LOGIN“Renata, you’re still recovering. Wait until you’re completely better,” Efendi said, trying to stop his wife.“How can I possibly wait?” Renata looked at her husband, her eyes already filling with tears. “I want to see my daughter.”Her voice trembled.“All this time… the child we hurt, the child we even abused, turned out to be our own daughter.” Tears began streaming down her cheeks. “I have to see Anna right now.”Efendi fell silent.He knew there was no point trying to stop his wife anymore.“All right,” he finally relented. “But you’re going in a wheelchair. I’ll push you.”Renata nodded quickly.A few days earlier, Renata had been involved in an accident with Lusi. That accident had ultimately brought to light a secret that had remained hidden for years.Lusi was not their biological daughter.Anna was.At first, neither Renata nor Efendi could believe it. How could their daughter have been switched with someone else?But the more they uncovered, the harder it became to deny the
Anna slowly began to regain consciousness.Her eyelids fluttered before finally opening. Her vision was still blurry, but the first person she saw was Liam.The moment he realized she was awake, Liam immediately leaned closer. His face was filled with concern, as if he hadn’t truly relaxed for even a second since the accident.“Honey, how are you feeling? Does anything hurt?” Liam asked anxiously.Anna still felt weak. But before she could think about herself, one thing immediately came to mind.“Our baby?”Panic crept into her voice.“Our baby is fine. Don’t worry,” Liam reassured her gently.He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, trying to calm her. The moment she heard his words, Anna let out a breath of relief. The tension that had been gripping her chest slowly began to fade.Liam carefully wrapped his arms around her, as though he was afraid even the slightest wrong movement might cause her pain.“Anna… sweetheart, you’re awake?”Matilda’s voice came from the do
Anna was in the restroom of a restaurant. After washing her hands, she dried them with a tissue before stepping outside.She had barely taken a few steps when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.Anna flinched and instinctively tried to pull her hand free.“When did you start seeing Liam?” Rendy demanded bluntly.“That’s none of your business.” Anna struggled against his grip. “Let go!”“I told you we were going to get back together. Why couldn’t you wait for me?” Rendy’s anger was becoming increasingly difficult to control.Anna glared at him.“From the moment I decided to divorce you, Rendy, I never had any intention of getting back together.”“I know you still love me. You’re just trying to get revenge on me, aren’t you?”His words made Anna feel sick. She could hardly believe that, after everything they had been through, Rendy could still be so arrogant.“You’re incredibly full of yourself, Rendy,” Anna said coldly. “I would never go back to you. Not now. Not ever.”“Don’t be so st
Liam looked at Anna, as though he were still waiting for her final reassurance. He knew she hadn’t completely agreed to make their relationship public.“I’m okay with it,” Anna said softly.“Are you sure? You really don’t mind if everyone finds out about us?” Liam asked again, just to be certain.Anna nodded.Instantly, Liam’s expression brightened. A wide smile spread across his face, as though she had finally given him the permission he had been waiting for all this time.Without thinking twice, Liam pulled Anna into his arms.“Not so tight, Liam! Remember, there’s a baby in there now,” Matilda scolded.Realizing what he had done, Liam immediately loosened his embrace.“Sorry. I’m just too happy,” he admitted, still looking ridiculously pleased.Matilda and Jonathan exchanged amused glances before smiling at their son. Liam, who was usually so composed and rarely showed his emotions, now looked like a man who had just won the most precious prize in the world.“Take good care of Anna
“Anna,” Matilda called out as Anna had just finished making her rounds.Anna immediately smiled. Matilda hurried over and pulled her daughter-in-law into a warm embrace.“Liam already told Mom. I’m so happy to hear the news. Thank you, sweetheart, for carrying our grandchild,” Matilda said, her eyes glistening with tears.“Don’t cry. You’re going to confuse Anna,” Jonathan said, standing beside her.“I’m just so happy. Aren’t you happy that we’re going to have a grandchild?”“How could I not be? If I could, I’d announce it to the whole world right now,” Jonathan replied without hesitation.His words made Anna laugh softly.“Mom, Dad, do you want to talk in my office?”“Sure. Come on, let’s see our precious daughter’s office. If Anna’s room isn’t comfortable enough, we’ll have to scold Liam,” Matilda declared.“That boy must have gotten it from someone else. He doesn’t know how to pamper his wife. Nothing like me,” Jonathan chimed in.“Liam is very good to me, Dad,” Anna defended her h
That night, the bedroom was filled with a quiet sense of peace.Liam stood behind Anna, gently drying her hair with a hairdryer. Every now and then, his fingers slipped through her hair, making sure no strand was left damp.Sitting in front of the vanity, Anna couldn't help but smile at the tenderness he was showing her.“So, when can I finally tell the world that you're my wife?” Liam suddenly asked.Anna raised an eyebrow at him through the mirror.“When I'm in the mood.”Liam chuckled softly. “Then what do I need to do to put you in a good mood?”Anna pretended to think.“What do you want? A bag? Clothes? Shoes?”Anna immediately shook her head.“I want spaghetti. But I want you to make it for me.”Liam's hand stopped mid-motion.“Now?”Anna nodded.“Wait here, okay? I'll make it for you.”Anna turned around, looking at him in disbelief. “You really want to cook for me?”“Of course.” Liam immediately switched off the hairdryer. “Is there anything else you want, Honey?”Anna shook h
“Pick us up later,” Matilda said as she stepped out of the car.Liam didn’t say a word. His jaw tightened before he pulled away, leaving Matilda and Anna standing at the mall’s drop-off area.“Come on, Anna,” Matilda called lightly.Anna blinked, snapping out of her daze. She had been staring at Li
A light drizzle welcomed Anna as she arrived in the city—a city far from the painful memories she was running from, far from the names and faces she’d tried to bury even though their shadows still lingered. The wet pavement reflected the glow of streetlights, and a sharp, cold wind cut through her c
The DJ’s music pounded so hard it made the floor vibrate. Neon lights flickered wildly across the ceiling while Anna sat slumped at the bar, staring blankly at the glass in her hand.“Anna, are you drunk?” Elena asked, her voice tight with worry—the same friend Anna had called earlier while half-so
“Miss Anna, it’s time for dinner,” Ferdi said as he knocked politely on her door.“Yes, just a moment,” Anna replied. She hurried to smooth her hair before opening the door.“Sir and Madam are already waiting in the dining room,” Ferdi continued. “Please, allow me to escort you.”Anna nodded and fo
