[A Name Written in the Will]“When a name is written in ink… the wrong woman becomes a living crime.”Silence.Thick, suffocating, merciless.Panni sat frozen in the passenger seat of Jinyan’s car, the darkness of the underground parking swallowing them both. The glow of the phone screen illuminated Jinyan’s face in sharp angles—anger in his jaw, fear in his eyes, conflict in every breath.She could barely whisper.“Jinyan… what does it mean?”He didn’t answer right away. He couldn’t. Because the truth he was about to speak was heavy enough to crush them both.Finally, he exhaled.“My grandmother’s will,” he began, voice low and tight, “didn’t just ask me to marry someone. It named the woman specifically. Your sister. Annie.”Panni’s throat tightened painfully.“So when you married me…” she whispered, “you thought I was her.”Jinyan’s knuckles whitened around the phone.“I didn’t think,” he said, bitterness weighing every word. “I assumed. Because lying about your identity wasn’t so

[The Night The Stalker Gets Too Close]“Some dangers knock. Others breathe at your window.”They didn’t stay in the underground parking lot long.Jinyan didn’t say a word as he eased the car out onto the dimly lit street, navigating through the quiet business district with a tense grip on the steering wheel. Panni didn’t speak either—her throat was too dry, her nerves too frayed. But Jinyan’s silence wasn’t the cold kind; it was the calculating, protective silence of a man already planning their next move.After several turns, he finally broke it.“You’re staying with me tonight.”Panni blinked. “What? No—I can’t keep inconveniencing you—”“You’re not safe on your own,” he cut in sharply, eyes fixed on the road. “We’re not gambling with this. Not with Sean roaming around, and not with the lawyer watching.”“But your home—”“Is safer than yours. And more discreet. No one will find you there.”Panni hesitated.“What about your staff?”“They don’t live on-site. Only the night guard,” Ji

[The Shadow]“Tonight, the past stops whispering—and starts hunting.”Panni gripped the steering wheel so tightly her knuckles turned white.The road ahead was blurred, not by rain, but by the fear swimming behind her eyes. The phone lay beside her on the passenger seat, the anonymous messages burning into her mind like branding iron.Someone knows. Someone has proof. Someone is coming.Every lie she had carefully stitched into place was now unraveling thread by thread.The image of the high school graduation photo—her and Annie side by side—kept replaying in her head. She felt sick. Not from guilt alone, but from the certainty that whoever sent it didn’t plan to stop with threats.They wanted to destroy her.Maybe even Chen Lu.She pulled into a quiet viewpoint overlooking the river—somewhere dark, hidden, private. Somewhere she could breathe, or at least try to.The night air was cold against her skin. She stepped out, letting the wind hit her face like a slap to wake her out of the

[When A Name Bleeds]“The truth does not scream. It whispers—until it hurts.”The storm did not arrive with thunder.It arrived with silence.A silence so thick it made the air feel heavy, so tense it pressed against Panni’s skin like an invisible hand. The penthouse lights were dim, throwing long shadows across the floor. The city beyond the windows glittered like a world that had no idea a quiet disaster was unfolding behind glass.Panni stood barefoot in the kitchen, staring at the phone in her hands.Annie calling…She didn’t answer.She couldn't.

[Cracks in the Silence]“Sometimes, love doesn’t break loudly. Sometimes, it fractures quietly until no one recognizes the shape it once had.”Morning arrived without mercy.It bled through the curtains in slow, pale ribbons, touching the walls, the floor, the bed that felt too big for one person. Panni lay still, staring at the ceiling, listening to the quiet breathing of the empty space beside her. Jinyan had not come back to bed.The side of the bed was untouched.Cold.She stared at that hollowness and thought of how quickly a life could tilt off its axis and never return to center.A faint sound drifted through the apartment.
