For three years of marriage, she had been nothing more than a shadow in his life. To him, she was invisible, a convenience he sought only when it suited him. He gave her no love, no affection—only physical on his terms when other women failed to satisfy him. When Enlyan discovered her pregnancy, she was overjoyed, hoping it might bring them closer. But her happiness shattered when she found him at the hospital with his lover for a maternity checkup. She finally asked for a divorce and vanished. Heartbroken and distracted, she met with tragedy—an accident that almost claimed her unborn child. Five years later, Enlyan returns with her twins. "They are my children!" Damian's voice thundered, his eyes blazing with fury. "You dared to hide them from me all this time? I’m taking them away from you. They belong with me." Damian Blackwood growled, his intention turning cruel. And She was powerless against his anger.
View MoreElayna slid down against the door, her body trembling as she struggled to gather herself. The weight of everything that had just happened pressed down on her, leaving her momentarily lost in thought.Then, her phone rang.The name on the screen made her finally smile."Austin," she answered in a softer voice, warmth slipping into her tone.Austin White—the man who had saved her five years ago. The man who had given her a new identity, a new life.He had been her anchor when she had nothing, training her until she became a well-known designer, helping her stand on her own feet and build a life for herself and her child.She owed him everything.On the other end of the call, Austin’s voice was steady, yet laced with concern. "How are things? Are you settling in? He didn’t make things difficult for you, did he?"Austin had never wanted her to return. He knew how deep her hatred for Daimon ran, but he also knew that without closure, she would never be at peace. And beyond her revenge, the
Daimon’s eyes narrowed.Without hesitation, he scanned the area—and sure enough, in the distance, a shadowy figure hurriedly ducked into a corner.Not surprising.Katrina was predictable.His face darkened as he turned to her. "Go home. You’re making a fool of yourself.""No! It’s not like that! I don’t know what she’s talking about!" Katrina protested, but the more she spoke, the worse it sounded.She had counted on Daimon not questioning her, on him dismissing Enlyan’s accusations as nonsense.But now, things weren’t going according to plan.Still, she wasn’t going to let Enlyan win.The paparazzi wouldn’t admit they were hired.And as long as she kept denying it, there was no proof against her.She just needed to hold her ground.Enlyan had no patience for Katrina’s act.“Save the tricks for someone who cares. If you have an issue with me, just say it directly. As for you, Mr. Blackwood, I expect compensation for what happened today. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m tired.”Without wa
Enlyan didn’t hesitate. She took a step back, adjusting her wrinkled blouse while forcing her breath to steady. She needed to remain in control.Daimon took a slow step forward, and despite herself, Enlyan felt her breath hitch. His presence was overwhelming, his gaze burning into her like he was stripping away every layer of her disguise.Daimon glared at her, his eyes sharp and filled with warning."Play whatever tricks you want, but I’m not falling for them. Now tell me—who are you? What do you really want?"Despite the pain coursing through him, his dominant presence didn’t waver.Enlyan’s heart pounded in her chest, her head throbbing.How could he still be this intimidating after that?Daimon Blackwood was truly ruthless.Quickly, she adjusted her pajama top and took a step back, putting distance between them. Her expression turned cold and guarded."Mr. Blackwood, you really love making demands, don’t you?" she scoffed. "You barge into my home, manhandle me, and then question m
Enlyan appeared, her fluffy hair unkempt, wearing loose pajamas and barefoot. Yet, despite her casual appearance, she looked as stunning as ever."Come on, stop jerking around," she said nonchalantly, her voice smooth and playful.Daimon froze. The laziness in her tone, the casualness of her demeanor—it all reminded him so much of Enlyan."Enlyan..." he whispered, his voice thick with disbelief.Enlyan stood frozen, utterly shocked to see him standing at her doorstep. How could it be him?She had known that staying at Mini’s house might raise Daimon’s suspicions, but she never expected him to track her down so quickly. Panic surged through her, but she forced herself to remain composed. Straightening her posture, she tugged at the collar of her loose pajama top and cleared her throat before speaking."Mr. Blackwood? Why are you here? How did you find my address?"The formal tone of “Mr. Blackwood” seemed to snap Daimon back to reality. His narrowed gaze locked onto her, scrutinizing h
Enlyan leaned against the sink and pressed the cold ice pack to her face, not because of the physical pain but because of the turmoil in her mind. As the cold numbed her skin, her thoughts spun in a circle. Katrina had given birth to Daimon’s son, yet she wasn’t his wife.Why?Katrina should have been a guaranteed step toward cementing her place in the Blackwood family, yet she wasn’t. Enlyan couldn’t understand it. Daimon had feelings for Katrina, after all. He’d even gone so far as to contemplate murdering his wife for her. So, what was stopping him from marrying her? Why hadn’t Daimon made Katrina Mrs. Blackwood yet?Enlyan needed more information before making any decisions, but before anything else, she had some unfinished business with Katrina to take care of. She wasn’t in the mood to think about Daimon’s possible plans; his temptation to destroy her could wait.What mattered now was getting back at Katrina. Enlyan knew Daimon was serious about working with her company, and he
To outsiders, Daimon was a generous partner, providing for Katrina in every material way, yet the emotional void between them remained unbearable. What Katrina longed for was simple—to be more than just a caregiver for his son. She wanted to be his wife, to be the one he loved, the one he needed.But Daimon kept his distance. No matter how hard she tried, no matter how many subtle advances she made, she was always left in the shadows, locked out of his heart and his life. She wasn’t allowed in his bedroom, and her place in his world was cold and distant. He never acknowledged her beyond what was necessary for Oasis's sake.Now, the thought of leaving the Blackwood family, the family she had fought so hard to be a part of, filled Katrina with dread. Without Oasis, without the title of "mother of his son," what would she have left? Daimon’s indifference had chipped away at her sense of self, and the thought of facing the world without him by her side was a nightmare she wasn’t sure she
Daimon stood frozen, his mind racing as he processed what was happening.It’s her?He thought, his eyes widening slightly in surprise. Iris? The woman who shares not only the same name but also looks like Enlyan?However, the shock didn’t last long. He quickly composed himself, his professionalism taking over."Yes, I'm Daimon Blackwood," he said, his voice steady but apologetic. "I owe you an apology for her behavior just now. It was a misunderstanding. Katrina isn’t part of our company—she's just... my family.".The word "family" cut through Enlyan like a knife, reopening old wounds she had worked hard to heal. Her heart tightened, the fresh pain flooding back."Family?" she scoffed, her voice laced with bitterness. "Even your family doesn’t welcome me. Mr. Blackwood, how do you expect me to believe your company is sincere in this collaboration?"She paused, locking eyes with him. "Blackwood isn’t the only option for our company. I think we both need to reconsider."Without another
Meanwhile, Enlyan made her way toward Blackwood Corporation.Eight years ago, she had married Daimon.Five years ago, she had been forced to leave.As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Blackwood Family, as Daimon's wife, she had never once stepped into this company.Now, she was returning—as a stranger.Would Daimon be able to sleep at night when he saw her real name in his company?Enlyan’s lips curved slightly.A flicker of hatred flashed in her eyes.But she quickly calmed herself, keeping her expression neutral as she stepped through the grand front gates of the company.The moment she entered, a receptionist approached her with a professional smile."Ma’am, how can I help you?"Enlyan took a quick glance around the welcoming hall, its modern elegance exuding wealth and power."Magnificent," she thought to herself.Blackwood Corporation was indeed one of the city’s top enterprises.But would it stay that way now that she was back?She turned to the receptionist, her smile composed
Meanwhile…Joxan collapsed into his chair, exhaling sharply.Damn it.So his unreliable dad wasn’t a total fool.Joxan had almost exposed himself. He’d have to be more careful next time.Just then—Knock. Knock."Jo, dinner’s ready."Joxan nearly jumped out of his skin.Crap.Quickly, he shut down the computer and took a deep breath. "Got it. Right away, Mum." He forced his voice to sound calm and lazy.Enlyan opened the door. Her eyes narrowed when she spotted the video game running on his screen.She sighed. "No video games, Joxan. I told you before, but you never listen."Then she added, "Also, apologize to Auntie Mini later. Do you understand?"Joxan scowled.Apologize?To that old hag?No way!“She came at me first.”Joxan’s voice held a trace of grievance, his beautiful eyes locking onto Enlyan’s with an expression that was almost pitiful.Enlyan knew better. This little brat was faking it.Still… she couldn’t help but soften just a little.Shaking her head, she sighed. "That's
"Miss Carter, congratulations—you’re eight weeks pregnant," the doctor announced with a warm smile. Enlyan’s heart soared as if it had grown wings. Joy surged through her, filling every corner of her being."Thank you so much, Doctor,"She said, her voice trembling with excitement. She quickly grabbed her report and stepped out of the office, her thoughts swirling with happiness.Enlyan had married Damian for three years and now they finally had their first child.Enlyan and Damian’s marriage was never built on love. It was an arrangement, a contract between two families. The idea of love or personal happiness had no place in the deal.For Enlyan, however, the situation wasn’t for business.She had harbored feelings for Damian long before their wedding. His charisma, intelligence, and commanding presence had drawn her in, and when their parents proposed the marriage, she agreed without hesitation. She believed that over time, her devotion and care would win his heart.But Damian had b...
