Damien didn’t say a word, he let her kiss him without the slightest resistance, no mocking grin, just that still, unreadable expression he wore so well. He didn’t move, didn’t close his eyes, he just let her lead. It was strange, almost unreal to see a man like him, known for his dominance simply… allow.

But that was the thing, he wasn’t surrendering. He was observing and testing her but she didn’t even realize it.

Her fingers curled tighter around his tie, pulling him more closely into that kiss, her lips moving against his without pause. It was soft, urgent, and firm. It was a kiss that made no space for confusion because it wasn’t romantic. It wasn’t shy. It was a clear declaration that she wanted him in her plan.

When she finally pulled back, Damien blinked slowly. His head tilted a little, his eyes assessing her. He wiped a thumb across his lips, then gave a low, humorless laugh, as though still wrapping his head around what had just happened.

“Well, damn,” he murmured under his

    Lyriel and Sophia stepped outside, with Jerry following behind them, keys in hand. “I’ll drive you,” he offered. Lyriel turned and shook her head slightly. “It’s fine. It’s just an hour-long performance. I won’t be long.” Jerry hesitated, then nodded. “Okay. But be careful.” Just then, Sophia’s phone buzzed. She looked at the screen and let out a small gasp. “I need to go ahead, Lyriel” she said quickly. “Something came up. You still remember the venue, right?” Lyriel nodded. “Of course. We’ll meet there.” Sophia gave her a quick hug before jogging to her car. “Don’t be late, okay?” she called with a grin as she started the engine and drove off. Lyriel stood for a moment, watching Sophia’s car disappear down the road. She took a deep breath and turned to her own car, unlocking it. Just as she reached for the handle, a car with tinted windows pulled up in front of her. She stepped back, her brows furrowing. The passenger window rolled down, revealing a well-dressed ma

    Jerry drove quietly, checking the rearview mirror now and then to look at Ava in the backseat. She sat silently, watching the buildings as they passed.“Do you remember anything about where Sophia and Victor are?” he asked.“Can you take me to the orphanage? You know where it is, right?” Ava said, turning her eyes from the street to him.Jerry raised an eyebrow, glancing at her in the mirror. “The orphanage? Why not home?”“It will look real,” she said softly, still not looking up. “I’ll say I went to get ice cream, got lost trying to find the boutique, and ended up missing. The orphanage is the only place I remember well… they’ll believe that.”He nodded slowly, understanding what she was trying to do. She was smart for her age. No wonder Lyriel had wanted to adopt her before. Gripping the steering wheel, he focused on the road.A few minutes later, he stopped in front of a small ice cream shop.“I’ll be back,” he said, getting out of the car.Ava sat quietly, watching people walk b

    The atmosphere inside the luxury boutique was calm and elegant, just as always. As soon as Victor stepped through the glass doors, one of the assistants spotted him and hurried over with a bright smile.“Good afternoon, Mr. Maddox. Welcome back,” she greeted warmly. “The limited-edition cufflinks you asked about just arrived this morning… that’s why we called you in.”Victor gave her a confident nod and smiled. He was used to being treated like royalty here. This was his favorite boutique, a place filled with good memories. Mostly because it was where Lyriel used to bring him to shop… back when everything felt perfect.“Perfect,” Victor said. “We’ll take those. And bring out that silver bracelet for my daughter too.”Sophia, standing beside him, smiled faintly. She was enjoying herself, completely forgetting that Ava had quietly left their side the moment they alighted from the car.It wasn’t until much later, after they had picked out several outfits, shoes, and accessories that Soph

    Ava didn’t answer Lyriel’s question. Instead, she simply reached out and gently held her hand.The warmth of that tiny palm made Lyriel smile. Her eyes softened as she looked down at the little girl standing silently before her.With her other hand, she reached out and gently stroked Ava’s hair, her mind drifting back to the past.This child...This cute little girl used to be her whole world. In her previous life, before everything went wrong, Ava had been the one person who could make her smile without even trying. She had spoiled her endlessly—with toys, dresses, sweets… anything she wanted, Lyriel gave without hesitation.She still remembered how Ava used to sit in her lap and call her "pretty fairy,” how she’d cling to her arm and beg for her hair to be braided. The soft kisses she planted on Lyriel’s cheek to cheer her up.And she could never forget…These same tiny hands holding hers now, had once held her tightly the day Victor slapped her.When everyone else turned away, Ava

    Ever since Victor received that call from Lyriel, everything around him felt different. He hadn’t spoken to Sophia at all. Not even a word.He skipped lunch. Didn’t even glance at his food. Dinner too, he just ignored it.He lay flat on his back, eyes open, staring at the ceiling like he was searching for answers that weren’t there. But his mind wasn’t quiet. It was full of thoughts he didn’t want to think.He couldn’t stop hearing her voice.“Send my regards to your mom… Or is it Sophia’s mom?”Those words kept repeating in his head, over and over, hitting him like a hammer each time. Each time they echoed, something inside him trembled.He sat up suddenly, breathing a little faster than before. He blinked hard and muttered under his breath, "Just how much does she know?"He wasn’t just confused. He was shaken and scared."Is that why she’s been acting this way? Because of that?" he asked the empty room, his voice tired.He stood up and walked slowly to the window, folding his arms t

    Lyriel nodded slowly, and that simple gesture made Damien smile.Without a word, he leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her cheek before pulling back.“Let’s head back to the living room,” he said gently.She nodded again. They left the hidden study together, and as they stepped back into Damien’s room, the wardrobe rotated back into place, hiding the secret door like it had never been there.Damien walked over to his bed and picked up another phone.Lyriel tilted her head. “Wait… how many phones do you have?”Damien glanced at her and gave a small shrug. "I’ve lost count.""Why so many?”He shrugged again, saying nothing as they made their way to the grand sitting room.Once they were seated, Lyriel turned to him. “Have you eaten?”Damien leaned back and let out a quiet breath. “No… I’ve been too busy to even think about food.”Lyriel pouted cutely. “I’m hungry,” she admitted, resting a hand on her stomach.To her surprise, Damien stood up right away.“Where are you going?” she asked
