Zara gritted her teeth. The person who was usually so composed and collected then stubbornly refused to budge. Even though Leah had laid out the whole story clearly and Charvi's silence seemed to confirm it, she would not accept it.

"These are all your guesses!"

Leah could not stand to watch Zara's stubbornness and was about to retort when a calm, emotionless voice cut in, "Zara, he's not worthy of your trust."

It was Shawn, who had been quiet until then. His voice was steady.

The rose petals were scattered at his feet by the wind, a sea of red like a splash of blood.

The moment Zara heard his words, it felt like her insides were doing somersaults. It left her with a pain that made it hard to breathe.

Shawn gazed at her, his eyes the color of warm tea, reflecting her face. They looked as soothing as a gentle hot spring, but his words were as sharp as icicles dangling from a roof's edge.

    Zara tried not to cry. She looked up at the sky, searching for comfort. Was it not just sunny a minute ago? Where did the sun go? How did she suddenly learn the bitter truth? Yosef... Yosef never really loved her, right?She had been nothing but a tool to him for the past three years, and nothing had changed. Why did she let herself fall for him again after it had already ended badly once?Was it because of the crush he had on her back in high school or that old love letter she found?However, if the feelings she saw with her own eyes were fake, what about the ones she never saw? The ones she only heard about from others and those few unclear words of affection? How much of that was even real?Zara tried to pull off the ring, and her throat tightened with effort. The sharp diamond 'V' dug into her skin, drawing blood. However, the ring would not budge.She gritted her teeth, ready to yank it off no matter what. However, Shawn grabbed her wrist and said in a serious tone, "Stop, Za

    Shawn gave Sadie a composed, detached look. As she clapped her hands, it became clear that they were not alone. Hidden friends emerged from the shadows, ready to face off against Yosef's crew.The tension in the air snapped tight like a stretched string.Shawn rose to his feet, his slim yet tall silhouette shielding Zara. "Unless I'm mistaken, I've told you that Zara won't be leaving with you again."Yosef's eyes turned stormy in an instant. "Try me," he challenged.Wilder laughed mockingly and stepped out. "You really think your guys can take mine?"Sadie moved forward without a word, pulling on her training gloves and balling her hands into fists. Her eyes were fierce and focused.Wilder, not taking her seriously, casually took out a piece of bubble gum, unwrapped it with deliberate slowness, and started chewing it. He responsibly put the wrapper back in his pocket."I don't fight women." Wilder pointed at Shawn. "I want to fight you."Shawn remained unfazed, showing Wilder t

    Did Zara get to decide?Was that really supposed to be a choice?Yosef was using her mom to force her hand. What choice did she have but to give in?Zara closed her eyes, feeling dizzy. She took a shaky step toward Yosef.Shawn's grip on her arm slid down to hold her hand, their cold palms touching. Zara looked at him. They did not speak, but their eyes said so much.Yosef stared at them with icy eyes, and his gaze landed on their hands. Zara squeezed her fingers tightly and looked at Yosef again. "If I go with you, will you let my mom go?"Yosef looked away, his lips a straight line. "If you're not coming with me, who will you go with?"Zara yanked her hand from Shawn's and let out a breath. Her face grew pale as she walked toward the garden.Sadie took a step forward, worried. "Mr. Stewart..."Shawn stayed quiet, his eyes following Zara as she left, his face expressionless.Yosef did not look pleased even though he had won. His eyes were ice-cold. "We'll settle this later,"

    Zara bit down hard, trying to push him away, but she could not. Yosef was pressing close, his legs, waist, and chest against hers. His warmth and the clean scent of snow enveloped her, just like when he held her in his arms at night.Especially since Trevor's fall, she had been plagued by sleepless nights. He was always there, holding her, watching over her, and keeping her company. Back then, she felt moved by his presence.However, right now, she felt he was just putting on an act. He was full of schemes. She could not stand his touch and fought even harder to get away."We're not married without a certificate!""You didn't think that way before today," Yosef said, looking into her eyes. "It's because of Shawn, isn't it? Every time you see him, you change your mind and deny everything. It's been ten years. What is it about him that you can't get over?"She had better not hear that he was jealous right now.Zara laughed bitterly. "At least Shawn wouldn't plot and plan against me

    Instead of moving back, Yosef pulled her in closer. "What's wrong with using some tricks to go after the person I like? Didn't you say you understood that adults played games to get what they wanted? Why was it okay for Stanley before but not for me now?"Zara could not believe he was using that as an excuse!"You can't just mix things up! Are these even the same?""Why aren't they?" Yosef's expression was stern. "Plus, didn't you say that everything before we got engaged was forgiven, that it's all in the past?"For the first time ever, Zara was so mad she could not speak. He was brushing it off by saying he was going after the person he liked and that it should all be forgiven! How could he be so bold?!Pretending to be good to win her over, pressuring people, and twisting the truth was all so that he could win her over. It was because he 'liked' her, so he played some 'little tricks'. Even if he went too far, it was because he liked her. She was the one who said that everythi

    Yosef froze for a second, then his features twisted in anger when he got what she meant. He tried to speak, "You're just so..." However, a wave of tightness in his chest cut him off. He started coughing hard.Yosef was visibly upset by Zara, his expression darkening noticeably.Wilder saw things getting out of hand and knew it had to stop. "Yosef, the captain needs you. Why don't you go check it out?"Coughing made Yosef's handsome face go white and his dark eyes stand out. He glared at Zara.It took a moment, but he finally caught his breath and said with a raspy voice, "You'd better stay alive. What's your mom gonna do if you're gone? And your sister, your little niece… You love her, don't you? You're always bringing her presents. If you're not around, we'll have to go after them."Great.Just great.Zara forced a smile. She had nothing left to say, and she did not want to say anything either. She turned and headed back to her room, slamming the door behind her.Yosef bit his

    Five hours later, the plane touched down in Starville. Charvi was there with a whole line of cars to meet them at the airport.Zara headed straight for one of the cars, making sure to sit in the front seat. She made it clear she did not want to be anywhere near Yosef.As soon as she tried to climb into the car, Yosef yanked her into the back seat. She could not break free. Once she was inside, she turned her head away in silence.Charvi asked with caution, "Mr. Webb, are we heading back to East Coast?""Yes," Yosef answered simply.However, Zara protested, "I need to go to the hospital to see my mom."Yosef responded calmly, "She's in the ICU, and you can't go in. Even if you did, what would you do? I won't let you stay with her overnight.""That's for me to decide, not you," Zara snapped back.Yosef challenged, saying, "Try me. We're going back to East Coast."Zara's voice grew louder. "I said, to the hospital!"The driver, following Yosef's orders, set the GPS for East Coas

    The car pulled up to the entrance of the Central Hospital. Zara stepped out, eager to leave. However, Yosef, who had followed her, caught her arm."Yosef!" she protested, trying to pull away. However, he said calmly, "If you want to see your mom, you'll need to work with me."Work with him on what? Zara's brows furrowed, but Yosef did not explain. He just took her hand and led her into the hospital, not letting go even once.As they climbed the steps, a car that had been trailing them came to a stop. The back window rolled down, revealing Yaxley and Chase.They watched the pair walk in together, their gazes lingering until Yosef and Zara disappeared inside the hospital.Yaxley chuckled. "Mr. Webb actually managed to bring Ms. Lowry back. I thought she had taken off with Shawn... Isn't he her first love? Looks like she's decided Mr. Webb is the better choice, after all."Chase played with a string of beads in his hand and said calmly, "She returned because of her mom, which is why

    Harper's kisses were always teasing, intentionally awakening her senses.Their tongues tangled, taking her breath away. When she felt like she could not breathe and instinctively grabbed at his shirt, Harper let go and kissed his way down to her chin, neck, and chest.She could not resist him.Shelby was torn. She did not have to hold back her body's needs and reactions, especially since they could not end their marriage just yet. He was her husband, after all, so why should she deny herself? She decided to make the most of it.Men could easily separate love from physical desire, and women could too. Shelby did not think that accepting Harper's touches meant she liked him. It was just about meeting a need.She would just get that over with.Shelby's fingers gripped the sheets tightly as Harper kissed her growing belly. She was six months along, and her belly was a little bigger. The thought of their child made his heart melt, and he kissed her several more times before suddenly s

    Shelby made a sound of agreement, her back sore from sitting too long. She leaned back against Harper without much thought. She was busy with her work and not in the mood for conversation.Harper quickly got the gist of the case file. In short, it was a classic example of someone facing the consequences of their own actions.In the western part of Starville, there was a middle school and a vocational school. The two schools were just a street apart. Not all, but at least 80% of the vocational school students were troublemakers.One of those students, Yered, often rounded up his gang to shake down the middle school kids for their money.Since last year, the bullies had been targeting Steven Scott, a middle schooler. They would often demand money from him. Steven was shy and scared, so he never stood up to them and just handed over the cash.However, this time, as he was walking with a girl from his class, the bullies blocked their path again. They started to pick on the girl becaus

    Samantha was really happy. She lifted her finger elegantly and said softly, "One step at a time. First, we'll make sure the child is gone. Then, we'll push them to divorce, and in the end, when she's weak from losing the baby, we'll take care of her." If Shelby died as Harper's wife, then Harper would get everything, and that would be bad. The two women agreed. While reclining on their bamboo chairs, they started dreaming about their perfect future—one with the Young family and the other with all the money. Since the foot masseuse could not hear or speak, they talked freely, not worried about anyone overhearing them. After the massage, they even went to eat together. The masseuse quietly cleaned up and tidied the room. Then, she headed straight for the lookout point. The resort was in the mountains, with lots of trees and streams. The lookout was up high, with a great view of all the little mountains. It was a beautiful spot that every guest at the hotel made sure to visit.

    Adalee was doubtful. "Is it really that serious? Our husband doesn't like that dowdy wife or the eldest son. Even if he's started to favor Harper more because of his marriage to the Lambert family, that still won't affect our children.""Our husband used to leave the company matters to our sons, but now he's handing them over to Harper. Who knows what the future holds?" Samantha said with a hint of malice. "We can't take that risk. We can't let Harper get too much leverage. We can't let him and his child have too great a chance to win."Adalee could see Samantha was desperate and asked anxiously, "What are you thinking of doing? She's a lawyer. She knows the law, and she's the sole heir to the Lambert family."Samantha's eyes suddenly became slits. "That's right, she's the only one who will inherit the Lambert family's fortune. With that kind of money, there are loads of people who want to trick her or get their hands on it. "She's a lawyer, not a superhero. Just wait. I'll make

    It was Shelby's first visit to the Youngs' place, and by chance, she walked in on his father's so-called second and third wives being snide to Harper. His dad had not lifted a finger to help. It seemed like this was not a one-off occurrence.Was that the way they always treated him?Harper, taken aback by her blunt question, nearly slammed on the brakes. What?"Me, being pushed around in the family? That's just because I can't be bothered..." Who would waste their time arguing with a bunch of women or stoop so low as to fight with their dad's other women? That would be so embarrassing, right?However, he stopped himself mid-sentence.Because he suddenly realized that by saying that, he was making it sound like he felt bad for being 'picked on' at home.Harper slowed the car down and glanced at Shelby. Her eyebrows were knitted together, and she looked really serious. She was definitely not happy.He almost smiled, but he pushed it back down. He swallowed hard and changed his voi

    She faced Samantha, not bothering to argue about inheritance rights. "You still haven't answered my earlier question. What does 'stepmother' mean?"Caught off guard by the sudden shift back to the topic, Samantha was momentarily speechless.Shelby did not wait for her to catch up. She pulled out her phone and quickly tapped the screen."Ah, I see," Shelby remarked, glancing at her phone. "According to this, 'stepmother' used to refer to a concubine in ancient times. That's similar to a servant, isn't it? So, in modern terms, it's like a maid. "Got it now. Would you mind getting me some salad? Thanks."The nerve of her, treating Samantha like a common maid! She had never been so insulted. "You!"Shelby set her phone down and met her gaze. "Since you're so curious, I'll fill you in. In the Lambert family, my word is law. If you're ever curious about me again, just ask me directly. No need to rely on rumors."Samantha bit her lip and looked to Gilbert for support, but he just sat

    It was Shelby.Pregnant and in flats, she stood firm with not a hint of weakness about her.Her steady gaze fell on the two women who fancied themselves important, leaving them at a loss for words.Harper paused for just a moment, then quickly got to his feet and hurried over. "Dear!"The Young family's house was bright and airy. Harper's eyes sparkled with the unexpected joy of seeing Shelby, who had said she would not come. His face lit up with a smile.Shelby watched him, amused. She thought he was like their excited Shiba Inu, dashing over at the sight of its owner.Harper reached her side, calling out again, "Dear."Shelby gave a small nod. "Yeah."The guests at the dining table snapped out of their surprise, and Wrenley beamed. "Shelby, you're here."Shelby greeted her parents-in-law, "Mom, Dad."Wrenley hurried over to help her, her actions showing just how much she cherished her daughter-in-law.That was Shelby's first visit to the Young family since her wedding. She

    Harper waited until Wrenley had said enough, andthen he spoke up."I just don't get you. Your family's loaded, my grandparents are laidback, and Dad doesn't even like you. Why stick to him? Just divorce him, take half his stuff, go home, and hang out with some young models. "That'd be way better than sticking to a lost cause. You've got no ambition."If it were Shelby, she would have left by then if he had not trapped her by getting her pregnant and holding something over her head. Why couldn't his mom be more like his wife?"In your dreams!"Wrenley, with tears in her eyes, scoffed. "The Young family wasn't always so fancy. I married him, and he promised me the moon. 'A good wife helps me reach my dreams, and I'll pay her back in gold.' And then what? "Once the Young family made it big, he just kept bringing in more women and their kids. How can I accept that? I'll fight him to the end, even if it kills me!"Harper sighed. "You want to fight him, I don't. Shelby and her baby

    "An old friend?" Zara questioned. "If an old friend wanted to see me, they should be visiting the cemetery, not here."Only a very few people knew she was still alive.Shawn asked, "Is it a man or a woman?""A young man. He also said something else...""What did he say?"The butler hesitated, then relayed, "He said... The miss tricked him, and now she owes him for it."Zara was speechless.The garden fell silent for a moment, with only the whisper of the summer wind rustling through the flowers.Seconds later, Shawn set aside his tablet and smiled slightly. "Really? That sounds fun. Get him to come in. I'd like to meet him too."Zara had thought it was just a joke, but when the butler led the visitor in, she stood up in astonishment.It was him!...In Parnova, the sun shone brightly.However, in Starville, the weather was turning.The sky had been clear when Harper left home in the morning. However, when he reached the Youngs' place at noon, he saw the sun hidden behind
