"I know you're not just a maid; tell me, what's your relationship with Knight?" Glythe's words shattered the silence, each syllable a shard of ice piercing Eleanor's fragile composure.

A cold dread washed over Eleanor, her skin slick with a nervous sweat. Glythe's simple question felt like an interrogation, pinning her beneath its weight.

"The way Knight looks at you… I know you're more than just a maid, Eleanor. Tell me! Are you his… girl?" Glythe pressed, her gaze unwavering.

Eleanor swallowed hard, her throat constricting with mounting anxiety. She had barely begun to unravel the truth about Heyla, only to find herself ensnared in a new web of uncertainty.

What if she is Knight's fiancée? Why is my situation so impossibly complicated? Why am I trapped in this labyrinth of secrets and lies?

"Tell me," Glythe repeated, her voice laced with impatience, when Eleanor remained silent.

Words failed her. What could she say? If Glythe was, in fact, Knight's fiancée, Eleanor feare

    "How was the party? Why are you back at the hotel?" he asked next— that's when Lore remembered that Niro didn't know what happened— and he shouldn't know."Ah... I wasn't comfortable," she forced a reply."Well, where is my baby Lexus? Is he asleep already? I wanna see my baby boy," he said.Lore swallowed, briefly sighed, "Sorry, love, he's already asleep, and I want to rest now too." she lied, trying to evade the topic.Niro's smile suddenly vanished, but quickly returned as a forced smile, "Okay, don't forget your medicine."Lore nodded, and quickly said goodbye. She walked to the bedroom and found Lexus lying on the bed—he was truly asleep.She approached her son, gently stroking his hair. She was extremely grateful that nothing bad had happened to him, but how would she explain what happened to Niro? She was afraid of his reaction and that they might be sent home immediately.Whether she told him or not, the incident happened right in their hotel, so it was not unlikely that the

    Lore looked away, while Knight went back to feeding Lexus the ice cream, "After this, you should go to bed, baby." Knight said again."Hmm... hmmm... but what if –if my monster yaya came back?" the child asked, sounding scared. Knight held his shoulder, "Don't worry, tito Knight will come to rescue you." Knight answered.Tito? Just tito."You promise?" the kid asked again."I promise."Lore was just watching them when her cellphone suddenly rang, diverting her attention for a moment.It was Niro.She swallowed again, her eyes darting between her phone screen and Knight. She suddenly felt guilt, feeling like she was deceiving her husband.She wasn't doing anything wrong, but she felt different—she felt like she was betraying him.It rang a few more times. Until she failed to answer it."Your husband?" Knight asked, but Lore didn't look at him, "Where is he, why isn't he around in situations like this?""Hey!" Lore's voice slightly rose, "You don't have a right to question us. I'm being

    "I'll go..." Knight said goodbye again, quickly leaving before he was consumed by his intense feelings.As he descended to the lobby, he spotted the police who had just arrived. A security guard approached him. "Sir, we have turned the woman over," he said.Next, a police officer approached. "Are you the one filing the complaint, sir?" he asked.Knight nodded, while the other staff in the lobby, especially those who witnessed the chase earlier, just stared."Yes," he answered. "Well, it's a good thing you caught her before your son was taken," the police officer said, assuming he was the father of the child who was almost victimized. Knight raised an eyebrow at that."That woman is wanted in the neighboring city. She has been sought for a long time for kidnapping cases. Their modus is to hack online nanny agencies and then beat the real nannies to the punch, arriving first at the clients. Then they take and kidnap the child they are supposed to be looking after," the police officer ex

    Knight gently stroked the child's back. "Did she hurt you?" he asked.The child pulled away from the hug, so Knight wiped his cheek. "Yes... she hurt... me," he sobbed.Knight clenched his fist. Just then, Lore caught up, so he stood up from kneeling beside Lexus. "I'll be back," Knight said curtly.Lore didn't pay attention to him, busy hugging and calming her son.Knight turned away, then quickly ran, taking the stairs down again. He looked around for the woman who introduced herself as the child's nanny.He wasn't disappointed. She was about to exit the main lobby, so he immediately followed. She was walking quickly toward a parked van, but Knight was faster. Only a few meters away, he caught up to her and grabbed her shoulder—his palm sinking deep due to the intensity of his grip."Escaping," he said dangerously to the woman, who immediately struggled. But Knight was strong. "Security!" he shouted next.The security personnel who heard him quickly approached, just as the van final

    "Are you afraid your husband will see me holding your hand? But where is he?" Knight said casually, a question with a hidden agenda.Lore rolled her eyes at him. "Shut up! You simply have no right to touch me," she replied bravely and walked away.Since the man was here again, Lore decided to just leave and go home. She felt like she didn't belong in this place anyway.She didn't bother to say goodbye to Mr. Zelviamort, who had greeted her earlier.She walked straight ahead, feeling the man still following her."Hey!" Knight called out.She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and turned to face him. "Could you just—" she started."Can you just stay—" Lore didn't finish what she was saying when her phone suddenly rang.She looked at it; it wasn't Niro, or Valine. It was an unknown number.Despite that, she answered the call to avoid Knight. "Yes, hello," she said to the person on the other line."Ma'am, are you Mrs. Lorelei? The one who hired a nanny from the agency?" the caller began

    Zelviamort Group of Companies SoiréeWearing a black tuxedo, a black necktie, his hair neatly gelled, and his perfume unmistakable, Knight arrived at the exclusive Zelviamort party.Most attendees were high-profile businessmen, with others being partners he had collaborated with in the industry.They were accompanied by their respective wives or partners as their date for the night, making Knight simply shake his head.He went here alone.The host of the soirée, none other than Mr. Zelviamort, a businessman who owned companies involved in infrastructure, greeted him."Good to see you, Mr. Andrie. I thought you weren't going to make it, but look who's here!" he said cheerfully.Knight offered a fake smile. "Well, I might miss this if I didn't come," he replied.Mr. Zelviamort glanced around as if searching for someone. "So, where's your lady of the night?" he asked.Knight took a deep breath. "I don't need that."The other billionaire just laughed at his statement. "Well, you say so."
