“Enough, Leviana!” Adrian slammed the apartment door. He was out of breath, eyes hard with anger. “You’ve already ruined me with that fake footage. What more do you want from me?”Leviana lounged on the sofa with an elegant composure, a cynical curve at her red lips. She swirled her wine slowly, as if savoring every second of Adrian’s collapse.“What do I want?” Her voice was low and cutting. “Simple, Adrian. I want you by my side. No Deviana, no Vanessa. Just you and me.”Adrian clenched his fists. “You’re insane! I will never—”“Then…” Leviana rose and stepped toward him with a triumphant look. “I’ll send the footage to every major outlet. You know what will happen then. Your company will collapse, your family will be disgraced, and Deviana—” she leaned in so close he could feel her breath, “—will leave you for good.”Adrian went quiet. Her words felt like a blade to his chest. He knew his reputation already hung by a thread after the falsified footage leaked. If Leviana actually hi

“Leviana, what are you hiding?” Adrian’s voice cut sharply through the quiet of the luxurious living room. He held an envelope in his hand — he’d found it in a hidden drawer in Leviana’s bedroom — and now he slammed it onto the glass table.Leviana, perched on the sofa with a glass of red wine, turned slowly. Her calm was a mask; for a split second a flicker of panic crossed her eyes before she smoothed it away. “Adrian,” she said with a faint smile, “rifling through a woman’s private things isn’t very gentlemanly.”Adrian stepped forward and tipped the envelope. Photographs and documents slid out — medical records, bank statements, and a letter from a psychiatrist. “Do you think I don’t have the right to know after every trap you set for me?” he demanded.Leviana straightened. Her face hardened; her lips trembled briefly. “Don’t touch that,” she whispered, low but edged with threat.Adrian held her gaze, but beneath the chill in his stare there was a trace of surprise. He had expecte

“Devi, are you serious?” Lila stared at her friend in shock as the large suitcase was dragged out of the apartment room.Deviana paused for a moment, her hand still gripping the suitcase handle. “I can’t take it anymore, Lila. Every time I open my eyes, Adrian and Leviana haunt me. I… I have to leave.”“Leave where?” Lila’s voice rose, her eyes filling with tears. “You’re just going to run away? Leave your job, leave everything here?”Deviana drew a long breath, trying to steady the tremor in her voice. “I’m not running. I’m trying to save myself. If I stay, I will fall apart.”A few minutes later, Deviana sat on the sofa with the suitcase at her side. Lila still stood, arms crossed over her chest.“Devi, think about it. Is leaving this city really the solution? You still have dreams, a career, and—” “And pain!” Deviana cut in sharply. Tears slipped down her cheeks, her fists clenched. “Every corner of this city reminds me of Adrian. The restaurant we used to go to, the street where h

“Adrian… darling, I’m here.”The voice sounded coy, calling his name again and again.Adrian tried to open his eyes. His vision was blurred; the bright white lights of the hospital stabbed at his sight. His body felt heavy, breath still trapped in his chest. But the voice kept coming, growing sharper in his ears.When his sight finally cleared, Adrian saw Leviana seated beside the bed, clutching his hand as if she would never let go.“Thank goodness you’re awake…” she whispered with a sweet smile.Adrian frowned. “Leviana?” His voice was hoarse, barely audible.“Yes, me. Your most faithful one,” Leviana answered quickly. “You don’t have to worry anymore. I’ll always be here for you.”---Adrian tried to move his hand, attempting to free it from her grip, but his body was still weak. He shook his head slightly. “Let go, Leviana…”Leviana fell silent for a moment, then offered a thin smile. “Why should I? I just want to take care of you. No one can do it better than I can.”“Stop preten

“Pick up, Deviana… please, don’t ignore me.”Adrian stared at the glowing phone screen, the ringing tone echoing again and again, but no answer came. His fingers clutched the device tightly, his face etched with worry. He had called more than ten times since morning, yet Deviana refused to answer.He stood by the edge of the hospital bed, the IV line still attached to his hand. His body wasn’t fully healed, but his mind was consumed by only one thought: Deviana.---Across town, Deviana’s phone buzzed on the studio desk. She glanced at it briefly, Adrian’s name flashing clearly on the screen. Her heart trembled, but she quickly pressed the silent button.“No… I can’t anymore,” she whispered to herself, her voice hoarse as she fought back tears.Lila, sitting on the couch, watched her with concern. “You’re not going to answer?”Deviana shook her head quickly. “I can’t, Lila. After everything Leviana said yesterday… I don’t want to hear his voice again. I’m afraid I’ll only grow weaker.
