Theariza sat on the edge of the bed, hugging herself tightly as if that were the only way she could find the strength to keep going. The room was quiet, yet the noise of her thoughts roared inside her head like thunder. “No… I shouldn’t doubt him,” she whispered to herself as she wiped away her tears. She closed her eyes and desperately tried to remember all those days when Alexander had promised her his love. But why did she feel this way? As she tried to convince herself that everything was fine, a small voice in her heart continued to whisper— Something is wrong… he’s hiding something from me. Suddenly, she remembered Althea. Where could Althea be? What time was it already? Theariza glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. She swallowed hard when she saw the time—it was already eight o’clock in the evening. Althea still wasn’t home. There was still no news from her. Theariza sighed deeply as she tightly gripped the hem of her dress. Tok! Tok! Tok! A loud knock on the

Theariza slowly approached the car. She tightly gripped the keys as she stood beside the vehicle. For a moment, she closed her eyes. It suddenly felt as though the entire world had grown heavier. The cold night air brushed against her face, but it was not enough to ease the burning pain building inside her chest. Why does everything feel so heavy…? This wasn't the life I dreamed of after the surrogacy… But why does it feel like my dream is slowly coming true? She took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm herself, before slowly opening the driver's-side door. As she stepped inside, she was immediately enveloped by the familiar scent of the car—Alexander's perfume. But this time, another fragrance lingered in the air. A perfume that wasn't hers. Althea's perfume. Theariza's body stiffened. It felt as though a sharp needle was slowly piercing her heart. She slowly closed the car door. Click. The small sound of the lock echoed, and it felt as though, along with it, ano

“Let me help you, best. I’m really hungry,” Althea said cheerfully as she approached Theariza. “So this is what it feels like to be pregnant… wow, it’s actually exciting, best.” There was genuine delight in her voice as she gently caressed her stomach, as if showing how much she cherished the life growing inside her. But Theariza immediately shook her head. “Just sit there, best,” she quickly replied while continuing to chop the vegetables. “I’ll do the cooking. I promise, it’ll only take a moment.” Althea smiled slightly and pretended to give in. “Okay, you said it, best,” she replied as she gently sat down at the kitchen table. “I’ll just drink some water… I’m thirsty too.” She immediately stood from her seat and walked toward the refrigerator. She carefully opened it and took out a bottle of cold water. Meanwhile, in the living room… “Where’s Althea?” Mrs. Alicia asked loudly as she looked around. Alexander had just come downstairs from their room upstairs.

The kitchen fell silent after Mrs. Alicia spoke. It was as if even the air was afraid to move. Theariza remained with her head bowed. Her hands trembled slightly as she continued holding the cotton she had not been able to use. She did not know where to place herself in that moment. It hurt so much. Not only because of the words the older woman had thrown at her—but because she knew there was nothing she could do to defend herself. Slowly, she knelt on the floor. One by one, she picked up the shattered pieces of glass scattered across the kitchen tiles. Quietly. Carefully. But she failed to notice that one of the sharp shards had cut into her palm. “Ouch...” she whispered. She winced slightly. A thin line of blood immediately appeared on her hand. But she did not stop. She continued picking up the broken glass, as though cleaning the mess was more important than tending to her own wound. Meanwhile, on the other side of the mansion, inside the bedroom shared by the marr

Inside the room, Mrs. Alicia spoke again.“That’s the right thing to do, son,” she said firmly.“You should have done that to her a long time ago.”“You’ve been married to Theariza for five years, but until now, you still don’t have a child. What use is she in your life anymore?”Alexander remained silent.But his silence only caused Theariza even more pain.It was as if his silence was a quiet agreement.The older woman spoke again.“If you ask me, you should have divorced her a long time ago.”“A woman who came from an orphanage… with no name, no family, and nothing to give you—not even a grandchild or an heir.”Theariza bit her lower lip.She could feel her entire body trembling.But she forced herself to remain silent.Inside the room, Alexander finally spoke.“Mom… enough.”His voice softened slightly, but the coldness remained.“Just leave my wife alone, Mom. What matters is that we’re going to have a child. You’re going to have a grandchild.”The entire room fell silent for a m

Theariza slowly turned around and walked out of the room. She quietly closed the door behind her. For a moment, she stopped in the middle of the mansion’s long hallway. The light from the crystal chandelier was bright, yet somehow, everything around her felt incredibly dark.She clenched her hands tightly.“That dream was complete nonsense… that will never happen.”“My husband loves me… he loves me.”“That’s right… my husband loves me.” Theariza whispered softly but firmly to herself, as though trying to convince her heart, which was pounding with anxiety. She closed her eyes for a moment, desperately holding back the tears threatening to fall.“We’ll talk later… and I know he’ll tell me that he only said that in front of Mama to—”For what?Suddenly, her own voice screamed inside her mind, sharp and judgmental.For what, Theariza?To cover up what you did?Or to show you that you no longer mean anything to him?She flinched. Theariza shook her head while tightly squeezing her own han

“Thea, stop! Don’t hurt Auntie!”Althea shouted as she quickly grabbed Theariza’s hand. But in truth, Theariza had not made any move to hurt anyone. She had only been speaking.Just as Alexander entered the living room, he clearly heard the last words Theariza had said earlier.“Mama…” Theariza’s voice trembled as she looked at her mother-in-law.“Why are you doing this to me?” she asked with difficulty, tears welling up in her eyes.“I only did the surrogacy because I wanted us to have a child… I wanted our family to be complete.” Her grip tightened around her clothes, which were soaked with soup.“I didn’t do it so you could humiliate me like this… not so you could ruin my name… and especially not so you could break my heart in my own home.”Every word struck Alexander’s mind like a hammer repeatedly pounding against it.For a moment, the surroundings fell silent.Alexander swallowed as he stared at his wife.What is happening to you, Theariza? he wondered.You weren’t like this bef

Inside the car… The night was quiet as Alexander’s car sped along the road. His hands were tightly gripping the steering wheel, and he was clearly worried. “Sweetie…” Althea called softly and sweetly as she leaned against the seat. Alexander immediately glanced at her. “Just a moment, sweetheart,” he said while continuing to drive. “I’m taking you to the hospital to make sure you and the baby are okay.” His voice was filled with concern. Suddenly, Althea reached for Alexander’s hand resting on the gear shift. “Sorry, sweetheart…” she said softly. Alexander frowned. “Why?” “It seems… the pain in my lower abdomen is gone.” She smiled faintly. “Maybe the baby was just frightened by all the shouting earlier. Maybe the baby was startled and just reacted.” She took a deep breath. “But now… I’m okay. It doesn’t hurt anymore.” She wrapped her arms around Alexander’s arm as though seeking affection. “Are you sure?” Alexander asked, still not completely reassured. Althea nodded.

“Wow… so Theariza is actually rich.”Mrs. Alicia Huston could hardly believe her eyes as she stood there, gazing at the elegant woman in front of the gate.I never expected this… she thought to herself.What am I going to do now?Her palms grew slightly cold.She couldn’t let this woman find out that her daughter was in the storage room, locked up inside.Why did she suddenly show up?While she was busy thinking, the door of the luxurious vehicle suddenly opened again.A bodyguard stepped out and carefully took an expensive folding chair from inside the car.He immediately unfolded it beside the vehicle.“Madam,” he said respectfully, bowing slightly.“Please have a seat while we wait for Mrs. Huston’s response.”The elegant and composed woman gave a slight nod.“Thank you.”She carefully sat down, her movements calm yet authoritative.Upon hearing the bodyguard’s words, Mrs. Alicia finally snapped out of her thoughts.“Ah… I-I’m sorry,” she said with a forced smile, trying to hide he

“Mama… are you really my mama?” Althea asked tearfully. Her voice trembled as her hands slightly clutched the woman's clothes, like a child who had long waited to feel a mother's embrace. But behind her tears, a different emotion flickered in her eyes—a cold and calculated intention that she was forcing herself to hide. I can't believe that woman is a trillionaire… we grew up together in the orphanage, but why was she the only one who got lucky? Althea muttered to herself. Mrs. Montale could no longer restrain herself. She immediately stepped closer and touched Althea's face, gazing at every detail as her eyes gradually filled with tears. “It's really me, child…” her voice trembled as she slowly pulled Althea into a tight embrace. “I am your mama.” She hugged the young woman tightly, as if afraid she might lose her again. “But… mama,” Althea softly said while stepping back slightly to look into the woman's eyes. “I'm no longer a child who can just be taken whenever you want. I a
