I stared at Ethan’s face with shock. Stumbling back, I almost missed a step and fell flat on the ground, but luckily I caught myself on time.My heart thundered against my chest, my ears oblivious to the gasps echoing in the air along with Jennifer’s smug smile.All that rang in my mind endlessly were Ethan's words.How could he say that?Does he really mean them? I wondered, my heart twisting in pain, but the blank expression on his face told me that he was deadly serious.He actually wanted me out of his life with just barely two months into our marriage.“You can’t say that,” I whispered heartbrokenly.I watched as his lips twisted into a smirk, the edge curling upward cruelly.“And why can’t I?You think you were so important in my life didn't you?That you’ll continue to play with me as you liked and I’ll overlook it?How many times do I have to tell you that you are worthless to me?” He hissed, his eyes flickering into a dark expression one I had never seen on his face.My che

“What?” I asked with wide eyes, unable to control my shock.“How dare you?” Ethan growled from where he stood, and within a fraction of second, he was before Tyler, his hands wrapped tightly around his throat, ready to choke him to death.“Ethan!” Jennifer gasped.She ran towards him, her hands darted out, trying to pry his hands away but it was useless.Tyler’s lips curved into a sly smirk as he watched the bloodlust gleam in Ethan’s eyes—but still—he looked so unaffected.“Why are you so angry, Blackwood?It’s not my fault you don’t value the queen that she is,” Tyler spat, his hard gaze moving to me and it softened lightly.His stunning grey eyes locked on mine, holding me captive.Ethan pressed tighter ready to kill Tyler right there as his face reddened yet, the smirk never left his lips.“You have some nerve boy, trying to convert my wife in my presence,” Ethan hissed.His face clenched hard with anger, and his eyes—they raged with every intent to kill Tyler right there.A croo

Without looking back, I moved towards the door ready to walk through, but then Ethan’s next words froze me to the bone.“If you leave here today, Leah, you’ll pay me back the ten million you stole from my company,” Ethan’s cold voice rang around the room, halting my steps along with Tyler who stood beside me.My wide eyes turned to look at Ethan’s angry ones which were burning through me.I clenched my fists by my sides to stop myself from trembling.I had not stolen that money, Tina did, but I still bore the brunt of it till today.“You don’t need to threaten her over a change like that, Blackwood.The money will be transferred to you immediately,” Tyler snarled, moving closer to me as he held my hands.Ethan’s gaze followed his movements to where his hands were wrapped around mine as his eyes darkened.I turned to stare at Tyler.He was doing a lot for me already, but I did not want to owe him any favors.“No need for that Tyler, thank you for your help, but I’ll sort it out myself

The words choked on my chest, and all I could do was stand still and watch the man before me with wide eyes.“Jennifer?Ethan’s friend?” I breathed, my mind still unable to believe what I’ve heard.“Yes, her,” The old master gasped, his voice still low in fear.“But she…she—why would she do that?” I stammered.Still finding it impossible to believe that Jenifer could be as evil as that.I thought she saw the old master like her very own grandfather.She even called him—grandfather.“Why would she try to kill you grandfather? She has no reason to,” I pressed, wanting to know what would prompt a woman like Jennfier to do evil to the old master.The old master laughed. The tone of his laugh rumbled across the air, sending a cool chill in my skin that made me shiver.His voice was calm, low and sorrowful. “I also thought that too.Why would the same girl I took under my wings twelve years ago after her parents' death do that?The same child I fed and treated like my own—the little girl

“Cara,” The old master breathed.My chest choked up as I realized the last time I had seen her.She had been Ethan’s cook since he was young, and I knew he bore a lot of respect for her.But then, the woman was too quiet and secretive, she barely interacted with anyone.All she did was her job and then, she left without a word.But then—“Grandpa, are you sure Jennifer had not sighted Cara that day?” I asked, my mind reeling with the fear of something big.“Yes, I’m sure.She was too focused on making sure that I was dead, than to observe her environment,” he rasped, his gaze boring into mine.“Cara was hidden from her view, so there is no possible way Jennifer might have seen her,” he continued.But then, his wrinkled brows creased in confusion.“Why are you asking about that?Is something wrong?” He muttered in suspicion and I swallowed.Steeling myself, knowing my conclusion was right, I spoke. “Because, the last time Cara had come to this house was,” I paused, my fist trembling b
