All Chapters of In the Name of Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

By the time I stepped out, Bibi had fallen asleep again. She hadn't been feeling well, often drifting in and out of sleep. I lingered by the door, my worry gnawing at me as I stole one last glance at her. In the end, I left, feeling uneasy.Billings Lane wasn't far from the hospital, and it was where Bibi's favorite strawberry ice cream was sold. I grabbed an ice pack and tucked it into my bag along with the ice cream. Then, I hailed a cab and headed toward The Midnight Club.As the cab sped along, I touched up my makeup in the rearview mirror. Byron hated seeing me bare-faced. He always said I looked too plain without makeup, so I had no choice but to cover up. The false lashes were a struggle on the bumpy road, and as I struggled to secure them, a tear fell, splashing onto my hand, hot and painful—humiliating in its sting.Though it was past midnight, the city center was still alive with the glittering lights of the night.When I pushed open the door, I immediately saw Byron loun

When I woke up, I found myself in a hospital bed. Byron was curled up on the sofa in the corner of the room, draped in his coat. It looked like he hadn't slept all night. "Dana, you're awake?" Byron stirred when he heard the movement. "I'm sorry. I just found out about Bibi. I didn't know her condition was so serious. I swear, I didn't know." "But you still kept me from seeing her one last time. Byron, even if you hate me, you shouldn't have treated Bibi like that. After all, you were her uncle." After all the years we spent together, I knew exactly what to say to hit him where it hurt the most—something he couldn't argue with. Byron let out a painful half-smile. "Dana, let's get married." "Are you out of your mind?" I stared at Byron in disbelief. "The tech company is going public. I need a stable family and a good reputation," Byron explained without showing much emotion. "Rosa is a better match. Besides, with your abilities, the company going public doesn'

Jasper was a junior in college, the one who helped me undergo hypnosis to recover my memories. Though I sought his help for hypnosis and counseling, I kept my past with Jeffrey a secret from him. How did he know? And why had he, three years ago, instructed Rosa to seduce and keep an eye on Byron? I tried to recall everything from before, but the pain in my head was so intense it felt like my skull might split. Then, suddenly, Rosa grabbed my hand, begging me to spare her. In the chaos, I lost my balance and fell hard on my back. The world went black before my eyes, and my head was filled with a loud, ringing noise. It felt like I was drifting in and out of sleep. The past flowed back to me like water. I saw a lively ball, a celebration thrown by my best friend after my engagement. After one glass of red wine, I lost all sense of reason. My body felt like it was on fire, burning from the inside out. Jeffrey entered the room, and what happened next should never ha

Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders.I returned to the Estrada household, where Byron explained everything in detail. Over the past few years, I had been carrying a heavy burden. It wasn't because of Byron's humiliation or his targeting, but because I couldn't face the kindness the Estradas had shown me.Miriam hugged me tightly while crying uncontrollably. I knew she truly saw me as a daughter. Over these three years, she never blamed me, and even secretly came to visit me and Bibi. "I knew there had to be some misunderstanding! Dana, I knew you would never do something like that. You silly girl, why didn't you say anything?" After Miriam finished crying, she turned and scolded Byron. "We didn't know about Jasper, and you didn't investigate either. You let Dana suffer so much for nothing."Osbert, unable to watch Miriam cry and argue any longer, stopped her from wailing."This time, Dana really did suffer. Byron, transfer half of y
