again; it had been a while. She could also see Laurence there.

When she finally came out, the hall and kitchen were empty. The servants hired by the butler usually finished their chores and left before she even woke up.

But today, even the butler wasn’t around. Maybe he had gone out to buy the monthly groceries. She made herself a black coffee and sat on the couch, wondering what she should do after the divorce.

That’s when a familiar voice echoed in her ears.

    Taylah leaned back, resting her head on the soft pillow, her eyes slowly closing. Her heavy eyelids refused to lift again. “Taylah…!” Arjan called out, relief flooding his voice, surprisingly. She didn’t open her eyes, she didn’t want to see him. Not now. Not ever. Nothing about him felt genuine. Whatever kindness he showed just now was just a mask. After all the torment she had endured, anything “sweet” from him only felt hollow. She hated him so deeply it felt like the hatred could tear her apart. By now he must have known who attacked her. But would he care? Of course not. He would never hand Dia over to the police. He might have even sheltered Dia from the police. “Taylah, talk to me. I… how… how are you feeling?” He reached for her hand, but she jerked away instantly. Laurence reacted at once, stepping in front of Arjan, blocking him. “Don’t touch me. You make me feel sick,” she snapped, and Arjan’s brows pulled together at her outburst. Laurence was just as stunned, he’d

    “Getting comfortable…” Arjan turned his head, eyes following Taylah as she walked toward him. She didn’t waste time. “Arjan… I need a divorce.” The words burst out of her, sharp and final. Arjan froze, stunned. “Why did you marry me then? You asked for it, Taylah,” he shot back, his voice cutting with the same force. “You violated me,” she snapped. “You took advantage of my weakness. You punished me because you couldn’t marry Dia. Tell me, am I the reason your life is miserable? Your fiancée played with my life, yet you’re still blaming me.” His heart gave a sharp, unwelcome twist. “Since I was the one who initiated our marriage, let me be the one to end it,” she said, voice steady despite the tremor beneath it. “I want a divorce, Arjan. Torture me, violate me, do whatever you want. I’m done being weak.” She didn’t pause, she continued. “And you think I bullied Dia?” A humorless laugh escaped her. “Here’s the truth: I lived in hell because of her. She had everyone on her side a

    "I'm pregnant… again." Louis sucked in a sharp breath. "Are you sure you want to keep this baby? It's your decision but remember, this child will carry the name of that beast." "I can’t get rid of this child. I know I’m not in a place to raise a baby, but I don't want any connection left with Arjan. I’m stuck, Louis. He was cruel enough to drag me to the gynecologist for an abortion." Louis’s eyes widened. Taylah went on, "Because of my seizures and low body weight, they postponed it. And… I decided to keep this baby. I don’t know why, but I want to." "We’re here for you, Taylah." She set the spoon down and looked at him. Not a trace of judgment in his eyes. "Finish your food first, Taylah. We’ll talk about everything later," Louis urged. Taylah scooped another spoonful and pushed it into her mouth. "Help me contact Laurence uncle… Laurence Montclair." "He’s a big shot. Will he even be reachable? I’m not sure." Taylah nodded softly. "Just tell him I want to see him. He’ll rec

    Taylah remembered only fragments, the blur of headlights, the road winding beneath trembling hands, the desperate urge to escape. She had managed to get into the car, managed to drive, managed to hope… and still, here she was Caught. When Arjan opened the door and appeared before her like the very end of her world, her breath snagged in her throat. For a heartbeat, she couldn’t even blink. His fingers clamped around her wrist painfully, possessively and he yanked her out of the car. The gravel bit into her feet as she stumbled, and there she was: Dia. Standing with that filthy smirk stretching across her lips. Wherever there was poison, Dia was the one who mixed it. Arjan must have called her the moment he learned Taylah had run. Run with his child. “How dare you lie to me, Taylah. Are you tired of living?” “Don’t shout at her, Arjan,” Dia murmured, her voice slithering like a devil’s whisper. “I think she didn’t want you to know about the pregnancy.” The words were gasoline. A

    Despite the lavish spread of dishes across the table, no one in the Davier family felt hungry, Taylah included.“My proposal for an investment with the Montclair family was flatly refused by the chairman,” John said, drawing everyone’s attention.“And do you know why?” he continued, his gaze snapping toward Dia, who remained angry, eating as though nothing around her mattered. “They are deeply disappointed in how I’ve disciplined my sons.”“What does an investment have to do with our discipline?” Ethan asked sharply, irritation lacing his voice, resentful of being judged, even though he knew the consequences of their own actions.Hannah sighed, already sensing how this dinner would turn into something she never wanted to. “Why don’t we talk about this after we eat?” she suggested gently. “Everyone must be hungry.”“It needs to be addressed now,” John replied firmly. “This is the right time.”“And Ethan,” he continued, his voice hardening, “in the business world, privacy means nothing.
