Chapter: Chapter 131 — She'll Live~ ALISTAIR ~A chill froze me on the spot—I couldn’t move for a few seconds.My eyes were locked on the blood—it soaked through her clothes, trailed down her legs, and stained the floor beneath her. There was so much of it that it didn’t even look real anymore.“…Save the baby…”Her weak voice came again. It was barely audible, but it hit me harder than anything else in the room.My gaze snapped back to her pale face and trembling lips, her hand weakly pressed against her abdomen.Pregnant.. The word echoed in my head, sharp and disorienting.She was pregnant? My child?..I didn’t remember her. I didn’t remember anything that led to this moment. But standing there, looking at her like that—bleeding, breaking, yet still begging me to save the life inside her—it was as if something inside me was shattered.Even with all the confusing thoughts hitting me at once, my hands moved swiftly. The straps around her wrists came loose under my grip, then the ones binding her legs. I worked quickl

Chapter: Chapter 131 — Save Our Child~ ISLA ~“What the fuck!?”Markus’ angry and stunned voice echoed in the room.My head snapped toward where the sound came from—and my breath caught instantly.The bulky man had a hole in his chest and collapsed on the floor. In the next second, blood spread underneath him—dark and thick, pooling across the floor.My fingers trembled against the restraints as my vision blurred for a second. Cold sweat oozed from my body due to the continuous contractions in my belly. My strength was slowly fading.A moment later, I heard footsteps approaching—firm, powerful. Each step echoed like a countdown, sending violent thuds against my chest.My heart raced as I lifted my head—and finally saw hope.Alistair stood at the doorway, his hand wrapped tightly around the pistol’s handle. His expression was stony and cold. Ruthless. His rigid gaze locked onto the scene in front of him—and then on me.Everything seemed to disappear for a moment. And all that was left was us, staring deeply at each other.

Chapter: CHAPTER 130 – He's Here~ ISLA ~“You…?”My voice came out in a gasp. My eyes were still wide with disbelief as I stared at the man standing in front of me.Markus.For a long moment, my mind refused to process it. The last thing I knew—he was in jail. Alistair had personally made sure of that. There was no way he should be standing here right now.Yet here he was—free—and staring at me like I was dirt beneath his shoes.A slow smirk spread across his lips as he looked down at me.“Surprised?” he asked casually.A chill ran down my spine as memories flashed violently in my mind—the hotel… the fear, the helplessness…My fingers curled tightly against the restraints. I wasn’t familiar with this man when I first stepped into the Montgomery family. But one thing I knew—he might look harmless, but he was nothing less than a cunning man. Now, I had a vague idea why he had brought me here.I forced myself to breathe, trying to stay calm despite the panic rising in my chest.“Why did you do this?” I asked, keeping m

Chapter: CHAPTER 129 – Find Me~ ALISTAIR ~The car was quiet, but a slow tension was building.I sat in the backseat, one arm resting against the door while my other hand held my phone. The faint glow of the screen reflected in my eyes as I scrolled through the files Evan had just sent.A list of Liana’s recent activities filled the screen—her whereabouts, contacts, transactions.My eyes narrowed slightly when I found a series of deposits. Large amounts had been sent from an anonymous account multiple times.A faint scoff escaped my lips.“Still the same,” I muttered under my breath.Greedy. Opportunistic. Easily bought. Nothing about her had changed.I continued scrolling until another file appeared—a video this time. I tapped it open.The footage was taken from a distance, in a secluded resto bar. The lighting was dim, and the angle was poor. But that didn’t stop me from recognizing the person in the video.Even with just the silhouette, I already knew who it was.Markus.My jaw tightened slightly as I watched

Chapter: CHAPTER 128 – Someone Took Her~ ALISTAIR ~I was in the middle of a discussion with Mr. Chandler and Mr. Morris about the projections for my new project when my phone buzzed on the table.The screen showed my driver calling. I frowned slightly at the timing, but I didn’t pick it up.After the initial call, my phone rang again.My eyes snapped to it—the same caller.“I’ll excuse myself for a moment,” I said, picking up the phone with irritation.Emery opened her mouth to protest, but I only gave her a cold look before standing.The restaurant was a bit crowded, so I walked toward a semi-quiet hallway before answering the call.“Mr. Montgomery,” the driver’s voice came, slightly tense.“What is it?” I snapped, gritting my teeth.“It’s… it’s Madam, sir,” he stammered. “She’s missing.”The noise from the dining area seemed to fade. And suddenly, a vague ache formed in my head. I had heard that same line before—but I couldn’t remember where.“What did you say?” My voice dropped low as I pinched the bridge of my nose. T

Chapter: CHAPTER 127 – Forgiveness Before Goodbye~ ISLA ~The car moved steadily along the road, with the bustling city slowly passing by outside the tinted window.I sat quietly in the backseat, my fingers resting lightly on my lap. Without realizing it, a small smile had already formed on my lips.My mind replayed what happened earlier—Alistair’s expression, the way his jaw ticked like he was holding back his anger… the way he looked at me when I was with Simon.He was jealous. Obviously. Even if he denied it a hundred times. Even if he tried to hide it behind rules and logic.He was still reacting to me.Somehow, my chest felt lighter at the thought. This was the first time something inside me didn’t feel so heavy after a week of feeling like I was dragged through hell over and over again.I won’t deny the fact that I was becoming more hopeful—that there was still a chance between us.My fingers moved unconsciously to my abdomen, resting there gently.“Hang in there, sweetheart. Mom’s going to win Dad back,” I whispered under my

Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO
Alexander Harris has always been cold and indifferent—a ruthless CEO who values power over love. Haunted by a dark past and unable to bear a woman’s touch, he vowed never to fall for anyone.
Until he met Everette Carson.
From the moment their paths crossed, Everette challenged everything he believed in. When his grandmother threatened to give 15% of the company’s shares to his estranged father unless he marries, Alexander saw an opportunity. Everette’s fire, defiance, and beauty made her the perfect pawn for a marriage of convenience. Silencing his grandmother and putting Everette in her place? It was supposed to be the perfect plan.
But nothing about her was ever simple.
The more time he spent with her, the harder it became to keep his walls up. Everette’s warmth began to melt the ice around his heart—awakening memories of a mysterious girl from his past—the only soul who had ever touched his own. When the truth of their first meeting comes to light, Alexander realizes their bond was never coincidence. It was fate.
Just as love begins to take root, long-buried secrets resurface. Dangerous enemies rise. And betrayal strikes from within.
When Everette finally walked away to protect them both, Alexander broke—his desperation unraveling as he threatened to end his life.
“Evie… if you walk away today, you will never have the chance to see me again in this life.”
But she didn’t stop walking.
The gunshot echoed across the runway.
And nothing was ever the same again.
Now, with everything on the line, fate brings them back together one last time. Will love be enough to heal what was broken, or are they destined to fall apart… all over again?

Her head was still fuzzy from the residue of the medicine she had inhaled yesterday.The last thing she remembered, she was having a meal in her suite when she heard someone knocking outside. And when she opened the door, she was knocked out.Her body still ached from her struggle to break free. When her mind finally cleared, her hands immediately flew to her belly.Her child!Fortunately, she didn’t feel anything wrong inside or any pain in her lower abdomen. Her baby was safe.She tried to sit up and scanned her eyes around the whole area—hoping to find some light. But there was nothing out there, only endless darkness.She slowly stood up and walked through the darkness like someone blind, until her hands found a cold metal wall.Where was she?A sudden, bone-chilling coldness crept into her heart. She could hear the faint sound of a whirring engine and the waves of the ocean. If she wasn’t mistaken, she was on a ship.

Chapter: Chapter 177- No One Leaves Alive The air blowing at Blackwater Pier was biting and cold—carrying the strong smell of saltwater.Alex stood there alone, the wind brushing past him as waves hit the docks with steady rhythm. His eyes locked on the dark sea ahead.Somewhere out there, Eve was waiting.Somewhere on a ship that shouldn’t even be there, boarded by the last person he ever wanted to see again—Caroline.Earlier that day, everything had already moved into motion. Daniel had successfully breached their surveillance. The system wasn’t easy to crack, but he got in and found the exact position of the ship. It was a disguised cargo vessel, voyaging back to Finnland. It looked ordinary from a distance, but Daniel’s intel told a different story.It was one of Victor's cargo ships that carried their illegal shipments back and forth. In Daniel's estimation, there must be thirty armed men patrolling it day and night, aside from the ship's crew.Caroline wasn’t playing games this time. She had been plotting this for a whi

Even if you had the top hacker in the world, you still wouldn’t find my location,” she said with dripping sarcasm.Alex nearly exploded.“Caroline… if you so much as touch a strand of Evie’s hair, I swear I’ll kill you. This time, I’ll make sure you burn to ashes.”Caroline laughed again—crisp, cruel, and echoing through the line.“Oh Alex, do you think I’m scared of your little threat?” She laughed once more.“I’ve been through hell. I’m not afraid to die. But how about you? Are you ready to exchange your life for the woman you love?”It was an ultimatum.Alex’s fists cracked from how

Chapter: CHAPTER 70- The Night He Finally BrokeGrayson didn’t remember how he ended up at Dylan’s bar.What he only remembered was him slamming the door behind him when he left Aurora's room at the hospital. Her trembling voice… eyes swollen from crying… And her final words sliced through him like a thorned leash.‘Whatever we had… it’s over. Completely.’Those words chased him like a shadow he couldn’t outrun.Now he sat slumped over the velvet couch of their private lounge, shoulders heavy, breath uneven. His usually sharp, cold gaze was gone—replaced by something hollow and broken.Dylan watched him quietly from across the table, a deep frown pulling at his brows. He had seen Grayson angry, ruthless, violent… but never like this.“Brother,” Dylan said carefully, sliding him another glass. “Slow down. You’re going to knock yourself out at this rate.”Grayson didn’t even look up. He lifted the glass with a shaking hand and swallowed it in one go.“I want to forget,” he muttered, voice low and hoarse. “Just for tonight.”“Forget w

He was ready to silence it altogether.But the name that flashed on the screen made him curious.The call was from Edith.He answered it subconsciously. “What’s the matter?”Edith's voice cracked on the other end.
