Alesya was taken aback. Her blood raced. She saw the folder containing the certificate for her house.

"Bryan used it as collateral for a debt to me."

"Collateral?" Alesya chuckled. "You, lending money to Bryan? Aren't you mistaken, Dev? Do you think I'm stupid and don't know how much wealth and income you have?"

"True, but you have to remember who Silvi is. I married her not out of revenge for your and Bryan's marriage, but as a way for me to get a lot of money to pay off your debt."

"No way." Alesya stepped back. Devin, who was starting to walk towards her, frightened her to death.

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. But that's what happened. And I'm here to help you break free from all of this, Al. I will get you pregnant so that all the assets you own can be returned to you. And I promise to assist you until you can live like you used to. I won't let them interfere with our love child."

"No!" Alesya pushed away Devin's hand trying to embrace her. "You're insane, Dev. Your wife is downstairs!"

"I know that. But my only goal in marrying her is money. Honestly, the love I have for you is the same as it was before."

Alesya was terrified now. Devin was completely different from the Devin she used to know. His gaze was very different too. It seemed like there was a burning desire in his eyes. As a result, Alesya hugged herself, not wanting Devin to enjoy the sight of her exposed shoulder. She couldn't stand it even if he just looked at her.

"No, you didn't say that when we met at the restaurant."

"I didn't want you to stop me from going through with this marriage. Because I was afraid it would fail, Al. Because I could never bear to see you cry."

Alesya shook her head. Her eyes were starting to well up. "Stay away from me. I don't believe a word that comes out of your mouth."

"Don't believe me?" Devin pulled out the certificate, opened it, and showed it to Alesya. "Look, this belongs to your father. And I'm willing to marry just to get the money, for you, Al."

Alesya didn't want to know. It was true, it was the certificate for her house. But Alesya didn't need any of it.

"I'll do what you want. A child? Let's do it so you can get pregnant... Pregnant with our child, our baby. After our child is born, a DNA test will prove that he's not Bryan's."

"I won't do it!"

Alesya ran towards the door, trying to open it to escape from Devin.

At that time, Alesya did want to do it with Devin. However, that was what she desired before she became comfortable in Nicholas's arms.

"Al, don't do this. Let's do it so you can be free from Bryan. After that, you can divorce me. I'm sure we'll be a married couple after that."

"No, I don't want to! I've considered you dead and no longer care about that house. If you want to take it or sell it, go ahead, I don't want to have anything to do with what ruined my life!" Without stopping her efforts to open the locked bedroom door, Alesya poured out her heart. She had been honest, she didn't want to have anything to do with the person who had trapped her in the past.

"But I don't want Bryan to ask another man to sleep with you, I won't let that happen." Reckless, Devin carried Alesya. Throwing her onto the bed and forcing open the dress that was attached to Alesya's body.

Alesya struggled. Pushing and hitting Devin with all the strength he had. Even though she managed to escape, Alesya had lost her dress. He also couldn't escape from the room, because it was locked from the outside.

To be precise, Nicholas locked it so that Alesya would listen to Devin's explanation. That's what Nicholas wanted, not coercion like what the man did to Alesya.

"Dev, please don't!" Alesya asked, really scared to see Devin. “If you don't stop, I'm sure Nicholas will kill you.”

"What? Nicholas?” Devin put his arm around Alesya's slender waist. “I'm here precisely because he asked. The proof is that the door to this room is locked from the outside."

“No way!”

"Whatever. What matters is what Nicholas wants me to do. Providing seeds to plant in your womb.” Forcibly removing the remaining clothes on Alesya's body.

“No, Nicholas is not like that. Nicholas, tell me this isn't true!!” Alesya screamed, with all the strength she had. Hoping Nicholas or someone else would come to help him.

Alesya still tries to look after and protect herself. However, Devin did not remain silent so he also tried to touch and damage Alesya.

Tired of fighting and screaming, Alesya finally lost. Her body had resigned itself to all of Devin's treatment. He no longer cried or fought. He just let Devin take off all the covers on his body.

“Bastard!!”

The baritone voice shocked Devin, who was staring greedily at Alesya's body. He hadn't had time to undress himself, let alone enter Alesya.

Instead of getting pleasure after successfully stripping Alesya's clothes, Devin actually received a blow to his head. The gift of Nicholas's feet flew without warning, making him fall helplessly.

In fact, the corner of Nicholas' shoe made Devin's temple bleed fresh blood. Not wanting to become Nicholas' meal, Devin quickly ran away.

"Don't run!!" Nicholas gave chase. However, he was forced to give up because it was impossible to leave Alesya in a bad condition.

Nicholas held back his anger. Put your emotions aside first. Close and lock the bedroom door. Approaching Alesya who was lying helpless on the bed. Nicholas lay there too, after covering Alesya.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to break the rules."

Alesya remained silent. It felt like her life had disappeared into thin air after Nicholas admitted that it was indeed him who asked Devin to come. He trapped them both until the terrible incident happened.

"I wanted him to explain to you what he was doing to save you from Bryan."

"Including asking him to plant a seed in my body?"

Nicholas shook his head, wiping away the tears flowing down Alesya's cheeks. "I swear, I never wanted any of that. I..."

"I don't want to hear your oath, Nik."

Alesya pushed away Nicholas's hand, which was wiping her cheek.

"I'll do anything to make you believe, Al."

"I don't need proof."

Alesya shifted and sat down, staring sharply at Nicholas, who couldn't bear to see the anger in her eyes.

"Al..."

"Why do all of you so easily throw me at men? Not you, Bryan is the same!"

"I didn't mean it like that. Devin..."

"Enough!" Alesya slapped herself. Hurt by Bryan, even more hurt nearly ruined by Devin because of Nicholas's foolishness. "You have no idea how much this hurts me!"

"Enough, Alesya!" Nicholas hugged Alesya. "Enough!"

“This hurts, Nik. He… h-he…”

Nicholas covered Alesya's lips with a very gentle kiss. Drowning him in a very tight hug.

However, Alesya didn't want Nicholas to stop there. Even though Devin's shadow still possessed him, Alesya took this opportunity to tie Nicholas up so he wouldn't have a reason to let him go.

Nicholas fell silent. When Alesya brought her hand to cup the moci which was so dense and round. Nicholas' body immediately stiffened, as did his beloved little brother.

"Do it, if you don't trap me." Alesya wiped the wet trail on Nicholas' lips.

Slowly his hands went down to take off his jacket. The shirt that was attached to Nicholas' body. Before he kneels. Squeezing Nicholas' hair and pressing his head, guiding the man's lips to the tip of the moci.
