Maximilian and Anastasia entered the living room of the Kingsleys' main residence with steady steps. Their hands were clasped tightly together as if to reassure each other that they were ready to face whatever might happen. They stood silently at the doorway for a moment, allowing their presence to draw attention.

Selene, who was sitting on the sofa, looked up when she saw them. The middle-aged woman’s eyes widened in disbelief at what she saw. "Anastasia?!" she exclaimed, standing up and staring at them in astonishment.

Not far from Selene, Shayne, who had just taken a sip of coffee, also fell silent. He looked at his son and Anastasia, who were holding hands. Then, his eyes shifted to his son’s face as if seeking confirmation. "Max, you two...?"

Maximilian glanced at Anastasia beside him, smiled gently, and turned his gaze to his parents. He took a deep breath before speaking. "Mom... Dad... This is Anastasia Noire—sorry, Anastasia Kingsley.” He introduced the woman beside him w

    ***The quiet atmosphere in the backyard of the Kingsley family's magnificent mansion felt soothing. Anastasia enjoyed her solitude, breathing in the fresh air and savoring the elegant ambiance that calmed her mind. However, her peace was interrupted when she heard light footsteps approaching."Anastasia?" Renata greeted her in a seemingly friendly voice, but there was a hidden sharpness in her tone.Anastasia turned to look at Renata, who approached with a thin smile. "Hi, Renata. Is there anything I can help you with?" she asked politely.Renata glances at her, then begins to speak in a seemingly contrived, polite tone. "I just wanted to welcome you personally. You know, I've been close with the Kingsley family since I was a child. Aunt Selene and Uncle Shayne love me like their own daughter," she said, casting a proud glance.Anastasia smiled slightly, sensing the underlying meaning in Renata’s words. "Oh, that’s wonderful. The Kingsleys are indeed very kind and loving,” she replie

    ***In the luxurious yet tense living room of the Kingsleys' main residence, Shayne stared intently at the documents in his hands. The evidence of the Browns' crimes was clearly laid out before him, and the more he read, the angrier he became."Dad never imagined they could be so cruel and cunning," Shayne said, his voice trembling with anger. "We helped their family when they were in dire financial straits. And they repay us by plotting to kill our only son. Why are some people more cruel than demons?"Beside him, Selene stared at the document, her face pale. Tears streamed down her cheeks; she couldn't hide her pain. "I can't believe Renata, the girl I considered my own daughter, actually put a potion in Max's food that made him allergic to women." Her voice trembled. "All so that only Renata could cure his allergy."Selene sobbed. Maximilian, sitting across from them, looked at his mother with a gaze filled with guilt and determination. He knew it was time to recount the events of

    ***Robert paced back and forth in his office, which was filled with files and piles of documents. His anger was boiling over. He had just received news that Kingsley Group, his company's biggest supporter, was withdrawing all its support and donations. This clearly undermined his position. More than that, he felt his self-respect had been trampled because his position at Kingsley Group was also threatened due to Maximilian uncovering his criminal activities. Reynold stood before Robert, head bowed, trying to restrain himself from being provoked by his father's outburst."You bastard! Can't you be as great as Max? Ha?” Robert cursed loudly, his eyes staring sharply at Reynold, who remained silent. "Look at him! Max can control a company as big as the Kingsley Group and has made the Kingsley name the most respected in this country. He's even better than Shayne. Meanwhile, you?"Reynold clenched his fists and tightened his jaw as he heard the insults pouring out of his father's mouth. S

    ***"Maximilian?" What's going on? Why are you here?" Anastasia asked softly, feeling surprised and confused by his presence.Maximilian stood there, staring at her intently. Before she could ask another question, he reached out and touched her face, his fingers gently caressing her slightly bloodied lips. "Why are you so careless?" His voice was soft yet firm.Anastasia opened her mouth to respond, but Maximilian suddenly silenced her with a kiss.
