Chapter: Chapter 88Marco's POV “I need to find my son,” Luca muttered under his breath, his hand clenched into a fist beside him. His jaw was clenched so tight a vein pushed along his neck.In my whole years of being with Luca, being his friend at college and his assistant at work, I had seen him angry, frustrated, and furious. But this? This was something else, desperation laced with something very unfamiliar.Luca was in love…It did take me this long to realize that he had completely fallen in love with Silver. I remembered how angry he was about getting married to her back then. How time flies, and here we are in a crazy situation none of us had expected. A child? Luca had a child somewhere out there, and he had that child with Silver.As crazy as it sounded, I was too shocked to figure out when or how they had a child together.Before I could form a proper thought, Mr. Williams sank slowly into the leather couch behind Luca. His usually calm face had gone completely pale, almost sunken, like the

Chapter: Chapter 87Luca's POV “Based on the massive amount of damage, it's impossible to determine the cause of the fire,” the detective said warily.My heart sank.I gave him a small nod as I watched him leave my sight. The reporters were still trying to take photos of the site, asking questions on the latest update. I turned towards Marco and Ava. “Do you have any idea what her phone’s password could be?” I asked Ava, and she nodded slowly.I reached for my pocket. And hand her the phone. After trying to fix a few gaps yesterday, I had gotten a call from the security head at the event center.They had found Silver… Nyla's phone was on the ground together with her bag, and they had found out it was ours because of the photo in her bag.When the man had brought it earlier, I couldn't stop the ache I felt deep down in my chest while staring at the photo we had taken in the park.“I'm not sure, she must've changed it.” Ava’s voice cut into my thoughts. She was still battling with what she thought might

Chapter: Chapter 86Ava's POV I woke up to a loud thud in my head, not from bumping into a wall or something, but from being utterly stressed out yesterday and confused as well. I rub my fingers on my forehead as I walk towards my kitchen counter. I stretched upward to take a glass cup from the kitchen cabinet since the cabinet was quite high. I opened my small mini fridge and brought out a bottle of water. Pouring it into the glass cup, I took a small sip from it. I took a deep breath, scanning through my small apartment, and for some reason, the house felt oddly empty, probably because I spent almost the whole night with Marco by my side and had woken up to his absence. I hope Mrs. Valenti will be okay. The thought of something happening to her sent shivers down my spine. She might not be everyone's favorite, but she was mine. She was like the family I never had. Growing up in an orphanage, struggling to survive, and even getting a business degree might sound quite easy, except it wasn't.

Chapter: Chapter 85Luca's POV I subconsciously took a few steps backwards, my father's words echoing in my head.For a long second, I just stood there, motionless, as if my mind was trying to reject what my ears had just heard.“You weren't supposed to find out this way,” he said tiredly. “She was supposed to tell you herself.”I ended the call before he could continue, my eyes fixed back on the glass window. I didn't even know how to feel.All these months she had her walls up high, all this while her eyes were nothing but cold. But how come? I don't get it. What does my family have to do with the massacre from five years ago? Nothing seems to be making sense.I pressed a hand to my temple, my heartbeat thundering so loud it drowned out everything else.I need to breathe, I need a breather. All this while I thought she was finally opening her heart towards me. She had something else in mind… How could she? How could she live with me, smile at me, touch me, and keep something like this buried?My che

Chapter: Chapter 84Luca's POV “Our… our… son…” was the last word she managed to whisper before passing out in my arms.No… this can't be happening.“Stay with me, Silver!” I panicked, my voice cracking between my words. My hands were shaking terribly as I pressed down on her wounds, with blood soaking through my fingers thick and terrifyingly hot. Marco and Ava rushed up and stopped beside me.“Call an ambulance!” I yelled to no one in particular, I could barely keep up with my own thoughts.Amidst the chaos, people were running towards the exit, tripping over abandoned champagne glasses while they screamed as they continued fleeing the hall.Silver's face was slowly going pale; she was losing too much blood.Damn it!Where on earth is the ambulance?I couldn’t think. My thoughts were shattered all over the place.“Please be okay… please…” I whispered in between muffled voices as I scooped her into my arms. I couldn't wait any longer, I had no more time to do so.“The car is ready!” Marco said breat

Chapter: Chapter 83Nyla’s POVThe party was going well, with soft music, the soothing sound of people laughing, and waiters who moved around with trays of champagne. After a while, a group of performers took the stage and did a short choreography that got everyone clapping. Then the charity auction began, one of the Valenti family traditions, and the money always went to orphanages. People were bidding generously, clearly trying to show off their wealth.After a while, Luca started introducing me to some of his business partners. I smiled politely, shook hands, and nodded as he talked. Most of them were older men in expensive suits, and a few of their wives kept complimenting my dress. It felt wonderful but a little overwhelming.Ava finally found me in the crowd, her blue gown glittering under the lights, and she looked astonishing.Unlike the Ava I know, who's always in a suit and skirt, this Ava looked beautiful, with her dress bringing out her perfect figure and her hair in a messy bun with som

Chapter: Chapter 15“Is it true that you had a clash with Mr. Hart?” Iris asked; she was surprised when she heard the news flying the moment she and Carter came back from lunch. Hailey simply nodded with a hum.Right now, Iris had left her own desk and was now sitting casually at Hailey’s. This had been the kind of relationship they had, and since Hailey had apologized earlier, everything had gone back to how it used to be.“He was a complete nutcase,” Hailey scoffed, and Iris let out an amused chuckle. As far as she had known Hailey, standing up against someone had never happened. Hailey was the type that would rather stay on her own and swallow up whatever rubbish she was given.“I don't have the strength to fight back,” she had told Iris during college days.But now, sitting before Iris was a completely different person.“What did you do to my friend?” Iris gasped as she placed her hands on her chest, a dramatic way of expressing herself.Hailey laughed.Just then Carter walked up to them; as usual,

Chapter: Chapter 14The next morning came by faster than Hailey could have imagined; she worked and barely slept. Each time she does, she sees herself going back to the time she was murdered. When she eventually woke up, she was drenched in sweat and was breathing heavily.Reluctantly, she dragged herself out of bed, got ready for work, and tried her best to shake everything off. ~~~~By midday, the chatter from the office was starting to die down as everyone was preparing to go out for lunch. Iris had been giving Hailey some weird looks all morning but had never gone to approach her, not even when the situation pushed her to. Carter walked past Iris’s desk; they both exchanged subtle greetings before he finally stopped at Hailey's desk.“Hey babe,” Carter greeted as he leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead. Hailey only responded with a smile as she turned to face him properly.Iris's head snapped up a little; her eyes were fixed on her system, but her ears were listening closely to what Cart

Chapter: Chapter 13Mira extends her hand for a handshake, much to Hailey’s surprise, Hailey takes her stretched hands. Mira’s hands felt a little bit cold against Hailey's palm, this startled Hailey for a brief moment as she looked up at Mira with a confused expression.“That’s how my temperature usually is,” Mira quickly chipped in with a small smile. Upon seeing the confusion on her face, Hailey gave Mira a simple nod, still wondering why she felt so cold.Upon seeing how lost Hailey looked, she decided to break the awkward silence that was threatening to creep in. “Are you here all by yourself?” she asked, now taking back her hands.“Or are you here for a date?” Mira asked with a smirk.Hailey had to bite the inside of her cheek to stop herself from laughing, she let out a smile—a genuine one instead .“I won’t call it a date though.” Hailey responded.“I’m sorry for taking so much of your time already,” Mira apologized with a pout, placing her hands dramatically on her chest.Hailey shook her head

Chapter: Chapter 12Hailey sank into the passenger seat, shutting the door a little too firmly. The sound echoed through the quiet car before Dan started the engine. For a few seconds, she said nothing, her eyes were fixed on the glass reflection of the building outside. Dan glanced sideways. “Are you okay?” he asked. She forced a small smile while tugging at her seatbelt. “Yeah. I'm just a little bit drained.” He gave a slow nod. “Lovers’ quarrel?” Dan asked with a slightly teasing tone. Her head snapped toward him. “That’s not…” She stopped herself mid-sentence, taking a slow breath. “nothing of that sort.” Dan smirked faintly, an amusing smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “If you say so,” he shrugged casually. Hailey looked away, jaw tightening. She wasn’t upset about Carter seeing her with Dan, not really, but then she needed Carter if anything. Dan noticed the shift in her silence and chuckled quietly. “You always get that face when you’re thinking too hard.” “I’m not think

Chapter: Chapter 11As soon as Trevor left the room, the atmosphere shifted, like everyone could finally breathe again. Hailey was packing up her notepad when Iris’s soft laugh reached her ears. “Well,” Iris said with a honeyed tone, “looks like someone’s about to have a very busy few weeks.” Hailey looked up slowly, meeting her gaze. Iris’s smile was bright and polished, but it wasn't hard to notice the edge to it. “Guess Mr. Trevor must have really been impressed by you,” Iris added, resting her chin lightly on her palm. “Or maybe he’s just punishing you for nearly taking out one of his employees.” A few nearby colleagues chuckled under their breath. Hailey’s jaw tightened, but she forced a small, calm smile. “Or maybe,” she said softly, “he just thinks I can handle what others can’t.” That shut a few of them up. Iris blinked, she clearly wasn't expecting that. Before she could reply, another voice cut through the air. “Let’s not flatter ourselves, Miss Wyn” Mr. Hart. How could she ha

Chapter: Chapter 10Iris blinked as she watched her leave, her smile faltering once again. There was something in Hailey’s eyes, a quiet awareness that made her chest tighten with unease. Hailey leaned against the wall just outside the conference room, her arms folded loosely as she watched people walk in one by one. Mrs. Rose gave her a small nod with a smile before stepping in as well. The lady was too quiet; if anything, it was almost like she wasn't there. The air hummed with quiet conversation and the faint rustle of papers. Just then, Iris approached with a clipboard in her hand and that ever-pleasant smile on her face; Hailey straightened. “Hey,” Iris said softly, “aren’t you coming in?” she asked. Hailey’s lips curved into a faint smile that didn’t quite touch her eyes. “In a bit. I just… have some trash to take out.” Iris blinked hard as she paused mid-step. “Trash?” she repeated, tilting her head in confusion. “What are you talking about?” Hailey turned fully toward her now, that
