“Come on, Anna, let’s go home,” Matilda said when Anna approached her.

“What about your dress, Mom?” Anna asked, remembering she was the only one who had chosen hers.

“It’s already taken care of. They’ll send it along with yours later,” Matilda replied, looping her arm through Anna’s as they left the boutique.

Anna let out a quiet sigh of relief. She was grateful Matilda decided to leave right away—she was terrified Matilda might run into Amelie and accidentally uncover pieces of Anna’s past.

    “Why are you looking at me like that?” Liam asked, pretending not to understand.“Your secretary seems upset,” Anna said quietly.“Do you want me to fire her?” he asked flatly, as if it were something trivial.Anna frowned. “If I said yes… would you really do it?” she asked, curious.“Of course. Why wouldn’t I?” he replied casually, without the slightest hesitation.She studied his face, searching for even the smallest hint of a lie.There was none.His eyes were too honest… too serious.“Stop daydreaming. Just eat your brownie,” Liam said, lightly tapping the tip of her nose.“Do you want some?” Anna lifted a spoon toward his lips.Without protest, Liam opened his mouth and accepted the bite.“Well? Is it good?”“I wouldn’t know,” he said lightly. “I don’t actually like brownies.”Anna frowned. “But last time I baked some, you finished the whole thing.”“That’s because you made them. So I liked them.”The simple sentence made heat rush straight to her face. Her heart began to race fo

    Anna sat in the living room, her gaze fixed on the half-finished journal resting in her hands. She had planned to spend the day doing nothing at all—just lazing around, free from responsibilities. But reality refused to cooperate. Her mind wouldn’t quiet down. Almost unconsciously, her fingers continued to move, writing line after line, as if working were the only way to keep herself steady.While she was absorbed in her thoughts, the sound of approaching footsteps reached her ears. Anna looked up instinctively.A woman strode into the house with unmistakable confidence. A short skirt hugged her legs, and a tight-fitting top accentuated every curve of her body. Her movements were arrogant, as though she owned the place. Anna frowned slightly. She had never seen this woman before.“Mrs. Anna,” Wira called out politely, a hint of hesitation in his voice. “Mr. Liam’s secretary is here. She’s looking for him.”Anna gave a brief nod. “Liam is in his study, Wira.”“In that case, I’ll go and

    Anna woke to the feeling of an arm wrapped tightly around her. She turned slowly, gazing at the man still asleep beside her.It’s rare for him to still be sleeping at this hour, she murmured inwardly.Liam’s eyelashes were long, his nose sharp and well-defined. In that quiet moment, Anna admitted to herself—God had been meticulous when creating this face. Her fingers lifted, brushing his cheek with care, as though afraid to wake him. But her touch was suddenly caught.“Such a mischievous hand,” Liam said as his eyes opened, a small smile curving his lips.“You’re unusually late waking up today,” Anna replied.“I want to laze around with you today.” His casual tone made her smile.“So even Mr. Liam knows how to be lazy?” she teased.“More precisely, I want to make love to you,” Liam shot back playfully, earning a light punch to his chest.“You kept me up all night—wasn’t that enough?” Anna protested.Because I want you to carry my child, Liam thought, his gaze fixed on her face.He clo

    Liam ended the call without another word. His jaw tightened, his eyes turning cold—not with explosive rage, but with the dangerous calm that always came just before someone’s world collapsed.Deep in the basement of an old company-owned building, a man sat restrained in a metal chair. His hands were bound, his face drained of color, his breathing uneven. A single white lamp hung directly above him, casting a harsh light that made even the smallest movement feel like a fatal mistake.The door opened slowly.The sound of polished dress shoes echoed across the concrete floor—steady, unhurried, as though their owner wasn’t approaching a man trembling with fear. Liam stepped inside, dressed immaculately in black. His suit was flawless, not a single crease out of place.He stopped directly in front of the man.“Name,” Liam said flatly, his voice low and calm.The man swallowed hard. “I—I was just following orders, sir. I was paid.”Liam pulled out a chair and sat down across from him, cross

    Anna stood in front of the sink, staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her face looked slightly pale, yet her eyes still shone—whether from lack of sleep or emotions she hadn’t fully sorted through, she wasn’t sure. She had just finished showering and was drying her hair when she heard footsteps approaching outside the bathroom door.“You’re pushing yourself too hard,” Liam said from the other side, his voice calm but weighted with concern.“I’m a doctor, Liam. This isn’t the first time I’ve been exhausted,” Anna replied, continuing to dry her hair.The bathroom door opened. Liam stood there, fully dressed, his tie hanging loosely around his neck. His gaze settled on Anna and lingered, as if he were silently checking on her.“You’re not just tired,” he said quietly. “You’re stubborn.”“And you’re overly protective.” Anna turned to him, raising an eyebrow. “Besides, aren’t you the one making me even more exhausted?” she added lightly.Liam stepped closer, his hand reaching out to st

    Thud!Someone collided with Liam just as he stepped out of the VIP room. His body tensed on instinct—until his eyes landed on the person in front of him.“Why are you here?” Liam asked when he saw Anna rubbing her forehead. The edge in his voice vanished instantly, replaced by concern. He moved closer, carefully checking her over.“I came to pick you up,” Anna replied calmly.“Does it still hurt?” Liam asked, as if he’d completely forgotten the anger that had burned through him moments ago.“I’m fine.”“Let’s go home,” he said, taking her hand.Anna walked beside him for a few steps, then stopped. Her nose wrinkled slightly. “Have you been with another woman again?” she asked quietly, her tone sharp with suspicion. A foreign feminine perfume still clung to Liam’s body.“There is no other woman,” Liam answered shortly.Anna clearly didn’t fully believe him, but she didn’t push for an explanation. Without another word, she turned and started to walk away.“Liam!” she yelped in surprise
