Rayden looked back at his mother and asked, “Mom, is it possible for two people to look so much alike even if they’re not blood-related?”

Amora smiled faintly. “I once read that every person has seven doppelgangers in the world, people who aren’t related to them at all. But honestly, I’ve never been sure since I’ve never seen it myself,” she replied.

Rayden nodded thoughtfully. Earlier, he had read a similar article, but the question still lingered in his mind. Was his resemblance to Regis mere coincidence, especially given their significant age difference?

Before Rayden could ask more, his mother preemptively addressed the question forming in his mind. “But you and Regis might resemble each other not because you have no blood relation, Ray.”

The statement that fell from his mother's lips did not surprise Rayden too much. However, he was at a loss for words to express his feelings.

A sigh slowly escaped Amora's nose as she reached for her son's tiny hands, which felt very cold when sh

    Amora tossed and turned repeatedly on the bed. Even though her eyes were closed, she was still wide awake with unease. Finally, she got up and switched on the bedside lamp.She glanced briefly to her side. Regis still hadn’t come into the room, even though it was getting late—already half past ten.“Is he not sleeping here tonight?” Amora wondered to herself.Sometimes Regis didn’t sleep in their room, choosing instead to work late and rest in his study.Sitting on the edge of her bed, Amora looked visibly exhausted, yet her earlier conversation with Rayden still lingered in her mind.Worry over Rayden’s anger weighed heavily on her, making it impossible to fall asleep that night.“I hope Ray can understand that no one thinks he’s worthless,” Amora thought, reflecting for a moment. Then, she prayed silently, asking for her son’s heart and mind to be open to the truth, forgiving both her and Regis.After praying, Amora sighed deeply. Her throat felt dry, so she reached for the glass of

    "Why are you stammering like that, Amora? That's strange," Regis said, narrowing his eyes as he studied his wife, who seemed oddly hesitant in front of him."Are you feeling sick?" he asked, placing a hand on Amora’s forehead again."No fever," Regis muttered after sensing her temperature was normal.Amora gently pushed his hand away. "I’m not running a fever," she replied.Her eyes darted to the floor that Regis had just cleaned. "Sorry for troubling you," Amora murmured softly."You don’t need to apologize, Amora. It’s just a small matter. Besides, isn’t it okay for a husband to help his wife?" Regis responded casually.Amora smiled faintly and nodded. "I felt a little dizzy earlier and accidentally dropped the glass. Thank you for helping me clean up," she said gratefully.Regis walked around the sofabed and sat beside her. "Are you still dizzy now?" he asked with concern evident in his eyes."A little. My stomach also feels a bit crampy," Amora admitted, her face slightly pale."H

    “Amora.” Regis’s voice softly reached Amora’s ears.Amora slowly opened her eyes. Even though her vision was blurry, she could make out Regis standing there with several shopping bags in his hands.“Did you go shopping?” Amora asked in a hoarse voice.“I went to get you some pads and pain relievers from the pharmacy nearby,” Regis replied, placing the bags beside the bed.Amora was stunned. Was this man a divine answer to her prayers?Just a moment ago, she had thought Regis might not want to be near her because of her period. But here he was, quietly taking care of everything she needed.Tears welled up in Amora’s eyes again. She was deeply moved by her husband’s kindness and thoughtfulness.“Amora? Are you in a lot of pain?” Regis asked, mistaking her tears for discomfort.Amora didn’t respond, just nodded slightly.“Do you want to put on a pad first? After that, you can take the pain reliever and get some rest,” Regis suggested.Amora nodded again and got up from the bed with Regis

    "Oh my gosh!"Amora was startled to see sunlight flooding her entire room. After sleeping soundly for what felt like an eternity, she had just opened her eyes.Her eyes widened in shock as her phone screen displayed the time—already past seven o'clock. Without hesitation, she jumped out of bed.Running a hand through her tousled hair, she paused when a sharp pang of pain struck her stomach. She stopped for a moment, steadying herself before continuing toward the bathroom.After rushing through her morning routine as quickly as possible, Amora stepped out of the bathroom only to find Regis standing in front of her bathroom door"Good morning," Regis greeted her with a bright smile, looking completely relaxed despite Amora feeling bombarded by the ticking clock."Morning," Amora replied, confused. He was still in his casual clothes when he should have already left for work."You’re still here? Don’t tell me Ray isn’t awake yet," Amora guessed, her tone growing anxious.Regis chuckled so

    The corners of Regis’s lips curved slightly. “Of course, there is. I’ll never forget how you treated me like a disposable escort,” he teased.Amora was stunned and stammered nervously, “I-I already told you, I was just scared you’d—”Regis smirked. “Come after you to kill you?” he interrupted, deliberately provoking her.Amora’s face went pale instantly. She could never forget the fear she felt back then.“Sorry, I was just kidding,” Regis chuckled lightly.Amora clicked her tongue in annoyance. “That’s not funny, Regis. Honestly, did you actually want to kill me?”“If you had asked me back then, I probably would’ve said yes.”Regis’s sharp gaze made Amora uneasy. She regretted asking, but Regis continued, “After our intimate night, I got into an accident that left me in a coma, and I lost some of my memories.”Amora’s jaw dropped. “You mean … you don’t remember that night?”Regis nodded. “My memories were a mess for the past seven years, but now I think I’ve finally pieced everything

    The sound of running water echoed faintly from behind the glass shower door. Moments later, Amora stepped out, wrapping herself in a towel. She quickly dried her hair and began her meticulous routine of applying makeup and styling her hair.Amora walked into the walk-in closet and picked up the dress that Nicky Lambert's assistant had just sent her this morning. She looked at herself in the full-length mirror in front of her.A satisfied smile curled her lips as she observed how the black metallic sequined off-shoulder dress hugged her curves perfectly.The knee-length cut not only made her look stunning but also added a touch of undeniable allure. She deliberately left her wavy hair loose to enhance her bold appearance.Tonight was a special occasion: Chelsea Harrison’s engagement party. Amora intended to attend and present an exclusive gift as a show of her "concern" as a former best friend.The corners of Amora's lips lifted in a cunning manner. She looked at herself in the mirror

    [Where are you now?]Amora smiled faintly as she read the incoming message from her best friend, Estelle Mauverick. Estelle was clearly impatient, eager for the big surprise she had planned.Amora replied, [I just arrived. Enjoy the food first.]She put her phone away as Albert opened the car door for her."Thank you, Mr. Parker," Amora said politely.Albert nodded and bowed slightly in response."I’ll call you when I’m done. Meanwhile, double-check the delivery status of the gift. Make sure to inform me as soon as it arrives," Amora instructed Albert."Understood, Ma’am," Albert replied, standing firmly to ensure Amora entered the venue safely.They were outside a luxury hotel where the prestigious Rowan family was hosting an engagement party for their eldest son, Gilbert Rowan, and Chelsea Harrison of the well-known Harrison family.The media presence was notable, with cameras flashing to cover the high-profile event. Some of the journalists were undoubtedly there under Estelle's di

    The corners of Amora’s lips curled into a mocking smirk. She fixed her gaze on Miranda’s husband with a condescending glare.Anger boiled in her head. She wanted nothing more than to slap that pufferfish-like face of his, but she restrained herself, trying to stay composed.Her purpose in attending this event wasn’t to make more enemies, but to pay back Chelsea. Unfortunately, Amora couldn’t just sit idly by while being insulted and treated like slut by the man standing before her.“Looks like he needs a lesson,” Amora thought to herself.She hadn’t planned to waste her time on trivial matters, but she figured Jordan Ramirez wouldn’t stop bothering her if she didn’t act.A sly idea suddenly crossed her mind to deal with the sleazy man. Her fingers fiddled with her phone for a moment, she then slid it back into her handbag.With calculated indifference, Amora plucked a single cherry garnish from the top of her cocktail and bit into it in a mesmerizingly graceful motion.Jordan’s face g

    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

    Regis and Amora had just entered their rented house, but Regis was still gripping his wife’s wrist tightly, causing her to wince in pain.“Regis, didn’t you hear me? Let go of my hand!” Amora snapped, clearly annoyed at being dragged around by her husband.The sound of the bedroom door slamming made Amora jump. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the fury in Regis’s eyes.Amora swallowed hard and muttered, “That hurts, Regis.”Seeing how helpless she looked, Regis finally let go of her wrist. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the red marks left by his grip.Even though guilt started to creep in, Regis didn’t say anything. He still couldn’t bring himself to forgive what Amora had done.His lips curled into a bitter smirk as he glanced at the small suitcase behind her. “So you’re leaving, huh? Who told you to do that?”His voice was laced with a mix of anger and disappointment. Amora nervously bit her lip, slowly lowering her gaze, unable to meet his eyes.“Why are you quiet? A

    “Did you bring what my boss asked for?” Pablo asked, his expression completely unchanged.Amora looked down at the document in her hands, her heart heavy. The papers were divorce papers—something she had prepared at Diego’s request, and a requirement to get Rayden accepted into the Lorenzo family.The truth was, she still wasn’t ready to divorce Regis. But the pressure and threats from Diego had completely worn her down. Unlike Diego, she held no power. And more than anything, she didn’t want to see Regis crushed under the weight of his own father.“Miss, my boss isn’t someone who breaks his promises. He’ll accept your son as part of the Lorenzo family, just like he said. Your sacrifice won’t be in vain,” Pablo assured her on his employer’s behalf.Hearing that, Amora felt something heavy lift from her chest. ‘I’m sorry, Ray. I know I made this decision on my own, but I believe one day, you’ll understand this was the best thing I could do for you,’ she thought.Amora handed the docume

    "See you later, Mom. Don’t forget to come, okay?" Rayden said as he said goodbye to his mother.They had just finished breakfast, and Regis was the one taking their son to school. Amora had claimed she needed to finish some housework first so she could fully enjoy the event Rayden was participating in later.Amora only gave a small nod to her son’s words. She kissed his forehead lightly and murmured, "Take care of yourself, Ray."Rayden frowned. "I’m not gonna hurt myself, Mom," he replied, assuming she was still worried about his archery performance later.Amora gave a faint smile. Her eyes shifted to Regis, who was looking at her with a meaningful gaze. But she quickly looked away and said, "Go on, or you'll be late.""Come on, Dad! Let’s go!" Rayden called out as he grabbed his backpack."What is it?" Amora asked, puzzled, when she noticed Regis still hadn’t moved from his spot, even though their son had already jogged toward the door."Aren’t you forgetting something?" Regis asked

    “Maybe Albert and the others were right. The more I stay silent, the more Father will keep using his power to pressure Amora. I need to put a stop to this—fast,” Regis thought to himself.His face was filled with distress. His mind was racing with plans he had crafted with his loyal subordinates. He’d originally planned to check in on his wife, but changed his mind and stood up, needing to confirm something first before taking any action.Meanwhile, Amora sat silently on the edge of her bed, staring at her phone screen, her thoughts consumed by the message she had just received.Tears streamed steadily down her cheeks. She covered her mouth with one hand to muffle her sobs so no one outside her room could hear her crying.She quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hand and looked again at the message on her screen. It was from Chris. He had saved her number without her knowing.[Amora, I’m not sure if you’ve found out yet or not … but I just want to say congratulations. Accordin
