Chapter 1: Just For Love

“Marry him. Make him fall in love. Then kill him.” Lilico’s cold voice cut through the heavy silence like a knife. Ivana’s gaze snapped toward Lilico as if waking from a trance. Unconsciously, the money slipped from her hand, scattering onto the floor. Uncontrollable laughter burst from her throat, shoulders shaking violently, ribs aching. Her gaze darted wildly between Lilico and her boyfriend, Davis, who sat opposite her, desperately signaling her to accept. “Wait! What?” Ivana finally choked out, suppressing her laughter. “Is this a joke? Or do I look like a hired killer to you? If you’ve got this much money, why not hire a professional?” Amusement lingered in her voice. Lilico’s stony expression suggested she was deadly serious. Lilico and Davis exchanged a sharp glance. This wasn’t the reaction they’d anticipated. Knowing Ivana, outspoken, unfiltered, and notoriously money-driven (a fact well-known, especially to Davis, who understood she’d go to great lengths for it) they

Chapter 2: THE DREAD AND PLEASURE L.

Lilico’s nod sent shivers down Ivana’s spine, draining the color from her face. Ivana blinked once, twice, then tilted her head as if trying to grasp the whole thing. Suddenly, it clicked in head, her eyes widened in shock as she raised a finger and pointed at Lilico. “You’re Ice Face’s younger sister? The adopted child?” she exclaimed. Ivana couldn’t believe she was sitting across from the only daughter of the Brooklyn. A well-known U.S business tycoon. Lilico was their adopted daughter, showered with love even after patriarch Grey Brooklyn’s death. Her cold, ice-faced elder brother, Tardrain, had left abroad to run his own company, leaving Lilico and his mother in charge of the family business. Lilico scoffed, a cold smirk twisting her lips. “I hate that word ‘adopted’!” she hissed, slamming another cash onto the table. “Make him fall hard for you, then kill him. He took what’s mine. Now I’ll take everything from him.” Venom dripped from every word of her mouth. Ivana’s hear

Chapter 3: Shocking Discovery

The ride to the Brooklyn mansion was smooth, but the silence suffocated them in the car. No one dared to start a conversation, as every one of them was buried in their thoughts. Ivana’s fingers drummed nervously on her thigh as she awaited the moment the car would stop. Davis noticed her trembling hand and quickly placed his over hers to calm her down. He had insisted on joining them to make sure she was fine with everything. Not like he cared, though. He just doesn’t want Ivana to change her mind along the way. “If you act like this in front of Tardrain, I bet you won’t survive a day,” Lilico muttered, staring at them through the driver’s rearview mirror. “Come on, stop painting him to be a villain . You’re scaring her. Besides, he’s also human like us,” Davis defended, gripping Ivana’s hand tighter. Lilico let out a short, dry laugh. Marveled at how Davis was pretending to care about Ivana’s feelings, when she already knew he was in for all the benefits. Suddenly, the c

Episode 4: Hurtful Mockery

“Out!” Tardrain screamed, stamping his palm on his wheelchair armrest, his chest rose and fell in rage. Ivana stood frozen in place, her legs refusing to move. The shocking discovery sent her mind reeling, struggling to grasp the truth. Ivana’s feet rooted to the floor. The shock still buzzed in her veins, he was crippled. No one had warned her. Not Lilico. Not Gladdis. Not even Davis. Did they hide it on purpose? Her mind spun. ‘Davis wouldn’t lie to me… would he?’ But the irony hit harder. The untouchable Tardrain Brooklyn, The New York’s golden monster, the man who crushed empires with his successful company—reduced to this shadowed room, hiding his broken body while the world believed he was conquering abroad. He had an accident, amnesia. A secret kept from the world. Well, damn, she thought, a dark thrill curling in her belly. This just got interesting. “Why the stare?” His voice dropped lower, colder, those piercing brown eyes locking onto hers like a predator sighting pre

Episode 5: Married

Tardrain expertly navigated his wheelchair toward his bedside. There was his alarming gadget, lying on his bedside drawer, used for calling his servants during emergencies. He angrily punched the red button. His fingers curled on his wheelchair armrest, the leather cracking under his grip, a fiery rage coursed through his veins, threatening to consume him. “Who the hell was that maid? Her audacity. Her guts. Who the hell employed her?” he groaned through gritted teeth. His chest rose and fell, his anger mounting at himself. He felt humiliated; he felt downgraded. Everything about Ivana’s gaze was something he had never seen or experienced before. Her eyes, the way she stared at him as if he wasn’t the most feared in the city, as if he was just a ‘cripple’ to be pitied. “Fuck!” Tardrain stamped his clenched fist repeatedly on the wheelchair armrest. The impact rattled up his useless legs; at least he could feel something other than this choking fury. But at the same time, he fe

Chapter 6: The Will

It was already six in the morning when Mrs. Gladdis woke up to resume her usual routine; always going to check up on Tardrain. Not because she cared, but because she relished seeing his spirit break under her taunting gaze.However, today was different, she made her way up the stairs to Tardrain’s room. She tried to turn the doorknob, but it wouldn't budge; it was locked from the inside. Which meant one thing. Ivana wasn't in the room.She let out a loud hiss of disappointment, she’d come to check if Ivana had spent the night in Tardrain’s room.Without hesitation, she strode down the corridor to Lilico’s room and pushed the door open without knocking. Inside, she found Lilico applying a facial mask, her fingers smoothing the creamy paste over her skin. Lilico turned around immediately, dropping the remaining mask on the table. She shifted her full attention to her mother, wondering what had brought her this early. “Good morning, Mom,” she greeted, standing up from her chair to s

Chapter 7: The grumpy prince and the little demon

Ivana stopped in front of Tardrain’s door, her hand reached for the doorknob. But as she twisted it, it hit a hard stop. Her face fell, her lips pouted in genuine disappointment.Instinctively, she glanced over her shoulder, she saw Lilico leaning against the doorframe, watching her with a sharp calculative gaze and her hands folded tightly across her chest.Ivana flashed her a nervous smile, and pointed a silent finger on the door, signaling that problem. She pressed her lips in a hard line; she didn't want Tardrain to hear her voice, or make her presence known.Suddenly, Lilico reached out into her sweatpants and pulled out a silver spare key. She waved it at Ivana, whose eyes lit up, a bright, mischievous smile, broke across her face the moment she sighted the key.‘How did she get that?’ Ivana’s mind swirled in thought for a second, but she didn’t care to ask Lilico. She gently tip-toed back to Lilico and snatched the key, grinning from ear to ear.“Thank you.” She whispered, hol

Chapter 8: Claiming territory.

Exactly ten minutes, Ivana came back as she’d promised, however, beside her was her huge luggage of clothes resting on the floor. She had already pondered on how to achieve this mission, and after weighing all the pros and cons she finally concluded on coming to stay with him together. ‘What if he takes advantage of me?’ a seed of profound fear crawled on her skin. But, she silently shook her head to dispel such thoughts. She had heard horrible things about Tardrain; only how he messed with people. But never had she heard of him getting involved with a woman. She let out a long sigh and reached out to the doorknob, and twisted it which came to a hard stop. “He locked the door, again, huh!” She muttered under her breath. “But how?” She wondered, because she could remember vividly how she had pushed his wheelchair far away from his reach. “Did he really crawl out of his bed, just because he didn't want to bathe?” A little chuckle escaped her lips, and she pulled out the spare ke

Chapter 9: Change your plan

Ivana ran as fast as her legs could carry her downstairs. She couldn't bear the thought of all the beautiful dresses and clothes ending up in the trash.“What was he thinking?” Trying to get back at me, huh?” She muttered, on the verge of tears. “Just wait for my payback, Tardrain.” She kept running, and in no time, she was standing outside.Her chest heaved as if she had run a marathon. With her hands resting on her hips, her gaze darted around the large mansion surrounding, searching for a possible direction where the trash bin might be.Suddenly, she spotted a male and female servant whispering to each other’s ear and giggles, giving off major high school lovers vibes. They were so engrossed in their conversation that nothing else matters to them. Ivana scoffed, rolling her eyes as she prepared to continue her search. However,instinctively, her gaze lowered to their feet, only to find her luggage sitting right there on the pavement.“That’s my luggage! Thank goodness,” She exclai

Chapter 10: The Love-bomb Strategy

He finally answered. “Hello, babe,” his voice came through from the line, sounding distant.Ivana’s heart gave a nervous skip, She quickly rushed to the door, opening it just a crack to peek out. Her corridor was silent; she made sure no one was eavesdropping before she closed the door. She walked back to the bed, and sat on the edge, her shoulder tensed. She took a long steadying breath. “Hey. What’s up?” She muttered, trying to keep her tone flat and neutral to hide the internal tension. “I called you yesterday and you didn't pick up. The same thing happened today.” His voice deepened, and she could almost see the frown on his face. The irritation was evident in his voice.Ivana knew he’d be mad at her. In all three years of relationship, she had never missed his calls, no matter the hour or how busy she was. To Davis, her silence was loud, and unbearable. She understood his frustration; if the roles were reversed, Ivana would have burned the bridge down already.“I'm sorry. I ha
