Cold-hearted, Ruthless, and Merciless Jerk
After the teasing subsided, Amethyst's heart swelled with hope as Dylan turned his attention towards her. She did not know what to do. What is it that she should do? However, her hopes were dashed as she met his gaze, finding his eyes cold and indifferent, devoid of the warmth she had longed for. It made her feel like she was showering in cold water. It was like a wake-up call for her. A sharp pang of hurt pierced through her chest, leaving her feeling as though a weight had settled in the pit of her stomach.What is it? Why is he looking at her with his cold eyes? Was it wrong to fall in love with him? However, she refuses to give up.She doesn't want to. Not until he told her so."Thank you." Dylan's voice cut through the silence, the words devoid of any warmth or sincerity. It was as if he were merely going through the motions, his tone icy and detached.Everyone was used to hearing Dylan with his voice void of emotion. However, they still felt a little shock since they knew that

Tears
As the tension in the room reached its peak, everyone stood frozen in shock, lost for words in the wake of Dylan and Maureen's confrontation. The women in their group aren't fond of talking back, but this time they talk back to their boss, who is new to them. The once-vibrant atmosphere had turned somber, weighed down by the heaviness of the emotions swirling in the air.Well, they knew that this wasn't the women's fault but their boss. So, they could only scold their boss in their hearts.Amethyst felt the weight of everyone's stares bearing down on her, their silent scrutiny like a heavy burden on her shoulders. She doesn't want this to continue. She doesn't want to ruin Dylan's day just because of her. Despite the pain that gnawed at her heart, despite the disappointment, she knew she couldn't let it show. It will only make them feel like she's weak. With a forced smile plastered on her lips, she squared her shoulders and took a deep breath, willing herself to appear unaffected by

Possible Business
In a fancy restaurant, there are only five people. The businessmen who are about to be their business partners are Mr. Rodriguez, Dylan, Maureen, Venna, and Amethyst. Since Amethyst is not the type of person who always wants to talk about business, she only keeps her mouth shut. It was because she wanted to deal with numbers and money more than with businesses. That's why all her business fell. It's quite funny for the core members of the La Xiena Mafia. As Dylan, Venna, and Maureen delved into discussions about potential business partnerships with Mr. Rodriguez, the atmosphere in the meeting room was charged with anticipation. It was because the business was profitable, and it would give them a greater foothold in other industries if it succeeded. And if it does not, it will only make them lose a little money, which isn't that heavy in their wallet. The reason why Dylan let Amethyst come with them was to make her comment about whether it was feasible or not, whether it cost them a

Hell
Outside the meeting room, Amethyst's heart sank as she answered the call, recognizing the harsh tone of her father's voice immediately. As expected, they know nothing but to piss her off. "Amethyst, get your ass home right now!" he barked, his words laced with aggression and cruelty.Amethyst clenched her fist as she kept herself calm. She couldn't allow herself to burst out in anger at her father. It wasn't because she's afraid, but because she knew that if she said something, her mother would be in danger. She won't fight her father until her mother is safe and sound by her side. She must be obedient, but not too much to become a pushover.Amethyst's resolve faltered for a moment, but she quickly composed herself, steeling her nerves as she squared her shoulders. She took a deep breath. "I can't, Dad," she replied, her voice steady despite the tremor of fear that gripped her. There's a woman on Dylan's side who wants to be with him. So, she couldn't leave. "I have important work to

Forgot how to Cry
Amethyst sat quietly in the backseat of the taxi, the city lights blurring past through the rain-speckled window. He was biting his lower lip because of the series of misfortunes he had in his life. Add to that the pain that Dylan gave him.Amethyst was really wondering to herself, How did she manage all this?He came back to his senses when Amethyst heard the taxi driver's voice."Miss, are you okay? Where are you going?" asked the taxi driver.Hesitating whether to go or not, Amethyst still gave the address of her family's house. It's a villa in an exclusive subdivision; that's why, when the driver saw it, he was surprised. Even so, he did not speak or ask.The steady hum of the engine and the rhythmic patter of raindrops provided a soothing backdrop, but her mind was far from calm.It's really raining today. Heaven is with the pain he feels. How about it? At that dinner, even in front of you, Dylan was openly flirting with others.Yes, she has no right to be jealous, but doesn't sh

Amethyst just sighed. He really doesn't want to go home, but he can't do anything because his father and brothers won't stop him if he doesn't go home.What else do they need from her? She knows that whenever her father and three older brothers are like this, something bad will happen.She has a hunch.Even before she entered, she took a deep breath. It must be a long battle between her and her family.As soon as Amethyst set foot in her family's house, the door barely closed behind her when her father's voice sliced through the air.It's been said that she didn't make a mistake. These people definitely have something bad to say.It's tiring.Amethyst is getting tired of this setup all the time."Amethyst! Do you have any idea what time it is?" Carl's voice boomed from the living room.Because Amethyst was already expecting this, she didn't panic anymore. For where else? Panic or not, it makes no difference.Might as well stay calm.She took a deep breath and walked in, her shoulders

Patriarchy
Why is it that everyone can forget that? Good thing she remembered.Amethyst had always known, deep down, that her place in the family was different. Because her family is different from everyone else, and the reason why her family is different from everyone else is the reason why Amethyst wants to get out of this family to the point that she wishes she was not born here. It was an unspoken rule, a legacy passed down through generations, that women in their family were seen as lesser. Amethyst doesn't know why this is still being preached to them when there are many more capable women than men. Just like her, Amethyst is more capable than her three brothers.The patriarchy had roots that dug deep, starting with her great-grandfather and continuing through her father and brothers.What a pity. Amethyst knows that this will be the reason for the downfall of her family.How did he say it? There are no women in this world who will accept being treated like trash. She doesn't even know how

Marriage
The next morning, Amethyst sighed when she got up. That's why she doesn't want to go home to her family's house and sleep here; she doesn't get rest but tiredness.The family gathered around the breakfast table. The smell of eggs and bacon filled the air, but the atmosphere was nothing but tension.Amethyst is still unable to get used to the atmosphere of the whole family when they are together, especially when eating. He doesn't know because sometimes Amethyst feels like she's at her funeral, and sometimes she feels like she's at a business meeting.Amethyst sat quietly, picking at her food, while Carl's voice cut through the room like a knife.Still, nothing has changed. It's early morning, but the mouth still doesn't stop scolding Amethyst. This is also one of the reasons why Amethyst is so tired of this family.Besides being biased towards men, they also don't care about her. Well, Amethyst doesn't care about them either, but it's just tiring to act according to their wishes."Ame

Alice
The tension at the breakfast table was palpable. Well, it's always like this whenever they eat together. If it was possible, Amethyst wouldn't want to eat with them anymore. Amethyst sat with her head down, her eyes reflecting a sense of hopelessness that did not go unnoticed by her aunt, Alice. Her aunt, Alice, has always been keen. He is more observant than Carl. Maybe that's the reason it's still alive. Her keen eye made her live this long.Seeing her niece's distress, Alice decided it was time to intervene.She has been silent several times, but now she won't let her say anything. Alice does not want to repeat what happened to her other two nieces."Carl, this isn't fair," Alice said, her voice steady but firm. He couldn't understand why his brother had the same attitude as their father. "You can't place this burden on Amethyst's shoulders. She deserves to choose her own path, just like anyone else."Of course, that's because he knows the reason why he wants to marry Amethyst to s
