**Demetri's POV**

I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my jaw clenched so tightly it ached. The image of Snow’s hand striking my cheek replayed in my mind like a cruel joke. The sting had long faded, but the humiliation still burned, searing deeper than any physical pain ever could.

No woman had ever dared reject me before. Every woman I wanted, I got. They all came to me willingly, some begged for my attention, and others were willing to give up everything just to have a piece of me. And yet, she… she dared to push me away. To slap me. To look at me as if I was nothing.

Rage coiled in my chest, tightening like a vice. My fingers curled into a fist, my nails digging into my palm.

Who the hell does she think she is?

With a sharp exhale, I drove my fist into the mirror. The impact sent fractures splintering across the glass, distorting my reflection into a maze of broken pieces. But it wasn’t enough. I hit it again, harder this time. The cracks deepened, and a few shards loosen

    Two days after the Masquerade Party... **Demetri's POV** "Aren’t we going to do anything else?" the woman beside me asked, her voice sweet and teasing. The room was dim, the scent of perfume and cigarette smoke clinging to the air like an unshakable haze. The warmth of bare skin pressed against mine, but I barely felt it. With a slow inhale, I smoke my cigarette, letting the smoke curl past my lips. A second woman shifted closer, her fingers trailing lazily across my abdomen, tracing the lines of muscle with deliberate slowness. "You have a great tattoo," she murmured, her voice dripping with admiration as she let her nails skim over the ink sprawling across my stomach. I followed her gaze, my own eyes locking onto the dark designs covering my skin. What she saw was art and what I saw were shields. Thick black ink covered the scars of a past I wished to forget. I could still feel the faint sting of old wounds, the memories of my stepmother's cruelty marked on my skin. I pulled

    **Snow's POV** I woke up to an unsettling silence. No good night text from Marcus. Last night, he dropped me off at home around 10 PM. I had been wanting to leave the birthday party of one of his friends. It had only been two days since the masquerade party, yet Marcus had already convinced me to attend another event. I hadn’t wanted to go, but saying no to him always felt impossible. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t enjoy myself. The atmosphere was loud and overwhelming, filled with unfamiliar faces. But anyway, Marcus never left my side, making sure I didn’t feel out of place among his friends and acquaintances at the bar. He told me he wouldn’t be going back to the party after dropping me off because he had an important meeting with someone. Once he made sure I got home safely, he left, heading to meet one of his business clients. He had insisted on driving me himself, even when I told him his driver could take me instead. But Marcus was stubborn like that. He alway

    I didn’t answer Marcus’s question. Slowly, I lowered my phone, my gaze hardening as it settled on Feurene. And that’s when I noticed her earrings. A pair of delicate ruby studs, their tiny red and white stones glimmering under the dim light. Something about them felt… familiar. A creeping sense of unease coiled in my chest as I stared at them, my mind racing, trying to recall where I had seen them before. The intricate gem setting, the way the stones caught the light and every detail was too familiar. Then, it hit me. I had seen those earrings before. Not just anywhere. But on the very woman, Marcus was kissing in the photo I received this morning. "I just miss my fiancé," I murmured, my voice calm but laced with an unmistakable chill. Feurene laughed, oblivious to the storm brewing inside me. "Weren't you just together last night? You might get tired of each other if you're always together." I forced a chuckle. Before I could say anything, Manang Lucelle stepped in, her

    SICILY, ITALY... **Demetri's POV** I placed the two briefcases on the table with a firm thud, the weight of their contents undeniable. Inside them were twelve kilograms of heroin, each brick wrapped tightly, worth a total of a million dollars. With a calculated motion, I flipped open both cases, revealing the pristine product. My eyes locked on the man standing across from me, an Italian businessman who knew the stakes just as well as I did. "Sixty percent purity range comes at a high price," I said evenly. "As we agreed, this heroin costs a million dollars." He didn’t hesitate. Stepping forward, he placed his briefcase on the table and opened it, revealing neatly stacked bills. A million dollars, just as promised. After exchanging the goods, we shook hands. However, before we could part ways, the police stormed in, disrupting the deal. My instincts took over. In one swift move, I grabbed the cash with one hand and reached for my gun with the other. My men reacted instantly, dra

    **Third Person POV** She ran after Demetri when he started walking away. Her mind was spinning, her chest tightening with unease. Where had Marcus gone? His long strides had put too much distance between them, and she struggled to keep up. As they turned a corner, Demetri suddenly stopped in his tracks. She peeked past him, trying to see what had caught his attention. Then, she saw him. Marcus. Standing inside the elevator with another man, just as the doors were closing. Panic surged through her. Without thinking, she pushed past Demetri and slammed her finger on the open button. But it was too late. The elevator had already begun its ascent. Her heart pounded as she watched the floor indicator. 20th floor. She pressed the button again, waiting—desperate. But the moment the doors slid open, just as she was about to press the close button, Demetri stopped her. His hand darted forward, pressing the ground-floor button instead. She snapped her head toward him, disbelief flood

    **Snow's POV** I turned my head toward the dance floor, my vision slightly blurred from the alcohol coursing through my system. My body felt light, almost floating, but the ache in my chest remained unbearable. Even in my drunken state, I made a choice... to lose myself in the music, in the bodies moving around me, in the strangers who didn’t know my name or my pain. This wasn’t me. I didn’t do this. Bars, crowds, and men pressing too close, I avoided them at all costs. I hated the way too many eyes made me feel small like I was prey. But tonight, I didn’t care. Pushing past the writhing bodies, I found my rhythm, my hips swaying in time with the heavy bass. The world around me spun, but I kept moving. I didn’t care what would happen tomorrow. I didn’t care if I regretted this the moment I woke up. Right now, all I wanted was to drown out the betrayal, to silence the voice in my head reminding me of the man who broke me. The one I trusted. The one I thought was different. A shrie

    **Demetri's POV** As Snow’s lips pressed against mine, I instinctively closed my eyes, letting the taste of alcohol linger between us. She was drunk, there was no denying that. But when I kissed her back, she didn’t resist. If anything, she leaned in, her fingers tightening around the lapel of my coat as if holding on for dear life. I cupped her cheek, deepening the kiss, my tongue sliding into her mouth but she didn’t know how to kiss. Is this for real?! Or maybe, she's just drunk and alcohol makes her sanity forget how to execute a French kiss. But if it's real, it amazes me. Snow and Marcus had been together for five years, there was no way they hadn’t made out before. And yet, her movements were unpracticed, uncertain. As if she had never kissed anyone like this before. I pulled back slightly, staring at her pretty face. Her hazel brown eyes were half-lidded, and her usually flawless cheeks flushed a deep red. She looked dazed, lost. And yet, even in this state, she was gorg

    **Snow's POV** A gentle piano melody woke me up. My eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the bright light filling the room. My head hurt a little, and my body felt strangely heavy. I sat up, feeling confused. This wasn’t my room. The bed was much softer than mine, and the silky sheets felt cool against my skin. The air smelled like expensive cologne and fresh flowers. I looked around, my breath catching as I saw my surroundings. This place… it was nothing like my bedroom. Large windows with sheer white curtains let golden sunlight pour in. The high ceiling had beautiful designs, and a crystal chandelier sparkled in the center. Soft carpets, delicate paintings, and gold decorations filled the room. Everything looked rich, elegant, and expensive. I froze. This wasn’t just a fancy hotel room. This was a penthouse. Fear rushed through me. I pushed the blankets away and sat up, my bare feet touching the soft rug. My heart beat fast. How did I get here? Why was I in this place? And then.

    The next morning, Snow woke up to bright sunlight filling the room. It was so strong that it hurt her eyes, and she could barely open them. Her head ached with a dull pain, and when she sat up, she let out a small groan because the pain was too much. She rubbed her forehead, hoping to make it feel better. Then she noticed a man sitting nearby, reading. He wore glasses and was focused on the paper in his hands, not noticing that she was looking at him. Her jaw dropped when she fully recognized him. Fúck… he was drop-dead gorgeous. He looked incredibly handsome in those glasses. It was the first time she had seen him like that. As he turned to look at her with those intense, charming eyes, she couldn’t help but swallow nervously. Demetri was right there, sitting a bit away in front of her. He’d fúcking arrived. She’d thought he was still in Italy, and for a fleeting moment, she’d believed the steamy, filthy fúck-fest from last night was just a dream but it was real. She’d thought it w

    Snow impulsively grabbed his bulging cóck, eliciting a low groan from him. Her lips parted as he yanked down his underwear himself, his massive díck springing free. She gripped it, marveling at its thick girth. Fúck, it was huge, mind-blowingly so. This guy’s côck matched her husband’s girth and length perfectly. He stepped closer, his hand tilting her jaw. “Open your mouth wide and suck my díck, honey…” he commanded. She’d tried it with Demetri before, but she knew he thought she sucked at blówjobs. She wasn’t good at it, but fúck it, she wanted to try again. She grabbed his hardened cóck again, licking the tip with slow, teasing flicks. He groaned softly, his hips twitching at her touch. He fúcking loved it. Of course, Demetri loved it. Snow’s warm mouth was heaven, even if she wasn’t a pro at sucking díck. The heat of her lips, stroking and licking his tip with her soft warm tongue, sent him soaring to ecstasy. Snow picked up the pace, struggling with his sheer size, her ey

    Demetri turned sharply toward his wife. She was still lying in bed, barely moving. The effects of the drug were clearly not yet wearing off. If anything, her body heat seemed to be rising even more. She was visibly uncomfortable. And unless someone did something about it, that drug’s effect wouldn’t fade on its own. “I... n-need water...” Snow whimpered weakly. With an irritated sigh, Demetri released Marcus and stood up. Just as he stepped toward the bed to check on her, Marcus suddenly kicked him hard behind the knees. Demetri dropped to the floor in pain, clutching his leg where the impact landed. Marcus didn’t stop there. He delivered several sharp kicks to Demetri’s torso. But Demetri caught the last one, twisted Marcus’s leg, and tugged him down. Marcus crashed to the floor. Now both of them were on the ground, bruised and breathless but neither willing to surrender. “P-Please... I need s-some water...” Snow pleaded again from the bed. “What the hell happened to her?!” Deme

    "Welcome back to the Philippines, sir," Tiara greeted him just like always. One of his staff is always present. Every time Demetri returned home, Tiara was the one waiting. But despite the years they'd worked together, he had never once seen her smile. Never heard her laugh."How's Italy, sir?" she asked in her usual serious tone."Boring..." Demetri muttered as he walked toward the car waiting to take him to the penthouse. He was supposed to stay in Italy for two weeks, but he’d cut the trip short. He wasn’t the same Demetri who once indulged in the charm of Italian women. The one who used to fly there just to play with fire. Now, only one woman occupied his thoughts—his wife, Snow, whom he missed more than he could admit.The longing had become unbearable, so he came home.But it wasn’t just longing that brought him back, it was the frustration too. Snow had barely been answering his calls or replying to his messages. So he decided to surprise her."Let’s stop by a flower shop. I w

    Marcus pulled away. He ended the kiss even though it was obvious he didn’t want to. His hands lingered, his breath shaky, and his eyes? Full of frustration, longing, and a quiet disappointment. But he still gently pushed her back, like it physically hurt him to let go. He opened the car door, holding himself together, even if the storm inside him was obvious. Outside, Snow bodyguards, Oscar and Marshall waited, pretending they hadn’t just watched everything. “Let’s go,” Marcus said softly. She glared at him. “You need some rest,” he added, reaching out for her wrist. She jerked her arm away before he could touch her, her frustration rising like a tide. Rest? Was he serious? The only thing she wanted right now… was him. Still, he helped her out of the car. Attentive, annoyingly so. When she tripped slightly, he caught her fast and steady. Her arms wrapped around his neck before she even realized it. And she didn’t let go. In fact... she held on tighter. Maybe that was her mist

    **Third Person POV** Snow heard Demetria call out Marcus’s name. He immediately turned and rushed toward them. Snow gripped Demetria’s arm tightly, her strength slipping away as she fought against the blurring in her vision. Through the haze, she could still make out Marcus’s face, his features etched with deep worry as he took in her condition. “What do we do? Should we take her to the hospital?” Marcus asked, his voice strained with panic. Snow raised her hand to stop him. She motioned no, already knowing exactly what he was thinking. A hospital was always his first response whenever she felt unwell. It was just his nature... so caring, thoughtful, overly protective even. That was part of what made her fall for him. She still remembered back in junior high, burning up with a high fever but forcing herself to show up for an important exam. She could barely focus but didn’t want to miss it. Then, out of nowhere, Marcus, already a senior high student at the time, stormed into her c

    I’d been drowning in events these past few days, press conferences, interviews, and non-stop photo ops. It was exhausting. Every single one of them sapped a bit more of my energy like I was performing on autopilot. Thankfully, a short break was just around the corner. Tonight, I had something to look forward to. Hugo, my manager, invited me and Demetria to his birthday celebration at an exclusive night bar. I didn’t even hesitate to say yes. I’d been stuck alone in the penthouse almost every night, slowly being driven mad by the silence and the isolation. I needed this. A night out. A little taste of freedom while Demetri was still out of the country. I already knew he would never allow me to attend a party like this without him around. Oscar and Marshall didn’t put up a fight either. It helped that Demetria had already volunteered to explain everything to her oh-so-controlling brother. I turned my head toward the entrance and frowned slightly as more people poured in. The intima

    I sat there, blankly staring at my reflection in the vanity mirror, completely out of it. My phone buzzed again, Demetri was calling, for the third time this morning. I didn’t answer. Instead, I picked up my brush and began combing my hair. I had a press conference to attend later with the other Sandstorm talents, and just the thought of the questions the media might throw at me was already enough to rattle my nerves. I closed my eyes for a moment. Once again, my mind drifted back to that simple dream Marcus and I used to share... having a happy, big family. Seven kids. Crazy, right? On our fifth anniversary as a couple, he took me to this wide, open field full of sunflowers. We had a picnic there, and that’s where the talk about having a family began. Between the two of us, Marcus had always been the more excited one about having children. I could still feel the warmth of his smile as he spoke about our future, lying beside me under a bright, cloudless sky. It hurts—God, it still

    When we finally arrived at the Sylvestre mansion, I immediately called Manang Lucelle and asked her to meet us outside the gate. She came out quickly, and the moment she saw my two bodyguards helping Marcus stand, she opened the gate for us. “You didn’t have to go out of your way to bring him here,” she said, her voice soft but with a hint of disapproval. “You could’ve just called and had Don Demetrius’s driver pick him up.” “It’s too far,” I answered, meeting her eyes. “I didn’t want to risk any delay.” She gave me a small, knowing smile, then nodded politely. “Aren’t you coming in?” she asked me. I shook my head in response, a small, silent gesture. “I’ll just wait here,” I said quietly. She didn’t say anything after that. She simply turned around and walked away, leaving me there alone. I stayed in the backseat, my hands resting quietly on my lap while I waited for Oscar and Marshall to come back. The mansion stood silently in front of us. Just as my eyes drifted toward t
