Raymond was still standing in the corner of the room. From where he stood, he could see everything clearly.Kanaya, smiling slightly as she spoke with someone. Hayden and Hailey, laughing occasionally with their nanny.And Lucas? He stood beside Kanaya as if the world contained only the two of them. Lucas’s hand was still clasped around Kanaya’s.It was a simple scene, but for Raymond, it was the most painful thing of all because, back then, he was the one who had always been by Kanaya’s side when she was at her lowest.He was the one who listened to all of Kanaya’s tears. He was the one who saw the wounds Lucas had inflicted.Now, all his struggles seemed meaningless. “Why did you still choose him?” Raymond muttered softly, his hands clenched into fists.“Even though I was the one there when you were alone. I could have been a good father to them, too. Meanwhile, Lucas, who had been talking with some business associates, suddenly stopped. His eyes shifted toward the corner of the ro

"Let’s lure him out."Bayu nodded slowly. He’d been working for Lucas long enough to know exactly how the man thought."Are you planning to use Mrs. Kanaya as bait?" he asked cautiously.Lucas’s gaze immediately turned sharp. "Don’t ever say that again."Bayu immediately bowed his head. “I’m sorry, sir.”“I won’t risk Kanaya’s safety or the children’s just to catch Raymond.”“Then how are we going to do it?”Lucas turned back to the window. “Raymond still loves Kanaya.” Bayu didn’t deny it. “And a man who’s obsessed will always make mistakes.”Lucas picked up his cell phone and called someone. Bayu stood waiting for instructions from Lucas. “Make sure the news spreads by tomorrow morning, Bayu,” Lucas said after hanging up. “What news, sir?” Bayu’s face instantly showed confusion. Lucas gave a faint smile. “The news that I’m taking Kanaya and the kids to Dinov’s company anniversary party.”Bayu immediately understood his boss’s intention. Lucas was deliberately giving Raymond a cha

That night, the atmosphere in the mansion felt far quieter than usual. Kanaya stood on the bedroom balcony, staring at the dark, starless sky. A soft night breeze swept through, brushing against her loose hair. But the cold in the air was nothing compared to the coldness filling her heart. Everything had been revealed. The truth she had been waiting for had finally come. Yet strangely, it wasn’t only relief she felt. The pain was still there, even more vivid than before. The bedroom door slowly opened. Lucas stepped inside with cautious movements, as if afraid to disturb her. His eyes fell on Kanaya’s fragile back under the dim light. “I know you’re still awake,” he said softly. Kanaya didn’t turn right away. “I don’t know what I’m supposed to feel right now.” Lucas fell silent. “I was right all along,” Kanaya continued, her voice trembling. “I didn’t betray you, but you still drove me away, Lucas.” Every word felt like a blade cutting through her. “I lost everything back then,

Bayu walked casually into a quiet café. He only intended to grab a cup of coffee before returning to the mansion. However, his steps halted when his ears caught a very familiar name. “Come on, Gio. I’m just curious, where did you get that much money?” Bayu slightly turned toward the source of the voice. A man sat with his back to him, while a beautiful woman sat across from him, her expression full of curiosity. “Amanda, you don’t need to know everything,” the man replied casually. Bayu narrowed his eyes. That voice was familiar. He began listening more closely to their conversation. “I have the right to know!” the woman insisted. “You took me on a trip abroad, even threw that extravagant engagement party. That’s not something small, Gio!” The name made Bayu freeze. Gio? Could this be the same person who had once destroyed Lucas and Kanaya’s relationship? Bayu slowly moved closer and sat at a nearby table, pretending to be busy with his phone, though all his attention was on th

For the first time in a long while, the atmosphere in Lucas’s mansion felt warm. Kanaya sat on the sofa while her two children played on the floor, and Lucas watched them with a faint smile. Everything seemed peaceful. Hayden laughed as Hailey pretended to feed her doll, while Kanaya observed them with a sense of relief. “I’m happy to see you all like this,” Lucas said softly, his voice gentle yet firm. “Now, we can start building our lives again.” Kanaya gave a small smile as she looked at him. “I also… feel safe now. Thank you for explaining everything, Lucas.” Yet deep inside, guilt still lingered in her heart. Raymond was the one on her mind now, more precisely, what he must be going through after the wedding that had been suddenly destroyed. Not long after, the sound of a car slowing down came from outside the mansion. Kanaya turned her head, suddenly alert. She didn’t know why, but her heart felt uneasy. The front door opened, and a handsome man with a serious expression st

Lucas stood facing Raymond. The tension between the two men was palpable, and Kanaya, standing nearby, could only watch with growing concern at what Lucas might do. “Your marriage to Kanaya will not happen. If you proceed, someone will die here,” Lucas said, his eyes sharp and unyielding. The room immediately fell silent. Guests whispered nervously among themselves, some stepping back slowly, fearful that the situation could spiral out of control. Raymond’s lips curled into a faint, confident smile, though his jaw tightened. “Do you think I’ll back down just because of a cheap threat like that, Mr. Dinov?” Lucas took a step closer, exuding a cold aura that seemed to fill the entire room. “This isn’t a threat, Ray. It’s your final warning.” Kanaya clutched her gown tightly. Her heart pounded. She knew Lucas well—he never played around with his words. “Lucas, stop!” Kanaya’s voice finally broke the tension. “This isn’t the place for this.” Lucas turned to her, his gaze softening
