CHAPTER 49

“Why?” I asked sleepily.

“I brought you something.”

I heard his footsteps approaching. When my eyes finally adjusted, I saw him standing in front of me.

“You didn’t finish your dinner earlier,” he said gently. “So here... sit up and eat this.”

He bent down slightly and lowered the tray to my level so I could see it clearly. On the tray was a steaming plate of steak, still glistening with juices, accompanied by boiled corn kernels and a colorful side of vegetables. The faint aroma of

    CHAPTER 68“Pierre…” I said carefully, forcing my voice to stay calm. “Don’t be too harsh on Queen. There’s nothing wrong if she eats with us—”“Just go away,” he cut me off again, his tone sharper than before while staring at Queen. “And next time, if I don’t invite you, don’t come.”That was it.Before anything else could be said, Queen suddenly stood up so fast that her chair scraped against the ground.Without looking back, she turned and ran out of the garden.I simply watched her figure disappear into the distance..“This is a disaster,” I muttered under my breath. “She’s definitely going to tell Madame Priscilla… and I’m the one who’s going to get blamed again.”“Then don’t leave my side so that won’t happen.”Slowly, I turned to look at Pierre.And that was when I noticed it.His expression had completely changed.The tension that had been there earlier was gone.I exhaled softly.“As I said, you really didn’t have to be that harsh with Queen,” I said. “At this rate, we’re goi

    CHAPTER 67KATRINA BARILLAS I took a long, steady breath, trying to gather my thoughts.How was I supposed to explain everything?There wasn't a single sentence I could say that wouldn't make things worse."I'd rather not," I answered. "You'll only end up getting angry with me if I tell you."I was about to step inside the elevator when Queen suddenly moved in front of me, blocking my path.I stopped.She stood directly in front of me, forcing me to meet her eyes.That expression...I'd seen it before.It was the same look she had worn the very first day we met. Cold, guarded, and filled with resentment."Mom told me she spoke with you last night."I gave a small nod."She did."Queen crossed her arms over her chest before continuing."Then you should do what Mom told you. Figure out a way to make Pierre throw you away.""You're bringing nothing but misfortune to our family," she continued. "So please, Katrina..."She held my gaze."Do your job."For a brief moment, I simply stared a

    CHAPTER 66Ironically...That was exactly what Queen had suggested, too.For a fleeting moment, I almost laughed at the absurdity of it. The two women wanted the same outcome, yet neither of them realized that Pierre wasn't someone who could be manipulated so easily.I lowered my head once again."Yes, Madame," I replied obediently. "I'll do as you wish."She continued giving me one instruction after another, listing countless ways I could push Pierre away and make him resent me.I listened, but only on the surface.In truth, I had already stopped paying attention halfway through her lecture.Everything she wanted me to do was far too obvious.Pierre knew me better than anyone else.If I suddenly started acting cruel, saying hurtful things, or treating him like he meant nothing to me, he wouldn't believe it for a second. He'd see right through me. Instead of hating me, he'd only become suspicious and start searching for the real reason behind my behavior.And if that happened...He'd

    CHAPTER 65KATRINA BARILLAS"Ah..." I let out a long, contented sigh as I gently rubbed my stomach. "I'm so full..."It honestly felt like I was about to burst.I couldn't even blame anyone but myself. I had eaten three full servings, and every single bite had been worth it. Pierre was an incredible cook. The food was so delicious that I kept telling myself each plate would be my last, only to find myself asking for another.Now I was paying the price.It had probably been about fifteen minutes since I finished eating. I'd already taken a shower to freshen up, hoping it would help settle the heaviness in my stomach, but I still felt uncomfortably full. Lying down right now was definitely out of the question. If I did, I'd probably feel even worse.For now, all I could do was stay on my feet.I was in the guest room while Pierre had already returned to his own bedroom. After dinner, he had escorted me here, made sure I got inside safely, then left without lingering.He really had beco

    CHAPTER 64PIERRE CARIOWe sat together, talking about random things, and I couldn't help but feel relieved seeing her in such a good mood. The atmosphere between us was calm and comfortable, exactly the kind of moment I had been hoping for. Watching her smile and laugh so naturally made everything feel a little lighter.After finishing the meal I had prepared, I carefully placed the plate in front of her."So?" I asked with a grin. "What do you think? Is it good?"She picked up her fork and took a small bite, chewing slowly as if she wanted to savor every flavor. I couldn't take my eyes off her while I waited for her verdict."Wow..." she breathed, looking straight into my eyes with genuine surprise. "Why don't you just become a chef instead? This is so delicious!"Her compliment made me smile.Katrina continued eating, taking much bigger bites this time. She didn't seem to care that traces of the creamy white sauce were now smeared around her lips. She was completely focused on the

    CHAPTER 63KATRINA BARILLASFor a brief moment, I was left speechless.His question lingered in the air between us, making my heart pound louder than the silence surrounding us. I swallowed hard before forcing myself to answer, trying my best to sound calm. Is he being serious right now? This is new."Even if I made that promise... It's almost like you've already decided that I'm the one you'll end up with."I looked at him for a long moment before letting out a small sigh."What I really want is for you to think everything through carefully." My voice softened. "You change your mind so quickly, Pierre."I couldn't help but let out a helpless laugh."Can you believe it? You couldn't stand me before." I shook my head with a faint smile. "But now... it sounds like you'd actually choose me over Queen."Pierre finally stopped what he was doing.He set the knife down on the cutting board before turning to face me completely."At first," he admitted. "I really was hesitant."His expression g
