Elisa couldn’t help but steal a few glances. However, her mind was instantly filled with the intense moments she had shared with Damien, prompting her to look out the window to distract herself.Damien seemed to notice and gave her a teasing smile.Elisa, fearing he might tease her, shifted the conversation before he could say anything. “You have to be careful of Maurice. He’s crazy and unpredictable!”“Okay,” Damien responded casually, but Elisa could see a flicker of ruthlessness in his eyes.It wasn’t directed at her, of course. It was for Maurice.The two definitely had a grudge against each other–the kind where they wouldn’t rest until the other was dead…Elisa decided it was best to stay away from both of them in case she got caught in the crossfire.Soon after, the car stopped in front of a villa. Elisa unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to exit when a warm hand gripped her wrist. She instinctively turned around, only to find Damien's face mere inches“You….” Elisa didn’t ge

Norah coughed as the ash and smoke made her feel nauseous. She was repulsed and angry. She had never been treated this way in her entire life.Up until this point in time, she had barely faced any hardships. Before she got married, she was supported by her father, Clive. After getting married, Lucas had been showering her with endless love and affection. It was safe to say that she had been living an extremely sheltered life. That was one thing she had in common with Isabelle.Unfortunately for her, the two people who usually protected her were both unavailable today. Clive was dead while Lucas was currently being stepped on.Norah was fuming. “Where did all you savage dogs come from? If you keep going around attacking people like this, you might just end up-"The rest of her sentence turned into a pained cry. Mason had tightened his grip on her hair, and her face paled from the burning pain.Lucas tried to lunge forward to protect his wife but was held down by the men.Mason slapped

In a moment of desperation, Elisa picked up a mace from the ground and swung it at Mason.The weapon cut through the air and struck its target squarely on the back. The sharp spikes nearly sledded Mason’s flesh, leaving his back drenched in bloodHe let out a wall and shot Elisa a furious glare before growling. “You’ll pay for this!”With that, Mason and the two lackeys who could still manage to move propped each other up and limped away.With the danger momentarily dealt with, Elisa tugged at the brim of her cap and approached Norah and Lucas.Dressed in all black and still carrying the scent of blood from the earlier fights, Elisa's presence made Norah's instinctively take a few steps back. In Norah's eyes were a mix of relief and gratitude for being saved but also a hint of wariness,Elisa checked Lucas's pulse and sighed in relief.Thankfully, his injuries were external. Four fractured ribs, a serious head injury, and severe blood loss had left him in a state of shock.With the la

With just a few words, Isabelle managed to regain control of the situation. She came up with a reasonable explanation for herself and portrayed herself as the victim. That way, she could make people forget what she had done, leaving only sympathy and pity for her.Once Isabelle finished speaking, Norah's expression softened considerably.So, that was what happened. Well, that made some sense.Norah repeatedly reminded herself that she had brought up Isabelle with so much effort, dedicating all her energy and love. She was kind, innocent, naive, and adorable. She was definitely not the cold–hearted, ungrateful person Norah had just imagined her to be.Gradually, Norah seemed to convince herself.She paused for a moment before briefly recounting the events of the previous night. However, she skipped over the part about being saved by the girl in black and only mentioned that she was rescued by the police.Isabelle was eager to move past the topic. Although she felt that Norah and Lucas

The moment Lucas woke up, all her secrets would be exposed. When that happened, Isabelle knew there was no way the Watson couple would let her stay in the family.Her heart raced wildly, her panic palpable. She didn’t even hear Norah calling her name until they were back in the hospital ward. Lucas was wheeled in and placed on the bed now that he was stable.Should she just kill him?The thought raged in Isabelle's mind, growing more insistent with every passing second. Her hands twitched, and she almost gave in to the urge that clawed at her from the inside.However, Norah's presence was like a wall. It was impossible to scale or break.There wasn’t even a plausible excuse to get her out of the room.Isabelle's panic mounted. Her chest tightened as regret and frustration churned within her. What had she been thinking earlier?In that split second of rashness, she exposed the map and risked herself. Now, she was trapped and caught between two disastrous outcomes with no other option.
