Liam opened his eyes and found the other side of the bed empty. Anna was gone. Only the faint trace of her perfume lingered in the air—a reminder of the heated night they had shared.Jaw tight, Liam reached for his phone on the nightstand and dialed his assistant’s number.“Find out who drugged my drink last night,” he ordered, his voice sharp and clipped. He didn’t wait for a response before ending the call. Then he rose and headed straight into the bathroom.When Liam arrived at the Alonzo residence, he walked inside as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened the night before. His expression was relaxed, but his eyes immediately found Anna sitting at the dining table, her head bowed.“Where have you been, Liam? And why did you let Anna go home alone?” Matilda scolded, sounding irritated.Liam glanced at his mother, then fixed his gaze on Anna.“Why don’t you ask her why she left me?”Anna stiffened, clearly startled. Everyone’s eyes shifted to her, and her face rapidly drained o

“How long are you going to keep staring at them?”The voice made Anna turn her head. She didn’t answer. Instead, she walked away from Liam. But she barely made it a few steps before her body suddenly lifted off the ground.Liam had picked her up.“What are you doing?” Anna gasped, gripping his shoulders.Liam still didn’t respond.“Send her purchases to the house. And include the bill for the torn dress,” Liam said coldly to the boutique manager. The woman bowed so deeply she didn’t dare look him in the eye.“Put me down, Liam,” Anna demanded, forcing her voice to stay steady. But Liam ignored her. His stride remained firm and unbothered, drawing the attention of everyone around them. Burning with embarrassment, Anna hid her face against Liam’s neck, praying no one would recognize her.Liam set her down gently in the passenger seat. His dominating presence was so overwhelming that Anna didn’t even try to argue. She stayed silent as he started the engine and drove off without a word. A

Liam stepped into the living room with a cold expression. Agnes was already seated on the sofa beside Matilda. A luxurious, elegant dress draped perfectly over her figure, her beauty radiant and her confidence unmistakable.“Liam,” Matilda greeted cheerfully. “This is Agnes. You two already know each other, don’t you?”Agnes rose to her feet, smiling sweetly. “Liam, it’s been such a long time.”Liam gave a brief nod. “Yeah.”There was no small talk, no smile. He didn’t even properly meet her gaze.Matilda frowned slightly. “Liam, keep Agnes company for a moment. I’m going to get Anna.”Without waiting for his response, Matilda walked away. Agnes turned toward Liam, clearly expecting him to say something more. Instead, he glanced at his watch.“I still have something to take care of,” he said flatly.“Liam—” Agnes tried to stop him, but he had already turned away, leaving her behind as the smile on her lips slowly faded.Not long after, Matilda returned with Anna.“Agnes, this is Anna,

“Mom, I happened to run into a friend here. Why don’t you have dinner with Agnes instead? I’m sorry, I won’t be able to join you.”Anna sent the message after hiding in the restroom for nearly ten minutes. She deliberately lingered, hoping the tension outside would ease if she gave it enough time. Agnes’s presence alone was enough to make her chest tighten—let alone the fact that Agnes was now with Lusi. It was a combination Anna had no desire to face.Not long after, her phone vibrated.All right. I’ll have the driver wait for you.Anna let out a quiet sigh of relief, though the discomfort still clung stubbornly to her heart. She checked her reflection in the mirror, straightening her expression until it looked calm and composed, before finally stepping out of the restroom.From a distance, she saw Matilda leaving the boutique with Agnes and Lusi. Anna paused, watching their backs as they slowly disappeared from view. Only then did she turn away, trying to steady the emotions that ha

“Mom… Dad!” Anna cried out in shock as she shoved Liam away from her.No… why now? Why are they here?Liam looked completely at ease, as if the situation meant nothing to him at all. Anna, on the other hand, had gone deathly pale. Her chest tightened, her breathing uneven and shallow.“It’s not what you think, Mom,” Anna said hurriedly as she rushed toward Matilda.“Don’t lie to me, Anna,” Matilda replied, her sharp, probing gaze searching her daughter’s face before shifting to Liam, demanding the truth.“Liam?” Jonathan called, his voice low but heavy with pressure.“I slept with Anna because of the drug Agnes gave me,” Liam answered bluntly.“Liam!” Anna snapped.“What?” Matilda and Jonathan exclaimed in unison.“That’s all in the past. There’s no need to make a big deal out of it, Mom… Dad,” Anna said quickly, desperation edging her voice.“Why didn’t you tell us?” Matilda asked, taking Anna’s hands in hers.Anna looked at her mother.Because I was afraid. Afraid you’d be disappoin
