The entire company could sense that the boss was in a foul mood today.

From the moment Elijah stepped into the office, an oppressive atmosphere settled over everyone. Conversations died down, and even the sound of typing on keyboards became noticeably quieter.

Marcia propped her chin on her hand, staring at the closed door with growing unease.

Elijah hadn't eaten breakfast this morning.

She glanced down at her foot, guilt gnawing at her. Perhaps she had been too harsh earlier. If she had just gone along with him… it might not have been such a big deal after all.

By noon, Elijah still hadn't come out of his office. Kevin strolled over, as nonchalant as ever, and casually invited Marcia to lunch.

"Still locked in there?" Kevin asked, pointing toward Elijah's office. Then, with a teasing grin, he added, "What's going on? Did you two fight?"

Marcia sighed. "No, we didn't."

Kevin smirked knowingly. "Oh, I see. Trouble in paradise? Or is it—" he leaned closer, dropping his voice, "a little…

    For Marcia, getting married—or not—made little difference. Even if the groom was Elijah, it wasn't particularly enticing.She cared even less about who the boss of Azure was; her mind was entirely consumed by thoughts of revenge.But when she heard Louis's furious roar, "You idiot! Are you trying to destroy yourself? Do you even know who she is? If you dare marry her, don't ever call me your father again!"Marcia felt an inexplicable pang of sadness. She could almost understand Louis. After all, when she had insisted on marrying Alan back then, her father had looked even more enraged.Elijah, as usual, remained calm and composed, not even sparing a glance at Louis. He responded with a detached tone, "What I've decided, no one can change."Sometimes, such nonchalant words could be even more infuriating.Louis, a former military man who lived by the principle of obedience, had always expected others to follow his lead.At 60, his physique was still robust, and even standing beside the t

    Marcia felt a soft pang in her heart, mixed with guilt, as if Elijah's words were breaking down her defenses.Yet, the image of his mother's meaningful gaze surfaced in her mind. She huffed, signaling her disdain.Elijah's voice deepened, carrying an air of contemplation. "Why didn't you wait for me to come out?""It was the end of the workday.""Your boss didn't give you permission to leave. Aren't you afraid of having your salary docked or being fired?"Marcia muttered unhappily, "Do whatever you want. You're the boss; your word is law.""Idiot." Elijah gently stroked her short hair, his voice sighing in her ear, neither too close nor too far. "I don't like hearing you say things like 'we don't have to get married'""And I hate it even more when you leave without a word.""You could've asked me what I discussed with them. If possible, I'd much rather we face everything together. Patricia, running away won't help. Keeping everything bottled up is worse."Marcia's heart churned with c

    Outside the house, the night was pitch black, with no lights to illuminate the scene. Marcia's piercing scream echoed through the darkness, chilling and desperate.The security guard at the community gate heard the commotion and rushed over, gripping a baton as he shouted, "Who are you? Let her down, now!"Elijah's aura was cold and menacing, like a messenger from hell itself. He spat out a single word with icy disdain, "Scram!"His demonic glare was so terrifying it nearly made the guard's legs give out. Frozen in fear, the guard dared not utter another word.Marcia, hanging upside down, kicked her legs wildly in front of Elijah. Her head throbbed with blood rushing to it, making her feel dizzy. "Elijah, are you insane? Put me down now!" she cursed.Without hesitation, Elijah landed a hard slap on her rear, this time using his full strength without the slightest hint of mercy. "I told you, I'm truly insane! So you'd better behave and stop provoking me!"Marcia let out a yelp, the sti

    Premeditated schemes or impulsive decisions—whatever it was, the moment Marcia held the marriage certificate in her hands, she finally realized this wasn't a dream.Despite a sleepless night, Elijah appeared full of energy. He carefully tucked away the marriage certificate and said to Marcia, "Let's grab some breakfast. After that, I'll take you home to rest."A gentle breeze swept by, lifting the ends of Marcia's hair. Annoyed at how messy it looked, she muttered, "I'm not hungry."Elijah frowned, clearly displeased by her response. "Do you know the essence of marriage?" he asked.Marcia shook her head. "You've said it yourself—marriage is pointless. If someone's going to cheat, they'll cheat regardless!"Elijah was speechless for a moment. He flicked her forehead lightly and said, "Is that what you took away from my words last night?"Sliding his arm around her shoulders, he added with a subtle tone, "The essence of marriage is three meals a day and sharing a bed at night. Four thin

    When Marcia woke up, it was already afternoon.Elijah, for once, was still asleep beside her, sleeping deeply. Even in slumber, his brows were furrowed slightly, his expression cold and unapproachable.Unable to resist, Marcia gently reached out to smooth the crease between his brows. She found herself staring at his sleeping face, lost in thought, when something on the floor caught her attention with a sudden glint.Carefully slipping out of bed, she bent down to pick up the scattered clothes and realized it was her phone. She hadn't even known she'd brought it along. Unlocking the screen, she saw a message from an unknown number:"This is Eli's mother. Do you have time to meet me?"Marcia's hand paused. She hesitated, typing a few polite words, but deleted them. In the end, her reply was simple: "I'm free."A response came almost immediately, detailing the time and place for the meeting.Marcia quickly headed to the bathroom for a shower. Staring at herself in the mirror, she knew t

    "Stop right there! Where do you think you're going?!"Pag, who had been locked in a heated argument with Cara, immediately chased after Marcia upon seeing her grab another dress and head for the door.She yanked Marcia's hair, her voice full of rage. "Do you think you're allowed to touch the clothes in this room? This space is reserved for us! Who gave you permission to come in here?!"Pag's grip was so strong that Marcia's scalp stung. Marcia spoke in a low voice, "Let go!""Oh, I won't let go today! First, you seduced a man as his secretary to get yourself a backer. And now, in a place full of women, who are you going to use those tricks on, huh?" Pag spat venomously. "Let me tell you something: I've been at Demon for three years. I know most of the clients here like the back of my hand. Even if one of them takes a liking to you, I'll make sure you don't get a single job! If you're smart, you'll get down on your knees and apologize!"The other women in the room crossed their arms, w

    Marcia arrived at the café as promised and was just about to step inside when she saw Helen getting out of her car."You're quite punctual," Helen remarked.Marcia gave her a polite smile, and the two women walked into the café. The awkward timing left the place nearly empty, the dim lighting casting a soft glow around them.Amid the soothing background of gentle music, Helen broke the silence. "I invited you here to talk about you and Eli."There was an elegance in Helen's demeanor, though it was tinged with an air of detachment, clearly the mark of someone raised in wealth and refinement.Elijah, it had to be said, bore a striking resemblance to her—at least a good seventy percent of his features mirrored hers.But while Elijah exuded an innate coldness, an almost aloof and distant presence, Helen's every gesture was poised and appropriate.Yet her gaze carried an undeniable pride that was hard to ignore.Marcia looked up at her calmly. "Madam, you may as well speak plainly."Their

    After a short wait, Claire arrived."Why did you go out without your wallet?" Claire asked, panting slightly as she sat down."I left in a hurry and forgot. Thanks a lot." Marcia handed her the bill. "It's $223. I'll pay you back when we get home."Claire waved it off. "Don't worry about it. Let's go. By the way, have you eaten yet?"Marcia shook her head. "Not yet. What about you?"Claire shook her head too. "Me neither. Let's go grab something to eat. For some reason, I've been craving spicy food."Pregnancy often changes a woman's tastes, and Claire was no exception. She used to have a sweet tooth and couldn't handle anything spicy, but ever since she got pregnant, she'd developed a surprising love for spicy dishes.The situation with Fidel had been a heavy blow to her, but motherhood brought incredible resilience. For the sake of the baby, Claire had recovered remarkably—both physically and emotionally—and her appetite was impressive.After Marcia was discharged from the hospital,

    Elijah frowned. "Impossible?" He couldn't understand. "But then... how could you? No, we're going to the hospital right now! The doctors I know are far more reliable than him. I've always found him suspicious. Let's get you checked first, then we can talk about this.""Are you not happy that I can conceive?"Elijah shook his head. "How could I not be happy? But I don't trust him. Let's go to the hospital, okay?"He was overwhelmed with joy, but beneath that joy lay deep concern. If Jeff was lying, how would Marcia handle it? He could live without a child, but he couldn't bear to see Marcia fall into despair again.He never wanted to see her cry. That pain would be far worse than not having a child."Eli, sit down first." Marcia dared not let him take her to the hospital—if they found out she had recently lost a pregnancy, things would be disastrous."The surgery two years ago... Jeff was actually the lead surgeon." Marcia watched Elijah's expression darken as her voice unconsciously d

    Marcia leaned against Elijah's chest, yet a slight unease crept into her heart.She still remembered Jeff's instructions—no intimacy for a month. But when she stole a glance at Elijah, his brows were tightly furrowed, his expression serious. For some reason, her heart softened again and again."Eli, what are you thinking about?"Hearing the slight anxiety in Marcia's voice, Elijah held her tightly, resting his head against her neck. His voice was low and gentle. "Nothing. I just think... it's really good that you're here.""Myron is really getting engaged? To... that Nancy?" Marcia traced her fingers over his firm arm, feeling a growing sense of security.She wished she could rely on him like this forever."Mm." Elijah's response was muffled, carrying a hint of an unspoken heaviness.Marcia thought for a moment. "His family has a rule that a man can only marry one woman in his lifetime, right? Does your family have a rule like that?"Elijah chuckled lightly and ran his fingers through

    Elijah let out a soft sigh and gently pulled Marcia behind him. "What are you doing?"Marcia bit her lip, feeling a bit foolish for her reaction. Why did she assume Hayden would actually come to blows with Elijah?Elijah, standing tall and unwavering, met Hayden's gaze head-on, his expression calm. "To bring Myron back to Liverpool.""Back to Liverpool? If he's taking that woman with him, then what's the point? He might as well not come back at all! Damn it!" Hayden raised his fist but ultimately slammed it against the table instead."Hayden, sit down." Myron's voice was deep and hoarse. He seemed exhausted, yet his expression remained resolute. "I chose to marry Nancy on my own. It has nothing to do with my mother or Eli. I appreciate your concern, but enough with the arguments."He glanced at Kevin and chuckled. "What are you scheming now? Think I'm lying?"Kevin cleared his throat awkwardly. "Not at all. If you say so, then it must be true." He had initially suspected this was just

    "Patricia, I thought you two would head straight to the second floor!" Hayden teased with a mischievous grin, taking a sip of his orange juice.Marcia ignored him, her eyes immediately landing on Myron, who sat beside Kevin with a face as dark as ink. At the head of the dining table sat a frail, pale-skinned elderly woman who was scrutinizing her with an assessing gaze.Marcia couldn't help but feel nervous."Auntie, this is Patricia. What do you think? Beautiful, right?" Elijah draped an arm over Marcia's shoulder, grinning proudly.Gloria took a sip of water before smiling lightly. "Hmm, she is beautiful. No wonder you've been so restless, eager to come home!""That's not true! I'm also happy to spend more time with you!" Elijah chuckled, then gently nudged Marcia forward. "Cia, come say hello to Auntie."His eyes were filled with warmth, a look that was second nature to him in front of Myron and the others. But for Gloria, it was the first time witnessing this side of him, and she

    Marcia and Elijah walked hand in hand toward the villa. Since it was located in the suburbs, the fresh air was a rare luxury.A cool breeze brushed against Marcia's face, making her instinctively shrink her neck."Are you cold?" Elijah asked, his voice tinged with concern as he pulled her into his embrace. "I was worried you'd feel uncomfortable if we stayed in the car for too long. Looks like I miscalculated again!"Marcia shook her head and snuggled against his chest with a soft laugh. "Not at all. The air is refreshing, and the scenery is beautiful. But how did you know I was feeling restless in the car? Do you have some kind of mind-reading power? That would be incredible!"Elijah chuckled, gently ruffling her hair. "Your nose is all red. You look just like a little bunny. Makes me want to eat you up!"As he spoke, he playfully rubbed her cheeks. When Marcia looked up at him with a smile, he couldn't resist leaning down to kiss her cool lips."Aren't they waiting for us inside? Le

    Seeing the two of them like this, Marcia couldn't shake the strange feeling growing inside her. She pulled out her phone to check for any messages from Elijah. The last thing on their chat was a simple "Good night" from both of them. A faint smile curved her lips.She casually snapped a photo of the highway scenery outside the car window and sent it to Elijah.Since it was still early, she hadn't expected an immediate response. But to her surprise, he seemed to have been awake all night—his reply came almost instantly."Already on the road? Are you tired? You should get some rest in the car!"Marcia bit her lip lightly and typed back curiously, "Did you not sleep? I'm not tired. I've been resting at home these past few days.""Hmm, I heard about that. Why are you so lazy and always sleeping?" Elijah chuckled, then added, "Even though I feel bad for you, my love, I'm so happy that I'll see you soon."Seeing him call her lazy, Marcia instinctively glanced at Kevin, who was driving. It h

    Ever since that terrible experience, Marcia had developed a subtle aversion to "Calderstones."Elijah had been away for five days now. They spoke on the phone daily—sometimes just exchanging a few words, other times lingering as if they couldn't bear to hang up.The distance seemed to intensify their feelings, making them feel like a couple deeply in love.A call in the early morning. The phone was warm in her hand. Though sadness still lingered in her heart, Marcia felt as if Elijah was slowly healing her, piece by piece.Since her surgery, she had become more sensitive—more reliant on Elijah. She wanted him to return, yet at the same time, she hoped he wouldn't come back too soon. She longed for his embrace but also feared the warmth he brought.Torn between these emotions, her longing for him only grew stronger.Sometimes, as she lay in her empty bed, she couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if he were beside her&md

    "He's just a wolf in sheep's clothing," Hayden remarked leisurely, pouring himself a cup of hot water. Watching the steam rise, he smiled faintly and casually asked, "Patricia, did you already know Myron was fine? Otherwise, how could you be in the mood to come out for a meal?"Marcia was momentarily stunned. After a brief silence, she chuckled. "I contacted Eli. Besides, there wasn't much to eat at home. Everyone's had a tough day—it's only right that we treat ourselves to a meal. Why? Do you think there's something wrong with that?"Hayden smirked. "Not at all. Just a funny coincidence." He blew on his cup, took a small sip, and added, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you hadn't been home at all."Shirley shot him a glare. "Hayden, your mindset is all wrong!""Oh?" Hayden raised an eyebrow and turned to look at her.Shirley shook her head dramatically and said with an air of seriousness, "Have you been spending too much time with Demon? You've picked up the nasty habit of

    "Did she ask you anything? Or did she want you to do something?" Marcia sat up straight, her tone cold and sharp.Jeff snapped out of his thoughts and replied calmly, "She was curious if you were pregnant. Oh, that reminds me, was she the one at Calderstones that time...?"Before he could finish, he paused, realization dawning on his face. "No wonder!"Marcia stared at him intently. "What did you tell her? Did you take her money? What about Alan? Was he there too?"Jeff shot her a glare. "I'm a doctor. What do you take me for? She's pregnant, and Alan? Oh, you mean that man? No, I didn't see him."Pregnant? A sharp pain struck Marcia's heart. Kate was pregnant again, while she… she had lost her child.Fate was truly laughable. The heavens remained as unfair as ever.Perhaps sensing her hatred too clearly, Jeff coughed lightly and continued, "Alright, stop glaring at me. I'm on your side."Marcia eyed him suspiciously but said nothing.Jeff sighed. "I refused to be her private doctor,
