“Mom… do you really think I can do it?”Tessa’s hands stilled as she spoke, her eyes glistening with tears.When Grace looked up, she caught sight of a single tear sliding down her daughter’s cheek.The sight pierced her heart.She hadn’t realized how much pressure Tessa had been under.All this time, she thought she’d been protecting her well enough—that Tessa didn’t have to worry about these things. But now she saw how naïve that thought had been.“You…”Before Grace could finish, Tessa’s tears began to fall even harder.“I’m sorry, Mom. I know I haven’t done well, but I really am trying my best. I’ve seen how much pressure you’ve been under lately. Even if I didn’t say it out loud, I know you’re exhausted.”“Tessa, don’t think that way. You’re already doing well.”Seeing her cry like that, Grace grew flustered and quickly reached out to comfort her. “You just need to be yourself. You don’t have to compare yourself to anyone else. Thinking like that is a mistake. As long as you’re b

Arnold felt a chill crawl up his spine.Why did he always end up locking eyes with Tessa at the worst possible moment?The last time it happened, he’d been shaken for days, pretending not to notice anything had been the only way to keep himself safe from suspicion.And now, once again, their gazes met squarely. Would she start imagining things about him again?It was clearer than ever to Arnold that Tessa wasn’t just temperamental. She was volatile.Anyone who crossed her never came out unscathed. She lived entirely in her own world, where every slight, real or imagined, demanded payback.So lately, he’d made it a rule to steer clear of her whenever possible.Something about her wasn’t right. Even her tone when speaking to Grace was gentle and sweet, yet the look she gave him was cold and unnerving. The contrast alone was enough to make his skin crawl.Arnold quickly averted his eyes, pretending to focus elsewhere.Seeing that, Tessa withdrew her gaze as well.She would have someone k

The thought darkened Joseph’s eyes. He had given up everything back home for Judy—his job, position, and stability. If he couldn’t bring her back with him, then he wouldn’t return at all.He finally tracked her down, only to see her sitting in a restaurant with Kenneth. A couples’ restaurant, no less.This time, he didn’t hesitate. He went straight there, heart pounding. It had been so long since he’d seen her; to say he hadn’t missed her would’ve been a lie. He had fallen deeply for her, but what she’d done cut him to the core.Wasn’t it enough for her to stay by his side? Why did she have to do something that hurt him this way? Why did it all have to turn into such a mess between them?On the drive over, memories of their time together flooded his mind. Every smile, conversation, and quiet night they’d shared—he replayed them all, searching for signs of when things had changed.He couldn’t find any. When had she started to drift away from him?Had it been when he got too caught up

The words dripped with provocation, each one meant to drive a wedge between them. Judy could feel her composure starting to crack.No wonder people said that dating the wrong man left a permanent mark.She finally understood how true that was. The mere sight of Joseph now made her stomach turn. How could she ever have been with someone like him?Kenneth’s expression darkened. He turned to Joseph, his voice calm but firm. “I already know about that. It has nothing to do with you. I chose Judy, and that means I accept everything about her—the good and the bad.”Joseph let out a sharp, disbelieving laugh. “You call that being a man? Accepting the bad and pretending it doesn’t exist?”Kenneth’s tone stayed even, but there was a hint of contempt beneath it. “You talk about being a man, yet you stand here tearing open her wounds for everyone to see. That’s not love; that’s cruelty.”“Cruelty?” Joseph’s brows knitted, his voice rising. “You think you can lecture me about love? Do you even kno

“But it’s fine,” Lucas said quietly, his tone calm but steady. “We’ll just take it as it comes. We’re already here. No point in turning back now.”Aurora nodded after a brief pause. “You’re right.”She straightened her shoulders. Whatever this dinner turned out to be, better to face it head-on than let it drag on later. They were already at the gate; leaving now would only make things awkward.Sure enough, as soon as they stepped inside, Grace’s cheerful voice carried across the courtyard. “You two finally made it! I’ve been waiting so long.”“Mom, I’m here now, aren’t I?” Aurora replied evenly, her expression unreadable.Lucas stood quietly beside her, saying nothing, perfectly composed as if he were just part of the background.Grace didn’t mind his silence. He was, after all, the wealthiest man in Ravenshore, and his empire stretched across industries. A bit of aloofness was practically expected. The rich were entitled to their eccentricities, and with her own goals in mind, Grace
