Damian returned, calm, carrying a sleek black pistol. He set it on the coffee table in front of Liam with deliberate care, placing it so that Liam could reach it without standing. Liam’s eyes flicked briefly to the weapon, dark and unblinking, then returned to Kelvin, whose face had gone pale, sweat beading at his temples.

Liam’s expression was a mask of controlled fury, every muscle in his jaw tight, nostrils flaring ever so slightly. His eyes, sharp and cold, pierced Kelvin’s hesitation, reading the fear before a single word was spoken. There was a calmness in Liam that was almost unnerving, as if the storm around him had no power to touch the eye he had become.

“Now, you’re going to tell me everything. No lies. No half-truths. Who else is involved, and what’s their plan?” Liam said, voice even but laced with a lethal undertone that made Kelvin flinch. The calmness of his tone belied the intensity in his gaze, which could strip a man bare.

Kelvin nodded rapidly, swallowing hard,

    FLASHBACK Sidney stood in Heinrich’s study, hands wringing against each other, her voice trembling. “Heinrich… please. Let him out. It’s been three days. He hasn’t eaten, he hasn’t spoken—he’ll collapse if this continues.” Heinrich didn’t look up from the documents on his desk. “He will be released,” he said coldly, “after that girl marries.” Sidney’s breath caught. “You can’t… You can’t let Cassie’s life be ruined. Noah—he’s—” “Don’t.” Heinrich’s voice cracked like a whip. He lifted his head, eyes sharp. “Did I not warn you never to mention her name in this house again? Are you trying to join your son in that cell?” Sidney’s lips clamped shut. She couldn’t speak. She couldn’t even breathe properly. She turned away, tears burning her eyes, because no matter how she begged, Heinrich would not move. --- Inside the locked room, Liam lay on the cold floor, weak, dizzy, his head pounding. He heard footsteps. Then the metallic click of keys. His eyes snapped open a

    Kelvin’s voice was sharp, almost slicing through the silence. “Jude… where is Jake?” “Your brother? He’s sleeping beside me.” Kelvin’s hand tightened around his phone. “How many times have I told him not to let you pick up his calls?” “Come on, dude,” Jude protested, sitting up. “I’m typically your family—I’m your brother’s boyfriend!” “I don’t care what you are,” Kelvin shot back, teeth gritted, “but don’t ever answer my calls again or you will be sorry!” Before Jude could reply, Kelvin slammed the phone down, ending the call abruptly. He turned sharply, only to freeze as Damian’s figure loomed in the doorway. “Damian!…” Kelvin started, panic threading his voice. “What, did I scare you, little brother?!” Damian said casually, a faint smirk curling his lips. His eyes, however, were sharp, reading Kelvin like an open book. Kelvin panted, trying to regain composure. “Since when… have you been by the door?” “Long enough to hear everything you reported,” Damian said coo

    “Liam… so you married your—” Liam’s head snapped toward him, eyes dark, jaw tight. “Shut up and go to your room!” he barked, the command final and dangerous. Kelvin froze mid-sentence, the smirk on his face faltering for the first time as he stared at the intensity in Liam’s glare. Tatiana’s suspicions quietly pricked at her mind. What was Kelvin going to say? she wondered, her gaze flicking between the two men. And why did Liam stop him so abruptly? Tatiana watched Liam carefully. Her heart raced. She knew pieces of the puzzle, yes—but she hadn’t seen the full picture. She had made an unspoken deal with Liam, a promise to respect boundaries. Yet her curiosity was now tugging at her, relentless and dangerous. She wanted answers—but she knew there were some things she could not ask. Not now. Kelvin, however, was not one to be completely deterred. He gave a slow, deliberate smirk, leaning back as if he had conceded nothing. His tone was snobbish, almost taunting as he sp

    Selena felt the world tilt. Her breath hitched. Her fingers loosened from the table, then clenched back again. She looked at the reporter as if he had just stabbed her in the chest with her own secrets. “So, Mrs Michelle… given all these circumstances, the timing of her death, your marriage to Mr Michelle, and now this resemblance…” He smirked, “It is safe to say jealousy was the reason you attacked Mrs Ratford, right?” The room exploded. Not with sound—no, the sound came a half-second later. But first came the shock. Every face turned toward Selena—hungry, curious, unforgiving. Cameras fired like artillery. They whispered fiercely, elbowing each other. One shouted, “Is that why you hurt Mrs Ratford?!” Another, “Did you feel threatened by her?” The hall was filled with chaos. Selena’s entire body trembled uncontrollably now. Her mascara flickered with moisture she tried desperately to hold back. She bit her lower lip until it blanched, fighting the panic rising in her che

  • A Wife For Seven Days    Chapter 163

    The media hall of the company headquarters buzzed with restless energy long before the conference began. Dozens of reporters filled the rows, cameras mounted on tripods, microphones extended like hungry claws waiting for a scandal to devour. The place smelled of freshly polished floors, camera heat, and tension—thick, unbreathable tension. Selena sat in the back room, makeup artists finishing the last touches on her face. Her hands kept rubbing against each other, palms damp, fingers trembling. She had practised the apology over twenty times since dawn, but the words still tasted bitter in her mouth. Humiliation clung to her like a second skin. A PR officer approached her. “We start in two minutes, Mrs Michelle. Everything is set.” Selena inhaled sharply, nodding. Her eyes darted toward the side door where Freda stood, arms crossed, expression unreadable. Freda didn’t offer comfort. She was here strictly as company support—not personal. Freda adjusted the brooch on Selena’
