    **Chapter 36**


    The sight before N was so absurd that it felt like a scene from a darkedy. rk, with his arms possessively wrapped around Jordyn, was demanding an apology from her. It was as if the universe had conspired to throw the most ludicrous joke right in her face. With a slow, deliberate motion, she lifted her gaze, her expression devoid of fury but brimming with icy mockery.


    “Do you genuinely believe she deserves it?” N’s voice floated through the air, delicate yetced with an unmistakable edge of contempt. Each word dripped with the disdain she felt, as if she were speaking to a child who had justmitted a foolish act.


    rk was momentarily taken aback, his expression twisting into something even more grotesque. He seemed choked by her words, as if he had just swallowed something bitter. Nearby, Jordyn caught the exchange and a sh of indignation ignited in her eyes. She opened her mouth to respond, but—


    “Shut up.” rk’s voice was cold and final, his gaze still locked onto N, as if she were the only one in the room.


    The scene pierced N’s heart like a dagger. Here was her husband, standing protectively over his lover, and everything around her felt surreal, almostughable in its absurdity. She had reached her limit; she couldn’t bear to witness this charade any longer. The suffocating atmosphere was too much to endure.


    In a flurry of movement, N began to shove items from the table into her suitcase, her hands trembling with urgency. She needed to escape this stifling ce, to break free from the prison of emotions that had begun to suffocate her.


    “I’m leaving,” she stated, her eyes fixed on the ground, pulling her suitcase toward the door with a determination that belied her inner turmoil.


    But rk was not about to let her slip away so easily. In a swift motion, he seized her wrist, his grip firm enough to elicit a frown from her.


    “Where do you think you’re going?” His voice was low, almost menacing, a growl that sent a shiver down her spine.


    “Let go of me,” N demanded, struggling against his hold, her heart racing with a mix of fear and anger.


    rk disregarded her protests, dragging her forcefully from the hospital room and heading straight for the stairwell. Jordyn, sensing the tension, made to follow, but rk shot her a look that silenced her.


    The stairwell was deserted, an eerie silence enveloping them as rk pushed N into a corner. He pressed his hands against the wall on either side of her, effectively trapping her in a small space.


    “N,” he said, his voice thick with desperation, his eyes bloodshot and filled with a pain that seemed almost palpable. “Do you still hold any feelings for me?”


    N felt the walls closing in around her, the intensity of his gaze piercing through her defenses. She could see the anguish etched into his features, yet she was bewildered by the question he posed.


    “What do you mean?” she replied, her tone steady, betraying none of the chaos that roiled within her.


    “Just now, in the hospital room, you witnessed me with Jordyn. You saw me defending her. Didn’t you feel even a flicker of jealousy? Didn’t you care at all?” His voice quivered, revealing the vulnerability he was desperately trying to mask.


    In that moment, N realized the twisted truth: rk’s indulgence of Jordyn had been a ploy, a desperate attempt to elicit some sign of emotion from her. Yet, herposed indifference had shattered his expectationspletely.


    A bitter irony washed over N. “You embrace your lover,mand me to apologize to her, and now you question my feelings? rk, do you truly think this is reasonable?”


    “Then tell me, do you care or not?” His voice escted, nearly a shout, echoing off the sterile walls of the stairwell.


    “I don’t care.” The words slipped from N’s lips without a moment’s hesitation. “I stopped caring long ago.”


    The impact of her deration crushed rk. He stood before the woman who had once adored him, now gazing at him with an icy detachment that felt like a knife twisting in his heart.


    Memories flooded rk’s mind—how N used to gaze at him with such warmth, how she would fret if he waste returning home, how her smile could light up the darkest days. When had all of that faded? When had she transformed into this stranger who felt nothing for him?


    The realization struck him like a thunderbolt. He had been so consumed with testing her love that he had failed to see the moment she had truly stopped caring. The woman he clung to was already gone, slipping through his fingers like sand.


    “Good. Very good,” rk managed a twisted smile, one that was more painful than triumphant. “Even if you find me repulsive, I won’t let you leave, N.”


    He leaned in closer, his breath brushing against her face, the proximity making her heart race for all the wrong reasons. “We are destined to be entangled for life.”


    Just then, the stairwell door creaked open. Jordyn stepped in, clutching her stomach, her expression one of distress. “rk…” she whimpered, her voice trembling. “My stomach hurts so much. Is something wrong with the baby?”


    Her entrance shattered the tension like ss breaking. rk nced at N, then turned his attention to Jordyn.


    “I’ll take you back to the room.” He chose Jordyn, his decision made with a finality that left N feeling hollow.


    As rk assisted Jordyn out, N’s heart sank further. Thest remnants of warmth she had felt for him evaporated, leaving behind a chilling emptiness.


    But once out of N’s sight, rk’s demeanor shifted entirely. A cold smile reced any semnce of warmth as he regarded Jordyn.


    “Had enough of your little performance?” His voice was sharp, cutting through the air like a knife.


    “I… I don’t understand what you’re saying,” Jordyn stammered, attempting to maintain the fragile facade she had constructed.


    “Don’t understand?” rk halted and turned to face her, his expression icy. “You think I couldn’t tell you were acting? The way you deliberately hit the cab, the way you fell down? Do you honestly believe these tricks are clever?”


    Jordyn’splexion drained of color, fear creeping into her eyes. “rk, I…”


    “I was merely using you to gauge N’s feelings,” he stated with disdain. “Know your ce. Don’t overestimate your cleverness.”


    His words doused the flickering me of hope within Jordyn, leaving her feeling exposed and vulnerable. She had never anticipated that her carefully crafted n would appear so pathetic to rk.


    rk’s thoughts spiraled as he reyed the earlier confrontation. He had orchestrated the entire scene to provoke any reaction from N, any indication that she still cared for him. But herplete indifference was far more painful than any anger could have been. At least anger would have shown she felt something.


    The truth that he meant nothing to her anymore gnawed at him, a pain deeper than he had ever imagined. He had pushed her away so many times, convinced she would always return. But now, she truly had let go.


    “Why did you protect me then?” Jordyn asked, her voice trembling with confusion and hurt.


    “Protect you?” rk’sughter was devoid of warmth, a hollow sound. “I only wanted to see if N would still feel jealous over me. Unfortunately, she disappointed me.”


    With that, rk turned on his heel, leaving Jordyn standing alone in the hallway, her heart aching with the weight of his words.


    Though she felt immense emotional turmoil, Jordyn refused to sumb to despair. She gently ced a hand on her lower abdomen, determination igniting in her eyes.


    “As long as I give birth to this child,” she vowed silently, her resolve hardening. “I’ll hold the ultimate trump card.”


    Meanwhile, in another hospital room, Luciay in bed, her injuries far more severe than N’s. A fractured leg confined her to bedrest for months, but the physical pain paled inparison to the jealousy and rage simmering within her.


    She loathed N, resenting how effortlessly she garnered sympathy and support from those around her. A malicious n began to take shape in her mind.


    Lucia recalled Keh, the gambler who had done so much for her. Perfect. She could manipte Keh to deal with N. And since Keh knew too much about her, she could also handle him.


    With a calcted calm, Lucia picked up the phone from her bedside and dialed a familiar number.


    “Keh…” Her voice dripped with sweetness, but her eyes sparkled with a predatory gleam. “If you follow my lead, I’ll ensure youe into so much money that you’ll never spend it all in this lifetime.”Conclusion

With every passing moment, she felt the shackles of her past loosen, paving the way for a future that was hers to define.


    Meanwhile, as rk’s heart crumbled under the weight of N’s rejection, the darkness within him began to fester.
