Alliyah AgustinAfter three long days of being confined in the hospital, I was finally cleared for discharge, though the relief I expected to feel never quite settled in my chest the way it should have. Instead of feeling light and free, there was a strange weight lingering inside me, something quiet but persistent, as if the real aftermath of everything had only just begun the moment I stepped out of those sterile walls.Alexander had stayed by my side the entire time, never once leaving, never once showing any sign of inconvenience or hesitation, and instead of appreciating the effort and care he had given so willingly.I found myself growing more uneasy with every passing hour, my thoughts constantly circling the consequences of his actions rather than the comfort they should have brought me. He had taken care of me in ways that felt unfamiliar, almost intimate, and what unsettled me the most was how little he seemed to care about who might see him doing it, as if the opinions of

Chloe WayhemlWhat that woman said lingered in my mind long after I left, her words echoing over and over again until they followed me all the way back to Nicholas’s mansion, refusing to fade no matter how much I tried to shake them off. By the time I arrived, the uneasiness had already settled deep in my chest, twisting tighter with every step I took inside.A few of the household staff greeted me as I entered, their voices polite and familiar, but I barely acknowledged any of them, offering nothing more than a passing glance as I walked straight past. I wasn’t in the mood for pleasantries, not when my thoughts were consumed by what I had just learned. My only focus was Nicholas. I needed to hear it from him directly. I needed to know if what she said was true.Because she didn’t seem like the kind of woman who would lie—and that alone made something inside me burn with anger.Without hesitation, I made my way to his study, my pulse quickening with every step until I finally reache

Alliyah AgustinMy breath caught in my throat as I stepped closer, my heart beginning to pound harder with each step. I recognized it instantly. It was the gift I had given my parents when I graduated from college and finally built my business from the ground up. The design was mine—completely mine. I had spent days perfecting it, making sure it was something special for our family.The only one I had ever made for us, and I didn’t release it.I had almost created one for Chester, too, but everything had gotten delayed…and now, standing here, I couldn’t help but feel like that delay was just right.He wasn’t meant to be a part of my future family someday.Without thinking, I stepped inside the room and picked it up, my fingers trembling slightly as I examined it. My teeth sank into my lower lip, a futile attempt to steady myself as a wave of emotions began to rise, threatening to overwhelm me.There was no doubt about it, this was the same teacup.My chest tightened painfully as th

Alliyah AgustinShe knows now there was no denying it. I have to be extra careful because my life is on the line.I exhaled slowly, forcing myself to meet her gaze. “Ever since I realized my life would always be in danger,” I said firmly, my voice steady despite everything, “ever since you and Chester married me off to a man whose life is nothing but danger.”A brief silence followed, thick and suffocating, before I finally asked the question that had been sitting in the back of my mind for far too long.“Why do you hate me, Kass?”Her expression didn’t change, not even for a second. “What do you mean?” she replied casually, almost dismissively. “I do like you.”I shook my head, a bitter laugh escaping me as I looked away. “I tried to ignore it before,” I admitted, my voice quieter now but no less certain, “but from the very beginning, I’ve always felt like you didn’t like me…and I just want to know why.”For a moment, she said nothing.Then, suddenly, she laughed—loud, unrestrained,

Malix Alphine“They’re here!” I shouted, my voice ringing with excitement as I hurried downstairs, barely able to contain myself at the thought of finally seeing Claire again, along with the only lady from the Cole Organization.The moment their car came to a stop, I slowed down, my brows knitting slightly as I noticed that both of them seemed to be wearing some kind of disguise. For a second, I hesitated, unsure, until one of them stepped forward—and then Claire started walking toward me.I nearly didn’t recognize her at first, but no matter how much she tried to hide behind whatever look she was going for, I would always know it was her. My heart just knew.Hehe.“Clairey! I am so glad you guys managed to escape!” I wrapped my arms around her tightly without thinking, pulling her into a hug, but instead of hugging me back, she quickly pushed me away, her face turning slightly red with embarrassment.“Would you please not do this in public?” she muttered under her breath, clearly fl
