MasukMy husband and my best friend had been using me from the beginning. They planned my marriage so they could take everything my father left behind. I discovered their betrayal and confronted my husband. Then the apocalypse came. While the world burned around us, I saved an injured stranger without knowing who he was. He was cold, ruthless, and terrifying, but he was also the only person who could keep my daughter and me alive. Five years later, I have become the Head of the Underworld’s Defense System, while the man I saved has become 001, the most feared commander in the new world. I thought my past was finally behind me. Until my ex-husband returned, desperate for my help to rise again. But I refused. He had destroyed my life once, and now I wanted him to pay for everything he had done. What I never expected was to discover that my new husband, the most powerful man in the Underworld, was my ex-husband’s stepbrother. Would he protect his own brother, or would he stand beside me and help me destroy him? Watch out!

Chapter 78 : A Challenge to His PositionVeyra’s POVI stood outside the sitting room with Zuri, wondering what the High Council wanted to discuss with Cairos that was so important they had come without informing him beforehand.When the oldest council member announced that Cairos’s position as 001 Commander was under review, I immediately became curious, but before I could ask any questions, they demanded that I leave with Zuri because their discussion was private.I did not like the way they had looked at me, as though my presence in Cairos’s home was an inconvenience, but I decided not to argue with them.“Come on, sweetheart, let’s go to our room,” I told Zuri, taking her hand.“Are we leaving Daddy here?” she asked, looking toward the closed door.“Yes, darling. He has something important to discuss with the visitors, so we’ll let him finish.”Zuri nodded and followed me down the hallway, but I stopped before we reached our room, unable to stop thinking about the council’s unexpe
Chapter Seventy Seven : The High CouncilVeyra’s POVI never thought I would see the day when Cairos would forget about his responsibilities long enough to sit on the floor and play with his daughter, especially since the man I knew rarely allowed anything to interfere with his work, but there he was, sitting across from Zuri with several small building blocks scattered between them while she explained, with great seriousness, why his tower was not nearly as good as the one she had built.“Daddy, you are doing it wrong again,” Zuri complained, taking one of the blocks from his hand before placing it on top of her own tower.Cairos looked at the little structure she had built, then glanced at the much taller one in front of him, which had already fallen twice because Zuri kept insisting that he was using the wrong blocks.“I don’t understand how mine is wrong when it is taller than yours,” he said, looking at her suspiciously.“Because yours is not beautiful.”I covered my mouth to hid
Chapter Seventy S:A Night With My HusbandVeyra’s POVI remained in Cairos’s arms for a while after our conversation, listening to the steady sound of his heartbeat while trying to understand how we had reached this point, because when we first agreed to get married, neither of us had expected anything beyond the arrangement we had made, and I certainly had never imagined that I would one day become afraid of losing him.Somewhere along the way, things had changed between us, and although I could not point to the exact moment it happened, I knew that returning to the way things were before we became close was no longer something I wanted.I had grown used to his presence, to the way he looked for me whenever he returned home, and to how he remembered little things about me that I sometimes forgot myself, but what frightened me most was realizing how much it had hurt to see him with Astra.Perhaps I had fallen in love with my husband without realizing it.I lifted my head, only to find
