Chapter: Chapter One hundred-Thirty-Three A resounding clap echoed through the room as Charles applauded Alexander, his tone dripping with sarcasm."Wow!... I guess I underestimated your girl then... hmmm, you're one lucky man, Alexander," Charles taunted."It took your lover just a few minutes to discover who I really was when I drove her to her destination, but you dummies, despite spending years with me..." Charles paused for effect before continuing sharply, "...didn't have a clue."He then shifted his attention to Harriet, offering a bright smile. "Great acting, Grandma... you truly deserve an Oscar," he mocked.Charles clapped his hands, turning his attention to everyone in the room. "All of this is well planned, but I must mention that if these men were to take me away now..."He left the sentence hanging, his gaze fixed on the SWAT teams whose weapons and attention remained firmly trained on his every move.He continued with a chilling threat, "Your dear Camilla and my dear aunt's husband, Uncle Rey, would die," makin

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred-Thirty-Two•~•~•~•~•Flashback•~•~•~•~•As Alexander returned to his hotel suite that fateful night, a whirlwind of emotions consumed him. He sat on the edge of the bed, his thoughts in disarray.How was he going to rescue Camilla?How would he even begin to break the devastating news of her disappearance to her parents?His hands instinctively rose to his hair, ruffling it in frustration, and he hung his head low in despair.Amidst the tears glistening in his beautiful blue eyes, he noticed a purple, sparkling device on the floor. His mind raced as he realized it was Camilla's phone.Slowly, Alexander reached out and picked up the device, a face-down iPhone. He turned it over to reveal the blank screen.With a soft double-tap, the phone came to life, prompting him for a passcode.Without hesitation, he input the code, granting access to the phone's contents. What he saw on the interface not only shocked him but sent chills down his spine."Alexander, it's urgent. You need to know that Charles

"You are here?" Charles furrowed his brow."Yes, I just arrived. Doctor... How is my grandmother?" he inquired, his gaze shifting from the woman to the room beyond her.She glanced briefly over her shoulder, then turned back to face him."She's stable at the moment," the doctor said, her voice composed and professional."However, we need

"I can't do this."The shadowy figure behind him persisted, his voice barely above a whisper. "Do it, Charles. You know you want to. End her life quickly and painlessly. It won't take more than a second.""I can't," Charles whispered, his voice choked with emotion. "I can't kill her.""If you don't pull the trigger, I'll do it myself," the menacing figure threatened from the darkness, causing Mary to shake her head vehemently and sob louder than before."No, Charles, don't listen...to him. You love me. You won't...kill me. You don't have to." She said in between hiccups and gut-wrenching sobs.Charles's breaths were ragged as he shook his head, tears streaming down his cheeks as

The room felt oppressive, the atmosphere charged with an eerie energy.Tears welled up in Charles's eyes as he continued to laugh, his grip tightening on Camilla's arm. "Oh, the look on her face when I took her last breath," he rasped, his voice laced with sadistic delight.Camilla's mind raced, the gravity of the situation sinking in.

You trust me, don’t you?” He sighed, brushing his thumb over the back of her hand. “Of course, I do. I just don’t like the idea of you there alone with him.” Although Eric had accepted Adina’s grandmother’s wish and reassured her of his support throughout the pregnancy, he still felt unease about Adina meeting Ryan alone.He

He was in a good mood.A victorious mood.Across from him, Sebastian Storm—his best friend since junior high and now his lawyer—sat with an amused smirk, one leg lazily crossed over the other.“So let me get this straight…” Sebastian said, rubbing his jaw. “Adina—the same girl who dumped you six years ago—just so happened to get accidentally inseminated with your sperm, and instead of walking away, you actually want her to keep the baby?”Ryan flicked the stress ball in the air, catching it with ease. “You make it sound ridiculous when you say it like that.”Sebastian leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. His eyes gleamed—part disbelief, part wicked amusement. “Oh, it’s ridicul

Which, in a way, she did—considering the Crown mansion had been her wedding gift to Eric and Adina.Despite her seventy years of life, there was no hesitation in her stride. She moved with the poise of a queen, her very presence commanding the air.By her side stood Jeremy Woods, her personal assistant of nearly fifteen years—loyal as ever. And beside him, Caleb West, friend to Dominic and her late son and also the King Group’s legal director.The air in the room shifted instantly.Adina and Eric sprang to their feet, their expressions frozen in shock. They had all agreed to keep the news from her—so how had she found out?Tension crackled in the silence.Dominic, however, remained seated, his face unreadable.Mabel, ever the strategist, was the first to recover.

Chapter: Ch-4That evening…The silence in the Crown mansion was thick. Too thick.Then—BANG!Eric’s fist crashed against the polished mahogany table, the sharp sound cutting through the stillness like a gunshot.“That fucking bastard!” His voice thundered through the suite, ricocheting off the high ceilings. “He actually thinks he can demand that my wife bear his child—or he’ll sue?!”His breath came in sharp, uneven bursts, his entire body vibrating with restrained fury. “Who the hell does he think he is? Just because Forbes slapped his name on one of the young billionaire lists, he thinks that erases the fact that he used to be a lowlife?”Across the table, Dominic Harrington barely flinched. The older man simply leaned back in his chair, fingers tapping against the cushions in a slow, deliberate rhythm. His gaze flicked to his wife, Mabel.She looked just as furious. But unlike Eric, she wasn’t pacing—she was calculating. And her silence was just as dangerous as his rage.Finally, Dominic let ou

Clawed at hope even when it felt impossible.And now—finally—it was here.She was pregnant.Her hands trembled as she clutched the test results, her breath unsteady.A lump formed in her throat, thick and overwhelming, as tears burned the back of her eyes.A shaky laugh bubbled from her lips as she turned to her husband, Eric Harrington, “I told you,” she whispered, her voice breathless, her eyes gleaming.For the first time since the IVF procedure, Eric smiled—a real smile, wide and unguarded.It had taken his mother’s relentless insistence to push him into this process, but now, seeing the proof before him, a wave of relief crashed over him.“You did,” he murmured.

I turned.Shoshanna stood at the entrance, head tilted slightly. “Hi.”I blinked. “Hi?”“Can I come in?” she asked, the corners of her lips lifting into a smile that, surprisingly, seemed real.“Sure,” I said softly.She stepped in, eyes scanning me from head to toe. “You look beautiful.”“Thank you.”Silence. The kind that stretches just a second too long. I wasn’t sure what this was.My mind reeled. Why is she here?To throw jabs because I was marrying Aziel? Because I was the reason they ended things a year ago?Shoshanna let out a quiet breath. “I’ll be honest with you.”I crossed my arms. “Honest about what?”She let out a short, dry laugh and motioned between us. “From ex-fiancée to almost-wife… You’re one lucky girl, Solane.

Her gaze narrowed when she saw the man on the other side of the glass dressed entirely in black, a face mask covering the lower half of his face, and a cap pulled low enough to cast a shadow over his eyes.She tilted her head slightly, trying to get a better look beneath the cap. Still nothing.Reaching for the phone, she lifted it to her ear. “Who are you? Did my lawyer send you?”The man picked up the receiver on his side, his voice muffled but clear. “James didn’t send me. So why don’t you take a wild guess who I am?”Melissa’s lips tightened. “You think this is funny? You think you can just show up, visit some random person in prison, and play guessing games with them?”“But you’re not some random person,” he said, a mocking edge in his voice. “You’re Melissa Grant.”She froz
