The autumn wind swept through the Cassel Residence courtyard. Leaves fell in front of Enola’s work balcony as she received a report from Damian via Luna, who had come to see her.

“Your uncle has begun to take action by attacking the Cassel Group through the stock market.” Luna paused for a moment to see Enola’s reaction as she stared outside at the maple leaves being blown by the wind.

“They insulted my parents.” Enola’s voice sounded fragile with sadness and anger. Her gaze held resentment.

    The room was too quiet.Sunlight slipped through the thin curtains, soft and warm—too gentle for the storm sitting in Enola’s chest. The air carried the faint scent of summer, a sharp contrast to the tension that hadn’t left her since last night.The paper lay on the table.Neat.Untouched.A new copy.Enola stood in front of it, arms hanging loosely by her sides, fingers slightly curled as if they didn’t quite belong to her.Divorce Agreement.Her name was already printed there.Waiting.She reached for the pen.Slowly.Her hand hovered just above the surface.A breath in.Then another.Her fingers tightened around the pen.She lowered it—Stopped.Her hand trembled.Just enough.A flicker of something crossed her face.Not hesitation.Not exactly.Something deeper.Her grip loosened.The pen slipped from her fingers and rolled across the table, stopping just beside the edge.Enola let out a shaky breath.Her chest felt tight again.“Why is this so hard…”The whisper barely filled th

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   96. A Name Beneath the Surface

    Summer had arrived quietly.The snow was gone, replaced by a soft warmth that lingered in the air and filtered through the wide glass windows of the private hospital suite. Sunlight spilled across the floor in pale gold, touching everything gently—too gently for a room that still carried the scent of antiseptic and something unspoken.Enola stood by the window.Her arms were folded loosely, but her fingers pressed into her sleeves, gripping the fabric just a little too tightly. Outside, the city looked alive again—bright, moving, almost careless.It felt… wrong.Behind her, the steady rhythm of the heart monitor cut through the silence.Damian was awake.Not fully recovered.Not yet.But awake.“You’ve been standing there for ten minutes.”His voice was low, rough—still edged with the weight of pain, but steady enough to carry that familiar authority.Enola didn’t turn immedia

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   95. The Fear of Losing

    The paper tore too easily.A sharp, dry sound—clean, final.Enola didn’t realize she was holding her breath until it broke out of her in a shaky exhale. The torn halves of the document slipped from her fingers and fell onto the table, sliding apart like something that was never meant to stay whole.Divorce.It was supposed to feel like relief.Freedom.An end.But standing there, staring at the ruined paper… all she felt was emptiness.Her chest tightened.Slowly at first.Then all at once.Her knees weakened, and she sank into the chair behind her, one hand bracing against the edge of the table. Her other hand moved instinctively to her chest, fingers pressing lightly as if she could steady the storm rising inside her.“Why…” her voice came out barely a whisper.She swallowed hard.“Why does it feel like I’m losing something…”Her throat closed.“…I never even had?”Silence answered her.Heavy.Unforgiving.Her gaze drifted—unfocused—until it landed on the faint reflection in the gla

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   94. Out of Control

    The morning came in gray.A thin layer of fog clung to the glass walls of the penthouse, softening the skyline into a blur of steel and shadows. The rain from last night hadn’t fully left—just settled into a quiet drizzle that tapped against the windows like something persistent… something that refused to go away.Inside, everything felt too still.Too quiet.Too cold.Enola stood by the window, wrapped in a long, dark robe. Her fingers rested lightly against the glass, tracing nothing in particular. Below, the city moved like it always did—cars, people, noise—but up here, it felt distant. Detached.Like she was no longer part of it.Behind her, the soft sound of a closet door closing broke the silence.Damian stepped out, already dressed in a charcoal suit. The crisp white of his shirt stood in sharp contrast to the dull morning, his tie hanging loose around his neck. His movements were precise, controlled—too controlled.He didn’t look at her right away.Neither of them spoke.The d

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   Chapter 93 – The Woman They Created

    The morning came with a quiet, suffocating gray.Spring should have softened the city by now, but the sky hung low and heavy, clouds pressing down like a weight that refused to lift. A thin drizzle tapped against the tall glass windows of the Cassel Group headquarters, streaking the view into blurred lines of steel and shadow.Inside, everything felt colder.Not because of the weather.But because of what was waiting.Enola stepped out of the car without hesitation.The cold air brushed against her skin, sharp and damp, carrying the faint scent of rain and concrete. She didn’t flinch.Her heels clicked against the polished stone floor as she entered the building.Each step steady.Measured.Controlled.Behind her, Luna followed in silence, her gaze scanning everything.“Boardroom’s already full,” Luna murmured quietly.Enola nodded once.“I expected that.”The elevator ride felt longer than usual.Not because of distance.But because of the tension coiling in her chest.It wasn’t pani

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   92. Public Execution

    The morning air felt wrong.Spring had come too early that year, but the warmth didn’t reach the ground. A thin layer of mist clung to the city streets, blurring glass buildings into pale silhouettes. The sky was overcast—heavy, like it was waiting for something to fall.Inside the car, it was quiet.Too quiet.Enola sat by the window, her fingers loosely wrapped around a paper cup of tea that had long gone cold. She hadn’t taken a sip in minutes. Her gaze was distant, fixed somewhere beyond the passing streets, though she wasn’t really seeing anything.Her chest felt tight again.Not enough to panic.Not yet.Just… a warning.Luna glanced at her from the front seat, her expression sharp, watchful.“You okay?”Enola didn’t answer immediately. She shifted slightly, pressing her palm against her thigh, grounding herself.“I’m fine.”It wasn’t convincing.Before Luna could push further, Enola’s phone vibrated.Once.Then again.And again.A sharp, relentless buzzing that cut through the

    Heavy rain fell on the city of Cassel, drenching the glass windows of the penthouse where Enola stood, gazing at the city lights that flickered like a pack of predatory eyes.

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   56. The Vendrake Shadow

    Alexander Cassel never liked uninvited guests, especially women like Enola Spark, who always arrived bringing a storm with her.
