"Hey babe, you've been quiet for a while. Is everything okay?" Haze asked curiously, eating fries while holding a shot glass with his other hand. "You can talk about it if there's something bothering you."

"Ah... It's nothing." I lied and smiled slightly. "You know, I've managed to secure five sponsors for the upcoming launch of my new collection at my new museum. That's good news, right?"

"Hmm, yes. But it would be even better if you included me as your business partner in your new museum."

  • VOWS OF DESIRES (DS1)   CHAPTER 109

    Bryle’s POVI did not know what to do.For the first time in a long while, I found myself completely frozen, unable to think, unable to move, unable to even breathe properly as I stood there, staring at the very woman I love… and the very woman who had just shattered my sense of control.Felicity was standing only a few steps away from me, her presence composed. There was no trace of suspicion in her eyes—only concern, only the quiet authority she naturally carried wherever she went.And yet behind her, stood the woman, the same pair of lips that had pressed against mine the night before.My chest tightened, as if an invisible hand had reached inside and clenched my heart without mercy.Then Felicity’s gaze met mine.“Where have you been?” She asked, her tone calm but edged with worry. “You didn’t even tell me where you were going. You just disappeared.”Her voice snapped me out of my paralysis, but not complete

  • VOWS OF DESIRES (DS1)   CHAPTER 108

    Bryle’s POVConsciousness returned to me slowly. A dull, throbbing pain settled heavily in my head, accompanied by a lingering dizziness that made even the slightest movement feel disorienting. My eyes opened to an unfamiliar ceiling, and for a moment, I remained still, allowing my senses to catch up with reality.This was not my room. That much, I knew immediately.I pushed myself up, wincing faintly as the ache intensified. My mind was strained to recall what had happened the night before—fragments of the party, the conversation with the others, Zeke’s warning… And then the woman I had collided with.Everything after that… was blank.Frowning, I swung my legs off the bed and stood, steadying myself before making my way toward the window. The curtains were slightly parted, allowing daylight to filter in. With a firm motion, I pulled them aside.The view confirmed my suspicion.I exhaled sharply, dragging a hand down my

  • VOWS OF DESIRES (DS1)   CHAPTER 107

    Bryle’s POVItaly had always carried a different kind of silence—one that felt earned rather than empty. After everything that had happened, returning here felt less like escape and more like reclaiming control.The scandal stirred by Jacob Blood had been nothing short of calculated sabotage. Twisting narratives, discrediting Felicity, and attempting to paint her as nothing more than a decorative figure in Lee Corp—it was a bold move. Reckless, even.But not irreversible.With the help of the HGS Clan, we dismantled every fabricated claim piece by piece. Evidence was brought to light, connections exposed, and by the time we were done, the narrative had shifted entirely. Felicity’s name was no longer under scrutiny—it was protected, reinforced, and untouchable.And now, things are calm.Or at least, as calm as they could be.I sat behind my desk inside my office at Cava Corp, eyes scanning through reports while the faint

  • VOWS OF DESIRES (DS1)   CHAPTER 106

    Bryle’s POVThe invitation from the Chen family was not something the Lee family could simply turn down—especially when it involved a potential business partnership that could redefine the future of both clans. Declining would have been disrespectful, and perhaps even foolish. So here we were, standing within the vast and breathtaking hacienda owned by the Chens.Calling it a hacienda almost felt like an understatement.The estate stretched endlessly, its landscape resembling a private luxury resort more than a simple countryside property. Rolling green fields extended as far as the eye could see, perfectly trimmed like a world-class golf course. Towering trees swayed gently with the wind, their leaves whispering soft melodies that blended seamlessly with the distant chirping of birds.Beyond it all, mountains stood tall and proud, as if guarding the land itself.It was peaceful and yet, beneath that serenity, something felt fra

  • VOWS OF DESIRES (DS1)   CHAPTER 105

    Bryle’s POVTwo days had passed since everything had settled at least, on the surface.For the first time in a while, there were no confrontations, no unspoken tensions lingering in every corner of the mansion. The silence had changed. It was no longer suffocating, but calm… almost gentle.Perhaps that was why Felicity and I decided to go out. To breathe, to forget, if only for a moment.We spent the day wandering through different parts of Chengdu, moving without a strict plan, allowing ourselves to be guided by curiosity rather than obligation. It felt… liberating.For hours, we walked side by side, occasionally exchanging quiet laughter, sometimes falling into comfortable silence. And in those moments, it felt as though the world had narrowed down to just the two of us. No expectations, no burdens... Just us.At some point, we found ourselves stopping in front of a small ice cream shop. Without much thought, we went

  • VOWS OF DESIRES (DS1)   CHAPTER 104

    Bryle’s POVEven now, I could not shake off the words Madame Mathilda had said to me.They lingered in my mind like an unspoken warning. Something heavy, and deliberate. I did not fully understand what she meant, nor could I piece together the exact truth behind her words. And yet, I was certain of one thing: She had been pointing far deeper.Something I had yet to uncover.Exhaling quietly, I ran a hand through my hair before making my way toward Felicity’s room.The mansion remained as silent as it had been earlier, its stillness almost unnatural. It felt as though the entire household was holding its breath, waiting for something inevitable to happen.I stopped in front of her door for a brief moment before gently knocking. No response. Carefully, I opened it.The sight that greeted me was enough to soften the tension in my chest.Felicity stood near the window, a brush in her hand, completely absor

  • VOWS OF DESIRES (DS1)   CHAPTER 50

    I rarely step foot into my grandfather's office, the chairman of the Lee Clan. He also rarely speaks to us, and when he does, it's usually about business, so I'm certain that he called me in to discuss the Lee Corp operations I'm handling in Italy."Why is Mathilda not with you?" The cha

    Problems are piling up one after another with the companies I manage; am I having a streak of bad luck?I collapsed onto my bed and stared at the ceiling. It's been two days since I decided to return to Italy due to the problems I'd heard about. I managed to handle the issue at Lee Corp,

    Chapter 44My problems were mounting, but amidst the chaos, I found myself prioritizing someone else's issues over my own. Bryle and I took a flight to the US. It was sudden, so I didn't get a chance to inform Aeun that I'd be leaving and wouldn't be able to attend work for a few days.

    I get irritated just hearing her voice. Even if she greeted me warmly, I couldn't shake off the discomfort I felt whenever she was around. "I was invited by Ms. Elena to this house, so I think I'm a guest and not an outsider," I defended myself with a smile, turning to Brianna. "Good evening, Bri
