The elevator finally came to a stop after a short while, and before the doors could even slide open completely, Xander rushed out without waiting.

His steps were fast and urgent, as his eyes kept moving sharply from one end of the hallway to the other.

“Viola…” he muttered under his breath, his voice tight with worry.

He turned left, then right, scanning every corner and every shadow, even passing people, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing this, his brows furrowed deeply, frustration and p

  • Bound By Lies: His Brother’s Obsession    Payback.

    Now with Maxwell and the waiter gone, Xander slowly turned his attention back to Derek, who was still sitting on the floor with his head lowered. Earlier when they were punching them, Xander's bodyguard brought three plastic chairs because he knew they would love to sit. So with that, Michael pulled a chair closer and sat down comfortably as he watched their captive with an amused expression. Just then, Xander stepped forward and looked down at him and said, “Now that we’re finally alone, I believe we can have a proper conversation,” saying this, a faint smile appearing on his face as he settled into the chair.Derek remained silent, not daring to meet his eyes.Watching his reaction, Xander chuckled softly before asking, “So, Derek, how does it feel knowing that all your plans have come crashing down? You and Claire must have been quite confident that everything would go exactly as you wanted.” He said this without beating around the bush. Meanwhile, the moment he heard Claire’s na

  • Bound By Lies: His Brother’s Obsession    To the Station.

    Before Derek or the waiter could fully process what was happening, Xander suddenly stepped forward and landed a powerful punch on Derek’s face, sending his head snapping to the side. He barely had time to recover before Xander grabbed him again and delivered another blow, his expression cold and filled with anger. The waiter watched in horror, but before he could even move away, Xander turned towards him and landed a hard punch that sent him stumbling backwards.Not wanting to be left out, Michael and Maxwell quickly joined in, each taking turns landing several punches on the two men. None of them showed any intention of stopping as they continued beating them, their anger growing with every blow. Derek and the waiter tried to defend themselves, but after spending days without proper food and being trapped in the room, they barely had the strength to fight back.The beating continued until both men were almost unconscious with their bodies aching and their faces badly bruised. It w

  • Bound By Lies: His Brother’s Obsession    Shocked.

    Several minutes later, Derek and the waiter had finally finished eating, and although Xander, Michael, and Maxwell were eager to confront them, none of them was in a hurry to enter the room. Instead, they deliberately allowed a little more time to pass so the two men could properly digest their food, because they wanted them to be comfortable enough to understand exactly what was coming next.Meanwhile, inside the empty room, Derek and the waiter were finally feeling much better after eating to their satisfaction. Their stomachs were no longer aching from hunger, and their throats were no longer as dry as before, so they both sat upright against the wall, allowing their bodies to settle after the meal.After sitting in silence for several minutes without seeing anyone come to check on them, the waiter eventually turned toward Derek, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed and finally asked, “Uhmm, why is no one coming here?” As he said this, he looked around the empty ro

  • Bound By Lies: His Brother’s Obsession    Hunger.

    In the empty room, Derek and the waiter sat on the cold floor with pale and exhausted faces. They had not eaten anything since they were locked inside, and this was already their second day without food. By now, their hunger had become so intense that neither of them had the strength or even the interest to talk to the other, while their throats had become painfully dry from not having anything to drink.The waiter shifted uncomfortably and swallowed with difficulty, but his throat felt so parched that even swallowing had become uncomfortable. He lowered his head and tried to ignore the growing pain in his stomach, but a few seconds later, his stomach suddenly made a loud rumbling sound that echoed through the empty room.He immediately gritted his teeth and placed a hand over his stomach. “Damn it,” he muttered bitterly and added. “I’m so hungry.”Derek glanced at him but said nothing, because he was in no better condition himself. In fact, Derek knew that the waiter had probably suf

  • Bound By Lies: His Brother’s Obsession    Approval

    As soon as they entered Viola’s office, she closed the door behind them and let out a long breath before taking off her blazer and placing it neatly over the back of her chair. She then sat down, leaned back against the chair, and took another deep breath as she rubbed her forehead, looking completely lost in her thoughts.Seeing her suddenly become so serious, Alexa walked closer and looked at her with concern before asking. “What’s wrong, babe?”Viola looked up at her, pouted her lips slightly, and sighed. “I’m just thinking about this morning. Oh my God!” Saying this, she exclaimed loudly.Alexa immediately breathed out in relief when she realized that nothing serious had happened, but a second later, she suddenly burst into laughter because she remembered exactly what Viola was talking about. She tried to control herself, but the moment she saw the deep frown forming on Viola’s face, she quickly covered her mouth and stopped laughing.“I’m so sorry, Vi,” Alexa said, still struggli

  • Bound By Lies: His Brother’s Obsession    Meeting.

    The next day, everyone eventually went their separate ways, and by then, Viola and Alexa were already back at work. Because of how busy Viola had been the previous day, she had not been able to send out the new designs she sketched yesterday, so she decided to handle everything first thing that morning. Right now, she was currently in a meeting with the heads and members of the design and sewing departments, with all the new sketches spread carefully across the large conference table in front of them.The moment the workers began going through the sketches, they could not hide their admiration. Each design was carefully drawn and detailed, and they could already imagine how beautiful the finished dresses would look once they were properly made.“These designs are really beautiful,” one of the designers said as she carefully picked up one of the sketches and added with a stunned look. “I can already picture how elegant this one will look when it is brought to life.”Another designer n

    As they waited for her secretary to come pick them up, Viola looked around and was really impressed with the outcome. But just then, an unwanted presence arrived.Not too far from where they stood, another car pulled up smoothly, and stepping out of it were none other than Claire, Nathan, and Bella

    An hour later, Vivian came downstairs dressed, carrying all the packages in her hands.As soon as she entered the living room, she paused for a moment and looked around.It was quiet, as no one was present. She already knew that Viola and Alexa were not around, but as for the head maid, she didn’t

    At the shopping mall, even though no one knows her, Claire walked in with her chin lifted high and her arm tightly hooked around Nathan’s. While Bella walked beside them, happily skipping now and then, clearly excited.The moment they stepped into a high end boutique in the shopping mall, the sales

    Saying this, she stood up from the couch and walked towards the door. She was about to open it when she suddenly turned back slowly, a sly smile curling on her lips.Derek was now standing by the table with his arms crossed as he watched her like he had been waiting for that moment.“It’s been a l
