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 111. The Things We Fear
The hallway outside Alexander Cassel’s VIP recovery room was painfully quiet.Cold white lights stretched across the polished floor, reflecting faintly against the glass walls overlooking the city. Somewhere farther down the corridor, the sound of medical equipment beeped steadily in the silence.Enola stood beside Damian, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the strap of her handbag.And across from them—Adrian Cassel stood motionless near the elevator.For a few long seconds, nobody spoke.The tension between the two brothers filled the entire hallway like smoke before a fire.Adrian looked different from the last time Enola saw him.Thinner.Sharper.More exhausted around the eyes.But colder too.Like someone who had cut himself away from everything soft in his life.His gaze shifted from Damian to Enola slowly.“You look healthier than before,” Adrian said quietly to Enola.Enola blinked slightly, caught off guard.Before she could answer, Damian cut in coldly.“What are
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 74. In the Middle of a Biting Cold Winter
The snow fell harder that night—flakes clinging to the windows of the main bedroom in their new house, which was still undergoing renovations. The faint smell of wet wood and fresh paint mingled with the soft scent of lavender from the diffuser Damian had installed specifically to calm Enola.Even
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 73. A Slow-Moving Life, and the Shadows That Follow
Winter was biting harder as the year drew to a close. The snow fell more heavily than the day before, covering the roofs of Cassel Mansion with a thick white layer that made the entire area look like an illustration from a storybook. The air was piercing, but the Spark-Cassel family’s large house w
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 72. The Last Night Before the Storm
The snow fell heavily that night, forming a white blanket that engulfed the entire city. Street lights glowed dimly behind the low-hanging cold fog. Winter had reached its peak, and the atmosphere felt heavy... as if something was waiting to break.In Damian’s office on the top floor of Cassel Towe
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 71. The Fall of the Main Pole
Snow fell slowly in mid-December, like cold ash covering the city. The air was piercing—harsh, sharp, and threatening, just like the Cassel family’s current situation. At Cassel Group headquarters, the morning atmosphere was gloomier than the sky outside.Damian took off his long black coat, his ja
