Alena glanced at her phone, her expression tense as her fingers hovered over the screen. Lucas, sitting across from her, noticed her distracted demeanor and leaned in slightly. "Is everything alright? Are you okay?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.Startled, Alena looked up and quickly flipped her phone over, hiding the message she'd been staring at. She forced a smile and shook her head. "It's nothing—just a spam call," she replied, her voice a little too light.Lucas frowned but didn’t push further. Instead, he focused on the food in front of them. "You look a little tense. Are you sure everything’s okay?" he asked gently."I'm fine," she said quickly, eager to change the subject. She reached for the food, her eyes lighting up. "This is amazing! Honestly, the best meal I've had in a while. You should take me to places like this more often."Lucas chuckled, visibly relaxing. "I’m glad you like it. The ambience, the food... I wanted tonight to be perfect. And the moonlight help

Alena stared at the message on her phone, her heart racing. She clenched her fists, frustration surging through her. “Who the hell is this?” she muttered under her breath. But there was no time to dwell on this mysterious sender. Right now, her priority was finding Lucas.She hastily adjusted her dress, grabbed her bag, and left the room. Every step she took felt heavy with embarrassment as she walked through the restaurant alone, scanning the crowd for Lucas. When she reached the parking lot, she searched frantically, but his car was nowhere to be seen.Tears pricked her eyes as panic set in. She turned in every direction, desperate for a sign of him. Suddenly, she felt a hand tap her shoulder. Whirling around, she froze in shock.“Stephen?” she whispered, her voice trembling. Standing before her was Stephen, impeccably dressed in a tuxedo, his clean-shaven face as polished as Lucas’s. His presence felt intrusive and surreal. He was looking so handsome that Alena couldn't stop hersel

Alena looked at Lucas with a blank expression, and Lucas’s gaze remained steady. There was a sense of unease in the room, and Alena took a step back in nervous. She was taking steps in backward when her back collided with the door, Lucas came towards her and grabbed her arm and pulled her toward him."Are you scared of me?" Lucas asked, his voice filled with uncertainty and his eyes are teary red.Alena shook her head. "No, Lucas. I'm not scared of you but what happened to you" she said softly.But Lucas could see it in her eyes, the fear that lingered. "You’re scared of me. Scared that I might take advantage of you. Scared that I might hurt you. Scared that i might force myself on you"Tears welled up in Lucas’s eyes, and Alena could see the pain in his expression. Alena felt sympathy, but she also understood the weight of what Luka was saying."I know I'm the one who’s hurt you," Lucas admitted, his voice breaking. "Since that guy Stephen came into your life, I’ve been feeling l

Stephen took the ring out of the box and was about to slip it onto Alena’s finger when she abruptly pulled her hand back and said sharply, “What the hell is wrong with you?”She slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and glared at him with a heated expression. Stephen, still holding the ring, said coolly, “I bought this for my wife. You should be happy I’ve brought you such an expensive gift. But instead, you’re angry. What’s wrong?”He tried to maintain his composure, but Alena’s fury was evident. Pointing a finger at him, she snapped, “Don’t try to be clever with me, Stephen. How many times do I have to tell you that you are not my husband? My husband is Lucas.”Stephen’s expression darkened. He slammed his hand on the table, got up, and grabbed Alena by the arm, pulling her close.Now standing mere inches apart, their breaths mingled as Stephen asked, “How can you be so sure I’m not your husband? You don’t even remember your past. You’ve been living with a false reality for five

Alena rolled her eyes and said, "Why would I be jealous of any woman?" Stephen took a drag of his cigarette and replied, "Then why are you stopping me? What’s bothering you?"Alena, in a stern tone, responded, "Nothing's bothering me. I'm just saying that this is my house, and no woman is coming in. I have a child here, and my husband. I don’t want a stranger in this house."Stephen retorted, "She's my girlfriend. She's staying in my room. You’re acting like she’s going to walk around naked."Alena pointed a finger at him and said, "Listen," but before she could say more, they both heard footsteps approaching. It was Lucas, coming down the stairs. He looked at Stephen and Alena, then glanced at his watch."What are you two doing here at this time of the night?" Lucas asked.Stephen stepped forward and said, "See? Your wife is stopping me from having fun with my girlfriend."Lucas walked over, looking at Elena, and asked, "What’s going on, sweetheart?"Alena huffed, replying, "I live w
