LOGINI woke up earlier than usual that morning because I had two singing engagements scheduled for the day. When I glanced to my side, Leonard was still fast asleep. I carefully climbed out of bed, making sure not to make any noise that might wake him.I was sick of his controlling behavior. I couldn't bear the thought of spending the rest of my life with a man like him. If I continued to endure this, who knew what would become of me in the years to come?After making sure Leonard was still asleep, I hurried to his study. My hands trembled slightly as I opened his laptop and began searching for the files that had been used to threaten me.It took me a while, but I eventually found a folder containing intimate videos of Leonard and me, along with all my private photos.I stared at the screen, my chest tightening as tears streamed down my cheeks."Delete everything."Without hesitation, I deleted every file I could find. Once I was certain they were gone, I let out a long, shaky breath.A sm
“This is the women’s restroom. What are you doing here, Leonard?”“What else would I be doing? I came to see my wife,” Leonard replied casually. Yet the look in his eyes was anything but calm.“Leonard, please leave. If someone finds us in here together, we could end up in the news,” I pleaded.“And what’s wrong with being seen with me?” he sneered. “Or would you rather be seen with Dominic?”“That’s not what I meant, but—”“But what?” he cut me off sharply. “You’re my wife, Isla Grace. Don’t think that just because you’re earning your own money now, you can start disrespecting your husband!”Panic immediately set in. His voice was loud enough that someone outside might hear us.“Leonard, let’s talk about this at home. Please,” I begged in a low voice.“I’m not going home unless you come with me.”“But the event isn’t over yet.”“I don’t care. If you want to stay, then stay. But I’ll wait for you until you’re ready to leave with me.”I let out a long sigh. Arguing with him now would o
I never imagined that a woman who had once spent her days confined to the kitchen and doing household chores would one day attend an event filled with influential and accomplished people.Even though I was dressed in an elegant, expensive outfit, I still couldn't shake off my nervousness. I felt a little out of place among the guests, most of whom came from wealthy backgrounds."Don't worry, Isla Grace. I'll stay by your side the entire time," Aria said, gently holding my hand."Thank you so much, Aria.""Come on, let's greet Aunt Yukio first. After that, we can enjoy all those delicious-looking cakes."I held back a laugh. Neither of us had managed to eat dinner because Aria had taken so long to get me ready.The company had already arranged a professional team to prepare me for the evening. However, Aria insisted on doing everything herself. She was always more satisfied with her own work.Just as we were about to enter, a middle-aged man approached us."Please come in. Mrs. Yukio h
I couldn't help feeling satisfied after finally shutting Leonard up. He had been picking fights with me all evening, as if I had nothing better to do than deal with his jealousy.However, my satisfaction didn't last long. Without warning, Leonard pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly.I was caught off guard, especially when he rested his chin on my shoulder."Isla Grace, can we stop fighting?" he pleaded, his voice surprisingly gentle.I remained silent for a moment before letting out a soft scoff."You're the one who started it, Leonard.""I know. I'm sorry." His arms tightened around me slightly. "Honestly, I'm just too jealous. I don't like seeing netizens pairing you with other men."I raised an eyebrow."So you finally admit it.""Stop teasing me.""Don't you think you deserve it?"Leonard sighed, but this time, he didn't argue back. Instead, he released me and looked at me with a calmer expression."You must be tired, right? Come on, let's get some sleep."I studied him
“If that’s the case, then you have to start packing my lunch, too!”Leonard’s words caught me off guard. However, rather than risk him causing another scene, I finally nodded.“Dad also said that from now on, the two of us are required to come home every Saturday night for dinner,” Leonard added.“I can’t promise that. My schedule is going to be quite busy.”“You already know how busy your schedule is, yet you still have time to cook for Dominic?” Leonard exclaimed.“Are you jealous?” I teased.“No!” he snapped before walking away.I had no intention of chasing after him or trying to coax him into a better mood. Let him experience what it felt like to be ignored.Even so, I still prepared lunchboxes for both Dominic and Leonard.Regardless of my personal feelings, I refused to use them as an excuse to act childish.Today, I had a skincare commercial photoshoot. The moment Aria and I stepped out of the car, we were greeted by a crowd of fans waiting outside the building.“Isla! Look ov
The company eventually issued an official clarification through its social media accounts. Dominic and I were not a couple. We were simply good friends outside the office.The statement had been planned from the very beginning. However, according to the strategy we had agreed on, Vivian immediately instructed her team to stir up the couple fandom.They deliberately leaked Dominic's second social media account, one that very few people even knew existed. Surprisingly, the account was filled with photos of the meals I had prepared for him—almost every single day.Within minutes, social media was buzzing again.Netizens began recalling my livestream from a while back, when I had casually cooked for fun. They started matching the dishes I had made during that livestream with the photos posted on Dominic's account."Seriously, all it took was one little trick to cause this much chaos. Your name is climbing the search rankings again!" Aria exclaimed, showing me her phone.I sighed."What I
