That Pink Pajama with the Tacky PatternAccording to Damian, the pajama had already been abandoned in the corner of the room, tossed aside like some worthless rag."Don't ever wear that again," he had warned earlier, kicking it aside after stepping out of the bathroom. "Or I won't let you wear a single piece of clothing to bed tonight."Now, they were both back in bed.'Ha! If I really went to bed without clothes, we both know where that would lead. I probably wouldn't get a wink of sleep.'Livia forced a laugh, sneaking a glance at the poor pajama. "Haha, okay, babe. I'll just keep it, but I won't wear it again." Honestly, when she bought it as a gift for him, she already knew what its fate would be.'Well, at least I got some cute pictures of you in it. I can tease you with those later.'"Why keep that thing? I'll just have Butler Matt throw it out," Damian muttered, pulling the blanket up to his waist."Aaah, no! That's a honeymoon keepsake," Livia pouted. "I promise I won't wear i

The morning sunlight spilled gently over the garden, warm without being harsh. Dew shimmered for a moment longer before vanishing from the blades of grass and leaves, leaving the garden fresh and alive."So this is where you first met?" Livia asked, her gaze falling on a small pavilion tucked in the corner. Four chairs sat beneath its canopy, the sunlight bouncing off its roof. Damian's story from the night before still lingered in her mind-like the ghost of a memory. She could almost picture two little kids running into each other here, bickering in that innocent way children did.'They must have been so adorable,' she thought with a soft laugh.Hand in hand, they stepped onto the neatly trimmed lawn. For Livia, it was the first time since her marriage that she'd actually walked the garden paths, enjoying the flowers and trees up close. Until now, she had only admired them from afar-from the window of her bedroom or while sitting with Maya."There must be so many memories here," she

Assistant Brown.That was what everyone called him.A face that never changed, calm even when the press cameras turned on him beside Young Master Alexander. His gaze was cold, almost frozen, a trademark whenever he stood behind the CEO of Alexander Group. That was how the world knew him-a man who never showed emotion, never allowed anyone into his private life.But there was one exception.Kylie Johnson.Without realizing it, that girl had slipped through, opening a small gap in his heart-a space once reserved only for Damian and Alexander Group.That quiet Sunday morning, Brown followed his usual routine. In disguise, he left his luxury apartment with a folding bicycle, simple but more than enough to carry him through the city streets.Hood drawn low over his black cap, he blended into the crowd like a shadow. He pedaled through the awakening capital, where families began to fill the streets and laughter seeped into the air.The city was alive again. Brown rode until he reached a cro

Damian still hadn't let go of his embrace, even after finishing the story about his first meeting with Brown-a scrawny kid who, despite being several years younger, had almost matched his height back then.A gentle kiss landed on Livia's head. She didn't resist. In fact, Damian's embrace felt warmer than the morning sun playing at the ends of her hair.Livia smiled, imagining Brown's confused face at the time, struggling to figure out what his young master actually wanted-just like she once had.'Haha, is it okay if I laugh at you now, Brown?' she thought with amusement. 'Turns out you had to go through the same struggles I did with Damian. Guess neither of us was the strange one. The real oddball is this man holding me right now. But since he's the king, everyone around him just has to adjust to his quirks.'Somehow, Livia could laugh now at the early days of their marriage. What used to be memories filled with tears and drama had softened into something that brought a small, secret

The sun scorched the air outside the hospital, while inside, the rhythm of urgency never ceased. Doctors, nurses, and staff moved quickly, each fulfilling their duty-becoming bridges of hope for those clinging desperately to life.On the top floor, in a VVIP room accessible only by direct permission from the President of Alexander Group, the atmosphere was different. There, a team of doctors and nurses stood watch twenty-four hours a day, guarding one crucial patient.An elderly man with kind features, now worn down by age, lay in bed. Tubes and machines surrounded him, keeping his fragile body alive. Without them, his breath would have stilled long ago.Damian sat by the bedside. Dressed in sterile hospital clothing, he held the frail, cold hand, gently massaging it."Uncle, I'm here," he whispered.His voice trembled, carrying the vulnerability of a little boy clinging to his parents. "You're better today, right? Don't leave me... If you go too, then what will I have left?"Lowering

Livia pouted. "Baby, why'd you stop?"Her dazed, amazed face twisted into disappointment. Her lips jutted forward in a sulk. She'd been savoring every bit of tension, but Damian had the nerve to stop right at the best part. It felt exactly like watching a drama, only for the screen to suddenly flash To Be Continued."I'm tired," Damian said casually, chuckling at his wife's sulky expression."Why do you get even sweeter in the sunlight..." He brushed the back of his hand across Livia's cheek, as if completely ignoring the fact she was still waiting eagerly for the rest of the story.'Seriously?! Why stop right at the climax?!' Livia grumbled inside, a mix of irritation and burning curiosity. 'After Brown kneeled... does he beg with tears? Do they get into a huge fight? Or maybe... do they hug?'"Come on, let's go in. It's hot," Damian said, standing and pulling her by the hand."Fine. But you have to continue the story later," Livia blinked playfully, flashing a bright smile."That de

Almost a week passed peacefully.Livia was back to her routine at the little shop. Her return was greeted like a grand festival, as if she had just come home after conquering an entire nation. Everyone had missed her so much.When she introduced Kylie, no one was the least bit surprised. Ever since they learned who Livia's husband really was, they had gotten used to shock after shock. From suddenly having a private driver to unexpected "expert staff" sent to help out at the shop-everything was taken in stride. After all, their boss was the young miss of Alexander Group. If it weren't for that, none of this would have been possible.Kylie was introduced as Leela's replacement, and she adapted quickly. The remnants of her corporate background still clung to her, so she didn't feel too out of place.Still, when she first arrived, Kylie had been floored to discover the truth about Livia's work.It was just... an online shop.A simple two-story storefront.And yet, Livia's husband was the

"Sister-in-law!"Dr. Harris rushed over, half running when he spotted Livia's car. Two other OB-GYNs who had met her before trailed behind him.'God, what's with this? Why are they welcoming me like this?'"Doctor, how are you? You really didn't need to greet me like this.""Sister-in-law, you're the wife of this hospital's owner!"Livia nearly covered Dr. Harris's mouth on the spot. His words were like a deadly bomb dropped right in front of Kylie.The owner of this hospital was Mr. Alexander!"Hey!" Harris suddenly exclaimed, his eyes landing on the young woman beside Livia. "Aren't you Brown's date? What are you doing here?" His tone was dripping with disdain, as if he still couldn't accept losing to Brown."You two already know each other?" Livia asked casually as she walked inside, holding Kylie's hand. "This is Kylie Johnson-she's replacing Leela.""Sure," Harris sneered, laughing mockingly. "That bastard Brown! I ran into him at Brian's café the other day, and he claimed he was

Kylie hopped out first when the car rolled into the parking area-a high-end shopping complex lined with world-class designer boutiques."Why are we here, baby?" Livia asked as she stepped out, wide-eyed at the sight. In her whole life, she'd only ever seen this place online, scrolling through glossy photos. Sometimes she'd peek at the models sold here just to compare them with current trends."You're not going to tell me I have to move my shop here, are you?" she blurted, the thought suddenly striking her. With an unpredictable husband like hers, anything was possible-and a little scary."If you want to, Brown can arrange it," Damian replied casually, as if offering her a snack."Haha, no, love." Livia grabbed his hand, then glanced at Brown. "I was just joking, Assistant Brown." Her voice turned serious when she noticed Brown actually considering Damian's words. "So... what are we here for?"'Alright, new question. The clothes I sell at my shop probably cost less than one shopping ba

Inside the fitting room-"Baby!""What!" Both of them raised their voices at once. Livia was clearly irritated. This was starting to feel like a replay of her birthday party disaster."Just pick one for me to wear," she said, softening her tone into a gentle plea.'I'm exhausted! Why does this feel like déjà vu?'"Which one do you think is best? This one? That one? Or the other one?" She held the dresses in her arms. "Choose the one that looks most beautiful and suits me best, and I'll wear it.""The most beautiful?" Damian's voice carried mock annoyance. "Why would I pick the one that suits you best? I'll pick the one that suits you the least."'What! Are there really people like this?'He dropped the dresses onto a chair, pulled Livia into his arms, and rested his head on her shoulder. "But why does everything you wear look beautiful? This must be because you're too beautiful. I can't stand the thought of others seeing you tomorrow."'What kind of ridiculous excuse is that, young ma
