Leandro Clan Headquarters

New York, US. 11 PM

Mikael's footsteps echoed along the hallway in the basement of a hotel in downtown New York.

Chandeliers with gold carvings and diamond gems hang along the aisle—giving light that accompanies every step. Ancient Greek statues made of gold become decorations in every corner, with gold carvings that fill the ceiling.

No one would have thought that beneath that luxurious building that soared into the sky, there was an underground chamber of unfathomable luxury. Not just luxury—but every glimmer of that opulence represents real cruelty.

Ignoring the tens of pairs of eyes looking down at him in reverence, Mikael walked calmly towards the main staircase, which would lead him to the secret meeting room.

"All the secret leaders are waiting for you, Mr William," Orlando spoke briefly as they walked up the spiral staircase in the middle of the room.

The room located on the second floor is a forbidden room that cannot be entered by everyone. Only the

When she opened the door, she saw a maid walking not far from her."In the main room, Miss. They had just finished breakfast. If you are hungry, let me prepare breakfast for you. What would you like for breakfast?”Claire shook her head, "No need. I'll just have breakfast later." She said as she walked into the main hall. She tried to remember every detail of the mansion because her room was a bit far from the main room.A baby crying echoed down the left aisle, so Claire walked quickly towards it. "I'm sorry for waking up late," Claire immediately approached Abigail and Josephine who were sitting by the window. Josephine is holding Amaira—Abigail's daughter."Don't rush to get up if you're still sleepy, Claire," Abigail answered calmly."I have a hard time sleepin

He looked at her calmly as if feeling innocent about what had happened yesterday. "Let’s go home,"Claire shook her head, “I'm going home with Mommy. You go home first.""What did you come here for?" Michael stepped closer, "let's go home." he repeated his order."I told you that I'm going home with Mommy.""And I've also asked what you came here for?" Michael answered quickly."Are you blind?" Claire muttered under her breath, "As I remember, I was the one who was blind, so you—"Her sentence was cut off because Michael grabbed her arm and kissed her hard.Claire's eyes widened as her hands moved uncomfortably in Michael's grip.He pushed her away—cornering her between the wall and his arm.Michael's kiss was hard—rough and demanding.

He sat beside her, reading a document in his hand—their marriage document.Claire blinked—trying to understand what was going on.After leaving the airport, Michael took her to a boutique to buy a simple wedding dress… then they headed home.She didn't have time to use make-up or put on her hairdo like most brides—because this wasn't a normal wedding.Michael’s mansion is decorated with beautiful flowers. The stairs are decorated with circular lights and flowers. It looks simple, but it still looks beautiful.As if that wasn't enough to surprise Claire, several people stood up and greeted her as soon as she entered the mansion—just like welcoming a wedding couple.However, not many attended.Josephine and J

Built on a cliff so she can see the canyon on the back balcony, while her bedroom balcony looks out over the beautiful mountains. She had heard the sound of running water when walking on the back balcony. And a maid said that there was a river at the bottom of the ravine—circling their mansion and ending at a waterfall not far away. She couldn't wait until tomorrow morning to see the sunrise in her room. Or maybe walk down the river and explore the forest.The building of this house is dominated by the glass—a magnificent mansion built in the middle of a forest like a stun

Her maroon-red lingerie could only hide a small portion of her curves. However, nothing was hidden from Mikael's piercing gaze.Miranda Clark is a beautiful actress who has been trying to contact him since three days ago—since they met at a business meeting.A business associate sent Miranda to him, hoping they would reach a business deal as soon as possible—a common thing among business people.Mikael is not someone who follows developments in the entertainment world.

A soft voice from beside him made Mikael turn his head reluctantly.Claire blinked her round eyes as she held out a plate to him."Didn't you already get your own bread?" He glanced at the traces of jam on the edge of Claire's plate. “You are greedy,” he muttered."Come on," Claire pursed her lips, "Mommy forbade the maids to give me chocolate jam." She spoke in a low voice—afraid that someone would hear her voice.Michael looked around him. Only the two of them were having breakfast at the mansion's large dining table, but a few maids were standing not far from them—watching whether they were eating properly or not. Meanwhile, as usual, John and Josephine weren't home."Then you think I'll share my bread with you?" Mikael rolled his eyes.Even though he had known Claire for three years, he still often felt irritated by the behavior of that orphanage girl.Well, now Claire has indeed changed. Her appearanc

Her legs trembled from the cold, and even her lips started to turn blue because they couldn't bear the cold. However, she was still standing at the end of the back balcony of Michael's mansion, which was very wide, maybe even bigger than her apartment.In her heart, she wondered when did Michael have a mansion as luxurious as this.However, let alone thinking about the mansion, she didn't even know where Michael was after he had left her hours ago.Michael left… he left because of her mistake.

A few months later.Mikael gazed at the sprawling grounds of his mansion, which had begun to bloom with flowers, with butterflies fluttering freely.Claire had started planting flowers in their mansion’s yard two weeks ago, and the blossoms were beginning to bloom in the spring, transforming the once-dreary mansion into something beautiful.Mikael had been away from that building for nearly six years. Even though there were still servants cleaning and maintaining the place every day, it had felt gloomy when they first moved in a few months ago.However, Claire only took a few days to make significant changes to the mansion. Cecilia's laughter echoed in every corner, bringing a new light that Mikael had never imagined before. Claire had begun to do her part—adding magical touches that his mind struggled to comprehend, but his heart could feel.And now, as spring had arrived, everything was starting to grow lushly—especially Mikael's heart, which

Her hands moved to push the man away—the only person allowed to do such a thing to her.“Mike,” she groaned irritably.“Are you going to keep hiding under the blankets until the afternoon?” Mikael chuckled and continued showering her with cold kisses along her neck and face.Claire opened her eyes and pouted. When she turned her head, she didn’t find Cecilia there and concluded that she had woken up late, meaning Cecilia was already awake.“Get away from me!” she said while pushing Mikael away, even though she knew her refusal was futile.“Do you really want me to go?” Mikael raised his eyebrows.Claire rolled her eyes as she noticed the drastic change in their interactions.She had known Mikael her entire life, but she felt unprepared for all of this.

    Mikael’s ApartmentManhattan, New York, US. 1 AMOnce again, Claire woke up with soreness between her thighs, and the memories of what she’d done replayed in her mind. Her eyes weren’t fully open yet, but she knew it was still nighttime—the sun hadn’t risen, unlike a few days ago when she awoke.A large, warm hand wrapped around her waist tightly, keeping her from falling off the sofa in the living room. A thick blanket covered her bare body, and she knew that the man behind her was also still undressed, even though he was awake.She could feel the gentle strokes along her back and steady breaths against her neck. The man hadn’t said a word, but Claire knew he was awake, or at least hadn’t slept since she had immediately closed her eyes after their last... game, however many hours ago.She had been right to worry—she’d lose control again if she let Mikael talk to her at night. And yes, she had lost control once more.There was no denying that she missed every touch from this man. Ther

Some chose to step aside, seeking warmth from the cold, while others continued to stroll, enjoying the frozen snowflakes falling around them.Amid the hustle of New York, Mikael opted to sit in the main room of his apartment with two mugs of hot chocolate—one for him and one for Claire.The cool air from the balcony door, which wasn’t fully closed, made the room feel cold—typical of the chilly end-of-year weather.Mikael had endured many terrible years, but it seemed he would close this one with a sweet gift—Cecilia.“This is the best year-end I’ve ever had,” Mikael smiled.Sometimes, he forgot the last time he had smiled, but in the past few days, he had lost count of how many times he’d smiled because it happened so often.“Good for you,” Claire responded flatly.Sometimes, Mikael wond

    Michael’s GraveManhattan, New York, US. 9 AMClaire stepped forward, clutching a bouquet of white roses she had bought just before arriving at... her destination.“Mom,” Cecilia reached for her hand, prompting Claire to turn and offer a brief smile to the little girl.“That’s okay, Cecilia.” Mikael crouched in front of Cecilia and lifted her into his arms when he noticed she felt scared.Claire had never taken Cecilia to a cemetery before, but Cecilia had seen graves on television, and it always piqued her curiosity.Cecilia didn’t have anyone to visit in Canada, so she never went to a cemetery. But now, she was in New York, and… she felt like she had to visit one of the graves she missed the most—Michael’s grave.“Daddy, I’m scared,” Cecilia said quietly, hiding her face against Mikael’s chest.“Aren’t you here with Daddy and Mommy?” Mikael kissed her hair softly, “You don’t need to be scared, right?”“Yes, Daddy.” Cecilia nodded but kept hiding her face, making Mikael chuckle affec

The end of the year is approaching, but she feels she still can’t leave this year behind—a year that has brought her many surprises and… happiness.She is living in Mikael’s apartment.They sleep together in the same room, on the same bed, and under the same blanket. However, nothing happens between them except… sleep, in the literal meaning.It’s not that Claire wants anything else.

Everything she discussed with Mikael drove her further into madness, and they ended that madness in an even crazier way.

    Williams MansionManhattan, New York, US. 1 PM“Oh my God,” Josephine Williams gasped, covering her mouth in surprise when she saw Claire standing at the mansion door.“Mom,” Claire gave a brief smile and reached out to hug her.They had met briefly yesterday, but that encounter meant nothing to either Josephine or Claire. At the time, everything was chaotic, and Claire’s only concern had been calming Cecilia, who was crying hysterically out of fear.“My dear,” Josephine sighed as she hugged Claire, “I’ve been waiting for word from you since last night.”“Sorry to make you worry, Mom. I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me.”“I know you’re fine,” Josephine released the hug and cupped Claire’s face, looking at her closely. “I just needed to hear from you. It’s the only thing that could ease my mind.”Claire smiled and nodded. Years had passed since her childhood, but Josephine still saw her as a little princess she would always worry about. Claire hadn’t understood Josephine’s mind

You’ll have mine, and I’ll make another one for you.” Claire blinked as the voices broke through her sleep. She opened her eyes for a few seconds, but the pull of sleep soon coaxed them shut again. Sunlight poured through the large windows at the center of the room, illuminating the sofa that faced the balcony. Despite it being late in the year, the day was bright enough for the midday sun to break through and gently warm Claire’s still-closed eyelids. She stretched, feeling a familiar ache from yesterday morning—the same kind of soreness she used to experience years ago. As much as she wanted to forget what had happened last night, Claire couldn’t deny that when she closed her eyes, all she could think about was the way Mikael had kissed her, letting his hands roam her body—touching her with tenderness and passion. “Daddy,

Her eyes were closed while her body, from her waist down to her feet, was covered by the thick blanket he had given her after they had finished their long, wild sex.Claire’s confession had made Mikael lose control. He didn’t know how else to express the madness in his heart but through a kiss, a reflex to Claire’s long confession. However, that kiss had only ignited a fire within him, pulling him back into the burning circle.And the more surprising thing was... Claire accepted his touch.Mikael leaned down to kiss Claire’s shoulder and whatever else his lips could reach—her head, her forehead, and the nape of her neck, which was covered by strands of her red hair.Claire had stopped coloring her hair since Mikael wasn’t sure when.
