The moment they stepped out of Derek’s office, both men released a breath they did not realize they had been holding. But for completely different reasons.

Luis finally felt like he could breathe again. The cold pressure inside that office had almost suffocated him. Even the air around Derek felt heavy and dangerous. Standing near him for too long always made Luis nervous.

But Ethan’s reason was different. He could still feel Derek’s piercing gaze on him. It was as if the man already knew t

    Heaven finally arrived at her company’s event hall. Just as she expected, the place was already crowded. Members of staff, directors, managers, reporters, and other workers from the broadcasting company filled the massive hall. Expensive lights shone beautifully from above while soft music played quietly in the background, giving the atmosphere a calm and elegant feeling. People stood in groups, chatting and laughing while holding glasses of wine and champagne. Heaven walked deeper into the hall with a polite smile on her face. As she looked around, a waiter approached her with a silver tray filled with glass cups containing different drinks. The waiter bowed respectfully before lowering the tray toward her. Heaven nodded slightly and picked up one of the glasses. “Thank you,” she said softly. The waiter bowed again before walking away. Heaven slowly raised the glass to her lips and took a small sip while observing the people around her. Everyone here had their own purpo

    The moment they stepped out of Derek’s office, both men released a breath they did not realize they had been holding. But for completely different reasons. Luis finally felt like he could breathe again. The cold pressure inside that office had almost suffocated him. Even the air around Derek felt heavy and dangerous. Standing near him for too long always made Luis nervous. But Ethan’s reason was different. He could still feel Derek’s piercing gaze on him. It was as if the man already knew the truth and was simply waiting for Ethan to confess it himself. Ethan clenched his jaw slightly as they walked through the hallway. He did not understand why he lied. He knew she was the girl Derek had been searching for all these years. But the moment he remembered the time they spent together before she disappeared… he simply could not bring himself to send her to death. Beside him, Luis kept talking. “You seriously need treatment,” Luis said while glancing at Ethan’s bleeding side. “Your

    Luis drove for almost two hours without stopping. The city lights slowly disappeared behind them as the road became darker and emptier. The smooth highways turned into cracked roads filled with potholes and abandoned buildings. Rusted streetlights flickered weakly in some places while other parts of the road were swallowed completely by darkness. Ethan sat quietly in the passenger seat, pressing one hand against his injured side. Blood had already soaked through his shirt, but he ignored the pain. His sharp eyes remained fixed on the window. The deeper they drove into the area, the worse it became. Old warehouses stood like dead giants under the night sky. Burnt cars were abandoned by the roadside, and stray dogs wandered through piles of trash. It was the kind of place people avoided even during the daytime. Finally, Luis slowed down the van and stopped in front of an old factory hidden between several broken buildings. From the outside, the factory looked completely abandoned.

    “Who… who are you?” Isabella asked, fear tightening her chest. She looked down at the hand gripping her wrist. It was deathly cold, as if she were being held by a corpse, yet his grip was like iron. She tried to wrench her arm away. “Let… let go of me!” She struggled with everything she had, but the man didn't budge. He just stood there, staring at her with hollow, frozen eyes. “Are you crazy?!” Isabella finally snapped, her panic turning into frustration. She scanned the hallway, but it was eerily silent. Not a soul was in sight. The emptiness made her heart race even faster. “Help! Someone help me! I’m being kidnapped!” she screamed. The man ignored her cries. Instead, he leaned forward and roughly shoved the fabric off her right shoulder. His eyes widened as they landed on a small tattoo of a crown. “I never expected you to be alive… let alone survive,” he said, his voice raspy and thin. Alive? Survive? Isabella’s mind whirled. What is he talking about? “You’re coming

    Isabella stared at the massive shopping mall, her mind racing. What are we doing here? she wondered. Before she could make sense of it, a guard pulled open the car door, waiting. "Go with the guards and get yourself some new clothes," Tavian said, his voice flat. Isabella blinked in surprise."Huh?" Has he really brought her here just to shop?. For a fleeting second, she wondered if she’d misjudged him—maybe there was a shred of kindness under that cold exterior. But his next words shattered that thought instantly. "I don't want you looking like a disgrace," Tavian added, his eyes never leaving the window. "You're an embarrassment like that." The small spark of hope in Isabella’s chest died. She felt a sharp sting of humiliation, her face heating up. She was a fool to think he cared. If anything, he was crueler than she imagined.She gave a stiff, silent nod. "Use your words," he snapped. Isabella swallowed hard. "Yes, Mr. Tavian," she whispered. She climbed out of the

    Isabella could hear the door of the bedroom opening and closing. "Madam, it is time for breakfast," Joy said as she walked forward and pushed the curtains aside, allowing the sunlight to seep in. Isabella could only hiss and groan as she struggled to sit up.When she finally did, she saw Joy standing in front of the bed, her arms behind her back with a smile. But just by looking at Isabella, Joy noticed her tired eyes."Are you okay, Madam?" she asked, her voice laced with concern. Isabella was beyond tired; she was mentally drained. All through last night, she hadn’t been able to sleep, her eyes stuck on the door. She feared that the moment she closed them, Tavian would walk in and do the unthinkable to her. After all, for a man who could kill without batting an eye, he could definitely do worse to a living person like her. It was only in the early morning that she finally fell asleep, which made her eyes feel so heavy."I didn't get enough sleep last night," she simply said.
