Chapter 37
Anna let out another sigh this time longer. She lowered her head for a moment, her hands clenched tightly on her lap before she lifted her gaze back to him.The narration slipped quietly into her thoughts. She didn’t even know why she had waited last night. Didn’t know why, when she saw Tyson unconscious from a high fever three days ago, her heart had pounded too fast and her body had moved before her mind could think.She hadn’t weighed the risks. She hadn’t analyzed. She simply didn’t care. As if something inside her, something stubborn and irrational, had pushed her to protect that man.But Tyson didn’t know that. He didn’t need to know.“My kindness isn’t for you,” she said finally, her voice low but sharp. “It’s because you’ve already dragged me into this.”Her gaze locked with his, unwavering and defiant, but beneath it lingered a faint trace of unease.“And since I’ve been involved from the start,” she continued, her tone firm, “I might as well stay involved until the end.”Ann
Chapter 36
Tyson opened the door to his apartment and glanced briefly at Anna.“Come in,” he said quietly, almost without inflection.Anna stepped inside carefully. The room was silent and spotless, just as she remembered it three days ago, a place more suited for existing than living.There were no photos, no personal items besides a few books and electronic devices neatly arranged on the desk.Tyson walked straight to the kitchen without looking back.“Sit down,” he said, his tone carrying the weight of a habit he’d spoken many times, even though it was clear he’d never really had guests.Anna took a seat at the dining table. Her gaze followed Tyson’s every move, the way he opened the fridge, took out ingredients, and washed his hands. His movements were calm, efficient, but strangely… attentive.The soft sound of a knife tapping against the cutting board filled the air, vegetables being sliced thinly one after another, and soon the faint aroma of sautéed food began to replace the heavy silenc

“So... what’s your role now?” Tyson’s voice was quiet, but sharp enough to slice through the silence. “Did you come here to make sure I don’t die in this room? So tomorrow morning you can say you tried to help me?”Kaylee stared at him, startled. “I didn’t mean it that way.”Tyson let out a small, humorless laugh. “No need to lie, Kaylee. I’m used to it.”He lowered his gaze slightly, looking at his trembling hands resting on his knees. “I used to think you were different from them. But it turns out you just learned how to hurt people in a softer way.”For a moment, there was no sound.Kaylee stood frozen, her face paling. Maybe for the first time in a long while, she didn’t have words to make herself look kind.Then, with a deep breath, she whispered, “I... I just wanted to help.”Tyson lifted his head, meeting her eyes directly. “If you really wanted to help,” he said coldly, “you should’ve done it when I still had hope left for anyone in that house.”His voice was flat, but fill
Chapter 34
The two guards gripped Tyson’s arms roughly, dragging him slightly as they led him away. No one spoke. Tyson didn’t resist. His steps were heavy, his gaze empty as if his mind had already left his body.The iron door at the end of the hall creaked open, the sound of grinding metal scraping through the silence. Beyond it, the room greeted him with a wave of cold, damp air.A faint yellow light spilled from an old ceiling lamp, its flicker reflecting weakly on the fractured stone walls.There were no windows, only the single door behind them, which closed with a metallic clang, cutting off the last trace of light from outside.One of the guards shoved his shoulder, while the other kept a firm grip on his arm.“Kneel,” one of them said curtly.Tyson didn’t move not because he was defying them, but because his body felt rigid, numb.The two guards exchanged glances, then forced him down. A hand pressed on his shoulder, another on the back of his knee, pushing him until he fell to the col
Chapter 33
Mateo glared at Tyson, his breathing heavy, but what truly made his blood boil wasn’t the words that came out of Tyson’s mouth, it was his expression.Calm. Flat. Not a trace of fear.Once, that boy would always lower his head, silent like a shadow afraid of the light. The moment Mateo raised his voice, Tyson would bow immediately, apologizing even for things that weren’t his fault. And now, that same person stood before him without the slightest hint of submission, as if all the power Mateo once had over him meant absolutely nothing anymore.“Honest?” Mateo repeated, his tone low, a venomous whisper. “You don’t even know what that word means.”His steps were heavy as he moved closer, stopping just inches away from Tyson.“You talk as if you have the right to. As if you still deserve to be here.”Tyson looked at him blankly, as though he couldn’t understand what exactly was making the older man so furious.“I’m not talking about what’s deserved,” he said evenly. “I’m just saying what
Chapter 32
The grand staircase of the De Leon villa looked more magnificent than he remembered. Crystal chandeliers glittered overhead, scattering light in every direction, making the shadows on the walls resemble fragments of false faces.Each step he took echoed softly against the marble floor, polished to a sterile perfection.The moment he appeared in the great hall, the guests’ conversations fell silent.The guests, family business partners, his father’s old friends, a few prominent names who had come to savor the De Leon family drama, greeted him with smiles brimming with curiosity.Some looked at him politely; others, as though assessing his worth.Mateo De Leon stood at the center of the hall, tall and authoritative in his black suit. To his right stood Martin, wearing a confident smile and a calculating gaze, while Kaylee, on his left, looked elegant in her emerald dress.The three of them looked like a perfect family portrait, and Tyson, walking toward them, was the faint stain that so
