After My Last Breath Chapter 228
[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, in cas
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…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 bidding for Vial B be

[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, my love. 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 in his hands.One contains the Miracle drug—the real deal. The other? A dangerous poison that should not even exist. And both are sitting on a table, looking exactly the same."You think they'll bite? Or will they chicken out?" I ask, unable to help myself. Even though I know the answer, I still want to hear it.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 litt

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

[Damon]After checking up on Elara, I return to the old Blackwood manor.Mom called several times after I dropped her back at the manor and took off to find Elara.I just wanted to make sure she was fine. And she sounded fine, if not completely off.She said she was tired, but her breathing sounded as if she had been working out.Or maybe that’s just me overthinking. I’ve been doing that a lot ever since those cops showed up at my door to inform me of Elara and Cora’s deaths. I can’t seem to trust anything, especially myself.When I step inside, I find Mom and Dad in the living room, sitting in complete silence.Mom is the fi

[Elara]The next day, while Gwen is looking after Cora, I head back to St. Alden’s Medical University—the place where I once earned my degree.I knock on the door of Professor Grant. He has been one of the leading researchers in the field of cardiology for nearly a decade, and he was the one headin

[Elara]I stare at him, unable to believe my eyes.Of all the people who could have saved me… why did it have to be him?What the hell was he even doing in that area at this hour?Was it merely a coincidence?I think about it for a while and realize—it has to be. That’s the only explanation. Right?

[Elara]I dial Madam Blackwood.“What now?” she asks, already sounding annoyed.“Can you lend me a car? Damon left without me, and I didn’t bring mine.”She chuckles. “Looks like asking him for a divorce won’t be that big of a deal. He’s abandoning you already.”I can hear the sarcasm, and it only

[Elara]When I walk inside Cora’s ward, I find her already waking up.She looks confused at first, her gaze darting around the room—until her eyes land on me. Then, relief floods her tiny face.“Mommy,” she whispers, her voice so small and fragile it shatters me completely.“Hey, sweetheart.” I rush
