The sound of knocking pulled Regis’s attention away from his laptop screen. "Come in," he said.

Rayden’s face peeked out from behind the office door. The boy had come to fulfill Regis’s request from earlier.

"Just come in, Ray," Regis encouraged when he noticed his son’s hesitation.

Rayden nodded and stepped inside. He had just finished showering and changed into his pajamas.

"Are you busy, Dad?" Rayden asked, eyeing the cluttered desk.

"Not really," Regis replied, motioning for his son to come closer.

But Rayden remained standing before the desk, his eyes scanning the room. He rarely entered this office since it was usually locked.

Rayden knew his father didn’t like unauthorized people entering the room, likely due to the important documents inside.

"What did you want to talk about?" Rayden asked, getting straight to the point.

Regis closed his laptop and looked directly at his son. "I heard from your mom that you found out I’m your biological father."

Rayden didn’t react. His expres

    "Ray is coming to the Waverly family's grandchild’s birthday party, right, Amora?" Estelle asked, momentarily diverting Amora's attention from checking her schedule for the next client meeting."Yeah, why?" Amora continued organizing her documents."Lately, Kimmy keeps talking about Ray. I'm getting a headache from hearing about him nonstop, and your son is truly a clone of your husband," Estelle sighed, describing how indifferent Rayden was whenever Kimmy tried to talk to him.Amora gave a small smile. "I'll remind him later. He’s probably just too shy to express himself in front of your daughter," she said, defending Rayden.Amora knew Rayden would never intentionally hurt Kimmy, even though Estelle’s daughter could be quite a handful.

Plus, they go to the same school and are even in the same

    "You're still not going to talk, huh?"An old man's booming voice echoed through the Lysander family's living room. Amora was kneeling on the floor, her head bowed low.Amora stared at the feet of the old man standing before her, holding a cane. He was Charlie Lysander, her grandfather.Slap!Suddenly, a harsh slap from the old man landed on Amora's cheek. The force of the slap knocked her to the floor.Amora's eyes widened in shock.

Tears streamed down her cheeks once more.Even though Kelvin had made his decision, Amora’s grandfather still tried to persuade him. Charlie couldn’t accept the decision just like that.“Mr. Walden, let’s discuss this further. I know you and Mrs. Walden are very angry about this. I’m humiliated as well. However, we have already dispatched the invitations. How can we cancel it just like that?” Charlie Lysander pleaded.As an elder, it was embarrassing for Charlie to bow his head to someone younger.

Do you still want to marry that filthy woman?" she snapped.Cassandra angrily pointed her finger at Amora, who felt cornered by her harsh words.A long sigh escaped Chris' lips.

    Regis frowned as he spotted Xavier sprawled out on the long sofa in his living room. He walked over to him. "Xavier, wake up," Regis said, yanking the couch pillow that was serving as his friend’s headrest. "Hmm?" Xavier cracked his eyes open lazily. "I'm tired, Regis. Let me sleep here for a bit." "Who gave you permission to sleep here? Didn’t I ask you to take Ray home after seven? Why are you back so early?" Regis questioned, demanding an explanation. Xavier let out a heavy sigh before finally sitting up. "Your kid couldn't wait to leave. Like hell, I was going to stop him." Xavier yawned widely, rubbing his face roughly to shake off his drowsiness. "You have no idea how exhausting it is dealing with your son. He completely drained my energy," he complained dramatically. "Just tell me what you want. Don’t pretend," Regis said, seeing right through his act. Xavier's eyes gleamed, and a wide grin spread across his face. "You really know me, buddy.""I knew it," Regis replied w

    "Dad’s cologne spilled earlier, Ray."Of course, Regis was lying. He had deliberately sprayed fragrance all over the room to mask the lingering scent of his passionate encounter with Amora. Luckily, Rayden hadn’t caught him in the act.His father’s answer didn’t satisfy Rayden at all. His eyes roamed the room until they landed on his mother, who was lying in bed. That was strange—she never slept at this hour.Sensing something was off, Rayden rushed to her side. “What’s wrong with Mom, Dad?” he asked, his voice laced with panic.Regis approached his son, who had climbed onto the bed. “She’s just sleeping, Ray. Let her rest for a while,” he said gently, trying to reassure him.But Rayden wasn’t convinced. Seeing his mother’s eyes still closed, he shook her arm lightly.Regis let out a quiet sigh. He understood how worried his son was about Amora.“Mom, it’s me, Ray. Wake up,” Rayden said softly.Slowly, Amora’s eyes fluttered open, though they still looked drowsy. “R-Ray… you’re home,

    "Ray’s home, Mom!"A sweet and adorable voice echoed throughout the penthouse. Regis’s son had just arrived on the front terrace of their home. He quickly took off his school shoes and switched to more comfortable indoor sandals."You’re such a mama’s boy," Xavier teased as he walked in behind him. He had been the one to bring Regis’s son home.They had just arrived when the sky had already turned dark. After training earlier, Xavier had taken Rayden to an indoor play area at a shopping mall.As per Regis’s instructions, Xavier was supposed to bring Rayden home after 7 PM. Regis had also asked him to take Rayden out for dinner before heading back to the penthouse. However, Xavier had to return earlier than planned because the boy had gotten bored and wanted to go home quickly."Hah, just admit that you’re jealous of me, Uncle," Rayden shot back, making Xavier gape at him in disbelief."Tsk, you little brat!" Xavier ruffled the boy’s hair, but Rayden quickly dodged and ran inside."May

    Amora’s breathing grew heavier. The heated exchange of saliva between her and Regis sent violent shivers through her body. Her mind drifted into a haze, surrendering completely to the way his tongue teased and indulged her.Slowly, Regis pulled away, breaking the kiss just long enough to draw in a breath, filling his lungs with much-needed air.“Amora, you’re driving me insane,” he growled, a wicked smirk curving his lips. The fire burning inside him was reaching its peak, and he was desperate to sate it.Without hesitation, he resumed his slow, intoxicating exploration of every inch of her. Just as he leaned in to claim those sweet lips again, Amora suddenly pressed her palm against his face, stopping him in his tracks.“Enough, Regis. I… I feel strange,” she murmured, her voice thick with emotion.But instead of pulling away, Regis seized her wrist, bringing her delicate fingers to his lips before slipping them into his mouth, savoring them one by one.“Regis!” Amora gasped, utterly

    "I'm tired, Regis. Let me sleep a little longer," Amora whispered, her eyes still closed tight, voice soft with the weight of exhaustion.Regis lay beside her, his strong arm wrapped around her slender waist, pulling her closer. There was no escaping it—she sank into his embrace, her head finding its place against his broad, muscular chest, the warmth of his skin seeping into her, calming her.Through the small crack of her barely open eyes, Amora caught a glimpse of the subtle, teasing smile tugging at the corner of Regis' lips. She couldn't help but notice how perfect he looked, his striking features and undeniable strength, a vision of a man who seemed untouchable.‘Why does he still have so much energy?’ Amora's thoughts were tinged with frustration.It didn’t seem fair. Now, lifting even a finger felt like an impossible task for her. Meanwhile, Regis seemed to glow with satisfaction, his handsome face exuding a confidence that only made him more irresistible."Baby ...." His voic

    "I hope you remember what you've said today. No regrets anymore, or ... I'll keep you by my side forever without any reason," Regis declared, leaning his face closer to Amora."You're the possessive type when you fall in love, huh?" Amora teased with a playful chuckle.However, her laughter was cut short when Regis suddenly captured her lips. He immediately savored the sweetness of the lips that had been tempting him all evening.Amora tried to follow Regis' rhythm, her arms slowly wrapping around his neck. This time, she met his kiss with intense passion.One of Regis' hands moved boldly, slipping inside Amora's clothing and finding a sensitive spot that drew a soft moan from her between their kisses. Slowly but surely, their steps carried them toward the awaiting bed, ready to be warmed by their embrace.Regis gradually broke the kiss, his chest still heaving. His sharp gaze softened, and his fingers gently brushed the strands of hair that obscured his view of Amora's captivating fa
