Kyle's POVShe must be crazy! How could she think of doing something so disgusting just for a moment of pleasure?I sighed softly. During my marriage to Alea—Lex, who I thought had become a different person—I tried to be gentle with her so as not to upset her.Several times Alea let Lyra cry until she was almost exhausted. She was in the same room, closing the door and not letting the servants help Lyra, until one of the servants called and reported that Alea had let Lyra cry for an hour.I never saw her abuse Lyra directly, but making a baby as small as Lyra cry that hard and always avoiding her every time she approached her for a hug was still an unjustifiable act.Now an even crazier idea popped into her head. Not satisfied with making Lyra suffer, she tried to make her mother, Ale, feel the same pain. Only, this was even crazier.After trying to suppress the anger that could explode at any moment, I caressed Alea's face while forcing a smile."I don't think I'm interested in that

Kyle’s POV“Kyle... you must know where Lyra is,” said the woman in front of me, and I laughed bitterly as I shook my head. “Please... Tell me where she is. I tried to take good care of her—my niece—but something happened. She disappeared from my arms and...”“What’s your plan this time, Lex?” I asked, then without waiting long, I grabbed and clutched her neck tightly. “What do you want from me and Ale, huh? You kidnapped Lyra, disguised yourself as someone else, and now you’re pretending to have lost her?”"W-what do you mean—ergh!" Her feet kicked the empty air beneath her. However, her hands gripped mine, which were still clamped around her neck. It felt hot, because it seemed like she was using her magical abilities to fight me to free herself.However, I would not let her go free. No matter if my hands turned to ash. If necessary, I would destroy her to save Lyra. If Lex was here, it meant Lyra was safe at home—that meant Alea wasn't there. That was my assumption."You're wrong..

Kyle's POVShit!How could that woman be here? Even though I never really believed Alea and Lex were the same person—especially since Lex was always putting on a show—finding Alea in this room with a calm expression after she’d been missing for several days was something I never could have imagined.So, where has she been all this time if she and Lex are different people? If she really went somewhere, why didn’t she say a word, and instead just show up out of nowhere like a ghost?“W-what are you doing here, Alea?” I asked. Alea didn’t answer right away; instead, she turned to Ben, who was sitting across from me.“You’re here, Ben?” she asked, looking surprised but calm. “What are you two doing? Are you in business again?”“Yes. We’ve just started this business. I hope you can join us in this. You’re good at interior design. Maybe you can work with Ale later,” Ben replied, just as calm, as if facing Alea wasn’t a terrifying thing for him.But clearly, if Lex isn’t Alea and she’s even

Alejandra’s POVMy body feels like it’s on fire. I’ve been letting it go on for quite a while because, as far as I know, it’s related to my heat cycle or something else I’ve been experiencing lately.Jeremiah didn’t say anything when I asked him. He just told me to be careful, even if I chose to go out alone in the middle of the night.Now I’m trying not to go anywhere. Ben might find out about this habit of mine, and I don’t want him to worry. So, I asked the maid to prepare a tub filled with water and ice cubes, then soaked myself in it for quite a while until everything felt better.As a result, I got sleepy easily. Unfortunately, it didn’t last long.When I felt the heat return, I found Ben was already in the penthouse, and suppressing everything I felt in front of him felt like torture.We have sex quite often. So if just because of this heat—whose cause I can’t predict—I have to have sex all the time, I don’t think that’s a good thing.I stood in a forest that felt empty and was

Alejandra’s POVThe doorbell rang just as I was preparing food for Lilia. Grandma was already at the door, holding Lilia’s hand. I rushed over to hug Grandma, and then Lilia immediately clung to my arm.I could see their smiles light up when they arrived, and Lilia was excited to find out what I had cooked for her.“Aunt Shenna is a great cook. Your fried chicken is so delicious,” praised Lilia, who still called me by the nickname I used to go by—that’s how Lilia and I first met.“Really?” I asked. She nodded. “So, what score would you give me?”She looked thoughtful, then held up both hands with all ten fingers.“Wow... a perfect score!” I exclaimed, then pulled her into a hug. “Do you want Auntie to cook something else for you tomorrow?”Her eyes widened. “Tomorrow? You mean... I’ll be staying here?” She turned to look at Grandma. “Great-Grandma, is it true I’ll be staying with Dad, Aunt Shenna, and Baby Brother?” she asked, and Grandma nodded with a smile.“As long as you promise n
