2025-02-09 20:30:24What no one knew was that Noémi had heard every single word Isabella had spoken—all the crude, cutting remarks directed at her. And in that moment, she realized that Isabella couldn’t be the only one who held such an opinion of her.
What if other members of the family thought the same?
What if Mr. Halest agreed with his sister’s accusations?
Of course, Noémi had no interest in the Halest family’s fortune or wealth, but how could she possibly explain that to every single person? Would she have to prove her innocence and intentions every time someone raised a finger at her? Was there a way to avoid all of this altogether?
————
Later that night, after everyone had retired to their rooms, Noémi stepped out of hers and found herself standing outside Ajax’s door.
She wasn’t sure if he would even be there, but his bedro

The next morning, when Noémi woke to the gentle rays of the sun caressing her skin, she stifled a yawn with the back of her hand and sat up, stretching her arms.Her eyebrows shot up to her forehead the moment her gaze landed on Ajax—fast asleep on the couch that was far too small for his tall frame. A throw pillow was shoved under his head, while his torso was curled slightly against the freezing temperature of the room. He was still dressed in the same clothes she had seen him in the previous night, and with the way his eyes remained shut—soft breaths escaping his lips—it was clear he was deep in sleep.After he had left the room last night, she hadn’t been able to fall asleep for a long while. But when she finally did, she was out like a light. She wondered what time he had returned. She wondered how long he had been awake.As soon as those questions formed in her head, a wave of guilt washed over her.First things first,

"Nothing!" Aunt Isabella didn’t even glance at her younger nephew. Her full attention remained on Noémi. "I was just asking Madam Rochester what the hell she was doing in Ajax’s bedroom. Were you in there all night? Answer me!"If Vincent found the situation unusual, he didn’t show it. Instead, he stormed over and placed himself between his aunt and Noémi, effectively shielding her from Isabella’s scrutiny."I thought Ajax made it clear yesterday—No one is to slander her. Did you forget already?" he said, his voice laced with warning."I’m just trying to get the truth out of her—her true intentions, that is," Isabella hissed, tilting her head in an attempt to look past Vincent at Noémi. "If she’s only here to deliver a baby, then why is she trying to get close to your brother? Ask her! It’s obvio

Noémie found it arduous to determine what hurt her the most—the accusations hurled by the aunt or Ajax’s indifferent attitude. She thought it was both. Both of them wounded her deeply. But the way Ajax responded—or rather, didn’t respond—skewered her heart like a blade.But what had she even expected? For him to take her side? His aunt wasn’t wrong when she called her a nobody. She was nothing to him. And he shouldn’t be anything to her either. He had taken advantage of her. He had ruined her life. So why did she keep forgetting that? Why did she keep overlooking the suffering that had torn her away from the people she loved—her friends, her family?Tears continued to spill from her eyes. No matter how hard she tried to pull herself together—scolding herself for having even the slightest expectations from anyone but herself—the tears only multiplied. Her heart only sank deeper, the invisible blade twisting cruelly.A few minutes ago, when Vincent pounded on the door, demanding to be l

Noémie’s head felt too heavy for her shoulders. With no clue what was happening, all she could do was breathe and stare into nothing. Even long after Ajax had left, his words lingered in the air, sending shockwaves down her spine. The way he had spoken—the finality in his tone—made it clear she wasn’t entitled to a choice or an opinion on the matter.Was she?It didn’t seem like it.Still, it would be a lie to say that part of her wasn’t relieved to hear they were leaving. But given the recent history between them, another part of her was suddenly terrified. She wondered who else would be joining them. Surely, Mrs. Halest wouldn’t entrust her to his care… Did he even know how to care for someone? Not that she needed much attention so early in the pregnancy. But still. The thought unsettled her. What would she do in an emergency? Whom would she turn to if she wanted to share something—something she would feel incredibly awkward discussing with any man on earth?Dinner only made her fee

A wave of nausea engulfed Noémie as they drove through the familiar roads of the city. The pictures of the models had changed, but the signboards remained the same. The faces of the people were still a passing memory, but the feeling of belonging—and being part of the crowd—felt just the same.Noémie did a double take when their car passed a familiar building—a multi-cuisine restaurant where she had treated her younger sister, Claudia, on the day she graduated. It had been a pleasant day. It was rare for her entire family to gather for an occasion, with everyone caught up in their own priorities, but that day, everyone had looked happy. Claudia had cut the cake and introduced her boyfriend to the family for the first time.Thinking about her family brought a fresh pang to Noémie’s heart. Her vision blurred, and tears soaked her lashes. She had yet to contact her sister and tell her about her return. Even after a week of staying at the main Halest Villa, she hadn’t been able to muster

One week had passed, and Noémie had yet to figure out how the hell Ajax knew about her dream house. She had tried to ask—the most straightforward way to approach him—but the moment he appeared in front of her, her tongue would curl back, and words would suddenly feel inaccurate and insufficient for one reason or another.It wasn’t as if they hadn’t talked at all in the past seven days. Noémie had never known Ajax to be much of a talker, but he was certainly capable of holding a conversation. His usual responses to any offhanded question ranged from yes, no, or maybe. Although, it was the humming that she found particularly vexing.To Noémie’s surprise, Ajax had started working from home. Many times, she would walk out of her room only to bump into a new face almost every day. The entire second floor seemed to be reserved for office work. The constant tapping of shoes and heels kept the house noisy until six in the evening. After that, silence would once again settle over the place, in

A huge grin spread across her pink lips as Ajax helped her climb out of the car.The strong aroma of coffee and pastries greeted them with a grand jingle the moment the door opened. They took a seat at a table near the window. Ajax removed his suit jacket and draped it over the back of his chair. After ordering an aromatic frappe for Noémie and a plain black coffee for himself, he also picked out some cupcakes and croissants on the side.When the barista left, Ajax set his phone aside and laced his fingers together on the tabletop. “Mom called yesterday,” he began. “She invited us to dinner this Saturday. Do you want to go?”“Sure, why not?” Noémie didn’t see any issue with it. At least, not unless Aunt Isabella had permanently moved in—now that would be a problem. “What’s the occasion?”Ajax opened his mouth to respond when his phone suddenly blasted beside him. Frowning, he glanced at the screen and let out a deep sigh. “I need to take this,” he said, already rising to his feet. “Do

The entire way back home, Noémie felt as if she were about to combust—with questions. She had so many of them. But the only reason she held herself back from bombarding Ajax was that he had yet to calm down.The moment Olivia ran out of the café, sobbing and sputtering frantic apologies, Ajax grabbed Noémie’s hand and led her to the car. She hadn’t even gotten the chance to apologize to the server standing to the side, their orders still in his hands.No words. Nothing. Ajax didn’t feel the need to say anything at all. He kept his mouth tightly shut, as if speaking would make him explode—or worse, make him punch someone until their teeth shattered. And for obvious reasons, Noémie had no desire to be on the receiving end of that.She thought she at least deserved an explanation. But the longer the silence stretched, her resolve to get answers simmered down. Not because her curiosity had vanished—no, she could assure you that wasn’t the case—but because genuine concern started to creep

Claire hadn’t expected Vincent to prepare the contract so soon. It took her by surprise when the same delivery men appeared at her grandma’s place the next day and brought her back to the old Halest Villa.According to the giant clock hung in the drawing room, it was exactly 9 o’clock in the morning. The old Halest Villa was dreadfully quieter than the previous day. The maids and guards were the only people she noticed since the moment she walked in and took a seat on the couch, waiting for Vincent to make an appearance.Claire was nervous. Her legs were shaking with anxiousness after every passing second. The conversation she had with Marvin the previous day didn’t make her feel any better either. It made her feel even worse. She knew she shouldn’t be hiding something so important from Vincent—especi

[Nine Months Ago]A man in a white lab coat punched a six-digit code and waited calmly as the heavy metal door groaned and slowly slid open. Behind him, two tall and hefty men stood. One of them carried an unconscious woman in his arms.The door revealed a restless lab, with men in similar lab coats bustling here and there. The pungent scent of chemicals and something acidic hung heavy in the air.As the three men entered the lab, the man in the lab coat paused and lifted a hand to guide the two large men.“Take her to cube number five,” the man said, and without waiting for a response, headed in the opposite direction.The two hefty men followed the order and stationed the unconsci

Marvin pursed his lips, settling back in his seat and crossing his arms over his chest. “Fine. Let’s talk about something else, then.”Just by the shift in his tone, Claire could tell what was coming next.“Would you like to explain that video about your pregnancy?”“Not really.”“Claire!”Claire groaned and held her head in her hands. “Why do you even care?”“You’re doing that to get that Halest boy, aren’t you?”“So what?”“You need to let him go!”“I can’t. You know I…I can’t do that.” How could he even ask her such a thing?“It’s not fair to him, Claire. He doesn’t know—”“He doesn’t have to know.”“Claire!” He leaned forward, his gaze hopeful and brimmed with concern. “Don’t do this. You’re just hurting yourself. And him. It’s not fair…” He reached out and cupped the back of her hand with his. “…to you, too.”Claire yanked her hand away. “Drop the act, Marvin. We both know you don’t give a crap about me.”“I don’t know what I’ve done to make you feel like this.”“Are you serious?

The second the elevator doors of Grandma’s apartment building opened, Claire groaned at the sight of Marvin, her older brother. God, what was he doing here? she thought to herself.After the intense conversation with Vincent, the exact delivery guys dropped her back at the place they picked her up from.“What are you doing here?” she asked exasperatedly as she shuffled out of the elevator while rubbing her temple.At the sight of her, Marvin peeled his back off the wall and stood up straighter. “I’ve been out here for almost an hour,” he grumbled. “Where have you been?” Adjusting the collar of his shirt, he demanded with a deep frown.“First off, that’s not the answer to my question,” she paused in front of him to fix him with an annoyed look. “And second, why are you outside again?”In response to her question, Marvin only sighed deeply in his chest, scratching the back of his neck. “She won’t let me in,” he muttered with a shake of his head, clearly talking about Grandma. “I would h

“Not to me, but to yourself.” Stepping away, he yanked her hands away from his shirt. “You always tell yourself these sweet lies and find comfort in them, Claire. You think you’ve changed, but you’re still the same.” Turning on his heels, he ran a hand through his hair. Frustrated.“Vincent…”“This time you went too far, Claire. Too far. You dragged my family into this. I’m not sure if I can ever forgive you for misleading them with your fucked-up lies.”“Don’t say that, Vince. I did this for you. For us.”“Stop it, Claire!” He snapped, wanting nothing more than to yank his hair out. “Just stop it!”Rushing to him, she hugged him from behind. More tears flowed through her red-rimmed eyes. “I know what I did

Claire knew she had gone too far. She knew what came out of her mouth was bound to fuck everything up. Even more than her situation already was. Vince would hate her. He didn’t have to spell it out for her to know she was only worsening her impression in his eyes.What other choice did she have, though?She was running out of not only time, but also options. Patience was her least remarkable character trait, after all. And when it came to Vincent, her patience grew even thinner. So much time she had already wasted in coming to her senses that now every second she had to stay away from him felt like a stab of the knife straight to her heart.Perhaps that was the reason that when Ajax dismissed her and she was led out of the study by a maid, she wasn’t surprised—or let out even a squeak in protest—when Vincent grabbed her by the arm and dragged her into the closest empty room.

[Six Months Ago]After seeing off her husband at the airport for a two-days business trip, when a woman named Susan Green returned to her apartment, she barely kicked off her shoes and filled herself with a glass of water when a knock on the door arrived.Unsure of who it might be at the lunch hour, she opened the door only to find no one outside.Susan frowned. She was pretty sure she had heard the knock. Not once. Not twice. But thrice. Someone had knocked at the door thrice. Wondering if the kids in the building had once again picked up the bad habit of annoying the random neighbours, she closed the door and locked it.However, just when she hoped to get back to the kitchen counter and grab herself a glass of water, her gaze fell on the yellow manila envelope on the floor. It looked like someone had slipped it inside from under the door

Claire did as she was told. Quietly, she pulled the back of the chair and sat down with her fingers tightly laced with each other.For a long minute, no one said anything. The only sound in the room seemed to be the ticking of the clock. The tension in the room felt tighter and thicker than she had ever experienced. When someone did speak, it came from her left where Sonia Halest sat.“Is it true?” The older woman asked with a frown.Before Claire could clarify what the question was regarding, Vincent beat her to it.“Of course, it’s not!” He snapped, pounding a fist on the desk and glaring at Ajax. “Did you even hear a word I said? It’s all a lie. There’s nothing between us.”“Vince…” Claire tried to say when he spun his head and glared at her.

Claire sighed into her chest and felt her back slump against the door. Her heart ached to see him this mad at her. She wondered what could she possibly do to make things back to normal between them.On second thought, things had never been normal between them. Perhaps that was the reason she felt so clueless and hopeless and helpless. She did not have a single clue what could she say or do to make him love her the way he did once. Had she taken too long to come to her senses? Was it possible that he liked someone else now?Claire hated the idea of Vince being with some other woman. No. That would not do. He only belonged to her. He only loved her. Sure, he was refusing to admit that right now, but she wasn’t planning on giving up on them soon. She would make him hers, no matter what price she had to pay.With that determination in her heart, she sucked in another deep breath
