At that moment in time London’s voice dripped with disbelief, his frustration barely contained.“Do you even understand what this would mean, what everyone would say, and how they will react, Sophia?”His fingers curled against the table, his breath slow but heavy. “It would be a slap to your family's face, hearing you're associating yourself, with that village doctor, someone that doesn't even have a family name.”At that moment he paused.“ Sophia think about it, it's not just you but also you family.”His tone darkened, his words laced with incredulity.“The first woman to ever be the heir to the Natanya family... and you're telling me that a village doctor would be your husband?”Then his jaw tightened even more, his expression hard. “How is that even possible?”His voice lowered, sharp with disdain. “What would people say?”His gaze pierced through her, trying to pull out a reaction.“How do you think the people will accept this?”At that moment in time Silence followed.Sophia

At that moment, London's eyes lit up. He felt something strong inside his heart, something that made him smile. “Sophia,“ he whispered quietly to himself, “you are going to regret this.”Then he sat back in his chair, calm but feeling sure. Sophia had said no to him. But why should he worry? Summerville is a big place, and life was long. Sophia didn't know what she had just lost.At that moment London looked at Sophia, who sat across from him. She seemed happy, smiling a little and not noticing the storm she had started inside him.“Sophia,” London said softly, his voice calm and gentle, “are you sure about this?”Sophia smiled, softly but with confidence. “Yes, London. I'm very sure. I'm sorry if this hurts you, but I can't pretend.”London gave a small nod. “It's fine, Sophia. You made your choice. I respect that.”But inside his heart, London was feeling something strong. He knew this was not over. He could see in his mind that Sophia was making a big mistake. She didn't understan

Immediately Serenity left the house Elvis knelt quickly on the floor, her eyes wide and heart racing. Carefully, he began scooping the herbs into a small glass tube he had brought with her. His fingers shook just a little, knowing how important this moment was.“This is it,” Elvis whispered quietly, his hands moving fast. “This is my chance.”He he carefully placed each tiny piece of the broken herbs into the glass tube, making sure not even the smallest bit was left behind.At that moment in time his heart beat faster as thoughts raced through her mind.If I can just study these herbs closely, Elvis thought, then I’ll finally understand why Damian is so confident. He planned to use them on Serenity's grandfather, but now it's my chance. I can learn all the secrets of these herbs.At that moment a smile started forming on Elvis’s lips, small and careful. She knew very well how good Damian's medicines always were. If she wasn't careful, Damian might still manage to use these herbs tomo

At that moment Serenity quickly turned toward the door. Her eyes opened wide in surprise when she saw the brain standing there. She knew he was coming, but she didn't think he would get here so soon.“What's happening here, War Goddess?” the brain asked calmly, his voice clear and deep.Then Serenity straightened herself, her heart still beating fast from what had just happened. “I was interrogating this man named Damien,” she replied, keeping her voice firm, but respectful.At that moment the brain stepped closer, looking at Damien carefully. “And why exactly are you interrogating him yourself? Isn't that the job of your men? or perhaps the interrogating units”Serenity nodded. She took a deep breath, calming herself as best she could.“I wanted to do it myself because this Damien is not a simple person. He knows too many things about Somerville—things he shouldn't know.”Then the brain raised an eyebrow slightly, his face serious but calm. “Explain clearly.”“Damien has no records,

At that moment Serenity closed the file slowly, her fingers pressing against the edges as she let out a quiet breath. She had all the confirmation she needed now—Damien was truly from the same city as her. His past, his parents, even the close friends still handling one of his father’s companies—it all checked out.But just because the information was there didn’t mean she fully trusted it.“No,” she thought. “I’ll do my own background check. I’ll get to the bottom of everything myself.”At that moment She lifted her head and turned to the brain. “Thank you,” she said, her voice calm, her expression unreadable. “At least now my mind is off this matter.”Hearing what Serenity just said the brain nodded slightly, watching her carefully. He didn’t say anything else.Serenity was about to turn away, about to leave the room and put distance between herself and this whole situation, when Damien’s voice cut through the air.“I hope you’re not going to disturb me anymore, Serenity,” he said
