MASK OF A SAINT
"State of mind?" Sally rolled her eyes, "That guy has lost his mind long ago..... He is nothing but someone who is supposed to live in mental asylum!" Charlie shook his head with a sad look in his eyes, as if he can't hear bad things about Ethan, "don't say that sister, it's not completely intentional from him, he is just hurt, and behaving like that!""You don't have to be kind towards an idiot like him Charlie, he doesn't deserve it," Hailey gently held Charlie's hand."I can't give up on my brother mom, no matter what, he is my older brother, it's just, the broken engagement must have affected him more deeply than we realized," Charlie continued quietly. "I know he is just upset that he was sent to prison in my place, now that his engagement was also broken, he must be clearly angry, that's why he opted for the wrong direction to get back at us! I know it's all my fault, if not because of me...." Sally sighed dramatically."Come on Charlie, there's no way it is your fault," she m
THE ONLY HEIR
"What do you mean by that?" Jerome asked with a frown, clearly confused by Charlie’s earlier warning.The car moved steadily through the quiet night streets, the lights of the city sliding across the dark windows as the tension inside the vehicle lingered in silence.Charlie turned his head slowly toward Jerome. His expression remained calm and thoughtful in a way that immediately made the older man pay attention."Dad," Charlie said gently, "right now, brother is clearly angry with our family." Jerome’s brows knit together slightly.Charlie continued in the same careful tone, speaking as if he were simply voicing a concern that had been weighing on him."After everything that happened tonight, do you really think he would reconcile with us that easily and help our family the moment we ask?" he asked quietly, planting a seed of doubt in Jerome’s mind. Jerome did not answer as the question forced him into thought.Charlie lowered his gaze slightly before continuing, his voice soft wi
ESCORTED OUT IN SILENCE
"I believe the celebration has already lasted long enough for people who are no longer welcome here."Scarlett’s voice was not loud when she spoke those words, yet the quiet authority behind them spread across the hall more effectively than any raised command ever could. Conversations that had already softened after the confrontation fell completely silent as dozens of eyes fixed toward her, because everyone present understood that the tone she had just used was not a suggestion.Scarlett did not even look toward the Carvendish family when she finished speaking. She merely lifted her gaze slightly toward the guards stationed near the walls, and the reaction was immediate enough to make several guests shift uneasily where they stood.The guards moved.They did not ask questions, they did not hesitate, and they certainly did not look toward anyone else in the room for confirmation, because Scarlett Caspian had not given them an order that required clarification.They had simply unders
A CHOICE MADE IN FRONT OF EVERYONE
"You've been telling me to stop embarrassing myself," Ethan said, "maybe it's time for you to stop embarrassing yourself in front of everyone!"The words landed with quiet precision, and for the first time since she had walked across the hall, Jenny realized that the people surrounding them were no longer watching Ethan.They were watching her.Sally was about to speak, but Jerome stopped her, signaling her not to make a scene since they had already become a laughingstock and he did not want any further embarrassment.Scarlett rubbed her temple briefly before speaking, her voice calm and unhurried. "For your information, the engagement you are referring to between you and Ethan ended some time ago. The annulment papers were sent to the Caspian residence, and your father has already signed them."Jenny did not know when any of this had happened, because no one had informed her.Scarlett said calmly, "Right now your fiancé is Charlie Carvendish, not Ethan, and the man you should concern
THE BEGINNING OF A NEW GAME
"You're right, Aunt," Jenny let out a short laugh that sounded more brittle than amused.Her gaze moved toward Ethan. "He was my ex-fiancé." A brief pause followed."And he was also the man who went to prison because of a criminal case."Several guests shifted uneasily, but Ethan remained completely still, unbothered by what others thought of him, having long since grown accustomed to those looks and whispers.Jenny’s smile sharpened."Tell me, Ethan," she added softly, "does your new fiancée know what kind of man she is about to marry?" Scarlett did not react immediately.Instead she looked at Jenny with the same calm expression she had maintained throughout the confrontation."Yes," she said simply, and the quiet answer spread through the hall faster than any raised voice could have.Her gaze shifted briefly toward Ethan before returning to her niece. "I know exactly what kind of man he is."After a small pause, she added calmly, "That is precisely why I agreed to marry him." A m
THAT WAS BRUTAL!
"Forgive me, Aunt," Jenny said with a composed smile that did not quite reach her eyes, "but I believe there must be some misunderstanding."Her voice was not loud, but the hall had fallen quiet enough that the words traveled easily through the surrounding crowd."Really?" Scarlett raised an eyebrow and tilted her head slightly as if she were genuinely curious, though the sharpness in her eyes betrayed her intention."I must admit," Jenny continued smoothly, "I did not expect you to announce an engagement tonight… especially not with someone who was promised to me." The words hung in the air for a moment before she continued, her gaze flicking briefly toward Ethan."Ethan belongs to me," she said with quiet certainty. "He has always belonged to me, and whatever this arrangement is, he clearly had no choice in it."The silence that followed was immediate.Scarlett looked at Jenny without responding right away.Her expression remained calm as she studied the niece standing in front of
