Andrine shook her head, her expression a mix of disbelief and frustration. “He’s Ivan Anderson Suegra, Alysha. One of the richest men alive. I don’t get it. Why just a one-year marriage? Why not something more permanent?”

Alysha hesitated, her fingers brushing over the edge of her scarf as she looked away, the moonlight reflecting off her pale features. “I’m afraid,” she admitted softly, her voice barely audible over the faint rustling of the trees. “I can’t trust anyone, Andrine. Not after everything.”

Andrine narrowed her eyes, her sharp mind working through her sister’s words. “So, what? You’re planning to leave him after a year?”

Alysha said nothing, her silence confirming Andrine’s suspicions. The younger woman’s lips parted to speak, but she held back, recognizing the weight Alysha was carrying. Instead, she sighed deeply, stepping closer to her sister as they walked.

The sound of flowing water grew louder as they approached the riverside. The scene before them was breathtaking,

    Alysha pushed open the door to the military villa, exhaustion weighing heavily on her shoulders. But as she stepped inside, she froze, her eyes widening. Shopping bags—luxurious shopping bags—were scattered across the room, stacked high and gleaming with the names of the most exclusive boutiques in the city. She felt her heart sink, dread pooling in her stomach.Charles was sitting on the sofa, his expression dark, his hands folded tightly as he stared at the floor. The tension in the air was palpable, and Alysha could feel the accusation even before he looked up.“Charles… what is all this?” she asked, her voice careful as she tried to read his expression.He didn’t look at her immediately. When he finally did, his eyes were filled with anger and something else—something like betrayal. “Suegra bodyguards left them here,” he said flatly, his voice low and edged with frustration. “Armin sent them.”Alysha’s breath caught, and she felt her hands clench at her sides. “What?” she whispere

    Alysha felt the exhaustion in her bones, the weight of everything she was trying to manage. “I know it’s hard, Charles,” she said quietly. “But you have to trust me. I’m doing everything I can to stay out of his control.”Charles finally sighed, the anger draining from his face as he took a step back. “Alright. But if I find out he’s behind this...”Alysha nodded. “I understand.”But as she watched him tuck the cheque away, she knew things between them were still fragile, and one misstep could shatter everything.At that moment, Andrine walked in, her sharp heels clicking against the tiled floor. Alysha lingered off to the side, nervous and silent, her eyes darting between her sister and the towering, muscular figure of Charles Sternly.Charles immediately stiffened at the sight of Andrine, his arms crossing over his broad chest as his expression darkened. “What the hell are you doing here, kid?” he barked, his tone sharp and dismissive.Andrine, undeterred, crossed her own arms and m

    Andrine sauntered over to the sofa with a smug air, plopped herself down, and dramatically swung her legs over the armrest. Her nonchalance was infuriating, especially under Charles’s seething glare. He stood there, his arms crossed and his jaw tight, trying to process her audacity as if it were some impossible mathematical equation.“What the hell are you doing?” Charles finally demanded, his voice low but simmering with anger.“Enjoying my time,” Andrine replied breezily, waving a dismissive hand as though she were lounging on a beach and not causing chaos in a military officer’s villa.Charles’s fists clenched at his sides, his patience fraying by the second. “Go to Holland Villa,” he barked, his tone sharp.Andrine turned her head lazily to look at him, her lips curling into a smirk. “Why is your ass itching so much, Charles?” she asked, her voice dripping with mock concern.A sharp intake of breath echoed through the room as the servants and military personnel who were pretending

  • When Betray Brings Mr. Right   How to get Sisi?

    Alysha lay on her bed, the cool sheets offering little comfort against the storm brewing inside her. The military villa was silent, the faint hum of the air conditioning the only sound as she stared up at the ceiling, her mind far from the room she was in. She felt a heaviness in her chest, a weight that refused to lift no matter how many deep breaths she took.Her thoughts were consumed by a single name—Sisi.Her daughter’s face appeared in her mind’s eye, vivid and clear. She remembered the warmth of Sisi’s tiny arms wrapped around her neck, the soft giggles that filled the room, the way her eyes sparkled with innocent joy. Now, that memory felt like a distant dream, something she could barely touch. Her heart clanged, the ache sharp and unrelenting, as she thought of how long it had been since she last held her daughter.“Sisi…” she whispered into the empty room, her voice cracking as she closed her eyes, trying to keep the tears at bay. But they came anyway, hot and heavy, rolling

    Alysha pulled out of the compound, her heart pounded in her chest, a mix of fear and determination coursing through her veins. The drive to the old pier felt like an eternity, the city lights fading into the darkness of the waterfront. She knew this area well—it was the kind of place that harbored both secrets and danger, a perfect spot for an ambush.She parked the car at a distance, careful to stay out of sight as she moved through the maze of abandoned warehouses and crumbling docks. The wind carried the salty tang of the sea, mixing with the scent of decay and rust. She moved quietly, her senses heightened, her eyes scanning every corner.When she reached the pier, she saw nothing but shadows. The wooden planks creaked under her boots as she walked further, every sound amplified in the silence of the early morning.Then, she heard it—a faint shuffle of movement. Her hand instinctively went to her weapon, her grip tight. “I’m here,” she called out, her voice steady despite the fear

    Armin's grip on the steering wheel tightened as they sped through the darkened streets. He glanced at Alysha, his jaw set with both anger and concern. “Never go somewhere alone again,” he said, his voice low and serious. “You have no idea how dangerous this city really is.”Alysha’s eyes flashed with frustration as she turned to face him, her voice edged with bitterness. “And who exactly should I have asked to come with me, Armin? My little sister, Andrine?” she shot back, the emotion in her voice unmistakable. “Who do I have left?”Armin’s eyes flicked to hers, and he hitched at her words. “Hey, don’t even think about dragging her into this,” he snapped, his voice more forceful than he intended. “She’s Bjorn’s wife. She has nothing to do with this mess.”Alysha’s face softened, but her eyes were filled with a quiet, heartbreaking truth. “Exactly, Armin,” she whispered, her voice heavy with sadness. “Andrine has her own life, her own battles. And what about me? I’m all alone. I don’t

I just left her alone in Boston. I came here to search for Sisi.”Alton leaned back in his chair, his expression turning serious. “She just returned to your life after three years, Ivan. You just got married, and then you left her alone?”Ivan’s eyes narrowed, and he felt a sting of guilt creeping up his spine

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.

    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. He was giving her no choice, and the authority in his voice reminded her just how deep the control in this family ran.Ivan, too, glanced at her, his gaze unreadable, though there was a flicker of something softer in his eyes, an unspoken plea. He took a step forward, his hand reaching out just slightly, as if to guide her. “Come on, Alysha,” he murmured, his voice low. “Let’s go upstairs.”Alysha held her ground, her jaw tightening. Her instinct was to refuse, to keep her dista

  • When Betray Brings Mr. Right   Anderson state

    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. Alysha looked down, her amber eyes softening as Sisi clung to her, her little face scrunched with worry.

You don’t know your past, your enemies, or the people who would happily see you destroyed. And yet, you think it’s safe to live like that? Alone, unprotected?”Alysha’s throat tightened, but before she could respond, Ivan’s gaze darkened even further. “Even your little sister
