"Together... I mean, let's go together," Ethan said, extending his hand as an invitation for them to walk together. They had never been seen in public together before, and Ethan felt a pang of sadness realizing his wife's fear of him."No, no, hubby, don't stress yourself. Just continue what you're doing. I'll hail a cab to go home," Mara insisted, her voice trembling with fear."No, I don't have anything else to do at work," Ethan replied gently, waiting with her for his PA to bring the car.In the car, Mara tried to dissuade him. "Hubby, seriously, you don't have to stress yourself. I have nothing interesting to buy—just some underwear and sanitary pads. It's nothing serious anyway," she rushed, hoping to make him give up. But he remained silent.It was surprising to see the arrogant workaholic CEO become soft with his wife. PA Lee caught on but kept quiet.The ride was quiet. Ethan noticed his wife stealing glances at him before quickly looking away.When they arrived at the superm

Lucas felt shame-faced as Mara flaunted her wealth. Just then, the car her husband had sent arrived, and a uniformed driver stepped out."Madam, master sent me to take you home," the driver said, bowing respectfully."Anyway, Mr. Lucas, nice to meet you again. See you, God knows when," Mara said dismissively before arrogantly walking into the car.As they zoomed off, Lucas couldn't help but wonder how Mara ended up with a wealthy man.Inside the car, Mara instructed the driver to drop her off at the junction leading to Evelyn's home. Once there, she changed out of her expensive clothes and jewelry into street attire, and they headed to a bar, where Lucian was absent."I thought I was going to have a heart attack today when they were swiping his cards," Mara exclaimed, recounting her husband's extravagant spending during their shopping trip."Mara, we found a home. It's in Casita, near a hospital where we can take care of your nanny," Evelyn explained.Mara had been contemplating leavi

Mara felt a surge of anger at her stepmother's accusations and insinuations. Despite her efforts to maintain composure, her emotions were running high."Mrs. Astrid Lopez, I am Mrs. Mara Lewis now. Don't you dare lay a hand on me. I am no longer the timid stepdaughter you can mistreat as you please. Times have changed," Mara asserted firmly, her voice laced with determination.Her stepmother was momentarily taken aback by Mara's newfound assertiveness, but she remained defiant."Please, increase the medication for this woman, Mrs. Astrid. Please," Mara pleaded, trying to shift the focus to her nanny's well-being."I will let her suffer if you don't give up on Ethan for Maya," her stepmother retorted, her tone dripping with malice."But Ethan sent her away himself, not me. And she failed miserably in seducing him. How is that my fault?" Mara questioned, her voice trembling with frustration and disbelief."Didn't you ask Ethan to send her away? Didn't you drink yourself into a stupor to

The next day, Mara resumed her role as a dutiful wife, serving her husband as usual. Despite not yet uncovering the trump card her stepmother held, Mara decided to make a temporary pact with herself.Later, Mara and her gang gathered at their favorite bar, indulging in alcohol while Mara abstained, content with her cigarette."Man, this is insane. We haven't had any orders lately, everywhere is just Dry" Lucian lamented."Yeah, Mara's lucky. She has a rich husband, she doesn't have to wait till we have orders before she spends money" Evelyn remarked."What rich husband? He's wealthy, but I don't want to rely on his money," Mara retorted, blowing smoke into the air."Come on, just accept your fate," Evelyn urged."I know, but I don't want to. Even if I accept his money and burden him with my problems, I don't want to be dependent. I don't want to be a meek, easily manipulated wife. I like our life. People respect us, they fear us, nobody can mess with me knowing who I am, but a rich ma

Ethan sensed that something was amiss with his wife, but he couldn't grasp what it was.The following morning passed uneventfully, but Mara and her gang had plans."But Mara, why would you promise such a thing to your stepmother? How could you drug your husband to be with your sister?" Lucian asked."I had to promise her. She's wicked and capable of anything. I think it's time I told Ethan about us so that..." Mara trailed off."I told you, Owlett... If you had told your husband, maybe none of this would have happened," Evelyn interjected."Hey, girls, look, there's an advertisement. There's a boxing championship tonight at Leoville Ring," Lucian exclaimed, showing them the poster."What's the reward?" Mara inquired."Half a million dollars. It's sponsored by a young man from abroad," Lucian replied."I'm going there," Mara declared, standing up with all Determination.Her friends looked at her with surprise."Aren't you going home before?" Evelyn asked as the sky darkened."Ethan lef
