“Vania, you need to know something.”Arga stopped Vania in the courtyard of the Montgomery estate. His face was serious, his voice low yet firm.Vania turned with a furrowed brow. “What is it, Arga? You look… worried.”Arga exhaled, locking his gaze on hers. “Devandra was just summoned by Grandfather Montgomery. And in that room… he boldly declared you’re still his fiancée.”---Vania froze. Her eyes widened. “What?” Her voice trembled between shock and anger.Arga nodded, holding back his own emotions. “I overheard part of the conversation. He said you’ll come back to him. As if this is only a matter of time.”“He’s… insane,” Vania whispered, her fists clenching. “How dare he say that after everything that’s happened? After I’ve made it clear I rejected him?!”---Arga stepped closer, trying to calm her. “I know, Vania. But your grandfather—he seemed uncertain. Devandra made it sound like you’re just confused, and sooner or later you’ll choose him.”Vania let out a bitter, almost hys

“Vania, did you see the news this morning?”Adrian’s voice, her personal assistant, sounded hurried at the other end of the phone.“What now?” Vania answered wearily, sitting at her desk with her laptop open.Adrian hesitated, then said, “They… aired an old clip. A snippet of the time you and Arga were first seen in public. The camera angle… makes you look like the homewrecker.”“Homewrecker?” Vania stood up suddenly; her chair screeched. “That’s not true! Everyone knows Arga already—”“But the public doesn’t care about the truth, Miss,” Adrian interrupted. “They only see what the media wants to show.”---That afternoon Vania braved opening social media. Her fingers trembled as her phone screen filled with comments.> “No wonder — she’s just a shadow of Liora!”“That woman has no shame, she destroys families for ambition.”“Poor Arga, he clearly still loves Liora but is forced to be with this woman.”Her eyes heated. She slammed the phone shut and bowed her head. “Why do they always

“Vania, we need to talk now.”Devandra’s voice cut sharply through the silent afternoon in Vania’s study.Vania, who was organizing documents, startled to find the man standing in the doorway uninvited. “Devandra? I didn’t ask you to come.”“No need to wait for an invitation from you.” Devandra stepped in and closed the door behind him. The slam made Vania’s heart race.“If you’re here to discuss the slander you spread in the media, I’m not interested,” Vania said firmly, trying to keep her distance.Devandra smiled crookedly and took a step closer. “Slander? Vania, I only showed the world your true face. And oddly, even though everyone hates you, I… still can’t stay away from you.”Vania frowned, confused by the remark. “What do you mean?”Without answering, Devandra grabbed her wrist. The touch made Vania jolt. “Let go, Devandra!”But he pulled her nearer. The sharp scent of his masculine cologne assaulted Vania’s senses. Devandra stared into her eyes. “You’re still thinking of Arga

The night air was cold, brushing against Vania’s skin as she faced Liora in front of the dim café. The silence between them stretched for a few seconds, tense and heavy.“You know how to destroy Devandra?” Vania repeated, her voice low but firm.Liora nodded, glancing around nervously as if expecting someone to emerge from the shadows. “Yes. But it comes with a price. And once you hear this, there’s no turning back.”Vania folded her arms, trying to steady her breath. “Then speak. I’ve had enough of his games.”Liora bit her lip before whispering, “Devandra has a network. Politicians, businessmen, media figures. He keeps them close through… secrets. He collects evidence of their wrongdoings, then uses it as leverage.”Vania frowned. “Blackmail?”“Yes.” Liora’s voice cracked. “I was part of it. Not willingly, but I was dragged in. He used my career, my reputation, even… my past with Arga, to keep me silent.” Her eyes glistened. “But now, after seeing how he’s destroying you, I can’t ke

“Liora, have you seen this?”A media manager dropped a newspaper onto the glass table. The front page was splashed with a bold headline:“Vania’s New Scandal: Devandra’s Kiss, Arga a Victim Again?”Liora lowered her gaze. Her fingers clenched the coffee cup so tightly it nearly cracked. “I’ve seen it. Everyone’s talking about it.”The manager smirked. “This is golden. Your name is rising too, thanks to your connection with Arga. Countless talk shows want you on again.”“I…” Liora swallowed hard. “…I’m not sure I want to speak about this anymore.”“Don’t be foolish, Liora.” The manager’s voice rose. “Fame doesn’t come twice. All you need to do is protect your image—let the gossip work for you.”As soon as the manager left, Liora stared into the mirror across the room. Her face looked flawless, covered only with a touch of makeup, but her eyes trembled.“What is all this even for…?” she whispered.She turned on the TV. A replay of Vania’s press conference filled the screen: the woman wa
