The sound of his breathing made her shudder. Even though he ate in silence, his mere presence felt suffocating. His existence alone was enough to threaten her to the core.“Looks like my brother is obsessed with you,” Arjan suddenly spoke, breaking the heavy silence. His deep voice sent an unsettling chill through her, making her shiver.“In these two months, Ethan has only been asking about you. Did you bewitch him too? Or do you have a secret relationship with him?” Arjan tilted his head, his piercing gaze locking onto her.Was he seriously accusing her of having an affair? Did he even care?He was openly indulging in his relationship with Dia, despite her being his brother’s wife. How disgusting. Their entire relationship was twisted.

"The doctor's words echo in her mind: 'It's your second pregnancy, Miss Taylah. You can't abort this baby because your body is already weak from the last abortion. You must take good care of this child.' She grips the steering wheel tightly, her hands trembling.She presses the break, and the car jerks to a halt on the side of the road. The headlights of passing vehicles make her feel momentarily dizzy.She takes the report paper, gently strokes it for a moment, then clutches it tightly, a bitter smile appearing on her crimson-coloured lips.She touches her belly and takes a deep breath, her face shadowed with grief. If he finds out about this pregnancy, he will definitely insist on aborting this child too.She can't bear the thought of losing this child as well. Her heart pounds with fear. She feels neither sad nor happy about the tiny life growing inside her. Taking a deep breath, she accelerates and continues driving. It's around 7 p.m.She hopes he won't come home early. Since the

Two years Ago. Taylah Russell wakes up and finds herself in an unfamiliar room. She looks around and sees that the double Italian bed is messy, with her torn clothes scattered on the floor like trash. Bright sunlight streams in through the glass window, accompanied by the gentle morning breeze.The curtains sway softly in rhythm with the light wind.She feels pain and soreness all over her body. When she glances down, she notices her skin is covered in love bites, already turning purple. The stinging sensation feels like needles continuously pricking her skin.A sudden wave of fear washes over her, causing her to tremble. As she tries to recall the events of the previous night, a fragment of memory flashes in her mind. Her eyes widen in anger as the memory surfaces.The memories of last night start flooding back—the man's heavy breathing, his hard, muscular body. The more she recalls, the more violently she begins to tremble.The hangover from the night before makes her head feel lik

“Arjan... wait... don’t hurt her!” Dia cried out, trying to intervene.She quickly fell limp in Ethan's arms, pretending to be as fragile as a flower, despite having been strong enough to slap Taylah in class.“Are you happy now? If anything happens to her, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. I’ll make you miserable,” Ethan shouted, holding Dia tightly.Arjan frowned, his expression darkening.He released his grip on Taylah’s neck and rushed to Dia, who lay unconscious in Ethan's arms.Ethan glared fiercely at Taylah before lifting Dia in his arms and leaving the room with the others.The large room fell silent the moment they departed.Taylah collapsed onto the bed, her breathing slowly returning to normal. She couldn’t help but laugh at her miserable situation.Dia... she wasn’t really dead, was she? How dramatic.This was all part of Dia Edwards’ plan, yet it was Taylah who was left suffering.Seducing her own brother-in-law and manipulating her sister’s mental state... Wha

She kept her eyes shut, trembling with fear. The terror she felt toward her father was overwhelming; he was a psycho who hit her for any reason. She was trapped with them, having no choice, especially since the shares in her name tied her to the family. With 23 percent ownership, if the other shareholders knew, she could become the next CEO of Edwards Company.Lost in thoughts about her father, she barely registered the voice of the person she had bumped into. In a panic, she scrambled to her feet, desperate to avoid any confrontation.“You want to seduce me again, huh?” an arrogant voice taunted, making her tremble with anger.She scoffed, not looking at his face, but he could see her clearly. In just two days, she had become so thin it looked like she had been starving for years. Her neck, arms, and face were covered in purple bruises, and the inflammation made her appear even more pitiful.Her pale complexion suggested she might be suffering from internal injuries.

Dicentra’s heart twinged, as if pricked by sharp needles...She often scolded Taylah for being so innocent and naïve. Taylah’s calmness always irritated Dicentra. How could someone be so innocent in this modern world?Every time Taylah was scolded by Dia or bullied by Dia’s friends, it enraged Dicentra. She hated that Taylah never stood up to Dia, never fought for her own happiness.But today, seeing Taylah in this state, Dicentra’s heart ached. Taylah had become so thin and pale. Dicentra gently stroked her hair."Everything will be alright. Get up and wash yourself," Dicentra tried to comfort her, though it didn’t come naturally. She was known for her sharp tongue, not kind words. Yet, Taylah trusted her more than anyone.After breaking off her engagement with Ethan, Taylah couldn’t bear to face anyone. The Davier family had a lot of influence in the city, and if word got out that she had offended them, it would be hard for her to stay in the city.Taylah broke the hug, curled up wi

Dicentra received a message and started eating rapidly, as if there were no tomorrow. “What happened? Eat slowly!” Taylah said, handing her a glass of water when she choked on her food. “I overslept because I drank too much last night. The hangover is killing me. Damn, I’m going to get scolded by Louis... today is going to be the worst,” Dicentra replied, shoving the last bite of breakfast into her mouth as she hurried to her room to get ready for work. After ten minutes, she emerged in casual attire. “I’m heading to work. Make sure to eat your lunch properly. I’ll ask Louis about the job,” she said, hugging Taylah. “Okay!” Taylah laughed gently. Dicentra slipped on her heels and dashed out the door like she was in a marathon. A day spent indoors felt unbearably boring for Taylah. She lacked the courage to attend classes, leaving her education incomplete. After a week, Taylah started working at Louis's bar. She wore an eye mask to ensure that no one could recognize her, even up

Taylah stood rigid, trembling with fear, her heart racing uncontrollably.He stepped closer, and she could feel his hot breath against her bare neck, causing her face to flush with trepidation. He traced a finger from her forehead down to her mask, and she shivered.Initially, it had been a wild guess for him about the identity beneath the mask. But when he finally removed it, his eyes widened in shock, boiling with anger. Taylah was the first woman who had attracted him sexually, and his curiosity had drawn him to her again today. He never expected that the person standing in front of him would be her. It felt like fate, but it was a fate he had not anticipated.A mask fell to the floor with a clatter, breaking the silence between them. The moment Arjan realized she was Taylah, he slammed her against the wall, causing her head to hit it slightly. She gasped in pain.“So... it’s you again. No wonder I felt the same way,” he said, trailing a finger from her neck to her collarbone, appl

It had been two months since Taylah returned from her grandparents' home. Nothing had changed for her—she was still tormented by Arjan, enduring it silently. The morning was bright once again. A gust of wind rushed through the window, making the curtains sway in rhythm. Taylah was sleeping soundly in her room when the butler knocked on the door to wake her up. Slowly, she opened her eyes, rubbing them to adjust to the light. Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the room, while the soft chirping of birds filled the air like music to her ears. She stretched and pulled the blanket off herself. Over the past two months, Arjan had always left the mansion before she woke up and returned only after she had fallen asleep. Sometimes, he didn’t come back at all, choosing to stay outside instead. She knew exactly why he was staying out—it was for Dia. They didn’t even care about appearances anymore. When Taylah had told Arjan about her pregnancy, he had tortured her, furious

Taylah tightened her grip on the lockets in her hands, feeling nothing but foolish for ever considering the possibility of making amends with Arjan. But it wasn’t even a real reconciliation—Arjan had never even bothered to seek out the truth. “I’ve followed every single one of your damn orders. The least you could do is let me see my grandparents—they’re the only family I have,” she cried, her voice breaking as the frustration she had been holding in finally spilled out in the form of tears. It infuriated her to be treated so unfairly, all because of Dia’s baseless accusations. Arjan stood frozen, stunned by her sudden outburst. She had never raised her voice at him before. And now… how dare she? Before he could respond, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Taylah quickly turned away, wiping her tears, but the quiet sniffles betrayed her efforts to hide her pain. She turned around, a radiant smile finally gracing her face. At last, her grandfather stood at the doo

"Where is she?" Arjan demanded, his gaze fixed on the butler, who appeared visibly nervous. With each passing second, Arjan’s expression grew darker. "Answer me now, or your madame will face the consequences," he warned, his eyes blazing with fury. "The young mistress went to visit her grandparents," the butler replied carefully. "I tried to inform you since she rarely uses her phone, but unfortunately, you didn’t answer my call last night, young master. She didn’t seem well when she left the mansion." He hoped his explanation would ease the growing tension, but it did little to help. "You called me?" Arjan scoffed, his voice laced with disbelief. The butler remained bowed humbly, showing his sincerity. Arjan pulled out his phone to check for any missed calls. To his surprise, he found numerous calls—not just from the butler but also from his father, his mother, and even Ethan. Running a frustrated hand through his hair, Arjan stood up from the couch and strode toward the exit of

"Huh... one more thing. A beautiful crown for a beautiful lady," Ivan said suddenly, placing the flower crown on Taylah's head. The gesture left her stunned, completely caught off guard.For a moment, she froze, unsure of what to do. Fear and hesitation flickered in her eyes, and she instinctively reached up, ready to take the crown off."Do not... please, do not take it off," Ivan pleaded, his voice almost desperate."You..." Taylah stammered, her voice trembling as she struggled to find words. Her hands began to shake."One little girl sold this crown to me. Since I don’t have a girlfriend, I wanted to give it to someone... and it happened to be you. Please, don’t think I’m a bad person... I’m not," Ivan explained, his voice hurried and unsure. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, as if he were nervous or scared.Taylah’s hands slowly reached up to touch the crown, her fingers brushing against the delicate flowers. Somehow, the weight on her heart seemed to lift, leaving her feeli

The next morning, Taylah woke up feeling completely refreshed. After freshening up, she went downstairs, where Mr. and Mrs. Russell greeted her with a warm smile displaying in fheir face "good morning." They enjoyed a peaceful breakfast together."Little pearl, shall we visit the nearby market?" Mrs. Russell asked, receiving an enthusiastic nod from Taylah. She was as excited as a playful kitten. It felt almost like a dream. Mrs. Russell and Taylah were ready to leave when Mr. Russell stopped them with a gentle warning."Old lady, don’t overwork our little pearl. She’s here to rest, not to exhaust herself," Mr. Russell said affectionately."I know, old man... But she also needs some fresh air. Don’t worry; we’ll be back by evening. Bye-bye!" Mrs. Russell replied with a smile as she headed toward the door. Taylah chuckled at their playful banter before following her grandmother, waving goodbye to her grandfather.After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the local market. The pla

He felt that touching her was dirty. She held the pendant and looked down. Arjan abruptly left the room. She collapsed onto the bed.Despite her mother-in-law taking care of her, Taylah couldn't find happiness. Ethan tried to speak to Taylah, but she always avoided him.Even in the old mansion, Arjan and Dia remained close. Dia was always by Arjan’s side. Although her mother-in-law warned them, they ignored her words because Mrs Davier favored Taylah.When Dia noticed the pendant around Taylah’s neck, she became furious. Why hadn’t her mother-in-law given her one as well? It was a rare treasure, a token of significance for them.Arjan and Dia were unaware that another pendant existed and was with Taylah. His mother had never mentioned her friendship with Taylah’s mother. Dia desperately wanted to take it from Taylah and used Arjan as a pawn in her schemes. However, despite all her tricks, she failed to obtain the pendant in the end.They left the house in the evening. Arjan didn’t sta

Ethan looked down, unable to say a word. It was as though guilt was piercing through him like a sharp blade. "I was sincere when I loved you, but you shattered my hopes, Ethan. There’s no going back to the way things were. So, leave me. Just live your life with Dia," Taylah said as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Her words pierced his heart repeatedly, leaving him to regret his decision even more. Without a word, he left the room.It wasn’t easy for her either. Tears welled up in her silvery eyes as she leaned back against the pillow. She couldn't help but think of how naive she had been to love someone who never truly cherished her. Her heart ached, as if it was being crushed under an unbearable weight.Suddenly, the doorknob turned. Someone entered the room. Taylah quickly wiped her tears away, thinking it might be Arjan. If it was him, he would probably scold her for crying. But she was wrong—it wasn’t Arjan. Instead, it was Mrs. Davier, who entered with a warm smile.

"Don't you dare provoke me again," Arjan said to Taylah. After warning her, he left the room. Wiping away her tears, Taylah started rummaging through the cupboard, hoping to find some of her clothes. Luckily, she found them, but none of them fit her properly. Squeezing herself into one of the dresses, she went to sleep. An hour later, Arjan returned to his room and found her sleeping soundly. He sat on the sofa and began reading a book. Time passed, and suddenly, he heard a whimper and mumbling. He looked up; it was already past one in the morning. "Tsk, how irritating," he muttered, closing the book and setting it aside as he walked toward the bed. Her face was already flushed, and she was shifting restlessly, her furrowed eyebrows hinting that she was having a nightmare. "Mom... Mo... Mom, don't leave me... I'm scared... It hurts, Mom... Dad doesn't love me... He's hitting me every day!" Tears began to flow freely from her eyes. Hitting? He was puzzled. Dia had told him that T
