My attitude thoroughly enraged Yuri.

He abruptly grabbed the glass on the table and hurled it toward me.
A sharp pain shot through the back of my head, and with the sound of shattering glass, I was thrown hard against the stairs.
The sting of pain made me break into a cold sweat, and for a moment, I couldn’t get up.
“Stop playing pretend. Get up!” Yuri snapped impatiently from behind me.
Willa approached, feigning concern:
“Freya, are you okay? It looks like the glass just grazed your shoulder…”
“Shut up!” I interrupted, gritting my teeth, forcing myself to stand.
Seeing my harsh response to Willa, Yuri’s eyes turned cold.
“Willa isn’t feeling hungry. You go make her

your famous tomato pasta.”

“I won’t do it.” I rejected him without hesitation.
“That’s an order!” Yuri’s face darkened ominously. “Freya, do you think you have a choice?”
I clenched my fists and locked eyes with him.
“I won’t do it. What are you going to do about it?”
A flash of cold light flickered in Yuri’s eyes. He stormed forward, grabbed my arm with. brutal force, and shoved me into the kitchen.
“Bang!”
The door slammed shut behind me.
“Don’t even think about coming out until the pasta’s made!”

I pounded on the door with all my strength, screaming at the top of my lungs, “Let me out!” But all I got in response was a haunting silence.
My palm stung, raw and swollen, but in the end, I collapsed onto the floor, slumped against the cold door.
Through the door, I could hear their conversation clearly.
Willa spoke softly.
“Yuri, isn’t this a bit much? If Freya doesn’t want to make it, let her be. I’m fine not eating.”
Yuri sighed deeply.
“Willa, she’s been spoiled by the Clayton family all these years. I have to change her princess syndrome. If she’s going to

marry into the Farrar family, she needs to follow their rules, or how will she raise our children?”
“The Farrar family is a medical family, known for being kind, but her personality is so blunt… My mom’s never been fond of her.”
Willa asked, puzzled:
“Yuri, then why not just break up with her?”
The outside fell completely silent.
I held my breath, frozen against the door.
Yeah, if I’m so unworthy in his eyes, why does he still put up with me?
The silence stretched on, and Willa gently urged, “Yuri?”
Yuri’s cold voice sliced through me like a knife.
“The Clayton family’s influence in Wernath

City is second to none. They’ve done so much for my career over the years…”
I pressed my hand to my chest, unable to hold back the tears that rushed to my eyes.
So, it was never me Yuri cared about.
All these years, he’d only been after the Clayton family’s power, not me.
In a haze, I remembered the time when my grandfather had a sudden heart attack. It was Yuri who had suggested the bold surgery that saved his life.
I had fallen for that talented, young doctor the moment I met him.
I only gave him a banner as thanks, but that was when he began his relentless pursuit of
- me.
Yuri had never asked for the Clayton family’s help. All those secretive arrangements were

How ridiculous. I had always worried he’d refuse once he found out.
The kitchen door swung open. When Yuri saw me, he paused for a moment, then frowned.
“You’re crying over making pasta? Get out. You’re making me sick just looking at you.”
I fought against the dizziness, forcing myself to stand and stumbling toward the bedroom.
The moment I opened the door, a chill ran down my spine.
The bed was covered in my least favorite pink lace sheets.
On the nightstand, my photo had been replaced by a picture of an unfamiliar baby.
In the wardrobe, not a single piece of my clothes remained.

“The guest room’s too small. Willa’s pregnant, and it’s not comfortable for her. She’ll be staying in the master bedroom now.”
Willa timidly added, “Freya, you don’t mind, right? Don’t worry, once the baby’s born, I’ll…
“Oh.” I interrupted her coldly. “Where’s my stuff?”
