Alexander stood by the bed, holding her hand with a grip too careful to be indifferent.

He watched the nurse work probing for a new vein, the previous site still bleeding sluggishly and each time the needle touched Victoria's skin his jaw tightened by a fraction. His thumb hovered just at the edge of her wrist, not quite stroking, not quite still. When a thin line of blood tracked down her inner arm he felt something move through him that he had no interest in naming. His brow pulled into a har

    The TrapAlexander’s car screeched to a halt outside the mansion. He stormed through the front door like a man possessed, his eyes wild with fury and fear. The moment he stepped inside, he saw Vanessa standing in the living room, looking perfectly composed.He grabbed her by the arm, yanking her toward him roughly.“What you said — was it true?” he snarled, his voice shaking with barely contained rage.Vanessa’s eyes widened in feigned panic. “Alexander, I tried so hard to open the door! I swear! Someone pushed me aside and locked it from the inside. I couldn’t stop them!”Alexander’s grip tightened painfully on her arm. Without another word, he shoved her to the side so hard she stumbled against the wall. He didn’t even look back as he ran up the stairs, taking them two at a time.He reached the second floor and sprinted down the hallway toward Victoria’s room. Without slowing down, he kicked the door with brutal force. The lock shattered, and the door flew open with a loud crack.In

    Vanessa was sitting in the living room of Alexander’s mansion when she heard noises from the upper floor — footsteps that didn’t belong to any of the usual staff. Her body tensed immediately. She stood up and quietly made her way upstairs, her heels clicking softly against the marble.When she reached the second floor, she saw him.Win was standing in the hallway, looking around like he owned the place. The moment he saw her, a cruel smile spread across his face.“There you are,” he said. “You told me you were going to arrange the money. But you were lying to me again, weren’t you?”Vanessa’s heart raced, but she kept her face calm. “I’m telling the truth. I’m finding the money. Just give me a little more time.”Win stepped closer, grabbing her chin roughly. “Stop lying. I’m tired of your games. Don’t worry — tonight I’ll deal with you properly.”Vanessa’s mind worked fast. A wicked plan formed in her head almost instantly. She smiled sweetly at him, even as his grip hurt.“What if I

    The next day, Vanessa walked into Victoria’s room holding a large white garment bag. Two maids followed behind her, carrying boxes of accessories. The moment Vanessa entered, her eyes locked onto Victoria with a sharp, warning look.She placed the bag on the bed and unzipped it slowly, revealing an elegant white wedding gown inside.“Try it on,” Vanessa said coldly. “And behave. Because now that Alexander is in my hands, I can do much worse to you than before. Don’t test me.”Victoria didn’t reply. She simply stared at the dress for a long moment, then shifted her gaze toward the balcony. Her mind was a mess.Should I follow Lucas’s advice and prepare to run tonight?Or should I just wear this dress and act like Alexander’s pretty little bride?She was still lost in her thoughts when the door opened again.Alexander walked in. His eyes immediately went to the wedding dress spread across the bed. He looked at Victoria, who was still staring at it blankly.“Don’t you like it?” he asked.

    “Victoria! Open the door!”It was Alexander.Her eyes widened in fear. She immediately pushed Lucas toward the balcony.“Go!” she whispered urgently.Lucas looked at her, his expression serious. “I’ll be back. Tomorrow night.”“Lucas, go!”The banging on the door grew louder.“Victoria! Why is the door locked? Open it!”Lucas climbed over the balcony railing and jumped down to the lower floor without another word. Victoria watched him disappear into the darkness before quickly closing the balcony doors.Victoria quickly fixed her hair and clothes in front of the mirror. Her hands were still slightly trembling, but she forced herself to look calm. She took a deep breath, walked to the door, and opened it.Alexander stood there, looking irritated and suspicious. The moment the door opened, his eyes immediately scanned the room behind her.“Why was the door locked?” he asked sharply.Victoria leaned against the doorframe and looked at him with a blank expression. “What is it? Why are you

    It was two nights before the wedding.Victoria lay on her back in the large bed, staring at the ceiling like she always did. Her stomach had been making uncomfortable rumbling sounds for the past hour, but she ignored it. She had stopped caring about her body a long time ago.The room was quiet except for the faint sound of her own breathing. Then she heard voices outside.She recognized one of them immediately.Vanessa.Victoria didn’t move. She didn’t get up to check. She simply closed her eyes for a moment and let out a slow breath. There was no point in telling Alexander. What would she even say? That the same woman who killed her child was now back in his life? He wouldn’t believe her anyway. And even if he did… she no longer had the energy to prove her innocence. Both Alexander and Vanessa were the same to her now. She was done.She slipped out of bed quietly.The door to her room was no longer locked. Alexander had stopped locking it a few days ago, probably because he believed

    A week had passed since that night in the hospital.Victoria no longer kept track of the days. They all blurred together into one long, endless stretch of silence and numbness. She spent most of her time in the large bedroom Alexander had locked her in. Sometimes she would sit by the window for hours, staring at nothing. Other times, she would lie on the bed and count the tiny flower patterns on the ceiling until her eyes burned.She didn’t cry anymore.She didn’t scream.She didn’t fight.She simply existed.That evening, Alexander returned from work later than usual. The moment he entered the mansion, he went straight to her room. He didn’t knock. He simply pushed the door open and stepped inside.Victoria was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Her eyes were open, but there was no life in them. She was counting the small flower patterns again — 47, 48, 49…Alexander walked over to the bed and looked down at her. She didn’t turn to look at him. She didn’t greet him. Sh
