Victor always tried to convince himself and others that the only reason he helped Nadia was because he didn’t want to lose her as free labor. Dylan used to think the same way. But after falling for Suzy, he finally understood that Victor was exactly like him. There was no point arguing with some
An unexpected announcement nearly drove both men to the edge, especially Dylan. He stormed into Hillside Villa, his voice sharp as he demanded, "You’re getting engaged to Allen?" "Any problem with that?" Suzy replied nonchalantly, nibbling on a chicken wing. "Or are you here to congratulate me?"
“No matter what, we absolutely cannot let them get engaged!” Hawk was the first to approach Dylan, making his intentions clear. Dylan’s eyes darkened slightly. “What do you plan to do?” “What do you think?” Hawk sneered coldly. “The rivalry between you and me has nothing to do with Allen. He d
The drunken Riley, hypnotized by Hawk, was made to disguise herself as Suzy and sent to Allen’s place. Allen hadn’t gone to bed yet. Hearing the knock at the door, he hurried downstairs. “Who is it?” “It’s me!” Hawk even altered Riley’s voice, making it sound identical to Suzy’s. The moment
Allen hadn’t seen who closed the door earlier, but the faint trace of a familiar, subtle natural remedy fragrant lingering in the air made it clear that Suzy had been there.Damn it. If it weren’t for Riley reeking of alcohol last night, he would’ve realized sooner. Hearing that Suzy had been ther
Suzy was irritated just looking at the two of them. “Do you think ruining the engagement party means I’ll be forced to choose one of you?” Pointing at Hawk, she snapped, “I’ve told you, there’s no chance for us—not in this lifetime!” Then she turned to Dylan. “And you? I don’t go back to old fla
Allen was left speechless.For some reason, Riley’s comment about him not being her first man ignited a strange discomfort in Allen, like a fire smoldering in his chest. “You go on and on about liking me, yet you gave yourself to someone else? Your love is truly one of a kind,” he said, his tone s
The girl’s name was Yara Warran, a thoughtful and hardworking young woman. Since moving into the Hillside Villa, she had been like a little helper whenever Suzy was home, always bringing her tea or water with a cheerful smile. Today was no different. The moment Suzy walked in from work, Yara hur
Finally, Drake stirred as if waking from a nap, letting out a yawn before speaking. "What did you just say?"It had to be said—Drake’s voice was surprisingly pleasant. Deep and rich, like the sound of a cello.Still, Suzy didn’t hold much hope for his appearance.After all, men in the underworld usu
Drake?The name alone carried an air of intimidation. "If that’s the case, then I might as well meet him," Suzy thought. "Who knows? I might even be able to use him." With that in mind, Suzy ignored the couple, allowing them to carry her to the car in the dead of night. The two seemed complete
Victor thought Dylan was wallowing in his emotions, but in reality, Dylan was busy tracking down Suzy’s whereabouts. Despite his efforts, he couldn’t uncover even the smallest trace. It was as if she were intentionally hiding herself. …And Dylan was right—Suzy was indeed deliberately concealing
Victor’s simple statement that Suzy was gone hit Dylan like a blow, nearly stopping his heart.He knew exactly what her silent departure meant, more clearly than anyone else.Even though he thought he was prepared for this moment, when it actually happened, he found himself unable to accept it.Her
Back in his room, Dylan struggled to calm the storm raging in his mind. He knew his avoidance would only leave Suzy disappointed and angry, but he genuinely didn’t want to drag her down with him. Unable to sleep, he tossed and turned until he finally gave in and drank a bit of alcohol to settle
“I want to!” Allen replied urgently. “Riley asked me the same question, and I already told her that no matter what, even if there’s no baby, I still want to marry her.”“Is that really the truth?” Suzy pressed.“Of course!” Allen answered without hesitation. “I’ve never taken this lightly. When I sa
Back in her room, Suzy couldn’t stop replaying the image of Dylan avoiding her. The truth was, she didn’t truly want to reconcile with him. Even if it was for Grace and Diana, it wasn’t something she felt compelled to do.The real reason she had gone through all this trouble was that she didn’t wa
Dylan never expected that Suzy and Helena were working together! Everything—the drama, the accusations—was all an act orchestrated by Suzy to force his hand. She had teamed up with Helena to pull off this elaborate show. It wasn’t hard for Dylan to see through Suzy’s intentions after all this ef
As Dylan and Victor stepped out, they saw Helena standing in front of Suzy's door, alternately pounding on it with her hands and kicking it with her feet. "Suzy, you won’t open the door because you’re guilty, aren’t you?" Helena yelled, her voice dripping with rage. "Of course you are! You played t
