On the other side, a burly man grabbed Phoebe from the ground and barked an order to the others, "Take the body back."

"Let me go!"

"Do you want to die too?!" the man snapped harshly. I

gnoring Phoebe's struggles, he began dragging her away, but a man suddenly stepped in front of him.

"Get out of the way!" the burly man roared at the stranger.

The dim lighting in the bar obscured the stranger's face, but not the bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.

"Let her go." The cold, commanding voice cut through the air like a knife.

Gavin lowered his gaze to the disheveled Phoebe, his entire presence radiating lethal intent.

"Mind your own business!" the man growled impatiently.

"Boss, this guy doesn't look easy to deal with... Look, he's got a whole group of bodyguards with him," one of the lackeys murmured nervously, his eyes darting toward the stoic men standing behind Gavin.

"Useless fool! What's there to be scared of?!" the burly man bellowed, though his expression darkened.

    After Gavin left, Astor didn't follow him. Instead, he walked toward the group of arrogant men who had been causing trouble moments before, raising his gun without hesitation."We're sorry! We're sorry! We were wrong!" they knelt, pleading desperately for their lives."Yes! We were wrong! We didn't want to hurt her! Someone made us do it!"Hearing this, Astor's hand paused.

    "Did you know? He really likes Phoebe," she murmured softly.Titan, lying silently like a loyal listener, rested his head on his paws."I'm so jealous of Phoebe," she whispered to herself. "If only he could like me, even just a little."But deep down, she knew Gavin would never look at her the way he did Phoebe. She tried to console herself: As long as he doesn't hate me, that's enough.Is he back now?What does he do out there every day?She had only overheard bits and pieces from the butler—her brother seemed to be involved in something akin to the mafia.

I'll come visit you again when I can!"She coaxed Titan back into his cage. He whimpered in protest, reluctantly stepping into the enclosure and laying down, his sorrowful gaze fixed on Laura.

    "What... what did you say?" Her voice trembled, and her breathing grew uneven."Take it off!" he ordered, his eyes narrowing dangerously. His fingers gripped her pale wrist, his strength threatening to snap it.Laura followed his gaze to her own arm, her heart pounding in panic. "But... this..."Wasn't this a gift from him? Why would he ask her to take it off? And why did his expression look so terrifying? Had she done something wrong?"It hurts!" she whimpered softly as his grip tightened, pain shooting through her wrist. Instinctively, she tried to break free from his hold, but this side of her brother made her shiver uncontrollably.The pain was excruciating. Laura furrowed her brows tightly, tears brimming in the corners of her eyes.With a forceful shove, Gavin pushed her down, his movements rough and unrelenting. He yanked her pajama pants, leapt from the water, and pinned her beneath him."Ugh!" Laura gasped as her head slammed against the hard floor, a sharp crack echoing in t

    The next morning, at Phoebe's home."Hello! Is this the residence of Miss Phoebe Garcia?""Yes, it is. And you are?" Anila asked, confused by the unexpected visitor so early in the morning."Mr. Alexander Davis, our boss, assigned me to drive your daughter to school. I've been waiting outside for an hour, but she hasn't come out. Is she not attending school today?" the driver replied politely."Alex? You mean my daughter's boyfriend?" Anila paused for a moment before smiling, seemingly realizing something. He's very considerate of her."That's correct. Is she not ready yet?" the driver asked, his gaze briefly sweeping inside the house."Apologies, but Phoebe rushed out after receiving a phone call yesterday. She said a friend was looking for her and didn't even stay for dinner," Anila explained with a hint of concern.The driver froze for a moment. "She didn't come home last night?""That's right! We were worried all night. She didn't answer any of our calls either. We were just about

    "Sir, Miss Laura is here!" The butler said respectfully, standing behind the timid Laura.She kept her head lowered, afraid to raise it because the butler had said she was being brought to see her brother. The memory of his cruelty the night before made her body tremble uncontrollably."Mm, you may leave."The butler bowed and left, leaving Laura alone. She was terrified, and for a moment, she almost ran after him.She truly didn't want to be alone with her brother. The cruel images from last night haunted her, and she could still feel the lingering pain in her wrist."Come here!" His cold voice commanded, filled with authority.Laura's heart skipped a beat, and her feet felt unusually heavy, but she gathered all her courage and slowly walked over."What is it?" she asked in a shaky voice, barely audible."Take good care of her over the next few days, understood?" He didn't even look at Laura, his voice commanding. He seemed to care about her, wanted her here, just so that when she wo

    On the white hospital bed, Phoebe lay quietly, having just woken from a nightmare. In her dream, she had seen Gordon lying in a pool of blood. She was terrified, heartbroken.Slowly opening her eyes, she saw the pale ceiling above her, and the sharp scent of disinfectant filled her nostrils. Looking around, she realized she was in a hospital."You're awake?"A male voice above her caught her attention. She squinted, then opened her eyes wider.Gavin?For some reason, the name kept repeating in her mind.Her memory began to piece itself together, and she recalled the bloody scenes before she passed out.Her eyes turned red instantly, and with a trembling voice, she stared at him, "Where... Where's my brother?"The room was silent except for the sound of their breathing.For the first time, Gavin felt as though his voice had been caught in his throat. He didn't know how to answer. He was afraid of what would happen once she knew the truth, afraid of her reaction.The tightness in his ch

Despite their skillful moves, Alexander quickly took down several of them. For every man he knocked down, more seemed to appear.The corridor quickly filled with people. What started with just seven or eight men soon swelled to dozens, all fighting him at once.Alexander was a trained fighter. Even though he hadn't fought much in recent years, his skills hadn't weakened at all. He was easily handling dozens of men. However, the numbers kept increasing.

    On the other side, Laura returned home, clutching her swollen cheek as she crawled into her bed.Her small face was buried deep into the pillow, her body curled into a ball as if only this could give her a sense of safety. It seemed like this was the only place that could bring her warmth.Her eyes were slightly misted, and she sniffled, thinking of Phoebe in the hospital. She wonders how she's doing now... Has she woken up yet?She longed to be by Phoebe's side, to talk to her. If Phoebe knew that the baby was gone, she would be so heartbroken. Laura wanted to comfort her, but Gavin wouldn't let her stay there. He told her to go home.Her pale fingers gently touched her cheek. She frowned and winced. "Ugh—hurts so much..."Earlier, when she looked at herself in the bathroom mirror, her cheek was so swollen, nearly unrecognizable—red and purple. When Gavin slapped her, her head went fuzzy.

    On the other side, Phoebe found herself unable to decline the task of designing a wedding dress. She had considered resigning, but was told that without her, the project would fall apart entirely. Out of a sense of responsibility, she reluctantly decided to stay.After a few days of deliberation, she resolved to grit her teeth and see it through.The preliminary work was already done, but the latter stages would be more demanding. She needed to take Hermosa's measurements before beginning the actual construction of the dress.Once it was nearly finished, Hermosa would need to try it on again for final adjustments to ensure the gown was flawless.By her estimate, they would only need to meet four or five times in total.All she had to do was treat Hermosa like a stranger.She kept telling herself: "Just get through these days, and it'll all be over."Phoebe comforted herself with this thought.When she met Hermosa again, she exp

    The Next Day – Alexander's OfficeMorning light streamed through the blinds, casting slivers of shadow across Alexander's expansive desk. Seated behind it, he worked intently, his pen gliding across the documents, pausing occasionally to annotate or circle key points.The room was silent except for the faint scratching of the pen against paper and the rhythmic ticking of the clock on the wall.The quiet was broken when the office door creaked open, and Dana stepped inside. His usual nonchalant grin spread across his face as he observed Alexander's focused demeanor.Teasingly, he said, "Boss, so this is how you look when you're working in the office? Quite serious, aren't you?"Alexander paused, setting his pen down deliberately. He raised his eyes slowly, his sharp gaze cutting through the room. "Speak. What is it?"His tone was cold and clipped, like a blade slicing through the air.Unfazed, Dana chuckled. "Boss, you're about to

    "Did Alex invite you here?"Hermosa asked softly, breaking the silence as she glanced at Phoebe. The moment the words left her mouth, she regretted them, feeling they were too abrupt.Phoebe stood frozen in place, her shocked expression revealing she had no idea about Hermosa's identity. Clearly, she had just found out."Though this comes as a surprise, I still want to thank you,"Hermosa said calmly as she took a seat. "I doubt Alex even knows that you're the designer working on my wedding gown."Phoebe sat beside her, gazing at Hermosa up close. A sudden, inexplicable sadness washed over her. Hermosa was stunningly beautiful.Her elegance was entirely different from Melissa's fiery charm—gentle and serene, like water."May I see your designs?"Hermosa's question broke the awkward silence. Normally reserved, Hermosa found herself speaking more than usual in the face of Phoebe's quiet demeanor.She understood why Phoebe

    Office."Sir, we've investigated. She's four months pregnant.""Four months?"Alexander felt his entire body go rigid.The faint spark of hope that had ignited in his heart was extinguished once again.Why not five months?They had been together so many times, and he never used any protection. It would have been natural for her to be carrying his child. Her abdomen had already begun to swell—it didn't seem like a recent pregnancy.But the last time they were together had been five months ago.Damn it. Did this mean the child really wasn't his?His gaze grew ice-cold. Damn it. So it was related to Gavin after all? She had fallen right into Gavin's arms as soon as she left him?The thought of her body being touched by another man—and carrying his child—filled Alexander with a suffocating sense of betrayal.A wave of anger and hurt crushed his chest.He clenched his jaw, his face dark

    It was already late when Phoebe left the company. Just as she reached the entrance, she heard someone call her name."Phoebe."She looked up to see Gavin getting out of a sports car, a smile on his face as he walked toward her.Phoebe smiled and walked toward him."How about some late-night snacks? I can take you to get some now," Gavin said, a playful smile on his lips and his eyes shining brightly like stars."I'd love to," Phoebe replied, grinning. "How about we go to a street vendor?""It's up to you."Phoebe thought for a moment before saying, "Let me think about where to go while we're in the car."After getting out of the car, Phoebe took Gavin's hand and led him toward a small food stall.The place was bustling with people, and the atmosphere was lively. Phoebe casually picked an empty spot and sat down with Gavin.Gavin looked around in surprise; he hadn't expected this place to be so crowded at night.

She didn't want to make things difficult for him; she just wanted to share her thoughts."Gavin, although we don't know exactly what happened before, since you and Phoebe have broken up with Alex and she has chosen you, I believe you must hold a special place in her heart. Our family is quite traditional, and we struggle to accept the idea of having a child before marriage. But since it's already happened, what we want is for our daughter to have a happy future. We want her to marry a good man and build a wonderful family. As for everything else, it doesn't matter to us. We don't care about your background or wealth. We just need one thing from you: can you guarantee a good future for her?""I can," Gavin said firmly."With your word, we'll be at ease. Seeing you both happy will be the greatest comfort for us." Anila continued. "Considering Phoebe is still in school, we think it

"Phoebe, and what's the deal with Alex?"Anila quickly kicked Ryan, signaling him to stop talking.Gavin, however, spoke first. "Uncle, Phoebe and Alex have been separated for a while now. Phoebe didn't want to mention it out of embarrassment, but in fact, we've been together for quite a while."Ryan and Anila exchanged a look, still too shocked to respond."Phoebe, why didn't you say anything?""Forget it, it's your business, and we can't interfere," Anila said. "But you're not even graduated yet. Getting married this soon... that's not going to work.""Aunt, I've thought about that too. But the thing is, Phoebe is pregnant with my child. That's why I've decided we should get married now."Ryan and Anila were stunned into silence by this unexpected revelat
