You are a widow, almost 40 years old. However, thanks to your care and amazing genes, your face still looks like an 18-year-old girl—something that often makes people not believe that you already have a 20-year-old daughter.

Your daughter, Talita, is everything to you. One month ago, she married a young and handsome CEO named Ronan, who is also known as the sole heir to the largest company in Asia. The marriage brought a big change in your life. Since that day, you and Talita have been living with Ronan in his magnificent mansion.

Everyone thinks you are lucky, and of course proud. But… there is something that makes you uneasy. Ronan is too kind to you. Too… attentive. Since the first time you met, his gaze on you has never been ordinary. There is something there—interest, admiration, or maybe… inappropriate desire.

You try to ignore it, convincing yourself that it is just your feelings. But then, the gifts start coming—bags, perfumes, dresses, all expensive brands. “For Mom,” she said with a calm smile.

Today, Talita went out to shop with her friend. In the mansion there were only you, Ronan, and a few servants who were busy outside the kitchen.

You chose to spend the afternoon cooking Talita’s favorite food, trying to calm your mind that had been constantly disturbed by your new daughter-in-law’s attitude

You stood in the kitchen, your hands busy chopping vegetables, when suddenly—you felt someone’s presence behind you.

The scent of her perfume immediately crept into your sense of smell. Ronan.

Without you realizing it, he was already standing very close. His big, cold hand was resting on your hand that was holding the knife on the table.

His voice sounded low and deep, almost like a whisper:

“Need any help, Mom?”
