The outrage blazing in Asher’s eyes made Juliet pause, her lips curling into a fleeting smirk as she mistook his fury for alignment with her twisted narrative.

She stood taller, her confidence swelling like a tide, ready to drive the final nail into Janine’s reputation.

Janine, meanwhile, stood frozen in place, tears streaming silently down her cheeks. She clutched her hands tightly, trying to keep herself grounded as her sister’s venomous words reverberated in her mind.

The truth was as clear as day to her—she loved and respected Asher only as her brother-in-law. She had never sought to undermine Juliet, but her sister had always found ways to tear her down.

Asher took a step forward, his imposing frame towering over Juliet, the room suddenly feeling smaller under the weight of his presence.

His voice, low and sharp, cut through the tension like a blade. “Juliet, what exactly are you trying to accomplish here?”

Juliet’s smirk widened, emboldened by what she assumed was his anger t

    Juliet smirked as she turned, mistaking Asher’s commanding voice for hesitation or reconsideration. Her confidence returned in an instant and her arrogance almost unbearable as she met his gaze. “I knew it,” she said with a mocking laugh. “You’re all bark, Asher. You’ve always been soft when it mattered. What is it? Changed your mind?”But Asher’s expression remained cold and unyielding, and with a dismissive wave of his hand, he silenced her gloating. “Don’t flatter yourself, Juliet,” he said, his voice calm but with an hidden strength. “You seem to always make yourself feel too important.”Juliet’s smug grin faltered, confusion flashing in her eyes. “What do you mean?” she asked, her voice losing its edge.“Don't you think you're forgetting something?” Asher replied, his tone razor-sharp.Juliet tilted her head, her confusion deepening. “Forgetting? What could I possibly be forgetting?”Asher stepped closer, his presence dominating the space. “You owe Janine an apology,” he said

"Is this where you’ve been hiding? In the arms of another man while my mother lies sick at home, wondering where you are?"Janine blinked, startled, and took a cautious step forward. "Klaus, what are you—"“Don’t,” he barked, cutting her off with a raised hand. “Don’t you dare act clueless, Janine. My father needs meals prepared, my mother needs care, and what are you doing? Playing the victim here, crying on some other man’s shoulder while my family suffers?”Everyone fell into stunned silence as Klaus’s voice echoed off the walls. Janine’s cheeks flushed with humiliation, her lips trembled as she tried to find words to defend herself.“Klaus,” she managed, her voice shaking, “I’ve been tryin

Don’t ruin him. Please, don’t let him suffer for my mistakes.” Her voice cracked, and tears threatened to spill over as she clutched his arm, her desperation evident.Asher’s eyes softened for a moment with a hint of understanding as he looked at her. But his voice stayed firm, with a sharp edge.“You think I don’t know what he deserves? You think I want to see you hurt by him again?” His words were heavy, filled with things he wasn’t saying out loud.Klaus, trying to pull himself together, frowned as he turned to face Asher again. His pride was bruised, but he wasn’t ready to give up.He couldn’t stand the idea of being shown up by someone like Asher. The te

He wanted to tear her down completely, to remind her of her worthlessness, her place beneath him."You think you can fool everyone, don't you, Janine?" Klaus sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. "You think you’re some kind of talented musician, some prodigy? Ha!" His laugh was harsh, mocking, and echoed off the walls. "You’re nothing more than a joke, just like all the other women who play their little violins for men in Drakemont."As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Asher, his eyes burning with a twisted sense of superiority. "In Drakemont, only men have the honor of being respected musicians," he spat. "The women who think they can play, they end up in the brothels, don’t they? Striking their guitars while their bodies are sold for c

I have to admit, I’ve missed watching you rattle cages. This should be fun.”Without waiting

    Julian leaned in, his voice a low, venomous whisper as he began to lay out his plan.“Here’s how it begins, Juliet,” he murmured, his breath brushing against her ear. “At the anniversary celebration, all eyes will be on Asher. He thinks this is his stage, his moment of triumph. But we…” his voice grew darker, “we’ll turn it into his downfall.”He paused, letting the words settle before continuing. “My father and the Left Chancellor had a private meeting last week,” Julian added, his tone laced with intrigue. “I overheard enough to know they’ve decided it’s time to deal with Asher. The 100th anniversary? It’s more than just a celebration. It’s the stage for their plan.”Juliet’s eyes widened, and a sly grin spread across her face. The thought of powerful figures plotting Asher’s ruin filled her with newfound confidence. “So, they’re finally going to do it?” she asked, her voice tinged with eager anticipation.Julian nodded, his expression unreadable. “They haven’t shared the details

She stepped closer, her tone dripping with mockery.“Oh, I see,” Alesha drawled, folding her arms. “You’re scared. Admit it, Janine. You know you can’t compete with me anymore.""That’s why you’ve been hiding all these years. You’re afraid your voice can’t live up to your precious reputation.”Janine flinched inwardly but maintained her composure.“Think whatever you want,” she replied. “I’m not here to indulge your insecurities.”Alesha’s smirk faltered briefly, but she quickly recovered. Turning to the gathered crowd, she raised her voice theatrically.“Ladies and gentlemen! The so-called talent of Drakmont doesn’t want to perform because she’s afraid of losing to me.”Her words sent murmur

Asher walked with calm assurance, occasionally speaking to her in quiet tones, offering support, though his focus never wavered.But then, Asher’s attention shifted, his sharp ears picking up fragments of a nearby conversation, pulling his focus away from Janine. His instincts kicked in, and he paused for a moment, as though sensing something was amiss.As Asher’s steps slowed, his attention shifted to a group of men standing nearby.

    Janine’s gaze lifted to meet Asher’s, her expression caught between disbelief and confusion. “A name so bright?” she murmured, her voice barely audible. For a moment, Janine let herself imagine what it would feel like, what it might mean to be seen, cared for, and untouchable. But just as quickly, she snapped herself back into reality, her walls locking firmly in place.“Don’t bother, Asher,” she said, her voice shaking with frustration and resignation. “I told you, I don’t have it in me anymore. This… all of this… it’s just too much.”Asher didn’t flinch, his face was calm but determined.“I’ve heard those words before,” he said, his voice steady as he stepped closer. “From soldiers who thought they couldn’t take one more step, fight one more battle. You know what I told them?”Janine shook her head, unsure whether she wanted to hear the answer.“I told them that greatness isn’t born in comfort,” he said, his voice low and steady, like the calm before a storm. “It’s forged in fir

But the words were hollow, filled with panic, not remorse.His eyes darted frantically to Asher and Morgana, silently begging them to intervene, but neither moved a muscle. He was trapped.Janine stopped just a step away, her breathing uneven as pain and anger sparked in her eyes.“Klaus,” she said, her voice low but steady, carrying the weight of all she had endured, “you called me weak. You called me worthless. But you know what weakness really is?”Before he could respond, she slapped him. The sound cracked like thunder. Klaus staggered slightly, his head snapped to the side and his cheek glowed red.The crowd held their breath, stunned by the raw power of the moment.

This is just your way of destroying me, everything I’ve worked for!”Asher stood firm, unfazed by Klaus’s outburst. His calm, steady gaze never left Klaus, his face unreadable, but his presence alone was commanding and powerful.When he finally spoke, his voice was calm, deliberate, and far more menacing than Klaus’s frantic shouting.“Morgana,” Asher said, his tone carrying the weight of command, “bring the DNA results.”The crowd gasped, whispers quickly spreading, each one adding to the growing tension in the room.Morgana, standing at the edge of the crowd, stepped forward and handed Asher a sealed envelope. Her face was emotionless.Klaus’s fury shifted to panic as he watched Asher take the envelope.“This is insane!” Klaus yelled, his voice shaking. “What kind of man meddles in other people’s lives like this?"“You t

Asher stopped at the door, his presence making everyone hold their breath. The room was completely silent except for the quiet murmurs spreading through the crowd. Asher’s eyes locked on Klaus, who now looked pale. He turned to the crowd and spoke, his voice cutting through the tension.“Since we’re all sharing truths, here’s one more for you,” Asher said, each word clear and strong, like a punch to the gut.“The man who calls himself Klaus Masterson is a fraud. He’s not even a true Masterson. His blood doesn’t run in this family.”The room erupted in shock. People gasped and whispered.

Her face was pale, and her shoulders shook as if the weight of everything that had happened was too much to bear.“Janine,” Asher said, his voice calmer now but firm. “Come here.”She hesitated, glancing between Klaus, who looked weak and defeated, and Asher, whose strong and protective presence felt almost too much to handle. Still, she didn’t move.Her eyes fell to the shredded remains of her dress lying on the floor, a painful reminder of everything Klaus had taken from her—her pride, her dreams, and her confidence.Asher took a step closer, still gripping Klaus by the collar.“Janine,” he said again, his voice steadier now, breaking through her haze of despair.“I know you’re tired. I know it feels like everything’s falling apart. But this

Her blurry vision cleared, and her breath hitched when she saw Asher standing before her.His strong arms still supported her, but his gaze was unlike anything she’d ever seen before, cold, intense, and burning with fury.“Asher…” she whispered, her voice cracking, unable to say more.Asher’s jaw tightened. He straightened her on her feet but didn’t let go, his piercing eyes locking onto hers. “Janine,” he began, his voice low but laced with anger.“why are you here? Why are you letting yourself suffer this from him?” His words were sharp, almost accusatory, as if her tears alone were unacceptable to him.Janine opened her mouth to respond, but no words came out, just a fresh wave of tears. She shook her head, sobs choking her.The crowd, silent, watched the exchange, their earlier shock replaced by curiosity and sympathy.Asher’s grip on her arms softened, but his frustration only grew.

But Klaus, towering with rage, snatched the dress away, holding it high above her reach.“You think you can defy me, Janine?” he sneered, his voice cold and venomous. “You think you can humiliate me and still get your little fairytale ending? Not on my watch.”“Klaus, stop this madness!” Robert shouted from behind, his voice breaking with desperation. “This isn’t just about her, it’s about the man you’ve become!”But Klaus paid no heed, his eyes fixed solely on Janine. He grabbed her roughly by her hair, his grip like iron, and dragged her toward the front of the estate.“If you’re so keen on putting on a show, let’s make it a public one!”His grip tightened on her hair as he dragged her towards the estate’s front steps.Her cries of pain echoed but Klaus seemed deaf to them, his face twisted in a gruesom

"You saved this family, Klaus," Robert began, his tone quiet but steady, "I won’t deny that. But that doesn’t make you a hero. "It just makes you someone who did what needed to be done. What we all should have done together. You acted alone, and you acted like you were doing us a favor."Klaus’s face twisted with anger, his fists clenching at his sides. "What the hell do you know about favors, old man?" His words spat out like venom. "Do you think I wanted to do this alone? You think I enjoyed watching this family crumble while you hid behind your excuses and your sick wife?"Robert took a step forward, his eyes filled with pain. "No, Klaus.
