The afternoon rain fell steadily, soaking the asphalt road in front of the gallery and reflecting the glow of shop lights that were beginning to turn on. The scent of wet earth mingled with the aroma of freshly brewed hot coffee, filling the first-floor room, which was now almost completely organized.

Lyonna stood behind her worktable, her fingers deftly applying the final touches of paint to a medium-sized wooden frame. Every few minutes, her eyes unconsciously drifted toward the display windo

  • Plus-Size Substitute Wife: 100 Days Before I Abandon Him   Chapter 111

    The morning in the metropolitan art district greeted the world with a stretch of gray sky hanging low overhead, spreading a chill that seemed to pierce the skin. Inside Lyonna's independent art gallery, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee beans mingled with the distinctive scent of paper from the new exhibition catalogs. The spotlights on the ceiling had been switched on early to compensate for the morning sunlight hidden behind the overcast clouds. Lyonna stood near the administrative desk, reviewing the VVIP guest list for the international exhibition, which was only days away. Her mind was at ease, filled with positive anticipation as she welcomed a new chapter in her career, along with the emotional peace she had found with Darren. Their relationship now rested on a mature and equal foundation, built upon a strong sense of mutual trust. However, peace was never meant to last without being tested. The gallery's main glass door slid open, accompanied by the chime of a small bell

    The independent art gallery stood majestically in the heart of a bustling metropolitan art district, surrounded by rows of modern architecture featuring steel frames and enormous glass facades that reflected the ceaseless glow of city lights. Outside, the hustle and bustle of corporate vehicles blended with the rumble of urban activity, creating a familiar nighttime symphony for those living in a major city. However, inside the quiet main exhibition hall, the atmosphere was strikingly different—peaceful, warm, and filled with a soothing silence.Lyonna stood near the main exhibition wall, adjusting the placement of the spotlights illuminating a large-scale abstract canvas. The long, classic-cut cream dress she wore blended perfectly with the elegance of the gallery's interior.The sound of unhurried footsteps approached from the rear staircase. The distinctive scent of masculine cologne reached her senses before Darren appeared, dressed in a charcoal evening suit without a tie, giving

    That afternoon, Lyonna's art gallery was filled with a group of visitors from the capital's elite social circles who had come to browse the latest collection of contemporary art. The scent of expensive perfume and the sound of artificial laughter filled the main exhibition floor.Lyonna, still dressed in casual yet elegant attire, stood near the information desk while checking the freshly printed exhibition catalogs. Her curvaceous, full-figured body—a distinctive feature of her natural beauty that had always made her look confident and captivating—was complemented by a simple, warm brown dress.In another corner of the room, Darren had just finished taking a phone call from the head office. The man stood some distance away, allowing his wife to move freely as she attended to the guests without being distracted by his presence. However, Darren's eyes never truly left Lyonna.Near the main painting display, three women dressed in designer outfits stood together, their arms adorned with

    The sound of the knocking from outside had left Lyonna's heart pounding, and her pulse had yet to return to normal inside her private office. After finishing the paperwork for the logistics delivery with the staff member at the doorway, Lyonna immediately closed the thick wooden door and locked it from the inside.Her breathing was still ragged, echoing through the room, which suddenly felt unbearably small. She turned her back to the door and leaned against it, closing her eyes for a moment as she tried to calm the wild rush of blood coursing through her body. The passionate kiss from a few minutes earlier had left a strange yet intoxicating tingling sensation on her lips.Before Lyonna could steady her breathing, a shadow suddenly moved toward her.Before she could step away from the door, a strong hand gently yet firmly grasped her wrist, pulling her around. In the blink of an eye, Lyonna's back was once again pressed against the closed door, while Darren's tall, solid frame blocke

    The afternoon air inside Lyonna's private office suddenly felt much warmer than usual. The soft glow of yellow lights filtering through the gaps in the window curtains cast gentle shadows across the teak desk. The distant rumble of vehicles from the streets outside seemed to fade away, as though deliberately retreating to make room for the intimate silence settling between the two people in the room.Darren was still standing very close beside Lyonna's office chair. The scent of his masculine cologne, mingled with the fresh fragrance of his skin, filled Lyonna's senses, creating a subtle sensation that made her heartbeat race far beyond its normal rhythm.There were now only a few inches between them. Darren leaned forward slightly, resting one hand on the wooden backrest of Lyonna's chair while slowly reaching out with the other to brush aside a strand of hair that had fallen across his wife's forehead.Lyonna looked up, intending to voice a protest or make a lighthearted joke to eas

    The sound of Darren's leather shoes echoed sharply across the gallery's wooden floor, cutting through the tension creeping between Lyonna and Viona. His arrival instantly made the air in the room feel thick and oppressive. Darren's expression was cold and unfriendly, his eyes radiating absolute authority that instinctively made Viona take half a step backward.Darren wasted no time. He positioned himself beside Lyonna, placing one arm protectively behind his wife's back without actually touching her. His gaze fixed on Viona as though the woman standing before him were nothing more than an intruder who needed to be removed immediately."What are you doing here, Viona?" Darren's voice was deep, carrying an unmistakable undertone of threat.Viona tried to maintain her sarcastic smile, although a flicker of panic briefly crossed her eyes. She adjusted the position of the handbag hanging from her shoulder, attempting to speak with an air of forced arrogance."I just wanted to congratulate
