"Here," Malia encouraged, offering the bottle. "Drink this."Jenny accepted the bottle gratefully, tilting it back and allowing the icy liquid to soothe her parched throat. The chill was almost painful, a sharp contrast to the warmth threatening to close her throat. She lowered her head, feeling the weight of questioning gazes from others around the room."I'll handle this," Alexander assured Malia, his voice calm and steady. He instructed her to return to Dolf and assist the others. Jenny's breathing began to stabilize, yet sporadic waves of panic continued to wash over her, itchy and consuming like an unwelcome tide. Malia hesitated for a moment, the scene with Jenny revealing her scars fresh in her mind — the scars that mapped the first pain Julius had inflicted.Trusting Alexander, Malia eventually turned and slowly retreated to the others, leaving Jenny with a lingering look. Lemuel glanced in Jenny's direction as well, his usually cheerful demeanor overshadowed by concern. Malia

Chapter 72

Jenny swallowed hard, her heart racing and her thoughts a tangled web. Hands trembling, she struggled to fit her key into the lock. After several attempts, she managed to open the door, her heart lightened by a smile she couldn't suppress. Alexander might be a threat one day, but for now, he wished only to escort her home, to shield her from her haunting past.Shrugging off her scarf and coat, she flipped the light switch, intending to cross the room and decide on dinner. As the room lit up, every inch of the space became visible, including Julius sitting in the armchair, his expression dark and unwelcoming.Jenny's eyes flickered rapidly as she took in the scene, the gravity of recent events crashing over her in waves of horror. Julius had invaded her life once again, an unpredictable storm wreaking havoc and leaving her to gather the fragmented remains.Instinctively, she reached into her pocket, hoping to find a tissue, but came up empty-handed. A familiar dread settled over her as

Chapter 73

Jenny lay motionless as Julius stirred, pretending to be asleep. He shifted, sitting on the edge of the bed. She remained still, uncertain if he expected her to acknowledge his presence. She concentrated on maintaining a steady breathing pattern to feign sleep.Pain throbbed through her lower body, and fresh bruises were forming on her neck. She knew she needed to rise soon to conceal them. Over time, Jenny had mastered the art of using makeup to hide both the physical marks on her body and the exhaustion etched into her eyes—a skill developed from being kept up night after night and from concealing the evidence of a man's hands wrapped around her throat.More than ten minutes elapsed before Julius finally rose, collecting his belongings and dressing swiftly. To her surprise, he left the room quietly, softly closing the door behind him. She heard the jingle of his keys followed by the sound of the front door closing. The thought of his car parked outside all night stirred her anxiety,

Chapter 74

"No," Jenny replied, perhaps too hastily. The brush paused on her neck, and when she opened her eyes, Malia's gaze was filled with concern and confusion. A lie slipped from Jenny's lips before she could think. "I met a guy last night and asked him to do this. I wanted to try something a bit more... adventurous. I didn't realize how visible the marks would be. I was embarrassed to tell Alexander how I got the bruises."Malia studied her for a moment before bursting into laughter. Jenny stepped back, wary of the makeup brush scattering powder on her clothes."Oh, Georgina. You nearly gave me a heart attack. I thought something serious was up. I didn't know you were so bold," Malia teased."I'm really not," Jenny said quickly, suppressing a smile as she retrieved her makeup brush. "I learned that last night. It's not my kind of thing.""Well," Malia wiped away a tear of laughter, "if you ever change your mind, let me know. I can show you how to avoid those bruises. And Dolf could teach y

Chapter 75

Lemuel, feigning indifference to Jenny's curiosity about their plans, stood and brought a chair for her to join them. "Looks like you've had a rough night," he remarked with a teasing smile, gesturing towards her apron. Jenny glanced down to see the stains marking her apron, a blush coloring her cheeks in response.Sensing her embarrassment, Dolf intervened, "I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it. Here," he gestured to the empty chair, "take a load off."Jenny sat down eagerly, her attention drawn to the mapped-out drawing on the table that bore an uncanny resemblance to the opulent mansion of her childhood. As if forgetting her presence, Dolf and Lemuel delved into a discussion about a covert mission, with potential plans to dismantle a rival political family.With her delicate hands folded in her lap, Jenny listened intently, mentally cataloging every detail they mentioned. She couldn't resist correcting them when they discussed areas of interest, pointing out secret exits, potenti

Chapter 76

Jenny sat among the group, her mind racing as she plotted out intricate security solutions Liam and Dolf would need to navigate. A hint of humor lightened her tone, "Oh, an alarm system? Try eight distinct layers. Each one complements the others, so if you bypass one, the rest remain active. But there's a master code to shut it all down."Dolf, ever the skeptic, looked intrigued. "You know the code?" he inquired, his eyebrows arching in interest."I used to," Jenny admitted, contemplating the likelihood of it having changed since her last visit. "It was Rosaceae Sanguineus."She observed the duo, gauging if the phrase sparked recognition. Should they be surveying her father's residence, they would be aware of his affiliations, perhaps even his membership with the Bloody Sapphire. However, their expressions revealed no such acknowledgment. Jenny maintained a casual facade and continued."Layers of security, and dogs. The wealthy have a penchant for dogs, particularly this household. Th

Chapter 77

Walking home alone, Jenny allowed herself a smile. She had finally gained a foothold in the Dark Wolves gang. Alexander's apparent trust was valuable, especially coming from someone of his status. This acknowledgment meant the world to her.Her thoughts drifted to Dolf and Lemuel, who also appeared to accept her presence, and she felt a quiet sense of triumph. Today, she would share her success with Julius. She only hoped it would suffice as she bit her lower lip in anticipation.Upon opening the door, she found Julius asleep on the couch, enveloped by its cozy features as he rested peacefully. She was taken aback; Julius was known for being prompt and composed. It puzzled her as their father would have harshly criticized such behavior. Was Julius slipping? The faintest smug smile played on her lips. Since being dismissed from their home, she had never seen him falter. The idea of Julius having a weakness was oddly satisfying.Careful not to make a sound, she slipped off her shoes, mo

Chapter 78

The next morning, her alarm goes off, and Jenny feels surprisingly energized. She makes her bed briskly, preparing for the day with unusual zeal. Today, she'll gather information that proves useful, returning Julius to his normal disposition. No more drunken Julius on her couch.Before leaving her apartment, Jenny checks on the growing stash of cash in the bottom drawer of her closet. For a fleeting moment, she allows herself to dream of using it to escape her current life. She shuts the drawer and heads to the bar.Upon her arrival, Jenny unlocks the door and finds a note from Malia, explaining that she's not feeling well and that Jenny can manage the bar alone today. If needed, she can call in some part-time servers to assist. Jenny tucks the note into her pocket, astonished by her fortune.The bar hasn't opened yet, and an unusual stillness and silence pervade the place. Jenny is alone, presenting her with ample time and opportunity to investigate. First, she turns on some music to

Chapter 79

Eventually, after what seemed like an eternity, Dolf and Lemuel reached an understanding. Trapped in her thoughts, Jenny missed most of their conversation, but the shift in Lemuel's expression suddenly caught her attention. "Let's make this interesting!" Lemuel shouted with a wicked grin, addressing Dolf more than Jenny. His words pierced her deeply.It was as if the whole world had turned upside down. Jenny had become accustomed to Julius and her father's harsh treatment, their sudden outbursts, but the betrayal by Alexander and Lemuel, whom she had come to see as family, felt far worse than any beating. She thought she would welcome physical pain if it meant she could return to the way everything used to be. Her heart longed for acceptance, especially from Lemuel with his bright smile and warm eyes. Regrets flooded her as she reminisced about their lighthearted conversations filled with laughter. He had made her feel like she belonged. Now, anxiety and self-loathing consumed her, wi

Chapter 80

"Look up," Malia instructed, yanking on Jenny's hair. Jenny winced, staring at the ceiling as Malia combed through her hair with little care. It had been permed and lightened to a shade between her natural color and the deep brown she adopted for her assignment. Malia sat behind her, harshly brushing without meeting her eyes in the mirror.Jenny suspected that Dolf had told Malia about her activities when he found her. She internally cursed for not being more cautious. If only she'd come up with an excuse—a spilled drink needing a mop, or searching for a lost contact. Anything would have been better than letting him witness her actions. Perhaps wetting the floor might have made him call out before entering. Or maybe, he would have slipped."Malia," Jenny began, attempting to reason with her. "It's not... I don't know how to explain, but it's not what it looks like. I know it sounds cliché, but I need you to trust me."Malia pulled the brush through Jenny's hair again, even more forcef
