The suffocating tension in the luxurious living room hangs so thick it is practically choking everyone inside.

Daniel violently turns his gaze toward the young woman still clutching her red, stinging cheek. "I will have my private driver take you home immediately."

"But I don't want to leave!" The young secretary pouts, completely failing to read the deadly gravity of the situation. She aggressively presses her body against his arm. "You promised me that tonight we would—"

  • She Was His Obsession. Now She's Everyone's   Ch112 - Between Men

    The fever delays Luna's trip two days.By the time she's back in Harlow, a full week has passed.She slides into the backseat, raising a hand to stop Nathan before he can embrace her. "I am exhausted. Don't move.""Did you rush back for me?" He studies the circles under her eyes."Don't flatter yourself." She leans against the window. "I need to go home. You can just drop me off in the city center, and I will take a cab to the estate.""Am I forbidden from going with you?"Nathan is acutely aware of which "home" she is referring to. Ever since they dramatically secured their marriage certificate, Luna has deliberately avoided visiting her parents."You think my parents want to see your face right now?" Her brother had texted that her mother was unwell—the only reason she pushed through the flight at all. If her mother is hiding an illness from her, it means how disappointed they both are in this marriage.Nathan ignores her instructions entirely, ordering the driver straight through t

  • She Was His Obsession. Now She's Everyone's   Ch111 - Don't Go

    By the time they pull into the estate, Julian is already waiting at the front entrance.He wraps an arm around Luna with deliberate possessiveness, glaring at Ethan over her shoulder."I made all your favorites. Eat first."Ethan's expression darkens—until Luna pulls back and grabs his arm."Are you trying to catch pneumonia standing in the wind?"His menace evaporates instantly into something frail and pitiful. "The wind's making me dizzy.""Come inside."Inside, Julian slams a water glass onto the table hard enough to splash over the rim.Luna feeds Ethan his medication. He stays silent through it until she strokes his hair, and only then swallows obediently."Out of water," Ethan notes afterward, shaking the empty glass and looking straight at Julian. "Be a good guess and pour me another glass."A vein rises in Julian's neck, but he pours it anyway, jaw locked, while Ethan rests his head against Luna's shoulder and shoots him a look of pure triumph."Go to sleep early since you too

  • She Was His Obsession. Now She's Everyone's   Ch110 - Fever

    Stella drags herself back into the penthouse, still reeling from Jade's rejection, when Ethan's jacket—carelessly draped over the coat rack in the foyer—becomes something to cling to.He's been coming to her bed every night for weeks now. If he's still obsessed with Luna, why is he suddenly treating her like a real wife?That thought, together with the secret growing inside her, is the only thing keeping her together.Meanwhile, Harlow's elite circles are drowning in whispers. The famously glacial Ethan Caldwell has begun appearing beside Stella at one high-society gala after another, distant as ever, yet unmistakably by her side.Sympathy pools for Luna, watching her ex secure his happy ending with another woman.But Luna knows the truth.For two months, Ethan has been managing an overseas acquisition. The man in Stella's bed, the man at those galas, is Tom Carson—wearing a flawless disguise.Outside her office, a black Maybach glides to a stop. Tom rolls down the window, smile polis

  • She Was His Obsession. Now She's Everyone's   Ch109 - We Are Done

    On the top floor of Caldwell headquarters, a middle-aged woman in haute couture marches toward the CEO's office.The entire secretarial pool freezes—Grace Caldwell rarely sets foot in this building unless there's a gala. Why does she look ready to commit murder?"Ethan!" She shoves the door open without knocking.His assistant halts mid-presentation. Ethan raises his eyes, expression void of emotion. "Step out."The man bows tensely and slips away, leaving mother and son in a vacuum."What in God's name is this will?!" Grace slams her hands on his desk.Ethan leans back, unbothered. "If you lack the reading comprehension to understand legal documents, go ask the author himself.""Everything to you?! He was only in his fifties—how could he prepare this so flawlessly?""Did you honestly believe he'd leave his empire to you?" Ethan's fingers begin a slow, rhythmic tap against the desk."I am asking how he could have arranged this so perfectly!" Grace leans in, forcing the words through h

  • She Was His Obsession. Now She's Everyone's   Ch108 - The Wife They Couldn't Share

    By the time Nathan is discharged, news of his marriage to Luna has already spread through half of Harlow.It becomes the sort of scandal old money families live for and pretend to despise. The Vane name is suddenly on everyone's tongue, and Mrs. Vane can barely step into a room without being met with thin smiles and pointed congratulations. She returns each one with a face so tight it looks painful.Stella has spent the day buried in arrangements for Richard Caldwell's funeral, so she does not hear the rumors until she walks into the house and feels the shift in the air at once."Mom? Dad? What happened?"Marcus comes in behind their parents, hands in his pockets, expression unreadable. "Someone leaked the wedding."Stella stops walking.Married.With Richard gone, Ethan answers to no one now. Nothing stands between him and a divorce except his own timeline.Except Luna's married to Nathan now."Dad, Nathan's already married," Stella says carefully. "There's no point making this worse

  • She Was His Obsession. Now She's Everyone's   Ch107 - He Is Dead

    The silence after Luna's confession still hangs over everyone like a sentence.Her parents leave the restaurant shattered, and before the night is over, Nathan ends up in a private hospital room with his face bruised black and blue from her father's rage.Luna stands beside the bed with her arms folded tightly across her chest, forcing her expression to stay cold. Her father nearly beats Nathan to death, and if her mother had not stepped in, the scene would have turned far uglier.Nathan slowly opens his eyes and catches her wrist with a swollen hand. "I thought you were gone," he murmurs, a faint smile tugging at his battered mouth."I stayed because I didn't want you dying and dragging my father into a murder case," Luna says flatly, but the sharpness in her voice cannot hide the knot of emotion choking her chest.Nathan's thumb brushes lightly over her wrist. "Then tell me about the wedding. Summer, or autumn?"Luna gives a humorless laugh and pulls her hand away. "Do you really th

    Within twenty minutes of ambushing Luna at the estate gates, Nathan drags her straight into the brightly lit corridors of the city's most exclusive private hospital."The test results are completely normal," the senior doctor finally announces, respectfully closing the file.Nathan lets out a slow,

    "Would you like to join us for dinner?"Luna effortlessly shatters the tension, her voice a soft, melodic chime that cuts through the frozen atmosphere.Without waiting for an answer, she gracefully rises from her chair and walks toward the open kitchen to retrieve an extra set of bone-china dinner

    "She really didn't push me," Luna says, her voice softening into a gentle, entirely convincing sigh as she looks at Jade. "I simply lost my footing. It is completely my own fault that this terrible misunderstanding caused Stella to suffer so much public backlash. I should be the one apologizing. If

    "I won't ever lie to you."Staring deeply into Julian's pleading eyes, Luna feels as though a heavy, invisible hand has suddenly clamped down directly over her heart."Just come inside first," she murmurs, her voice losing its edge.She turns back to the door, pushing it open and stepping into the
