After the Second Sunrise Chapter 8
I never saw Chester again after that day.Taking over Larson Group catapulted me to the top as the youngest power broker in the criminal underworld.No longer just Ms. Larson, I was then the Larson family's true head.At the family council, Eric officially asked for my hand in marriage.…Three months later, in the chapel on Coralvento Island.Eric held my hand, his warmth seeping through the veil, his eyes filled with love and tenderness."Tania, you always put on a brave face, but I need you to know that your hidden vulnerabilities aren't your downfall. They're the precious treasures I vow to guard for a lifetime."I released Juliana's ashes into the international waters, and those who once conspired against you are now facing their demons in hell."His voice chilled for a moment, then softened, "Starting today, I'll be by your side forever, your unwavering support."Eric got down on one knee, presenting the expensive diamond ring he had custom-made."Tania, I love you.

On my birthday, the financial headlines blared with the news of Larson Group's utter ruin.Eric surprised me with 999 roses, renewing his declaration of love. I said yes, wrapped in the sweetness of the moment.However, then, the jarring ring of my phone cut through the air. The caller ID flashed the name of the defense attorney for Larson Group's remnants.I picked up the phone without much thought, figuring it was Chester trying to battle me for the last three New Cordova ports owned by Larson Group.Those smuggling routes were enough to make any crime family jealous."Ms. Larson, this isn't about a fight," the lawyer said carefully, "Mr. Kane wants you to know he's giving up all claims to the Larson inheritance, including the lifetime use of those ports. He's handing them over to you, no strings attached."I paused, my finger lingering on the table. "What's the catch?""Just one meeting, even if it's only a minute."We agreed to meet at the old restaurant we used to love. Ch

I watched the whole drama unfold on the casino's backstage monitors.Remembering the wild desperation in Chester's eyes, I failed to fight back a laugh.The moment he laid eyes on "Tania's" lifeless body, he was bound to lose it even more.Of course, what was the point of love that came too late? I mused."Seen enough?" Eric Hoffman locked eyes with me. "You shouldn't waste your gaze on garbage."In the depths of his eyes, I saw only my reflection. "Just observing the last pathetic flailing of a desperate fool. It won't be long before Larson Group's cash flow dries up, all thanks to you snagging those secret accounts from the international bank."Eric's laugh was a low rumble. "You promised me a shot at winning your heart. Consider this my down payment."Heat crept up my ears as I instinctively stepped back, only to be pulled into his steady embrace."Are you pleased with my gesture of devotion?"I nodded, letting myself lean into the comfort of his arms.He ruled San Henrico

In a fit of rage, Chester hurled his phone at Juliana's feet, the screen shattering on impact.The transaction records, however, were clear in Juliana's eyes: the payoffs she had sent to the gamblers.Juliana's face went ghostly white, rooted to the spot in terror."Couldn't you see your sister's life was at stake?" Chester's fury was on the verge of eclipsing his sanity, his eyes piercing Juliana with a chilling ferocity.Juliana burst into tears, her sobs heavy as they splashed onto his hand."It's not like that..."Seth's brow furrowed as he wrapped Juliana in a protective hug. "Chester, back off! Why are you attacking Juliana? She's done nothing wrong!"Chester scoffed, his fist bloodied, "Nothing wrong? Juliana, with 1.5 billion dollars in your bank, why didn't you settle the gambling debts? This whole mess is just a sick game you've been playing, right?"Juliana's eyes flickered with fear. "I... I don't know what you're talking about. That money... It's from investments,

As the car sped away from the casino, Chester frantically pulled out his phone and dialed the bank, his next move shrouded in mystery.Seth's hand shot out, gripping Chester's wrist. "Hold on a sec!"Chester jerked away, irritation lacing his voice. "Let go! Tania's in trouble. Every second counts!"Seth snorted dismissively. "Why the panic? Tania's been nothing but trouble for Juliana. Maybe it's time she learned her place."The casino is only after her cash, not her life. A few days to cool her heels might do her some good. When we get her out, she'll probably be a little more... agreeable."Chester paused as the words sank in. Ever since my rebirth, the way I had targeted Juliana and the coldness I had shown him at my mother's grave had been like thorns in his heart. Maybe this so-called 'lesson' was meant to make me obedient again, just like in our previous life.He hesitated, but then Juliana was there, her voice dripping with sweetness. "Don't fret, Chester. Dad's just spoi

As we headed to the casino, Chester sighed."I know. You were reborn, too."I laughed, but there was no humor in it."Reborn or not, what difference does it make? Are you going to start playing favorites now?""I'm sorry," he murmured, almost inaudible.I just shook my head, at a loss for words. "Chester, is that all you've got after all this time?"Out of nowhere, he pulled me close and kissed me senselessly."Tania," he whispered, his forehead resting gently against mine, his voice a solemn vow, "I promise, this is the last time you'll have to go through anything like this."We're just hitting the casino, dropping some cash to get your sister out of trouble. You'll be okay."And after that, I'll make you my wife. I'll spend every day making it up to you."I tried to smile, but my voice came out raspy."Chester, just one last question for you. Don't you see she's just playing us for attention?"Chester paused, his eyes darting away from mine. "I... I don't know."Not know
