After a car accident, Amelia rushes to find her husband, Ethan, only to discover him celebrating another woman’s daughter’s birthday. In front of everyone, she learns the painful truth: Ethan never touched her during their six-year marriage because his heart has always belonged to his first love. Humiliated and betrayed, Amelia must decide whether this loveless marriage is finally over.
David continued his tirade, his voice cold and cutting. The humiliation spread through her entire body in a flush of hot shame. He listed restriction after restriction. The maids standing beside David didn’t intervene or question. Her heart throbbed with deep, aching pain. But she didn’t make a sound. “Get out! Go reflect on yourself!”…
The broken figurine hurt him too, but it was made from pieces and could be repaired with time. Hannah was right. She was making such a big deal out of this because she was still angry about the celebration and was looking for an excuse to vent. “Apologize to Hannah and Isla right now.” Ethan…
Ethan’s throat tightened. An apology was right on his lips, but he couldn’t say it. He wanted to say “I’m sorry” for everything tonight, for his negligence, for her grievances. But pride wouldn’t let him speak. If he apologized to Amelia too often, it would seem like he was admitting fault to her. Besides, even…
It didn’t take long before Amelia received the agent’s reply. “Ms. Harlow! I talked to the owner. He said he’s willing to rent it to you at 20 percent off the market price! “But he has one condition. He hopes you can help take care of the flowers in the yard.” The request sounded strange,…

The doctor stepped out with a serious face. “The child had a severe allergic reaction that triggered acute asthma. Luckily, you brought her…
“Amelia, shut up!” Ethan’s veins stood out on his forehead. “I told you – I’m taking care of them because of Jack! You misunderstood all of this, and that’s why you hurt Isla, isn’t it?” “You can think whatever you want.” Amelia threw the words behind her and tore her arm free from his grip.…
When Amelia arrived, Isabel was having afternoon tea in the living room with her friends. The air smelled like expensive candles and hot tea. Several well-dressed women were chatting and laughing. But one familiar face made Amelia’s heart sink. Emma? Emma Gray was Hannah’s cousin. When she saw Amelia, her eyes flashed with clear, open…
“Please say it,” Amelia said right away. If this could save her studio, she would agree to ten conditions – maybe even more. “You need to go take care of the weeds in the garden today. They’re swallowing the flowers I planted.” “What?” Amelia blinked, stunned. She never expected this. It was so simple that…
Amelia no longer had to bow to Ethan. The next day, after settling things, she moved everything from the old downtown studio into the villa with the garden. No ceremony. No guests. Just her and Amanda are setting up the new space quietly. It felt peaceful and warm, like a fresh start. Amelia didn’t go…
In the dream, she returned to the first day she stepped into the Everett Estate. Back then, the garden was full of life. A young man stood with his back to her, wearing a light gray coat. He stood tall, the wind lifting the hem of his coat and outlining the clean, sharp lines of…
