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
More and more, my life has no direction or purpose. What am I here for? What was the reason that could make me open my mind?After several days of dwelling in the same house, there was no change in Thane's demeanour. The man remained cold, stiff, expressionless. As if I was never here, he was so silent without any greeting every time we met.This time, I hadn't seen him since last night. I didn't want to think about it, but the more I thought about it, the more it made me anxious."Huh... what should I do now? I've been reading, watching, shopping for unimportant things through online apps. In fact, I've played all the games on this phone to win countless times. Then... is there nothing else to do?" I grumbled and complained about the boredom that always came my way.I saw that Mia was also busy with her work. She couldn't even keep me company at a time like this. Did Mia deliberately not want to talk to me anymore?Amongst this boredom, there seems to be a part of my body that protes
Thane looked at the bread on the tray. There was a puff of smoke, indicating that the food was still hot. One hand outstretched, his forefinger seemed to press a few times on one of the loaves. "I made some sandwiches and... cakes. I'm just channelling what I've learned in the past. I guess it'll be my fun in the midst of the boredom of being here. At least it's something positive I can do," I explained to Thane, who asked what I was doing.I saw his face watching my bread again. Suddenly, his hand grabbed one of the loaves and ate it without asking. As expected, he wouldn't have any expression while eating the food. I was actually embarrassed to introduce my homemade bread, but... Thane didn't even show a strange face while eating it."You shouldn't force yourself to eat it, Thane," I said to Thane.Thane glanced at me sharply, making me look down in fear. I flashed my eyes to look at him. Apparently, Thane had picked up the bread that was still on the tray. Thane ate it with gusto
These few days, I was busy baking and doing other activities. Until I realized that I hadn't seen Thane here for a few days. I don't know where he went. I never knew and got news about him.Actually, there are many questions I want to ask Thane. It's just that the man always ignores me and seems reluctant to talk directly. Does a person with power always behave like that?Right now, I was walking towards the kitchen. I wanted to ask Mia something. I saw that she seemed to know everything Thane had been doing all this time.My eyes wander, taking in every corner of the kitchen. Apparently, Mia is washing dirty dishes. I stepped closer to her, but suddenly, my lips felt stiff, and I stopped myself from speaking to Mia."What's wrong, madam. Why do you look like you want to talk to me?" asked Mia, who knew what I meant."Hem, no. I just wanted to say hello to you. Then, I'll go read. I think some books caught my eye yesterday." After saying that sentence, I hurriedly left from there.It
I felt uncomfortable with the look Mia gave me. Even her answer to my question about Thane's phone number wasn't perfect, in my opinion. Mia is like a different person right now. I'm a stranger to her.However, I realize Thane must be busy at the moment, too. I shouldn't be asking for his phone number like this. I must be very annoyed if I call him. So, how can I tell Thane about Anne's wedding? I wanted to be there, but the current circumstances didn't allow me to ask for permission."Madam, if there is something important, it should be discussed with Lord Thane directly." Mia's words were true, but how could they be? Thane wasn't even here right now."How can I talk to Thane if he hasn't been around for a few days." I expressed what I was really feeling right now.Let alone talking. I don't know when he's coming home?"Mr. Thane will be home tonight. Madame can wait for him to come," Mia said suddenly.Is he really coming home tonight? How could this be a coincidence?"Alright, I'll
I was surprised by Thane's presence in the car. My body was still standing frozen in front of the door, while Thane himself was looking at me with a tilt of his head. My eyes blinked a few times, and I tried to realize what I saw now."Thane?" At the mention of his name, Thane looked back at me."Come in, or do you want to keep standing there?" Thane asked me, who was still frozen in my current position."Why are you here? Didn't you have work this morning?" Instead of answering, I asked Thane back.There was something strange here. For some reason, I felt that Thane wasn't letting me go."Isn't it obvious? I'm here to go with you." Thane's words made me even more confused.I remembered once, didn't I say yesterday that I would go to Anne's wedding? I didn't intend to take Thane along. This was strange, really strange."Then what about your work, Thane? Actually, are you going to come along or just drive me? Don't confuse me!" I said, making it clear what Thane wanted to do precisely.
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
The party that had been planned finally began with great fanfare. The party was held in the main house, in the spacious courtyard. Many came from the Royal group. They congratulated Elinor and Thane with gifts.Songs and laughter filled the air as the guests celebrated the happy news. The spacious courtyard was decorated with coloured lights, and tables were laden with delicious dishes to share. Grace looked so excited to see the festivities.Elinor and Thane walked among their guests, accepting congratulations and gifts with genuine smiles. They felt blessed with the support of their friends and family.As the evening progressed, the atmosphere grew more intimate. Some guests started dancing in the courtyard's centre, and others gathered around the campfire, telling stories. Thane held up a glass and gave a short speech about their happiness at having a new member in the family."Look, who's going to be a father? Congratulations to you, sir Thane, you're great. You guys are a match m
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
