.

Martha stood outside the door, pressing her hands over her ears, her heart pounding with fear. The crashing sounds from inside the room made everyone in the house freeze in place. Glass shattered, wood splintered, and the echoes of Rican's rage reverberated through the hallways. The maids exchanged worried glances, each too terrified to move or speak.

Inside, Rican was a hurricane of fury. He grabbed a hockey stick, swinging it with all his strength at the nearest glass cabinet. The glass exploded into a shower of shards, scattering across the floor like deadly confetti. His chest heaved with every breath, his face contorted in a mix of rage and despair. He was lost in his own world, consumed by emotions he could no longer control.

Martha's mind flashed back to the first time she had seen him like this. He had been just a boy, standing in the middle of his room, flames licking at the curtains and furniture. His eyes had been wild, unseeing, as he screamed at gho

    ....||...||...."You know what? Your father used to force your mother for his physical needs..." Those words echoed in his mind like a broken record, each repetition amplifying his rage and sorrow. Rican's grip tightened on the hockey stick, his knuckles white with the force. He swung it with all his might, connecting with the wall, and the glass framed on it shattered into a cascade of glinting shards.The sound of the breaking glass was sharp and loud, mirroring the tumult in his heart. Pieces flew in every direction, scattering across the floor like fragments of his shattered peace."Your mother used to do every chore in the whole mansion, no amount of help allowed," the words rang in his head like a relentless hammer, driving his fury and grief deeper. "She was forced to handle all the office work herself, and if she made even the slightest mistake, she was punished."Rican's vision blurred with tears as he swung the hockey stick again, striking a nearby table and sending

Tears streamed down her face as she tried to rouse him, her heart breaking at the sight of his battered and bloody form. Rican kept murmuring incoherently, repeating the same sentence over and over, but it came out all fuzzy, making it impossible for her to understand."Rican, please," she pleaded, her voice choked with emotion.Finally, Rican looked at her, his eyes locking onto her teary ones. His head was spinning, the chaos in his mind a stark contrast to the gentle touch of Alessa's hand.

Throughout the entire process, Sia stayed by his side, never leaving him for a moment and Alessa, on the other hand, kept her distance, not once coming near him since the incident.Rican lay on the bed, his eyes fixed on the door. It had been two days since the ordeal, and Alessa hadn’t come to see him, not even once. His nostrils flared with irritation. "How selfish can she be? She doesn't even have the courtesy to ask how I’m doing?" he thought angrily.Sia looked at him, seeing his perplexed expression. Noticing his distraction, she gently held his hand, bringing him out of his thoughts. "What are you thinking, Rican? Is there anything you need?" she asked innocently.His attention broke as he looked at her and smiled faintly. "Hmm... I was just wondering how you got into the room. As far as I remember, I locked the door from inside," he asked, his curiosity piq

Just as quickly, Sia pulled away, her eyes widening as she looked behind him."Alessa!" she whispered urgently.Rican turned around and saw Alessa standing in the doorway, her face a mask of shock and hurt. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears, and her mouth was slightly open, as if she had been about to say something but the words had been stolen from her. For a moment, time seemed to stand still as the three of them were caught in a silent tableau of tangled emotions and unspoken words.Alessa's heart felt like it had been shattered into a million pieces. She had been trying to keep her distance, to protect herself from further pain, but seeing Sia kiss Rican felt like a dagger to her chest.As she ignored them and walked out, Alessa kept her head high until she reached her room. Once inside, she closed the door with

Xavier, knowing the full story of how Rican was forced into this marriage because of his father, Nia told him. Xavier looked at her, Alessa always told her that she was fine and he treat her better but today it's clear how Rican treat her and how happy she was in this house. Alessa’s façade crumbled, tears welling up in her eyes. “I thought I could handle it. I thought I could just endure it for a year, but it’s so much harder than I imagined. I thought I made him fall in love with me. How foolish I am?" Xavior's heart ached for her friend. “Alessa don't think about that way." Alessa shook her head, tears spilling over. “But look where it’s gotten me. He’s still in love with someone else, and I’m just…here. I’m nothing to him.” Xavier stepped closer, his voice gentle but firm. “You a

She furrowed her brows slightly and smiled lightly. "What? Focus, Xavier," she spoke, trying to keep the tone light.He chuckled softly, shaking his head. "Nothing, just thinking how dedicated you are."Alessa rolled her eyes playfully and turned back to her work, determined to stay on track.Lia, who had been observing the exchange, nudged Xavier slightly with a grin. "Hey, don’t just look at her like that I know you like her but you’re supposed to be working too, remember?"- she whispered in his ear.Xavier laughed and nodded. "Yeah, yeah but I don’t think we need to do anything as it seemed like she will manage everything on her own.”- He praised her.They continued working, but Alessa couldn’t help but feel a bit flustered by Xavier’s attention.

His fingers brushed against her sensitive skin, teasing her as his hands moved to her breasts, kneading and pinching her hardened nipples. The slippery soap on her body made his movements smoother.Her lips parted as his mouth claimed hers in a heated kiss, his tongue dominating the moment as it explored her fully. She surrendered, her fingers gripping his damp hair, pulling him closer. The intensity of the kiss left her breathless, and her body quivered under his touch.Without breaking the connection, Rican reached for the shower handle, turning on the water. The warm stream cascaded over them, rinsing away the soap and making Ally’s skin glisten under the soft glow of the bathroom lights. The sight of her body, glowing and wet, made Rican's gaze darken with desire.“God, you’re breathtaking,” he muttered, his voice thick with want as his eyes roamed over

    Chapter 89.|Rican|I was deep in sleep when something soft landed on my face—a tiny slap. Before I could react, another one came, a little firmer this time. Groaning, I opened one eye reluctantly, and there he was—our little bundle of energy, Rowoon, standing next to the bed. His bright blue eyes sparkled with mischief, and a wide grin stretched across his chubby cheeks.“Papa! Papa awake! Papa awake!” he sang loudly, practically bouncing on the spot.I couldn’t help but smile as I sat up, pulling him into my arms. “Morning, little king,” I murmured, ruffling his hair.But Rowoon wasn’t done yet. Once on the bed, he immediately turned his attention to Ally, who was still in a deep sleep. Without hesitation, he started climbing over her. His giggles filled the room as he poked her gently. “Momma, wokii wokii!” he sang, his little voice rising in excitement.“Hey, baby,” I whispered, trying to gently pull him back. “Momma is tired, okay?

    Chapter 88.Alessa lay on the bed, her eyes fixed on the ceiling. The quiet of the room felt heavier than usual, yet there was an odd sense of calm in her heart. Xavier's apology earlier in the evening had stirred something within her. It wasn’t forgiveness, not entirely, but it felt like a burden she didn’t know she was carrying had been lifted. A strange sense of peace settled over her as though she had finally found closure.The door creaked open, and Rican stepped into the room. He watched her for a moment before sitting on the edge of the bed beside her. “Aren’t you sleepy yet?” he asked softly, his voice hesitant.“No… I don’t feel like sleeping right now,” Alessa replied, her tone calm but distant.Rican tilted his head, his brow furrowing. “Is something bothering you? I mean, is it about… Xavier?” he asked carefully, his voice tinged with concern.She shook her head, a faint smile crossing her lips. “No, it’s not bothering me,” she said. “In fact, I feel… calm.

Rican, noticing her fear, rushed to her side. He cupped her face in his hands, his eyes filled with worry.“What happened, Ally? What is it?” he asked, his voice trembling with concern.She couldn’t speak, only lifting her hand; Rican followed her gaze and froze. There he was—Xavier, standing at the gate.Rican's expression darkened in an instant. Rage consumed him as he stormed outside. Before Xavier could utter a single word, Rican’s fist connected with his jaw."How dare you come to my home? I fucking warned you, didn’t I?" Rican roared, his voice filled with fury. "I have decided to leave you only becasue Ally requested me to leave you otherwise your body would be buried deep down now."- he screramed raining punches after punches at him.Xavier didn’t fight back.

    Chapter 86.|Rican|Time had passed, but if I’m being honest, things weren’t fully healed. Maybe some things never really heal. Instead, we learn to live with the pain, mask it with a smile, and call it moving on. That’s exactly what we’re trying to do now.Alessa was finally discharged from the hospital. Physically, she was okay, but mentally… that was a whole other story. She barely spoke these days, and when she did, it was as though her voice carried the weight of the world. My father, Stefano Rossi, decided to stay with us, and for the first time in years, I didn’t push him away.Do I hate him for what he did to my mother? Absolutely. That betrayal will forever be a wall between us. But after what he did to help rescue Alessa, I couldn’t bring myself to tell him to leave. I needed him here—not for me, but for Alessa.

    Chapter 85.Rican sat on the chair beside Alessa’s hospital bed, his shoulders hunched forward in defeat. His right arm in a plaster cast, and the dull ache of his injuries was nothing compared to the torment raging inside him. His gaze was fixed on Alessa’s pale, motionless face. Her fragile frame looked even smaller beneath the white hospital sheets, her skin ashen and her lips chapped.The doctor’s words echoed relentlessly in his mind, slicing through him like a blade: “We are sorry, sir, but we couldn’t save the child. The drug had already spread through her bloodstream, and given her early stage of pregnancy, there was nothing we could do. I’m truly sorry.”Rican gritted his teeth, his hands curling into fists despite the pain in his shoulder. The helpless rage boiling inside him threatened to consume him. How could he have done this? How could he have failed her so completely?It wasn’t just Xavier or Sia who were at fault. No—if anyone was to blame, it was him. Enrico R

    Chapter 84.The atmosphere in the room thickened with tension as Jacob filled the syringe with a clear liquid. His movements were sharp and deliberate, his face devoid of remorse. The faint glint of the needle caught the dim light, sending chills through the room.“Dad!” Xavier called, his voice trembling with urgency as he saw Jacob walking toward Alessa. “What are you doing? You promised me you wouldn’t hurt her!” Xavier’s voice cracked with desperation, his disbelief evident.Jacob didn’t slow down. His calm, calculated expression didn’t falter as he turned to his son. “Come on, Xavier,” he said in a voice that mocked sincerity. “I know what I promised. Your dear Alessa will live. I’m just giving her a little sleeping dose. She doesn’t need to see the bloody mess I’m about to make of her husband and father-in-law. Don’t you trust me, son?” His tone softened, pretending to sound hurt, but his eyes gleamed with malice.Alessa’s eyes went wide with panic. Struggling against t

    Chapter 83 . A desperate scream tore from her lips as she looked up to see Jacob standing over her, his face twisted in a sadistic grin. His shirt was smeared with dried blood, some of it staining his teeth, making him look more like a monster than a man. “Going somewhere, darling?” he asked mockingly, his voice laced with menace. Alessa scrambled backward, crawling on her hands and knees. “No… no, stay away from me!” she cried, her voice breaking. But before she could get far, a hand yanked her back by her hair. Pain shot through her scalp as she was forced to her feet, her tear-filled eyes locking with Xavier’s. “You shouldn’t have hurt my father, Alessa,” Xavier snarled, his voice low and menacing. His face was inches from hers, his breath hot against her skin. “You shouldn’t have.” He dragged her roughly, throwing her against the wall. She cried out in pain as he tied her hands with a thick rope, securing her in place. “Please, Xavier!” she begged, her voice tremb
