It had been a while since the wedding.That morning, after Diego left for a meeting, Briella stood by the window of the master bedroom, sunlight spilling over her bare shoulders. Her legs still ached from the night before—Diego hadn’t let her sleep until well past dawn.She finally reached for the old, hidden phone Penny had given her.Her fingers hovered over the screen.Then she dialed.It rang once.Twice.“Briella?” Penny answered, too sweet. Too fake. “How are you? Settling in well?”“I want to see my brother,” Briella said flatly. “Now.”Silence.Then a light laugh.“Oh. That…” Penny’s tone shifted. “That’s not really necessary anymore, is it? You’re married now. Everything’s fine.”Briella’s jaw clenched. “What do you mean?”“You’re overthinking things,” Penny said smoothly. “Just enjoy your new life. Don’t ask about things that don’t matter anymore.”Briella’s grip on the phone tightened.“Where. Is. He.”“Briella,” Penny sighed, voice colder now. “Don’t ruin a good thing. You

Cordavia Country.Five Years Later.“Hey! Briella, do you even have a conscience? I’m the godmother of your two kids, remember!”Briella lounged on the sofa, her dark eyes as quiet and deep as a midnight sea, fringed with a hazy elegance.Long hair flowed down her shoulders, smooth and lustrous in natural waves.Every glance from her seemed like ripples across still water—gentle, captivating, impossible to look away from.Even Audrey, who saw her every day, couldn’t help but admire her again in silence.“Exactly,” Briella said with a nod, “That’s why you need to take even better care of them.”Audrey was holding one child in each arm, her head nearly bursting with exasperation.“Okay, okay! I brought you a car full of gifts this time—go open them!”Two soft, squishy bundles cheered in unison, “Thank you, Godmom!”They bolted outside in excitement to tear into the presents.Only then did Audrey let out a long sigh and plop down next to Briella, glaring at her.“You—you’re always slacki

The engagement party that rocked all of Avenlith ended in total disaster.Overnight, the Sawyer family became the laughingstock of the entire city, a punchline in every café and dinner table conversation.Inside the presidential suite."Well, look at you," Audrey teased through the video call. "Moving this fast? I've been keeping an eye on Avenlith even from abroad-I knew you'd take the Sawyer family down eventually, but I didn't think it would be this soon."Briella gently set her laptop aside and, wearing a pair of white gloves, bent over an old, yellowed book. She flipped through it slowly and carefully."Penny was the first because she was the one who personally forced poison down my throat. I'm not letting a single member of the Sawyer family off the hook. This is just the beginning. And we both know Penny and Emmet aren't the real brains of the family.""I know, it's Paige Sawyer," Audrey replied smoothly. "But honestly, with how pathetic the Sawyer family is now? Give me three

"Mommy, my sister and I... we want to start going to school," Koa said, sitting upright on the bed with a seriousness that made him look like a little adult.Briella propped her chin on her hand, her eyes soft with amusement. With her free hand, she gently pinched his cheek."You really didn't take after Mommy at all, huh? So studious! But-Koa, are you sure?"Koa's ears turned a little pink. "So... is that a yes?""Yes, of course. Whatever you two want." Briella smiled, clearly doting on him.The door creaked open a little.A tiny face peeked through the crack."Mommy? What are you and Brother talking about? Moa wants to hear too!"With that, she skipped and jumped up onto the bed."Your brother wants to start school. Do you want to go too?""Awwww..." Koa's bright face immediately collapsed into a pout.Briella chuckled at her daughter's reaction."Well, your brother makes a good point. Mommy will call Uncle Preston soon and ask him to help make arrangements."Moa looked at them both

Briella closed her experimental records, feeling unusually pleased.The project was progressing faster and smoother than expected. With luck, the first batch of trial pill would be ready in about a week.As she stepped out of the lab, through the glass wall she saw Preston standing there, a file in hand.She scanned her fingerprint to unlock the door."Preston? What's up?"He looked cheerful and handed her the file with a grin."I found an amazing villa! I just know you're going to love it.""Really? It's that good? You're acting way too excited."Briella arched a brow ever so slightly. Even in such a simple expression, there was an effortless charm that could shake someone's soul and stir the heart.Preston froze for a second, then nodded. "I even had to pull some strings to secure it. We still have time-let me show you now."Briella checked the time.Only 3:30 PM."Sure. Let's go."Preston led her down to the B1-level parking garage. The lighting flickered, and the tips of his ears
