Aaron’s tone lingered in the room long after he spoke, cold and unyielding, leaving Lumi with a growing sense of resentment she could no longer suppress.

The way he emphasized the child, as though nothing else mattered, stirred something deep within her.

She stared at him, her chest rising and falling as her emotions threatened to spill over.

“Do I not matter in this whole thing?” she asked.

Her voice was not loud, but it carried a weight that demanded an answer.

Aaron looked at her, his expre

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET REVENGE   Lines That Should Not Be Crossed

    Lumi did not wake up gently the next morning. Her eyes opened to a dull, persistent ache that settled deep in her head, the kind of pain that made even simple awareness feel like a burden. For a few seconds, she lay still, staring blankly at the ceiling as if waiting for the discomfort to fade on its own. It did not.A low groan escaped her lips as she pressed her palm against her forehead. “This is horrible,” she muttered, her voice dry and irritated. The pounding sensation seemed to respond to her movement, intensifying just enough to make her wince.Memories from the previous night began to return slowly, arriving in fragments rather than a complete picture. She remembered the bar, the loud music, Victoria insisting that she needed to relax, and the drinks she had foolishly agreed to. Then she remembered getting into a taxi, leaning against the window, and arriving at the estate. After that, everything became unclear, as though her mind had simply decided to stop recording.Her

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET REVENGE   A Night That Slipped Too Far

    One of the things Lumi told herself she would never do again—no matter how persuasive, no matter how harmless it sounded in the moment—was to follow one of Victoria’s so-called “relaxation ideas.”The thought repeated itself in her mind like a slow, regretful echo as she stepped off the bus, her balance just slightly off, her head buzzing in a way that made everything feel heavier than it should have been. The evening air brushed against her skin, cool and grounding, but it did little to steady the dull swirl inside her mind.“That was a terrible idea,” she muttered under her breath, pressing her fingers lightly to her temple as if she could physically push the discomfort away.Victoria had insisted.“It will help you loosen up,” she had said earlier, her tone bright and convincing. “You have been overworking yourself. One evening will not kill you.”Lumi had known better.She had known.And yet she had still gone.Now, standing by the roadside, she raised her hand and flagged down a

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET REVENGE   The Quiet Before the Unseen Storm

    Several days had passed since the project officially began, and to Lumi’s quiet surprise, the storm she had expected never truly arrived.After the confrontation with Sophia, she had braced herself for backlash. She had expected tension to rise in meetings, whispers to grow louder, or even subtle retaliation from colleagues who felt she had crossed a line. Instead, what followed was something far more unsettling.Silence.There had been a formal query issued regarding her behavior, but it had carried no real weight. It was written in the usual corporate tone, polite yet firm, outlining expectations of professionalism. However, nothing came after it. No meeting was scheduled, no reprimand followed, and no further action was taken. It was as though the matter had been acknowledged only to be quietly buried.Lumi found herself thinking about it more than she wanted to admit.“This is strange,” she murmured one afternoon under her breath, her eyes fixed on her screen while her thoughts

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET REVENGE   The Moment She Refused to Break

    For a brief, suspended moment after the slap landed, the entire office seemed to forget how to function.The sound had not just echoed physically, it had cut through the atmosphere with such clarity that it left no room for misunderstanding. Everyone had heard it. Everyone had seen it. And no one could pretend otherwise.Sophia stood frozen, her head slightly turned from the impact, her hand hovering halfway to her cheek as though her body had not yet caught up with what had just happened.Lumi stood in front of her, her posture straight, her breathing controlled, but her eyes no longer restrained.There was no hesitation in her expression anymore.No attempt to swallow what she felt.Sophia slowly turned her head back, her fingers pressing against her cheek as the sting fully registered. Her eyes widened, not just from pain, but from disbelief.“You…” she began, her voice shaking with fury. “You actually—”Her expression twisted, rage rising so quickly it overtook any composure she

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET REVENGE   When Silence Breaks

    The next morning did not come with clarity.It came with weight.Lumi woke up earlier than usual, not because she had slept well, but because her thoughts had refused to stay quiet long enough for rest to feel complete. The events of the previous night lingered in her mind, replaying themselves in fragments she could not fully piece together without feeling that same tightness settle in her chest again.She did not wait for Aaron.It was deliberate.Normally, their schedules aligned enough that leaving together had become an unspoken routine, something subtle and unnoticed by others. But today, she moved ahead on purpose. There was no discussion, no announcement, no acknowledgment of the shift.Just distance.As she stepped out of the estate and into the car, she muttered quietly under her breath, “I need space.”The words were not loud, but they carried enough intention to steady her.When she arrived at the office, something felt off almost immediately.It was not obvious at first

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET REVENGE   The Weight of Decisions Unspoken

    The silence at the dining table lingered even after Aaron had left, stretching into something uncomfortable and unfinished. It was not the kind of silence that followed a normal conversation ending, but the kind that followed disruption, the kind that left people searching for meaning in what had just been said but not fully understood.Lumi remained seated for a moment longer, her expression carefully controlled even though her thoughts were anything but still. Around her, no one seemed certain whether to speak or not, as though any additional word might only deepen what had already become unstable.Grandpa Elias was the first to break that hesitation.He leaned forward slightly, his expression softened with visible regret. “Lumi,” he began carefully, his tone unusually gentle, “I apologize if this situation has placed you in a difficult position.”There was sincerity in his voice, the kind that came from experience and genuine concern rather than formality. He had not intended for t
