Chloe glanced at her best friend, then gestured with icy indifference toward the trembling, purple-faced Julian Lang. "This 'healer of souls' right here just informed me that he’s willing to pay two thousand dollars a month to keep me. Apparently, him taking an interest in me is a blessing I’ve earned through eight previous lifetimes of good deeds."

Lyra froze for a heartbeat before exploding into a fit of hysterical, rib-shattering laughter. She bent over, clutching her stomach, actually wipin

    Xavier’s entire aura shifted. His face was more chilling than it had ever been, his voice a low, lethal rasp. "Understood. Keep your eyes on her. Do not lose sight of her for a second."The moment he hung up, Xavier pulled up the estate’s internal security logs. He scrubbed through the footage, rewinding until he saw it: Chloe slipping into the master bedroom. He watched her approach the bed, her movements cautious as she retrieved several strands of his hair from beneath the pillow.At that moment, a fury he had never known erupted within him. "Chloe Bishop..."If there was one thing Xavier Grayson loathed more than anything, it was a woman using underhanded, deceptive tactics. He had warned her repeatedly not to cross his lines. He had given her more freedom than any woman before her, yet she refused to learn.In his mind, the motive was clear: Chloe was taking his and Liam Jr.’s hair to a DNA clinic. She was questioning the very foundation of his bloodline.Chloe, meanwhile, remain

    If she continued this war, she would become a permanent enemy of the Vance Group. Arthur Vance had already shown that he was willing to burn the world down to save his reputation.Sarah looked at Maddy. The vibrant, laughing child of a month ago was gone, replaced by a girl who jumped at loud noises and clung to Sarah’s shadow. To keep fighting was to keep Maddy in the crossfire. Sarah’s pride was a high price to pay, but her daughter’s sanity was priceless. She was done.Lulu watched her friend with a heavy heart. The "Elite Coder" looked like a ghost of herself. Unable to stand the silence, Lulu stepped into the hallway and called Chloe Bishop. "Chloe, it’s done. She’s out, but she’s... she’s not okay. You need to come."Inside, Sarah picked up her phone. She had one last piece of business to conclude. She sent a final text to Arthur:"I’ve moved Maddy out. I’m going to the bank on Monday to close the accounts. If you want the money I returned, you’d better transfer it out within fo

    Standing before the towering glass doors of the Bureau, Sarah found herself haunted by a memory from seven years ago.Back then, Arthur Vance had practically sprinted out of these doors, clutching their marriage licenses like a child who had won the entire world. He had pulled her into his arms, kissing her face with a raw, breathless excitement, declaring to the sky that she was finally, legally his.Now, the man walking beside her maintained a distance of exactly two meters, his body language radiating a cold, clinical detachment.Sensing her gaze, Arthur cut a sideways glance at her. There was no joy, no passion—only a visceral, naked loathing that he didn't even bother to hide.Sarah’s lips curled into a faint, mocking arc. She looked back at the sign above the entrance. Seven years of devotion had begun here, and in a few minutes, it would end here.Because it was after hours, Arthur had pulled strings with the director to have staff wait for them in secret. The "Demon CEO’s" cou

    The air in the living room was suffocating. When Arthur Vance erupted, the lawyers and guards trembled, their heads bowed as they stood frozen in fear. Even Victoria Vance held her breath, not daring to provoke her son in this state, even though she secretly desired nothing more than for Sarah to take Maddy and disappear forever.Amidst the storm, only Sarah remained unshaken. Her composure was a fortress of ice. "This is my only condition," she said, her voice a chilling monotone. "If you refuse, we proceed according to the law. We will split the assets exactly as the court dictates—and I will not stop until I have destroyed Yvonne Blue."She looked him in the eye, her gaze unflinching. "Think carefully, Arthur. If I don’t cooperate, even a divorce certificate is just a piece of paper. The family fortune, the company’s stock, Yvonne’s reputation... it all hangs on your next word."Arthur looked as though he wanted to reach out and crush her throat. "Why are you pushing me this far? W

    The air in the living room felt like a glass dome on the verge of shattering. Victoria Vance scrambled, her hands trembling as she reached for her son’s arm. "Arthur, it’s not what you think... let me explain..."But Sarah Vance was a master of the timed strike. She didn't give the matriarch a second to breathe. "Oh, I remember now," Sarah said, her voice dripping with a feigned, airy realization. "I did say I only wanted Maddy. But you didn't tell me there were... strings attached to that offer."Sarah’s eyes remained locked on Arthur Vance. She was willing to walk away into the night with nothing but her daughter, but the idea of her carrying the legal and social blame for his and Yvonne Blue’s sins? That was a bridge too far. She would never play the villain in a story where she was the victim.Arthur read the fire in her eyes. He knew her character better than anyone—Sarah was prideful, brilliant, and utterly unyielding when pushed. He realized now that her "easy compromise" earli

    "I think you should call your mother first," Sarah stated calmly, her voice cutting through Arthur Vance’s arrogant display of generosity.Arthur’s brow knit in annoyance. "I can make my own decisions regarding this settlement, Sarah. I don't need her permission.""Then I’ll call her myself," Sarah countered. Without waiting for his protest, she dialed Victoria Vance’s number. The call was brief—less than sixty seconds of clipped sentences. Sarah clicked the phone shut and stood up. "Your mother said she’s coming over immediately.""I told you her presence isn't necessary!" Arthur snapped, his face darkening as the veins in his temple began to throb.Sarah ignored him completely. She scooped Maddy up into her arms, her movements fluid and firm. "Call me when everyone is here," she said, disappearing up the stairs without a backward glance.Arthur stood in the center of the foyer, his fists clenched so tight his knuckles turned white. Even at the bitter end, she was still this headstro

    Xavier’s sharp, dark eyes scanned the room, taking in the chaotic mix of young men and women. His brow furrowed in visible distaste before he finally stepped inside, still carrying the silent Liam Jr. in his arms.Chloe Bishop took a sharp breath, gritted her teeth, and followed close behind him, s

    The photo Lyra sent was a digital dagger. In the image, Chloe Bishop was crouched on the curb outside the massive iron gates of the Grayson estate, a lone suitcase standing like a tombstone beside her. The gates behind her were barred shut, cold and final.Someone from the neighborhood must have sn

    Aris stood frozen, hand still stinging. "..."So much for the 'easy to get along with' update, he thought dryly.Outside the silent iron gates of the Grayson estate, Chloe Bishop waited in the thickening dark. Finally, her phone buzzed. Her network had delivered: Xavier had been spotted at The Gran

    "Swift used to have plenty of people," Chloe Bishop continued, her voice projecting across the silent track, "and yet it still fell into decline. Why?"She paused, letting the question hang in the air before answering it herself. "As long as you have elite skill, a team of just a few can still be p
