Cleo’s cheerful voice rang through the office as she suddenly burst through the door. The moment Seren heard it, she instinctively pushed Rafael away and quickly stood up. Both of them turned toward the unexpected visitor.
Cleo froze. Seren froze.
Even Rafael looked momentarily caught off guard.
For several awkward seconds, the three of them simply stared at one another.
Seren had no idea what to do.
She glanced at Rafael, only to find that h

"For you." Leon placed a small box on Rafael's desk.Rafael looked up from the documents he had been reviewing."What is it?""No idea."Leon shrugged. "It was delivered a few minutes ago."Rafael frowned. "Delivered? By who?"He picked up the box and opened it. The moment he saw what was inside, his blood ran cold. It was Seren's engagement ring.The very ring he had given her. Leon immediately noticed the change in his expression.At that exact moment, the office telephone rang. Rafael and Leon exchanged a glance. Then, Rafael slowly picked up the receiver."Rafael."The familiar voice on the other end made his grip tighten instantly."Eric." The name left his mouth through clenched teeth.His eyes never left the engagement ring."You don't sound very happy, nephew."Eric laughed. "I assume you've received my gift.""Where is Seren?"Rafael's voice was dangerously

"So, he finally decided to make a move."Leon broke the silence as the three of them gathered in Kim's office.They had just returned from Seren's university. Earlier, Rafael had told Seren that he needed to discuss something with Leon and Trisha, so he had sent her ahead to their room.The person Leon was referring to was Dane.Ever since Rafael had spotted Dane's father at Melfina's father's wake, he had quietly ordered an investigation into both father and son. What he had uncovered about them was enough to keep Leon and Trisha occupied with the confidential inquiries he had assigned."I think you should warn Seren about him," Leon said.Rafael leaned back in his chair."She doesn't need to know. As much as possible, I don't want her getting involved in any of this.""The thing is," Leon countered, "she's already involved."He fixed Rafael with a pointed look."You saw what happened today. Who knows who'll come

"Dane?"Seren's eyes widened in surprise when she spotted him standing outside the university.He was leaning against a sleek black car, hands tucked into his pockets as though he had been waiting for someone. The moment he saw her, a smile spread across his face and he raised a hand in greeting.Seren forced a smile in return before glancing around uneasily. Only then did she approach him."What brings you here?" she asked. "Don't you have a case to work on?"Dane had always been an exceptional law student. He had passed the Bar Exam earlier than most and had already begun practicing law alongside his adoptive father at their firm. These days, he rarely spent time at the university. In fact, it had been quite a while since they had last seen each other."Is it because I no longer have a chance with you?"His gaze dropped to her left hand.More specifically, to the engagement ring resting on her finger."I see.

“What are we doing here?” Seren asked as she looked around the dock, confusion written all over her face.Before they even arrived, Rafael had already taken her to a boutique and made her change into an elegant dress. She thought it was another business event—something she was slowly getting used to attending.It had become normal for her to accompany him to gatherings of sector leaders and De Luna executives. And as always, they would ask the same question.When are you getting married?Rafael would simply smile and say they weren’t rushing anything. That Seren was still studying. That there was no need to hurry.But sometimes, the pressure from those people was relentless. So tonight, she assumed it was just another formal gathering. Instead, they were here. At the pier.Rafael didn’t answer her immediately. Instead, he looked at her with that familiar calm expression before finally saying----

“Let’s talk, Rafael.”Cleo stepped into the De Luna Building just as Rafael arrived at his office. He had come straight from Seren’s parents’ house, still unsettled, still trying to process why Seren refused to see him. At the sound of her voice, he stopped and looked up.It had been months since they last met. The last time was that night he brought her to the hotel. After that, Cleo left for Japan, and he had not even known she had already returned.“What is it?” Rafael asked calmly.Cleo met his gaze without hesitation. “Did Seren tell you anything?”Rafael frowned slightly. “What exactly would she tell me?”Cleo’s expression tightened. “She knows I’m pregnant.”The words hit him like a sudden shock. For a brief moment, Rafael went still, his mind immediately replaying Seren’s tears, her questions, her avoidance. Everything started to co

"How is she?" Lena asked as Anna stepped out of her bedroom.Seren had arrived at their house soaked from the rain, standing silently outside the gate. Then, without warning, she had thrown herself into her mother's arms and broken down in tears.She hadn't said a single word. She had cried until exhaustion finally claimed her, falling asleep in Anna's room without even touching her dinner."She's asleep," Anna replied softly as she closed the door behind her.She glanced back toward the room."Do you think she and Rafael had a fight?"Lena looked at the closed door. She wanted to ask her daughter what had happened.She wanted to know what had hurt her enough to leave her in such a state.But she stopped herself.For some reason, she felt she had no right to pry into Seren's pain."Let's just let her rest for now," Lena said gently as she guided Anna downstairs.Anna nodded in agreement.
