It had been a long, slow weekend.Jenny and Sophia had been cooped up in the house like grounded teenagers. Their plan-to interrogate Damian and drive Livia back to her family-was dead in the water.For the sake of their sister-in-law.And for the peace of this house.They had a new motto now: Keep the sister-in-law happy. The happier she is, the calmer Damian will be. And when Damian was calm? Life flowed smoothly in all directions.In the main house, everyone gathered in front of the living room TV, where the inauguration ceremony for the Green Lake project was being broadcast live.Mr. Matt had outdone himself-again. Three glasses of fresh juice lined the table, next to a large bowl of fruit and a pristine box of strawberries, everyone's favorite.Jenny tiptoed in from the front hall with a suspiciously bulky shopping bag behind her back. The faint crinkle of snack wrappers gave her away.She paused as she passed Mr. Matt, flashing a sheepish grin."Mr. Matt, can we have some chips

When Livia saw Damian sitting beside Helena, something inside her snapped. A strange surge of jealousy flooded her chest, sharp and hot. She didn't know where it came from-but it was there.She growled lowly, her eyes locked on the TV screen. In her heart, she cursed them both.Jenny and Sophia exchanged nervous glances. Livia's face had changed. Her expression was cold, her jaw clenched, and her silence too loud."Sister-in-law... but Brother Damian looks surprised. He must not know that Sister Helena would appear," Sophia said carefully, pointing at Damian's frozen expression on screen.'Hey, how could the assistant not know? What is he, a ghost? There's no way he didn't expect Helena to show up.'"That's right. Look at Brother Damian's face-it's annoyed!" Jenny added, trying to ease the tension."Ugh, why do I suddenly hate Helena so much?" Sophia huffed. "Can't she take a hint?"'Love. She's fighting for love. But I really, really hate this.'Without warning, Livia stood up. The p

"Yeah."Damian answered without thinking. He liked seeing people happy, and the word slipped out easily.'Look! Look at you-so happy. Then go to Helena! Why did you even come back here?'"Come here!" Damian reached for the blanket, trying to pull Livia closer. But she didn't move. Didn't speak.She was staging a silent protest."Here!" His voice grew firmer when she still didn't budge. He yanked the blanket so forcefully it landed in a pile on the floor."Why aren't you in your sleepwear?" His eyes caught what she'd been hiding beneath the blanket.Livia didn't respond. She simply turned her body away.Apparently, jealousy could birth a strange kind of courage. Normally, just one shout from Damian would make her cower."Change your clothes." Damian was laughing now.He was enjoying this."Go on. Change into your nightgown!" His voice lifted with amusement.'Let's see just how far you'll disobey me.'"I don't want to!" Livia clutched her bolster tighter.'I must be insane! This is the

The romantic scene should have involved two people.But this time, apparently, it didn't.Livia stayed as silent as a rock.Yet for Damian, this was the most romantic moment of their entire marriage.For the first time, he felt like he was beginning to understand her. Like he'd found a small corner in her heart where his name quietly lived.After satisfying his own feelings-alone-he rested his chin on her shoulder and placed a gentle kiss there."Mr. Matt said you didn't watch the whole inauguration ceremony. Why? You didn't even stay to see me on the podium?"'No! Why would I stay and watch you with Helena?'"Why?" he murmured again, letting his fingers trail down the curve of her neck. "Your neck is so small, huh. If I strangle you, you'll die, won't you?"He chuckled to himself.'Insolent! He's threatening me while laughing?'"I wasn't feeling well earlier," Livia finally replied. "So I went up to rest."'Great. The most cliché excuse on earth. Well done, Livia.'She immediately re

Mr. Matt returned carrying a glass of warm honey water. A maid followed behind him, holding a bowl and a small stack of clean towels.Damian quickly took the glass from Mr. Matt and climbed into bed again."Sit up. Can you?" he asked gently, reaching out to help her.But Livia sat up on her own, stiffly, like someone preparing to face judgment day."Drink. It'll warm your stomach before Doctor Harry arrives." Damian tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and lifted the glass to her lips. "Slowly. You'll choke if you rush."But Livia had only one goal-finish the drink as fast as possible so these people would leave the room. Embarrassment, confusion, and panic swirled inside her like a storm.'Please let this end. Just drink it and get them all out.'"Hand me the towel," Damian said, extending his hand."Yes, young master." Mr. Matt handed it over obediently."Brother, is Sister-in-law pregnant?" Jenny suddenly blurted out.'No! Jen, are you out of your mind?!'Everyone in the room

At the top of the stairs, Damian shoved Doctor Harry's shoulder. "Go. Hurry up!"Harry didn't even flinch. He responded by pushing Damian lightly toward the stairs. Then he turned back to Jenny and Sophia, who had been following them quietly."Go to sleep! You'll get wrinkles staying up this late.""Eek! Really? Sophia, let's sleep! Good night, Brother Damian! Good night, Brother Harry!" Jenny giggled, tugging Sophia away."Yeah, night," Harry replied with a lazy wave.Mr. Matt was already waiting at the bottom of the stairs. The servants had all been dismissed for the night, so by the time Harry arrived, the house had returned to its usual calm-though only on the surface."Mr. Matt, take him out," Damian snapped, already turning to go back to Livia."I want to talk to you," Harry said quickly."Just talk tomorrow! I'm going back to my wife. Get out of the way. You're single," Damian growled."This is about your wife."That was enough to make Damian stop in his tracks. Harry casually

All of Harry's words were irrefutable.He was right.How could Damian forget the way he threw that agreement letter in her face? How he treated Livia like a maid-no, less than that. A woman who had no right to say no. No freedom. No voice.He could even threaten her just to sleep with her.Yes, he had used the destruction of her family as leverage. He made her beg... just to sleep with her.KNOCK KNOCKMr. Matt entered after a soft knock, his expression tense. He clutched something tightly in his hand, clearly debating whether to walk in or throw it all out the window.He knew what he carried could ignite Damian's fury-but hiding it might only unleash something worse."Mr. Matt?" Harry stood quickly when he saw what was in the older man's grip.Without a word, Mr. Matt handed the item to Harry."Please... calm the young master down, Doctor Harry," he whispered close to Harry's ear. "If not, the whole house will collapse under him."Harry's face paled as he looked down at the tablet st

It happened the afternoon after the Green Lake inauguration-a day that was supposed to shine with joy but instead ended in heartbreak for a beautiful painter named Helena.A car stopped at a distance from the crowd gathered near Green Lake. The traffic was relatively smooth, just the usual bustle of weekend workers and families looking to spend time outdoors. Still, everything moved under control.Inside the car, Helena's hands trembled on the steering wheel. Her mind was a tangled mess. Only one name kept echoing in her head.'Damn it, Assistant Brown! Did you already know everything? All my plans... ruined because of you.'She had tried-desperately-to approach the event organizer of the inauguration, but they had vanished without a trace. And that sneaky journalist...Helena repeatedly called the number of the reporter who had tricked her. No one picked up.Just as she was about to slam her phone down in frustration, a message came through."Sorry, Miss Helena. I can't publish anyth

Livia stood frozen by the bed, too afraid to move-too afraid to even bend down and pick up the phone or the contraceptive pill lying by her feet. Her wide eyes followed Damian as he stormed into the room.He kicked off his sandals with visible frustration and climbed onto the bed without a word. Grabbing a pillow, he leaned against it and stretched out his legs, his gaze locked on Livia like a predator sizing up his prey."Your guts are huge, huh."Livia instinctively shrank where she stood. She didn't even dare to breathe loudly.'Am I pretending to be dead now? No, unconscious-just unconscious. But if he throws something or steps on my foot, I'll scream for real.'She lowered her gaze to the small pill near her feet. That tiny thing had cost her so much. It was her first time taking a contraceptive pill-her decision, her fear, her secret. The terror of being caught was overwhelming, but the idea of getting pregnant with Damian's child had been even scarier.Yet now, standing there f

Livia's voice suddenly pierced the air-sharp, desperate, and louder than even Damian's rage."I just wanted to protect myself!" she screamed.The words hung in the room like a slap.Even Livia was stunned by the strength of her own voice. She immediately covered her mouth with both hands, eyes wide."I'm sorry," she whispered behind trembling fingers.Damian's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Wow. You commit a sin this big and still dare raise your voice at me?" His voice roared, bouncing off the ceiling. "I told you to speak, not shout.""I'm sorry," she said again, softer this time, her head bowed low. Her trembling fingers reached for the blanket, pulling it up and piling it in front of her-one last line of defense."I just wanted to protect myself." Her voice was clearer now, even if her gaze remained fixed on the floor. She didn't scream this time, but the words hit harder, full of bruised truth.'Tch. Same thing that Doctor Harry said,' Damian thought bitterly. All these singles real
