Tara looked at him for a few moments. The words might have been simple, but she knew how deeply they meant to Victor. He had never been someone who talked too much about his feelings. Yet, whenever Victor told her he loved her, Tara could always feel it in every action he took.Tara then raised her hand and gently touched Victor’s face. “I love you too.”Victor smiled, then kissed his wife’s palm.There was nothing more they needed to say.As dusk slowly settled, they simply stood there embracing each other, sharing the same happiness. Once again, their lives would change. There would be a baby’s cries, sleepless nights, new responsibilities, and days that might not always be easy.But this time, they would go through it together.And for Victor, there was no life he wanted more than one that included Tara and their children.

Two years had passed since that grand wedding. Tara’s name had continued to shine as one of the women to be reckoned with in the business world. She had successfully handled various major projects, and her ability to recognize opportunities had earned her the respect of many people.Victor never stood in the way of anything Tara wanted to do. On the contrary, he was always the first person to offer his support. He knew Tara never wasted an opportunity and never made a decision without careful consideration.And because of how busy they had been, for nearly the past four months, they had barely had any time to enjoy family life because they were busy handling a new project. So, when everything was finally finished, Victor decided to take Tara, Liora, and Lawrence on vacation to a private island.Only the four of them were there, along with several servants who attended to their needs.Tara truly felt that this was the perfect time for a vacation.

Her voice was loud enough that several other inmates turned to look. Kara continued staring at the television screen displaying the photo of Tara and Victor.“How dare she!”A female inmate sitting not far from them simply laughed softly. She took the opportunity to mock Kara.“Why? Isn't that a good thing?” she said casually. “Just look at her. She looks happy. Are you jealous of seeing your sister happy?”Kara immediately turned toward her sharply.The woman deliberately moved closer and showed her the screen of her phone, which was also displaying the news of Tara's wedding. “Look. Her husband is rich too. Looks like her life is much better after leaving you all behind.”Several other inmates laughed softly.Kara's face immediately flushed. “Shut up!”She rose roughly and was about to approach the woman, but Helena immediately stood up and grabbed her arm.&l

Adrian was serving his sentence when news of Tara and Victor's wedding appeared. At the time, the man was cleaning a toilet as part of his punishment, which he did not know when would end. His hand, which was holding a cleaning tool, stopped when he heard the news anchor mention Tara's name.He slowly raised his head. The television screen showed Tara in her wedding gown. The woman was smiling beside Victor. A smile that looked so calm and happy.Adrian remained silent for quite some time. Then Victor's voice came clearly from the television.“I don't think an age difference is a bad thing. We love each other.”Adrian's chest felt tight.He stared at the screen without blinking. There were so many things he wanted to say, but not a single one deserved to leave his mouth. Once, Tara had stood by his side. Once, the woman had trusted him and hoped they could build a life together. But he had destroyed all of that with his own hands.

Six months had passed since Tara accepted Victor's proposal. During that time, many things had changed. Tara's condition had improved, her baby was growing healthily, and life in the mansion had become livelier with the presence of their little baby.After going through the recovery period and making all the necessary preparations, the day they had been waiting for finally arrived.Victor and Tara's wedding was held in great luxury. The guests came from all walks of life. Family, friends, business associates, and important people who had known Victor and Tara for years filled the venue. The decorations were luxurious yet elegant.Everything had been prepared with great care, as though Victor wanted to make sure that not a single thing would make that important day feel less than perfect for Tara. However, for Tara, the luxury was not the most important part of the day.What made her happy was the fact that, for the first time, she was standing at a weddin

Not long after Victor finished holding the tiny baby, the door to the recovery room opened again. Liora appeared with Vivian and Gilbert. The little girl stopped in her tracks when she saw Victor standing beside the bed with the tiny baby in his arms.Her eyes immediately lit up. “Is that... my little brother?”Victor smiled. “Yes. This is your little brother.”Liora walked closer carefully. She stood beside Victor and watched the still-sleeping baby with curiosity written all over her face. “He’s so tiny.”Tara laughed softly. “You were that tiny once too.”“Really?”“Of course.”Liora looked at her little brother again. Then she extended one finger and very carefully touched the baby’s tiny hand. “He’s so cute. He looks so much like you, Mommy Tara.”Victor nodded. “You think so?”“Yes.” Liora s

The road stretched ahead, quiet and almost eerily calm. Tara drove at a steady pace, the traffic lights shifting from red to green as cars moved along in an orderly rhythm. The afternoon sky was clear—bright, almost indifferent.Nothing likes her.Inside the car, it felt as though a storm had settl

“Mm… slow down, Adrian.”The voice stopped Tara in her tracks just as she reached the door to her husband’s study. It was familiar—far too familiar. For a moment, she wondered if she had misheard.“…There’s no way I can go slow when it’s you.”Tara’s heart seemed to stop. That voice… Adrian?She di
