Ivy suddenly let out a loud shout, drawing annoyed glares from the other women.
"Why are you yelling? Did we hit a nerve?" "Exactly. Weren't you the one who was so proud before? The master's been calling for you lately, even taking you to the auction yesterday." "And you said you wouldn't fall for him, yet here you are, completely conquered after just a few days. Tsk, tsk." The women in this house were no ordinary group. Three women could make a ; with so many of them together, the competition was fierce. Each had stayed for her own reasons, yet all of them, without exception, had fallen for the one man they should never love.
Kyle Raymond never restricted their freedom. They could leave any tthey wanted, but none of them ever did. They had cfor wealth and luxury, but now, what kept them there was their insatiable desire for the man himself.
They knew he wouldn't fall for any of them. But he also wouldn't love anyone else, which was enough. Being able to watch him from tto tsatisfied them all equally.
Many of the women hadn't been submissive at first. After experiencing Kyle's rough treatment, they had initially felt fear and resentment. But over time, they began to accept it, even crave it. Ordinary men could no longer satisfy them. They trapped themselves in this gilded cage and refused to leave.
To them, Kyle Raymond was a blazing sun, high above and unattainable, belonging to no one. This balance was what kept the peace in the mansion. If he ever truly fell for one woman, it would destroy the fragile, twisted harmony.
Ivy had developed feelings for him, unable to suppress them. She had thought she was different, that she held a special place in his heart. But now, she realized she was no different from the others.
Meanwhile, in the master bedroom, Aurora was burning with fever, her mind clouded. Since childhood, Aurora had been given special medications by Tina, leaving her unable to have children and with a fragile body prone to illness. A simple cold that others might shake off with srest would linger and worsen for her.
The recent freezing temperatures had taken their toll. Busy with work and neglecting exercise, Aurora had finally succumbed to illness. This was why Julian always took extra care of her, even going so far as to change the bedding and ensure the room was warm before her return.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut with Julian away, Aurora, used to his care, had ignored her own condition. Last night, restless and anxious, she had sought solace by standing in the cold, unaware of the consequences.
Kyle Raymond had taken it upon himself to care for her. After giving her fever medication, he stayed by her side, repeatedly applying cold compresses to her face. However, the fever showed no signs of subsiding. Instead, it worsened.
Her temperature had soared past 39°C (102°F), and even after medication, it climbed higher. Furious, Kyle threw the towel he was holding onto the floor.
"You said it was just a cold! Why hasn't her fever gone down?" "Master, under normal circumstances, the medicine should've worked by now. I'm not sure why her condition is so unusual," the doctor stammered, trembling under Kyle's glare.
"I don't want excuses. I want results. Get her fever down. Now!" Kyle's voice was a low growl, his frustration evident.
"Using an antipyretic injection is the only option left, but it could have side effects. I wouldn't recommend it," the doctor replied nervously.
"Then figure something out!" Kyle roared, his rage boiling over.
He couldn't forget the image of a loved one leaving him years ago. That memory haunted him, fueling his determination to never let anyone die in his presence again.
He reached under the pillow, pulling out a gun and pressing it against the doctor's head. His bloodshot eyes burned with intensity.
"I don't care what you do. Bring her fever down immediately," he hissed.
The doctor, terrified, dropped the stethoscope from her trembling hands.
"Master, please calm down. I'll handle it right away!" she promised, hastily preparing the injection.
The needle pierced Aurora's pale skin, causing her to frown slightly in her sleep. Kyle's rough hand gently smoothed the crease between her brows.
"Don't be afraid. It won't hurt," he murmured, even though she couldn't hear him.
Perhaps it was the blood on his hands that made him so drawn to Aurora's purity. Her unique aura had captivated him without him even realizing it.
The doctor and the butler exchanged a glance. Seeing Kyle Raymond's uncharacteristic tenderness, they both understood: this time, he was serious.
Kyle kicked aside the discarded towel and fetched a fresh one from the bathroom.
Wetting it with cold water, he draped it across Aurora's forehead.
"Master, it's late. We'll take care of her. You should rest," the butler suggested cautiously.
Kyle shot him a glare, silencing him immediately.

"Who is it?" Kyle's voice was sharp and icy.
"Master, it's me," Ivy called from outside. Sensing his irritation, she hesitated before continuing, "I heard you've been in the room all this time. Is there anything you need?"
Biting her lip, she was astonished to learn that Kyle had brought a woman nto the master bedroom and even allowed the doctor inside.
Had he gone overboard and hurt the woman? Perhaps he wasn't finished yet. Ivy had hoped to prove her E uniqueness to him. "Get lost!" Kyle snapped, his tone colder than the winter air.
"Master, I just-" "Lee," Kyle called, turning to the butler.
"Yes, Master," the butler replied.
"Make her quiet," Kyle ordered, his voice as frigid as ever.
Ivy didn't realize her mere words had provoked Kyle's wrath. She had no idea what punishment awaited her.
