He stopped, turned halfway toward me, and then looked back at the screen. Simon was doubling down, laying the groundwork for what would come next; moral outrage, clamoring for interviews, Alexander's name shooting up in the search engine.

It would be a perfect storm.

Conrad didn’t sit despite my command. Instead, he shook his head, his expression devoid of the pleasure I was trying to contain. “This is too far.”

“Too far?” I echoed, my tone cold and sharp enough to slice. “That little video of Susanna’s insipid sister was too far. What Simon is doing is damage control. Would you rather we stay silent and let Alexander twist this narrative in his favor?”

He didn’t answer immediately, but his expression, reeking of distress was, answer enough. I wasn't surprised when he said, 'But the video wasn't traced back to Alexander, was it? There's no proof he was the one who leaked it.'

I sighed before lifting my cup to my lips again. I didn’t understand it. Why did my son hesitate no

  • Abandoned by Ex, Married to His CEO Brother   Chapter 202

    ConradI woke up with my head pounding like it had been caught between two clashing cymbals. My mouth was dry, my throat was scratchy, and the bitter taste of last night’s whiskey still coated my tongue. I blinked against the morning light slipping through the blinds, not yet ready to sit up but too uncomfortable to keep lying down.It took me a few seconds to remember why I had drunk myself into a stupor the night before. But once the memory came, it came in full, unforgiving force; the memory of my mother, her eyes gleaming with veiled threat, her words sharp and smug as she told me that this entire farce, this war she was insistent on waging against Alexander now, was for my own good.That was what enraged me the most, even now, more than forty eight hours after she had spoken them. Those words, for my own good, as if I didn’t already know what was at stake. As if I was some blundering idiot unaware of how legacies worked, or how delicate my position in the Remington family could b

    MarcelineI watched Conrad wrestle internally with himself, pleased with the effect of my words. I could see him becoming angry, and that was a good thing because anger was useful. It meant he still cared, and anger was an emotion that could be shaped. He would play his part, and I would see to it that the world watched every step of the way. It was time to let him know the second phase of my plan that had started with Simon's media conference.“It’s time to turn on Alexander. Publicly,” I said, drawing my son's attention back to me. "Both of them, actually."Conrad blinked, staring at me. I didn’t care for the look; it made him look slow. "Both of whom?" “Alexander, obviously,” I continued, taking care not to sound irritated, “but also Abigail. I've had it all sorted out. You’ll be both the wounded husband and the betrayed brother, two perfect archetypes in one clean image. People will eat it up. Nobody will have anything negative to say towards a man who had been the victim of two

    Marceline The flat-screen television flickered with vibrant color, displaying the crisp image of a crowded press conference already in motion. I sat inside my ornate office adorned with marble accents and velvet furnishings, listening attentively to the hum of eager voices echoed faintly through the speakers standing at either side of the TV. The camera focused on a thin, mustached man approaching the podium—Simon Hughes, one of my lawyers dressed in a navy blue bespoke suit, his posture erect and calm as he walked under the stark glare of the lights. Flashes burst from cameras the moment Simon appeared from somewhere to the left, casting sharp flickers across his carefully neutral face. Reporters pushed forward slightly, extending their microphones like weapons as they shouted over one another, all wanting the same thing; to catch Simon's attention, if only for a second. “Mr. Hughes! Can you confirm if Marceline Remington truly partnered with Casillas in illicit deals involvin

    LilianaHarry said nothing. Instead, he turned and walked to his backpack, crouching beside it as he rifled through the contents. I tried again to push myself up, but my body wouldn’t cooperate. I was too dizzy, I watched him pull out a large plastic container, orange and square shaped, the kind used for cleaning fluid or motor oil. My stomach twisted with dread. “No,” I whispered. He returned to my side, the container in hand, and looked down at me with the same awful calm. “You are my mom,” he said plainly. “So why are you surprised?” He unscrewed the cap slowly, like he wasn’t in a hurry. “I’m just doing what you always did; what’s best for me.” The moment the scent hit my nose, I knew what he was holding, gasoline. “No,” I gasped, louder this time. “Harry. Harry, please—” But he tipped the container, and the cold, pungent liquid spilled over my head. It soaked into my scalp, streamed down my face and neck, making me sputter and choke. The stench was overwhelming. I screamed,

    LilianaSeveral minutes had passed since Harry cut the call, but I kept scanning the sidewalk, anxious and alert, half expecting him to change his mind and never show. But then, I was someone approaching in the distance. A familiar figure jogged up the block, his head bowed slightly, and his hair tousled in that disheveled way of his that always made me want to fix it. My baby looked so young, too young to be carrying the weight of all this, yet there he was, moving fast towards me. And on his back was his school bag, the same one I had tripped on a dozen times when he carelessly left in in the doorway the moment he got home.I stared at that bag with something warm and painful curling in my chest. He had packed it. Even without me there guiding him, he’d thought ahead. He was a survivor.I moved toward him, barely able to keep the tremble out of my legs as I reached for him. “Harry,” I breathed, relief thick in my voice as I pulled him into my arms. I crushed him against me, wrappin
