Chapter: chapter fifty one The atmosphere inside the conference room was tense but professional. Several executives sat around the large table while a foreign client discussed the details of a major partnership with Ward Industries. At the head of the table sat Elias looking calm and composed while listening attentively.A thick document lay open before him while the client continued speaking. Everything seemed normal Until the conference room door suddenly opened.Everyone turned as Mathew stepped inside. His expression immediately caught Elias's attention. Mathew rarely interrupted meetings And when he did, it was usually important."Sir." His voice was unusually serious.Elias frowned slightly and The room fell silent."Excuse us for a moment." He stood up and walked toward Mathew. The moment they stepped outside the room, Mathew lowered his voice."Mr. Lin is dead."For a brief second, Elias didn't react Then his expression darkened. "What?"Mathew nodded grimly. "The hospital confirmed it less t

Chapter: chapter fifty The rest of the day passed painfully slowly for Ava as she e sat in her office staring at the same document for almost ten minutes without reading a single word. Her father's face kept appearing in her mind,his pale face and weak voice while his trembling hands held hers.And most of all,his apology."I have failed you."The words refused to leave her mind. Ava leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes briefly. She should have hated him after everything he had done,all the times he chose Rose and Clara over her, all the years she spent feeling abandoned, but Yet his apology had shaken something inside her. For the first time in years, she had seen genuine regret in his eyes, Ava chest tightened as she thought of it.Ava opened her eyes and looked at the clock,three o'clock. An uneasy feeling had been bothering her since morning but the more she tried to ignore it, the stronger it became. Something felt very wrong.She picked up another file and tried reading it but failed.With

Chapter: chapter forty nine The entire morning, Ava found it difficult to concentrate. She sat behind her desk at Lin Industries, staring at the documents in front of her, but her thoughts were elsewhere. They kept drifting back to the previous night,Back to the storm and Back to Elias.A faint frown appeared on her face,She still couldn't understand him. One moment he acted distant and indifferent,the next moment he was holding her in his arms as though protecting her from the entire world. The memory of waking up briefly in the middle of the night and finding herself nestled against his chest made her cheeks grow warm.She immediately shook her head. "What are you thinking about, Ava?" Muttering to herself, she picked up another file and forced herself to focus. Just then her phone rang.She glanced at the screen and The call was from the Lin residence. A bad feeling immediately settled in her chest as she answered at once."Hello?"The voice of one of the maids came through the line. "Miss Ava!" The wo

Chapter: chapter forty eight Sunday mornings at the Ward residence were usually peaceful.For once, Ava woke up feeling refreshed. The events of the past few weeks seemed distant, and as she stretched beneath the warm covers, she realized she felt lighter than she had in a long time. After taking a shower and having a simple breakfast with Mrs. Linda, she found herself wandering around the house with nothing to do.The mansion was large, quiet, and almost empty. Elias had disappeared into his study early that morning, as usual.Ava sighed and said, "I'm bored."Mrs. Linda laughed from where she was arranging flowers. "Then come and help me in the garden."Ava's eyes brightened. "Really?""Of course."A few minutes later, she was outside in the flower garden wearing a simple dress and gardening qgloves. The morning air was cool and pleasant. She crouched beside a flower bed, carefully trimming leaves and removing weeds while chatting happily with Mrs. Linda."This flower is beautiful."Mrs. Linda smiled. "Th

Chapter: chapter forty seven Clara paced frantically around the living room of the Lin residence as her heels striked angrily against the marble floor. Ever since the divorce, she had moved back into the house, something that already bruised her pride deeply.But today,today was much worse. She had avoided social media for two days after the humiliation at the lounge, unable to bear the mockery and criticism online. But the moment she finally opened the internet again the very first thing she saw was a video of Jeff begging Ava publicly at the restaurant. And standing beside Ava was Elias protecting her and Declaring her as his wife in front of everyone.The image alone made Clara feel like she was going insane.“How dare she?!” She threw her phone angrily onto the couch as she shouted.Rose, who sat nearby trying to remain calm, sighed softly.“Clara...”“No!” Clara turned sharply, rage burning in her eyes. “She ruined everything!” Her chest rose heavily with emotion.“She took Jeff from me completely!”R

Chapter: chapter forty six The ride back home was completely silent. Only the soft sound of the car engine filled the atmosphere as the city lights flashed past the windows. Ava sat quietly by the side, staring outside absentmindedly but her mind was far from calm. The scene at the restaurant replayed repeatedly in her head.The way Elias had stormed in and the anger in his voic,the way he defended her in front of everyone without hesitation And most especially,the way he called her his wife not once but repeatedly.Ava tightened her fingers slightly on her lap. She couldn't understand him. One moment he acted cold and distant the next moment he looked ready to destroy anyone who hurt her. It was confusing.Beside her, Elias remained quiet as he drove but unlike his usual composed self, his thoughts were restless. Even now, he still felt irritated remembering Jeff standing in front of Ava begging her,looking at her like he still had a chance.His grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly as The though

Chapter: chapter eight Roy drove silently through the dark streets, his hands steady on the steering wheel while the city lights flashed past the tinted windows of the black SUV. Kimmy sat quietly in the backseat beside her mother, her mind was still struggling to process everything that had happened at the hospital. She could still hear the gunshots and the screaming, Her entire body still trembled slightly from the shock.Beside her, Mara sat stiffly against the seat, clutching the edge of her hospital blanket tightly in her frail hands. Her face was pale and her eyes were distant and shaken, She looked completely lost. Kimmy’s chest tightened painfully at the sight,This was too much for her mother.Mara slowly turned toward her.“Kimmy…” her voice came out weak and uncertain. “Who were those men?”Kimmy froze sge had been dreading that question. How was she supposed to explain any of this? That she had somehow gotten involved with dangerous mafia men and That armed gangs were now hunting them,That

Chapter: chapter seven Two days later, Kimmy stood behind the counter of the thrift store, pretending to arrange old books while her mind remained somewhere else entirely. She hadn’t stopped thinking about Gabriel West or his warning,or Roy's calm voice telling her she wasn't safe..For two whole days, she had tried convincing herself that maybe they were exaggerating. Maybe whoever attacked her had already moved on. Maybe if she just stayed quiet and lived carefully, everything would return to normal.But deep down, fear sat heavily in her chest.She checked the wall clock for what felt like the tenth time that hour.5:15 PM.She needed to get to the hospital. Her mother had sounded weak on the phone earlier, and Kimmy hated leaving her there alone. She quickly closed the register and walked to her boss.“ Mrs Nora, please can I close early today? My mother’s at the hospital and I need to check on her.”Mrs Nora looked up from her newspaper and sighed, “You’ve been distracted all day, Kimmy. Go. Just

Chapter: chapter six Kimmy walked out of of the building with heavy steps, her heart pounding so loudly it felt like it might burst through her chest. The coldness in his voice still echoed in her ears.Stay here and live… or leave and deal with the consequences yourself.That was what he had told her. He showed no sympathy or even try to persuade her,just cold options which she had refused. Now as she walked out of the cold and empty building,she began to reconsider her choices. Had she made the wrong decision?.Her hands trembled slightly as she hugged herself. Everything had happened too fast. Just two days ago, she was worrying about hospital bills and her mother’s treatment. Now she was somehow tangled in the dangerous world of Gabriel West,the most feared mafia boss in the city.It all felt so unreal.She stepped outside the building and inhaled deeply, the air hitting her face. Everywhere was quiet now,there was no one around as Gabriel left with his men.Kimmy looked around helplessly,she

Chapter: chapter five Kimmy was still in shock,she was trying to comprehend everything she just said. It didn't make sense to her. What was a man like Gabriel doing in that area far away from the city,but she didn't dare to ask. Her suspicion has now become true,he was a mafia but not any mafia, the devil's son. Now her life was in danger because she helped him. Kimmy wanted to cry but there was no tears left,besides crying was not going to help her now. She looked at Gabriel as if begging for her life." I..I didn't know who you were.. I'm sorry for helping you. I promise I won't tell anyone about our encounter,but please can you let me out of this?" Kimmy asked him, pleading for her life." Little girl,you don't seem to understand the situation.. I'm not the one who want you dead,you haven't done anything to me yet to make me kill you...but the people who saw you with me want you." Gabriel said as he stared down at her." If they eventually capture you,they would torture you to give them inform

Chapter: chapter four They drove towards the outskirts of the city to what looked like an abandoned house. This further proved Kimmy's suspicion. She immediately let her guard up as the car stopped in front of the house." Where are we?" She asked the man as she looked around her surroundings. They were in the middle of nowhere,the house was surrounded with grassess and there was no sight of any other house in that area. Kimmy had a bad feeling about this. The man got down from the car and began to walk towards the building without looking back at her, Kimmy had no choice than to run after to follow him. Inside the building, Gabriel was seated on a wooden chair seething with rage,he exuded a dangerous aura that made the atmosphere around him cold. His subordinate all stood at the side bowing their head in fear." So none of you could find the gang behind this...you all are useless. I have to do everything myself." Gabriel roared in anger making everyone around to shrink back in fear. He pu

Chapter: chapter three In the morning of the next day, Kimmy was in a hurry to get to work. She had barely up to thirty minutes to get to work,she had already been late to work twice this week already and didn't want to be late again today. Kimmy could already imagine the angry face of Mrs Nora standing at the entrance of the shop. She hurriedly ate her breakfast and ran out of the house,she didn't even stop to respond to her neighbours greetings. The only thought on her mind now was to get to work on time,all order things were secondary to her, including the incident that happened the previous day which she seemed to have forgotten. She was half running and walking to the store which was a thirty minutes walk from her house, Kimmy didn't have enough money to enter a cab cause all the money she had have been spent on her mother's treatment so she had no choice than to run along. She decided to take the route down the alley, pushing back the fear that rose when she remembered the event that
