LOGINBefore Moza could step into the bathroom, Dastan walked over to the sofa and picked up a soft pink casual dress."This morning, I had Nuri fetch your clothes from the servants' quarters. You can wear this after your shower," he said, handing the dress over to her.Slightly taken aback by his unexpected thoughtfulness, Moza accepted the garment. With nowhere else to turn, she finally stepped into the bathroom. Beneath the warm, cascading spray of the shower, Moza tried to let go of all her built-up tension. The soothing heat made her body feel infinitely lighter and refreshed, as if washing away the lingering traces of yesterday's trauma.Once cleaned up, Moza slipped into the dress and hurried out. Upon stepping back into the bedroom, she felt a wave of relief washing over her; the chamber was entirely empty. Dastan was nowhere to be seen, leaving behind only the rich, expensive scent of his cologne filling the air.Wasting no time, Moza quickly left the master bedroom, closing the do
Moza felt the firm grip of Dastan’s hand on her shoulder. Her body felt like ice meeting fire—tense and cold, yet her back burned from the radiating heat of his frame.“I do not require assistance, Young Master. I can manage on my own,” Moza declined flatly. She refused to let herself become dependent on Dastan.Dastan’s hand did not budge. Instead, his grip tightened slightly, a clear sign that he would not accept her refusal. He leaned down a fraction, his breath brushing against her skin."If you can manage on your own, why are you walking as slow as a snail?” he asked with a sarcastic edge. "Do you even know how to turn on the bathroom lights?"Moza fell silent, all her arguments crumbling instantly.She was right. She didn't know. She was only familiar with the back servants' wing—a place that was simple and far removed from high-end technology.Suddenly, Dastan reached his right hand toward the wall beside the door.There, instead of a conventional switch that Moza was used to s
Before Moza could press any further, the sound of tiny footsteps pattering closer to the door echoed through the hallway. The ambiguous conversation cut off instantly; both Moza and Dastan knew exactly who was arriving.Dastan quickly stood up from his positions that was entirely too close to Moza, stepping around to the other side of the mattress.He divided and fluffed the large pillows, ensuring there was enough space for the three of them. Meanwhile, Moza pulled the bed cover tightly up to her neck, as if the thick fabric could shield her from the deeply uncomfortable situation.Sure enough, a light knock sounded at the door, followed by Abigail's sweet call. "Papa, I’m ready."Dastan quickly moved to unlock and open the door, revealing the little princess clad in light pink pajamas patterned with stars.As always, Abigail was clutching her favorite unicorn plushie. Without wasting a moment, Dastan took her tiny hand and led her inside, while Nuri, who had escorted her, was only p
Unconsciously, Moza drifted into a daze, weighing her new status as Dastan’s personal maid. The title sounded less like a promotion and more like a sentence inside a gilded tower, given how inherently dangerous it was to be anywhere near that man.Her thoughts ran so deep that she only snapped back to reality when Abigail affectionately rested her small head against her shoulder."Auntie Moza, I want to sleep here with you."Moza swallowed hard, reflexively glancing toward the door as if searching for an escape route that didn't exist. "But... Auntie has to return to her own room, Little Miss."Abigail immediately shook her head vigorously. "No! I want to sleep with you and Papa," she pleaded, her large eyes shining with hopeful anticipation.Moza was entirely at a loss for words. How on earth could she spend the night sleeping alongside Dastan?At that exact, critical juncture, the bedroom door swung open. Moza’s eyes widened. Her breath hitched in her throat as if she had just seen
On the other side of consciousness, Moza felt trapped within the depths of her own mind. She dreamed of making love with Dastan in an intimacy so warm and suffocating that it consumed her. The silhouette of his frame, the tender touch against her skin, and the raspy sound of his breath against her ear felt terrifyingly real.Over and over, Moza fought desperately to break free from the dream's hold. However, her body felt leaden and unresponsive, as if an invisible force held her down every time she tried to move. Finally, gathering every ounce of strength left in her, Moza forced her eyelids open.Her vision was still slightly blurred. Her head felt as though it were being crushed by a heavy stone, throbbing in a torturous rhythm. Moza squinted, trying to sharpen her focus, blinking several times until the silhouettes around her began to clarify.As her surroundings came into focus, a wave of confusion washed over her. The room was far too luxurious, far too unfamiliar, and explicitl
Fighting the hesitation in his heart, Dastan slowly unbuttoned the top of Moza’s pajamas. His large fingers undone each button one by one, then pulled the fabric down to her waist.Within minutes, Moza’s flawless upper body was exposed, covered only by a lacy black bra. Her pale, porcelain-smooth skin lay stretched before him, looking fragile yet utterly enticing.Dastan swallowed hard. The sight thoroughly stirred his deepest instincts as a grown man.He had always been a man who remained unswayed by temptation. In fact, due to this profound weakness, he had felt inadequate, failing to even sustain his marriage.Yet, for some reason, whenever he was near Moza, the part of him that usually felt completely numb reacted flawlessly.“This time you don't need medicine; you are the one who has to save Moza's life,” Dastan muttered to himself repeatedly.He leaned down, pulling Moza tightly against his bare chest. The skin-to-skin contact felt like a sudden jolt of electricity. His natural
