It had been two days since Damian told Enola about someone following her. However, Damian didn’t tell her everything, only mentioning that “something was suspicious.”

Enola held her growing belly, her heart anxious.

“Then someone is targeting me... what about this baby?”

She squeezed the blanket on her thighs. Her anxiety slowly turned into fear that she found difficult to hide.

Damian approached and sat on the edge of the bed.

“Enola,” his voice was low and firm, but there was a subtle te

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   117. The Devil You Disturb

    Rain poured heavily across the city.The black sedan cut through the wet streets at high speed while thunder rumbled somewhere above the skyline. The atmosphere inside the car felt suffocatingly quiet.Enola stared outside the window without blinking.Streetlights blurred into streaks of gold against the rain-covered glass.Beside her, Damian sat unusually still.His jaw was tight.One hand rested against his knee while the other held his phone, waiting for updates from Ethan.But his attention kept drifting back to Enola.She had not said a single unnecessary word since they left Royal Cassel Hotel.And somehow…that frightened him more.Because Enola’s silence tonight did not feel cold.It felt controlled.Like someone standing calmly in the middle of a burning building while deciding who deserved to die first.“Hayle is alive.”Ethan’s voice suddenly came through the speaker from Damian’s phone.Enola’s eyes finally shifted.“He suffered minor burns and smoke inhalation,” Ethan con

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   116. The Queen Beside The Devil

    The rain had not stopped since dawn.Thin streams of water slid down the giant glass windows of the penthouse, blurring the gray skyline outside into something cold and distant. Summer was supposed to feel warm, but tonight the city looked like it had been swallowed by a storm.Enola stood in front of the mirror while fastening the diamond earrings Luna had prepared for her earlier.Her reflection stared back at her quietly.Elegant.Sharp.Untouchable.But her eyes still carried exhaustion.Not weakness anymore.Just exhaustion.Behind her, Damian stepped out of the dressing room wearing a black suit with the first two buttons of his shirt undone. His tie hung loose around his neck, and the moment his eyes landed on Enola, his steps slowed.For a second, neither of them spoke.The tension between them lately had changed.Still dark.Still dangerous.But no longer fragile.Now it felt like two people standing side by side against a world trying to tear them apart.Damian stopped behin

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   115. The Woman Who Survived

    The morning air over the city carried the warmth of early summer, but inside the meeting room of Spark Winery, the atmosphere was cold enough to make every breath feel sharp.Enola sat at the head of the long table in a black fitted dress with her hair tied neatly behind her head. Sunlight slipped through the floor-to-ceiling windows and fell across the polished surface of the table, reflecting the tense faces around her.Several directors avoided looking directly at her.Some did not.Especially the older men who had once stood behind Reginald.One of them cleared his throat before sliding a document across the table.“Mrs. Cassel,” he began carefully, “there are concerns regarding your recent priorities.”Enola did not immediately respond. She calmly turned a page of the financial report in front of her.Across the room, Hayle stood near the screen presentation while Luna leaned against the wall with crossed arms, already sensing trouble.The director continued.“Spark Winery is gro

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   114. The Shape of a Broken Heart

    The rain had stopped before dawn, but the city still looked drenched in gray.Water clung to the floor-to-ceiling windows of Spark Winery’s headquarters, turning the skyline beyond into a blur of silver lights and distorted shadows. The weather matched the atmosphere inside the boardroom perfectly.Cold.Heavy.Restless.Enola sat at the head of the long table with one leg crossed over the other, fingers lightly tapping the surface beside the stack of reports Hayle had prepared earlier that morning.Her expression remained calm.Too calm.That was what unsettled everyone the most.Across from her, several shareholders exchanged uneasy glances while Clarine sat near the end of the table with her chin lifted confidently, dressed in a cream-colored blazer that made her look elegant and harmless.But Enola knew better.Clarine was never harmless.Not when survival was involved.Not when greed was involved.Especially not when envy was involved.“She’s replacing too many old partners too q

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   113. The Most Dangerous Weakness

    The morning sun spilled through the windshield in pale gold streaks while the car moved steadily down the mountain road.Enola was asleep.Her head rested against Damian’s shoulder, her hair slightly messy from the wind near the dam earlier. One of her hands still loosely held the sleeve of his black shirt like she had fallen asleep without realizing it.Damian drove with one hand on the steering wheel.Silent.Calm.But his thoughts were nowhere near calm.The road curved sharply along the mountain edge, fog still hanging low between the trees after dawn. The world outside looked cold and distant, yet inside the car, warmth lingered from the night they had shared.From the wine.From the confessions.From the way Enola had looked at him under the firelight.Damian glanced sideways at her sleeping face.His gaze softened unconsciously.“This woman…” he thought quietly. “...will either become my salvation or the knife that destroys me.”And strangely—he still could not let her go.Not

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   112. The Place I Return To

    The hospital hallway felt colder after Damian stepped out of Alexander Cassel’s recovery room.Enola was still sitting on the long bench near the door, her elbows resting lightly on her knees while her gaze remained lowered to the marble floor beneath her heels.Several people passed by the corridor.A few recognized her immediately.Whispers followed quietly behind her.“Isn’t that Enola Spark?”“The CEO of Spark Winery?”“I heard the company’s profits doubled after she took over.”“She’s the one who cleaned out Reginald’s people, right?”Enola heard all of it.But tonight, for once, she was too tired to care.Her chest still felt heavy after hearing Alexander’s words.Your wife.The most dangerous thing in your life.Enola slowly intertwined her fingers together.Maybe everyone truly thought that way.That she was Damian’s weakness.That she would eventually destroy him.And perhaps…they were right.Her relationship with Damian had never started normally.She approached him with am

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   11. The Tyrant's Wedding

    The colored tulle fabric used as a headpiece for Enola’s wedding dress draped elegantly to the floor. The fabric was attached to a small diamond-studded crown, which sat prettily atop Enola’s beautifully styled hair, expertly arranged by a professional hairdresser.Some of her hair was neatly brai

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   10. A Hasty Marriage

    The silence in Damian’s car cabin was broken by the roar of the engine. The car sped away from the Spark family hall. Enola stared out the car window with pent-up anger.“Well done, Damian. You think you can drag me out of hell to tell me another lie?!” Enola’s voice was full of pent-up anger. Da

    “Open the door! I order you to open this door!” Enola shouted as she banged hard on her locked bedroom door. Her hand repeatedly moved the doorknob, hoping the door would open immediately, but to no avail. Her uncle took the impulsive step of stopping her from taking Clarine’s engagement.Enola was

  • The Tyrant's Bride Vow   8. A Forced Marriage

    Clarine looked miserable as she ate breakfast silently with her father and Enola. Her eyes were puffy, her nose was red, she hadn’t slept for several days, and had spent her time crying in her room. Enola and Damian’s scandal had rocked the town, and everyone was discussing it. Moreover, Damian had
