Beth, meanwhile, could only stare at Roxane, lost in thought. Is she happy? Should I crush the happiness she’s feeling? A heaviness pressed against her chest—the fear that Roxane might suffer the same fate as her own mother. She whispered to herself in silence, trying to hide her dread. “Mother… you’ve been spacing out. I’ve been talking nonstop,” Roxane pouted, her lips pushed forward in mock complaint. “Huh—haha… sorry, my child,” Beth replied, forcing a smile. “Do you really love Dark? I thought marriage wasn’t even in your vocabulary. Why did everything happen so suddenly—and I wasn’t even there at your wedding?” Beth said, pretending to sulk, though inside her heart ached with a pain she couldn’t show. “Well, that’s the thing, Inay. Dark is the reason we got married so quickly. Do you want me to
“What’s the update on Aling Beth?” Dark asked immediately as soon as he saw Drick approaching him. Anxiety was evident in his voice—the weight of turmoil heavy in his mind. “Everything’s fine there, Sir. You don’t have to worry because no one else can enter that place except you and me,” Drick replied. Still, he didn’t miss the depth of Dark’s stare—as if searching for reassurance. “Did you notice anyone with Aling Beth in the private house?” Dark asked again, clearly unsatisfied with the answer. There was a mix of unease and curiosity in his voice. “N-none, Sir… why did you suddenly ask? You know she’s the only one there,” Drick answered, confusion showing on his face. Dark took a deep breath, unable to hide his frustration. “Ahmm… keep an eye on the CCTV in the living room. I haven’t been able to see what’s happening there for a while because the CCTV in the living room was covered,” he said, his eyes almost glued to the monitor. “I’ll go back there, Sir. Maybe she’s hiding so
“W-will you let me go now? Has Dark already decided to release me and make Roxane and me leave this house?!” Beth asked hesitantly. But in her mind, fear lingered—what if Roxane suddenly woke up, or the cover slipped off her body and Drick ended up seeing her? “Did anything unusual happen here when the power suddenly went out?” Drick asked Beth, sounding calm and seemingly without suspicion at first glance. Beth was startled, her heart pounding rapidly. “H-Huh?! W-Why? Did something bad happen inside the Villamonte?” she asked nervously. Drick blinked briefly, a light sheen of sweat forming on his temples. “H-Huh? N-Nothing, Madam Beth… I just wanted to make sure you’re safe here,” he said, his voice slightly trembling with unease. He then excused himself from Aling Beth, as if deliberately avoiding eye contact so as not to reveal that he was hiding something. “I’ll be going now… I just came to check if you’re doing well,” Drick said before leaving quickly, clearly in a hurr
“Roxane! Roxane… where are you?!” Dark called out into the darkness, fear and worry clearly etched in his voice. Even their staff were immediately thrown into alert mode when the lights completely went out. Chaos erupted—people shouting, some crashing into tables, others tripping over, while a few quickly pulled out flashlights. “Someone broke in!” Drick shouted, breathless as he tried to chase a shadow moving swiftly through the dark. The beam of his flashlight briefly landed on the figure before it vanished once more. “Over here!” Drick shouted again, louder this time, prompting the Villamonte staff to sprint toward the direction. Their footsteps overlapped, some colliding with each other in their rush. Dark was already running outside as well. Even as he groped through the darkness, sweat pouring and his heart pounding wildly, only one thing mattered to him now—finding Roxane. “What’s going on?!” Mr. Nathaniel shouted, his booming voice almost deafening everyone amid the chaos
I’m pregnant too… why?! Levie’s mind screamed even now, even though their confrontation had already ended earlier. Meanwhile, Mrs. Vellama kept complaining about what had happened. “What that maid did was humiliating!” Mrs. Vellama muttered angrily to herself, almost shaking with rage. “She talks as if she’s someone important—when she has no breeding at all! How dare she speak that way to the Sebastian family?!” Still unsatisfied, she slightly lifted her chin and raised an eyebrow. “If it were up to me, I would have already thrown that woman out of this house. She acts more like the owner when she’s nothing but a mere maid!” Her lips were tightly pressed together, mockery obvious in her tone. “I really can’t accept this! It’s as if she has the right to decide who should be believed and who deserves respect. Ridiculous!” Mrs. Vellama shook her head, her eyes flashing. “If she’s already acting like this now, what more when she actually gives birth? Dark might end up completely
Mrs. Sebastian’s eyes widened as she waited for Roxane’s answer. But minutes passed, and not a single word came out of Roxane’s mouth. Despite the seriousness of the discussion, Beth was busy looking for an exit—any way she could escape from Dark’s house. “I’ll call Master Ama… I’ll ask him for help,” she whispered to herself, her voice trembling with anger and fear. Beth fell silent for a moment, then muttered, “But why hasn’t there been any call from Asia until now? They must already know I’m under the Villamontes’ roof!” Irritation and worry were clear in her voice as she quickly scanned her surroundings, searching for a possible way out. But… she saw not even the smallest hint of hope. Meanwhile, in Asia… “You won’t be able to call here anymore, Beth! You must give up being Vanessa and Carolina’s nanny! You’re nothing but an obstacle to my plans!” Aljhon whispered coldly, with a hint of menace. He clenched the phone tightly in his hand, and at that moment, the villainous em
