    **Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane**


    Over the course of the following days, Lucia took an unexpected sick leave, leaving her absence palpable in the R&D department. Without her usual antics, the atmosphere shifted dramatically; the tension that once hung in the air dissipated, reced by a newfound sense of ease among the team.


    N, on the other hand, found herself diving headfirst into her work. Officially settled into theboratory, she became engrossed in the intricate world of pharmaceuticals, meticulously documenting experimental data each day. The rhythmic tter of her keyboard and the soft hum of machinery became a soothing backdrop as she analyzed the reactions of variouspounds, losing herself in theplexity of her tasks.


    This busywork provided a temporary escape from the turmoil of her personal life, and for a while, N allowed herself to believe that her days would continue in this peaceful manner. She relished the focus that her job demanded, hoping it would shield her from her troubles.


    However, as Friday evening descended, N’s brief respite came to an abrupt end. Just as she stepped out of the office, a familiar silhouette caught her eye, waiting for her with an air of authority.


    Cindy Summer, Damon’s mother, stood at the entrance of thepany, her presence amplified by the luxurious Chanel suit she wore. The moment she spotted N, she strode over with a determined look on her face, her heels clicking sharply against the pavement.


    “N, we need to talk,” Cindy dered, her tone serious and unyielding. “There’s a lovely restaurant nearby. Let’s go sit down.”


    N hesitated, a knot of reluctance tightening in her stomach. She understood all too well that refusing Cindy could lead to a scene at thepany entrance, something that would undoubtedly tarnish her professional reputation. With a resigned sigh, she followed Cindy to the upscale restaurant, each step feeling heavier than thest.


    Once seated, Cindy wasted no time, ordering two cups of coffee beforeunching into the heart of the matter.


    “I heard you moved out,” she began, her voice low but filled with an unmistakable edge. “Is it just because rk has found another woman?”


    N met her gaze steadily, choosing silence as her response.


    “N, I understand that young women can be sensitive,” Cindy continued, her tone shifting to one of misguided empathy. “But you must realize that this behavior is quite normal for men, especially for someone like rk, who has wealth and status. There will always be women vying for his attention. As a good wife, you should learn to be patient and tolerant.”


    N couldn’t help but let out a coldugh, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Really? Mrs. Summer seems to have mastered the art of tolerance. I suppose you gained a wealth of experience in your younger days.”


    The words struck a nerve, and N watched as Cindy’s face darkened, the painful memories of her own past betrayals shing behind her eyes.


    “What did you just say?!” Cindy erupted, rising from her seat in a fit of anger. “You’re nothing but a worthless girl from a bankrupt family! Your father is only alive because rk is paying for his medical bills!”


    Before N could react, Cindy seized the ss of water in front of her and hurled its contents directly at her face.


    The icy water sshed across N, soaking her shirt and leaving her feeling exposed as the fabric clung to her skin, revealing the outline of her undergarments beneath.


    “Here, dry off,” a deep voice interjected, startling N as a slender hand extended towards her, offering several tissues.


    She looked up, her heart racing, to find Damon Summer standing there, dressed in a dark suit that exuded a mature charm.


    “Damon? What are you doing here?” Cindy’s surprise was evident, and a flicker of panic crossed her features.


    “I was just finishing a business meeting nearby,” Damon replied, his gaze shifting from the mess on the table to N’s drenched shirt. “Looks like I arrived at the perfect time.”


    “This… this is a misunderstanding,” Cindy stammered, desperately attempting to regain control of the situation. “N and I were merely discussing some family matters.”


    “Discussing?” Damon scoffed, a coldugh escaping his lips. “You certainly have a unique way of discussing things. Though I shouldn’t be surprised. My sources tell me you wanted to keep that woman’s baby. I guess I thought too highly of you.”


    Cindy’s expression twisted in anger at the implication. “What are you insinuating?”


    “My meaning is straightforward,” Damon’s voice took on a dangerous edge. “If you’re so supportive of your son’s infidelities, why are you here making life difficult for N?”


    “N is the unreasonable one!” Cindy shot back, pointing an usatory finger at N. “She doesn’t deserve to be a daughter-inw of the Summer family!”


    “Unreasonable?” Damon countered sharply. “Wasn’t it rk who cheated first? The Summer family has wronged N, not the other way around. If you can’t grasp that simple truth, perhaps rk shouldn’t inherit the Summer Group after all.”


    Damon’s wordsnded heavily, like a sledgehammer striking a fragile surface. The implications of his threat were clear, and Cindy realized that with Damon’s influence, he could indeed block rk from inheriting the family business.


    “Are… are you threatening me?” Cindy’s voice trembled, fear creeping into her tone.


    “I’m merely stating facts,” Damon replied coolly, his eyes locked onto hers. “You’d do well to remember that the reputation of the Summer family is paramount above all else.”


    Cindy, sensing the futility of her position, gathered her belongings in a huff and stormed out of the restaurant, leaving N and Damon in a tense silence.


    “Let me drive you home,” Damon offered, his voice steady and calm.


    “That’s not necessary. I can manage on my own…” N began, but Damon cut her off.


    “Looking like that, you shouldn’t take public transportation,” he insisted. “Come on.”


    As they drove, the air was thick with unspoken words, both lost in their thoughts. It wasn’t until they neared N’s apartment building that Damon broke the silence. “If you’re considering a divorce from rk, I can rmend an excellent divorcewyer—the best one in Los Angeles.”


    N’s grip on the door handle tightened, her fingertips turning white. She hadn’t expected him to bring up divorce so directly, and it sent a wave of uncertainty through her.


    “Thank you, Uncle,” she replied softly, her voice barely above a whisper. “If I need help, I’ll reach out.”


    The car came to a stop in front of her apartment building. N stepped out, offering him a brief thank you before she turned to head inside.


    “N.”


    The familiar voice halted her in her tracks. She turned around to see rk standing at the entrance of themunity, his expression dark and intense as he locked eyes with her.


    As the car disappeared into the night, rk’s demeanor shifted, a storm brewing within him.


    “Who was that driving you home?” he demanded, striding over and gripping N’s wrist with a possessive force.


    “None of your business,” she shot back, her voice icy as she tried to pull away from his grasp.


    rk’s eyes narrowed as they swept over her still-damp shirt, a frown creasing his brow. “Why are your clothes wet?”


    N couldn’t help but let out a bitterugh. “You should ask your mother that question.”Conclusion
