Elinor was confronted by a woman who clearly disliked her. The woman showed an indifferent and sharp demeanor, making Elinor feel uncomfortable. Elinor realized how deeply disliked she was, and she did not hesitate to express her feelings.She was Tasha, the woman who had liked Liam all along and was unrequited because of her unrequited feelings. Tasha feels unfair about the current situation, significantly since Elinor's existence hinders her efforts to get Liam.Tasha slowly walked towards Elinor. With a look of hatred, Tasha said, "You know what? How much I dislike your presence here. You're making it hard for me to get him. I wish you'd leave this place immediately."Elinor smiled at Tasha's words. She replied without hesitation, "If you want to know, I really want freedom. I want to go back to my man. I want to leave this place if that's what you want."Tasha, despite her sharp demeanor, also has empathy for her fellow women. Right now, she listened carefully to what Elinor had t
Liam took Elinor out of his house, and although Elinor seemed happy to see the world outside of her captivity, her happiness turned to sadness when she realized that the place was very far from the Thane region.They were outside in an environment that felt very cold. Elinor wore a thick jacket to keep herself warm, given that their surroundings were covered in a generous layer of snow. They were in a region with the coldest and snowiest weather.This situation may reflect the conflict in the story, where Elinor feels trapped between her love and duty towards Thane and her desire to have freedom and live outside the safer region, even though it may be harsher and colder.Several times, Liam tries to be sweet to Elinor. However, Elinor responded coldly and showed her dislike for Liam."Honey, look at the scenery here. It's so calm and peaceful. We can start all over. I'll try to be a partner who always makes you happy," Liam said as he showed Elinor the scenery.Elinor looked away, she
Elinor felt uncomfortable, and her mind was filled with images of Thane, her lover. They had been separated for too long, and the growing longing made Elinor restless. In the castle where she was held, Elinor was always watched very closely. Her every move was followed by a guard who made sure she couldn't escape or try to communicate with the outside world.This frustrated Elinor even more, and she tried to find opportunities to escape. However, every time she tried, the guards quickly secured her. Elinor felt like she was in a luxurious prison, unable to escape the worsening circumstances. Exhausted with her efforts, Elinor could only wait for Tasha, who promised to help her. Currently, Elinor is in her room. She sat daydreaming and imagining what she and Thane used to do when they were together. This time, Elinor could only imagine it without being able to do it. She was sure those times would return in the near future. She knew Thane wouldn't let her wait long."Thane, I miss you
Liam's loneliness is increasingly felt in the castle where he keeps Elinor. Despite his power and wealth, the emptiness in his heart was increasingly felt. The moon goddess gave him his destined mate. However, Liam felt that he had lost a woman first, who was supposed to be his mate.Liam tried to suppress his feelings of loneliness with his power and dominance over Elinor. He tries to fill the void in himself with the desire to possess and dominate Elinor completely. However, the more he tries to understand his feelings, the deeper his loneliness feels.In that moment of solitude, Liam recalls the beautiful memories he once had at the top of the snowy mountain. That place now gave him conflicting memories, reminding him of the moments of tranquillity that were now gone."I still remember you, darling. I can't forget you. But I can't go on like this, alone without the woman I love by my side. So, I will repay you by getting a lover from my enemy," Liam said in his reverie.In his unha
Thane felt an intense rush of emotions. A mixture of jealousy, anger, and worry coalesced within him. Without Elinor needing to explain, he knew that something terrible was happening where his woman was. Thane immediately called his men and gave instructions to get ready to storm every base Liam owned. Thane promised himself that he would save Elinor no matter what.The sound of items being destroyed filled the room. Thane really couldn't stop himself from destroying everything. "What are you waiting for? Quickly find the whereabouts of the castle!" Thane shouted to his special members, who were none other than Mike and Amanda.The two stared at each other, feeling something wasn't right with Thane's attitude. Mike tried to speak, but Thane continually diverted the conversation. "Thane, listen to us. Your anger won't solve any of this. Especially regarding the big raid, we don't know what they are preparing," Mike said, trying to calm Thane down.Thane, filled with emotion and anxie
Liam received another report about one of his bases being attacked by Royal. Although his face was smiling, the words made Juan round his eyes. Juan never thought Liam would be so angry with the carelessness that happened there. The base that Royal destroyed was Liam's third favourite place of several grounds he had. Juan also apologized and regretted it.Liam ordered all members to take over the base when Royal was off guard. Liam didn't want the base to belong to Thane because he had something unmentionable.After his emotions overflowed, Liam left the castle towards the mountains he always visited. There, Liam recalled how he could hug Elinor in the room. Smiling, Liam said that trying to get Elinor would be easier than ever. Liam thought. Slowly, Elinor melted and liked him.At the castle, Elinor sat quietly by the tightly closed window with no outside view. There, Elinor had just calmed her heart because of Thane, who was on the cliff's edge. It was a relief that the man had not
Liam sat by Elinor's bedside, attentive eyes focused on the woman's face. Every beat of his heart seemed to stop waiting for an uncertain moment. The silence of the room was only interrupted by the hiss of Liam's tension-filled breath.Suddenly, his eyes, which had been looking intently at Elinor, saw a subtle movement on the woman's eyelids. Elinor began to open her eyes slowly, a pair of eyes that looked pale and weak. Liam could feel the relief and emotion that overflowed when he saw Elinor welcoming the world again."Elinor..." Liam whispered, his voice filled with regret. "...I was so stupid. I'm sorry."Elinor, who had just opened her eyes, saw Liam's figure nearby. Her expression was still weak, but her eyes looked at Liam meaningfully. This may be the starting point of change in their complicated relationship."Am I already in heaven?" asked Elinor with a confused face.Liam chuckled at her words and replied, "Yes, you're in heaven. More precisely, the heaven I made for you,
Although aware that Liam was trying to pay attention, Elinor maintained a distance and showed a cold attitude. He knew her heart belonged only to Thane, and no one could take his place in Elinor's heart.Though frustrated by the difficulty of getting close to Elinor, Liam remains determined to make her like him. Every rejection made him try harder, even though it only added to their tension.Liam grew increasingly frustrated as Elinor continued to reject his attentions. He pondered for a while, trying to figure out how to get close to Elinor's heart. Liam realized he needed to learn more about Elinor's wants and needs.One night, Liam tried to approach Elinor more gently. "Elinor, can we talk?" Liam said in a calm voice.Elinor nodded hesitantly, "Sure, what do you want to talk about?"Liam sat near Elinor, trying to open her heart, "I realize that you might be uncomfortable with this situation, and I want to know what I can do to make you feel better. I don't want you to feel threate
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
