Sylvia excused herself and headed to the washroom, needing a moment to collect her thoughts. The atmosphere at the table felt charged, heavy with unspoken words and competing emotions. As she stepped into the cool, quiet space, she splashed water on her face, trying to shake off the tension that had begun to creep into her mind.

After a few deep breaths, she returned to her seat, hoping the momentary reprieve would help her face the ongoing drama. As she sat down, she caught Stephan’s gaze briefly; he looked up from his plate, meeting her eyes for just a heartbeat before shifting his focus back to his food. There was something reassuring in his indifference, but also unsettling. Next to him, Ruth bit her lip, visibly irritated as she slumped back into her chair, unwilling to hide her displeasure.

What was this woman even worth? Ruth seethed internally. Sylvia came from a poor background, yet here she was, at the center of Stephan’s attention, as if her humble origins were somehow

    Sylvia felt a flicker of guilt wash over her at his words. It was true; she had used him to assert herself, to reclaim a little power in a situation that had spiraled out of her control. But wasn’t it his affair in the first place? Why should she feel guilty for cleaning up the mess he had made? Confusion stirred within her, and she struggled to articulate her thoughts. “Uhm…” she began, but before she could finish, he sealed her lips with his. His hot breath fanned against her, igniting a fire of emotions that she struggled to comprehend. The kiss deepened, ravenous and wild, overwhelming her senses. She tried to push him away, but he held her hands in place with one of his, trapping her in the moment. His other hand roamed, caressing her breast, sending shivers down her spine. “Uh…” Sylvia moaned against his mouth, caught between desire and a nagging doubt. Was this right? But Stephan seemed to have other plans. He withdrew from her lips, his mouth trailing down to her neck, wh

    Stephan walked into the house and took the elevator to his room, his mind still reeling from the events of the day. As he approached his door, he noticed it was ajar. Curiosity piqued, he walked closer and paused when he saw the housekeeper handing a glass of milk to Sylvia. She accepted it gratefully, drinking it in one gulp before returning the cup to the housekeeper. As the housekeeper turned to leave, her eyes met Stephan’s. “Young Master,” she greeted, a hint of guilt flickering across her features. He nodded in acknowledgment but felt a twinge of annoyance. The last thing he needed was another reminder of the chaos swirling around him. Ignoring Sylvia, he stepped into the bathroom, desperate to wash away the lingering scent of alcohol that clung to him. The hot water cascaded over his body, and he let it wash away not just the physical grime, but also the tumult of emotions battling within him. Once clean, he lay down next to Sylvia, who seemed lost in her own world. As he s

    The next day, Sylvia stirred and she woke up immediately. She looked around and tried to sit up on the bed. As she tried to sit up, a sharp pain shot through her thigh and radiated to her core. She gasped, the sudden jolt catching her off guard. She gasped. She looked beside her and saw Stephan laying down next to her. She did not understand what was happening. Sylvia's gaze fell to the sheets, her heart sinking as she noticed the dark stains spreading across the fabric. Sylvia frowned, Sylvia's brow furrowed as memories flooded back, each one sharper and more vivid than the last.. She was the one begging Stephan to sleep with her last night. Sylvia brought her hands to her face, desperate to shield her racing thoughts from the world around her, she held her head. “What has she done? Won’t he think she was cheaper? After all she was the one who told him that the marriage will be no sex marriage” All sort of thoughts were running through her head at that moment. Stephan opened h

    Sylvia lay down on the bed, trying to close her eyes and block out the whirlwind of emotions swirling in her mind. She felt a mixture of frustration and confusion, grappling with the weight of their earlier conversation. Just as she began to drift into thought, a sharp knock interrupted her solitude. Someone was at the door. With a sigh, Sylvia pushed herself off the bed and made her way to the door. When she opened it, she found the housekeeper standing there, her expression a mix of respect and concern. “Food is ready, young madam,” the housekeeper said, her voice soft yet firm. Sylvia hesitated, a pang of defiance rising within her. “Can’t I eat in the room?” she asked, hoping for a moment of reprieve from the looming tension. The housekeeper’s brow furrowed with worry. “I… I… n…” Sylvia’s frown deepened as she sensed the unease. She didn’t want to create a scene or burden the housekeeper with her issues. “Okay, I will come down to eat,” she said, forcing a smile despite the k

    The next day, Sylvia woke up early, the sunlight streaming through her window and warming her skin. She had no idea why she had slept for so long the previous day. The exhaustion that had enveloped her was unlike anything she had experienced before. It felt as if she had been in a deep slumber, one that could only be broken by the overwhelming emotions of the day before. After taking a moment to gather herself, she went through her morning routine, trying to shake off the remnants of yesterday’s tension. Once she felt somewhat composed, she walked out of her room and headed downstairs. The house was quiet, and a sense of unease crept in as she thought about Stephan. She had no idea when he had returned home the previous night or how he had reacted to their argument. Sylvia walked into the living room, glancing around for any sign of him, but he was nowhere to be found. The emptiness of the space mirrored her feelings—an unsettling combination of longing and apprehension. She decided

    Sylvia’s heart raced as she spotted a man walking toward her in the dimly lit club. Panic surged within her. “Please help me!” she cried out, her voice barely rising above the pulsating music. Though the alcohol blurred her senses, she instinctively recognized the danger that loomed nearby. “Sylvia?” The man called her name, his tone both familiar and unsettling. As he drew closer, her heart sank. It was Nicole, the man who had once promised her the world but had shattered her dreams instead. Memories of their past rushed back, but there was no time to dwell on them now. Nicole’s expression shifted from surprise to concern as he approached them. “Don’t interfere, young man,” a menacing figure warned from behind her. “Stay out of this if you don’t want to get injured.” His tone dripped with menace, and Sylvia felt a shiver run down her spine. Nicole’s response was immediate. He kicked the man away with surprising strength, sending him sprawling onto the floor. “Let’s go!” he shoute

    The morning sun crept through the curtains, waking Sylvia earlier than she intended. She groaned as she pushed herself up from the bed, her head pounding as if she had carried a heavy load through the night. The events of the previous evening flooded her mind, and she winced, feeling the full force of her headache. Determined to shake off the discomfort, she shuffled to the bathroom and turned on the shower. The warm water cascaded over her, soothing her aching head as she let it run, hoping it would alleviate some of her pain. Sylvia avoided medication whenever possible, believing in the body’s ability to heal naturally. After a few moments under the water, she finally felt a bit clearer, though the headache lingered. After her shower, she dried off and slipped into a simple blue dress that made her feel somewhat put together. She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, taking a moment to appreciate her reflection. “You can do this,” she whispered, steeling herself for the

    Sylvia snapped out of her train of thought, confused as she looked out of the window. She knew that Stephan's house was not far away from her workplace. It is just like an hour's journey but they have been on the road for an hour and thirty minutes now. She saw that she was not familiar with the place the driver was driving. She was scared and quickly took her phone out , she texted Stephan and told him where she was, she hit the send button. She raised her head and saw that the driver was pointing a gun at her. She was so scared, her palms became sweaty. She clenched her fist to stop herself from trembling. Sylvia trembled, she had to clench her fist tightly to stop herself from showing weaknesses to the killer. She always wanted to die in the past but now someone is pointing a gun at her. She doesn't want to die anymore and she is afraid of dying. "Your phone" The man said, his voice sounded thick and dangerous, he was putting on a nose mask with a dark eyeglass. Sylvia d

    Sylvia Luke nodded thoughtfully, absorbing Lily’s words. It felt like a moment of clarity had settled over her, one that brought a sense of understanding she had been searching for. “Okay, I understand now,” she said, finishing the last drop of her drink. It was refreshing, like a cool breeze on a sweltering day, and she felt a little lighter. Lily, however, had different plans. She poured a generous measure of alcohol into her glass and downed it in one swift motion. The burn felt familiar, a reminder that sometimes the easiest way to dull the ache of longing was to simply forget. She forced a smile, one tinged with bitterness, knowing Sylvia Luke couldn’t see the true emotion behind it. Deep down, she longed for someone like Stephan Damon—someone who would love her unconditionally. “You are a lucky girl,” she muttered under her breath, her voice barely audible over the hum of the bar. It was a statement directed not at Sylvia but at her own unfulfilled desires. “Did you say

    Lily Doo nodded, her expression shifting from playful to concerned. “Yes, I am. What about you?” she asked, studying Sylvia closely. Sylvia Luke shrugged, pouring a drink into the empty glass on the table. “I am okay,” she replied, attempting to mask the turmoil beneath her surface. Lily smiled knowingly. “You don’t look like you are alright,” she said, her tone laced with familiarity. “Is it written all over my face?” Sylvia countered, trying to keep her voice light, but the weight of her emotions was hard to hide. “If you want to deceive everyone, you can’t deceive me,” Lily said, her voice firm yet gentle. “I can tell when you’re not really okay. What’s wrong? Are we still best friends? You’ve started keeping things away from me.” Her expression turned sad, and Sylvia felt a pang of guilt. Sylvia sighed, feeling the walls close in on her. “It’s Stephan Damon!” she blurted out. “And I’m sure you’re keeping things from him too. What are you hiding from me?” Lily chuckled, a hin

    Sylvia Luke closed her room door with a soft thud and sank onto the bed, her mind racing. Just then, her phone rang, slicing through her thoughts. Startled, she fished it out of her bag and glanced at the screen. It was Lily, her closest friend. She answered the call, placing the phone to her ear. “Hello?” she said, trying to keep her voice steady. “What’s up?” Lily’s voice came through, bright and cheerful. “I’m good. What about you?” Sylvia replied, attempting to mirror her friend’s upbeat tone. “Okay. Are you around?” Lily asked, a hint of excitement in her voice. “Yes, I am,” Sylvia confirmed, feeling a spark of enthusiasm flicker within her. “Let’s meet at Shell Bar then,” Lily suggested. “Okay, I’ll meet you there in a jiffy,” Sylvia said, glad for the distraction. “Sure, waiting for you,” Lily chirped before hanging up. Sylvia placed her phone down and took a deep breath. She needed this—some time with her friend to clear her head. She got up from the bed and walked o

    Stephan Damon’s expression darkened at the mention of her name. “She’s with the police. Why do you ask?” His tone was guarded; he didn’t want to believe that Sylvia Luke might feel sympathy for the woman who had wronged her. Sylvia Luke shrugged, her heart heavy with conflicting emotions. “I just want to see her, to understand. I feel like she might have been deceived or something,” she said, her voice quieter now. The idea of confronting the woman was daunting, yet she felt a strange pull to learn more, to empathize with someone who seemed to be acting out of pain. Stephan Damon regarded her thoughtfully, his gaze searching her face. He could see the turmoil within her, the struggle between her desire for justice and her instinct to show compassion. “You don’t have to carry her burden too,” he finally said, his voice low but firm. “Focus on your healing first.” Stephan Damon nodded, the weight of the situation hanging between them. “She will tell the police all that.

    Minutes turned into hours, and Stephan Damon remained by her side, his resolve hardening. He would do everything in his power to ensure that she felt safe and loved. The darkness that had encroached on their lives would be pushed away, and he would fight for their future together, no matter what it took. He leaned closer, brushing a strand of hair from her forehead. “Please, come back to me,” he murmured, his voice laced with emotion. “I need you.” Stephan Damon walked out of the ward, needing a moment to collect himself and avoid disturbing Sylvia Luke’s fragile peace. He stepped into the dimly lit corridor and pulled out his phone, his fingers trembling slightly as he dialed a number. “Hello?” came a cautious voice on the other end. “Boss, the woman is still adamant that Madam seduced her husband. She claims she received some images on her phone,” the bodyguard reported, his voice shaky. Stephan Damon clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white. Anger surged th

    Stephan Damon dropped to his knees beside Sylvia Luke, his heart aching at the sight of her. She lay still, her chest barely rising and falling, and for a moment He walked closer to her and carried her in his arms not caring about how dirty and haggard she looked. The smell of urine assaulted his nose, but he didn't care about that, he was a clean freak but he didn't even bother about getting dirty. “Sylvia?” he whispered, his voice barely above a breath. Sylvia Luke heard the familiar tone, like a lifeline pulling her back from the abyss. She struggled to open her heavy eyelids, each flutter feeling like a monumental effort. Finally, she managed to focus on the face that meant everything to her. “Hubby, you’re finally here,” she said in a low, raspy tone, forcing a smile that felt more like a grimace. The effort it took to appear cheerful only deepened the ache in Stephan Damon’s heart. His chest tightened painfully as he took in her disheveled appearance. She looked so fra

    Just when she thought it couldn’t get worse, the phone in her pocket began to ring, cutting through the chaos like a beacon. The woman, still holding her down, felt the vibrations and yanked the phone out. She glanced at the screen, her expression shifting to one of disdain as she read the name: “Baby.” “You’re really shameless. Is it one of the men you seduced calling you? Let’s see who else you’ve seduced after my husband,” the woman sneered, holding the phone like a trophy, her expression a mix of triumph and derision. Sylvia Luke’s mind felt blank, a swirling fog taking over as she processed everything. The ringing felt distant, and she could barely comprehend the woman’s words. The humiliation, the anger, the pain—it all melded into a haze. Her consciousness flickered in and out, making it hard to focus on anything but the overwhelming embarrassment. “Answer it! Let’s see who you really are!” the woman demanded, pressing the phone to Sylvia Luke’s ear. Through the haze, S

    “Hello?” a man’s voice cut into the conversation. Sylvia Luke’s brow knitted in confusion. “Who are you?” she asked, sensing the shift in tone. “I’m the officer handling Miss Emily Anthony’s case. Are you her workplace friend?” he asked, his voice professional yet firm. “Yes,” she replied, anxiety bubbling in her chest. “Okay, your friend borrowed a sum of one million dollars from a lady over the past two months and has refused to pay. Can you come to our station?” the officer explained. Sylvia Luke’s mind raced. A million dollars? What had Emily Anthony gotten herself into? “Where is your office located?” she asked, struggling to keep her voice steady. “Downhills Local Area,” the officer replied. Sylvia Luke muttered an acknowledgment before hanging up. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for whatever awaited her at the station. She grabbed her jacket and hurried out of the house, her pulse quickening with every step. She didn’t see David, her personal driver, in

    She scrolled down to the comment section, her heart sinking further as she read the barrage of supportive messages directed at Ruth Slice. The comments flowed in like a tidal wave: “Ruth Slice’s hubby: I know it was that bitch who seduced Mr. Tony. You’re really nice and kind hearted; you even forgive her and call her sister-in-law! That bitch seduces married men!” “Bitchy: Tsk tsk, you are really nice. You gave up easily! I love your courage—thumbs up! You are my role model from now on.” “Ruth Slice’s daddy: she even seduced other people’s men. Watch out for this whore!” “Anonymous: You are so kindhearted; you should not be like that black-hearted bitch. Keep being kind hearted!” Sylvia Luke laughed, amusement mixed with anger as she read the comments. Kind Hearted? she thought bitterly. Although she had no concrete evidence linking Ruth Slice to her earlier troubles, a nagging feeling told her that Ruth Slice had orchestrated much of the chaos in her life. Her instincts h
