As Liana stepped into the apartment, she found her mother relaxing on the couch, munching on some snacks. “Good evening, mom,” Liana greeted, settling down beside her.Mrs. Victoria, turning her attention to her daughter, frowned slightly. “Liana, you’re home early,” she commented. “I thought you’d be staying over at the Black residence today. What’s wrong?”Liana sighed, a flicker of frustration in her eyes.“I just missed you,” Liana said, trying to hide the disappointment in her voice. “And I guess I’m a bit annoyed at Tony. He’s always busy with work and never seems to have time for me.”Mrs. Victoria’s words were filled with warmth and understanding. “Liana, I can see how much you love Tony, and I know he loves you too. He works hard because he wants to provide for you and give you the life you deserve. Don’t let your frustration get the better of you.”Liana listened to her mother’s words, her expression softening slightly. But before she could respond, her phone rang, the disp

At night, in the Black’s Mansion, Liana was engaged in a phone conversation with her mother. Just then, a knock at the door disturbed the quiet of the evening. Liana promptly hung up and rose from her bed to answer the door. A maid, standing patiently in the doorway, greeted her with a polite nod."Good evening, ma'am," the maid began. "Mr. Tony asked me what you would like to eat, so that I may serve it to you."Liana declined the offer, stating that she would be downstairs shortly.The maid nodded, her expression placid, before retreating down the hallway. Liana wasted no time returning to her room, changing into the elegant nightgown Tony had purchased for her.Once dressed, Liana made her way downstairs, expecting to see Mr. and Mrs. Black. To her surprise, the living room was empty save for Tony, who was deeply engrossed in his phone. He appeared not to notice her at first, until Liana called his name."Tony," she said, her voice cutting through the silence of the room.Tony's ga

On the ride back from the wedding, Tony and Liana sat in uncomfortable silence, the once-sweet anticipation of their wedding night replaced by a heavy, unspoken tension. As Liana attempted to engage her new husband in conversation, Tony remained coldly distant, ignoring her attempts to connect.When they finally arrived at their new home, Tony exited the car, without saying a word, making his way to the door without a second glance. Liana watched him go, her heart sinking with each step he took away from her.As Liana entered the living room, her voice held a hint of desperation as she tried to reach her husband. “Tony, why are you doing this? What’s wrong?” she asked, a hint of hurt creeping into her voice. But Tony simply sat in silence, glued to his phone, his body language radiating cold indifference.Liana watched him, her mind racing with unanswered questions. “Was this how their marriage was going to be? Had she made a mistake? She couldn’t shake the feeling that something wa

"Tony ignored her and continued chatting on his phone, not even deigning to glance in Liana's direction. Tears trickled down her face as she struggled to comprehend the devastating news he had just imparted. Still reeling from his deceitful confession, she plucked up the courage to address him once more.“Tony,” she said, her voice tremulous as she tapped him on the shoulder.He looked up from his phone, his expression hardening as he met her gaze. “What is it now? I've told you the truth, what more do you want from me?”Tony shook his head in disbelief as he regarded Liana's tearful face. "Liana, listen to me carefully. I don't love you. I never did, and I don't plan to start now. Our marriage was a contract arrangement. That’s it. There’s nothing more between us.”Liana felt her heart shatter into a million pieces. “Tony, please, don’t do this,” she pleaded. “Can’t we try to build a real relationship together? A true marriage?”Tony scoffed, his expression turning contemptuous. “Lia

Tony stood in front of the mirror, meticulously adjusting his suit, a triumphant smile playing on his lips. His father had finally relented, handing over the reins of the company to him, solidifying his position as the new CEO. The world was his oyster, and he intended to savor every pearl it had to offer.As he turned, he spotted Liana entering the room, a tray of dishes in her hands. "Babe, I made your favorite," she said, extending the tray to him with a warm smile.Tony's smile faltered, a scowl spreading across his features. With a dismissive wave of his hand, he knocked the tray from her grasp. The dishes crashed to the ground, the sound echoing through the room like a gunshot. "What is this filth you've prepared?" he demanded, his voice dripping with venom.Liana gasped, horror-struck at the sudden outburst. "Tony, there's nothing wrong with the food. What's the matter?" she pleaded, tears welling up in her eyes.But Tony would not be swayed.Tony stepped on the scattered food
