Regis's eyes were fixed on his phone screen, his cold expression seemingly capable of freezing the very ground he stood upon.

Mark could only swallow hard, not daring to utter a single word. His boss's mood had soured dramatically after receiving a message moments earlier.

Just moments ago, as they left the Royal Dragon office building, Regis's face had been beaming. Mark had no idea that a single photo sent by Pedro could transform that serenity into a rumbling storm!

Regis's gaze remained glued to the photo of a man he knew all too well—Noel Ritter, sitting with his wife. Regis truly couldn't believe that Amora would bring another man to the lunch he had been eagerly anticipating since that morning.

Regis's grip on his phone tightened as he saw Amora's smile directed at Noel in the photo sent by one of his subordinates.

The heat of anger spread through his chest, making Regis feel like he would explode if he didn't read the message Amora had just sent him.

    “You’ve changed, Amora.”Noel's voice snapped Amora out of her focus on her phone. She had been anxiously waiting for a message from Regis, but nothing had come through about her husband.Her brows furrowed as she glanced at Noel. “Changed how, Noel?”Noel's lips curved into a perfect smile as he saw the confusion on her face. "I mean, you've become beautiful, Amora," he teased.Amora cleared her throat awkwardly, turning her gaze away from him. “That’s a lame joke, Noel,” she replied.“I’m not joking. I still can’t get over how stunning you looked at the party the other night. I barely recognized you,” Noel said earnestly, his eyes fixed on her.Amora wasn’t sure how to react other than offering a faint smile. “Come on. Flirting like this isn’t your style, Noel,” she teased.Noel chuckled softly. Even he found it strange, but he wanted to be honest about how he saw her.“Alright,” Noel conceded, taking a sip of his frappe.“By the way, what are you up to these days, Amora? I keep for

    “Who dared to anger someone as important as you? Do they not know who you are?" Noel teased, lightly patting Regis's arm.Amora nervously bit her lip. She wanted to shut Noel up for not understanding the situation. Although Regis's face showed a faint smile, Amora knew that her husband was actually trying to hold back his anger.Amora felt strange about herself. She didn't know when she could understand Regis's thoughts just by looking at his expression even though the man didn't say a word.Amora suspected that her husband's anger was related to Noel. However, she still couldn't guess what Regis really wanted to do."Young Master Lorenzo, I didn't expect you and Noel to know each other," Amora said, finally having a chance to speak.She tried to match Regis's act, pretending along with him, but her effort only seemed to darken his mood further.‘What’s his problem? Isn’t he the one who wanted to pretend?’ Amora grumbled internally, frustrated by his reaction."He's my cousin, Amora,"

    Noel warmly accepted Laura's handshake when she extended her hand and introduced himself. "Noel Ritter," he said."I know who you are, Sir Ritter," Laura quipped with a wide smile."Oh, really?" Noel looked surprised by the comment from the girl he had just met today."You probably don’t remember me, but I was one of the volunteers with you after the earthquake in Peru four years ago," Laura explained.Back then, Laura was still a university student chosen to represent her school in delivering charity donations to earthquake victims. It was during that mission she noticed Noel tirelessly treating the injured without taking a break.Laura admired him, though they never got acquainted. She had no idea that this was the same Mr. Ritter her friends frequently talked about.Recently, Beatrix Torres—Noel Ritter’s mother—had become a hot topic among prominent families. She was actively seeking a suitable woman to become her son’s partner.Beatrix had once proposed an arranged marriage for La

    "Cough! Cough!"Laura’s question made Amora choke on her food instantly. Noel hurried to grab her a drink, which she sipped slowly.“Thank you,” Amora murmured as she stopped Noel from gently patting her back.“I’m so sorry, Miss Lysander. I didn’t mean to surprise you with my question,” Laura apologized sincerely.Amora shook her head slightly. “No, it was my fault. I just wasn’t careful while eating,” she mumbled.Amora’s eyes drifted toward Regis, who looked completely indifferent, as though nothing had happened. Her heart sank. She had hoped for even the slightest hint of concern from her husband, but she realized this was just how Regis Lorenzo truly was.What Amora didn’t know was that Regis’s calmness was anything but ordinary. He was fighting hard to keep his composure, though it would have been much easier for him to explode in anger than to hold it all in.“So … are you two really a couple?” Laura asked again, curiosity sparkling in her eyes. She smiled mischievously, glanci

    “Regis, I think you’re speeding past the limit," Amora warned him. However, Regis ignored her completely.All Amora could do was clutch her chest anxiously and grip the handle on the car door tightly.The speed Regis was driving at had definitely exceeded the legal limit. But he couldn’t care less. His mind was consumed by uncontrollable rage.He needed an outlet, and teaching Amora a lesson seemed like the perfect solution. Regis felt no fear—he trusted his driving skills.Amora, however, was not as confident. To her, Regis was a reckless driver, and at this rate, it seemed like he was racing toward their deaths.What Amora didn’t know was that Regis had been trained to drive under extreme conditions, always prepared to avoid danger at any moment.“Stop the car, Regis! I don’t want to die yet! Can you hear me?” Amora screamed in hysteria.Tears streamed down her face as fear and panic gnawed at her insides. It wasn't just that she wasn’t ready to die—she couldn’t bear the thought of

    Amora let out a harsh sigh. "I didn’t invite him, Regis. I just happened to run into him there, and he—""Happened to? Is your life full of coincidences?" Regis sneered, his tone dripping with sarcasm.Amora sighed deeply again. "Believe what you want, but I don’t have any kind of relationship with him. We’re just friends!" she said firmly.Her gaze locked onto Regis with sharp intensity, her chest rising and falling unevenly from her outburst. Her lips curled into a bitter smile when she noticed he didn’t react to her explanation.Finally, Regis released his grip on her wrists. "If you really don’t have any feelings for him, then why didn’t you just say you’re married and that I’m your husband?" he demanded.This time, Regis’s voice was quieter, not as harsh as before.Amora smirked coldly. "I was about to, after introducing you two properly. But did you give me the chance? And weren’t you the one who started this whole mess? ‘Partner,’ huh?" she retorted sarcastically.Regis froze,

    The question made Amora’s eyes widen. "N-no!" she stammered, quickly averting her gaze."Really?" Regis raised an eyebrow, flashing a mischievous smile. "If you're not jealous, as you say, then why are you so angry and disappointed right now?""I-I ...." Amora bit her lower lip, silently cursing Regis for reading her feelings so easily.Deep down, Amora was beginning to realize her true emotions. A sharp, unspoken pain filled her chest when she saw Regis arrive with Laura earlier.Amora had once thought that Regis' confessions might have been nothing more than fleeting feelings. She had been too prideful, dismissing his declarations of love. Now she realized that she had the same feelings for him. But her stubborn pride kept her from acknowledging them."Look at me, Amora." Regis cupped her face with both hands. Her face was tense, and tears still glistened on her cheeks from their earlier argument."Let’s be honest with each other. Tell me, how do you feel? Were you jealous when you

    A deep blush painted Amora’s tear-streaked cheeks. She couldn't deny her actions this time and lowered her face, trying to hide her embarrassment."Don’t you know that everything you do and say drives me crazy, Amora? I don't know what's happening to me, but there's one thing I’m certain of …." Regis’ eyes softened as he looked at her. "I love you."Amora froze, stunned by his confession. Slowly, she lifted her face and gazed into his dark eyes, which radiated sincerity and undeniable passion.Regis’ fingers gently brushed her cheek, and the intense emotions that had consumed him seemed to dissolve in the calmness now surrounding them.The only sound between them was their mingled breathing. Amora's heart raced as Regis’ tender gaze delved deeply into her, as though he wanted more from her than words could express."What’s your answer, Amora?" Regis' deep voice broke the silence, snapping Amora out of her daze.Instead of confessing her love, Amora stammered, "Th-thank you for loving

    "Really?" Amora murmured, clearly seeing through the man's lie."So what if I am? You want to see her or something?" Chris shot back, turning the question on her."No, I was just curious. I heard the Lysander family went bankrupt. She must be devastated, seeing her parents like that," Amora replied softly.Chris fell silent for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, the Lysander family is beyond saving. I never thought my father-in-law would embezzle that much money. Even my dad doesn’t want anything to do with him anymore," he explained.Bianca’s position as the Walden family’s daughter-in-law had taken a serious hit ever since the Lysander Group scandal broke out. Cassandra Winston and her husband were embarrassed to be related to the Lysanders, so they didn’t care when Chris mentioned he was thinking of divorcing Bianca.Amora gave Chris a sidelong glance. He clearly didn’t want to go into detail about Bianca, but from what he said, she could tell things weren’t going well for Bianca in t

    “Why were you walking alone just now? Is something wrong, Amora?”Chris’s question caught Amora off guard. She cleared her throat softly and shook her head. “I … I’m fine,” she mumbled.“You know you’re a terrible liar, right?” Chris teased with a small laugh. He could tell she didn’t want to talk \about it, but that didn’t stop him from wanting to know everything about her.Amora forced a faint smile and quickly changed the subject. “The IV’s almost empty. Can you ask the nurse to take it out? I want to go home, Chris.”Chris glanced at the IV bag hanging beside the bed. He realized he had no reason left to keep her there, so he stepped out to find a nurse.After speaking with the nurse and explaining that the patient wanted to leave, the nurse walked him through the discharge process. She explained that the patient would need to wait for the doctor’s final checkup before being released, but Amora insisted on leaving immediately.So, she was asked to sign a discharge form stating tha

    Chris gasped. He slowly nodded and muttered, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to pry into your personal life. I’m just worried about you.”“Instead of worrying about me, maybe you should take a look at yourself, Chris,” Amora shot back, noticing that Chris looked just as much of a mess as she did.Chris had barely paid attention to his own condition. He’d been too focused on Amora—staying by her side the whole time and asking the nurses and doctors to give her the best care possible. She’d looked like she was in seriously bad shape when she arrived.“Amora, I—”Before Chris could finish his sentence, Amora cut in. “What time is it?”“I’m not sure. Maybe three or four,” Chris guessed. He hadn’t even realized how much time had passed—he’d been too focused on her.“Oh my God ... I’ve been unconscious that long?” Amora whispered in disbelief. She suddenly felt anxious, wondering if Regis or her son had already gotten home and were worried sick about her.Amora tried to sit up, but Chris quickly stop

    “Wait … just hold on. Stay home with Uncle Xavier, okay? Let Daddy go check it out,” said Regis, trying to calm his son, who sounded anxious on the other end of the line.Earlier, Regis had asked Xavier to help pick up Rayden from school because he had a meeting with Alejandro. Now, Xavier and Rayden had just arrived at their rented house, only to find that Amora wasn’t there.Rayden clearly remembered his mother wasn’t feeling well that morning. Worried, he tried calling her using Xavier’s phone, but she didn’t answer.Growing more concerned, Rayden used a tracking app he had previously synced with his mom’s phone. The last known location showed her at a restaurant, which didn’t sit right with him.Thinking she might be with his father, Rayden called Regis. But Regis had no idea where Amora was either.“Remember, stay with Uncle Xavier. Got it?” Regis reminded his son not to act impulsively, then ended the call.Alejandro’s face tensed with concern after overhearing Regis’s side of t

    “I don’t get it. Why would you take such a risky gamble, Mr. Volker?” Regis asked, unable to hide his curiosity.Alejandro simply smirked at Diego’s son, amused by his confusion.“If you wanted to, you could’ve just used me right now to threaten my father, couldn’t you?” Regis pressed, still trying to get a real answer from the older man.Alejandro’s smirk faded slightly as he replied, “Unfortunately for you, it’s not your life I want. It’s your father’s.”Regis could see the deep-seated hatred burning in Alejandro’s eyes. That’s when he started realizing this wasn’t just about business rivalry. All this time, Regis had assumed the bad blood between Alejandro and his father was nothing more than competition.But there was something darker—something personal—in Alejandro’s voice when he said he wanted Diego dead. Especially now, knowing he was willing to stake the entire Golden Snake organization just to get Regis involved in making that happen?That raised even more red flags for Regi

    In the lavish living room of a five-star hotel suite, Alejandro Volker sat on a plush sofa, slowly puffing on a cigar. He seemed lost in thought until the voice of a younger man sitting across from him snapped him out of his reverie.“Let’s cut to the chase. Why did you ask me to come here, Mr. Volker?”Alejandro’s gaze fixed on the young man seated in front of him — clean-cut and impeccably dressed. The look on his face was one of obvious impatience.A faint smirk tugged at the corner of Alejandro’s lips. “Young Master Lorenzo, you’ve changed quite a bit since the last time we met.”Yes — the young man with him was none other than Regis Lorenzo.Not long ago, Regis received an unexpected phone call from Alejandro. He had no idea how Alejandro got his number, but he knew it wouldn’t be hard for someone in their circles.Alejandro had invited him to meet in this very hotel suite. Regis hadn’t planned to accept, but Alejandro mentioned he might be able to convince Diego—Regis’s father—t

    Diego’s lips curled into a faint smirk at the woman’s reaction before he added, “But, if you want to tell Regis, that’s fine too. I wouldn’t want to waste the Old Madam Lysander’s time. Besides, she probably doesn’t have much time left anyway.”Amora’s eyes widened in shock. She shot up from her seat and slammed her hand on the table.“Mr. Lorenzo, stop threatening me by using my grandmother! Is this how a leader of the Royal Dragon behaves? Don’t you feel the slightest bit of shame?” she snapped.Diego’s expression darkened at Amora’s criticism, but he didn’t respond to her outburst. Instead, he said coolly, “If you leave Regis, I’ll grant you one request. This is the last of my patience, Miss Lysander.”“That’s not fair, Mr. Lorenzo! Why are you being so selfish? Are you only thinking about your happiness? Regis is your son, but nothing you’ve done reflects what a father should be!” Amora shouted, her anger boiling over.She couldn’t hold back anymore—his words and attitude had cros

    “Do you want to meet your biological father, Miss Lysander?” Diego asked, his tone probing.He had considered arranging a meeting between them as a trade-off—if Amora agreed to leave Regis. “If you want, I can—”But Amora cut him off immediately. “That won’t be necessary!”Diego froze, caught off guard. He noticed the tears beginning to pool in her clear eyes, but there was something else there too—a sharp, almost predatory glare that made it clear she wasn’t someone to mess with.A faint, cold smile curved Diego’s lips. That side of her ... it was just like Alejandro Volker—and Diego hated that side the most.Even though he could see how angry Amora was with both Alejandro and himself, Diego couldn’t care less. In fact, he almost welcomed her hatred for Alejandro. To him, that was a win.‘Alejandro Volker … maybe the best punishment for you is your daughter’s hate,’ Diego thought with a twisted smile.He wanted Alejandro to feel the same kind of pain he felt now—being despised by you

    "Are you criticizing how I handle my son, Miss Lysander?" Diego asked, his voice cold and piercing.The pressure in the air made Amora hold her breath. She quickly broke eye contact with the middle-aged man. That sharp gaze, almost suffocating in intensity, made her realize she might've crossed the line. Still, she didn’t believe anything she said was wrong.“I think you know what I really meant, Sir,” Amora replied, refusing to back down even a little.Diego scoffed. Her unyielding attitude both impressed and annoyed him. “If he hadn’t chosen a life with you, I wouldn’t have gone this far either, Miss Lysander,” he said as calmly as he could.Inside, though, rage was boiling in his chest. But he wasn’t about to let Amora see that she had managed to stir him so easily.Diego kept cornering her with harsh words, trying to make it seem like all his actions were her fault, as if she were the root of the problem. And that made Amora’s blood boil.‘No! I can’t lose it. He still has Grandma
