Chapter: THE DEBT IS ALREADY PAID"You keep talking about what I owe Charlie and that family." Ethan said calmly, then looked at her coldly, "But the truth is… I already paid for everything the day I was sent to prison for him." The accusation echoed across the quiet driveway.Jenny clenched her fist at those words."Going to prison is nothing compared to what Charlie went through because of you," she snapped. "And when will you stop pretending to be the victim, Ethan? You didn’t go to prison for nothing. I promised to marry you in return. Wasn’t that a huge profit for you?"She lifted her chin proudly."Do you have any idea how many young men from influential families are dying to marry me? But I'm giving you that opportunity, aren't you supposed to be grateful for that?" Ethan looked at her quietly before answering."You still haven’t realized something, Jenny. The only reason I ever stood beside you back then was because I believed you were worth it."He paused. "I was wrong."His voice remained calm but intensi

Chapter: TEN MINUTES TO SPEAK"Mr. Ethan is not available."The old man standing at the doorway delivered the sentence without any kind of emotion, his posture perfectly straight as he blocked the entrance of the residence with quiet authority. His eyes rested on Jenny with the polite indifference of someone who had already finished the conversation before it had even begun.Jenny remained standing on the steps, dressed as elegantly as always, her expression composed despite the door that had just been closed in front of her moments earlier."Ask him to stop pretending and come downstairs," she replied calmly.The butler looked at her for a brief moment, as if considering whether the statement required a response at all, then inclined his head slightly before closing the door without another word.The heavy wooden door shut firmly.Jenny stared at it in silence.For several seconds she remained where she was, her gaze fixed on the polished surface as if expecting it to open again immediately.

Chapter: THE PRICE OF SUCCESSION"So, what are we going to talk about now?" Scarlett’s calm voice settled over the boardroom like a quiet command.The directors seated around the long polished table straightened almost instinctively. Moments earlier they had been whispering among themselves, exchanging careful glances and guarded comments, but now the room had fallen into a silence that felt far heavier than their earlier discussions.Scarlett remained in the same place at the head of the table with effortless composure, and a thin folder resting neatly before her. Ethan quietly sat beside her without speaking a word, his posture remained relaxed yet observant as his gaze moved calmly across the unfamiliar faces gathered around the room.For a brief moment no one spoke as if they were preparing themselves about what to say.Then one of the older directors cleared his throat."Ms. Caspian," he began carefully, his tone polite but measured, "the board understands that recent events have accelerated the transition of

Chapter: WHEN AUTHORITY WALKS IN"There is a board meeting at nine, Mr. Shadow Tyrant."Scarlett’s voice came through the phone at exactly seven in the morning, calm and composed as if she were discussing a minor scheduling adjustment rather than a confrontation that could determine control over billions in assets.Ethan sat up slowly, letting the quiet weight of her words settle before responding."Good morning Ms. Caspian," he said dryly, glancing at the clock beside his bed. "Should I assume this meeting is important enough to ruin my sleep early in the morning?" "Three directors began moving assets after yesterday’s announcement," Scarlett replied without acknowledging the comment. "They believe the sudden change in authority will force hesitation on my part, and they intend to secure their interests before the situation stabilizes." Ethan leaned back slightly, listening as her tone remained steady."I will not hesitate," she continued with a smooth and professional tone. "You only need to be present at the mee

Chapter: THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN REACH HIM"So, what exactly are you trying to say now, Charlie?" Jenny sighed in irritation, still clearly frustrated about Ethan blocking her.Charlie’s voice remained calm on the other side of the phone."I'm saying the kind of feelings Ethan has for you don’t disappear overnight," he replied smoothly. "No matter how angry Ethan acts right now, you’re still the person who understands him the most, you know what is best for him better than anyone else."Jenny frowned as she stared at her reflection in the mirror."Did you see the way he looked tonight?" she muttered. "Standing beside my aunt as if she suddenly became the most important person in his life.... I know he is doing all this to provoke me, but the audacity to do it right in front of me… He has suddenly become very fearless lately." Charlie paused for a moment before answering. "That’s exactly why I’m concerned."Jenny’s brows knitted slightly. "Concerned about what?"Charlie exhaled quietly, as if he had been thinking about this fo

Chapter: THE MESSAGE HE NEVER REPLIED TO"I’m not finished with you yet, Ethan," Jenny muttered to herself as she stared at the glowing screen of her phone.The quiet atmosphere of her bedroom felt unusually heavy that night, the silence broken only by the faint hum of the air conditioner. It was nearly two in the morning, yet sleep refused to come anywhere near her, because the image on her phone screen refused to leave her mind.A photograph had been circulating online since the banquet ended earlier that evening, one of the many images taken by reporters and guests who had attended the event.In the photograph, Ethan and Scarlett were walking out of the banquet hall together, their expressions calm and unbothered by the chaos that had unfolded behind them. Scarlett looked composed as always, her posture elegant and confident, while Ethan walked beside her with an ease that made something unfamiliar twist inside Jenny’s chest.She had seen Ethan look nervous around her countless times in the past, always eager to please

"No one cares whether I live or die," Christian thought as he felt himself losing consciousness, his body weak and broken after being abused to the brink of death by his own father.

"Who dared to hurt the heir of the Sargent family?" His uncles roared, their voices trembling with rage.
"The one who dares to lay a finger on my precious grandson will meet their end!" His grandfather declared with cold determination.
"Here, Christian," one of his aunts smiled, handing him a sparkling black card. "This is your diamond card, one of a kind. It’s all yours, you could even buy a country with it if that’s what you want."
They treated him like the most precious treasure in the world.
The once-abandoned and ridiculed son of the Adam's family turned out to be the long-lost heir of the prestigious Sargent family.

Adrian raised an eyebrow looking at Christian who didn't utter a single word.Christian’s jaw tightened slightly, but he did not answer.Adrian noticed the silence immediately, and said calmly, "You are very determined not to tell me who that person is, aren't you?" Christian finally looked up at him and replied, "It's not about telling you or not telling you Mr. Adrian, I feel it’s better to keep the way it is rather than letting everything out." Adrian studied his face carefully. "You don’t trust me with that information? Am I not trustworthy in your eyes?"For some reason Adrian's heart ached because for days he did everything to make Christian's closed heart to open up, he thought everything would be normal in between them, but today looking at Christian who is hesitating to telling him a truth made Adrian slightly get hurt.However, Christian shook his head slowly with a gentle expression, "It's not about trust Mr. Adria

Christian’s voice remained calm when he finished speaking, yet the quiet determination behind those words carried a weight that settled heavily across the living room as he stood beside the table where the three fragments of the amulet lay under the soft light.Adrian did not say anything, as he just watched Christian carefully, studying the young man’s face with the quiet attention of someone who had learned long ago that the most important truths were usually hidden between the words people chose not to say.The silence between them stretched for several seconds before Adrian finally leaned back slightly against the chair behind him and folded his arms."You speak about protecting someone," Adrian said slowly, his tone calm but deliberate.

Chapter: AM I?"She is clearly playing favourites isn't she?" Christian’s voice carried a sharp bitterness as he stood near the table where the wooden box still lay open, the small piece of the amulet resting inside like an unwanted memory that had suddenly returned to his life.The apartment had grown unusually quiet after Rosaline’s assistant left, and the silence felt heavier than the conversation that had just ended.Adrian sighed softly, "calm down Chris...."Christian rolled his eyes, "I'm not bothered about it or the woman who gave it to me, I don't care anymore." Adrian did not respond immediately.Instead he picked up the amulet piece carefully and studied it under the light, his expression remained thoughtful as his fingers traced the familiar engravings carved into the metal surface.Christian watched the movement for a moment before letting out a faint breath."You don’t need to examine it like that," he said coldly. "I already know what it is.... It's the another piece of amulet I'm l

His expression remained calm, though the heaviness in his eyes had not disappeared since the events of the previous night.When he opened the door and saw the person standing outside, his gaze hardened immediately.For a brief second he simply looked at her.Then he turned away."It’s an unwanted guest," Christian said indifferently as he walked back toward the living room.

Adrian’s voice carried a quiet concern as he stepped into the living room early the next morning.The faint light of dawn filtering through the newly replaced balcony glass and spreading across the apartment that still carried the lingering memory of the chaos from the previous night.Adrian intentionally went back to his room hoping Christian would do the same while he has a deep conversation with his people, Adrian expected Christian to stay within his room and take rest without worrying about anything however things happened different to what he has expected.Christian was sitting on the couch facing the balcony, his posture relaxed at first glance, yet the stillness in his expression revealed that his mind had not rested even for a moment. His eyes remained fixed on the clear glass doors that had been repaired only a few hours earlier, as if he expected them to shatter again at any second."I tried to sleep," Christian repl

However these people are almost trying to kill us.... Why?"

Chapter: WE ARE ALL SET TO LEAVE THIS COUNTRY "How should I begin it?" Bryan thought to himself as the next morning, he arrived at the office early to set the plan in motion. He carefully created a fake financial report detailing nonexistent transactions, ensuring it looked as authentic as possible.Once the file was complete, he placed it in a safe place where Nancy usually hides the things, so that they'll not suspect it as fake.As the file was hidden safely, he placed four tiny cameras to cover angles of the room, so that he can capture every movement in the office."Now this is perfect to trap a rat," Bryan smirked, and left the room immediately, he asked Nancy also not to go into the room for a whole day and lie about having work outside.He also went to college to complete his tasks there, after finishing all, by the end of the day, Bryan returned to the office and checked the original CCTV footage of Nancy's office, as he suspected the cameras didn't work.To make it more dramatic Bryan called for a few security staff wh

"Why should I answer to you?" Bryan crossed his arms, clenching his fist, Jake sighed, "Bryan, don't push your luck too much."

Chapter: SOMETHING CONSPIRACY"Why is this mystery never ending?" Bryan sat in his study, surrounded by stacks of old documents and family records. Unaware of what Josephine is plotting behind his back, he is so busy in getting the truth that was buried in the past. The faint glow of the desk lamp made him feel uneasy to stare at the papers, however he is so busy and involved in flipping the pages. He had been checking through the Winterwood archives for hours, determined to find any trace of evidence to support his suspicions regarding the mysteries. As he reached the bottom of an old wooden chest, a red envelope caught his attention. The paper looked too old, the edges were torn, and the handwriting on the front unmistakably belonged to his late grandfather, Edward Winterwood, "grandfather? This handwriting is similiar to grandfather's, I still remember the handwriting of grandfather from my previous life while helping my father, if so why is grandfather's handwritten paper is here?"

If you don't want to say it's okay." Bryan took a deep breath and said the conversation he had before with officer Hobbes."What the!" Stacy was beyond surprised, "how can this be?" Bryan replied, "I don't know either, but the maid is already dead too, I don't believe our mom is doing all the things alone, I'm sure someone must be helping her," Stacy looked curious, "so, did you figure out anything more about these things?" Bryan sighed, leaning back to the bedframe, "Not yet, but I have a feeling this man from mom's past holds the key to everything. If I can figure out who he is, I might be able to predict her next move, until then I'm not sure of anything because things are different from my previous life at this moment, so I can't take a blind step believing in intuition."

To Josephine, it felt like a constant reminder of her fall from grace. Once the madam of the Winterwood household, but she was now reduced to a subordinate, a reality she bitterly hatred.Just then, her phone buzzed on the desk. It was a text from Bryan, "I think you love your new life, Mrs. Winterwood." Josephine slammed her phone down, with an angry look, "The audacity of that bastard to treat me this way! I don't know what got into him out of a sudden, all these years, I've tamed him perfectly, but he became a fox out of a sudden pulling strings to annoy me."
