Chapter 1

“Revan… I’m here.”Aruna’s soft voice was almost drowned out by the sound of rain that had just stopped.Her hand clutched a plastic bag filled with medicine, her fingers pale from the cold. In the other hand, she held a small box containing the birthday cake she had spent all night making—simple, but filled with love for Revan, the man she loved more than anything.She stood for a long time in front of Revan’s iron gate.The house that once echoed with laughter and sweet promises now looked dazzling, crowded, and foreign.“He said he was sick…” Aruna murmured softly. “Then why… do I hear music?”Gentle piano notes and the laughter of people drifted from inside.With hesitant steps, she opened the gate and walked toward the terrace.Chandeliers glittered above her; guests in elegant clothes held glasses of champagne.And there, in the center of the room—under the brightest light—Revan was kneeling, holding a ring.“Celine…” Revan’s voice was clear, steady, full of certainty. “Will yo

“Stop crying, Aruna…”The voice was faint—coming from her own trembling lips.But the tears refused to stop.Her steps were heavy as she walked down the narrow path away from Revan’s house.The rain poured hard again, biting into her skin, soaking her hair until it clung to her face.But the cold was nothing compared to the ache trembling inside her chest.“He even… threw away the cake…” she whispered hoarsely.Her trembling fingers clutched the dented cake box.“God, I just wanted him to get better… why did it turn out like this?”Her steps faltered as she stumbled toward the parking area where her old motorcycle waited.The lights from Revan’s house still glowed behind her—bright, grand, dazzling.Mocking her. Whispering, You don’t belong here.Aruna started the engine, her hands shaking.The rain lashed against her face mercilessly, but she didn’t care.She just wanted to leave. Far away. From everything.---“Why, Revan… why were you so cruel to me?”She spoke to the air, to the d

“She’s awake! Quick, call the doctor!”The voice echoed faintly in Aruna’s ears, as if coming from a faraway place.Aruna blinked slowly. A blinding white light pierced her eyes. The sharp scent of antiseptic filled her nose.Everything felt unfamiliar. Cold. Empty.“W-where am I?” her voice rasped, barely a whisper.Her body felt heavy. An IV tube was attached to her arm, bandages wrapped around her stomach and head.“Calm down. You’re in the hospital.”A deep, baritone voice came from beside her bed — low, steady, reassuring.Aruna turned her head slightly.Standing there was a man in a sleek black suit. His hair was neatly combed, his features sharp yet composed.His gaze was piercing, but within it flickered something strange — compassion, and perhaps… admiration.“Who… are you?” Aruna asked weakly.The man offered a faint smile. “I’m the one who helped you last night. My name is Leonard.”He pulled a chair closer and sat beside her, eyes never leaving her face.“I happened to pas

“Aruna, look at me.”Leonard’s voice came calm but sharp from behind the bedroom door.Aruna stood before the tall mirror, dressed in a silver-black satin gown. Her hand slowly brushed through her long hair, now styled elegantly. Her face was expressionless—cold and poised, like a marble statue.“I told you,” she said flatly without turning, “I don’t like being called like that without a reason.”Leonard entered with steady steps, wearing a crisp white shirt and a dark gray suit. His gaze lingered on her reflection.“I have a reason,” he said simply, leaning against the vanity.“Revan is getting married next week.”The comb in Aruna’s hand froze mid-air.Silence filled the room.Slowly, she placed the comb down.“Repeat that,” she said softly.Leonard’s tone held no trace of jest. “Your ex. Revan. He’s marrying Celine.”Aruna smiled faintly—a smile more like a wound than joy.“He forgot quickly,” she murmured.Then she turned, her eyes burning sharp.“And you’re telling me this becaus

“Excuse me! Is anyone home?”The deep, hoarse voice echoed through the front yard of Leonard’s grand villa.Drizzles of rain dampened the driveway, filling the air with cold and mist.A middle-aged man stood before the tall iron gate. His clothes were plain, his face weary, and his eyes red from holding back tears.It was Mr. Darman — Aruna’s father — the man who had spent months searching for his daughter who had vanished without a trace.The security guard eyed him warily. “Who are you, sir?”“I… I’m Aruna’s father,” he said shakily. “Please… tell her her father is here. I just want to see my daughter, to know she’s alright.”The guards exchanged glances, then one nodded. “Wait here, sir. I’ll let them know.”Mr. Darman nodded, clutching his hat tightly to his chest, his hands trembling.> “Aruna… my child, I hope you really are happy like people say,” he whispered faintly.Meanwhile, Leonard had just stepped out of his car with Aruna when one of the guards approached.“Sir, sorry t

> “Are you sure this suits me?”Aruna’s soft voice broke the elegant silence of the luxury boutique.She stood before the tall mirror, wrapped in a champagne-colored gown that hugged her figure perfectly. Her face was calm, yet her eyes were sharp — the kind of sharpness born from someone who had learned to hide her scars behind grace.The boutique attendant smiled politely. “Yes, Mrs. Leonard. This gown is from our limited collection. There’s only one in the entire city.”Aruna gave a small nod. “Alright. I’ll take this one—and the black one over there.”She looked at her reflection again, as if trying to convince herself that the woman in the mirror was truly her new self.Before the attendant could write down her order, a shrill, familiar voice echoed from the entrance.> “Oh my God… look who we have here!”Celine stood in the doorway, wearing oversized sunglasses and a flashy dress.Two of her friends giggled behind her, their eyes sweeping Aruna from head to toe.Aruna turned slo

“Mrs. Leonard Arken, this way, please.” Aruna stopped walking. Her fingers tightened around the small clutch in her hand. She lifted her eyes slowly toward the massive double doors ahead—polished mahogany framed with gold carvings. Behind them came the murmur of voices, laughter softened by crystal glasses, the low hum of power she had never belonged to. She drew a breath. “…Alright.” The doors opened. Light spilled out like a sudden wave, warm and blinding. Chandeliers glittered above a hall filled with silk gowns, tailored suits, and faces that carried the effortless confidence of people born into privilege. For a brief moment, Aruna felt the weight of every step she had taken to arrive here. Then— A hand settled at the small of her back. “Walk,” Leonard murmured beside her. “Don’t hesitate.” She glanced at him. Leonard Arken stood tall in a black tuxedo, his posture unyielding, his presence commanding the room without effort. His gaze never wavered, as if this world bent

“Careful, Mrs. Arken.” The warning came softly—but not kindly. Aruna paused mid-step, her heel hovering just above the marble floor. She turned her head slightly toward the woman who had spoken, a tall figure wrapped in ivory silk, pearls resting at her throat like a badge of status. “Yes?” Aruna replied calmly. The woman smiled. “These floors are imported from Italy. Very… unforgiving to people who aren’t used to walking in places like this.” A few women nearby chuckled behind their glasses. Aruna slowly lowered her heel and straightened her posture. “Thank you for your concern,” she said evenly. “I walk just fine.” The woman’s smile tightened. “Of course you do.” Leonard’s hand appeared at Aruna’s side. “Is there a problem?” The woman turned instantly polite. “Not at all, Mr. Arken. We were just chatting.” Leonard’s eyes flicked briefly to Aruna. “Were you?” Aruna nodded once. “Yes. About floors.” Leonard held the woman’s gaze for a moment longer than necessary. “I see,

“Sit.” Leonard’s voice was firm, cutting through the quiet of the private lounge. Aruna stopped near the window, the city lights of City A glittering beneath the glass like a distant galaxy. She turned slowly, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. “You sound like you’re issuing an order,” she said. Leonard loosened his tie and gestured toward the leather sofa. “In my world, clarity sounds like command. Sit, Aruna.” She studied him for a second, then sat, crossing her legs with composed elegance. “Alright,” she said. “Teach me.” Leonard poured two glasses of amber liquor, sliding one toward her. “I don’t drink,” Aruna reminded him. “I know,” Leonard replied. “This isn’t for comfort. It’s for focus.” She didn’t touch the glass. “Start talking,” she said. Leonard leaned back, his eyes sharp. “What you saw tonight was politeness layered over hostility,” he began. “The upper world doesn’t fight with fists. It fights with smiles.” Aruna let out a quiet laugh. “I

“Turn it off.” Aruna’s voice was calm, but her fingers were clenched tightly on the edge of the table. The large television screen in the living room continued to glow, flashing images that made her chest tighten. > —‘The mysterious woman beside Leonard Arken has finally been revealed—’ —‘Who is Mrs. Leonard Arken?’ —‘From obscurity to the top of City A’s elite—’ Leonard stood near the window, his posture relaxed, one hand in his pocket. “Don’t,” he said. “Watch.” Aruna shot him a sharp look. “They’re dissecting my face like I’m a product.” Leonard turned slowly. “That’s exactly what you are now.” Her jaw tightened. “You could have warned me.” “I did,” Leonard replied calmly. “I told you the upper world doesn’t whisper. It broadcasts.” On the screen, a female anchor smiled professionally. > “—Sources confirm that Mrs. Leonard Arken appeared at the Arken Group’s private gala last night. Despite being absent from public records until recently, she has already drawn significa
