Giselle was startled when her hand was grabbed by an unfamiliar man, though from his words, it was clear he was defending Athena.“Why are you being so rude to Athena? Who are you?” Sargas asked, pretending not to recognize the woman.There were few people who didn’t know Giselle. She had been introduced, albeit unofficially, as the heir to the Willowspot Corporation and was also widely recognized as the partner of the CEO of Cardellion.Giselle yanked her hand free from Sargas and looked at him with disdain. “Who are you, and what business is this of yours?”Sargas, who had kept his identity hidden, was not easily recognizable. “Pardon me, but you’ve been bothering my fiancée,” he replied calmly.Giselle stared at Sargas, scrutinizing him from head to toe. She could tell from his appearance and the luxury items he wore that this man wasn’t ordinary.“Oh, so this is the man you managed to seduce, Athena? How utterly pathetic!” Giselle folded her arms. “Hey, sir, do you know the kind o

“NEXT WEEK?!” Athena was shocked when she heard the news from her mother. “Mom, isn’t this too sudden? I mean… this will take a lot of people by surprise.”Ruby placed a reassuring hand on her daughter’s shoulder. “Are you having second thoughts about your relationship with Sargas? I can talk to your father if that’s the case.”Athena shook her head. “I do want to marry Sargas, but I’m worried about how people will react. I’m afraid it might tarnish the family’s reputation, Mom.”Ruby embraced her daughter warmly. She understood Athena’s concerns—being a member of the Gilgareth family came with heavy burdens and responsibilities. But Ren and Ruby had never once seen Athena’s status as an issue.“We won’t let that happen to you, sweetheart. Anyone who dares to demean you will have to deal with us,” Ruby assured her firmly.Athena still couldn’t believe how cherished she was by the Gilgareth family. All the pain she had endured in the past seemed to fade away in their care.She no longe

"Noah, where did you learn those words from?" Athena asked."I saw my friends, they have fathers and also siblings. So if Uncle Sargas becomes my dad, I’ll have a sibling too, right?"Athena smiled, trying to offer the best understanding she could. "Sweetheart, what if... I don’t need to marry, but you can still have a sibling?""Uh, how does that work? Are you going to make a sibling from dough?" Noah asked, moving his hands as if mixing something, making Athena laugh.She didn’t immediately respond. Instead, she took a plate and put some roasted chicken and fried potatoes on it. "Eat, and after that, go study. You probably have a lot of homework, don’t you?"Noah nodded quickly, instantly forgetting the main topic because his stomach was hungry. Ren, Ruby, and Sargas arrived at the dining table, and they had dinner without discussing marriage any further.Noah’s request about marriage seemed to be forgotten as they ate in silence. They only spoke again after the meal was finished."

Athena was furious when she found out that the culprit was one of Merrya’s messengers—Glenn’s mother. She begged her father to report the incident to the police, but Ren explained that it wasn’t that simple."The most important thing is Noah's safety. If we report Merrya to the police, it could become very dangerous because they might accuse you of separating your child from Glenn," Ren advised.Athena was taken aback, realizing that since Noah was Glenn’s biological child, the Cardelion family could use that fact to attack her. She placed her hand on her chest, trying to calm herself."What should I do, Father? I’m afraid they won’t give up trying to kidnap Noah again."Ren patted his daughter’s shoulder and spoke seriously."You’re taking two days off, aren’t you? Tomorrow, I’ll handle the meeting with the Cardelion management, and I’ll ensure that the day after, when you and Sargas arrive at the company, you’ll meet him."Athena trembled, unsure if she was ready to meet Glenn again

Upon hearing the alarming news, Athena and Sargas rushed home, abandoning the inn where they had planned to spend two days together. That evening, the sound of Noah's cries filled the house, stirring guilt in Athena's heart.“Mom!” Noah screamed.Athena immediately embraced her son, soothing his pitiful sobs. “I’m so sorry, sweetheart,” she said, her voice full of regret.“Mommy, those people came and tried to hurt me,” Noah sobbed, his face pale.Athena and Sargas turned to Prilly in unison. “Who was responsible for watching Noah at school today?” Sargas demanded.“Two of Mr. Ren’s assigned bodyguards were in an accident on their way, and I arrived late because of traffic. I deeply apologize for everything, Mr. Sargas,” Prilly said, tears welling up in her eyes.“The teacher supervising Noah said a man tried to force Noah to leave with him, but the school security quickly intervened…”“I’ve checked the CCTV footage from the school, and it appears the man is a stranger—I’ve never seen

Sargas was instantly startled by Athena's words. “You’re joking, right? You’re not seriously considering marrying Glenn, are you?” His face showed disappointment, prompting Serena to laugh at him.“Hey, why are you so scared, Sargas? Have you forgotten what I planned before?” Athena tried to remind him, but it seemed Sargas had truly forgotten.Athena refreshed Sargas's memory about the plan she had shared a few days ago. “You must not pay attention when I speak. I’ve already told you that I’ll flirt with Glenn again.”Sargas realized how often he overlooked things because talking to Athena always drew his focus to her beauty.“I’ll seduce him, and when he starts hoping again, I’ll abandon him. At that moment, I’ll need your help to ensure Glenn is completely defeated,” Athena explained.Sargas sighed and pulled Athena into his embrace. “I almost went mad thinking you might forgive and marry Glenn, Athena.”“That will never happen, Sargas. Even with Noah involved in our past, I will n

Taylor's body trembled intensely as he slowly uncovered the blanket that covered the figure of the person they referred to as Miley. Meanwhile, Nania stood in a corner near the door, too afraid to approach due to fear.The white blanket slowly revealed the frozen and pale figure of the woman behind it. "Miley..." Taylor uttered, his voice hoarse and trembling, his heart pounding heavily. Hearing this, Nania burst into uncontrollable tears.Taylor couldn't be mistaken; he had known Miley Patricia for years, and they had been intimate multiple times. There was not a single part of Miley's body unknown to Taylor or Nania."Miley... you—" Taylor couldn't continue his words; his legs felt weak, and he stepped back slowly. Something shattered in his heart when the lie he had called out suddenly became a terrifying reality for him and Nania.The police and doctors stated that Miley had died about six hours ago, and there were no signs of torture on her body. Miley seemed to have drowned in t

The medicine given by Dr. Hendry apparently succeeded in making Kaleya sleep for quite a while. As the time approached eleven at night, the young pregnant girl had just opened her eyes."Oh my goodness!" exclaimed Carista. Her head turned here and there, and she could only breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Silvana sitting on the sofa, reading a book."Are you awake?" Silvana placed the book down and picked up a cane. She walked slowly and sat on the edge of the bed."You haven't had dinner yet. Shall I take you to the dining room or fetch some food for you?" Carista shook her head. "I'd better go home, ma'am. I apologize for troubling you.""Hey, what are you talking about?! Helping fellow humans is a duty, and what I'm doing right now is because I want to help you.""But, ma'am, it's already too late. I have to go home because I have to work again tomorrow," Carista replied."Alright, I'll call Hendry and check on you before you leave." Silvana reached for the intercom phone and

In the CCTV footage, a man dressed entirely in black is clearly visible, wearing a hat and a mask covering part of his face. He walks into the treatment room and never exits, prompting doctors and several nurses to rush to the room when the alarm sounds.There are no traces or distinctive features that can describe the figure. Even the recording stops right when Angela's stretcher is moved to the morgue."Darn it!" Elgar exclaims in frustration, losing the trail. The man checks if there are any other recordings, including one from the day after Angela's death. However, there are no signs that anyone came to inspect the woman's body except Elgar's subordinates, who intended to proceed with the cremation and collect her ashes."Forgive me, Angela. That's all I can do for you. I lost track of your child, and I just found out that she died one day after your death," Elgar mutters.Elgar grabs his phone; he wants to contact the person who informed him about Carista's death. However, the pe

Carista's heart pounded heavily; she had never seen Taylor behave as wildly as tonight. Thirty minutes ago, before Taylor left, the man passionately kissed Carista's lips.He also tried to undress her and almost pushed her onto the bed. If only Carista hadn't resisted and escaped from her room, Taylor might have done things Carista had never imagined before."Taylor and all his insane remarks, I can't imagine if he dared to be disrespectful to me.""Doesn't he know that I still can't forget Elgar's treatment towards me? But why does he now want to harass me? Doesn't Taylor consider me his friend anymore? Is he obsessed with me like Elgar?"Carista's stomach suddenly felt uncomfortable; she hugged herself, trying to calm down. "Sorry, dear. Forgive me...," Carista murmured to the fetus in her stomach. "Please endure for a while; I won't do anything harmful to you, my child."***Elgar returned to Rivermoon, desperate after learning the news of Carista's death. Some photos and videos se

Instead of dwelling on Taylor's words, the pregnant woman instead forgets them and begins to get ready for work. She has already finished the breakfast prepared by Taylor, her bag and shoes neatly in place, and her long, beautiful hair left untangled."You're really enthusiastic," says Taylor."Of course, it's my first day, and I'm very excited today."Taylor locks the door and guides her friend into the car. "Are you ready? Remember what I told you, okay?"Carista nods. According to the plan they made long ago, Carista now prefers the new identity she will use at her workplace.Upon reaching the burger restaurant, Carista bids farewell to Taylor, promising to contact her after finishing work. She enters the restaurant, immediately greeted by a manager who invites her to sit in one of the customer seats."Are you Miss Samara Fox?" asks Leo, the manager."Yes, I'm Samara. I've been living in this town for a few weeks.""Ah, okay. Our boss has been waiting for you, and you can start wor

Carista never knew; she was never aware that the man who had been her friend, now living under the same roof, was a man with an extraordinary obsession for her. Taylor observed the peaceful face of Carista as she slept soundly on the couch. The man had just arrived in Aberfey and felt relieved knowing that the chocolate envelope given by Nania was still intact in the room."I thought you would act rudely; I forgot you're not the kind of woman who does as she pleases," Taylor muttered, then opened the chocolate envelope.A week ago, Nania informed Taylor that Elgar was currently looking for Carista in Aberfey. Therefore, today Nania promptly sent a report on the search for the man's personal data."Elgar Gabriel... you hold quite an important position in your company. You came to meet Angela without any intention of getting close to Carista, but in the end, you were tempted and impregnated her."Taylor felt irritated; deep down, he wanted to make Carista lose her baby.
