“SO, it turns out that Carson is the man Dollie was referring to in her previous story.” “Dollie told you something?” Damian looked at his wife intently, raising an eyebrow. “Yeah. It was a few days before her graduation.” Anya nodded. “She told me that she wanted to seek peace, and she wanted to stop herself from hurting.” “Did she say something else?” “She told me that someone broke her heart, but I didn’t bother asking who the man was.” Anya sighed as her hands clutched to the hem of her dress. “I wanted to respect her privacy, and I thought that she would share everything once she was ready.” Damian didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he stood up and went to the kitchen. He placed both hands on the table while breathing heavily. Anya couldn’t help but be worried about him, knowing how close Damian was to Dollie. So, she stood up and followed her husband to the kitchen. “Are you okay?” she asked, her tone laced with worry. “We can stop talking about this topic now.” “No. It

AVA went home with a broken heart. Tears were streaming down her eyes, a sign of how hurt she was because of what Damian did to her earlier, yet her facial expression was fierce.Her forehead was creased, yet her heart felt like it was being shattered into pieces.“Good day, Ma’am Ava,” the maids greeted her in the second floor’s hallway when she arrived. However, Ava noticed the glances they gave at her revealing dress, causing her to be annoyed and humiliated at the same time.“Get out of my sight before I fire all of you,” Ava muttered, her tone dark and intimidating, yet the maids were too stunned to move. “Get out!”As Ava already shouted in frustration, every maid hurriedly went downstairs, leaving Ava alone in the hallway. Ava bit her lower lip as another batch of tears formed in her eyes.She wanted to burst into a rage, but she did her best to control her temper as she continued walking and went to their bedroom… Not knowing that Carson was inside, sitting on the couch, obvio

“YOU CAN’T think of anything to justify yourself, don’t you? Because what I’m saying is true,” Damian said, emphasizing every word. “You met Dollie, and you didn’t even tell anyone about it.”Carson looked away and stared at the wall. He couldn’t admit it or deny it, not to mention that he felt crumbling down again. Every time he was reminded about Dollie’s death, his heart shattered to pieces.“Wait, that’s a grave accusation huh! We don’t even know if that picture is edited or not!” Ava exclaimed, still trying to defend her husband despite the piece of evidence being thrown at her face.“Then we can ask an expert about this. Your choice,” said Damian in a casual tone, raising one picture in his hand. “But if we do that, you need to accept the consequences. You can’t throw tantrums at me like you always do.”“What the…” Ava scoffed and gave Damian a deadly glare. She felt humiliated, and she didn’t like it. “Why would Carson meet Dollie in secret, by the way? For her to seduce my husb

“DID DOLLIE discover something, that is why she was being killed?” Damian asked himself, remembering the man who stabbed Dollie at the wedding before. “Could it really be the same person?”“I think so,” Anya, who was standing a few meters behind Damian, answered. “But it could fit Carson, too. Maybe their relationship was so toxic that she finds their conversation shocking… and disgusting.“Anya? What are you doing here?”“Well… I was supposed to give you this.” Anya walked toward her husband, raising the water bottle. “I thought you would be stressed after the conversation, and I’m right.”“Yeah. Thank you.” Damian took the water bottle from Anya and drank it. “I can’t trust hunches. I need solid proof.”Damian was about to walk toward the main gate when suddenly, Anya held his wrist. “Wait—Where are you going?”“To investigate,” answered Damian without hesitation. “Something is still bothering me. I don’t feel good about this, so I need to answer all the questions in my mind as soon
