Well, Damian was still as arrogant and haughty as ever. How could Mrs. Alexander say he had changed? And Damian's wife-she was nothing like Helena. They weren't even on the same level."Miss Claudia." Brown, as irritating as always, approached."What?""I don't know what Mrs. Alexander promised you, but you should know I'm not a compassionate person-especially toward those who disturb the young master's peace."He was intimidating, but Claudia had Mrs. Alexander's support."Even Mrs. Alexander can't protect you if you cross the line."'What! How does he know that?'When Brown left, he passed Mrs. Alexander with a polite nod. Claudia's hand trembled. She knew Brown well-when he said something, he wasn't joking.Butler Matt had already set fresh juice on the table. Livia immediately grabbed a glass and drained half of it. Her gaze shifted toward the girl named Claudia, trying to figure her out-who was she? Damian didn't seem uncomfortable or awkward speaking to her. His tone was flat, n

The night was already deep when Brown finally finished all his tasks for the day.The elevator doors opened to silence. This floor had only one apartment entrance, so no one else was around. Brown stepped inside his home. The familiar scent greeted him, the same one that welcomed him every night in the dim light.He reached for the remote on top of the shoe rack and switched on a few lights. The warm glow from several corners made the place feel more like a home.So much had happened in just a few days.Brown had already heard about Mrs. Alexander's return-and the fact that she'd brought a girl with her. Who the girl was didn't matter much to him. Not important enough to make his watchlist. But still... Mrs. Alexander seemed to have planned this one carefully. The girl wasn't someone the young master disliked.That kid had grown up. But Mrs. Alexander had made a critical mistake this time. If she'd brought her back when the young master was broken after Helena left, maybe-just maybe-t

Finally, they left the room. Livia fixed her hair. Going downstairs, she saw everyone at the dining table except Jenny, who had to be at the office early.A more tiring day than working at the shop awaited Livia after Damian left for the office. Mrs. Alexander and Claudia's gazes beside her were no longer friendly. Only Sophia smiled cheerfully, waving her hand."Sister-in-law, thanks for the souvenirs. I really like them. Jenny likes them too."Meanwhile, Damian checked the files Brown handed over after the car left the main house gate. No one spoke until the car reached the Alexander Group parking lot."Have you told Butler Matt to watch over Claudia?" The car stopped at the VVIP parking reserved for the CEO. "Has my mom said anything yet?""I've explained to Butler Matt what to do. As for Mrs. Alexander, you don't need to worry."Damian sighed, obviously holding back irritation. Since knowing how hard it was to be a mother, he promised to try yielding to whatever his mother did. Bu

Noah's laughter filled the CEO's office, even Brown cracked a small smile in the corner. Watching Damian get utterly defeated in their little contest about how well they understood women was priceless."Ha! Don't tell me you actually think your Livia..." Noah paused, the name loaded with meaning. "...would literally die from her period." Noah burst out laughing when Damian explained why he suddenly cut short his vacation, disguised as a honeymoon.'How did he even know?' Of course-from Kenzie, the mayor. Noah even knew that Damian had asked Ken to break someone's arm for touching Livia. Just imagining Brown's reaction gave Noah chills. No, Damian's anger didn't scare him as much as Brown going full berserk over his boss's fury.Damian's face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and anger. How did this kid know so much about periods when they weren't even married? He'd spent his life chasing impossible love, yet this guy knew way more details about women. Damian was annoyed with himself

Butler Matt had placed his house slippers by Damian’s feet, noting the tired expression.“Anything happen at home? Mom and Claudia didn’t bother Livia, right?” Damian asked for a situation report.“No, the young lady was with Kylie and Maya all day, so neither Mrs. Alexander nor Claudia could get close. Though I saw Claudia try a few times to talk to her.”So far, everything was under control. Butler Matt’s constant presence on the lower floor kept Claudia’s courage low.“Alright. Any visitors today?”“Livia’s younger sibling didn’t come — had to work overtime.”Damian pictured his wife’s disappointed face instantly. “Okay, get some rest.” He gently patted Butler Matt’s shoulder. “Thanks for taking care of my wife.”“You’re welcome, young master.”Even though Damian came home late, Butler Matt stayed put until Damian disappeared upstairs.Damian found Livia already asleep under the covers. He walked to the dressing room, taking his time. He took a deep breath, looking at her peaceful

Helena hesitated as she stepped out of her car. Memories from the night before flashed through her mind again. Even after getting out minutes ago, she still stood before the cafe door in the distance. She had mentally prepared herself since leaving the gallery and during the drive, but now doubt crept into her heart. A soft breeze stroked her hair, making the bitterness deepen.There were two possibilities: forgiveness... or only more humiliation. And perhaps, in the future, she would never have the courage to show her face again. She let out a deep breath, calming herself, talking to her own mind to move forward.Come on, Helena, this is your last chance. Noah is not Damian.The images of two suitcases, the ticket, and passport she'd prepared last night flashed in her mind. Even if today failed, she knew what to do. Surrender to a painful defeat.The beautiful girl grabbed her glasses from her bag, tossed her hair, and stepped forward with resolve. If she could be shameless in front

After breakfast, just like the day before, Claudia watched Livia escort Damian to his car. Assistant Brown was already standing beside the vehicle. She watched until everyone got in and the car drove away, leaving Livia alone."Can we talk?" When Livia entered the house, Butler Matt was still standing behind her, looking displeased."Miss Claudia, you know young master wouldn't like it if you bother the young lady.""I just want to talk to her for a moment, Butler Matt," Claudia answered straightforwardly. After all, she wasn't that bad. What harm could she do?"It's okay, Butler Matt. I have no work to do." Livia followed Claudia's steps toward the sofa.Both stared at Butler Matt together, their looks almost trying to chase him off. But Butler Matt remained firm. His job was to protect his young lady."Butler Matt, there's really nothing to do. We're just going to talk." Livia laughed gently, subtly dismissing him-they would be fine."Please, talk away, miss. Just pretend I'm not he

Livia lay sprawled on the bed, bored out of her mind.'Hopefully my period ends today,' she murmured, staring out the bedroom window.The weather was bright and clear, the wind blowing freely. Why did she have to be stuck inside just because of her period? She sighed again.'Why do I have to go through this?'Begging herself for answers was useless.She rolled over, hugging her pillow and giving it a few half-hearted punches.'What if I ran away? He wouldn't kill me... right?'Well, no-Damian wouldn't kill her. At worst, he'd lock her up for a whole month. Hah!'But what if he tied me up for disobeying?'Though she knew Damian wouldn't actually hurt her, Livia still didn't have the courage to rebel beyond words.Still lying on the bed, she chuckled, remembering Claudia-that girl was something else. So bold, so confident, openly saying she liked Assistant Brown."Livia, I once confessed my feelings to Brown.""What?!"For a moment, Livia pictured Claudia doing it. She'd heard from Leel

Jenny tried to mask her surprise and embarrassment with a pout, sulking like a spoiled child. Livia couldn't help but smile at her sister-in-law's antics."Why didn't you say you were coming to see me? We could've gone home together. You wouldn't have had any trouble at the front gate," Jenny chirped, barging in as if she were the star of the reunion. Then, with a sympathetic smile, she added, "Sorry, they can be a bit much sometimes.""Haha, it's fine. They're just doing their job," David replied, though he admitted he'd been worried he wouldn't be allowed in earlier."And besides," he added, "we didn't even meet at the office today. Not even at lunch-Jenny was busy eating with her girlfriends."'Because I wanted to avoid you little by little. Sniff. Stealing another woman's man is the most despicable thing a woman can do. Ugh, Sophia's wise words keep echoing in my head...' Jenny thought, secretly annoyed."Alright, you two met up anyway," Livia cut in quickly, not wanting Jenny to

Livia shifted on the sofa.The TV was on, but since she hardly ever watched it, she had no idea what to pick or enjoy. Still, she let it play in the background, just to fill the silence.She was still stuck at home, not yet allowed to resume her normal routine. But this should be the last day-her period was almost over, just a few light spots left.'Finally, tomorrow I'll be free!'Free from this annoying headache! Hmph! It felt like her idea of freedom kept shrinking these days. But whatever. At least she'd finally be able to leave the house and go back to work. Whether Kylie was still shadowing her outside didn't matter anymore. After all, Leela had been by her side before this. And the doctor's appointment was already scheduled.'Alright, Livia. Just face everything with a smile. Accept what fate gave you-being Damian's wife, complications and all.'She flopped down on a pillow and pulled it under her head. Immediately, Damian's face appeared behind her eyelids.'How am I supposed
