"Are you hungry?" James asked Sirena, who stood near the window, gazing at the vast, close-up view of the sea.

"Yeah, I haven’t eaten anything," Sirena replied.

"Then wait a moment. I'll order us some food," James said as he walked toward the phone mounted on the wall.

James quickly picked up the receiver and spoke to the room service staff. "Can you send up two full dinner sets? One with medium-rare steak and the other... a seafood platter," he ordered, glancing at Sirena. "You like seafood, right?"

Sirena nodded slightly, her face still showing traces of emotions that hadn't entirely faded. "Yes, I like seafood."

James offered a faint smile and continued his order. "Oh, and don't forget two fresh orange juices and your finest wine." Once done, he returned the phone to its cradle.

"We have a few minutes before the food arrives," he said, walking closer. "Why don't you sit down?"

Sirena kept her gaze fixed on the dark, gently rippling sea under the starry sky. "I like it here; the vie

    "Siren?" called James. Siren was sitting pensively at the edge of the bed."This is your room card. You're in the wrong room. David is waiting for you outside; he'll take you to your room," James said, handing her the card.Siren turned to look at James. "Can't I just sleep here?"James was taken aback by her boldness. Normally, she would avoid him at all costs."Sleep here? With me?" James asked, seeking confirmation.Siren's face instantly flushed with embarrassment. She couldn’t believe she had blurted that out. Turning her head away, she tried to hide her blush. But she didn't want to be away from James. She was afraid that if she left, the reality of him being gone and all of this being a mere illusion would hit her."Um... I mean—" Siren bit her lower lip, struggling to find the right words."Actually, it's fine if you want to stay. I'll have David use your room for now. They might do room checks to make sure all guests are in their assigned cabins," James explained.Siren hesit

    "Are you done with your shower? Come on, let's have breakfast," James invited, already sitting comfortably in his chair with a variety of breakfast dishes spread out on the table."Um... yeah," Siren replied, feeling awkward and embarrassed. She desperately wanted to disappear at that very moment and avoid looking at James. She couldn't stop thinking about her actions last night, which surely must have shocked him. Even she was stunned at herself, acting so impulsively."What's wrong? Why are you just standing there?" James asked. "Come here and eat a lot. I know you're hungry and tired after last night's... surprising activity."Siren's face turned bright red at James's teasing, making her even more embarrassed."Um... yeah," she answered, walking over to the chair in front of James. Without looking at him, Siren began to eat quickly, stuffing her mouth until her cheeks were puffed out with food.James laughed, having watched her fondly the whole time."Wh-why are you laughing?"

    "So, James is hiding a woman in his room?" Jeslyn asked."That's right, Miss. A mysterious woman. She seems quite special to James, and David is helping him. I think those two from the Scout family are planning something dangerous," reported the man who served as Jeslyn's spy."Hm... Planning something? Do they think they can go against Romano Castel?" she said firmly.Jeslyn leaned gracefully against her chair, her gaze sharp and calculating. "Who is this woman? Can you find out more about her?" she asked while tapping her fingers on the armrest.The spy obediently nodded. "I will dig deeper, Miss. But from what I’ve seen, the woman is quite close to James. In fact, James seems very protective of her."Jeslyn narrowed her eyes, uneasiness creeping into her heart. "Protective, you say? That means... she’s important to him."The spy nodded again. "Exactly, Miss. And it seems David is also involved in protecting her. They’re being extremely cautious, keeping a close watch on her every m

    "You seem to be in a really good mood right now. Did James really affect you that much?" David asked as he drove."Pretty much," Sirena replied."In that case, you're not suspicious of me anymore, right? Can we be friends now?" David asked with a sweet smile."Friends? Of course not," Sirena's answer made David's expression change instantly. He furrowed his brows."I took you to your dream guy, didn’t I? What else are you suspicious of? Even though James and I never got along, the fact is, we’re working together now," David responded.Sirena crossed her arms and looked at David with a flat expression. "I know you helped James, but that doesn’t mean I trust you right away," she said in a sharp tone.David took a deep breath and shook his head slightly. "Oh, come on, Siren. I’m a good guy, you know? Besides, if I had bad intentions, I wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of bringing you back safely."Sirena glanced at him briefly before looking out the window. "Maybe. But you’re still

    "Marriage?" James smiled."Yes," Jeslyn answered with full confidence."Jeslyn, I've told you before. I will help you and work with you. But on one condition—there will be no conditions like this. Right now, we are business partners in a mutually beneficial relationship. I bring you benefits, and you do the same for me. Do you understand?" James emphasized."So, who is she?" Jeslyn asked, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at James."None of your business!" James replied, rising from his seat."James, I'm still talking to you!" Jeslyn called out, but James chose to walk away.He ignored her completely, leaving Jeslyn fuming with frustration. She clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with anger. From the beginning, she knew that James wasn't the type of man who could be controlled, but she never expected such a firm rejection."James!" she shouted again, but the man kept walking without even glancing back.Jeslyn gritted her teeth. "Damn it!" she muttered, staring at the drin

    Sirena paced back and forth in her room, her mind working nonstop, trying to figure out how she could meet James. Longing and anxiety mixed together, making it hard for her to think clearly."How can I meet James?" she murmured, biting her fingernail anxiously.She paused for a moment, staring at her phone lying on the table. Her hand reached for it, opening her contacts and scrolling through the list, hoping to find someone who could help her. But who? There was no one she could call to ask about James—not even James himself, whose number was no longer active.Sirena sat on the edge of her bed, letting out a deep sigh. "I have to come up with the right idea to meet James and not be apart from him anymore. Yes, I have to fight for my own feelings, no matter what happens," she said with determination.But before she could decide on her next move, her phone suddenly vibrated. An incoming call from an unknown number. Sirena frowned, staring at the screen. Hesitant, she finally swiped the

    "Where are you going, James?" Jeslyn asked, stopping James as he was about to leave the mansion.James halted and looked at Jeslyn. "I don't think that's any of your business," he replied."I'm serious, James. You shouldn't be wandering around showing your face. What if the Scout family sees you?" Jeslyn questioned.James took a deep breath. "I know what I'm doing. So, you don't need to worry about me," he said before walking away, leaving Jeslyn standing there, feeling both frustrated and annoyed."Where exactly is he going? Why is he in such a hurry? Does this have something to do with that woman?" she muttered angrily to herself.Jeslyn clenched her fists, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. "That woman... Sirena?" she thought. Jeslyn had already gathered information about Sirena through her investigation.She had been feeling uneasy for a while now. James always kept secrets from her, but this time, her instincts told her it had something to do with Sirena."What exactly is James's

    Sirena looked at James and froze in place. She could only let out a deep sigh. She knew this was probably karma for rejecting James’s feelings before. She wouldn’t blame him—she acknowledged her own mistakes.At the very least, there was nothing left for her to hide from James. She had laid everything out clearly.“I’m leaving. Sorry for making you come here when you’re busy,” Sirena said as she resumed her steps.“Sirena!” James called out.What surprised Sirena was when a strong grip suddenly pulled her back, turning her around until she fell into James’s warm embrace.“Don’t go,” James whispered, holding her tightly.Sirena, unable to hold back her tears, let them fall as she clutched onto the fabric of James’s suit.“I’m sorry… Please, don’t go,” he murmured.“Then don’t let me go,” Sirena answered, her voice breaking as silent tears streamed down her face.James tightened his embrace, as if afraid that the moment he let go, Sirena would truly disappear from his life.

    "I'm home, Sweety." James entered the mansion at night, though it was not too late.He walked toward the dining area and noticed that the dinner remained untouched, even though dinnertime had long passed."Where is Siren? Has she not had dinner yet?" James asked one of the maids present."Madam is still in her room, Sir. She hasn’t come down at all," the maid replied, making James feel uneasy.James let out a slow sigh before climbing the stairs to their bedroom. Worry started creeping into his mind. Siren never skipped dinner.Reaching the door, James knocked gently. "Sweety, are you inside?"No response…James frowned before finally opening the door and stepping in. The bedroom lights were dim, and Siren sat at the edge of the bed, hugging her knees. Her eyes stared blankly at the window.James approached her and crouched down in front of her. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked softly.Siren didn't answer immediately. It took her a few seconds before she finally whispered, "I'm just… tir

    James narrowed his eyes. "What is he up to?"David placed his phone on the table, displaying a report. "There are signs of sabotage in one of our related projects. Several suppliers have suddenly withdrawn, and there are rumors that someone is trying to buy shares in companies affiliated with us."Romano growled. "Damn it, he's wasting no time."James gave a faint smile, completely unfazed. "Then let's give him a surprise."Romano's eyes narrowed. "What’s your plan?"James leaned back in his chair, exuding confidence. "If Leonard wants to play dirty, we’ll make sure he realizes he picked the wrong opponent."Romano smirked. "I like the way you think, James. But you know Leonard isn't someone who goes down easily."James met his gaze sharply. "Which is exactly why we need to act fast."David crossed his arms. "Do you have a strategy?"James picked up his phone, typed something, then looked at them. "First, we identify the suppliers who backed out and secure alternatives before the proj

James had already promised Romano that he would secure the contract.The meeting room was filled with prominent business figures, each with their own agenda and ambitions. James sat calmly in his seat, his expression unreadable as the tender committee representatives began presenting the highly contested project.Romano sat beside him, appearing relaxed, but his eyes were sharp and calculating. Meanwhile, David, seated across from them, seemed more at ease, occasionally glancing around the room to assess their competitors."James," Romano whispered. "We must ensure our proposal is the best. I don't want to lose this project."James nodded without turning his head. "Don't worry, Mr. Romano. I've prepared everything."The presentation session began. One by one, the participants took turns presenting their plans. James observed atten

    "Good morning, Sister-in-law!" David entered the mansion with a bright expression."Oh? What brings you here so early?" Sirena asked, frowning."What else? I'm here to greet the newlyweds," he chuckled, making Sirena roll her eyes."Sit down, have breakfast," Sirena said, already seated at the dining table."Well, if you insist, I won’t say no," he laughed, taking a seat across from her."Ck... Always taking advantage of opportunities," James commented as he appeared, dressed neatly."Of course," David grinned as he flipped his plate over."You're all dressed up, James? Are you going somewhere?" Sirena asked, observing her husband."Yes, Sweety. I have a meeting and need to meet with some investors," James replied, sitting beside her."Will it take long?" Sirena asked, not wanting him to leave.James smiled slightly, sensing the reluctance in her voice. "I'll try to be back as soon as possible. Just a few hours, Sweety."Sirena sighed softly, stirring her food absentmindedly with her

    "Ah, looks like my persuasion worked this time," James teased as Sirena opened her bedroom door, stepping out with a clearly annoyed expression."It better be good," Sirena muttered, walking ahead and leaving James behind."Of course. When have my dishes ever been bad?" James chuckled, following her.Sirena shot him a glare over her shoulder, eyes filled with doubt. "You're way too confident."James feigned offense. "Oh, Sweety! Do you still doubt my culinary skills? That really hurts my pride as a man."Sirena scoffed and crossed her arms. "We'll see. If it’s not good, you’re washing dishes for a whole week."James let out a low chuckle. "Deal. But if it is good, you owe me a reward."Sirena narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "What kind of reward?"James leaned in slightly, whispering in a playful tone, "Three rounds tonight. How about that?"Sirena’s face instantly turned red. "JAMES!" she shrieked, shoving him away.James just laughed in satisfaction. "Alright, alright. Let’s start co

    "You're lying, aren't you? You must be lying to me, James," Jeslyn said, completely unwilling to accept James' statement."Why would I lie to you, Jes? There's no point in doing that," James replied."James, from the very beginning, our agreement was about my marriage to you!" Jeslyn snapped, her eyes brimming with anger."There was never such an agreement, Jeslyn!" James said, his frustration evident. Meanwhile, Sirena remained silent, but her gaze was filled with anger toward James, as if accusing him of being a liar. That alone made him feel pressured.Jeslyn stared at James, her eyes burning with fury and disappointment. "So, you're just going to throw me away? After everything we've been through?"James sighed, trying to suppress his frustration. "Jeslyn, I never promised to marry you. If you or your father assumed that, it was never my agreement."Jeslyn let out a bitter chuckle, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. "So, this was all just business to you? What am I to you,

    "Welcome to my mansion," James said as he opened the massive door to his grand estate."Wow, so this is where you've been living all this time?" Sirena asked in awe."That's right. I bought this place because it's comfortable. Even though it's on the outskirts of the city, the view is breathtaking," James replied.Sirena stepped inside, her eyes immediately captivated by the mansion's magnificent interior. Tall walls adorned with classic carvings, a grand crystal chandelier casting shimmering light across the room, and elegantly arranged furniture created an air of luxury."You're right, this place is truly beautiful," she whispered, admiring every corner.James smiled slightly as he closed the door behind them. "I want you to feel comfortable here. From now on, this is your home too."Sirena turned to him, sensing something in his tone that made her feel... safe.Vaul, James' personal assistant, appeared from the hallway and gave a slight bow.
