Isabella opened the door with a light smile on her face. She thought it was Tim, maybe back early from his quick run to get groceries. “Oh, you’re back so quickly,” she said casually as she opened the door wider, expecting to see his familiar face.But it wasn’t Tim.The woman standing in front of her looks peaceful. with a subtle glare that couldn’t be missed. Isabella raised her head, still smiling politely, the kind of warm smile that was hard to distrust. “Hello, are you here to see Tim?” she asked.Julia’s heart dropped the moment she saw the woman. This wasn’t just any woman. She was stunning. Her skin glowed without makeup, her smile was gentle and confident, and to make matters worse, she was wearing Tim’s shirt. Julia’s gut twisted, jealousy crept in, and it almost swept her away. She forced a small smile that barely touched her eyes.“Yes, I’m here to see him, please, where is he?” Julia asked politely, shocking herself.Isabella didn’t notice the storm brewing behind the gu

She was pointing fastly at her small purse, her breathing shallow and panicked. Flora didn’t waste another second. She dashed across the room, grabbed the purse, and fumbled with the zipper until she found the small inhaler. Her hands shook as she handed it over, watching Isabella quickly bring it to her lips. Flora helped her onto the bed gently, placing a pillow behind her and keeping her upright.Isabella took a few sharp breaths, the medication already working its way through her system. After a few minutes, the heaviness in her chest calmed. Flora stayed beside her, one hand resting lightly on her back, ready in case she needed more support. The room was silent except for Isabella’s slowing breaths.“You’re okay now. Just rest,” Flora whispered, still sitting at the edge of the bed. Isabella nodded weakly and leaned back.She remained with her for a while longer, quietly observing. There was something different about this moment. Maybe it was the fear of losing her, or maybe it wa

“Hey... you’re finally awake.”Angelie turned her head slowly toward the voice. Damien stood at the foot of the bed, dressed in a soft cream sweater and navy pants. His face carried a smile, but his eyes held something unreadable. The sunlight trickled in through the blinds behind him, casting long lines across the marble floor.“The doctor said you’d wake up tired and probably hungry. I told the maids to bring your food, it’ll be here soon.”She didn’t respond immediately. Her eyes drifted around the room. Everything was foreign—immaculate white walls, elegant drapes, soft plush rugs. The room was beautiful, but it wasn’t hers. Her mind raced, trying to recall how she got there, but everything was hazy. It felt like waking up from a strange dream that somehow never ended.“Damien, where is this place?” she finally asked.Before he could answer, a woman dressed in a blue uniform entered the room carrying a silver tray. She moved silently, placed the tray on the small center table, and

“Why did you change from the man I knew to this? I can’t recognize you anymore. Okay, I wronged you. I apologize, but for the sake of my babies, let me go. I promise I won’t tell anyone you’re behind this. Just let me go.”Angelie’s voice was barely more than a whisper, trembling with fear and exhaustion. Her eyes were red and puffy, her body weak, but her spirit hadn’t completely crumbled, not yet. She looked at him, searching his face for any sign of humanity or the man she once knew. Damien didn’t move at first, then gently gestured to the chair near the bed.“Sit,” he said. His voice was soft but firm.She obeyed slowly, tears streaming silently down her cheeks.“I can never harm you, Angelie,” he began, kneeling in front of her. “That’s how much I love you. When you bumped into me that first day, my heart skipped a beat. I hadn’t felt anything like that in years. I wanted to do it the right way. I wanted you to fall in love with me naturally. But you... You were so wrapped up in

Tim is my friend, and he works in our company. I work under him. He has been the one teaching me everything... A small world indeed," Isabella said, her mouth hanging open as the realization hit her fully. She shook her head slowly, a chuckle escaping her lips in disbelief.Flora clutched her handbag, eyes wide. "Do you know where he stays? My friend might be there. Maybe she is sick or..." She paused, as if her tongue refused to say what her mind feared. "Has she given birth already? This should be it. She should have given birth."Isabella looked at her carefully, weighing her next words. Telling her the truth might trigger something dangerous. Flora's pregnancy wasn't yet stable, and the doctors had strictly warned her to avoid any stress. But how was she supposed to lie convincingly now?"Let’s just go home, Flora. I’m sure Angelie will call you when she’s back. Maybe she just travelled for a while."Flora wasn’t convinced. She was already tapping her foot, arms crossed."There is
