Elena could not breathe.

The air inside the restaurant felt too thick, too heavy. Her chest tightened as though invisible hands were squeezing her heart. Her fingers dug into the edge of the table, but she felt nothing.

Only fear.

Alex stood there.

Alive.

Real.

Not a nightmare.

Not a memory.

He stood tall, calm, dressed neatly, like he had all the time in the world. His eyes scanned the room before finally settling on her.

And when their eyes met—

Elena’s world shattered.

Her blood turned cold. Her heartbeat roared in her ears. Her mouth opened, but no sound came out.

She wanted to run.

Her legs refused to move.

Alex walked toward her slowly. Each step was measured. Controlled. Like a predator enjoying the moment before the kill.

People around them laughed softly. Glasses clinked. Music played.

No one noticed. No one cared, actually.

Alex stopped in front of her table.

He smiled.

It was not warm.

It was not kind.

It was the smile of someone who knew he had already won.

“Hello, Elena,”

  • DEADLY SEDUCTION    Chapter 142

    Two weeks passed since Alex was locked up, but time did not heal everything.Investigations were still ongoing, while Alex focused on channeling millions to have the case manipulated.He had been stripped of his tailored suits and false smiles, waiting for a trial that promised to be long and brutal. The news spoke of him every day—court dates, charges, evidence piling up like a mountain he could no longer climb. The world had finally turned its back on him.But inside Elena’s world, silence was louder than any headline.The house had changed.Words had become expensive. Everyone had battles they fought on the inside.Elena secretly blamed herself for Jason’s death. Every day was a constant reminder that her life, freedom, and peace were bought with Jason’s blood.Being happy suddenly felt like a crime.While Malik focused on making Elena happy again, he could never really forgive himself for Jason’s death.Jason had made the sacrifice to save them both, but it would never have gotten

  • DEADLY SEDUCTION    Chapter 141

    The hospital room was quiet, but not peaceful.The beeping of machines had become a background hum, almost like a heartbeat steadying itself after trauma. Claudia, Mr. Clarkson, and Andrea stood in a tight cluster, their faces pale, hands fidgeting nervously. The weight of what they were about to do pressed on them heavily.“We have everything,” Claudia whispered, almost to herself. “The flash drive, Andrea’s recordings, all the proof of Alex’s crimes… we just need to submit it. The police… they’ll finally—”Andrea swallowed hard, tears stinging her eyes. “I just… I don’t know if it’s enough. We both know how powerful Alex is, What if—”“Don’t worry too much, miss Andrea,” Mr. Clarkson interrupted, his voice firm but gentle. “We have evidence no one can ignore. If we submit this now, justice will finally start.”Andrea’s hands trembled as she clutched the folder containing the recordings, payments, and messages. Her heart felt like it was simultaneously breaking and pounding with adr

  • DEADLY SEDUCTION    Chapter 140

    Jason was gone!Along with the building that had collapsed and shattered to the floor.Elena hugged Malik tightly as she cried like her heart would pump out of her chest.Malik wrapped his arms tightly around her, but even his hug didn’t give her comfort.Suddenly, the sirens came out of nowhere.They tore through the air like screams—sharp and unforgiving—cutting through the smoke that still hung around the ruins of the building. Red and blue lights flashed violently against the blackened walls, against the broken glass, against Elena’s trembling body.She was still on the ground.Her knees were scraped. Her palms burned. Her throat felt raw, torn apart from screaming Jason’s name over and over again until her voice gave up on her.The building behind her was gone.Not damaged.Gone.Reduced to rubble, fire, and twisted metal.Jason was gone too.Elena didn’t hear the officers shouting at first. She didn’t hear the boots rushing toward her. She didn’t feel the rough hands grab her ar

    Morning came, but no light reached them.There were no windows in the room. No sense of time. No sunrise. No birds. Only the hum of electricity and the dull ticking sound that never stopped.Tick.Tick.Tick.Elena had not slept.Her eyes were swollen and red. Her throat burned from crying. Her body was stiff from sitting upright all night, chained between Malik and Jason. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Alex’s smile. Every time she opened them, she remembered his words.*You should die together.*The ticking continued.Jason’s breathing was shallow. Malik sat very still, his back straight even in pain, as if refusing to let the chains break him.None of them spoke.What was there to say when fear had already swallowed everything?Then—Footsteps.Slow. Calm. Unhurried.Elena’s body reacted before her mind did. She flinched violently. Her heart slammed against her ribs. Malik’s jaw tightened. Jason lifted his head with effort.The door opened.Light flooded the room, harsh and

    Jason’s lungs burned.Every room he searched felt tighter than the last. The walls closed in on him, thick with silence and dread. His footsteps echoed too loudly in his ears, each one reminding him that time was slipping away.“Malik,” he whispered again.No answer.The secret corridors twisted endlessly. He checked the rooms again. And again. Blood stains. Broken chains. Empty spaces where bodies should have been.Nothing.His heart sank deeper with every step.“No… no, no,” Jason muttered, panic clawing at his chest.He had been sure.He had felt it in his bones that Malik was close. That he was still alive. That he could be saved.But Malik was gone.Jason leaned against the wall, breathing hard, sweat running down his face. His hands shook.“What if I’m too late?” he whispered.The thought sliced through him.He straightened suddenly.“No,” he said firmly. “I won’t leave without him.”Jason moved again, faster now, desperation driving him forward.He didn’t see the shadows moving

    Pain was no longer something Malik felt.It was something he lived inside.His body hung uselessly from the chains, his head slumped forward, sweat dripping from his hair to the blood-soaked floor beneath him. His back felt like fire had been poured into it and left to burn. Every breath scraped his lungs. Every heartbeat sent a fresh wave of pain tearing through his ribs.Alex stood in front of him, calm as ever.Disgustingly calm.“You see,” Alex said softly, circling Malik like a predator admiring wounded prey, “people always think death is the worst thing.”He stopped in front of Malik.“It’s not.”Alex raised his hand.The punch landed hard against Malik’s stomach.Malik choked, air exploding from his lungs. His body jerked violently, chains rattling as he gagged and gasped, trying desperately to breathe.Alex leaned closer.“Living,” he whispered, “is far worse.”Another blow followed.Then another.Malik cried out this time. He couldn’t stop it. His voice echoed weakly in the r
