Dicentra received a message and started eating rapidly, as if there were no tomorrow. “What happened? Eat slowly!” Taylah said, handing her a glass of water when she choked on her food.

“I overslept because I drank too much last night. The hangover is killing me. Damn, I’m going to get scolded by Louis... today is going to be the worst,” Dicentra replied, shoving the last bite of breakfast into her mouth as she hurried to her room to get ready for work.

After ten minutes, she emerged in casual attire. “I’m heading to work. Make sure to eat your lunch properly. I’ll ask Louis about the job,” she said, hugging Taylah.

“Okay!” Taylah laughed gently.

Dicentra slipped on her heels and dashed out the door like she was in a marathon.

A day spent indoors felt unbearably boring for Taylah. She lacked the courage to attend classes, leaving her education incomplete.

After a week, Taylah started working at Louis's bar. She wore an eye mask to ensure that no one could recognize her, even up

    Taylah stood rigid, trembling with fear, her heart racing uncontrollably.He stepped closer, and she could feel his hot breath against her bare neck, causing her face to flush with trepidation. He traced a finger from her forehead down to her mask, and she shivered.Initially, it had been a wild guess for him about the identity beneath the mask. But when he finally removed it, his eyes widened in shock, boiling with anger. Taylah was the first woman who had attracted him sexually, and his curiosity had drawn him to her again today. He never expected that the person standing in front of him would be her. It felt like fate, but it was a fate he had not anticipated.A mask fell to the floor with a clatter, breaking the silence between them. The moment Arjan realized she was Taylah, he slammed her against the wall, causing her head to hit it slightly. She gasped in pain.“So... it’s you again. No wonder I felt the same way,” he said, trailing a finger from her neck to her collarbone, appl

    A small whimper escaped her mouth, echoing through the silent room. She felt as though she were walking through a cold, dark forest. The chill spread throughout her body, and cold sweat formed on her forehead. Her body trembled.She didn’t know what to do. It was his child—the man she once hated with all her heart. But now, for reasons she couldn’t explain, she found it impossible to hate him anymore. A strange, unfamiliar feeling stirred within her.The Next MorningDicentra arrived to visit Taylah. As she opened the door to the ward, a horrifying sight awaited her. Taylah lay unconscious on the bed, a cut on her left wrist. Blood had soaked the blanket, and Taylah lay there, lifeless.“Taylah...” Dicentra gasped, frozen by the sight. She rushed to Taylah’s side, shaking her. “Wake up, girl... What happened?” Tears streamed down her face. “Doctor... Nurse... Somebody, please help me!” she screamed, her voice cracking.A nurse entered the room and was equally horrified. She quickly ra

    Taylah spent the next week resting, rarely leaving her room. She only came out to eat, but every time she did, she threw up whatever she had eaten. Constant nausea and morning sickness plagued her. She saw the doctor for check-ups and took medication to help with the sickness, but her depression weighed heavily on her. Arjan’s harassment haunted her, leaving her sleepless at night. She wanted to end this painful chapter of her life.Determined to seek justice for herself and her unborn child, Taylah made a decision. She would confront Arjan. Dicentra didn’t interfere with Taylah’s choice. She always encouraged Taylah to be strong and silently vowed to stand by her side, ready to protect her if needed.One bright morning, Taylah emerged from her room, ready for something important. She wore a simple dress and light makeup. Dicentra, who was setting the dining table, noticed her and sensed that today was different.“Dicentra... I'm going out for a while,” Taylah said softly, like a lit

    The Edwards and Davier families began preparing for the wedding, planning a grand ceremony for both of their sons on the same day.During this time, Taylah stayed locked in her room, avoiding the outside world. The Edwards family didn’t acknowledge her presence; they were simply relieved that there were no issues regarding the wedding, ensuring their shares remained secure.Dia was frustrated about marrying Ethan, but the elder’s orders left her with no choice, intensifying her anger towards Taylah. Despite being engaged to Ethan, Dia frequently spent time with Arjan, who didn’t seem to mind the situation, knowing it was all a mess.Initially, Taylah was Ethan's fiancée while Dia was supposed to be Arjan's. This sudden shift in their relationships left both women struggling to accept their new reality.ON THE DAY OF THE WEDDINGIn the dressing room, Taylah prepared for her unwanted marriage.

    After the party, everyone went home. Taylah sat silently on the bed, not really waiting for him, yet her heart raced with anxiety.She tugged at her dress, still in her party attire. Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching, sending a chill of fear through her. His words echoed in her mind.The doorknob turned, and Arjan walked in. He came up to her and grabbed her wrist. “What do you want?” she asked, taken aback by his sudden action.“You dare to threaten me, huh?” His arrogant tone made her shudder. He dragged her outside the mansion. She struggled against his strong grip.“Let go of me, Arjan,” she protested. “Where did your arrogance go, Mrs. Davier?” he sneered at her.He headed to the parking area of Davier's mansion and threw her into the car. Her back slammed against the seat, causing a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She hissed in discomfort and clenched her dress.He started the car, and she didn’t dare to say a word to him, feeling as though he was a monster ready to dev

    He downed the last sip of wine in one gulp and slammed the glass onto the table before walking toward the door and leaving the bar.He headed straight to Dia's apartment. After the party, she had left the mansion for her own place. He knocked on the door, and after a minute, Dia opened it, wearing lingerie. “Arjan... What are you doing here?” she asked, feigning surprise. He remained silent as he stepped inside, and she closed the door behind him, a sly grin spreading across her lips. He stumbled slightly, and Dia reached out to steady him.“Did you drink, Arjan?” she asked, concern flickering in her eyes. Taylah’s face flashed in his mind. He shook his head. “What happened?” Dia pressed, worry etched on her features. He continued to shake his head, signaling it was nothing. “Why are you here, Arjan? Today is your wedding night, right? Taylah might be waiting for you,” Dia said, putting on a pitying expression.“Don’t talk about that woman. If it weren’t for her, we’d already be marr

    One Month LaterArjan and Taylah had moved out of the mansion to his private villa, a decision Arjan had made unilaterally. In response, Mr. Davier had hired a butler to keep an eye on them, but Arjan quickly took control, ensuring the butler didn’t reveal anything to Mr. Davier.Now, Taylah found herself isolated, unable to even have a friendly conversation with anyone from her in-laws. She felt exhausted from being confined in the villa, unable to go out without Arjan’s permission. Even if she wanted to see her in-laws, she had to ask Arjan first.It had been a month since they left the old mansion, and Taylah wondered if he cared at all. He returned home late at night and left early each morning, leaving her feeling even more alone and trapped.The life of an ordinary husband and wife continued, but there was an underlying bitterness. The wife's responsibilities remained unchanged even after a decade, highlighting a troubling aspect of society. For her, life wasn’t easy when she wa

    ONE DAYTaylah received a call from the old mansion, inviting her and Arjan for dinner. Now she had to tell him, and the thought of going to his office filled her with dread.After dressing carefully, she made her way to his company. Everyone there knew who she was. The rustling whispers around her only added to her anxiety. It was no secret that the whole city talked about Arjan’s lover and her marriage troubles.She felt like a third wheel in their relationship and was increasingly affected by the gossip. She used to be indifferent to such chatter, but now everything felt different. She was determined to confront Arjan, despite the whispers and stares.Taylah took the elevator to his office, taking a deep breath to steady herself. She knocked on the door, and a deep voice called out, “Come in.”She entered his beautifully furnished office, with a view of the entire city through the glass windows.“What brings you here?

    Dia finally made up her mind and marched toward Taylah. As she got closer, she put on a confident expression."Well, look who’s here."Taylah’s expression turned cold. The last thing she wanted was to run into Dia—or worse, confront her. She didn’t have the strength left to face anyone, especially Dia and Arjan, the most shameless couple alive."Are you blind?"Taylah’s sharp response only fueled Dia’s anger."Just because you're wearing an unreleased dress by designer Edith Ashford doesn’t make you a princess. You’re still just a servant girl in this lifetime," Dia sneered, intent on humiliating Taylah.Taylah’s eyes widened in shock. She never imagined she’d ever wear a piece from one of the most renowned designers. The year-end party was a high-profile event, known for forging connections between small and large-scale businesses—but it also had a dark reputation. It was one of the dirtiest events of the year, where rivals exposed secrets to ruin reputations, destroy businesses, an

    The car ride was silent. The air between them was thick, but neither of them dared to speak. She wasn't ready to confront him and waste her energy. It was already too much for them to digest that she was going to a year-end party with Arjan that had nothing to do with her at all. When the car pulled up to the grand venue, the lights from the chandeliers inside spilt out onto the red carpet outside. As the door opened, Taylah was greeted by flashing cameras and the buzz of reporters’ voices. The chaos hit her all at once. “Mr Davier, are the rumours true about You and Mrs Dia Davier dating even though you are married?” “Mrs Taylah Davier, can you tell us how married life is treating you? Words leaked that you guys are expecting? Is that true?” “What happened between Davier's young couple? The brides seemed switched. Any word about that, Mr Davier?” Taylah blinked rapidly, overwhelmed by the barrage of questions. She wasn’t used to this. The attention, the scrutiny—it wasn’t her w

    The Day was slowly slipping into dusk when a soft knock echoed on the door of Taylah’s room. She looked up from the book she hadn’t really been reading and hesitated for a moment before walking over. Opening the door, she found the butler standing neatly at the threshold, holding a large white garment bag over his arm. “Young madame,” he greeted politely, bowing his head. “Mrs. Davier sent this for you. It’s the dress she’s arranged for you to wear to the year-end party tonight.” Taylah blinked at him, caught slightly off guard. She didn’t have any clue about the party at all. She opened the door a little wider, allowing him to step in while mulling over her thoughts. As the butler carefully laid the dress on the edge of the bed, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He glanced at it, frowned slightly, and answered immediately. “Yes, madam,” he said after a beat. “She’s here… Yes, I’ll hand it to her now.” He held the phone out to Taylah. “It’s Mrs. Davier, Young madame. She wishes to

    Things had been gradually settling down since the social media accounts were taken care of. It had taken a great deal of effort and money from the Davier family. Taylah had been staying indoors, living like a typical housewife, tending to household chores. But being confined inside had severely affected her mental health.While she suffered, there were people—no, two people—who were genuinely worried about her.Dicentra kept zoning out, her focus slipping again and again. She had been cleaning the table for nearly half an hour. It was a hectic Saturday night, with people crowding in. By around 3 AM, almost all the customers had left the bar.She snapped back to reality when she felt a tap on her shoulder.“You’ve been cleaning the same spot for almost half an hour, Di… Where’s your mind, buddy?” Louis leaned against the table, facing Dicentra, who let out a heavy sigh as she mirrored his stance.“I haven’t been able to reach Taylah… It’s been four or five months. I don’t trust the Dav

    By the time the meeting ended, it was already past 9 PM. Ethan had left the company before Arjan. Arjan couldn’t make it to college as he had been tied up in meetings with shareholders regarding their stock purchases.When he picked up his phone to check for any missed calls, he found several notifications and messages—some from his parents and others from Dia. Sighing, he rubbed his temple before dialing Dia’s number.She answered after a single ring."Arjan... Where are you? Did something happen at the company? I hope those old hags didn’t give you a hard time," Dia asked, feigning innocence.Arjan couldn’t help but smile at how considerate she was."It's fine, Dia... Just some internal conflicts. I'm just tired. I’ll get some rest once I reach the mansion. You should rest too. And don’t watch the news for now," Arjan said as he hopped into the car and started the engine."Why?""Nothing, just… you know how controversies about us keep circulating online. I don’t want you to be upset

    A victorious grin stretched against Dia's lips as if she won some game. She just hummed and got into the car without saying anything. It didn't go unwatched by onlookers. Sure enough, it would hit up another trending news in a few minutes. Arjan hopped into the car and hit the road. The ride was so silent, and they didn't break it until Arjan pulled the car over some lakeside. "You know you don't have to be so dramatic. Bringing me to the lake just to have some words," Dia sluggishly said. "Dia... Stop being irrational. Why are you ignoring me? From the text to the meeting, you ghosted me as if I didn't even exist," Arjan tried to hold back his frustration, but he failed to do so. He just banged the steering, cursing under his breath. A scoff. Yeah, Arjan heard a scoff from Dia. "Think of what you did, Mr Arjan Davier. Don't you think you have to explain something to me," Dia stomped out of the car, showing her anger through her actions. Arjan sighed defeatedly and got out o

    "Arjan..." Taylah's voice was barely above a whisper, her vision still blurry in the dim light. His face was shadowed, but before she could fully process what was happening, his lips crashed onto hers. Her pupils dilated in shock. She struggled against him, trying to push him away, but he was too strong. With ease, he pinned her wrists above her head, trapping her beneath him. His kiss was wild, rough, and forceful. The overpowering scent of alcohol on his breath made her stomach churn with nausea. "Arjan... you... you're drunk," she managed to say between his relentless kisses, her voice trembling. "Don't... don't do something you'll regret later..." She twisted beneath him, trying to break free, but his grip only tightened. He pulled away slightly, his dark eyes filled with something unreadable. Then, a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. "But you like it when I touch you, don’t you?" His voice was low, taunting. Taylah felt her entire body freeze. Fear and disgust twisted

    The sound of his breathing made her shudder. Even though he ate in silence, his mere presence felt suffocating. His existence alone was enough to threaten her to the core.“Looks like my brother is obsessed with you,” Arjan suddenly spoke, breaking the heavy silence. His deep voice sent an unsettling chill through her, making her shiver.“In these two months, Ethan has only been asking about you. Did you bewitch him too? Or do you have a secret relationship with him?” Arjan tilted his head, his piercing gaze locking onto her.Was he seriously accusing her of having an affair? Did he even care?He was openly indulging in his relationship with Dia, despite her being his brother’s wife. How disgusting. Their entire relationship was twisted. And yet, he dared to question her?Taylah remained silent. What was the point of explaining? It was useless—he wouldn’t believe her anyway. She was exhausted from trying to justify herself to someone who didn’t even care whether she was okay or not.H

    It had been two months since Taylah returned from her grandparents' home. Nothing had changed for her—she was still tormented by Arjan, enduring it silently. The morning was bright once again. A gust of wind rushed through the window, making the curtains sway in rhythm. Taylah was sleeping soundly in her room when the butler knocked on the door to wake her up. Slowly, she opened her eyes, rubbing them to adjust to the light. Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the room, while the soft chirping of birds filled the air like music to her ears. She stretched and pulled the blanket off herself. Over the past two months, Arjan had always left the mansion before she woke up and returned only after she had fallen asleep. Sometimes, he didn’t come back at all, choosing to stay outside instead. She knew exactly why he was staying out—it was for Dia. They didn’t even care about appearances anymore. When Taylah had told Arjan about her pregnancy, he had tortured her, furious
