Lenka

Even after I resisted them, the maids still treated me coldly. I knew I was not a suitable madam for them. I had many flaws.

A dump woman and possessed of tremendous lousy luck.

I was at peace in these few days without meeting Michael, who would go crazy and then speak poison from his mouth. I wasn't waiting for him, hoping he wouldn't return here until I had left to taunt him.

No matter how hard I tried, it was hard to break this tight situation. I remembered my father's words, calm down, be quiet, and I'll find the answer.

Dad, I'm not sure about that.

Powerlessness is so debilitating, and the anger inside me has erased the love for the past two years. 

I noticed that this place became quiet. I grabbed the scarf and put it on quickly, making the door open to be unlocked.

I was surprised but wary of the following situation I received; I went out and, while walking, met a guard. I'm sure he saw me but ignored me. The rules may have come back out of Michael's mouth so I could walk without being stopped by them.

I don't understand what is happening to Michael, but at least now that I'm in the garden, I'm out in the open, and it's different than just staying in my room. In fact, this made my chest feel a little more relieved.

I've been looking around, and you know that I can't even get out of this place. The guards have one gun on their waist and one shock device on the other. And I am sure that when they catch me, they will do it violently.

For a moment, I felt calmer. Sitting on the wooden swing, my favorite place since I came here. Swinging and swinging make my body lighter, and the wind blows over my body.

The wind got stronger and made the scarf I was wearing fly randomly, falling at the feet of a servant passing by. I thought about picking it up earlier but exhaled.

I looked at her, the maid who was looking at me and not doing her job correctly.

She was ignoring the gesture I made. Just then, I realized that another figure was there. She approached, and her footsteps stopped on my scarf. Just like him, she is also a source of trouble.

A dumpster cannot fight back.

"Lenka, you're actually here." She laughed while touching her lips.

It wasn't pity but mockery for seeing me weaker than her.

Ava was a beautiful woman with long hair above her chest, lustrous eyelashes, and a sweet smile that seemed angelic. But in reality, she was a demon in disguise. It was a phenomenal pairing because they complemented each other.

I got off the swing and looked at her. Lowering myself to pick up my scarf because it was my father's gift. But the woman kept stepping on it. From different corners of our eyes, we looked at each other.

"Shouldn't you say please? Or should I say, excuse me since you're in my place?" She moved her shoulders and hands slightly.

Amazing. I salute her confidence because she could already claim this house as hers even before the marriage happened.

I stood up straight. [Miss Ava, please step aside]

She raised one eyebrow.

[I want to take my scarf]

The pretty face that had become so stern, she just wanted to play with me. "Speak up! Do you think I  want to occupy myself by reading your stupid hand gestures?"

She just wanted to make fun of me and show that I was helpless in front of her. The foot that stepped on it moved around, making my scarf even dirtier.

I don't know if gods are real because they have made me experience this while rotten humans like them get a better life.

I couldn't make a sound, so I tried to hold her hand and beg her not to do that. But she pushed me to the ground.

My hair was messed up by the strong wind. His feet were moving so roughly that I grabbed his legs.

Please, get out of the way.

By the end of the action, she slightly bent down and held my shoulder. "Do you still want to show that you are the wife of this house?"

She's a stupid, jealous woman. It wasn't me who wanted to stay here; Michael was holding me back. But I can't explain that.

She pressed my shoulder harder as she looked at the maids following her. "Is she better suited to be a Michael’s wife here than I am?"

"Of course not, Miss Ava. You are the most appropriate lady here." They speak simultaneously.

Ava rolls her eyes. She hopes that makes me understand my position.

When she was caught off guard, I managed to pull my scarf, which earned me a slap from her.

"Damn it! You want to hurt me!" Ava pushed me to the ground.

I ignore the fight with her, immediately standing up and walking away. But my hair is pulled by Ava.

"How dare you run away." She said with anger inside her.

I rushed to hold her hand to escape from this situation. Eyes met eyes, and I felt Ava surprised by my resistance.

Ava twisted her hand quickly, and she gripped harder.

"You should get punished for your attitude," Ava growled. She looked at the surrounding maids, who were starting to move.

Her eyes were bloodshot. "You've been banished. You know that, right?"

I glare at her. I know I'm banished, but hearing it from her mouth makes my heart beat so fast. I know it's an outrage I can't just let go of.

When they catch me, I won't be able to do anything next.

I caught both her hands.

Free, I need to be free in this situation now.

"You!"

Ava is still trying hard to get to me. The maids try to help Ava without making it complicated.

Seriously, those who live here are the worst.

In this situation, they're actually helpless if they're alone. For Ava, maybe she's a spoiled brat.

When she caught my hand, I brushed it away. It wasn't strong enough to make her fall on her backside. A big, shocking scream came out of her mouth.

"Lenka! It hurts! Why are you doing this!?" her voice was a high, hoarse cry.

I didn't think anything of it then, but everything became clearer after hearing his harsh voice.

"What are you doing?" he pulled my shoulder so roughly that I fell hard to the ground.

Michael, who loved Ava, immediately helped her. Ava used this situation to show Michael her bad beta, explaining that she was very cunning.

To my great annoyance, Michael blamed everything on me. He walks past me, still on the ground, carrying Ava bridal style.

Badly, I saw that woman smiling mockingly at me as I felt the pain in my tailbone.

At that point, I stood up while holding my scarf and quickly walked away. My heartache took over, and I ignored the pain that I could only feel when I was in the room. My leg was bruised, and it was actually difficult to walk. 

after he took care of and protected Ava, he came to the room. Blame me for everything that happened earlier. 

Like being in an interrogation room, his eyes were piercing and full of disregard. "You did something like that thinking I would care about you?"

He started by making himself the center of my world.

"That's not going to happen. Ava is my lover, and if you hurt her, then you'll have worse."

[I didn't push her] I told the truth. 

[She did it on purpose]

I heard his snort. His ignorance and accusations were impossible for me to control.

Maybe to everyone else, I must have seemed possessed to him.

A deep, ugly emotion enveloped me.

Michael didn't believe me. He came here just to show off that he was Ava's hero.

After that, I was confined to my room for three days, and on day when someone walked into the room with a sly smile and a strong scent of roses.

"Hello, dump." She pressed the bottom of her dress and sat on the chair that the servant who had followed her had pulled out.

    Lenka's POVWhen that woman came, I didn't think of her as a guest I wanted to welcome, but I couldn't do anything to get rid of her.She was present before me like a compulsion, which she did on purpose. Ava sat with eyes that looked confident. She was created with near-perfect beauty, so it's only natural for her to be overconfident. I felt tired just looking at her, especially considering what had happened recently.Ava's eyes are so clear. She grew up full of love and had a strength that made her life comfortable.

She was not blind in this situation.I exhaled as I stood and walked to get a pen and a torn-looking book. I patted the book. The paper was already wrinkled, and one side was almost split.What I was doing seemed to annoy Ava, especially because I seemed to be ignoring her words.I could hear her chattering but didn't look at her, choosing to write first."Why do you want to help me, Ms. Ava?

Their mafia family was supportive and would become even more significant.She was considered perfect, while I was just an incomplete woman.I felt uncomfortable and sick.Her shoe marks were still visible on my scarf, as was the pain in my

Now, I’m gasping for air, my chest burning as if it’s on fire.I’ve never felt like this before.I run, using every ounce of strength in my legs for the first time in so long. No. I’ve never even walked this far before.My legs feel heavy and sore.I’ve fallen multiple times, tripping over rocks and tree roots, crashing into low-hanging branches.My face feels stiff—not just from the stinging cuts but also from the cold wind blowing around me.I can’t take it anymore. My breath feels like it’s about to stop.Before I could fall again and add more wounds to my body, I stopped.I had arrived at a desolate place, surrounded by towering trees. There was no one around. Not even a single sound.I had no idea how far I had run or how much time had passed. The only thing that mattered was gettin

    Lenka's POVIt was hard to hear anything clearly because I had my hands pressed against both of my ears.Fear of death was embracing me.All this time, I felt like I wasn't a bad person. But now, accepting a situation like this, even though I know that evil will always exist in the world... that's why, when I found out Michael's true identity... I was disappointed.He was a figure in the most dangerous position...Now, I’m trying to survive this foolish act. That was the sound of a gunshot, but I didn’t feel any pain... I don’t know... I’m not so sure.It was too shocking.Staying still with my eyes closed might end very badly, but someone stopped the spiral of my fear."Miss, are you okay?"I could faintly hear the voice of a man. I loosened my grip on my ears slightly, but I remained hunched over.Oh, maybe they were just playing a game. I often heard from my father about the profiles of criminals. So, this could be what’s happening.My hands gripped my ears tighter, refusing to rai

    Michael's POVI threw the bottle across the room, nearly hitting the useless fools who couldn’t complete their task as I had expected.My mood was foul, and a deep sense of displeasure surrounded me.Leaning forward slightly, no longer resting against my chair, I glared at them, who dared not move from their positions—as they should. Their bodies and clothes were stained with blood and traces of whiskey.I was in no mood to tolerate trivial matters today."Useless," I spat, my gaze cold. "Have you still not found that woman?"The task should have been simple—tracking down someone who had fled. All they had to do was locate a person who had lived in this house for over two years. Yet, even after all this time, they had failed to bring me any results.It had been a week.My patience had run dry. I was sick of their incompetence—they should have completed this task much faster.Their target was nothing more than a mute woman. A helpless woman with no acquaintances, no connections to anyo

    Michael's POVThe woman stepped forward, completely unfazed by what I had just said. As always, Ava acted as if she was extraordinary and could do whatever she wanted.“Michael, you can’t do this. Remember, we have an agreement about our marriage,” she said.She placed her hands on the table, leveling her gaze with mine. “You know that the wedding has to happen soon—for the sake of our precious organization.”“I know.” My eyebrow arched. She talked too much.“You don’t need to remind me of something we’ve already discussed. If there’s anything else, you can talk to Diego about it.”The marriage between us would happen, but it wasn’t something I was in a rush to do. There were too many things to take care of—like overgrown shrubs that needed trimming. Even she, as his daughter, should understand that.Regardless, our marriage would serve as a solid foundation to strengthen the alliance between my mafia group and hers. And they were the ones who proposed it first.Sensing an advantage,

    Lenka's POV“Come here. Let’s eat, Lenka,” the man invited.I gazed at Jonas, the man who had saved me, before slowly making my way toward him as he waited.Two main dishes were already set on the dining table—one for him and one for me—along with the meal he had prepared. It looked delicious, though I still couldn't fully catch its aroma.I wasn’t completely recovered yet, but during my time here, I finally remembered who Jonas was.I realized that I had seen him several times with my father. They were colleagues, partners in routine patrols and handling certain cases.Even though my father had only told me about him once, and we had only exchanged brief greetings whenever he dropped my father off, I still remembered his face well.He was still kind and warmhearted.I fell silent as another thought suddenly crossed my mind—about him and someone else who had cared deeply for me before they were gone.Maybe, just maybe… my father had sent him from above.

    Michael's POVI looked at the file in my hands. It contained all the gathered data about the man who was with Lenka yesterday.He was a former police officer, from the same division as that woman’s father. A few years older than Lenka and seemingly the complete opposite of me.I could see the same impression in him as in her father—someone troublesome.I was certain he knew her father as well.They had only worked together for a short time—just four years—but their record of arrests and crime prevention was quite remarkable.I saw the names of several mafia businesses that had disappeared and a list of unimportant members they had managed to capture.Neither of them had ever received any official recognition from their institution, but during their time on duty, even the lowest-ranked mafia members were cautious.Diego’s personal notes even mentioned that some of our members had almost been caught by them—but failed.The troublemakers responsible for that incident were swiftly taken c

    Michael’s POVAs soon as I returned, Diego rushed toward me, followed closely by the rest of my men.He was the first to speak.“Sir, what happened to you? Your eyes… Are you all right?”They kept asking the same question over and over again, making me even less inclined to answer. I simply let their concerns go unanswered.Maybe my eyes were already swollen. Or perhaps they had noticed the burns on my fingertips from the cigarette I had forgotten to put out.I had already treated the burns, but the red, blistered marks wouldn’t fade so easily.My mind was too occupied—too fixated on that woman’s presence.I could see the confusion on their faces before they eventually stepped back, returning to their positions. I, on the other hand, kept walking at a brisk pace.I knew Diego was following me, though he remained silent as we moved.Once I reached my office, I let myself collapse onto the sofa, tilting my head back as I covered my eyes with one hand for a moment before pressing my fing

    Michael's POVBeing in this city makes me feel empty.I carry out my work as usual. Nothing less, nothing more. I simply work, doing nothing beyond that.My subordinates handle everything well, leaving me with no need to interfere.That’s how it should be—because if it were any different, I wouldn’t be rewarding them accordingly. Instead, I would eliminate them without hesitation."It's done, sir." Diego's voice pulls me back to reality.I take a drag from my cigarette, inhaling the aromatic smoke as it travels through my lungs before exhaling it in a slow release.It’s the only trivial thing I indulge in between my work—smoking.Something I never particularly liked before, but over the years, in the silence, it became a habit.Not anything special, but the sensation is interesting enough to fill the void."Okay."I stand, causing my right-hand man to look momentarily confused."Where are you going, sir?" He moves instinctively, handing me my jacket, which I slip on without delay."Ju

    Lenka's POVI held Felix's hand, looking at him with a slightly serious expression. "Don't be too active here, Felix. Not only is it dangerous for you, but it could also be dangerous for others.""Why, Mom?" He looked confused."I just want to look around like usual..."I shook my head. "We're not the only ones here, Felix. And I can't watch you all the time—I have ingredients to buy."Right now, we were in a store that sold ingredients for making desserts and other items. This shop wasn’t far from my coffee shop, but it was much bigger and often crowded with visitors.It was my first time bringing my son here. Thinking about his boundless energy wherever he went made me a little worried.It would be difficult if Felix wandered around the store without my supervision. He wasn't very tall yet, and since my height wasn't much different from his, it would be a struggle to find him if he got lost.Felix pouted, clearly displeased with my advice."Mom, I'm not a little kid.

    Lenka's POV"Thank you for always providing the best quality coffee supplies, James."I looked at the man, who was older than me—not much different from Jonas, but with a far more cheerful and relaxed demeanor.He responded immediately, "Of course! I’m dedicated to providing the best for every shop that works with me, including yours, Lenka."I nodded with a smile, agreeing with his words.James was one of the best coffee bean suppliers in Illesas City.I had personally conducted a survey, visiting every plantation and the distributors connected to them. But not all of them met my expectations.It took me several days before I found him and quickly established a partnership. I liked the coffee beans he cultivated himself, while he was interested in my proposal.I checked the coffee packages he had delivered, which would last me a week. Even by slightly opening one of the packages, I could already catch the distinctive aroma of his coffee.The scent made me feel at ease, instantly imag

    Michael's POV"They’re still stubborn, even after being defeated."I clicked my tongue, recalling how some members of the Wentz family group were still trying to attack mine.That group was already falling apart. Several of their major businesses had collapsed, leaving only small ventures that wouldn’t be enough to cover the massive losses they had suffered.I didn’t have to do much—just let my men handle things. And that was more than enough.One day was all it took to throw them into complete chaos. There was no way they could return to how they once were.Such a waste of time.Rather than making things worse for themselves, they should be focusing on fixing their internal problems. It wouldn’t be easy, but it would be far better than trying to go against a group that was completely out of their league.Of course, it wasn’t a loss for me if that woman’s family destroyed the very foundation they had built with their own hands.Diego nodded."Yes, our men have also taken care of the o

    Lenka's POVAfter taking a few days off—something Jonas had insisted I do—I finally returned to work.I owned my own coffee shop, equipped with a range of specialized coffee-making tools and a display case showcasing an assortment of handmade cakes, pastries, and donuts.I also provided various types of coffee for my customers, setting aside a special area where they could take in the aroma of unprocessed coffee beans before making their choice.It was a busy morning.I had already prepared and organized everything necessary before opening my coffee shop.Wearing an apron, I tied my hair up high and tight to keep it out of the way while working. I also wore gloves and a special face covering to complete my work attire.The rich scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, blending with the lingering aromas of the desserts I had carefully arranged in their respective places.I had arrived early in the morning, before the sun had fully risen, to set everything up by myself.Two other

    Lenka’s POVI just realized that Jonas’s reaction was completely natural.He was only surprised, whereas I had never acted like this before.Taking the initiative or giving him room to hope—it wasn’t something I normally did. Even if it was just holding hands, it felt as if I had deliberately opened the door for him to step through.But that wasn’t the case."I’m sorry," I started. "This happened because I was worried about you…"I tried to pull my hand away from Jonas’s grasp, but he held on.I swallowed hard, looking back at him. "You know about my father’s death, right?"The man nodded, his gaze locked onto me as if I were the center of his world.It made me avert my eyes slightly."That... My father's death was a truly horrifying thing for me. Especially because it happened while he was handling a case, but..."I closed my eyes, the memories still vivid, as if they had happened just yesterday. The metallic scent of blood, the agonizing groans of my father—every detail remained etc

    Lenka's POVI ate my ice cream while watching Felix play not far in front of me.He stood near the climbing frame, rolling his small car along the colorful metal pipes before climbing up and sitting down.He repeated the same thing several times, completely absorbed in his play, before finally climbing down and moving on to another toy.He ran back and forth, observing the trees, the grass with wildflowers, the beetles and other insects around the park, and the flock of birds soaring above us.I could hear his joyful laughter as he played, before turning my attention to the man sitting beside me."He's very active," Jonas commented.I nodded. "Yes. I'm glad he's like that."I used to worry that Felix wouldn’t be like other children, the ones who had both parents and weren’t raised by just one.He doesn’t have a father, but with Jonas around, my son can still have something close to a male figure in a family.Felix has asked me about Jonas several times, thinking that he might be his f
