Alea smiled faintly, showing her natural courage. She was indeed a bit chatty and quite bold in her interactions with Ava. Perhaps it was because she had grown accustomed to facing various difficult situations, which made her feel comfortable even in tense circumstances.

The adrenaline flowing through her seemed to give her extra strength, making her unafraid of the consequences of her bravery.

“Ma’am, just relax!” Alea said with a smile, trying to create a more relaxed atmosphere.

Ava nodded, offering a slight smile in response. Although doubt still haunted her, Alea's smile provided a bit of calm. She could sense that behind Alea's courage was a sincere intention to help.

Alea began to share more.

“I know a lot about Sophia and her situation. She’s caught in a game that’s bigger than she can imagine. There are parties taking advantage of her weaknesses, and I want to make sure she’s not alone in facing this.”

    "Is this how you thank me?"Ava slammed the thick file onto the glass table, her fingers trembling from exhaustion and disbelief. The digital clock on the wall read 2:37 AM, its dull blue light illuminating the dimly lit room. Her back ached, her eyes burned, but she had pushed through—because she thought she was doing this for them. For their marriage.But the moment she looked at the man standing across from her, she knew.Logan wasn’t grateful. He wasn’t relieved. He wasn’t even looking at the damn contract she had spent the last three weeks perfecting for him.Instead, his gaze was cold. Indifferent. Like she was nothing more than an inconvenience.He exhaled slowly, then slid a white envelope across the table. "You should sit down for this," he said, his voice too calm for what he was about to do.She didn’t sit.Her fingers hesitated before picking up the envelope. The weight of it felt wrong.Then she pulled out the papers.The moment Ava saw the word "DIVORCE" printed in bold

    "This is a joke, right?"Ava's voice trembled under the weight of disbelief. The cheap hotel room smelled of stale cigarettes and cleaning chemicals, the flickering neon sign outside casting an eerie red glow over the divorce papers in front of her.Her fingers tightened around the edge of the document. "Irreconcilable differences." That’s how he had reduced their years together—two cold, detached words that felt like daggers piercing her heart.Her phone buzzed on the nightstand. She glanced at the screen. No new messages. No apologies. No explanations. Nothing.“How did it come to this?” she whispered to the empty room, her voice echoing back at her, mocking her solitude.She had believed in him.She remembered their first tiny apartment—the peeling wallpaper, the broken heater, the way she used to wake up shivering in winter because the blankets were too thin. But none of it had mattered because they had love. Or at least, she had thought so.Ava had dreams, and she had believed in

    "Well, well, look who decided to show up."Ava barely had time to steady herself before that smug, insufferable voice slithered into her ears like a snake, evoking memories she desperately wanted to forget. She turned, her stomach twisting at the sight of Logan Prescott, her ex-husband, standing near the entrance of the conference room. His familiar arrogance radiated off him, and right beside him, looking effortlessly poised and pleased with herself, was Sophia Ellis—the woman he had left her for.Sophia’s red lips curled into a smirk. "I didn’t think you’d actually come. Must be hard, seeing all of this and knowing it’s no longer yours."Ava exhaled slowly, steadying her breathing. She had prepared herself for this meeting, knowing she would have to face Logan at some point, but she hadn’t expected him to bring her. How typical, she thought, to flaunt the new trophy right in front of her.Logan adjusted his tie, his eyes flicking over her like she was nothing more than an inconveni

    "This is insane."Ava paced back and forth, gripping the edges of the contract in her hands. The words blurred together, but the meaning was clear: a legally binding agreement. A marriage in name, but something far more complicated underneath. The weight of the decision pressed heavily on her shoulders, and the air crackled with tension.Alexander sat across from her, perfectly composed. His dark hair was neatly styled, and his tailored suit accentuated his lean frame. "It’s practical.""It’s absurd." She spun around, her heartbeat hammering against her ribs. "I don’t even know you."He didn’t blink, his expression betraying nothing. "You know enough."Ava exhaled sharply, frustration boiling within her. "Why me?""Because I need someone who understands how this world works. Someone who knows what it means to sacrifice. And you need a fresh start."Her laughter was short and bitter. "Oh, so this is charity?"Alexander’s expression didn’t change. "This is an opportunity."She stared at

    "You expect me to walk into that gala and pretend I belong?"Ava folded her arms, staring at Alexander with barely concealed skepticism. The flickering lights of the penthouse cast soft shadows across the room, yet all she felt was the weight of uncertainty.He barely looked up from his cufflinks, adjusting them with meticulous precision. "You do belong."She let out a short, bitter laugh, the sound tinged with disbelief. "I was a nobody a few weeks ago. Now I’m supposed to stand next to you, smile for the cameras, and act like I’ve been part of this world my entire life?"Alexander finally met her gaze, his expression unreadable yet intense. "You need to stop seeing yourself as an outsider."Her jaw tightened. "And if I can’t?"He took a step closer, the air between them charged with undeniable tension. "Then I’ll make them see you the way I do."Her stomach twisted at the implication. He always spoke like that—statements laced with quiet authority, as if his words alone could bend r

    Ava looked increasingly hesitant to respond to Logan. But her new husband, Alexander, continued to support her fully. His goal was to ensure Ava remained confident and able to stand her ground without dealing with Logan again. Alexander was very protective of Ava’s dignity now. He disliked it when Ava became the target of mockery from Logan and Sophia. Yet, on the other hand, Ava still struggled to control herself. Recently, this was what worried Alexander the most about Ava.In this situation, it seemed Ava was caught between two worlds: the support of her husband, Alexander, and the negative influence of Logan and Sophia.

    “Is that true?” Alexander asked, leaning his face closer to Ava’s, almost touching. Ava jumped, startled, and her daydream shattered. It was as if Alexander knew that by using that nickname, he could make Ava feel at ease. Clearly, Ava felt lost in an atmosphere that was light and free. The childhood nickname was still pure, untouched by scars and wounds. But now, that name was spoken in such a tense situation. On one hand, Ava felt resistant, but on the other, she felt comforted.Ava felt her emotions reaching a peak. “You’re lying, right? You said I mentioned that name once? Who are you really?” she pressed, starting to rebel against Alexander and suspecting him. The suspicion and uncertainty made her lose control, and she couldn’t hold back the questions swirling in her mind.“Wait a minute, Eve! Why are you—” Alexander began, but his words were cut off by Ava’s rising frustration.“Enough! Stop calling me that!” Ava said, her voice rising. Ava felt that name was now a remind

She knew time was precious, and they needed to act quickly before the situation became more complicated.“Continue, Alea!” Ava said after silencing Noel. “Alright, Mrs. Ava,” Alea replied, nodding her head.Alea took a piece of snack and chewed it before continuing. “So, I believe Logan is trapped in a trap set by a group of people through Sophia,” she said with a serious expression.
