Sparkling lights illuminated this lavishly decorated building in the city centre. I watched as cars belonging to the wealthy took turns pulling up in front of the lobby doors. The vehicle I was travelling in with Thane was still waiting for its turn. Yes, we had just arrived at a lavish party. During the ride, I didn't stop worrying. My heart kept racing, and my hands were wet with sweat.While Thane remained calm, the man always looked like that. I didn't wonder if he was so quiet. What was I, a first-timer at a rich person's party? I was just afraid of making a mistake. As we drove up, a doorman opened the car door for me and Thane. As Thane stepped out of the car, many pairs of eyes stared at him. I could see how Thane was recognized by the rich.Thane extended his hand and invited me in. At the lobby door, I saw two big men checking the guests. I could see how vital the security system was there.Thane took out his invitation, and we entered the luxurious building. My eyes were u
I could see something was different about Thane's demeanor. For some reason, I felt even more uneasy when he pulled my hand to follow him. I was taken to a room separate from the party room. Thane threw my hand away, causing me to almost fall, but luckily, I could still hold my own body."Si-sir, what did I do wrong?" I asked with certainty.I was sure Thane was like this because something happened at the party. Was it because those men were teasing me and saying I was pretty? I don't know.Thane stared at me with such a terrifying gaze that I had trouble moving. Why was he still silent and not answering my questions?Suddenly, he moved quickly to grab my waist. Our bodies were so close that there was no space between our lips. Yes, Thane kissed me ferociously. This was the first time I felt his anger pouring out in a kiss. This was really tormenting me.I even held my breath as his kiss deepened. It felt rough because the little bites on my lips were painful. I also felt some salty l
I could still feel his anger from the way Thane treated me. He grabbed my hand roughly, leading me away from the party area to his car in the basement. His pace was so fast that he didn't hear my moans of pain from his grip. I tried to release his grip, but Thane gripped my wrist tighter. It was so painful that I feared he would do more than this."Master, it hurts... please let go of my hand," I said softly with a grimace of pain.Thane didn't care. He just kept going. Arriving at his car, Thane threw my hand away and pushed me to the ground. "Didn't I say that already?! Why are you still flirting with other men in front of me?" Thane confused me. Where did I go wrong in there? I didn't even feel like it.Thane got into the car, and not long after, we left the building."You like them? You can see their attraction to you, can't you?!" Thane asked, which made me even more confused."I don't like them. Really, I don't even know what you mean? Where exactly did I go wrong?" My body sho
Just as I was about to close my eyes, someone kept me awake again. In fact, my body jumped from the shock of such a loud voice. I hurried to get up and see what was happening outside. As soon as my eyes recognized who was making the noise, I sighed. Apparently, it was Thane. It seemed like he was still angry and was venting with that action."Thane?" I called out but was ignored by him.Thane walked over with a very cold face. His anger seemed to radiate and could be felt by everyone in this place. I wasn't the only one surprised by Thane's actions. All the servants who heard also came out and bowed when they found out who did it. Thane walked with heavy steps. I glimpsed a wound on his hand, but I wasn't sure because it looked like a tattoo."What happened?" I asked softly, hoping Thane wouldn't hear me.Thane was still wearing his white shirt, and the tattoos on his body, although faint, I could see them. Not only that, but I could also see his perfectly defined muscles. I don't k
"Sir, Miss Amanda is here," said the maid who approached me and Thane.I could see the woman at the door. She was so beautiful and graceful. Her style was very meek, as evidenced by the things she wore. Of course, everything wasn't cheap. Even the jewellery attached to some parts of her body couldn't deceive her that they were pure diamonds and jewels.In addition to her appearance, I saw the maid being very polite to this woman called Amanda. Everything looked so clear and real before my eyes.Thane moved from his place. I saw that his gaze was different when he was with Amanda. Who exactly is this woman?I stood up from my position, my eyes fixed on Amanda ever since the waiter showed me her whereabouts. But, in between, she seemed to be looking at me too. Her green beady eyes were coldly staring at me. I could see that she didn't like my presence."What's wrong?" Thane asked as he walked closer to Amanda."There's something I need to talk to you about," Amanda replied.Thane walked
Thane puzzles me with his demeanor. He's a man whose heart is unpredictable. Even I couldn't decipher his flat expression. Was he angry? Or has he gotten better like before?Right now, I am enjoying breakfast with Thane. We sat across from each other, and his demeanor was still cold. Rigid, like he couldn't be bothered at all. No one made a sound between us. Only the clatter of spoons and plates accompanied this activity.I wanted to ask but was too afraid to open my mouth. The last time he looked at me, I felt his desire to eliminate me. It's possible, isn't it? After all, Thane was a cold-blooded mobster. There would be no surviving him when he made a mistake. Perhaps I would have the same bad luck as those who ended up dead.Fear made it difficult for me to swallow my food. I tried several times to calm down, but my mind couldn't cooperate.Until finally, I saw Thane had finished with his food. He stood up and was about to leave. However, before stepping, he said, "You no longer ne
After all these days of just doing the same activities. I feel like my body is exhausted, and I want to close my eyes in my room. But before that, I tried to clean myself up first. I need a splash of water that can refresh my head. "Hah... today was so boring. I'll go crazy if it continues like this." I grumbled about life right now.Finished with the activities in the bathroom, I confirmed Thane's whereabouts. Just as my head was slightly out of the door, I saw Mia crossing her arms. That's a sign that Thane hasn't returned yet."Alright, then I'll just go straight to bed and hope tomorrow can be a much better day than today." At least, that was my prayer tonight.I laid my body on the bed, pulling the blanket to cover half my body. I hugged the bolster on the side, and my eyes closed.Until finally...My eyes were closed, but I could feel someone approaching. I hope Mia or another servant wants to talk to me. But... something was strange. I was going to dream something beautiful, b
My head was throbbing from not sleeping well last night. After making the bed, I quickly cleaned myself up in the bathroom. Luckily, this place has warm water to make my body feel comfortable."Huh... I don't know what happened last night, I think my mind was so messed up that I had a hard time even closing my eyes."After finishing the bathroom activities, I quickly put on my clothes and left the room for breakfast. My steps stopped for a moment when I saw Thane sitting there alone. I looked like he was waiting for me, but I didn't want to feel that way."Good morning, Thane," I greeted him, unanswered.It looked like he was still angry with me. Oh, my... what should I do to get him to talk?This atmosphere is so awkward it's even affecting my appetite. After Mia placed a plate of food in front of me, I just looked at it and played with it. No hunger is present at the moment. Even though I was already excited from the room, it all disappeared when I saw Thane, who was still like that
Elinor wandered around the park, focusing on the few small children playing or playing there. One name she called didn't come up with an answer. A sense of worry began to set in, and Elinor now looked confused about where her son was.Elinor searched anxiously around the park for Theodore. She called his name repeatedly, but there was no answer. The desire to find Theodore made her heart flutter even more. Amongst the low noise of the park bustling with children, it seemed difficult for her to see or hear Theodore.Elinor tried to keep her composure, thinking that perhaps Theodore was busy playing and hadn't noticed her mother's call. However, worry lingered in her mind. She asked some children playing nearby, "Have you seen Theodore? He was playing here earlier."The children shook their heads, and Elinor felt even more worried. She started walking faster, checking every corner of the park to find Theodore, who was either lost or too engrossed in his play to hear his mother's call.R
Elinor lived her days with happiness and impatience. Every month, her belly grew bigger, and Elinor looked forward to the day her child was born. The few months of waiting made Elinor a more maternal figure. How she interacts with the baby in her belly and some other preparations are almost complete."It's just a matter of days, or even hours, before we meet, darling. Your mother can't wait to see your face," Elinor says, speaking to the baby in her belly as she gently strokes it.Elinor lived every day with enthusiasm and love for her unborn child. Her pregnancy was a miraculous moment for her, and she prepared everything with great love.Every night, Thane stayed by Elinor's side with great care. He often gently massages Elinor's belly and talks to the baby inside. The closeness between Thane, Elinor, and the unborn child grew even closer."Truly, I cannot wait to see your little face, my child. You will be the light of our lives," Thane said sincerely.Elinor also actively sought i

Elinor is lying down, with Thane and Grace keeping her company. Elinor had mixed feelings as the doctor began to touch her for examination. Everyone there had tense faces as they waited for the mind-numbing results.The doctor examined Elinor carefully, and the atmosphere in the room was tense. Thane and Grace looked at each other, trying to offer support without saying a word. They knew how important this moment was for Elinor.After the examination, the doctor took a breath and calmly said, "Congratulations, you are pregnant. Everything is going well."Elinor looked up at the doctor with teary eyes, and Thane and Grace felt happiness welling up in their hearts. This was the news they had been waiting for, and now their little family would grow.The doctor proceeded to give some guidance and care advice during pregnancy. Elinor, Thane, and Grace listened intently.Thane hugged Elinor and repeatedly planted kisses on her forehead. Grace was so happy that she almost jumped up to hug El
After telling his subordinates to call a doctor, it wasn't long before a man in a white coat arrived and confirmed Grace's condition. She was now lying in the room with a haggard look. However, when the doctor examined her, there was nothing unusual about her body. In fact, there were no signs of a disease that might be lodged in her body.The doctor noted that Grace should be in good physical health. However, he was considering further testing to ascertain if any health issues might not be detected immediately. Thane and Elinor, sitting at the bedside, followed every word spoken by the doctor in the hope of getting some answers as to what was happening to Grace.The doctor left as soon as his job was done. Shortly afterwards, Grace woke up and leaned against the body of the bed. Elinor was grateful that her lover's mother had opened her eyes again. They immediately approached Grace and asked her how she felt and what had happened.Elinor worriedly asked, "Mom, what happened earlier?
a sedan stopped in the basement, the car Thane and Elinor were in. They had arrived at the Penthouse after a long day of work. The two of them immediately went to the main room to meet Grace.When the door opened, they saw Grace sitting in one corner with a beautiful new bag beside her. Grace's face lit up with happiness as she saw Thane and Elinor enter the room."Mommy!" exclaimed Elinor with a bright smile. She ran over to Grace to give her a warm hug.Thane, happy to see Grace, followed her and smiled. "Hi, Mom. How was your day?"Grace smiled at the arrival of the two, feeling so relieved to meet the couple. Originally, they had planned to meet outside, but Grace had returned to the Penthouse first.This made them rush home to make sure she was okay. "Mom, didn't we plan to meet at the café? Why did you go home first?" Asked Thane, who looked worried about his mother's condition."My body suddenly felt uncomfortable. I'm glad to see you guys back early, I just arrived and want to
At this point, Grace headed into town, where Thane and Elinor were. She had just arrived and was picked up by Thane's subordinates. Unfortunately, Thane and Elinor could not do it in person because they were busy with Thane's work.Grace was happy to arrive in the city where Thane and Elinor were, though a little disappointed that they were both busy with work. Nonetheless, she knew that her arrival would give them added encouragement.Thane's subordinates helped Grace with her luggage and escorted her to the place that had been prepared for her. Grace was grateful for their warm welcome even though Thane and Elinor couldn't greet her in person."Give my regards to Thane and Elinor. I will rest for a while in my room. If they have time later, I'd be happy to meet them," Grace told Thane's subordinates.Once in the room, Grace felt exhausted after the long journey. Although she felt exhausted, the curiosity and worry that had haunted her for the past few days had not completely disappe
Grace's footsteps sounded loud. She was running like she was being chased by something. She was breathing heavily, sweat soaking her face and body. In front of her was a huge full moon. Grace continued to run, each step heavy and carried by the persistence to get away from something that seemed threatening. The full moon gave her an inescapable illumination, creating shadows stretching along her path.The roar of breathing and the sound of footsteps echoed around, creating tension in what should have been a quiet night. Grace looked up at the sky and saw a large full moon that casts a bright light, creating strange shadows around her.Relentlessly, she stepped faster, her heart racing. There was no sign of what might be chasing her, but fear continued to haunt her. She tried to remember which direction to take, seeking shelter.While the full moon watched her every step, the darkness of the night held her tight. Suddenly, Grace heard a baby crying and opened her eyes wide.Sweat floo
Thane and Elinor arrived at the Penthouse. They were now making their way to their rooms to rest. Before heading to his cozy place with Elinor, Thane cleaned up first. Meanwhile, Elinor headed to the kitchen to get a drink and some snacks to enjoy in the room. Elinor was sure Thane would not immediately ask her to sleep with her. So, she wanted something to eat while they talked to make the atmosphere more relaxed.Elinor happily grabbed some drinks and light snacks from the kitchen, thinking a relaxed and warm atmosphere could be created as they talked in the room. She selected some fruits and snacks Thane liked and brought his favorite drink.Meanwhile, Thane was in the bathroom, letting the warm running water soothe him after an eventful day. He mused momentarily about the day's events, hoping his decision would bring peace to Elinor and himself.After finishing cleaning up, Thane put on some comfortable nightwear and stepped out of the shower. He saw Elinor already preparing with
