Chapter 1: Lost Hope

Karina ran into the house, panting heavily as she pulled strands of food from her hair.Once again, Jade and her friends had bullied her, and this time, she had gotten an unforgettable experience with their lunch trays.She slipped off her shoes and was about to enter the living room when hushed voices stopped her in her tracks.“What do we do this time? We might really lose everything. We can’t borrow any more money,” her mother said, panic lacing her voice.Karina moved closer, straining to hear.“We have to accept the marriage proposal from the Russells,” her father replied after a pause, resting his elbows on his knees. “It’s the only way we’ll get the investment.”Her mother shot to her feet.“Why would you even think about that?!” she snapped. “We can’t send Jade to that tyrant. You know his reputation.”She sat back down dramatically, dabbing fake tears from her eyes. Then she looked up and caught sight of Karina standing by the doorway.A smirk formed on her lips.Karina’s hea

Chapter 2: He was...gentle?

“Let’s get her to the hospital first, then we’ll drop her off at the house,” James said as he started the car.Betty sat beside Karina, carefully holding her in her arms as they drove off into the night.The ride was painfully quiet.Darkness stretched endlessly around them, broken only by the occasional streetlights flickering along the empty road. Not a single car was in sight, though it wasn’t surprising considering how late it was.James kept glancing at Karina through the rearview mirror, worry etched across his face.“She’s still breathing, right?”“Barely… but yes,” Betty answered softly.A strange smell suddenly filled the air.Betty frowned, scrunching her nose.“Roll down the windows. Something’s wrong.”James met her gaze through the mirror and immediately pressed the button beside him.Nothing happened.“It’s not working,” he said, panic creeping into his voice as the smell grew stronger.“Pull over. Quickly.”Thankfully, the brakes still worked.James swerved the car to t

Chapter 3: Truth Exposed

Karina fluttered her eyes open, her gaze immediately landing on his bare chest.She swallowed hard, quietly admiring his frame. Her fingers drifted toward the faint red marks along his neck when he suddenly caught her hand, his eyes snapping open.“Sleep well?” he asked softly, bringing her hand to his lips and pressing a kiss against her palm.Her heart skipped violently as her eyes darted away.“Mmm.”He tilted her chin toward him, his thumb brushing gently against her cheek as he studied her face carefully.Karina stared at him in silence.This was the first time she had truly looked at him.His brown hair fell messily across his forehead, giving him a rugged appearance, but beneath it were the most beautiful green eyes she had ever seen—soft enough to draw anyone in.“You look beautiful, Jade,” he murmured before pressing a soft kiss to her lips and burying his face against her neck.Karina stiffened the moment she heard her sister’s name.Reality came crashing down instantly.The

Chapter 4: Reunion

Karina hadn’t eaten properly for two weeks. Every meal brought into her room was returned untouched soon after. Not that any of it was edible to begin with. Ever since word spread throughout the manor that Karina had schemed her way into Devon Russell’s bed, the servants stopped bothering to hide their disdain. Even a stray dog wouldn’t eat the food they served her. Her room remained in complete disarray, yet no one came to clean it anymore. “Mr. Russell still hasn’t seen the madam today,” one maid whispered outside the door. “Madam?” another scoffed. “You mean that whore?” “Shh. What if she hears you?” “She can’t do anything anyway.” The two women burst into laughter as their footsteps gradually faded down the hallway. Karina tightened her grip around the bedsheets, her hollow eyes staring blankly ahead. The constant crying had left them swollen and sunken. Slowly, she turned toward the window. “He should be leaving now…” she murmured quietly. For the past two weeks, th

Chapter 5: The Contract

Betty opened her mouth to speak but was quickly interrupted by Karina.“They’re friends of mine. They just came to visit and were about to leave,” Karina said, gathering every bit of courage she had left.Torturing her was already enough. He would make their lives hell if they worked for her.Patricia had just returned from the kitchen. She set a tray down in front of Devon and Leon, pouring their tea as she spoke.“They barged in here looking to work for Karina.”Devon noticed the tone Patricia used when speaking about Karina, but he didn’t comment. After all, in his mind, she didn’t deserve respect.“Oh really?” Devon sneered, settling into the couch. “You haven’t even properly settled in, and you’re already bringing in your people. Seems like you thought this through.”“She didn’t plan anything,” Betty snapped. “And we wouldn’t have to be here if she was being treated well.”Both Karina and James shot her a warning look. James even nudged her urgently at the side.Leon watched the

Chapter 6: The Party pt 1

Karina walked down the stairs gracefully, each step accentuating her figure.She wore a long blue satin gown, strapless with a slit running along one side, exposing her fair legs as she walked.Devon’s breath caught for a second as he looked at her.Karina felt his eyes on her but kept her head lowered, afraid to meet his gaze.Devon’s eyes followed her from the top of the stairs until she stopped beside him.Despite how frail she had become, she still looked so—He snapped out of his thoughts.“Don’t think too much of it.”His eyes turned cold again.“Keep your mouth shut and stand beside me like the perfect little doll.”He tilted her chin slightly.“Are we clear?”Karina nodded quietly.Then she followed after him toward the car.The ride there was silent.Karina turned slightly and stole a glance at him.He wore a dark suit paired with a blue shirt and subtle details that matched her outfit.Her eyes widened slightly.They were matching.A small smile appeared on her lips before s

Chapter 7: The Party pt 2

Devon looked up toward where the commotion was coming from, his gaze landing on Karina.People around the hall stole glances at her and even a few whistles could be heard before some wives and girlfriends quickly pulled their partners back in check.Devon’s eyes lingered for a moment before he looked away, realizing he had been staring too long.Then he resumed his conversation with Jade.Karina noticed.But she didn’t say anything.Slowly, she walked over to where Devon was seated and took the empty seat beside him.Devon didn’t acknowledge her presence.He simply continued chatting as though nothing had changed.Karina had expected it.Still…seeing him smile at Jade like that hurt more than she thought it would.She lowered her gaze and quietly continued eating her meal as if nothing was wrong.As long as it involved Devon, she would take things a little slower.But if it were anyone else, she wouldn’t hesitate to bite back.Jade glanced toward Karina and sneered inwardly.So what

Chapter 8: Unexpected Incident

Karina made her way toward Devon’s study.She had been summoned there unusually early.Did something happen last night?Or was he still going to question her about Seth?Karina frowned slightly, her mind crowded with different possibilities.Last night, after dinner, just as they were about to head home, Devon had received a call and left immediately.The driver dropped her off afterward and she hadn’t heard from him since.Karina stopped outside the study and knocked lightly.A moment later, the door opened.Leon stood there.He gave her a slight nod before walking past without saying anything.Karina nodded back, exhaling quietly before stepping inside.“You called for me?”Devon didn’t respond.He continued reading through the documents spread across his desk as if she hadn’t spoken.Karina remained where she was.Her eyes unconsciously drifted toward him.He wore a fitted black shirt with the first few buttons undone, exposing part of his collarbone. His glasses rested low against

Chapter 9: Jade was... exposed?

Devon arrived at the scene, not a trace of panic visible on his face.He looked up calmly and spoke, “What do you want?”The maid laughed harshly, her eyes wide in a crazed manner.“Clear the path and make sure none of your guards follow me.”One of the guards immediately stepped forward and pulled out his gun.“We can deal with her, boss.”The others followed suit, readying themselves, but Devon raised his hand and they slowly backed away.Karina froze in place, too stunned to move. She tried to wriggle out of the maid’s hold but her grip only tightened.“Stop struggling unless you want to die here,” the maid whispered against her ear, pulling her back harder. She laughed quietly. “Killing you would be a piece of cake… and we both know he doesn’t care that much.”Karina slowly stopped resisting.Her hands fell limply to her sides as she stared at Devon.He wouldn’t let her die here…Right?Devon let out a low chuckle.“Funny of you to think she’s important.”His eyes locked with Kari

Chapter 10: A step closer to the truth

A while earlier…Jade stepped out of the car, the contract clutched tightly in her hand.She still couldn't understand why Devon had suddenly asked for the contract to be reviewed.Everything had gone well last night.At least… she thought it had.The review had placed their company in a difficult position and with the added terms, they had no choice but to comply unless they wanted to pay heavy penalties.Jade’s expression darkened as she recalled the previous night.After the event, she invited Devon for a private dinner.At first, everything had gone smoothly. They talked business, exchanged small conversations and gradually she tried steering things in a more personal direction—subtly testing boundaries, hinting that she wanted to become closer to him than they already were.Devon noticed.But he brushed past it so cleanly she almost wondered if she imagined it.He had made one thing clear.As long as the marriage remained in place, he had no intention of crossing that line.That
