Elena’s heart ached the way he said it, like it was a truth he had long accepted but never quite healed from.Subconsciously, she held his palm, letting the warmth seep into his bones.“She let them win,” Lucas said, his voice almost distant now. “She let them take everything from her, strip away her dignity, her self-respect, everything. And she just… accepted it.”For the longest time, Lucas had kept his pain buried, locked away where no one could reach it.But now, standing here, staring into the eyes of the one person who had dared to tear open old wounds, he let the truth slip through the cracks.His mother was not a saint.Not a symbol of tragic loss.She was a woman who had surrendered, and

He then turned his head, his gaze unreadable as he studied her. “If I lose everything, will you despise me?”“You won’t.”Her voice was steady, unwavering.Not a single trace of doubt.Lucas didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I’m not omnipotent, you know. Why are you so sure?”Elena didn’t answer right away.Instead, she reached out, trailing her nails lightly over the back of his hand.“You won’t lose.” She said softly.Don’t ask how or why.She just knew it.Lucas’ lips curled up.He leaned forward, burying his face in the curve of her neck.His arms wrapped tightly around her waist. “I’m tired,” he

Dylan wasn’t just setting a challenge, he was testing Lucas.Elena wasn’t just his daughter; she was the CEO of Pristine Enterprise.A position that carried weight, power, and enemies.While he and Yvette had always been her strongest pillars of support, time was uncertain.He didn’t know how long they’d be around to shield her.And Elena, despite her strength, carried too much on her young shoulders.She needed someone who wouldn’t just love her but would stand beside her when the weight of her responsibilities became too much.Someone who could weather storms with her, fight battles without hesitation, and most importantly, someone who would never betray her trust.Lucas had already proven his devo

Originally, he had planned a surprise for Elena.A night just for the two of them.He had intended to whisk her away, somewhere only they knew.But just as he was about to set things in motion, his grandma called, asking him to pick Naomi up from the airport.For a second, he had to process who Naomi was.Then it clicked on him that she was the blonde who paraded around calling herself his friend.His immediate response was a flat-out no.But Helen, being his own grandma, didn’t take rejection well.With her expertise, she launched into full-fledged emotional blackmail.And really, who could stand their ground against an elderly woman wielding guilt like a weapon?And just like that, he postponed his plans and dro

Elena stood on the open balcony, her arms resting against the cool railing as she gazed at the city lights sprawling beneath her.The dazzling skyline stretched endlessly, yet her mind was elsewhere.The cool air bit at her skin, sobering her up.Lucas had said he’d be back soon.But it had been over half an hour, and he still hadn’t returned.An unsettling weight pressed against her chest, tight and suffocating.Once bitten, twice shy.Her last marriage had crumbled under the weight of betrayal and infidelity.She had sworn never to let herself fall into that abyss again.Yet, no matter how much she tried to silence the thoughts creeping into her mind, doubt slithered in.She didn’t want to be that wo
