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

Chapter: Chapter 9Iris laughed awkwardly, her fingers curling tightly around her drink. “Carter was just telling me some things that happened to him recently,” she said, forcing a soft laugh that didn’t quite hide the tension that was already there. “ Relax…I was only pulling your leg,” Hailey murmured with an eye roll and a light smile that didn't reach her eyes. Before either of them could respond, she stood up, gathering her tray. “I have tons of work to do,” she said quickly, anything to escape the suffocating energy between them. The cafeteria buzzed with laughter and clinking dishes, but everything felt muted to her ears. She was lost in her thoughts, replaying the scene of Carter’s easy smile and Iris’s soft laugh over and over again when it happened quickly. First it was a sudden jolt, followed by the loud crash of trays and then a hissing sound…. “Oh my God…!” Hailey gasped as the lady she had just bumped into, a young colleague from the marketing section, stumbled back, her white bl

Chapter: Chapter 8By the time Hailey arrived at the office, the place was screaming activities on a Tuesday morning with cameras rolling from every side of the company, not to mention the distant smell of burnt coffee. She steadied her breathing as she walked through the hallway, forcing a polite smile at those that greeted her. Just then, her eyes landed on Carter. He was leaning against his desk, his white long sleeve was rolled up revealing his strong arms, his expression was calm and confident. The moment their eyes met, his face brightened almost immediately. “There you are,”he remarked with a low teasing tone as he strode towards her, and before she could process what he wanted to do, he leaned towards her and pressed a soft kiss on her forehead. The gesture was casual and affectionate, the kind of thing that would have made her heart flutter once. But now, it sent a cold chill down her spine instead. A few coworkers nearby chuckled, whispering to one another. This made Carter grin , h

Chapter: Chapter 7“Thanks, Dan,” she said, her voice soft but carrying a hint of warmth as she stepped out of the car. “You owe me one, okay?” He responded with a small, satisfied smirk. “Whatever you want, Dan,” she muttered with an amused smile, and he grinned before driving off. Hailey rolled her eyes, an exasperated smile tugging at her lips. Some things just never change. Even back in college, Dan had this funny way of chasing after her, teasing and joking relentlessly. But now, seeing him again, she realized he was just… easygoing. Genuine. A stark contrast to the storm of betrayal she would experience in the future. Her thoughts flickered to the future, a few years from now. Dan, this same carefree and funny guy, would one day marry the daughter of a conglomerate. How strange, how different life could twist. Hailey turned her gaze toward her apartment building, its modest exterior a quiet reminder of simpler days. Slowly, she climbed the stairs, each step heavy with disbelief and the

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 82Nyla's POV I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection like I was a completely different person. The long off-shoulder silver gown clung to me perfectly like a second skin. Over the gown was a silver cape-like jacket that looked more like a net or cotton.But whatever this was, it added the finishing touch to the gown.A faint glitter caught the hem of the dress whenever I moved. The handwork of some top designers that Luca had insisted on hiring.Today was the D-day, the long-awaited event everyone spent months preparing for. It was finally today after all the long boardroom meetings, event planning, and all.And today was the day I'd be telling him everything, after the gala. I wonder if his actions towards me would still remain the same after he finds out everything.But I doubt that.For some reason, I couldn't shake the feeling that tonight would be different. Maybe it's just my nerves.I took a deep breath before adjusting my mask, a delicate piece of silver lace w

Chapter: Chapter 81Luca's POV I pulled into the estate's driveway, completely stressed out. I haven't had a single moment to breathe.As I stepped out of the car, I found myself walking inside the mansion, towards the stairs, stopping in front of Silver's door. I lifted my hands, already preparing to knock, when I paused halfway. What the hell was I doing?.It was already past midnight. And she probably doesn't even want to see me right now. After contemplating for a while, I took a deep breath, then lowered my hands down and walked straight to my room.I'll apologize for being a jerk tomorrow, and I hope she forgives me.Inside my room, the shower's heat did help in relieving me a bit, washing away today's chaos. But despite how relieved I felt, my head was still spinning from Selena's confession and the way she had displayed being fragile. That was the first time I was seeing her that way, and I didn't even know how to react towards her. I didn't want Silver being around, knowing how the two never

Chapter: Chapter 80Luca's POV I watched Silver walk out of the hospital, a small sad smile tugging at the corner of her lips before she left. Something in me snapped; I turned towards Selena with a sigh and then gently removed her hands from my arms. “Silver is my wife, Selena. If you really love me, you'd let me go,” I said softly. “Luca…” she frowned, then pressed her lips in a thin line. She slowly nodded, her eyes meeting mine. Just then, a doctor walked towards us, with a clipboard in his hand, wearing a professional expression. “Mr. Valenti,” he greeted, “your father is stable at the moment. It has to do with his age and some kind of stress. His blood pressure did spike a little bit, he's conscious, and you can see him,” he said. “But you have to keep it brief,” he added. I nodded, muttering a quiet thank you before following him down the long, sterile hallway. The click of my shoes against the polished floor echoed through the corridor as we walked towards his ward at the VIP part of th
