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 POV I stared at the woman. She looked confident, waiting for me to answer positively, but I had other interests. She did manage to guess my wishes. 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? It's so sudden.] I realized that we had never been close to each other. In fact, the woman's attitude was closer to hating me than liking me. I wasn't much different, either. Michael was always by her side. 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

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

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.

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.

    Inside the car, Lenka’s body felt so cold. She kept holding the documents containing the evidence in her hands. She remained silent, staring at the evidence without saying a word—but I knew she was deeply shaken.Then she looked at Felix.“Felix,” she called weakly.“He’ll be fine, Lenka.”She shook her head—so weak, so pained. Seeing her like this hurt.“You didn’t do anything to Felix…? Didn’t you do this to him…?”“Lenka, I didn’t do anything evil. Not at all. I only wanted to win you over without force… but I’m sorry, this time I had to force you to leave that house.”I held her hand, and this time, she didn’t pull away.That gave me a bit of relief. Maybe this calm would help her better receive what I was about to say.“Whatever that man said—it’s not true. I wasn’t the one who did it.”She looked at me, her eyes twitching, as if she wanted to speak but held back. After a moment of lowering her head, gathering herself, she finally looked at me again.“Jonas… he lied to me.” Her h

I thought our relationship had been improving lately—I was getting closer to her and Felix.I could feel it from the way she treated me. Lenka had slowly begun to open her heart to me. That’s why her sudden decision not to see me anymore left me surprised and confused.I'm sure something happened, and it might be because of the man beside her—Jonas.He clearly doesn’t like me, with his rude and cold demeanor. He acts more like Lenka’s husband than I do. I know he saved Lenka from what Ava did, but he’s been acting way too overprotective.And every time I face him, my instincts tell me something isn’t right. I’m wary of him, and that’s why I told Diego to look into Jonas.There’s something he’s been hiding, I can feel it.After exhaling several times, I leaned back into the chair again, causing it to rock slightly.I’ve been keeping my distance from Lenka for five days now.

Just when I had slowly begun to open up to Michael and started to think that maybe I could trust him a little, something like this happened.Shocking.I wanted to laugh at myself when I realized I might’ve just walked into a trap he set. Drugs—those are things so easily accessible for someone like him, a mafia member.Even during the marriage I once had with him, I came to realize how deeply he was involved in criminal activities. That clearly contradicted everything I had believed in until now—About truth and justice, the values my father always spoke of.I’ll say it clearly—my heart is in pieces right now, knowing the condition my child is in.Dr. Bruce said this would take time.As I said, Jonas is someone I can really rely on.

Everything has been prepared perfectly, and I thought that finally, I would get what I’ve wanted for so long.Lenka is a naive woman; she’s different from George, who often deals with the dark side of things and has sharp instincts. That’s why Lenka often doesn’t realize that her actions could end up putting both herself and Felix in danger.What does Michael have that I don’t?He’s the man who once hurt Lenka so badly that she had to run away and hide. And yet, she still draws close to him—their relationship seems even closer than before. I can even see how her face blushes whenever she’s with him.Has she not accepted me all this time because she’s still in love with that bastard?I’ve done everything. There are so many things that, if I told her, would probably shock her. I have a certain fondness for her surprised expression. She has an incredibly amazing look when she’s shocked.It makes me feel breathless—it's that extraordinary.I like her.

    Lenka“Look, Lenka, I’ve prepared it perfectly.”That wide smile is etched clearly in my memory. At that moment, I couldn’t forget what Michael did. He lit up countless fireworks in the sky when we accidentally stayed overnight at the villa because of a heavy storm.That caught my eyes. I truly admired what he did—it was an incredibly beautiful sight.[You prepared this?]I moved my hands, and Michael, ever attentive, understood what I meant. He nodded and held my hand, then pulled me into an embrace.“Yes. I want to propose to you.”That’s right—it was a memory of when he proposed to me. I remember it clearly, and I believed that with him, I would experience an extraordinary happiness.At the time, I gave him my answer with excitement—I swear it was because I truly felt he loved me.A slight bitterness filled my mouth as I recalled what happened afterward. A married life that turned out to be so harsh, cold, and painful. So much so that I repeatedly wondered if I was trapped in a lon

I sat down while Felix and the man were playing with the water.I laughed.My son sprayed Michael with water, and so did the man. They attacked each other until I got splashed too, but I didn’t complain. I felt like, at this moment, there were no boundaries between us.I was just accompanying my son as he played, Felix looking like he was having fun, and the man doing both things at once.I enjoyed my time while wringing out the hem of my drenched shirt from their game."You made mom’s clothes wet, Felix."I finally protested, but my son didn’t seem to care. He kept laughing, running around with the man. He clearly seemed happy, not really paying attention to his surroundings or listening to me.I just snorted and smiled lightly, but then I saw Michael stop the attack. He brought Felix closer so I could clearly see what happened to him.His clothes we

My heart pounded faster, and my palms began to sweat.I shook my head, trying to push away the overwhelming anxiety creeping in. This was the first time I had experienced something like this, and with the added stress of having been confined to the house for so long, it only made things worse."No, it’s fine. Everything is fine."I took a deep breath and began searching through every room in the house, calling his name and even checking the rooms he rarely visited.Still, there was no sign of him. I bit my lip, my eyes darting around as I tried to think. "Where are you, Felix?"There was only one place left to check. Outside.I hurried out and immediately spotted him.Felix was standing near

    Lenka’s POVI was playing with Felix in the room.Several books were stacked up—some we had already finished reading together, while others remained untouched. Scattered around were toy cars and a chessboard we had played with earlier.My son’s face grew gloomier by the minute.It seemed like he couldn’t hold back any longer and finally decided to speak his mind. His gaze no longer sparkled with excitement as it usually did.“Mom, why have we been staying at home all the time lately? I’m so bored. I want to go outside.”I looked at him with a small smile, knowing this moment would come sooner or later.No matter how much I tried to keep him occupied, there was only so much patience a child could have when it came to playing indoors. He needed space, an open area—not just the confines of our home.Gently stroking his head, I tried to soothe him. “Mom just wants to rest for a while. And the weather outside isn’t good, so it wouldn’t be a good idea to spend time outdoors, Felix.”My son
