Amora's eyes blinked nervously. She still couldn’t believe what she had just heard from Regis.

His deep yet gentle voice made her heart pound wildly.

There was no denying that Regis’s confession deeply touched her heart. She never imagined she could change his view on the value of marriage.

“Aren’t you going to say something, Amora?” Regis asked, feeling like his confession had been in vain since she hadn’t responded.

“I-I ... I didn’t know I was that amazing,” Amora mumbled, still reeling from the shock.

She never expected to have such a big influence on Regis. Nor did she ever think he would be interested in her.

From the moment they first met, Amora had always tried to avoid drawing his attention. If she could escape, she definitely would.

But fate had other plans, bringing them back together in a different situation and drawing them closer for a very important reason.

“You are amazing because you managed to get my attention. You should be proud,” Regis remarked.

Amora pouted, but

    Regis chuckled softly. "Are you really that scared of not being accepted?" he teased."It's not that, but I …."Amora hesitated for a moment. She didn’t know how to express her fear of being overlooked by the members of the Lorenzo family. She could already imagine the disdainful faces of the elders looking down on her.‘Just imagining it feels overwhelming, how will I face them later?’ Amora thought as she sighed in exhaustion.“You don’t need to worry. They’re not as bad as you think,” Regis said as if he could read her thoughts.In truth, it was easy for Regis to get the approval of the elders. With his position as the first heir in the family, they wouldn't make things too difficult for him, as long as Regis could give everyone what they wanted.However, the people Regis was most concerned about were his father and grandmother. Both were strict and picky when it came to choosing a wife for him.Amora’s current status made it difficult for her to be accepted by his family, but Regi

    “Crazy! This is really crazy!” Regis shouted in his mind.The kiss that was growing more intense with Amora stirred a powerful turmoil within him. He had pinned her against the wall, his lips never leaving hers, completely intoxicated by the connection they shared.The memory of that hot night seven years ago ran through her mind.Their breaths became increasingly heavy until Regis finally pulled away, but he didn't stop there. Slowly, his lips traced down the elegant curve of her neck.“Sir, please stop…”Regis ignored the woman's plea, his lips continuing to explore her smooth skin, fueling his desire to hold her tightly.Amora bit her lip hard, trying to push him away. Her nails dug into his shoulder as Regis grew more intense.Regis’s hands grew bolder, slipping under Amora's shirt and touching sensitive spots that ignited a rush of emotions within her.Amora's knees felt weak. If her hands weren't braced on Regis's shoulders, she might have collapsed to the floor at that moment.

    Rayden's eyes widened, shining brighter. “M-Mom ... you’re not lying, right?”Amora nodded. “I’m not lying, Ray. But we might need some time to get used to each other. I hope you can do that too.”“So ... Uncle Lorenzo will be my dad?” Rayden mumbled, still struggling to believe what he just heard.“Yes, he will be your Dad after we ...,” Amora glanced at Regis for a moment, then continued, “... get married.”Rayden’s eyes sparkled. He found it hard to believe what his mother just said, especially since just hours ago, she seemed unsure when they talked about this.“Is what Mom said true, Uncle?” Rayden asked, looking directly at Regis.“Of course it’s true. I will be your father, Ray,” Regis replied, making Rayden so happy that he started to tear up.Amora rushed to hug her son. “Honey, why are you crying?” she asked worriedly.“It’s happy tears, Mom,” Rayden whispered, burying his face in her chest. He sobbed for a moment.Amora felt moved, realizing Rayden had worked so hard to hid

    Today, Rayden was finally allowed to leave the hospital. As promised, Regis came to pick up his son and Amora.“Do you need help?” Regis asked Amora, who was busy packing her things.Amora shot him a sharp look. Her lips were pursed in annoyance. After all, she was burdened with the items Regis had bought for her.“You shouldn’t have bought all this stuff yesterday. You should have just left it at home,” she complained.Regis only smiled, carrying Rayden on his back.Seeing this, Amora immediately said, “Ray, get down. You’re a big boy now! Why do you want to be carried?”Rayden's cheerful face turned gloomy. But Regis quickly defended him, saying, “It’s not his fault. I wanted to do it. Besides, he hasn’t been carried like this before.”Amora knew Regis wanted to show his affection for their son. “Don’t spoil him too much. He’ll get used to it,” she replied.However, Regis ignored her comment. He continued to carry Rayden out of the room.Amora let out a long sigh.“Let me carry the t

    “No need to feel burdened, Henry. I didn’t do it expecting thanks or an apology from you,” Amora said, noticing how difficult it was for Henry to accept the kind gesture she had just done.Henry let out a long sigh. “I know. I’m just surprised, Amora. But you really shouldn’t have done this. I’ll return the money. My mom would agree with me on this too,” he replied.Henry’s rejection deeply disappointed Amora. This was exactly why she hadn’t told Emma or Henry that she had already paid the hospital bill. But she hadn’t expected Henry to find out anyway.“Henry, maybe you don’t know me that well, but I’m sure your mom won’t return the money if she still considers me family,” Amora said, her smile growing with confidence.She knew Henry could afford to pay the hospital bill himself, but now Amora had a littl

    "Have you never been taught that it's rude to doubt someone without knowing them first?"Regis’s deep, cold voice sent a chill down Amora's spine. She could sense the restrained anger in his tone, so she hurried to end the conversation. The last thing she wanted was a fight breaking out in front of her."Um, Henry... I don’t think you need to worry about this. I know him very well. We're old friends," Amora quickly interjected, stepping in front of Regis, who had taken a step forward."Old friends?" Henry mumbled, not intimidated by Regis's piercing, threatening glare.Amora gave an awkward smile. "Yes, old friends," she confirmed, tightening her grip on Regis’s arm and signaling him not to escalate things.However, Regis wasn’t backing down. Amora had no choice but to use her ace in the hole, sweetly speaking in a soft, affectionate tone, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Honey. Let’s go. Don’t you have another appointment?""Who said—"Regis began to protest, but Amora shot him a sharp lo

    "Sorry for the trouble, Mark," Amora said to Regis's assistant, who had helped carry her and Rayden's luggage.They were standing on the front porch of Regis's penthouse. Mark had placed the bags in the middle of the room as Amora requested."No need to apologize, Ma'am. Is there anything else I can help you with?" Mark replied."I don't think so. Thank you, Mark," Amora responded sincerely."Well then, I'll take my leave," Mark said, preparing to go.Suddenly, Amora stopped him. "Would you like to come in for a drink, Mark?" she asked.Mark didn't answer right away. He glanced at Regis, who signaled him not to linger.Amora wasn’t trying to keep Mark around longer, but she felt awkward being alone with Regis. He was still acting cold toward her. During the trip, Regis had mostly talked to Rayden after their son woke up.Even when Amora tried to make conversation, he barely responded, making her feel like she had made a huge mistake, despite already apologizing.‘Ugh, so petty.

    The sound of Rayden's laughter filled the living room. Amora’s hazel eyes watched as Regis finally caught their son, who had been running around non-stop.Regis guided Rayden to sit on the sofa for a moment, then helped him grab a glass of water to quench his thirst and replaced his shoes with house slippers he had brought.Regis's small acts of care touched Amora. She thought he was acting like a dependable father, even though his sometimes indifferent behavior seemed like an effort to mask his emotions.When Regis turned around, he was once again faced with the woman who had stirred up his emotions today."Sorry, I didn’t mean to tease you earlier," Amora said, apologizing for her earlier behavior."No need to apologize. I know I pushed myself too hard trying to wear something that’s not really my style," Regis replied, maintaining his indifferent expression.‘Huh, he thinks he can freeze his heart by acting all cold like that,’ Amora muttered to herself, irritated by Regis's arrogan

    "T-That person ... isn't Grandma?!" Amora's mind reeled in shock.The woman who looked like an old lady was actually one of Diego’s men in disguise!Amora had been tricked. “So that means ... Regis ….”She bit her trembling lip hard. Regis had been right all along. This whole thing was a trap, set up by Diego’s men. Their one and only goal was to lure in Amora and Regis and eliminate them.Amora’s body trembled with dread as the truth hit her. Because of her stubbornness and ignorance, Regis had now become their main target.Several of Jack’s men, who had been lying in wait, finally stepped out of hiding and surrounded Regis, guns raised and ready.Back to Regis’s situation—Amora’s husband showed no sign of surprise at the ambush by Jack and his dozens of armed men.Jack, on the other hand, looked genuinely confused by Regis’s calm demeanor. “You already knew about the disguise?” he asked, aiming his gun right at Regis’s face.A cold smirk tugged at the corner of Regis’s lips. “That d

    "A trap?" Amora whispered, shocked. Once again, she had nearly made a foolish move.Regis gave her a small, knowing smile as he saw her surprised face. "I think from the very beginning, my father planned to target you for breaking your promise," Regis explained, sharing his theory with his wife.Amora’s face turned pale. She realized that her mistake had caused everything to spiral out of control. “But Regis … if this really is a trap, what about Grandma? I—”"I’ll count to ten! If you don’t come out, I’ll take it as your agreement to send Old Madam Lysander to the afterlife!" Jack shouted again, his threat loud and clear.Amora’s eyes widened in panic, her mind clouded by fear. She was terrified Diego’s men might actually carry out that threat if she didn’t come out of hiding.But Regis held her hand firmly and shook his head. “Leave everything to me, Amora,” he said, still trying to calm her down."But Regis ...."Sensing what she wanted to say just from her eyes, Regis continued, “

    "Aaaahhh!"Amora’s scream echoed through the forest, followed by a rapid burst of gunfire. Birds took to the skies in a frenzy, their alarmed chirps blending with the chaos as they fled their disturbed habitat.Her face went pale. For a moment, Amora thought she was going to die—right then and there. But she didn’t.“Re-Regis, you .…” Her voice cracked, disbelief evident in her eyes. She hadn’t expected Regis to throw himself in front of her, shielding her with his own body.Tears welled up in Amora’s eyes and started to fall. She thought Regis had taken the bullet meant for her—he wasn’t moving at all.But Regis was just in shock. His face was as pale as hers, convinced for a second that Jack had shot him. Yet, he didn’t feel anything aside from a small scratch on his arm.Slowly, Regis let go of Amora. He could see the fear in her hazel eyes, reflecting his own face. But now wasn’t the time for comforting words. His priority was making sure they were safe.As he looked around, Regis

    Finally, the taxi Regis was riding in came to a stop near a narrow trail that led into the mountains, surrounded by dense forest. Amora also asked her driver to stop, just a short distance behind the taxi ahead. She pulled out all the cash she had and handed it to the driver.“Sir, if you don’t mind, could you wait here for me? If I’m not back within fifteen minutes, please contact the authorities,” Amora said, her voice tense.The driver gave her a small nod after accepting the money. As soon as she stepped out of the car, the driver pulled out his phone and dialed a number.It didn’t take long for the call to connect, and a deep male voice came through the speaker—it was Alejandro Volker!That’s right—the taxi driver who had been taking Amora around was actually one of Alejandro’s men in disguise: Hank Watts.For the past week, Alejandro had sent Hank to tail Amora, using various disguises to monitor her every move and report back.Today, Hank happened to be undercover as a cab driv

    Mark's car had just pulled up at the arrival gate. He glanced at his young master, who was resting his eyes in the backseat.Regis looked exhausted. For the past two nights, he’d been tied up in a series of private meetings with Royal Dragon’s subordinates, carefully planning the strategy to take over the power held by Diego Lorenzo.At this point, Regis and a few of his loyal aides had managed to secure the support of some underlings willing to serve him. However, there were still others who refused, afraid of becoming the target of Diego’s wrath if their plan was ever exposed.“We’ve arrived, Young Master,” Mark said, gently waking his superior.Regis slowly opened his eyes and took a moment to assess his surroundings before stepping out of the car. Standing by the departure entrance, he spotted Albert waiting to greet him.“Have you found Old Madam Lysander yet?” Regis asked bluntly.“Not yet, Young Master. We have no idea where she’s heading. My team and I had to split up to searc

    The tension in the Royal Dragon leader’s office was palpable. Everyone’s face had gone pale when Pablo Varon returned with a report that darkened Diego Lorenzo’s expression.“What did you just say?” Diego asked, his tone cold and sharp.“I’m sorry, Boss. I failed to take Miss Lysander with me. The young master showed up and took her away first,” Pablo replied, bowing his head deeply.Diego stood from his chair and approached Pablo. He placed a hand on Pablo’s shoulder and gripped it hard.“How long have you worked for me, Pablo? And you still can’t handle a single woman? Are you trying to disgrace the name of Royal Dragon, huh?” Diego hissed, a cynical smirk curling his lips.Pablo could feel his boss’s rage and disappointment. “I’m truly sorry, Sir. I’m ready to accept any punishment,” he said, dropping to his knees in front of Diego.From the beginning, Pablo had known the risks of letting the young master’s wife go. He never once thought of escaping the consequences.“My ungrateful

    “H-How did you find out about this?” Amora mumbled, still feeling dazed.She had tried so hard to hide her pregnancy complications from Regis. She didn’t want his excitement over the baby to waver because of it.“You don’t need to know how I found out,” Regis said firmly. “All you need to know is that I’m never going to let you go, Amora.”His eyes burned with anger at his wife’s deception. But a few seconds later, his gaze softened.Regis took both of Amora’s hands in his and looked at her gently. A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he saw the regret in her eyes.He let out a quiet sigh and spoke gently, “I hope you won’t make the same foolish mistake again, Amora. I know my father crossed the line this time. But please, trust me … I’m going to stop him.”Amora’s hazel eyes were still wet with tears. “But how can you stop him, Regis? Grandma’s already been taken to the airport, and .…”Her voice cracked as her sobs took over. Seeing his wife cry, Regis actually smiled.

    “Regis, your father actually had a reason for doing all of this.”Amora’s words made Regis frown for a moment, but then he let out a short, dry chuckle.“A reason? What reason could he possibly have other than wanting to control his rebellious son?” Regis scoffed.Just like Amora once had, Regis had no idea about the real reason behind his father’s constant efforts to keep them apart.Seeing the hatred in Regis’s eyes whenever he mentioned Diego Lorenzo, Amora finally decided to share what Diego had once told her.She thought maybe—just maybe—it would help lessen Regis’s hatred toward his father. She could’ve easily kept it to herself, letting Regis continue to resent Diego as payback for everything that man had done to her.But her conscience wouldn’t let her pretend she didn’t know the truth.“Regis … your father did all this out of hatred and revenge toward my dad,” Amora said, leaving Regis completely stunned and confused.“What do you mean, Amora?” Regis asked, his gaze narrowing

    Seeing the deep regret on Amora’s face, Regis let out a sharp sigh. He hadn’t meant to scold her. He just wanted her to understand how her actions affected them both.Regis tried to keep his emotions in check, not wanting to lash out. He knew Amora was clearly torn and dealing with a difficult inner conflict.“Haven’t I told you time and time again not to carry everything on your own, Amora?” Regis reminded her gently.Amora didn’t respond. Her head remained lowered until Regis reached out, cupped her chin, and lifted her face so their eyes could meet again.The look in Regis's eyes, which looked shady and sad, made Amora feel both comforted and hurt because she felt guilty for hurting him with the divorce papers she’d filed.“I’m your husband, Amora. Didn’t we agree to face all our struggles together? Can’t you give me just a little time to prove that I can turn this around without asking you to sacrifice everything?” Regis asked, his voice soft but full of emotion.He still believed
