My gaze remained fixed on her as my pulse quickened.

For a moment, I forgot we weren’t alone, that dozens of eyes were watching us.

Her grip was firm, then she stepped ahead of me.“Elian, I don’t know where you got this misinformation from…” she began, her voice steady as her fingers brushed gently against mine. “We’re deeply in love, he’s the best thing that has…”“Spare me.” Elian cut her off with a low chuckle, the sound grating. “We both know this marriage was nothing more than a strategic move; expansion into regions where Starlight is weak.”He paused, as his brows knitted slightly.“Although… now that I think about it, Starlight is already more established than…” His eyes shifted to me. “…your so-called Enthalice.”My breath hitched.Who exactly is this man?“And how do you know all this?” Liora asked, confusion threading through her voice.Elian only smiled… the kind of smile that mad

Today, I would finally find out who this Elian Rhodes was… and what exactly he wanted from me. Just then, Derek stepped out, already suited up. His gaze softened the moment it landed on me, and without a word, we headed out together. He guided me to the car, opening the door like always. I slid in, and he shut the door gently before moving to the other side. Moments later, the engine roared to life. The car came to a smooth stop in front of the hospital building. Derek stepped out first, then opened my door. I stepped out, and together, we walked inside. At the reception, Derek’s voice was firm. “We’re here to see Dr. Elian Rhodes.” The receptionist nodded politely, glancing at her screen before pointing down the hallway. “Third door on the left.” We thanked her and continued. When we finally reached the office, Derek pushed the door o

The impact snapped Dylan’s head sideways, his hair shifting with the force as his body staggered a step back.Dylan slowly brought a hand to his jaw, rubbing it as his father’s voice echoed:Control your temper.“Don’t just stand there, separate them!” Elara shouted, her voice sharp despite her weakness.But no one moved, they simply watched.Elara struggled, pushing herself up from the bed, ignoring the sharp pain that tore through her body.

Stephanie gently held Bianca in her arms, fast asleep.“So he’s the one who did that to Elara and Lucien?” James muttered under his breath, leaning slightly toward Anderson.Anderson gave a slow, reluctant nod.At that moment, Elara stirred, her eyelids fluttered open as she slowly regained consciousness. But the instant her gaze landed on Dylan standing before her, her eyes widened in fear.“Please… I didn’t mean to tell,” she pleaded weakly from the bed, her voice trembling.Stephanie and the others immediately moved closer.“Elara, I’m here,” Stephanie said softly, sitting beside her.But Elara’s eyes never left Dylan.Dylan exhaled, stepping forward slightly.“I’ve been here… waiting on my feet for you to wake up,” he began quietly. “Everything I did to you and Lucien… it was wrong and unfair.”“No… it’s fine,” Elara cu

Or… is this because of yesterday?Before I could say anything, my phone began to ring. I pushed myself up quickly and grabbed it; it was an unknown caller.“Who the hell…” I muttered under my breath before answering.“Hello ma’am, you haven’t arrived yet.

I’ll be there shortly.”I ended the call without waiting for a reply and checked the time.“They’re right… I’m late.”I rushed toward the bathroom, Derek's voice barely registering behind me.After a quick shower, I steppe
