May isang sandali sa buhay ng tao na tumitigil ka nang maghintay.Hindi dahil may dumating na tutulong sa’yo.Kundi dahil napagod ka na umasa.At sa sandaling ‘yon—Ikaw na mismo ang nagiging sagot.Hindi ko na binibilang ang araw.Hindi ko na binibilang ang oras.Ang binibilang ko na lang ay ang kilos ni Renxiao.Kung paano siya huminga kapag nagsisinungaling.Kung paano siya umiwas ng tingin kapag ma

The Cold Billionaire’s Bought Wife Chapter 117: Two Sons, One Original Memory
The door continued to open.A low mechanical sound echoed throughout the Memory Sanctuary, followed by a faint vibration beneath their feet. The light coming from the narrow opening slowly spread across the floor, revealing a corridor that none of them had seen before. Unlike the other sections of the facility, this place did not look abandoned. Its walls were clean, its lights were still functioning, and the glass panels on either side reflected the figures standing before the entrance.Yuhei could barely move.His eyes remained fixed on the words displayed above the doorway.FAMILY MEMORY ARCHIVE: UNLOCKED.TWO SONS. ONE ORIGINAL MEMORY.He had read the message several times, hoping that perhaps he had misunderstood something. But the words remained unchanged, as if the system itself was waiting for him to accept what had just been revealed.Elijah was his father's first child.His brother.The thought felt unfamiliar, almost impossible to believe. For years, Yuhei had known Elijah
The Cold Billionaire’s Bought Wife CHAPTER 116: THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS FATHER
The moment Valerie stepped into the corridor, nobody moved. Her presence seemed to change the atmosphere of the entire sanctuary. She looked calm, almost welcoming, as if she had simply returned home after being away for a few days. But Yuhei knew better. There was something unsettling about the way she looked at him, particularly the faint smile that appeared whenever their eyes met.Mira stood several feet away from her sister, unable to hide the emotions crossing her face. There was disbelief, anger, and something Yuhei couldn't quite understand. Perhaps it was the pain of seeing someone she had mourned for years suddenly standing in front of her.“Valerie,” Mira finally whispered.Her younger sister tilted her head. “You still remember my name. That's good.”“Don't act like nothing happened.”Valerie's smile slowly disappeared. “I wasn't expecting a warm welcome, but I thought you would at least ask how I've been.”“You know exactly what I want to ask.”“Then ask.”Mira stepped fo
The Cold Billionaire’s Bought Wife CHAPTER 115: THE RETURN OF VALERIE
The monitor remained black after Valerie's message ended. Nobody spoke, and nobody seemed willing to move. The name itself had already changed the atmosphere inside the sanctuary. Mira stood in front of the screen, her eyes fixed on the reflection of her own face. For years, she had believed her sister was gone. She had accepted the possibility that she would never see her again, even if a small part of her had always refused to believe it.Now Valerie was standing somewhere inside the facility.Alive.And apparently, she had been waiting for this moment.“Mira,” Yuhei called softly.His mother didn't respond.He approached her carefully. “Who is she?”Mira finally looked at him. Her expression was difficult to read, but Yuhei could see the fear behind her eyes.“She was my younger sister.”“Why didn't you tell me about her?”“Because I thought she was dead.”Yuhei glanced toward the monitor. “But she knows about Winter. She knows about this place. And she knows our family.”Mira nodd
The Cold Billionaire’s Bought Wife CHAPTER 114: THE NAME BENEATH HIS MEMORY
The Winter Core came alive.A deep mechanical vibration traveled through the sanctuary, making the glass panels tremble. The lights above them flickered repeatedly, while the monitors displayed hundreds of rapidly changing symbols. Yuhei remained beside Elijah, holding his shoulders as the latter slowly lifted his head. Something about his expression had changed. His eyes were open, but the familiar warmth that Yuhei had always recognized in them was missing.“Are you okay?” Yuhei asked.Elijah didn't respond.“Eli?”The name seemed to reach him. His eyes shifted toward Yuhei, and for a brief moment, the familiar expression returned. But it disappeared almost immediately when he looked toward Elias.“You came back,” Elijah whispered.Elias smiled. “Of course I did.”Yuhei's grip tightened around Elijah's shoulder. “What did you do to him?”“Nothing that wasn't already inside him.”“Stop speaking in riddles.”Elias looked at Yuhei with an almost amused expression. “You still have your
The Cold Billionaire’s Bought Wife CHAPTER 113:THE THIRD ARCHITECT
For several seconds, nobody moved.The room seemed to become smaller after Mira's warning. Yuhei's eyes remained fixed on Elijah, trying to understand why his mother had suddenly pointed at him. Elijah stood near the doorway, completely silent, while Leon and Riven looked between them with confusion written across their faces. Orion, on the other hand, didn't look surprised.That was what frightened Yuhei the most.“You knew,” Yuhei said quietly.Orion looked at him.“I suspected.”“Suspected what?”“That Elijah was connected to Winter.”Elijah's expression immediately hardened. “That's a lie.”Mira slowly stepped away from the central chamber. “No. Orion isn't lying.”Elijah shook his head. “I don't know what you're talking about.”Yuhei stared at him. “Then why did my mother tell me to look at you?”“I don't know.”His answer came too quickly.Riven noticed it too. He moved toward the nearest console and began searching through the sanctuary's database. “Give me a second.”Elijah lo
The Cold Billionaire’s Bought Wife CHAPTER 112:THE WOMAN BELOW
The hidden door slammed shut behind them, leaving the five of them trapped inside the narrow chamber. The sound of the metal locking into place echoed through the underground facility, followed by an uncomfortable silence. Yuhei remained frozen in front of the staircase, staring at the darkness below. The voice he had just heard was still playing inside his mind.Mira.His mother had spoken to him again.Not through an old recording.Not through a damaged file.It had sounded real.Alive.“Did you hear that?” Elijah asked quietly.Yuhei nodded without taking his eyes away from the staircase. “Yes.”Leon immediately approached the sealed door and tried the emergency release. Nothing happened. He pressed the control again, harder this time, but the panel remained completely dead.“Locked from the other side.”Riven was already examining the wall. “There isn't an electronic access point anymore. The entire section has been isolated.”Yuhei finally turned around. “Can you open it?”Riven
