Althea was mesmerized by the sight around her.The moment she opened her eyes—after everything that had happened—she chose to keep the memory tucked safely in her heart. It was something too precious to put into words. One of the most beautiful moments in her life. Made even more so by the chance to admire the man she knew, deep down, she truly loved.“How lucky I am,” she whispered to herself. Her fingers reached out, hovering just above Daven’s temple, almost brushing aside the loose strands of hair that had fallen across his forehead. But she stopped. She didn’t dare. Having spent the night beside him was already more than she had ever dreamed of. And now, watching him sleep so peacefully only deepened the ache in her chest—a bittersweet mix of joy and pain.“Thank you ... for granting my wish.” Her hands curled into fists as she quietly added, “I’m sorry if I was selfish.”She gently adjusted the blanket covering Daven’s body, making sure he was warm and comfortable. Then, slowly,

That morning, Daven’s room work was filled with the gentle aroma of jasmine tea and warm, buttered toast. Sunlight filtered through the tall windows behind his desk, casting a soft glow over the man now leaning back in his chair, eyes fixed on the woman carefully pouring tea into a cup.Althea looked composed, calm. Her smile wasn’t wide, but it was enough to warm the room a little more than usual.“Is this enough?” she asked as she placed the teacup beside Daven’s plate.He gave a short nod. “Yeah.”“I’m sorry I didn’t make you coffee. I think we’re out of the beans you like. I’ll pick some up this afternoon.”Again, Daven gave only a brief nod.They ate in silence for a moment. Only the soft clink of cutlery filled the air. But if someone were to ask how Althea felt—it was complicated. She didn’t quite understand why Daven wanted to eat here, away fro

“Why are you coming up with me?” Daven asked, clearly puzzled by Vanessa’s behavior. Normally, she’d have him drop her off somewhere before he headed to the office.But today, she was doing the opposite.“Am I not allowed?” Vanessa replied sweetly, her voice dripping honey. “Do you mind?”Truthfully, Daven never complained about anything she did. He was used to Vanessa doing whatever she pleased. And this—this clinginess—wasn’t new.“I just wanted to walk my future husband to his office,” she added with a radiant smile, slipping her arm through his and leaning into him as if it were the most natural thing in the world. She didn’t seem to care that her every move was being watched. Employees had started arriving, and some turned their heads, whispering and glancing curiously.Of course they would. Vanessa Blake was hard to miss.She wasn’t just a beautiful woman. She was a well-known model, frequently featured by top brands, and occasionally appeared in big-screen films—even if only in

“Hmm... I think that’s enough.” Althea gave her shopping bags one last glance, mentally checking off each item. She’d even managed to get the exact brand of coffee Daven liked. That meant today’s grocery run was a success.She pulled the car into the driveway, the warm afternoon sun kissing her face as she opened the door and reached for the bags. She walked up the stone path toward the back kitchen entrance, only to be greeted by Lena rushing out to help.“Ma’am, let me take those for you,” Lena offered, reaching for the bags.“It’s not heavy, Lena,” Althea replied gently, smiling as she kept her hold on them.Lena pouted, clearly disapproving. “You always do this by yourself, Mrs. Althea. What are we here for if not to help you?”Althea chuckled. “You already do so much around here, Lena. It’s just a few things, and I don’t mind putting them away.”She knew the staff might not have been allowed to fully accept her as the lady of the house, but they treated her with quiet respect. Th

“Mm… why is it so soft?” Althea mumbled, her voice barely above a whisper. Her eyelids fluttered open as a soft morning light filtered in, helping her vision adjust.Instinctively, she reached around, expecting to find her usual things—her stuffed bunny, the phone she always left nearby so she could check the time the moment she woke.But something was off.Wait…“This isn’t… my room?” she breathed, blinking rapidly in confusion. Was she dreaming? Her senses scrambled to make sense of it all—the feel of the comforter, the plushness of the mattress, and then... that faint, unmistakably masculine scent.Familiar. Warm. Clean.Daven Callister.Panic surged through her chest. What was she doing here? And more importantly—where was he?“You’re awake?”His voice sent a jolt down her spine.Althea turned sharply toward the source. Ther

“I'm a terrible person,” Althea whispered, her voice so faint it nearly disappeared beneath the soft hum of the café. She didn’t even dare lift her eyes to meet Lydia’s.Lydia gently placed a hand on Althea’s shoulder. The two of them were seated in a quiet corner of a downtown café. Normally, Althea would never call Lydia out of the blue—she always made plans, always gave a heads-up. But earlier that day, Lydia had picked up a call only to hear Althea crying, and panic had set in immediately.Since meeting, Althea hadn’t said a word. Her face was pale, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her swollen eyes were proof enough of the hours she must have spent in tears.“What happened?” Lydia finally asked, careful to keep her tone gentle. She didn’t want to press, but something had clearly gone wrong. Something serious. Deep down, Lydia had always felt uneasy about Althea getting involved with th

“Do I need to say goodbye?” Althea asked with a bitter laugh.As she stepped out of the car, her eyes lingered on the house she had lived in for the past year. It hadn’t given her many sweet memories, but she had still been a part of it. And for that, a part of her was grateful—grateful for the chance to stand beside someone as kind and genuine as Evelyn Callister, Daven’s grandmother.“I won’t forget you, Omma,” she whispered. “I’ll visit you tomorrow, but I’m sorry... it might be the last time.” Her grip tightened around the strap of her bag. “Tonight’s my last night here.”The moment she walked into the Callister house, she was met with sharp, disdainful eyes.Felicia looked her up and down with a sneer, while Kalina let out an exaggerated cough—though her stare was just as contemptuous.“Wow, she really doesn’t know the meaning of shame,&

“How long was I slept?” Althea had no idea what had just happened—was it sleep, or had she passed out? All she knew was that when she opened her eyes, she was lying weakly on the floor. Her body ached in several places, her limbs throbbed with discomfort, and her toes felt icy cold from resting directly on the bare floor.But more than anything else, she needed to know, “What time is it?”She pushed herself up slowly, wincing as pain bloomed in her joints. The dizziness hadn’t quite faded either. Glancing around her room, everything looked the same—no signs of anyone having come in.“What were you hoping for, Althea?” she whispered with a bitter smile. As if someone in this house would come looking for her—checking in on her just because she wasn’t seen doing her usual chores. “They’re probably hoping I’m gone already.”She sighed deeply, then looked at the wall clock. One in the morning.“It’s already this late... and I still have so much to do.”But before she resumed packing up her

“Open the suitcase,” Kate ordered again.Felicia and Kalina let out delighted laughs, clearly enjoying every second of watching Althea being cornered and humiliated. For them, there was nothing more satisfying than seeing her powerless—especially when she had no words left to defend herself.“Of course we have to check,” Felicia chimed in, her voice dripping with mock concern. “For the sake of the Callister family’s reputation. After all, someone with your background might be tempted to take more than what she’s entitled to.”Althea remained composed as one of the suitcases was dragged closer to them. “Go ahead. I haven’t taken anything that doesn’t belong to me.”“Yeah, yeah—keep spouting nonsense, Althea,” Kate scoffed, folding her arms across her chest. “But if I find even one valuable item in there, you’ll face the consequences.”

“Thank you,” Althea said coldly, her voice calm but distant.The words were meant for Daven, who had insisted on helping her. Lena quietly followed her, walking Althea to the front door. Daven carried one of the suitcases in silence, having said nothing since the scene that unfolded back in the dining room—chaos that had started with his own mother.“I’ll drive you,” Daven finally said.Althea shook her head firmly. “That won’t be necessary. You should focus on your work. I’m sure there’s plenty waiting for you.” She glanced at the watch on her wrist. “The person picking me up will be here any minute now.”“Just tell me where you’re going, and I’ll take you. I’m not letting you leave alone,” he said, his tone brooking no argument.“Don’t make this harder than it already is.” Althea offered a faint smile. “I’m not
