Ivan’s voice was firm, his eyes blazing with determination as he stood before Alysha in their small, temporary apartment.

The light outside was dim, the shadows of the evening creeping into the room, but his presence was anything but shadowed—he was a force, a wall of protection between her and the chaos of her past life.

“You do not have to meet with him, Alysha,” he insisted, his tone filled with urgency and warning. “Armin is too clever, too dangerous. He’s not just going to let you walk away.”

Alysha’s hands twisted nervously as she paced the room, her mind reeling from the brief phone call with Armin. She felt the weight of Ivan’s words, the truth in them pressing down on her. She knew Ivan was right—Armin was cunning, and he had resources she couldn’t even begin to comprehend. But a part of her still felt torn, a small voice whispering that she needed to face him one last time.

Ivan stepped closer, placing a hand on her shoulder, his grip both gentle and strong. “He’ll do whate

    It was late, past midnight, when the phone rang. The screen lit up with Armin’s name, the letters like a ghost from the past. Alysha stared at it, her heart pounding. Ivan, who had been asleep next to her, stirred, his hand instinctively reaching for hers. “Is it him?”She nodded, her throat tight. “It’s him.”Ivan’s eyes sharpened, and he sat up, his face calm but alert. “Don’t answer. Let him leave a message.”But Alysha knew Armin. The silence would only make him angrier. She took a deep breath and swiped to answer, pressing the phone to her ear.“What do you want, Armin?”There was a pause, and then his voice, low and seething. “What do I want? I want you to explain this—this insult you’ve thrown in my face.” The venom in his words sent a chill down her spine, but she forced herself to stay calm.“It’s over, Armin. It’s been over for a long time. I’m just making it official.”His laugh was cold, a sound she had heard so many times. “Official? Official? You think a piece of paper m

  • When Betray Brings Mr. Right   My client has endured years of harassment

    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.

    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

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 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.
