[Elara]

“You did great today,” he whispers into my ear, his calm yet husky voice sending a gentle shiver down my spine.

I bite my lip, smiling lightly. “It was alright, I guess.”

He pulls back a little, placing his hands on my shoulders. He turns me around, lowering himself so we are at the same eye level. “Didn’t we talk about this? No more hiding.”

I swallow again, looking away briefly. “I’m not. I just don’t think I did it alone.”

“Of course you didn’t do it alone,” he says gently. “No one e

  • After My Last Breath   Chapter 229

    I cannot help but stare at his retreating back.Old memories snapping back before my eyes.It’s not the first time he’s turned his back on me, assuming I can’t manage without him. And I’m not surprised he’s doing the same thing again, believing once more that I’m bound to get into trouble if he isn’t there to rescue me.But what he’s forgetting is that I didn’t need his help then, and I certainly don’t need it now.Still, I can’t help but feel disappointed.Disappointed in myself for falling for a man like him—a coward who only knows how to look down on others and nothing more.“It’s a pity, you know?” Comes from behind me. I don’t have to turn to see to whom that voice and those words belong. Griffin appears next to me, humming softly. “If he had even a little bit of brain, he could have used this opportunity to win you over. He could have proved he was actually worth trusting. But he blew it. Again. Pathetic, don’t you think?”I chuckle, shaking my head. “Pathetic, indeed. But then

    [Elara] I can only smile at Beatrice’s words. Why? Because the time when she would have nothing more to say is just around the corner. Seeing my smile, however, she only grows more annoyed. “You really have no shame, do you? Here I am, telling you to have some dignity and get the fuck out of here before you say or do anything to embarrass yourself—and us— you have the audacity to smile at my face? What kind of stupidity is this?” The urge to smile even wider is ridiculous, but I try to get a hold of myself. I sigh instead. “What’s wrong with smiling? Anyone having a good day has every right to express how they feel. Isn’t that right, Damon?” “Elara—” Damon tries to intervene, but Beatrice cuts him off once more. “Don’t talk to him. Talk to me. I’m the one who decides what’s right and wrong. And I clearly just asked you to get the hell out of here, didn’t I?” “You did,” I say, nodding slowly. “But that’s the thing, Beatrice. I’m not obligated to do as you say. Let me remind you,

  • After My Last Breath   Chapter 227

    [Damon] A round of applause fills the room, but all I feel is a gnawing sense of dread. What have we just done? Mom stands, her body shaking with what I assume to be excitement or fear. Maybe both. I grab her arm. “Mom, are you insane? We just bid the entire Blackwood estate on a fifty-fifty chance!” She looks at me, her eyes blazing with something I can’t quite place. “It was worth it, Damon. We’re going to save the company. We’re going to be the most powerful people in the world.” Before I can say anything else, the auctioneer turns his attention to the vials. “Congratulations to the winners,” he says, gesturing toward the second vial. “Now, let’s have our bids for Vial B.” The room buzzes again, but this time, I barely hear it. I just can’t—I can’t believe we just gambled everything on a guess. And if we’re wrong…dammit! I shake my head, forcing myself to focus. “Mom, what if we chose wrong? What if the real one was B?” She doesn’t answer. Instead, she watches as the biddi

  • After My Last Breath   Chapter 226

    [Elara] "Do you think I'm being cruel?" I ask, my voice barely a whisper as I watch everything go down at the auction from the privacy of a glass cabin. Griffin, standing next to me with his hands tucked into his pockets, doesn't even flinch. "Of course, not. This is what they owe you—what they owe Vera. This is justice, through and through. It might not look pretty, but sometimes justice isn't." I nod, my eyes locked on Damon and his mother as they anxiously watch the auctioner reveal the two vials before everyone. One contains the Miracle drug—the real deal. The other? A dangerous poison that should not even exist. "You think they'll bite? Or will they chicken out?" Griffin smirks, his gaze shifting to me. "Oh, they'll bite. People like them always do when desperation kicks in. Especially Beatrice. She'd sell her soul if it meant saving her precious little company." And something tells me, he couldn't be more right. ---- [Damon] The auctioneer places both vials on

    I nod, glancing at Mom. She looks calm, but I know she’s just as nervous as I am.The first item is brought out—a chemical solution that, according to the auctioneer, can instantly improve physical strength and agility for up to three hours.The bidding starts, and within minutes, the price skyrockets.Mom doesn’t even flinch. She keeps her eyes on the stage, her mind clearly focused on something bigger. Something that will actually make a difference for us.The next few items are just as outrageous—experimental drugs, exotic minerals, even classified documents stolen from government facilities.But none of them catches Mom’s attention.Until the final item is announced.“And now…” the auctioneer grins, his whole face glow

    [Damon]“This is it!” Mom says, breathing a little louder and straightening her spine even more. “Remember, stick to the plan. No distractions. And do not, under any circumstances, draw attention to yourself. This is our final chance, Damon. We make it or not, all depends on how we handle this night.”I nod, realizing rather quickly how long it’s been since I’ve seen Mom this nervous.Then again, this isn’t just any event.It’s the Dark Knights—an event that shouldn’t even exist in the first place, and yet it does. All because people with money are constantly looking for something new to indulge in, while others, like us, are desperate enough to put their principles on the line to survive this cruel business world.I give her a nod, and soon we step out of the car together. The moment I walk onto the grand steps leading up to the auction house, I feel it: the tension, the power, the danger.It’s all around us.Men and women in expensive suits and gowns walk past us, their faces either

    For a full two minutes, I sit frozen in my seat.“Damon? Damon? Can you hear me? Damon!”I jerk awake, blinking too hard—too fast—trying to make sure this is real. I look around, searching for even the smallest hint that this is nothing but a nightmare.But the moment my eyes land on Hannah, my hea

    I’m about to knock when another thought occurs to me.What if… what if they’re already asleep?It is kind of late to disturb someone in the middle of the night, isn’t it?I step back, letting out a sigh.“It’s okay,” I say to myself. “Just a few more hours, and then I’ll finally be able to see her.”

    [Damon]By the time I make it back home, it’s already noon.Lost in my own head, I don’t even realize when I bump into someone.I pull back to focus on the person standing in front of me and realize it’s Johnson, my grandparents’ bodyguard and driver.Before I can say anything, he opens his mouth.
