It was true that she had worked hard for everything she had achieved.

Since Eliza, Roswell's first and original wife and Ezekiel's mother, passed away, their business had been left in a weak position, and their hold on the upper class had weakened. But to ensure the continued operation and success of the business, Roswell had no other choice but to marry her, an agreement she readily accepted, as it meant gaining wealth and inheritance in the future, as well as Roswell's love that she had long desired.

Through that, the order of the two families with an agreement in marriage and business can be maintained. This decision is driven by a sense of duty and responsibility towards preserving their family's legacy and ensuring the financial stability of their loved ones.

"Then, I have no other option but to do my best as your lawyer in this upcoming jurisdiction," her lawyer said again.

She scoffed. "What are you talking about? I am a De Silva, and those who oppose me have no name! Let's see

    Raquel ran as fast as she could to reach the hospital where her mother was taken.When she saw Elizabeth's lawyer, she hurriedly approached him with bloodshot eyes."W-Where is she?" she tightly grabbed the old man's arms.The man's face remained serious. "I'm sorry, Miss Raquel. But she's still undergoing an operation to save her life. I'm not going to lie about this matter; she's in a very critical condition because of the explosion. There's a high chance of... not surviving at all.""What the hell do you mean?""Her whole body was burned by the fire, and the injuries from the explosion are severe—""Shut up!!"Her lower lip trembled, and she averted her gaze. She fought back tears while her throat tightened with suppressed emotions."Aren't you supposed to be a lawyer? You're not a doctor to speak like that," she glared at him despite the intense redness in her eyes. "It's not up to you to decide whether she survives or not!""Nevertheless, I witnessed the incident, Miss Raquel, and

    "Wow! It has been a while since I last entered your mansion, Ezekiel! But there have been significant changes! Your old belongings have become more beautiful and modern!"Raquel's irritating voice had been echoing in Ezekiel's ears for a while now. If he could, he would immediately kick her out of the mansion, even if she had just stepped inside.But he still responded with a small smile. "Of course, my wife effortfully arranged all of this that you see. She brought life to this mansion."He saw Raquel's wide smile fade when he mentioned his wife. He almost wanted to sew her mouth shut for showing him that kind of emotion."Oh," she paused. "Well, Serena is quite creative! I'm impressed! But I'm sure there's more room for improvement in this mansion, haha! Remember? I always used to give suggestions, but you never listened to me. If only you had let me change it back then, it would be even more beautiful now than it is!"She said it jokingly, pretending to be hypocritical.In Ezekiel'

    Brantley now observes the dripping of his blood on the dirty cement. His whole body trembles, causing the chains that bind him to make noise. His legs have already given up due to the relentless beating they received from the weapons. With his arms suspended in the air, he cannot even collapse onto the cement.The room is dark, with only one light hanging from the ceiling. Surrounding him are unfamiliar men, armed to the teeth. In front of him stands their leader."Let's do it all over again, Brantley. Because it seems like it doesn't hurt you at all. What a man of steel," Ezekiel sarcastically remarks, the mastermind behind his current predicament.For countless times, Ezekiel mercilessly lashes his whip on Brantley's back. The excruciating pain courses through his entire body! He winces, and his eyes gaze up at the single light on the ceiling."Aaah!!!" His agonized cry echoes in the room. His body slumps, and he falls to the floor, enduring the intense pain."Haa... music to my ear

    "Ezekiel!" Raquel greeted him with a bright smile as soon as she entered the mansion."What—" He stopped walking as she embraced him, as if there was some kind of connection between them. Her arms wrapped around him like a snake."Where have you been these days? I hoped you would accompany me, but it turns out you're always leaving!" She acted as if she were sulking.Oh, please.He pushed her arms away and freed himself. He quickly walked inside, causing her to scramble to catch up with him."Are you mad at me? Why aren't you talking to me?""I'm not. I'm just tired of work," he said, dismissing her."Then, you need rest! But the thing is..."He stopped walking, and Raquel did the same. He saw a familiar figure that he hadn't seen in a long time and had never allowed inside his territory."Sir De Silva!" The woman respectfully called his name but immediately blocked his path.He raised an eyebrow and gave the old woman a cold look."Who let her in?" he asked Raquel."I'm sorry, Ezekiel

    The days and weeks quickly passed, and their company's business party was now underway.Ezekiel stood at the entrance of the grand ballroom. His eyes were hidden behind a shiny white diamond masquerade mask. His formal white suit, adorned with small diamond designs, caught everyone's attention.The invited guests were equally elegant, dressed in stunning attire that sparkled in the night inside the luxurious hotel building.Since everyone's faces were concealed by masks, Ezekiel had to display his wealth and identity through his attire alone. Whenever he greeted the arriving guests, they treated him with the utmost respect and admiration.Inside the venue, dazzling lights illuminated the elegant designs. The music playing in the background added to the lively atmosphere."Welcome to the Masquerade, my esteemed guests," he said, his deep voice resonating through the room. "Tonight, we gather not only to celebrate our business success but also to address a pressing issue that has been w

    Raquel removed all her clothes, including her jewelry. She stared at her own beauty in the bathroom mirror. She applied a thick layer of red lipstick to her lips, and she was satisfied with her appearance.She put on a white bathrobe and walked out, heading towards the king-size bed. She poured a glass of red wine and drank it to arouse herself before Ezekiel even entered the room. She turned off the bright lights, leaving only a few dim lights on.The room was filled with a mix of light and darkness, enough for her to see somewhat. The important thing was that the area around the bed was well-lit, where Ezekiel would bury her later.She waited inside the room for Ezekiel, counting the minutes. When she heard the hotel door sound before it opened, she became excited.In the darkness, Ezekiel's attire and mask shimmered."Ezekiel!" She almost flew into his arms. Before he could even react or prepare himself, she kissed him passionately.Ezekiel lifted her up, and she wrapped her arms a

    "Let go of me, you bastard!!" Raquel pushed Danilo with all her strength."Why? It looks like you're enjoying it, don't you?""Fuck you!!" She shouted at him and managed to free herself from his strong arms.She was grateful when he let her leave the bed. He laughed as if he really enjoyed what he did to her, regardless of her struggles."I'm going to sue you! I will have you imprisoned for what you did to me, Danilo!! No, that's not enough! I will kill you!!" She grabbed the bathrobe again to cover her own body, furious and full of fear as she shouted at him before hastily leaving the hotel room.She ran into the nearby girl's restroom, feeling confused and out of breath. She faced the large mirror and saw how miserable she looked now.Her heavy makeup was smudged all over her face, especially her red lipstick, which was now scattered on her cheeks and chin. Her hair was a mess, as if she had just been in a fight.Her chest rose and fell due to the overflowing emotions from everythin

    "How is Ezekiel after fainting?" Serena asked, concerned but amused after giving birth."Well, he got a bump on his forehead," Panying replied with a smile. "He's asking for ice from the nurse. Hahaha!"Serena burst into laughter. "Panying, I didn't know he couldn't handle it inside, but he insisted on being the emotional support. Turns out, he's the one who needs support during my delivery! Hahaha!""Seriously! He's brave when it comes to others, but he's weak when it comes to you. He fainted because of the stress and fear of seeing you in pain. He hasn't slept because he was nervous about your labor. Poor guy."Serena couldn't stop laughing despite her exhaustion and weakness due to Ezekiel's scene. "My poor love.""I'm fine!" Ezekiel exclaimed as he entered the hospital room. He took big steps towards Serena's bed to check on her. "My wife, are you feeling okay?""Pfft!" Serena noticed the redness and bump on her husband's forehead. "My love, what happened to you? Where's the ice p

    The first woman Ezekiel loved was none other than his own mother.He treated Eliza with respect and honor. She was a wonderful mother to him, and all their memories together were truly happy moments of his childhood.She was the light of their home, so when she passed away, his world turned dark.He sat there in the corner of his room, surrounded by darkness, with no one to comfort him. No one was there but his own shadow.He mourned alone, drowning in his own tears; the heaviness in his chest was unbearable.And because he was a man, his father expected him not to show any emotions in front of people. That's when he started hiding and suppressing his true feelings behind his cold face.The insults he heard about Eliza from his own relatives and the rumors about his new stepmother, Elizabeth, didn't help either.He wanted to die because of the pain he felt at that moment. He always pretended to be ice-cold and unaffected by everything.But unexpectedly, while no one was watching the t

    "Ta-da! You look so beautiful!"My female makeup artist was delighted with her work."This is a work of art! Look at yourself in the mirror, girl!"I couldn't help but smile sweetly. When I faced the mirrored wall, I couldn't help but admire myself.Wearing a stunning and expensive white wedding gown, I could hardly recognize myself. My makeup enhanced my natural beauty even more.The way my heart beats now is full of happiness. I can't believe I'm really getting married to Ezekiel again! It's only been a month since he proposed, and here we are, preparing for this day!In fact, when we first got married, I didn't feel this way. Perhaps because I didn't know him back then, I was overwhelmed with sadness and despair. My mother had to force me to smile and pretend to be happy.But now, my heart is overflowing with joy; there's no room for anything else! I think I'll always remember this feeling."Serena, you look so beautiful! You're like an angel turned into a princess! You've even sur

    We were at the beach with Ezekiel, watching Duziell play with Halaenna, Freya, Panying, and Danilo in the distance, accompanied by three guards secretly keeping watch.We were resting and enjoying the hot weather. The sand between my toes and the deep blue color of the sea brought a unique joy and peace to my heart.Vacations are so enjoyable. I can't remember the last time I experienced this."Wife, didn't you have a shoot here before for the Sirena?" Ezekiel asked with a smile, as if remembering something. "I remember this is where it was shot.""Huh?" I was taken aback. I looked around again. "Is it here? I don't remember, because I was only fifteen when I played one of the Sirenas." I couldn't help but be surprised. "Honey, really? You were such a fan of mine back then that you even know this?"He chuckled softly, his eyes sparkling as he looked at me. "I can name every teleserye and movie you're in. You basically dominated my teenage years. That's why I'm crazy about you."My lip

    "Be careful where you step, my wife!" Ezekiel was very attentive as we got out of the car, just coming from the hospital.I didn't know what to feel. "Ezekiel, I'm only three weeks pregnant. My belly doesn't even show yet.""Still!" His face didn't recover from its paleness. "W-We need to be extra careful, of course.""Of course, when my belly gets bigger, we need to be extra cautious. But the doctor said I'm healthy, so just by walking, our baby won't be in danger of falling, okay?" I clarified to him.But his nervousness and worry didn't diminish. "I should buy everything a woman needs during pregnancy!""Honey," I pinched his cheek. "All I need during my pregnancy is you by my side."He paused. "Then I should stop working—"I leaned in to capture his lips. I kissed him deeply and passionately before pulling away and giving him a sweet smile."You still need to work if you don't want us to starve."His mouth dropped open, as if on the verge of tears, and he looked at me, unable to c

    Ezekiel leaned back in his chair, his eyes fixed on his father's lawyer, Samson, waiting for his response.The old lawyer, Samson, had been his father's trusted legal advisor for many years. They were discussing the final will and testament of Ezekiel's late father, which contained the key to dividing the family's substantial wealth."As the rightful heir, I expect to inherit the majority of my father's wealth, as stated in the document. However, there is an additional matter I would like to address."The old man adjusted his glasses and nodded attentively. "Of course, Ezekiel. Please continue."He continued, "According to the will, my stepmother, Elizabeth, who has already passed away, is entitled to a portion of the inheritance. However, given what happened, I believe that those rights should now be transferred to me."The lawyer nodded, paying attention to Ezekiel's request. "I understand your perspective, Ezekiel. However, please allow me to review the legal implications and consu

    Ezekiel entered the underground basement. From a distance, the smell of blood permeated the familiar place, but it no longer affected him."Open the cell," he commanded Ramil, who promptly obeyed.As the cell door opened, he made his way inside. The two individuals he intentionally sought out were not immediately visible. He had to walk a few meters before finding them.Meanwhile, the people imprisoned in the cells on the sides were filled with anguish and pleaded to be set free. Those arrogant and brutal criminals were now acting like victims, always begging for his mercy whenever they saw him.This was the side of him he never wanted Serena to understand. He knew that Serena already knew about this organization. However, he wanted to keep it a secret and bury it along with the people inside.This was a place where he only encountered his own brutality and mercilessness towards those who once mocked, insulted, and threatened his life. There was nothing here but a nightmare."Brother?

    "Don't worry, Mrs. Serena, your child is in good condition. Thankfully, the wound on his neck isn't deep. However, due to the severity of the cut, it will leave a scar. I recommend an ointment to speed up the healing process. As for why he is still unconscious, it's because of the sedative he was forced to take. But it's nothing to worry about; his breathing is perfectly fine, just like he's in a deep sleep."My mind slowly calmed down after hearing the doctor's words. I took a deep breath and turned to Duziell, who was still peacefully sleeping, unaffected by his injury.The tension in my body from what happened still lingered as I slumped in the chair next to Duziell's bed."Thank you, Doc." I expressed my gratitude. It wasn't easy for him to wake up in the early hours to do his job. Fortunately, the mansion is only a three- to five-minute drive from his house."You're welcome. If you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can do, I'll respond immediately.""Thank you

    Ezekiel woke up when he realized Serena wasn't on her side of the bed.He groped around the bed and confirmed that she wasn't there, causing him to open his eyes and sit up."Serena?" He yawned as he got up to check the bathroom inside. But she wasn't there.When he looked at the clock, he wondered where Serena could be at only three in the morning."Serena?" He furrowed his brow as he left the room to go to Duziell's adjacent room. He was sure Serena left their bed to be with their son. "Se—"His mind quickly woke up when he saw that the door to the room was open. He rushed inside. The messy bed greeted him, but his son was not there, where Serena had put him to sleep."Where the heck did they go?" He hurriedly left the room and practically flew down to the living room.The surroundings were still, the lights were off, and there was no trace of his wife or child! That's when he sensed something was wrong.He quickly went to the maid's quarters, remembering where Serena's mother was p
