Back in Suegra State.

The Rodriguez mansion loomed ahead, its grand facade casting long shadows under the moonlight. The gravel crunched beneath the tires as the car rolled to a stop, and the tension inside the vehicle was thick enough to cut with a knife. As they stepped out, Alysha felt the weight of her own presence. She was surrounded by strangers who were supposed to be family, and every step she took felt heavier than the last.

The mansion’s doors opened, spilling warm, golden light onto the driveway as Gabriel and Lilian led the way inside. Alysha hesitated before following, her eyes darting to Armin, who gave her a nod. But there was no reassurance in his gaze—only the same cold determination she’d seen in the police station.

As they entered the mansion, the opulence of the place struck her: the high ceilings, the sweeping staircase, the rich tapestries, and crystal chandeliers. She felt small, like a ghost haunting a life she didn’t recognize. Her hands fidgeted nervously, a

    Alysha watched the scene unfold and felt the walls closing in on her. Everything about her presence seemed to tear open old wounds, even though she was missing. All she could feel was the cold, hollow ache of being both the cause and the victim of a family whose lives were falling apart around her.Alysha’s voice was a whisper, trembling with uncertainty as she dared to speak the words no one was expecting.“Armin, now you know I’m alive. And your parents are out of jail. Can we get a divorce?”Time seemed to stop. The room fell into a stunned silence, and every eye turned toward her, wide with shock. Lilian’s hand stilled, and Gabriel’s brow furrowed, his body going rigid. But the coldest reaction came from Armin. His eyes, once burning with anger and determination, were now locked onto Alysha, blazing with a fury so intense it was like staring into the barrel of a loaded gun.“What did you say?” Lilian’s voice trembled as she looked from Alysha to her son, desperately trying to und

She gripped the edge of the table so tightly her knuckles turned white. “Ivan…” she whispered, her voice laced with the kind of anger that only betrayal could fuel. Gabriel, unable to hold back his rage, surged forward before anyone could stop him.The sound of Gabriel’s palm connecting with Ivan’s cheek echoed through the room like a gunshot. Ivan’s head snapped to the side, and the force of the blow sent him staggering back a step.

    A heavy silence descended, each word striking like a hammer. Lilian gasped, her hand covering her mouth as she looked between the two men. “Ivan, you can’t mean—”But before she could finish, Gabriel’s voice exploded like a cannon, vibrating through the walls. “Ivan!” he roared, his face red with fury. “You still have the nerve to speak!”Alysha’s breath caught in her throat as the tension in the room reached a boiling point. She glanced at Ivan, feeling the heat of every eye on her, the weight of expectation, accusation, and judgment. Ivan’s expression remained fierce, resolute.“She belongs to me now, Gabriel,” Ivan said, his voice firm, claiming his stake. “Alysha is my woman.”Before anyone could react, Ivan’s hand shot out, gripping Alysha’s wrist. With a forceful tug, he pulled her to his chest, his hold possessive and unyielding. The room fell into stunned silence. She looked up at him, her breath quickening as she felt his arms wrap around her, the warmth of his body pressing

    The tension thickened, every eye fixed on Ivan as he paused, savoring the moment.

Lilian gasped, stumbling back as her hand flew to her mouth, eyes wide with horror. Gabriel’s face drained of color, and he stared at Ivan as if seeing a ghost. “What...?” he whispered, his voice cracking.Alysha stood frozen, her body going rigid as the shock settled into her bones. Her mind raced, but she couldn’t find the words—she couldn’t even breathe.Armin’s expression was a mixture of fury and disbelief. “What are you saying?” he demanded, his voice barely above a whisper as he fought to hold onto the shreds of control.Ivan’s smile widened, and he tilted his head, his eyes never leaving Armin’s. “My two-year-old daughter, Sisi.”The revelation hung in the air, and everyone stood paralyzed as t

    Alysha’s hand flew to her chest, her breath shallow as she struggled to keep her composure. “Armin… you’re still with Seraphina Holland,” she said, her voice tinged with a mix of accusation and desperation. “She even claims herself as your wife.”Armin’s eyes flashed, but he shrugged it off, a dismissive smile playing on his lips. “Ah… that’s nonsense.” He waved a hand, like swatting away a fly. “She’s just saying that. But I never married her.”Alysha’s eyes hardened, and she pulled back, trying to create distance between them. “That’s between you and her, Armin. But I don’t want to be a part of it anymore.” Her voice wavered, but there was a strength behind it, a plea that came from deep within. “Please… let me go.”Armin’s smile faded, replaced with a dark, calculating look. “Let you go where, Doctor Alysha Jarl?”The words hit her like a punch, and she felt her breath hitch. Her eyes widened, and she felt the blood drain from her face. “You… you know?” she whispered, her voice bar

    Alysha’s voice was trembling, but she forced herself to speak. “Listen to me, Armin. I have no memory of my past. I forgot everything. But one thing I couldn’t forget is Ivan.”Armin’s eyes narrowed, skepticism written all over his face as he rolled his eyes, brushing off her words like an inconvenience. “Oh, please…” he muttered, his tone laced with disbelief. “And what’s that supposed to mean?”But Ivan’s reaction was different. His eyes lit up, a flash of hope breaking through the tension in his face. His heart surged, beating like a drum in his chest. Alysha’s choice was clear—she chose him.Alysha’s hands trembled as she spoke, her eyes shifting downward, her voice quiet but resolute. “I forgot everything, even myself… but the one thing that stayed with me, the one thing I could remember—was his face. His name. Ivan.”Armin scratched the back of his neck, his expression a mask of irritation as he glared at her. “And what does that even mean, Alysha?” he snapped, his frustration m

    Ivan’s grip around Alysha tightened, his eyes flashing with determination as he stared down Armin. “You don’t have to sign the divorce papers, Armin,” he growled, his voice low and filled with defiance. “I’ll make the divorce happen without your signature.”The room went silent, every breath held in suspense. Armin’s eyes darkened, a dangerous glint sparking in his gaze. He tilted his head, assessing his uncle as if daring him to make the next move. “You think you can just take her from me, Ivan?” he asked, his voice dripping with cold amusement. “You really think that’ll work?”Ivan’s jaw clenched, but he remained unfazed. “Yes, I do,” he shot back. “There are ways to make it happen. And I’m not letting her stay trapped in this loveless arrangement.”Alysha’s heart raced, feeling the tension between the two men escalate. Ivan’s hold on her was firm, protective, but the stakes were high, and she could see the fire burning in Armin’s eyes. This was no longer just about family commitmen

She deserves better.”Armin’s smile was cruel, his eyes filled with a calculating gleam. “And what does ‘better’ look like, Ivan?” He took a slow, deliberate step closer, challenging Ivan with every move. “You think you can just steal her away and everything will be fine? That you’ll just walk out of here and live some fairytale?”Gabriel, sensing the escalation, h

Because you have no idea the powerful place you’ve achieved.”Alysha’s heart raced at his words, her mind swirling with questions and emotions. What does he mean?Ivan’s smirk deepened as he glanced at Seraphina, whose face was contorted in a mixture of shock and fury.

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.

    Alysha turned away, her hand clutching the strap of the bag as she stood, moving toward the bedroom. And as she left him standing there in silence, Ivan understood that this was only the beginning of a long journey—one he was willing to walk, no matter how long it took.Alysha stepped into the bathroom, closing the door softly behind her, feeling the weight of the evening pressing down on her. The quiet hum of the house seemed to grow louder as she leaned against the door, exhaling a shaky breath, her hand pressed over her heart. She could still feel the intensity of Ivan’s gaze, his words echoing in her mind, a steady, relentless pull that she struggled to resist.She moved toward the mirror, her reflection staring back at her, raw and tired, emotions flickering across her face—anger, sadness, and something else, something that lingered beneath the surface, too complicated to name.

    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

    Little Sisi’s small legs carried her across the room as fast as they could, her soft giggles replaced by panicked cries. 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. Without hesitation, Alysha bent down and scooped her daughter into her arms, holding her tightly against her chest. Sisi buried her face in Alysha’s shoulder, her small body trembling as she whispered, “Mommy, no leave Sisi. Please.” Alysha’s heart shattered at her daughter’s plea. Tears welled in her eyes as she kissed Sisi’s head, her lips brushing against her soft orange curls. “Shh, my angel,” she murmured, her voice breaking. “Mommy’s here.” Sisi pulled back slightly, he
