Alysha’s lawyer stood, his presence calm and commanding, his voice resonating with a quiet intensity that instantly commanded the room’s attention. “Your Honor, my client has endured years of harassment, financial control, and emotional abuse at the hands of this family. This is not about abandoning marital duties—this is about survival.” His words hung heavy in the air, a stark contrast to the accusations thrown by Armin’s side.

He paused, letting the silence settle before continuing. “Ms. Jarl, when she entered this marriage, was unaware of the dangers that awaited her. She was attacked multiple times by unknown enemies, and these incidents were not isolated. These attacks led to her suffering significant trauma, including memory loss.” He gestured toward Alysha, who stood tall, though the weight of her past seemed to press down on her. “She has faced constant threats to her life, time and time again.”

    The atmosphere inside the courtroom grew heavier, the air almost crackling with tension. The judge, sensing the escalating stakes, called for order. “Enough of this back and forth. We will finish this matter here and now.”Armin’s lawyer immediately rose to his feet. “Your Honor, we oppose this proposal of invalidating the marriage. It is an insult to the institution and was orchestrated purely to gain leverage.”Alysha’s lawyer countered with equal determination. “Your Honor, this proposal is not a tactic. It is a legitimate attempt to rectify an unjust situation. My client has been trapped in a sham marriage, and she deserves the chance to choose her own path.”The judge’s expression was unyielding as she looked between the two parties. “I have heard enough.” She glanced down at her notes, then lifted her gaze to address the room. “The marriage between Alysha Jarl and Armin Rodriguez Suegra is under question, and the evidence presented indicates that this union was never properly c

    Gabriel’s face flushed with anger, his entire body trembling as he pointed a finger at Ivan, his eyes blazing. “You cannot be serious, Ivan! Alysha and Armin need time—time to understand each other. Then Armin will have his chance to marry her, the right way.”Ivan’s expression remained unreadable, a perfect poker face as he watched Gabriel unravel. “Is that so?” he said, his voice cold and calculated. “Then tell me, Gabriel—are you willing to risk the Jarl project for the sake of ‘understanding’? Are you really prepared to walk away from a $300 billion opportunity because you’re too proud to adapt?”Gabriel’s eyes flared, and his entire body shook as he roared, “Ivan!!!!!!!”Ivan remained silent, his face as impassive as stone, his gaze steady and unwavering. He knew he had forced them into a corner, and he was content to let Gabriel rage—it was all part of his plan. But there was one person Ivan hadn’t expected to react as quickly: Armin.Armin’s eyes narrowed, a calculating glint f

    Ivan drove fast, the intensity in his eyes focused straight ahead, his grip tight on the wheel. But then, as if something snapped inside him, he swerved the car off the road and parked on the gravel shoulder, the engine rumbling softly as they came to a stop.Alysha’s breath was still shallow, her chest heaving as she turned to look at him. “Ivan, what—”But before she could finish, Ivan reached for her, his hands warm as they cupped her face. His eyes were dark, filled with a hunger and longing that spoke of all the years he’d spent missing her, waiting for her, fighting for her. “I can’t hold back anymore,” he murmured, his voice rough, his thumb tracing the line of her jaw. “I missed you, Alysha. I missed you so damn much.”He closed the distance between them, his lips capturing hers in a kiss that was urgent, almost desperate. The intensity of it sent a shiver down her spine, and she felt her body melt against him. His hands held her face with a gentle but possessive grip, like he

Sometimes… letting go is the only way forward.”He stilled, his face shadowed with a heartbreak he hadn’t prepared for, his jaw tightening as he absorbed the truth in her words. Yet, as painful as it was, he didn’t move, his gaze fixed on her, his silence a quiet acknowledgment of the distance that lay between them.Without a word, Ivan moved closer, his expression dark and determined as he scooped her into his arms, cradling her against his chest.

    Heinz’s voice broke the tense silence in the foyer, his tone softer but carrying the weight of a command wrapped in concern. “Alysha, you must be tired,” he said, gesturing toward the grand staircase. “Why don’t you and Ivan go to your room? Take some time to rest.”Alysha turned to look at Heinz, her eyes wary, catching the subtle insistence in his tone. She could sense the layers beneath his words—the way he spoke as though her resistance were nothing more than fatigue, a temporary lapse that rest could fix.

    The convoy of sleek black cars pulled up to the sprawling gates of **Anderson State**, a place that had been shrouded in silence and mystery for decades. The estate was massive, its grand architecture looming against the gray Boston sky, surrounded by acres of well-manicured land that bore the scars of neglect. As the gates creaked open, Alysha peered out of the car window, her heart pounding. The sight of the mansion took her breath away—its towering columns and elegant stone façade exuded a timeless grandeur, but the faded paint and overgrown gardens hinted at years of abandonment. Sisi sat on Alysha’s lap, her tiny hands gripping her mother’s jacket tightly. She looked up at Alysha and whispered, “Mommy… big house.” Alysha managed a small smile, brushing her fingers through Sisi’s curls. “Yes, my angel,” she murmured, though unease prickled at the edges of her mind. Ivan, seated beside her, stared out the window, his jaw tight. His piercing blue eyes scanned the estate, hi

She didn’t understand the tension in the air or the argument unfolding between the adults, but she knew one thing for certain—she needed her mother, no matter what. “Mommy!” Sisi called, her voice trembling as she reached Alysha and grabbed the hem of her dress with her tiny hands.

Alone, unprotected?”Alysha’s throat tightened, but before she could respond, Ivan’s gaze darkened even further. “Even your little sister
