11. Fighting Because of a Kiss Mark

The wall clock in the family living room showed eight in the morning when the front door of the house opened.Liora stepped inside slowly. The morning air was still cold, yet her body felt warm—not because of the weather, but because of feelings that had not fully settled since last night. A small bag still hung from her shoulder, her hair slightly messy even though she had tidied it up as best she could.But her steps stopped immediately.In the living room, Daren was sitting on the sofa in work clothes he had not yet changed out of. Beside him, Martina was holding a cup of warm tea. Both of them turned their heads almost at the same time toward Liora.Degh!Liora’s heart pounded hard.“Daren!”‘It’s strange that he’s already home this early … did he lose his memory? This isn’t like him at all,’ she wondered inwardly.‘Usually, when he’s with Camelia, he always loses track of time,’ Liora took a short breath. ‘Ah, why am I even thinking about it. Whether he comes home early or not, i

12. The Unspoken Distance

The front door opened precisely when the clock showed half past seven in the morning, and Ethan stepped inside with heavy strides.His face looked exhausted, his gaze hollow, as if his mind was still left somewhere else—specifically, at his apartment.I hope Liora can take care of herself after I leave, he thought.He immediately took off his suit jacket and placed it carelessly on the sofa.Stevani, who had been sitting in the living room, stood up at once.“Darling, you are home?” she asked softly. There was a trace of jealousy in her voice that she tried hard to suppress. “I have been waiting for you since last night. Where have you been? I was really worried about you.” Stevani linked her arm with Ethan’s, but he immediately pulled away.Ethan gave a brief nod. “I was busy at the office.”The answer was cold—far too brief.“Busy to the point of forgetting to come home?” Stevani looked at him longer. “Your phone was off, Ed. I was worried about you.” She stepped closer again as Eth

13. The Shadow of That Heated Night

“Liora … open the door. You have not eaten since this afternoon, have you? Come on, I will accompany you to eat, or we can eat outside,” Daren shouted. “Has it not been a long time since we last ate out together? Today, I deliberately made time. We also need to talk. Do you want to?” he invited.Knock!Knock!“Darling … open the do—”Click!Liora opened the door, her expression still flat. “It is rare for you to be this attentive, inviting me to eat again?” Liora asked in surprise.Daren knew that for the past several years, he had always been cold and only sweet when he wanted something from Liora. But somehow, today he was different.“Do not say it like that, Darling. If I have lacked time for you all this time, it is because I was bus—”“Tsk! Again with the excuse of being busy. It is stale, you know!” Liora snapped, her mood turning bad again.Earlier, when Liora heard the invitation to eat, she had been very happy. Because it was rare for Daren to be willing to make time for her.

14. Ethan’s Anger and Harsh Warning

“Ah!”Ethan jolted awake, clutching his head as a sharp pain throbbed through it. “I’m in the bedroom—why? Wasn’t I supposed to go to the office earlier? Then why am I lying on the bed?”He tried to recall what had happened. At that moment, he remembered Stevani handing him a drink. After that, he truly remembered nothing at all.“Stevani!” Ethan clenched his fists. “What did she do to me, damn it!”Ethan immediately looked down at his own body after lifting the blanket. Below the waist, he was still wearing his trousers. At once, he let out a breath of relief.Even so, his upper body was bare. His shirt and suit jacket were neatly placed on the back of the sofa. “How dare she do something like that to me!” Ethan growled angrily.With rage beginning to take over, Ethan got up and walked quickly to grab his shirt, putting it on in hurried movements. At that moment, the door opened. Stevani stood there, wearing a sexy, translucent nightgown, slowly approaching Ethan.“Darling, you’re aw

15. Sparks of Jealousy

Liora’s steps felt light as she entered one of the largest department stores in the mall. Daren was still holding her hand, warm, as if this day had truly been created just for the two of them.“If you see something you like, just take it,” Daren said casually. “Do not hesitate. Today, I am here just for you.”Liora turned to him, slightly surprised. A small smile appeared on her lips.“Really?”“Of course,” Daren answered without hesitation. “Take anything you want. I will pay for it.”Liora laughed softly, feeling a warmth she had not felt in a long time.“All right, but I want to look around first.”Daren nodded. He let Liora walk a few steps ahead of him, his eyes following her every movement. Somehow, seeing Liora busy choosing things, her face glowing like that, gave him a sense of satisfaction he could not explain.Liora stopped in front of a rack of evening gowns. Her fingers brushed against the soft, dark-colored fabric with an elegant cut. A few steps away, her eyes were dra

16. One Thing Said, Another Felt

Camelia slammed her phone down onto the table.Her chest rose and fell, her breathing rough, while the phone screen still displayed the latest post from Liora’s account—a glimpse of togetherness that looked far too happy for her to accept.Liora was smiling.Daren stood beside her.And they looked … whole.“Liora …,” Camelia muttered, her jaw tightening. “How dare you.”Her hand clenched tightly.“Daren is mine,” she hissed in anger. “He should be by my side, not accompanying you on a stroll like that!”She paced back and forth across her apartment, her high heels striking the marble floor, each step echoing her growing fury.For the past few years, Camelia had grown accustomed to claiming Daren.Accustomed to being the place he returned to.Accustomed to being the woman he always sought, whenever he wanted.And now … Liora had taken it all away so easily.“I won’t let this happen,” she muttered coldly. “I won’t let you be happy.”Camelia stopped walking. A thin smile—sharp and danger

17. An Intentionally Heated Kiss

The car sped along at above-average speed.Streetlights reflected off the windshield, flashing by rapidly—just as fast as Liora’s now-unruly heartbeat. Her hands gripped the seatbelt, her jaw tightening as she held back the boiling emotions in her chest.“Stop!” Liora snapped, turning sharply toward Ethan. “I said stop! Let me out right now!”Ethan did not answer. His eyes remained fixed straight ahead, his jaw set, his hands gripping the steering wheel as if it were the only way to keep himself from losing control.“Are you deaf?!” Liora’s voice rose. “I don’t want to be in your car! Stop right now!”She reached for the door handle and pulled hard.Click.Locked.“Ethan!” Liora shouted in panic. “This is crazy! You’re driving too fast!”Ethan slammed on the brakes.The tires screeched sharply.Liora’s body lurched forward, then snapped back as the seatbelt restrained her. She gasped, her chest rising and falling rapidly. The car came to a stop on the side of a deserted road.Silence

18. Restless Thinking of Liora

That morning, Daren stood in front of the mirror of Camelia’s apartment, dressed neatly in his work suit. The watch on his wrist showed the time he should have used to go to the office. Yet his mind was nowhere near work.Daren wanted to go home. "I better get home quickly and check on Liora. Her phone has been inactive since last night; I’m really worried about her," Daren thought, not realizing that Camelia had been watching him from the sofa all this time.Camelia observed Daren, her eyes sharp and full of suspicion. Since last night, her uneasiness had not eased.“Where are you going so early?” Camelia finally asked, her voice flat yet piercing.“It’s unusual …,” she added suspiciously.Daren buttoned his jacket, glancing at her. “There’s an important meeting at the office, so I have to leave quickly now.”Camelia chuckled softly, but there was no humor in it. “Meeting? Or are you going home, then to see your wife?” Camelia began to get angry.Daren approached Camelia and briefly

19. The Mysterious Gift

That morning, Ethan’s office felt quieter than usual. The tall glass curtains revealed a bright city sky, in sharp contrast to the man’s face, which looked tired and worn by his own thoughts.Ethan sat in the director’s chair, his laptop open in front of him. However, he did not read any of the data-filled screen. His gaze was empty, his fingers motionless on the desk.That name surfaced in his mind again.Liora.He let out a slow breath and leaned back.“Why does your image keep appearing?” he thought bitterly.Since that night—the night when he unconsciously sent two paper bags to Daren’s house—his mind had never truly been at ease. He knew it was a foolish act. Too bold. Too risky.Yet, for some reason, he did not regret it.“I shouldn’t have let myself get carried away. I should have stopped bothering her,” he muttered softly.“But when I saw you being kissed by Daren, I couldn’t stay still. I was angry, and I didn’t like it.”The meeting room door opened. Several employees were al

20. The Wounded Substitute

Camelia could not sit calmly and quietly. From earlier, Liora’s smile felt like a knife slowly slicing through her patience.The way the woman spoke, looked at her, even laughed—everything seemed deliberately done to humiliate her.“I’ll excuse myself first,” Camelia said suddenly, rising from her seat.Liora turned her head, her eyebrows slightly raised. “You just got here. It’s been a long time since we gathered like this.”Camelia forced a smile. “I have something urgent to take care of … sorry, I’ll go first.”Nadine, who was sitting between them, only nodded. “Be careful on the way, Cam.”“Okay.”Camelia grabbed her bag and walked away without looking back. The sharp sound of her heels echoed, in rhythm with her chest that thundered with anger.“Just wait, Liora. Do you really think that sweet smile of yours will last long?”Camelia scoffed. “Tsk! I’m sure it won’t. Because sooner or later, I will be the one who becomes Mrs. Daren.”As soon as Camelia’s back disappeared behind th
