The next day, the private dining room of the Pearl Magnolia... one of Linyang's most exclusive restaurants—was reserved for the special gathering. Daniel Lin had ensured complete privacy: no cameras, no reporters, and a full-course meal curated by the city's top chefs.Daniel stood at the far end of the jade-tiled room, his fingers working his cufflinks for the third time in five minutes.

Aria stepped into the sunlit dining room of her family estate, the warm aroma of fresh dumplings and jasmine tea wrapping around her like a familiar embrace. Her parents were already seated at the breakfast table, a spread of congee, pickled vegetables, soy milk, and sesame buns between them."There she is," her father said with a smile, lowering his newspaper.

It was all wrinkled from how hard he twisted the papers.she could still hear his words in her head. "I'd rather drown than sell myself to you.” he'd spat at her, with pure fury on his face.And yet she would. Whether he realized it or not, she already had. She had already found the cracks in his life and placed her terms right there in the gaps, he just hadn't accepted them. Yet.Aria smoothed the wrinkles on the papers and inhaled slowly. Ethan words had almost brought out the emotions she tried to hide with his words. The shame, guilt and fear. But she wouldn't let him, not when she hadn't accomplished what she wanted to yet.She walk

Adrian picked up his shirt from the bedroom floor and put it on."Where are you going?" Lisa asked confused, as to why he was dressing up. "I thought we would continue?"Adrian chucked, not looking at her as he fixed his tie. "I need to go home.""But I thought we could continue... I mean, I thought..." She trailed off, biting her lip.Adrian turned to look at her. He had to admit, Lisa looked beautiful laying down on the bed with just a robe covering her body.And for a moment, he almost climbed back into the bed with her."This was a mistake," he said.
