MasukChapter 5Elara acted normally, even though her heart pounded violently every time she thought about the documents that Dominic had mentioned and her escape plan.Along the way, she had learned one important thing in the Blackwood household: No one paid her any attention unless they needed something from her.So, she was going to use that to her advantage.For days, she played her role perfectly. She attended medical appointments, nodded through instructions, and thanked the staff politely, all while quietly memorizing schedules and patterns.She learned which guards changed shifts at night, which servants avoided eye contact, and which corridors were rarely used.She also learned something else: Dominic never checked on her unless it concerned the child. Although she could feel her heart flinch in pain, it was now bearable.One evening, her adoptive father called.Elara stared at the phone for a long moment before answering, because the sound of his voice had once meant safety, and n
Chapter 4The days following the pregnancy confirmation passed by in a flash, although each one left Elara more hollowed out than the last.The news of her pregnancy spread through the Blackwood household with alarming speed, and the shift in atmosphere was something worth noting.She was no longer ignored and treated like trash, but she was closely monitored like a wanted criminal.The doctors came and went, sometimes without warning, and the security quietly increased around her.Her meals were planned to perfection; her movements were recorded. Her sleep was subtly regulated, all under the careful explanation of protection.Everyone spoke politely, yet no one asked what she really wanted, because it was already assumed that her wishes did not matter. They only cared about the human being formed in her body.Before anything reached her, even as plain as drinking water, it had to be approved by Dominic or his immediate family members.He attended meetings with doctors and nurses as t
Chapter 3A month passed quietly in the blink of an eye, although to Elara it felt like an eternity, because every day carried a weight she had never known before.In the public eye, she was ‘the Mrs. Blackwood’ that everyone envied, dressed in elegance and surrounded by luxury, yet behind closed doors, she existed like a shadow that no one bothered to acknowledge.The servants were polite on the surface, but their eyes often lingered with judgment, and their whispers never fully disappeared. Some believed she had married far above her worth, while others assumed she was only here for money and the benefits that the Blackwood name brought.At family gatherings, the smiles directed at her were thin and practiced, and the conversations always drifted toward the same subject with practiced precision.“So, any good news yet?” Dominic’s mother was always the one to bring up the topic before others followed.“It has been a few weeks already. What is taking you so long? Is Dominic not workin
Chapter 2Elara did not get a wink of sleep the entire night, even though her body was exhausted and her eyes burned from holding back her tears.Every time she closed them, Dominic’s voice echoed in her mind like a broken recorder, steady and indifferent, as though he had been talking about an investment rather than a human being who had emotions.Once she gave birth, her role would be fulfilled. And that meant one thing: her service would no longer be needed.Just how did she find herself in that mess?When morning arrived, her heart already felt older, heavier, and painfully aware of the reality she had married into.Dominic returned to the bedroom just before sunrise, fully dressed and ready to leave, as though the night before had never happened at all. Her presence did not even shake anything in him.Elara felt like crying, but even her tears betrayed her. They could not come out no matter what.The man paused briefly when he noticed she was awake, but there was no discomfort in
Chapter 1Elara had always believed that marriage was meant to feel warm, even if love did not arrive immediately.She thought there would be patience, and perhaps a quiet kind of affection that would grow with time, especially since she had already given up so much just to stand where she was now.The massive bedroom was dressed in luxury, yet it felt colder than the marble corridors outside. The chandelier above cast a soft golden glow, but it did nothing to ease the tight knot in her chest.She sat on the edge of the bed with her fingers clasped together, her wedding dress still wrapped around her like a promise she was afraid to unwrap.Tonight was supposed to be the beginning of something she had not planned. The beginning of something that might make or break her.Dominic Blackwood stood a few steps away, loosening his cufflinks with steady, practiced movements. He did not look at her, not even once, and his expression remained as distant as it had been throughout the ceremony.
