LOGINThat night, the atmosphere in the mansion felt far quieter than usual. Kanaya stood on the bedroom balcony, staring at the dark, starless sky. A soft night breeze swept through, brushing against her loose hair. But the cold in the air was nothing compared to the coldness filling her heart. Everything had been revealed. The truth she had been waiting for had finally come. Yet strangely, it wasn’t only relief she felt. The pain was still there, even more vivid than before. The bedroom door slowly opened. Lucas stepped inside with cautious movements, as if afraid to disturb her. His eyes fell on Kanaya’s fragile back under the dim light. “I know you’re still awake,” he said softly. Kanaya didn’t turn right away. “I don’t know what I’m supposed to feel right now.” Lucas fell silent. “I was right all along,” Kanaya continued, her voice trembling. “I didn’t betray you, but you still drove me away, Lucas.” Every word felt like a blade cutting through her. “I lost everything back then,
Bayu walked casually into a quiet café. He only intended to grab a cup of coffee before returning to the mansion. However, his steps halted when his ears caught a very familiar name. “Come on, Gio. I’m just curious, where did you get that much money?” Bayu slightly turned toward the source of the voice. A man sat with his back to him, while a beautiful woman sat across from him, her expression full of curiosity. “Amanda, you don’t need to know everything,” the man replied casually. Bayu narrowed his eyes. That voice was familiar. He began listening more closely to their conversation. “I have the right to know!” the woman insisted. “You took me on a trip abroad, even threw that extravagant engagement party. That’s not something small, Gio!” The name made Bayu freeze. Gio? Could this be the same person who had once destroyed Lucas and Kanaya’s relationship? Bayu slowly moved closer and sat at a nearby table, pretending to be busy with his phone, though all his attention was on th
For the first time in a long while, the atmosphere in Lucas’s mansion felt warm. Kanaya sat on the sofa while her two children played on the floor, and Lucas watched them with a faint smile. Everything seemed peaceful. Hayden laughed as Hailey pretended to feed her doll, while Kanaya observed them with a sense of relief. “I’m happy to see you all like this,” Lucas said softly, his voice gentle yet firm. “Now, we can start building our lives again.” Kanaya gave a small smile as she looked at him. “I also… feel safe now. Thank you for explaining everything, Lucas.” Yet deep inside, guilt still lingered in her heart. Raymond was the one on her mind now, more precisely, what he must be going through after the wedding that had been suddenly destroyed. Not long after, the sound of a car slowing down came from outside the mansion. Kanaya turned her head, suddenly alert. She didn’t know why, but her heart felt uneasy. The front door opened, and a handsome man with a serious expression st
Lucas stood facing Raymond. The tension between the two men was palpable, and Kanaya, standing nearby, could only watch with growing concern at what Lucas might do. “Your marriage to Kanaya will not happen. If you proceed, someone will die here,” Lucas said, his eyes sharp and unyielding. The room immediately fell silent. Guests whispered nervously among themselves, some stepping back slowly, fearful that the situation could spiral out of control. Raymond’s lips curled into a faint, confident smile, though his jaw tightened. “Do you think I’ll back down just because of a cheap threat like that, Mr. Dinov?” Lucas took a step closer, exuding a cold aura that seemed to fill the entire room. “This isn’t a threat, Ray. It’s your final warning.” Kanaya clutched her gown tightly. Her heart pounded. She knew Lucas well—he never played around with his words. “Lucas, stop!” Kanaya’s voice finally broke the tension. “This isn’t the place for this.” Lucas turned to her, his gaze softening
The sound of knocking echoed loudly against the door, a clear sign that the person outside had run out of patience waiting for someone to answer. “Where are they? Why isn’t anyone opening the door?” Lucas stood anxiously in front of Kanaya’s house. He had tried calling Kanaya earlier, but she didn’t answer. Lucas was truly afraid of losing her again like before, but this time the fear was even greater because Kanaya was with their two children. “Kanaya, where are you? Raymond, that man must know where she is.” Lucas quickly dialed Raymond’s number. He waited anxiously for the call to be answered. “Hello, Raymond. Tell me, where is Kanaya? Don’t hide her from me. Do you even realize that she is my wife and the twins are my children?” “Of course I know, Mr. Dinov. But don’t you remember that your relationship with Lana ended a long time ago, when you threw her out and refused to acknowledge her anymore?” “Everything that happened back then was just a misunderstanding. Kanaya and
That morning in the office, Raymond approached Lana, who was busy working on the tasks Lucas had given her the day before. “Lana, I want to talk to you for a moment.” “Ray, what is it? I’m preparing documents for Mr. Lucas to bring before lunch. We’re going to a meeting at Mr. Dean’s company.” Lana spoke while her hands remained busy sorting through the papers in front of her. “You’re going out with Lucas again?” Raymond’s expression immediately darkened. “Yes, darling. I still have a meeting today.” “You should just quit this company, Lana.” Lana immediately stopped the movement of her hands as she sorted through the files. “What’s wrong?” Lana looked at him. Raymond slowly lifted his hand and gently stroked Lana’s cheek. “I get jealous seeing how close you are to Lucas.” “Ray, Lucas and I don’t have any relationship. This is all just work.” “Yes, but I’m still jealous.” Raymond’s hand continued to caress the cheek of the woman he loved so deeply. “Ray, tonight let’s have
Lucas took Kanaya's hand and led her into the party room. Andrean, who was talking to his son, was immediately distracted when he saw Lucas and Kanaya enter. "I'm so glad you came to my party, Lucas." Mrs. Andrean hugged Lucas. "I couldn't possibly miss today's event." Lucas smiled crookedly. N
Lucas chased after Kanaya, who ran out toward the restaurant's backyard. Jason followed them, afraid that Lucas would do something bad to Kanaya because Jason knew who Lucas was. "Lucas, don't do anything bad to Kanaya," Jason said worriedly. Lucas's hand immediately grabbed Jason's shirt collar.
Kanaya could only close her eyes and surrender as those evil hands began to take control of her body. She had been trying to fight back, but her strength was no match for the three men, especially since Kanaya's legs hurt when she tried to stand up and she ended up falling again.The desire to die
Kanaya was shocked when she woke up and couldn't find her husband, even though they had just spent such a wonderful moment together because Lucas was now so gentle when they made love. "Did Mr. Lucas have something urgent to do that he didn't have time to wake me up?" Kanaya got out of bed and we
