Chapter: Chapter 132The Truth Unfolds Lana’s POV I sat in the living room, the weight of everything pressing down on me like a heavy blanket. My mind spun with all the revelations from the past few days—Leo’s betrayal, Sarah’s twisted games, and the danger we were all in. It felt like the walls were closing in on me, and I had no idea who to trust anymore. Donovan stood by the window, his face unreadable as he stared out into the night. The silence between us was thick, and I knew there was more he hadn’t told me yet. I could feel it in the air, a tension that seemed to tighten with every passing second. Finally, he spoke, his voice low and strained. "Lana, there’s something I need to tell you. Something I should have told you a long time ago." I looked up at him, my heart pounding. "What is it, Donovan? I don’t think I can handle any more surprises." He turned to face me, his eyes filled with a mix of guilt and determination. "Remember when we thought I couldn’t have children? When we believed I w

Chapter: Chapter 131Truth Lana’s POV My hands shook as I stood over the knife, my heart pounding. The air felt thick with tension, and I could hardly breathe. Leo was still wrestling with the stranger on the floor, and I knew I had to act fast. “Get off him!” I shouted, hoping to break through the chaos. Leo glanced up, his face smeared with sweat and determination. “Lana, I can handle this! Just—” But before he could finish, the stranger threw him to the side. Leo hit the wall with a loud thud, and I winced at the sound. “Now, where were we?” the man said, grinning menacingly. I tightened my grip on the knife, trying to steady my racing thoughts. Who was this guy? Why had he come here? “Get away from him!” I yelled, stepping forward, ready to protect Leo at all costs. The man turned his gaze toward me, his smile widening. “You think you can stop me? You don’t even know what’s happening here.” “What are you talking about?” I snapped. He straightened up, brushing off his clothes like he

Chapter: Chapter 130The Storm Lana’s POV My heart raced as I looked from Donovan to Leo, who was blocking our only way out. The air was thick with tension, and the darkness felt like it was closing in on me. I had never been so terrified in my life. “Lana, listen to me!” Donovan said urgently, his eyes fixed on me. “We can’t let him get to you. We need to stick together.” “Together?” Leo sneered, stepping forward. “Do you think that will save you? You’re both just pawns in my game.” “What game?” I shot back, trying to keep my voice steady. “What do you want?” Leo grinned, but there was no warmth in it. “I want everything. You, Lana. Your trust. Your love. I want to destroy Donovan, and you’re the key to making that happen.” I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. How had I misjudged him so completely? I had thought Leo was my ally, someone I could trust, but now he was showing a dark side I had never seen before. “Lana, don’t listen to him!” Donovan shouted, stepping protectively in front of me. “

Chapter: Chapter 129All Lies Lana’s POV The night was thick with tension, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were being watched. Sarah and I sat in the dim light of the cabin, huddled together as we planned our next move against Donovan. I tried to focus, but my mind kept drifting back to the shadow I had seen outside. “Lana, are you even listening?” Sarah’s voice cut through my thoughts. “Sorry, I just…” I hesitated, trying to find the right words. “I keep thinking about Donovan. What if he is coming for us?” Sarah rolled her eyes, irritation flashing across her face. “Donovan is a monster. He will do anything to get to you. We need to stay focused.” As she spoke, I felt a knot tightening in my stomach. Something didn’t feel right. The more I thought about it, the more I began to question Sarah’s intentions. Was she really on my side, or was she just trying to protect herself? Suddenly, the front door creaked open, and a figure stepped inside. My heart raced as I turned, ready to confront

Chapter: Chapter 128Unexpected Lana’s POV The days following Donovan’s death—if it was even that—were a blur. I felt like I was trapped in a nightmare, each moment dragging on as I tried to process everything that had happened. Leo was gone. The thought crushed me. I could still hear his voice, his laughter, and his promises echoing in my mind. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the wall, my heart heavy with grief. Leo had fought for me. He had given everything to protect me, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had failed him. I should have been there. I should have done something more. “Lana, are you okay?” Caroline’s voice broke through my thoughts. She stood in the doorway, concern etched on her face. I forced a smile, but it felt hollow. “Yeah, just thinking.” “Thinking about Leo?” she asked gently, stepping closer. I nodded, tears welling in my eyes. “I can’t believe he’s gone. He didn’t deserve this.” “I know,” Caroline said, sitting beside me. “He loved you, Lana. And you loved

Chapter: Chapter 127The Truth UnveiledLana’s POVThe chaos in the cabin was overwhelming. I felt my heart racing as Donovan’s men stormed in, and I barely had time to process what was happening. The air was thick with tension, and I could hear the sound of fists hitting flesh, shouts of anger, and the shattering of furniture. I had to focus. I had to protect Sarah.“Sarah!” I yelled, scanning the room for her. She was pressed against the wall, eyes wide with fear. “Lana, get out!” she shouted, her voice trembling. “They’re going to hurt you!”I pushed through the crowd, trying to reach her. But just then, Leo stepped in front of me, brandishing an axe with fierce determination. “Stay back!” he warned, ready to defend us. Suddenly, I heard Donovan’s laugh cut through the chaos. “You think you can save her, Leo?” His voice dripped with mockery. “You’re out of your league!”Without warning, a loud crash reverberated through the cabin as the front door burst open. Donovan stood there, a twisted smile on

Chapter: Chapter 118AdmirerAdrian's POV"I'm sorry but I want a divorce" Those words stung me so deeply.The urge to rip her into shreds was great.A divorce?We had been together for months. Wasn't the period enough for her to grow feelings for me?The thought of the answer being negative fueled my anger."I'd rather lock you up in a cell than let you leave" I yelled, letting it all out.Over my rotten corpse.She looked at me with fear in her widened eyes. Guilt rose in my heart but it was only for a moment."Your reasons are just an excuse. Try again" I added, snorting.A tear fell down her cheek. "I have the right to decide what I want for myself" She retorted, her voice trembling."But you can choose to go to jail" I shot back, struggling to remain calm. "You'd better listen to me."I couldn't dare to look into her bloodshot eyes, so I turned my back on her."Come downstairs for dinner after you're done freshening up" I ordered coldly. "Don't try to disobey me.”With that, I stormed out of the ro

Chapter: Chapter 117A DivorceLuisa's POV"I thought I'd lost you" His soft voice rang endlessly in my ears as we exited the building.I couldn't respond. Not because I wasn't as worried as he was but because I didn't know what to say.The warmth emanating from his arms gave me goosebumps. The feeling in my chest was scary."Let's go home" He whispered into my ear.It was then that I realized we had gotten to the car."What about Valerie?" I blurted out, hoping to meet his gaze.It held something dark. Something I couldn't phantom.He was unresponsive for a moment."She's right where she belongs," he finally replied, his smile dripping with malicious intent. Forget about her. You won't be seeing her again."I shivered at the sound of that, but he didn't seem open to more questions.I kept shut and followed his lead.We got into the car, sitting in the backseat. Javier sat behind the wheel.The ride was eerily silent. I guessed everyone was engrossed in their thoughts.Who would have thought the party wou

Chapter: Chapter 116Chapter 116: JealousyGeorge's POV"There's nothing here" Javier let out a deep scowl. "Are you playing with us right now?"I felt insulted. I wasn't going to let it slide."Ugh.. says who couldn't find his way out of a woman's grasp" I scoffed.Javier smirked, his eyes narrowed. "At least, I didn't try to sweet-talk her.""You....""They were here" Adrian cut me off, his cold voice commanding silence."Look at the bloodstains" He added, and my eyes followed his.My gaze fell on the trails of blood leading to a corner that led to God knows where."Tch.. that tech guy of yours is quite dumb. What if the enemies were after them?" I snarled, indirectly speaking to Adrian.It was quite rare to get the chance to throw shades at him.He didn't even spare me a glance."Let's follow it" He ordered, and led the way.*Tch.. very soon*I snorted inwardly, throwing daggers from behind.The trail of blood led us to a narrow pathway.I badly wanted to set my eyes on Luisa. She was the one I was afte

Chapter: Chapter 115A Life SavedLuisa's POV"He has lost a lot of blood" I cried, my bloodshot eyes fixed on the unconscious man lying in my arms."He's pale and cold" I added.James gritted his teeth, his face etched with frustration, and his fist clenched in rage."I can see that clearly," he snarled. It wouldn't make any difference if we all got blown up together with this building.""What?!" I exclaimed in shock, my eyes filled with disbelief.James shrugged. "We won't survive if the Big Boss and the Second Young Master fail. Their failure means our death. We would die with him."Fear gripped my body.Death?Oh, no way!I wasn't ready to die. Not when I had debts to settle."Isn't there a way we can treat him?" I questioned, ignoring the disgust on his face. "We need to stop him from losing more blood."James clicked his tongue, his eyes scanning the area."There should be but just know that if we get caught by Valerie's men again, she's going to end our lives" James declared bluntly.He must have f

Chapter: Chapter 114Shot deadAdrian's POV"Tch... You won't understand because you have never loved anyone in your life" I fired, frowning.I was sure my words had hit a soft spot, but I could apologize later.I got to the table and picked up the papers. I grabbed a pen as I scanned the paper. One thing was certain - signing the papers was like signing a death wish.The moment I tried to sign the paper, a familiar voice echoed."Why sign away our family's fortune when you could sign it over to me?" The voice snarled and my hands froze in mid-air.I recognized that voice."Huh...what are you doing here?" I heard Javier ask."I don't think I owe you an explanation. It's a public place after all" The intruder replied.I slowly tilted my head, my gaze falling on the man standing by the door.I wished I could wipe the stupid smirk off his face, but there were other things to worry about."Why are you here, George?" I asked coldly, watching his every move.He smirked. "It's good to see you like this. Instead

Chapter: Chapter 113Chapter 113: HelpGeorge's POV"Melinda, can you stay right here and wait for me? I'll be back before you know it" I assured the purple masked lady standing right beside me, smiling sheepishly.I scoffed inwardly, while maintaining a perfunctory smile. After trying so much to make her understand that she was just an escort, she still felt she was someone of importance to me.Well, no one should blame me just in case she cries because of a broken heart.Unfortunately, I didn't like plump ladies. Her lack of height also contributed to the problem. Her blue eyes were attractive, but I only saw her as a cute baby.She fiddled with strands of her blonde hair as she stared at me seductively.I sighed deeply, wondering how I ended up choosing her instead of hiring a real escort. Probably because she was my assistant and someone I could trust to have my back at the masquerade ball.The main purpose of my attendance was to keep an eye on Luisa and Adrian. The fact that my dear brother chose he
