Ethan moved without hesitation. He knocked Mathias’s hand away from Anna’s arm, firm and deliberate. Anna stepped slightly behind Ethan, her face pale and tense.
“I’m not going back with you, Mathias,” she said, her voice shaking but resolute.
“You have to!” Mathias pointed at her accusingly. Then his glare shifted to Ethan. “

Gia’s sentence faltered. She swallowed hard and covered her mouth, as if afraid she might say something wrong. On the other end of the line, Roy’s voice came through again—firmer this time.“I can’t explain it over the phone, Gia. It would be better if you both came to the hospital now.”Gia frowned. “Now? Roy, it’s already late.”“I know,” Roy replied quickly. “But results like this shouldn’t be discussed over the phone. I want you—especially your friend, Mrs. Auri—to hear it directly from the doctor who handled the examination.”Auri, who had been carefully watching Gia’s expression the entire time, felt her anxiety growing stronger.“What’s going on?” she asked quietly.Gia didn’t answer. She was still staring at the floor, her expression unsettled, before finally lifting her gaze back to Auri.“Alright,” she said into the phone at last. “We’ll come.”The call ended.Gia remained still for a moment, trying to steady her thoughts. For some reason, Roy’s words only strengthened the s

“Thank you for driving me home, Mr. Lucas,” Auri said just before stepping out of his car.“I truly enjoyed our meeting, Miss Aurel—”“Could you just call me ‘Auri’?” she interrupted gently.Lucas looked momentarily surprised, though he quickly masked it with a faint smile. “Would you mind if I called you ‘Aurelia’? Or… ‘Aurel’?” He unfastened his seatbelt and added lightly, “That is your name, isn’t it?”Auri couldn’t find the words to argue with him, though…“It seems you do mind,” Lucas observed.“It’s not that, but—”“So… you don’t mind, then?”Auri squeezed her eyes shut for a moment before finally nodding, giving in to the request from the man beside her.“Thank you. And, oh… your car is already on its way back to yo

Lucas didn’t immediately touch the envelope.“I already told you,” he said calmly, “that it’s a fair payment for your work.”“But it isn’t what we agreed on,” Auri replied evenly.Lucas studied her for a few seconds before leaning back slightly in his chair.“Alright,” he said at last. “If you insist, we can talk about it later.”Auri frowned faintly. “Later?”Lucas nodded. “Because the real reason I invited you to lunch today isn’t just about the payment.”Auri’s gaze sharpened. “Then what is it?”Lucas glanced briefly around the restaurant before looking back at her. His expression had grown noticeably more serious.“As I mentioned earlier, this conversation is related to business.”“What kind of business?” Auri straightened slightly in her seat, focusing on the co

The red sports car glided smoothly through the midday traffic of the city.Auri sat upright. She had tried to relax, but the situation still felt awkward. Her hands were clasped together over the small bag resting on her lap as she continued trying to understand where Lucas was leading the conversation.Neither of them spoke for a while.Every so often, Lucas received a phone call, answering briefly as if he had no intention of letting anyone interrupt him now.“We’ll discuss it later this afternoon. I still have something to handle,” Lucas said flatly into the phone. “And don’t contact me for the next three hours.”He ended the call immediately. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Auri with a faintly apologetic look. “My apologies.”“You don’t need to apologize, Mr. Lucas,” Auri replied politely. “You carry significant responsibilities. Besides… you just

Anna picked up a small piece of the crab meat and tasted it.“Delicious,” she murmured.Ethan looked satisfied seeing her eat. The scene felt so… familiar. So natural—like something they had done countless times before.Auri watched them without looking away. And suddenly, an old memory surfaced in her mind. Back then… Ethan used to do the exact same things for her.Cracking open crab shells for her. Separating the meat. Peeling shrimp so she could eat them easily. Carefully removing fish bones just so she wouldn’t struggle while eating.Back then, Auri had felt incredibly happy. The way Ethan cared for her—so attentive, so gentle—had filled her heart with warmth.But now…The laughter coming from that table was still there—only it wasn’t meant for her anymore. Those soft smiles and affectionate gestures were now directed at Anna. Auri watched as Anna said something

“WHAT?”Gia instantly clapped a hand over her mouth. She hadn’t expected her reaction to burst out quite that loudly.How could she not be shocked?Ever since the night they attended the memorial event for the RedFashion CEO’s mother, everything had seemed perfectly normal. Gia had assumed the extra payment had already been returned to Lucas.After that night, Auri had simply gone back to her usual routine. Her face looked brighter, she smiled more often, and sometimes she even hummed softly while arranging flowers—her hands moving gracefully through stems and petals as if she carried no burdens at all.And all of that came to a sudden halt the moment Auri stepped out of the room at the back of the shop. She was dressed in semi-formal attire, the outfit carefully chosen to softly conceal the curve of her growing belly—though it did nothing to hide her natural elegance.“Why are you so shocked?”
