A small whimper escaped her mouth, echoing through the silent room. She felt as though she were walking through a cold, dark forest. The chill spread throughout her body, and cold sweat formed on her forehead. Her body trembled.She didn’t know what to do. It was his child—the man she once hated with all her heart. But now, for reasons she couldn’t explain, she found it impossible to hate him anymore. A strange, unfamiliar feeling stirred within her.The Next MorningDicentra arrived to visit Taylah. As she opened the door to the ward, a horrifying sight awaited her. Taylah lay unconscious on the bed, a cut on her left wrist. Blood had soaked the blanket, and Taylah lay there, lifeless.“Taylah...” Dicentra gasped, frozen by the sight. She rushed to Taylah’s side, shaking her. “Wake up, girl... What happened?” Tears streamed down her face. “Doctor... Nurse... Somebody, please help me!” she screamed, her voice cracking.A nurse entered the room and was equally horrified. She quickly ra

Taylah spent the next week resting, rarely leaving her room. She only came out to eat, but every time she did, she threw up whatever she had eaten. Constant nausea and morning sickness plagued her. She saw the doctor for check-ups and took medication to help with the sickness, but her depression weighed heavily on her. Arjan’s harassment haunted her, leaving her sleepless at night. She wanted to end this painful chapter of her life.Determined to seek justice for herself and her unborn child, Taylah made a decision. She would confront Arjan.

She always encouraged Taylah to be strong and silently vowed to stand by her side, ready to protect her if needed.One bright morning, Taylah emerged from her room, ready for something important. She wore a simple dress and light makeup. Dicentra, who was setting the dining table, noticed her and sensed that today was different.“Dicentra... I'm going out for a while,” Taylah said softly, like a lit

After the party, everyone went home. Taylah sat silently on the bed, not really waiting for him, yet her heart raced with anxiety.She tugged at her dress, still in her party attire. Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching, sending a chill of fear through her. His words echoed in her mind.The doorknob turned, and Arjan walked in. He came up to her and grabbed her wrist. “What do you want?” she asked, taken aback by his sudden action.“You dare to threaten me, huh?” His arrogant tone made her shudder. He dragged her outside the mansion. She struggled against his strong grip.“Let go of me, Arjan,” she protested. “Where did your arrogance go, Mrs. Davier?” he sneered at her.He headed to the parking area of Davier's mansion and threw her into the car. Her back slammed against the seat, causing a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She hissed in discomfort and clenched her dress.He started the car, and she didn’t dare to say a word to him, feeling as though he was a monster ready to dev

He downed the last sip of wine in one gulp and slammed the glass onto the table before walking toward the door and leaving the bar.He headed straight to Dia's apartment. After the party, she had left the mansion for her own place. He knocked on the door, and after a minute, Dia opened it, wearing lingerie. “Arjan... What are you doing here?” she asked, feigning surprise. He remained silent as he stepped inside, and she closed the door behind him, a sly grin spreading across her lips. He stumbled slightly, and Dia reached out to steady him.“Did you drink, Arjan?” she asked, concern flickering in her eyes. Taylah’s face flashed in his mind. He shook his head. “What happened?” Dia pressed, worry etched on her features. He continued to shake his head, signaling it was nothing. “Why are you here, Arjan? Today is your wedding night, right? Taylah might be waiting for you,” Dia said, putting on a pitying expression.“Don’t talk about that woman. If it weren’t for her, we’d already be marr

One Month LaterArjan and Taylah had moved out of the mansion to his private villa, a decision Arjan had made unilaterally. In response, Mr. Davier had hired a butler to keep an eye on them, but Arjan quickly took control, ensuring the butler didn’t reveal anything to Mr. Davier.Now, Taylah found herself isolated, unable to even have a friendly conversation with anyone from her in-laws. She felt exhausted from being confined in the villa, unable to go out without Arjan’s permission. Even if she wanted to see her in-laws, she had to ask Arjan first.It had been a month since they left the old mansion, and Taylah wondered if he cared at all. He returned home late at night and left early each morning, leaving her feeling even more alone and trapped.The life of an ordinary husband and wife continued, but there was an underlying bitterness. The wife's responsibilities remained unchanged even after a decade, highlighting a troubling aspect of society. For her, life wasn’t easy when she wa

ONE DAYTaylah received a call from the old mansion, inviting her and Arjan for dinner. Now she had to tell him, and the thought of going to his office filled her with dread.After dressing carefully, she made her way to his company. Everyone there knew who she was. The rustling whispers around her only added to her anxiety. It was no secret that the whole city talked about Arjan’s lover and her marriage troubles.She felt like a third wheel in their relationship and was increasingly affected by the gossip. She used to be indifferent to such chatter, but now everything felt different. She was determined to confront Arjan, despite the whispers and stares.Taylah took the elevator to his office, taking a deep breath to steady herself. She knocked on the door, and a deep voice called out, “Come in.”She entered his beautifully furnished office, with a view of the entire city through the glass windows.“What brings you here? Make it quick; don’t stay silent and waste my time,” he said, hi

"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

"Arjan..." Taylah's voice was barely above a whisper, her vision still blurry in the dim light. His face was shadowed, but before she could fully process what was happening, his lips crashed onto hers. Her pupils dilated in shock. She struggled against him, trying to push him away, but he was too strong. With ease, he pinned her wrists above her head, trapping her beneath him. His kiss was wild, rough, and forceful. The overpowering scent of alcohol on his breath made her stomach churn with nausea. "Arjan... you... you're drunk," she managed to say between his relentless kisses, her voice trembling. "Don't... don't do something you'll regret later..." She twisted beneath him, trying to break free, but his grip only tightened. He pulled away slightly, his dark eyes filled with something unreadable. Then, a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. "But you like it when I touch you, don’t you?" His voice was low, taunting. Taylah felt her entire body freeze. Fear and disgust twisted

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. And yet, he dared to question her?Taylah remained silent. What was the point of explaining? It was useless—he wouldn’t believe her anyway. She was exhausted from trying to justify herself to someone who didn’t even care whether she was okay or not.H

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.
