No need to ask what Farrah's expression was like at that moment. When she heard what Elice said to her, especially with the triumphant smile that this woman flashed on her face, really! Farrah felt the emotion instantly fill her chest. Growing. Overflowing and about to explode.

"Once again," Elice said with a sweetness that managed to make Farrah's stomach churn. "Thank you, Auntie. I wouldn't be experiencing any of this without you."

Farrah's body was already shaking. You could see it on her red lipstick.

Elice waited in her smile. She wondered what Farrah would do. Would she adjust the bridal veil she was wearing or would she walk away with a face full of suppressed anger?

As it turned out, Farrah chose the latter. Although, of course, it was not easy for her. In fact, it took a great deal of effort when she reminded herself.

Calm down, Farrah. Do not listen to what Elice says. Ariel is far superior to Garrett in every way. Ariel is much more

    Even Kurt, who was still enjoying the singer's voice, suddenly turned around. His eyes widened in surprise."She said that to you?" Kurt asked.Farrah turned to her husband. Without hesitation, she nodded. Only to grimace in frustration the next moment."Can you imagine, Pa? She belittled us. She belittled Ariel by saying that our son was no richer or better than her husband."Kurt took a deep breath. He seemed to sit back in his chair. His expression was conflicted."Actually, what she said is true."Farrah's eyes widened. "Pa.""But we all know how her husband acquired that wealth," Kurt continued quickly. Whether it was because he had intended to say that from the beginning or because he rushed to say it to avoid his wife's wrath. "Because, if we want to be fair, your husband is incomparable to Ariel. Our son has wealth from his own hard work. Not just relying on inheritance."Farrah nodded. She clearly agreed with her husba

    As the jet took off, both Elice and Garrett unintentionally did the same thing: they sighed deeply.They both turned to each other and then laughed together. As if they felt the same. Exhausted. Thanks to a series of wedding events that really drained their energy. Speaking of which, it was no surprise that Elice and Garrett had not had their wedding night yet.They were tired. And the need to stay fresh was their priority. So, it's understandable that they felt relieved now. As if the jet had just taken them away from all the hustle and bustle."You're tired."Garrett's hand caressed Elice's face. Despite her impeccable makeup, the signs of fatigue were not hidden from Garrett's eyes."So are you."Elice noticed something similar. Especially in light of the fact that Garrett had been working tirelessly on several jobs before the vacation. Elice was sure that Garrett's handsome face looked much more exhausted than hers."At least we h

She looked up at the sky and guessed it would rain soon.Garrett approached Elice. He took her hand and held it. He seemed to know what his wife was thinking."Nice welcome, isn't it?" Garrett smiled as he invited Elice to continue on to the airport. "We might actually get some rain on our first day here."Indeed, even though Hawaii is a tropical honeymoon destination, that doesn't mean it never rains. In fact, rain often accompanies days in Hawaii. It falls year-round, though no

And Garrett was sure that no dream could soothe him like that. But he didn't dare hope too much.The life Garrett had lived had taught him many things. Sometimes hope is the deadliest killer of souls.

    "I hope I can go back there someday. I will definitely miss Hawaii.”The sweet and unforgettable honeymoon is over. Marked by the landing of the jet that brought the newlywed’s home. Exactly at eight in the evening.Knowing for sure that she had returned to her home, Elice's lips moved reflexively. She expressed her heart's content and Garrett smiled."Luckily, I brought home a hula dancer."Elice glanced over and saw the amused look in her eyes. It seemed that the jokes about the impromptu hula dancer continue for the next few days. Elice obviously had to be prepared to hold back her laughter at every opportunity Garrett would tease her.Leaving the airport, Garrett, who kept Elice at his side, found Amber waiting for them. She took their luggage and greeted them warmly."Welcome, sir and madam."Previously, Elice had been addressed as Miss. To be called Madam now made her feel a little awkward. Especially since the address was given by someone older than her."Please."The couple fo

    Finding different looks from her co-workers had become a common occurrence for Elice. She had experienced it even before she married Garrett. Back when she had just started working and had been given important assignments. Then, when there was an article about her love story. And now?This should be an improvement. The reason why I'm becoming more and more the center of attention should be noble, right?Elice didn't care anymore. As long as their conversations didn't cause her any real discomfort, she would ignore them. Even if she accidentally overheard them gossiping in the pantry, it didn't matter."Elice's fate is really something, huh? Just started working and already trusted to conduct interviews.""Close to the grandson of a conglomerate and married.""Now? Even her car is more expensive than the director's here.""I wouldn't be surprised if she had bodyguards following her."Elice took a deep breath and counted to three as the

    "Saturday night, at the Azure Hotel. It's the annual charity event that I used to attend with Grandpa when he was alive. For the past few years, I have gone alone. But starting this year, it feels like you two can accompany me."Dinner went on as usual, with delicious food filling the table and light conversation in between. And as always, Daphne dominated the conversation."We've always been regular donors every year. And I hope it will always be a tradition that you will continue," Daphne added. She turned to Elice. "I'm sure you'll enjoy this event. There are many paintings and other artworks that will catch your attention."Truth be told, Elice had no interest in paintings or artwork of that sort. But it seemed that the lives of the upper class always revolved around such things. Now that she had become part of that upper class, whether she liked it or not, Elice would have to learn to adapt. She would try. Maybe she would learn to like it. Elice nodded.

    "What's wrong, Farrah?"Kurt's voice caused Farrah to shift her gaze to her husband. Consciously, she knew she had been staring at the spot where Ariel had disappeared from view. She shook her head. "Nothing." Farrah replied.Kurt glanced at his wife briefly before returning his gaze to the phone. He sighed deeply."Ever since Ariel left earlier, you seem to be thinking about something," Kurt said. "What's going on?"Unaware that her husband was actually watching her, Farrah remained silent for a moment. Uncertain whether to answer her husband's question or vice versa. She hadn't answered the question because something had occurred to her."Ariel's behavior seems different than usual."As she said this, Farrah's forehead seemed to wrinkle slightly. Her hand rested on the dining table, fingers rubbing together. She seemed lost in thought."Different than usual?" Kurt asked, confused. "What do you mean, Farrah?""I mean..." Farra

    Amidst the drizzle of raindrops, there was a slender fingered hand that welcomed the droplets. Gathering them deliberately to feel the chill that accompanied the wetness against the skin.Chill. It made the body shiver slightly. But in truth, there was no intention of moving from there.To stand still. Allow the rain and the wind that accompanied it to bring even more coldness.For she needed to see with her own eyes. The shape of the promise that the universe would fulfill. That there would always be a time for every moment.There is a beginning. And there is an end. And for the chill that pervades now, it will end. Replaced by the returning warmth.Then she realized that the last raindrop had just fallen into her hand. No more drops to follow.The rain had stopped. So did the wind that accompanied it.

    Farrah fell silent. Her face hardened and remained unmoved as the sad question was directed at her."Are you satisfied now?" Kurt stared at Farrah, his face and eyes red. Tears dried on his cheeks. "Are you happy now?" Kurt asked again. "Will you be satisfied only when Ariel is dead?"Farrah's breath caught in her chest for a moment. Her chest rumbled. Was Kurt really going to accuse her like that?"Kurt."Kurt's hand gripped Farrah's upper arm. He squeezed it with the fury of a father who had lost his son. Anger and sadness collided in his eyes."I told you, Farrah. I told you repeatedly. And now you see the consequences of your actions?"Kurt's shoulders trembled with painful sobs. Regret quickly filled his heart and mind. If only he could have stopped his wife. If only he had stayed there. If only. If only. If only.But it was all too late. There was nothing more Kurt could do."You killed our son, Farrah. You killed Ariel!"Farrah blinked. A tear that had been there for who knew h

    "Ariel. Ariel. I beg you, Ariel."Elice shook Ariel's body. But Ariel didn't move at all. Completely still."Ariel, please."Elice let go of Ariel's hand. Just to touch his face. Just to feel that there was no feeling there.Ariel's eyes opened. Unblinking. Unfocused. Those eyes had lost their light. Faded. Gone. Leaving behind a reality that made Elice's tears flow uncontrollably.There was no breath. No more pulse. No more heartbeat. All signs of life were gone. Just as the soul had finally left its body."Ariel!" Elice sobbed. She embraced Ariel's lifeless body. Holding it tight. "Ariel, please."No matter how hard Elice shook the body in her embrace, she received no response. The rigid body remained motionless. Crushing any hope Elice had clung to.Ending in a hug full of devastation that made Elice cry even harder. Allowing Ariel's blood and her tears to mix into one."Ariel."Elice's voice was filled with fear. A pain she had never imagined before. For in that moment, Ariel was

    Ariel winced. Ignoring the pain in his stomach, he tried to stand up. But as soon as his body was lifted slightly from the ground, he fell again."Ariel!"Elice screamed when she saw Ariel's condition. He looked at her. He tried to speak."I-I'm okay."Elice shook her head. She knew for sure that Ariel wasn't okay right now. His condition was truly pitiful. But compared to that, there was something even more pitiful. That was her inability to do anything about it."Do you see that, Elice?" Farrah's voice made Elice turn around. The expression of hatred towards her was clearly overflowing. "Because of you," Farrah said in a trembling voice. "Ariel dares to defy me. His own mother."Elice shook her head. She tried to stand, but her legs felt completely powerless. Not to mention walking, even standing still was difficult for her."You are such a troublemaker, Elice. I should have gotten rid of you a long time ago."Farrah moved. She approached Teddy with an outstretched hand. The man qui

    For a moment, darkness was all Elice could feel. Until voices touched her senses. Awakening her consciousness. Pushing her to open her eyes.Elice's eyelids fluttered. Blinking repeatedly. Trying to open. And a wrinkle formed on her forehead.The voice was familiar. Causing Elice's eyes to focus even more. To look around. The place where she was right now.Elice wasn't sure where she was right now. The place seemed untidy. Untouched by humans and neglected for a long time.Dirty. Dusty. And Elice's eyes widened when she realized where she was lying. On the cold floor full of footprints."Of course, I can do that, Ariel! I will do anything to achieve my goals. Anything. Even if I have to get rid of Elice!"Elice turned away. Trying to get up, but unable to, she could only look straight ahead. At the three human figures that seemed to be in conflict.It was Ariel, Farrah and... Elice's body froze with cold fear. She would never forget that face.Teddy. The man who claimed to be Randi's

But the looming shadow of his own potential lateness drove him almost mad with fear.I have to stop Mama. I'll do anything to make sure Mama can't hurt Elice anymore.Ariel blinked. He realized something and immediately contacted two different people.The first was Garrett. Reluctantly, Ariel once again ignored all the arguments between them. None of it mattered when Elice's safety was at stake with every decision he made.However, contacting Garrett didn't immediately ease Ariel's mind. For Ariel knew exactly what Farrah was like. The middle-aged woman who was his biological mother would not hesitate to act again. To do anything to ensure that all her desires were fulfilled.Farrah wouldn't stop. No. Not until she had everything she wanted.Ariel wouldn't take that chance. So, he contacted the second person. And that was Ruben, his husband."Ruben, listen to me."Ariel took a deep br

Ready to take Elice and Carolus to their next destination. Namely, the boarding school under the care of the Morales Family Foundation.A bright day. As the sun began to roll toward the west, the weather was not as hot as it had been. It felt cooler."Are you thirsty, Madam?"Teddy's voice caught Elice's attention. Elice wanted to shake her head to answer the question, but instead she heard Teddy talking to her again."Maybe some water will soothe madam's throat."Elice looked at the bottle of mineral water. Somehow, she, who had not felt thirsty at all, suddenly felt the opposite. Suddenly, a feeling of dryness appeared and m

She could only reassure the meeting participants that everything was fine.Of course, it was not. Everything was far from okay. When Ariel returned to his room, he quickly turned on his laptop.
