Clutching her stinging cheek, she slowly turned back to face him. "Why did you slap me?!" She hissed, her voice vibrating with pure rage.Her day was already a complete disaster. First, the infuriating news that Zach had allowed Cyan unbridled access to his assets—the very wealth he had meticulously guarded for years. She knew exactly how cutthroat and tight-fisted Zach was with his money, making it utterly sickening that he would just let Cyan spend it like it was nothing.And before she could even process that nightmare, the tables had turned on her completely when Zendaya refused to take her side. She had been thrown into a disgusting cell, and now, the moment she steps foot at home, she gets slapped?Wasn't this a bit much?"You dare ask me why?! You created a massive public spectacle the second the police dragged you out!" Orlando Dela Cruz, Laureen’s father, roared. "I thought you were mixed up in something serious, only to find out you were arrested for harassing a child? Have

Zendaya stood by the window, her gaze locked on Cyan sitting out in the garden. Ever since her father had left for the office, Cyan had been sitting out there, seemingly lost in deep thought. After a few silent moments, Zendaya heard Silva’s familiar footsteps approaching."You've been staring at Ma'am Cyan for a while now. Why don't you go out there and talk to her?" the housekeeper asked casually.Zendaya glanced at the older woman before looking back out at Cyan. She swallowed hard, a sudden wave of guilt washing over her as memories of how horribly she had treated her late mother's twin sister flooded her mind—all because of the unpleasant things Aunt Laureen had fed her.She was deeply ashamed.She felt like she didn't even possess the right to approach her anymore."You know, it really is best if you just go talk to Ma'am Cyan," Silva murmured, breaking into her spiraling thoughts. "She's a good person, Zendaya, and she cares about you a lot.""Is it really okay... even after al

"How are you doing, Zach?"Zach lifted his gaze toward the elderly man seated across from him. This was none other than his grandfather, Don Sebastian. Ever since Zach's accident, the old man had stepped back in to manage the Samaniego Empire—a massive corporate real estate Zach had run single-handedly for years."I'm doing fine, Grandpa," he replied smoothly, keeping his tone measured.Don Sebastian nodded slowly. "And how about your relationship with your wife? Are things well between you two?"Zach studied the old man for a brief second before answering. "We are doing perfectly fine.""Have you noticed anything... unusual about her?"Zach froze slightly at the question. "What do you mean by that?"The elderly patriarch stared at him intently for a few silent seconds before shaking his head dismissively. "Nothing. Don't mind me.""Is there an issue with my wife, Grandpa?" Zach pressed, firing the question right back."Not at all. I was simply wondering if you found her altered in an

Both him and Laureen turn their heads toward the source of the voice. A man was standing just a few paces away, pure, unadulterated fury blazing in his eyes as he glared directly at him.Laureen’s amusement only deepened at the sudden turn of events when she recognized Kirk, Cyan’s attorney—or should she address him as Cyan’s secret lover? Seizing the golden opportunity, she immediately linked her arm through Zach’s, playing the part of the guilty mistress perfectly.Zach shot a lethal glare down at the woman, violently wrenching his arm from her parasitic grasp before turning his full, icy attention to the man standing before them."And who the hell are you?" He asked, his forehead creasing in a deep scowl.A sarcastic smirk played on Kirk's lips. "Now you’re playing dumb and pretending not to know me after I just caught the two of you making out in a public parking lot?"Zach took a sharp breath, correcting his posture. "I genuinely don't know you. And for the record, I didn't kiss

After leaving the cafe, Zach drove straight back to the mansion. He was walking through the grand foyer when he crossed paths with Silva, who was carrying a silver tray loaded with empty dessert plates and glasses."Where are my wife and Zendaya, Silva?" he asked."They're out in the garden, Sir, playing together," she replied with a warm, knowing smile.Zach stared at the housekeeper, completely skeptical. Did he hear that right? Playing? Together? Since when did those two ever find common ground? Unconvinced by the housekeeper's claim, he didn't offer another word and headed straight for the double doors leading to the garden.Silva watched her boss's retreating figure with a perplexed expression. She couldn't quite understand his defensive reaction. Shouldn't he be thrilled to hear that his family was finally mending fences? Shaking her head, she continued her walk back toward the kitchen.The moment Zach stepped into the garden, his eyes instinctively swept the landscape for his d
