Chapter: HIGH STAKES CHAPTER 74.The low hum of the private jet filled the air as it touched down on the private strip. Liam stood with his hands in his pockets, sharp eyes scanning the sleek aircraft as the door opened.John stepped out with the unhurried grace of a man who had seen too much of the world to be fazed by anything. Tall, broad-shouldered, with a quiet confidence in the way he carried himself, he looked every bit like someone born to slip into any role and make it believable.“John.” Liam greeted with a nod, though his tone carried a trace of curiosity. “Didn’t expect to see you this soon.”“Neither did I,” John replied, his voice low and edged with amusement. “But when William calls in the middle of the night, you know it’s serious.”Minutes later, they arrived at William’s townhouse. The tension in the room was palpable as William rose to meet his old friend. For the first time that day, there was a flicker of relief in his eyes.“You made good time,” William said, clasping his hand firmly

Chapter: DO AS I SAY CHAPTER 73.Carlos swirled the amber liquid in his glass as his phone buzzed on the desk. Without glancing at the screen, he answered—only three people had access to this line.“Uncle,” Kate’s voice trembled through the receiver, carrying just the right hint of desperation.A slow smile spread across Carlos’s lips. He leaned back in his leather chair, savoring the moment. “Go on, my dear,” he drawled. “Tell me—what has your husband done this time?”“I… I just found out he’s into gambling,” Kate whispered. “It’s been going on for eight months now.”Carlos’s brows arched, his interest instantly piqued. “Is that so? And how did you discover this… unfortunate habit?”“I managed to check his phone,” she confessed. “There were messages about the last game he played. He lost fifty thousand, Uncle. And it’s not just that—he’s planning to bet an even bigger amount this weekend.”Carlos chuckled softly, the sound dripping with satisfaction. “Well, well… this is perfect. We can use this against

Chapter: GAME ROOM CHAPTER 72Jeremy's House — Game room.Jeremy’s shout echoed through the game room as his character was shot down for the third time in a row. Liam chuckled, snatching victory with ease.“Unbelievable. You’re cursed,” Liam teased.Jeremy tossed the controller onto the couch, scowling. “No, I’m distracted. Too much crap going on lately.”Liam’s laughter faded. He glanced at his friend, sensing there was more behind the words than just a lost game.Liam studied his face. “What's wrong?” He asked, settling back into his chair and giving Jeremy his full attention. "What's bothering the almighty Jeremy?"Jeremy was quiet for a moment, his hands clasped together as he stared at the blank television screen. "It's this whole Donovan situation. Emma and I have been working so hard trying to penetrate his digital security, trace his communications, find some kind of vulnerability we can exploit." He shook his head. "But all our efforts seem to be in vain.""Why do you say so?""Military-grade

Chapter: WORTH IT CHAPTER 71Carlos sat in silence long after the door closed, the echo of Kate’s footsteps fading down the hall. His fingers tapped against the desk steadily, his expression unreadable.He knew something was off at how Kate behaved but he couldn't figure it out.She had played her part well — too well. The tremble in her voice, the wounded act, the way she had shielded her stomach like a woman protecting more than a child. It was convincing.He was never going to give in completely. He believed she planned all of that. Whatever game she's playing, he's ready to play along with her. He will just kill two birds with one stone — have William crushed down and get rid of Kate.Perfect planning.He let out a loud laugh, echoing round the room.Either way, he would win.___Donovan moved across the room, settling into the leather chair across from the massive oak desk where the SE sat wreathed in cigar smoke."We're running out of time," Donovan said, his voice cutting through the haze.

Chapter: AND I NEVER LIE, UNCLE CARLOSCHAPTER 70.Carlos stood by the tall window of his house, the city lights sprawled out below like prey waiting to be hunted. His phone was still warm in his palm, Hemsworth’s stammering voice replaying in his head.He had expected William to dig into the matter—of course he would—but not this quickly. Sooner or later, William would come straight for him.Lifting the phone again, Carlos dialed Donovan’s number.“Answer the call,” he muttered under his breath.“Yes,” came Donovan’s calm, soft voice.“William is at it again,” Carlos said.“So?”Carlos’s tone sharpened. “What do you mean so? Sooner or later he’ll get to the root of this, and when he does, both of us will be exposed.”“He won’t find out.”“Oh, please. Hemsworth just called me—William has already threatened him. Do you really think Hemsworth won’t crack under pressure?”“Don’t worry. I’ll handle Hemsworth. You just focus on your part.”Carlos paused. “Have you spoken with the SE already?”“Yeah. He’s waiting for Howard’s re

Chapter: OH MY GODCHAPTER 69.Kate and Tina arrived at the address Mr. Howard sent earlier. It was the older part of town where the buildings leaned with age and the streetlights flickered like they had seen better days.“This place looks… abandoned,” Tina murmured, eyeing the cracked pavement and the peeling paint on the doors.Kate’s grip tightened on her bag. “Stay close.”Kate knocked. Once. Twice.The door creaked open, revealing a tall man in a dark suit, his hair neatly combed back. His sharp eyes scanned them both before settling on Kate.“You came,” he said in a low voice. “Good. Come inside. We don’t have much time.”The interior was dim, lit only by a desk lamp in the far corner. Papers were spread across an old wooden table — documents, photographs, and what looked like scanned copies of contracts.Kate sat cautiously, Tina hovering just behind her.Mr. Howard slid a folder toward Kate. “These were hidden in your father’s private archive. They were never meant to see the light of day… espe

REVENGE AND DESIRE
Damien Lancaster, the cold and ruthless heir to a billion-dollar empire, has spent years plotting his revenge against Selene Carter—the woman he believes ruined his life.
Damien and Selene were once lovebirds, so much in love they couldn't do without each other. They met at a business party.
Years later, the lovers who were once the talk of the town became the laughingstock. Damien's business crumbled, and he was back to square one.
The moment his business collapsed was also when Selene vanished without a trace. He began to believe she was behind his downfall—and she wasn’t there when he needed her most.
Years later, Damien is now successful. He meets Selene again—she’s doing all kinds of jobs, struggling to survive.
Damien approaches her with one motive—revenge. He tries to lure her in, but she resists.
When an opportunity arises, he forces her into a fake marriage to secure a deal and restore his image. Selene, drowning in debt and legal trouble, has no choice but to sign.
The contract: no love, a time limit, and total control. But as emotions resurface and secrets unravel, Damien finds himself falling for the woman he swore to destroy.
Their twisted love faces betrayal, secrets, pregnancy—and a dangerous threat.

Chapter: HUNT HER DOWNCHAPTER 68The phone on Damien's desk vibrated once. He ignored it. Then it vibrated again, more insistent this time, like a silent alarm demanding attention. Damien remained perfectly still, his eyes fixed on the corner of the desk as if staring hard enough could erase the need to react.His thoughts weren't on stocks or headlines or the ten messages waiting in his inbox. They were stuck in the silence of the room next door. He was thinking about Selene,it's been two days since she left and yet nothing from her.He has searched everywhere in this city but yet he has no clue of where she is. Zayne pushed the door open without pausing to knock. His expression was unreadable as he crossed the room with deliberate confidence. Damien barely reacted. His posture remained unchanged, like a man too used to holding still when the world began to fall apart.Zayne tapped the screen once and left it facing up on the table. The message preview displayed only two words—her name, "Selene Lancas

Chapter: VANISHEDCHAPTER 67 Selene did not sleep that night. She lay in silence, staring up at the ceiling, her body still but her mind in turmoil. She pressed her hand against her stomach, feeling the subtle changes that had begun to show. The life growing inside her was the only thing that mattered now.It would be morning any minute. She remained in her room while Damien slept in his, probably resting peacefully, unaware that his world was about to shift. She had decided to leave tonight, and now she waited for Lady Lina.At four-thirty in the morning, she rose without hesitation. She moved through her room in practiced silence, her bare feet making no sound on the cold marble floor. She had learned to be quiet in this house—it was a survival skill she had mastered long ago.She packed only what mattered. A single coat, soft and oversized, hiding the slight swell in her lower stomach. Two changes of clothes, nothing that would be missed immediately. The appointment was for next week, in a clini

Chapter: PERFECTCHAPTER 66The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting golden streaks across the empty bed. Selene's hand reached across the cold sheets where Damien should have been, her fingers curling around nothing but silk and disappointment. He hadn't come home after he left with Zayne yesterday.Her stomach twisted with nausea that had nothing to do with the pregnancy and everything to do with the conversation she'd overheard yesterday. She pressed her palm against her abdomen, feeling the secret life growing there, the tiny heartbeat that matched her own racing pulse.The pregnancy symptoms were stronger today. Her body felt different, more sensitive, more aware of every sensation. She stood slowly, gripping the bedpost as a wave of dizziness washed over her. The mirror reflected back a woman she barely recognized, her eyes holding shadows that hadn't been there a week ago.Selene made her way downstairs, the familiar sounds of the estate greeting her like old friends. But today

Chapter: MAKE IT WORSECHAPTER 65 The morning felt like glass—clear, delicate, and seconds from shattering.Selene stood beneath the sterile lights of a private hospital wing, her hands braced against the cold counter as she signed her name. Her fingers trembled slightly, not from fear, but from the sheer numbness that had taken hold since dawn. Everything around her moved in silence, as though the world itself had gone mute to allow her to break in peace.She hadn’t spoken since she arrived.Not to the nurse who checked her in.Not to the technician who drew her blood.Not even to the doctor now seated across from her, holding a single sheet of paper between careful hands, as if the results themselves could shatter with a breath.“Mrs Lancaster,” the doctor said gently, using the kind of voice reserved for those standing at the edge of something life-altering. “You’re pregnant.” he dropped the bomb.The words didn’t echo. They didn’t rattle her bones or crash through her ribs. They simply… settled.Selen

Chapter: SELENE. WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING UNTO?CHAPTER 64 The storm had passed, but the damage remained.Selene sat alone in the sunroom, watching the soft gray mist still hanging over the estate grounds. Her body remained completely still, her spine upright yet heavy. Her hands, folded neatly in her lap, refused to move. The windows no longer rattled with thunder, but her world had not calmed. Not truly. Not inside.Lady Lina had entered earlier, leaving a tray of untouched food beside her on a low marble table. She had not spoken. She had only placed her hand gently on Selene’s shoulder, offering a silent kind of comfort, and walked away. Selene did not remember saying thank you. She barely remembered Lady Lina leaving at all.The silence was worse than the storm because it was real,it could not be outrun and it demanded attention.She didn’t want to cry. Crying would mean she still had something left to mourn. But it wasn’t sadness that knotted her ribs now,it was something sharper. Something bitter that would not soften, no m

Chapter: SO MUCH FOR TRYING TO FIX THINGSCHAPTER 63 Selene rose early that morning, not because she had slept well or because the house was quiet, but because guilt had stolen the last remnants of rest from her body. Damien’s voice haunted her, the weight of his words pressing against her ribs. The look he had given her still burned in her memory—as if she had taken something sacred, as if she had become the enemy in her own home.She dressed slowly, choosing the soft beige robe tucked in the back of the wardrobe. It was not a seductive choice. She chose it because it was the last thing Damien had ever touched her in. The last thing he had slowly peeled from her shoulders without rage, without coldness.Downstairs, the estate felt heavier than it had the day before. The silence was not peaceful, instead it was punishing.Julius stood at the base of the stairwell, watching her descend. He did not say a word. He asked no questions. He simply gave her a look that felt like permission—a silent acknowledgment that she was runn
