A full week passed, with the days bleeding into one another in a monotonous rhythm charged with silence and apprehension.

​Eileen opened her eyes very slowly with the first rays of the sun, but she didn’t feel the usual morning energy; instead, her body felt incredibly heavy, as if mountains had settled upon her chest. Her breaths came out hot, and her forehead was drenched in sweat despite the chill of the room. Her body had betrayed her once again under the weight of extreme exhaustion and th

  • The breaking point of love   Ch51: Are You Satisfied?

    The passionate kiss continued to steal Dana's breath away, while Marco's hands wrapped tightly around her swaying body with a firm, unyielding grip that kept her from collapsing. His fingertips moved slowly and skillfully from the nape of her neck, tracing the soft skin of her throat up and down, following the curve of her back with warm caresses that ignited a dormant desire in the clear light of morning.With every touch of his hands, Dana let out soft, stifled sighs, her breathing accelerating, laced with the scent of purple wine that had stripped away the final drops of her consciousness. His hand slid down to the silken ribbon binding the back of her elegant dress; with a single movement, he untied the fastening, letting the fabric loosen freely around her figure.Helpless and with trembling fingers, Dana clutched at the fabric of his shirt at his shoulders, pulling him toward her unconsciously and without hesitation, drowning in the overwhelming warmth surrounding her. Meanwhile

  • The breaking point of love   Ch50: Salvation

    My consciousness drifted away for several heavy seconds, leaving me facing a world of complete blackness... The metallic taste of blood trickling into my throat and the burning agony of the slap across my face were vivid, stark reminders of the torment that had chained me for years. Ever since I took refuge with Adrian and felt the warmth of his protection, I had forgotten this terrifying pain and the sheer physical and emotional torture Kai inflicted upon me every single time. Two minutes passed before I began to grasp the blurred reality around me; I saw Adrian before me like an erupting volcano, felling Kai to the ground with a single punch. He struck him with a ferocity I had never witnessed in him before, dark fury exploding from his eyes. People gathered in the courtyard, struggling with great difficulty to break up the clash and pull Adrian away before he killed him with his bare hands. I didn't even notice the strange woman kneeling beside me, trying to support me so I could

  • The breaking point of love   Ch49: An Impossible Chance

    With confident strides, Eileen walked toward the outer courtyard of the courthouse, stepping away from the noisy corridors to stop alongside Kai in a secluded spot beneath the shadow of red, leaf-shedding trees in the autumn chill of October. Kai stood gazing at her in heavy, suffocating silence, his face carved with suppressed remorse. His hand reached out with a tense tremble, clutching hers tightly as if holding onto his final lifeline before drowning.Eileen averted her eyes from his tear-streaked face. Pulling her hand back with a slow, absolute coldness that dismantled his balance, she let out a quiet breath and spoke in a low, composed voice:— "Will you remain silent like this, Kai? The judge will call for the session in a matter of minutes."Kai swallowed his bitter lump, his breath shuddering as thousands of unsaid words betrayed him in that single instant. He took a hasty step closer:— "Eileen... Please, do not do this to us! Look at me... I know I have committed unforgiva

  • The breaking point of love   Ch48: Your Eyes Once Again

    Eileen smiled with a rare, crystalline peace she had never known before. She felt not a single shred of regret or hesitation; instead, a newfound energy and inner fortitude surged through her veins.Before her mind could even process the tender ache radiating through her body, she whispered softly:— "Adrian... I didn't expect you to be so intense."A low, quiet laugh escaped Adrian’s chest:— "I was actually exercising restraint last night."She blushed deeply, averting her eyes in flustered sweet embarrassment.Rising swiftly from the bed, she began preparing for the court session. She dressed in an exquisite gown that subtly highlighted her grace and feminine silhouette, letting her dark hair cascade freely down her shoulders. She was no longer forced to tie it back tightly for cramped, stifling public transit—the cheap transport she used to endure just to pinch every penny. Today, she was riding in a luxurious, climate-controlled car. She applied delicate touches of makeup, illumi

  • The breaking point of love   Ch 47: Our First Night

    The room was filled with her delicate fragrance. Eileen stood before the mirror, tracing her lips with lipstick as a final touch—accentuating a femininity that had long been buried under the debris of fear and the harshness of life. She tightened the belt of her navy silk robe around her waist, defining her silhouette with a soft, enchanting grace.There were no longer any shadows of hesitation in her eyes; the inner battle deep within her had ended with a decisive choice. She finally knew which man her soul needed, and which sanctuary she truly deserved to rest her heavy days upon.She stepped outside with steady composure, stopping right before the door of Adrian’s room.(Adrian's POV)I was sorting through some papers for tomorrow’s court session, my mind divided between protecting her and closing that damned file once and for all. I heard a faint rustle of movement outside the door. At first, I thought it was just a midnight delusion, but my intense awareness of her presence drew

  • The breaking point of love   ​Ch46: A Firm Choice

    The hands of the clock crept past midnight, and a heavy silence spread across the warm living room. Eileen sat on the comfortable sofa, pulling the edges of her soft blanket tightly around her body. Her new phone lay on the nearby table like a ticking time bomb, as she lived in terror of receiving another message from the unknown sender. Every faint sound outside forced her heart to a sudden halt, her eyes darting apprechanively around the dark corners of the room. Suddenly, the front door opened quietly, and Adrian walked in with his usual commanding presence. He had just returned from his office after personally verifying that Jasper had completed the task in full—ensuring that not a single trace of Fali’s advertisement billboards or digital screens remained anywhere within the vicinity of Eileen's building. Adrian immediately sensed the tense atmosphere in the apartment upon stepping inside. Removing his heavy overcoat, he hung it up unhurriedly and approached her with measured
