IRREVERSIBLE
"How does it matter to you?" Ethan crossed his arms, his gaze settling on Jenny with quiet indifference, as if her words held no real weight. "Whether I’m impressing anyone or not… and even if I do, it will never be for you."A brief pause followed, but he didn’t stop there."More importantly," he added calmly, his tone turning colder without rising in volume, "why are you so obsessed with me to this extent? Have you forgotten your place… or do you need me to remind you that I am your aunt’s husband?"The words landed without force, yet they carried enough weight to shift the air around them.Jenny’s expression stiffened."You…" she began, but before she could continue, Scarlett stepped forward, her lips curving into a faint smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes."He’s right," she said smoothly, her voice calm yet laced with quiet sharpness. "Why are you so concerned about my husband? Don’t tell me you still haven’t gotten over him."Jenny’s eyes widened slightly, irritation flashing
ON WHAT AUTHORITY?
"How dare you come here after I warned you not to?"Jenny’s voice cut through the hall the moment Ethan stepped forward, her composure cracking as anger surged through her, her eyes locked onto him as if his very presence was an insult she could not tolerate.Ethan paused mid-step, his gaze shifting toward her, and his brows lifting slightly, not in shock, but in faint confusion as he studied her expression for a brief moment."You warned me? About what?" he asked calmly, his tone carrying neither guilt nor hesitation, only quiet curiosity as if he genuinely failed to understand what she was referring to.Jenny stiffened for a second before recovering, her chin lifting slightly as she spoke with confidence. "Yes, I did, I told you not to attend this meeting if you still wanted to come back to me."A brief silence followed.Ethan exhaled slowly, a faint sigh escaping him as he looked at her, his gaze steady, almost indifferent."Even if you did," he said calmly, "what made you think I
STANDING ALONE UNTIL SHE WASN'T
"I’m telling you, this is the last chance I’m giving you, Ethan. If you still want me, then be obedient this time. I will convince my father about our marriage… but only if you obey me and don’t attend the elders’ meeting as Scarlett's husband."The message was sent without hesitation, her fingers steady, while her expression remained calm, as if she had already decided the outcome before even giving him a chance to respond.Delivered.Seen, and yet no reply came, just like always.Jenny stared at the screen for a long moment, her brows knitting slightly before easing again, her lips slowly curving into a confident smile as she locked her phone and lifted her chin."He must be thinking, and he always takes his time before choosing me," she murmured under her breath, her tone filled with certainty rather than doubt, as if silence itself was proof of her control over him.The Caspian ancestral hall stood grand and oppressive, its high ceilings and heavy atmosphere carrying the weight of
A DEBT PAID IN LIES
"I told you already, if the money doesn’t come in today, we won’t be calling you next time… we’ll be at your doorstep to collect the money personally."The voice on the other end was low, almost lazy, yet the threat beneath it was unmistakable, and as the call ended abruptly, Charlie slowly lowered his phone, his fingers tightening around it as a thin layer of sweat formed across his palm.For a moment, he didn’t move, in fact he wasn't able to take a step forward or backward.The silence in the room felt suffocating, pressing against him as his breathing grew uneven, his mind racing through numbers, deadlines, and the reality he had been trying to avoid for days.All his savings were gone.Every last bit of it.What had once felt like a harmless gamble had turned into something far more dangerous, something that was now closing in on him with every passing second.He thought if the Carvendish family were to secure the investment, he could take a huge sum of money from that, but every
POWER OVER EMOTION
"Explain to me what exactly happened in that celebration event? Didn't you tell me Carvendish family got the investment already? Then how exactly did it go to Scarlett?" Christopher's voice was calm, yet it carried a weight that pressed down on the entire room, his gaze fixed on Jenny as he stood near the tall windows of the Caspian villa, his posture straight, his presence cold and composed. "How on earth Ethan... The abandoned boy got married to Scarlett and with what influence did Scarlett get the investment we all wanted? What exactly is happening here Jenny?" Jenny stood a few steps away, her fingers curling slightly as she met his gaze, though there was a flicker of hesitation in her eyes before she spoke."There’s nothing complicated, dad, it's pure luck," she said, trying to keep her tone steady. "He accidentally saved an old man and that old man turned out to be the investor we all are looking for.""So?"Jenny explained everything about the investor mistaking about Ethan b
MORE LIKE A COMPLIMENT
"Why is there nothing about this…?" Ethan muttered under his breath, his gaze fixed on the screen in front of him, while his brows slightly furrowed as he scrolled through page after page, yet finding nothing that made sense.The symbol engraved on the dragon ring reflected faintly under the light, resting silently on his finger as if it carried secrets that refused to be revealed so easily."This old man and his cryptic things...." Ethan sighed scrolling through the screen, "why doesn't anyone like to keep my life simple? Why should things in my life always get complicated and messy?" For the past few hours, he has gone through a lot of Ancient artifacts, rare family heirlooms, hidden organizations, he had searched through almost everything he could access, yet every result either led to nothing or contradicted the previous one, as if the existence of the ring itself was something that had been deliberately erased."Strange…" he murmured softly, leaning back slightly, his fingers ta
