Eve couldn't describe how she felt when her feet stepped through the large pillars in front of the main door of a mansion that was not unfamiliar to her—a mansion she once called home.

It had been a month since her last memory of that place. A month had passed, and she thought she would keep counting every day as she woke up alone in her bedroom.

"Eve," Cailynn reached out her hand to her.

Eve looked up and glanced at Cailynn's outstretched hand for a moment.

In front of the mansion's door, there were two men who were not strangers in er memory. And not far from them, Anthony stood with Cassy and Taylor.

"Come on, Eve," Cailynn repeated her sentence.

She still remembered what happened when she first arrived.

No. No one greeted her. She came with fear of death—afraid that something bad would happen and she would lose her baby.

At that time, fear dominated her heart more than anything. But now, she was not afraid of death or losing her baby. A month ago, she walked through death, and sh

    Eve woke up earlier than usual. Well, she was ready at the dining table before breakfast time, and she admitted that she did it for a very clear purpose—something she had been thinking about all night while sleeping alone in the old room she used to sleep in the mansion.The room remained clean and comfortable to stay in because Cassy said that the maids cleaned it every day for some unknown reason. Some of her stuff was still left—whether she was still allowed to call them hers or not. However, she tried to reassure herself that she was still allowed to use everything in the room, including taking a blanket to wrap around her body while sitting by the window until midnight.Not much had changed from the forest surrounding the mansion—it all still looked so dark at night that she couldn't see anything. As she always did, she wondered why this mansion had to be built in the middle of such a secluded forest. And as she had predicted before, she didn't get an answer to that question.Tim

    Eve didn't know what to do in Axel's mansion throughout the day.There was nothing she could do except repeating every habit she had for the past week—waking up, sitting at the dining table with Cailynn, being in the horse stable all day, then walking through the forest from evening till night.This place felt so quiet, whether it was truly quiet or it was just her feeling because she always felt alone.Cassy and Taylor still worked there, but she rarely met them lately because they were mostly assigned to Axel's headquarters in downtown Seattle.How did she know all of this? Of course, Cailynn always told her everything, even though she remembered that she had never asked for any information."Your apple pie, Miss."Eve looked up when a maid placed a plate of apple pie in front of her."Who asked you to make apple pie?" Cailynn furrowed her brows as she pulled the plate towards her—giving Eve no chance to understand what was happening."I only brought the food made by the chef, Miss.

    "Have you really lost your mind now?!"Axel wasn't surprised when someone entered his private room—a room located at the far end of the clan's headquarters.Yes, of course, he remained unsurprised by the yelling and the sound of the door being roughly opened.Well, he was prepared to face something worse than this... and maybe he would get it. Indeed, he would get it."Do you really want to destroy everything and make yourself the dumbest human being ever?" Cailynn still had the same look—eyes full of anger that could make anyone tremble when facing her. However, of course, that look had no effect on Axel at all."You've really lost your sanity, and this time, I can't hold myself back, Axel! I'm sick of all this!" Cailynn threw a magazine containing a photo of him with a woman in a bright red dress who appeared to be smiling sweetly at the camera—showing happiness that was so genuine while her hand displayed a diamond as if she was showing her engagement ring.Stupid.

    Axel never imagined that he would attend a party amidst the crowd of Seattle's socialites. Well, this party was not only attended by Seattle's socialites but also by almost all wealthy people who had significant influence in the United States, especially those living in New York.He didn't know how this party would be ready in just two days, but it seemed like everyone worked hard to prepare a party for that... Axel himself didn't care much about it. There were many familiar faces to him, but of course, he hardly recognized most of the guests who came to his party.Well, who cared who came to this party? The only thing he wanted was to see people he didn't know coming to his party and making the news of his engagement more talked about."I'm still surprised when you throw a party like this," Adeline held his hand and walked beside him—admiring everything at their party before Axel led her near a pillar outside the ballroom, which was the main venue of their party. Yes, this was their

    Eve didn't really know how she felt right now.Everything felt... gray, and she had no explanation when she stepped out of Axel's mansion.Stupid. This is what she should have done since she heard Axel's rejection when she first came here. Why wait for him in his mansion when she knew Axel no longer wanted anything from her?"Yes, I'll go back to New York," Eve nodded softly as she heard Kaira's question who came to pick her up."Stay at my apartment for a while," Kaira took a deep breath and started driving her car through the vast grounds of the gloomy mansion where she had been living for the past week.Why did she let Kaira pick her up? Because... she didn't know how to refuse when she knew she needed her friend's help so much."Of course," Once again, Eve nodded without any objection.Staying at Kaira's apartment until she found the right time and reason to go back to New York was something she really needed.She couldn't bear to go back to her apartment and live alone there.

    Eve had to count to three when she saw Axel standing in front of her—something she might have wanted so much but never dared to hope for. Indeed, he was there—staring at her with a pair of blue eyes that glared sharply as if he were an eagle that had just found its enemy's abode."You," That was the only word Axel said after a few seconds since his room's door opened. Then, as if realizing a mistake had occurred between them, Axel pulled the door handle and prepared to close it.No.No.Of course, this wasn't what Eve had hoped for when she allowed herself to stand in front of his door without any hope. So, right before the door was completely shut, she pushed her body and managed to force her way in.Yes, she forced herself into Axel’s hotel room without considering the risks she might face when sneaking into the room of a man who had just been engaged.Crazy.She knew she was crazy.But what could she do when that madness had already taken over her?"Have you lost your mind?"

    Eve had often reminded herself that what was happening in front of her might not be as beautiful and good as she had hoped for—not like in her mind. And yes, this time, she once again allowed herself to fall into the same pit of foolishness—something that left big questions in her head about her self-worth. Did she really deserve all this? "I'd rather throw it away than have to see it die again," Axel said as he pulled away from her. Eve looked at him with confusion. Amidst the climax they had just had, Axel confused her with what he was doing. Because instead of releasing it inside her, he preferred to let it flow on the hotel sheets. And... he said something painful again. "I'm done now, so leave and don't come to meet me again." That was what Axel said after they had reached the same come—right after all the touches he had given her a few minutes ago. "Axel," Eve got up from the bed and tried to compose herself. She looked at Axel sitting in the corner of the hotel room wit

    Axel knew that he might fall at Eve's feet and beg for forgiveness if she were still in his room when he walked out of the bathroom.He knew that his apologies would not be enough to redeem all the sins and mistakes he had made.Yes, Axel knew he would do it if only she were still in front of him after all the foolishness he had done. However, Eve was not there...The woman was not in his room, and all that was left of Axel's foolishness was a silent room with no one in it.No one was there, and Axel could feel his feet trembling—too weak to face what he had done.Oh God, would he die with his sins against Eve?Would he die with all his guilt?Would he now drown with all his sins?***Axel was not truly aware of what was happening to him.Everything was falling apart beneath him, and he knew he was the cause of all that destruction."Did Cailynn ask you to come here?"

    As Axel said last night, he had indeed been at her house since this morning. Eve had to admit that he woke up earlier and came to her house before she even had a chance to wake up.Well, her sleep was not as sound and easy as before—just as she thought last night. However, she managed to sleep by 3 AM, which was a decent achievement considering she once thought she couldn’t sleep until morning.“You always wake up late,” Axel teased her with a playful smile as he spread chocolate spread on his whole-grain bread. “You like chocolate spread, don’t you?” He asked while placing the bread on Eve’s plate.Eve knew her parents were quietly observing what Axel was doing. And it seemed they were also trying to find answers to their conversation last night—a conversation that was still not fully resolved.“The maid didn’t prepare much because Eve didn’t say you were coming for breakfast. If we had known, we would have prepared better.”“That’s not necessary at all, Mrs. Meadow. I like what’s pr

    Axel seemed to have forgotten the last time he visited his parents' graves. He used to come here every time he visited New York on his birthday—exactly on the anniversary of his mother’s death. He would come with a single flower and place it on his mother's tombstone, leaving his father's grave empty because he didn’t know what flowers the man liked. After all, his father probably wouldn’t care about any flowers placed on his tombstone since the only thing that mattered to him was being reunited with his wife, Beatrice.However, this time, Axel did something different. Instead of a single red rose, he brought a large bouquet—something he clearly did not buy based on his own decision. And not just one but two bouquets with the same content and size as if they were intentionally made to be identical.“Ah, if Aunty Beatrice knew the mess Axel has made recently, I’m sure I’d see him scream in pain from pinching him. He deserves a spanking for troubling everyone,” Cailynn complained like a

    Waking up early and starting her day ahead of her usual routine was highly unpleasant for Eve. If she could, she would have preferred to lie in bed all day, wrapped in her blanket. Sunlight was beginning to filter through the window, but she would have ignored it, keeping her eyes closed all day.Unfortunately, last night, she made a promise she couldn't break, and she had no intention of breaking it."Wait," Eve turned her head, somewhat confused, as Axel led her towards a helicopter parked on the mansion's helipad. "We're using a helicopter?""Do you mind?" Axel extended his hand and helped her into the helicopter, which was all black—a signature look for anything associated with Axel."I don't mind helicopters." She shrugged. "Aren't we taking Cailynn with us?" She furrowed her brow as Axel climbed in and sat next to her, closing the helicopter door."She's already there," Axel answered calmly. "We'll meet her later."Eve had no other questions to ask, so she remained silent in her

    "It's funny because these horses look so excited when you come here and give them apples."Eve turned her head and saw Cassy walking towards her with a few apples in her hands, joining her in feeding the horses from a close distance."I often come here in the morning when I don't have work. However, they seem uninterested in my apples, whereas now I see them scrambling for a chance to get apples from your hand." Cassy extended her hand, and magically, none of the horses scrambled to eat the apples from her hand. "See? They really frustrate me, and I promise I won't come here to give them apples anymore," Cassy said while laughing briefly.Eve snorted and took the apples from Cassy's hand, then started feeding the horses.She didn't know how long she had this new habit of giving apples to the horses. However, she felt she liked this new habit very much. It felt delightful to see the horses in front of her finish the apples and water she provided."Winter is over. Don't you want to go h

    If Axel had known that life would lead him to a complicated fate and life story, he might have chosen not to let himself get too deeply involved in a life he always called a duty. Whatever he did in his life, he only went through everything because he knew it was his duty. He never had the opportunity to make decisions, no one ever gave him a choice when Lucas decided to give him the leadership of the clan, no one ever asked if he liked his life full of dangers that always followed him, and no one knew if he wanted the life he was living. Everything that happened to him was what he could never decide. He got everything because it was destined for him—all the things he had to go through, even if he didn’t want them.Then, for the first time in his life, he let himself be immersed in his desires—something he longed for with all his heart and mind. Did he know that this desire would lead him to a life full of complexity? Did he know that the consequence of his desire was that he brought

    Eve has loved silence her entire life—as far back as she can remember.She loved the quiet she found at her desk with piles of books and a pen in her hand.

    Axel glanced at the round watch on his right wrist—ensuring that everything was in order according to the calculations he had made over the past week.Midnight came, and there was a change of guards throughout the base. At that moment, the first assault would certainly proceed a bit easier due to their complacency. But what about the second assault? Of course, the second assault would be much easier if the first team had completed their mission."What are you doing here?"Axel turned his head when he heard Adeline's voice behind him.Adeline...Whatever crazy notion was in this woman's mind that led her to remove Andres and become the leader of the rebellion was hard to fathom. It was difficult to believe that this was the same woman who had saved him and brought him to the secret base—far from Andres' reach with no access to this territory.Compared to Andres, Adeline was much more terrifying.She harbored secrets and immense danger—something hidden behind her angelic face."Nothing,"
