Max stepped out of the car, his body heavy with exhaustion. His tie was loosened, his shirt slightly wrinkled, but none of it mattered. His mind was elsewhere.

As he walked toward the door, his foot hit something small. A faint glint caught his eye. He frowned and knelt down to see what it was. His fingers brushed over the dirt, and then he saw it.

It was a ring and it looked familiar...

His breath caught.

Slowly, he picked it up, his hands trembled as he wiped off the dust. The moment his fingers closed around it, a memory crashed into him.

"Will you marry me again?"

Kristen’s voice, her hesitant smile, the way she looked at him that night.....it all came rushing back.

“Kristen…” he whispered, his eyes scanning the empty space around him. His chest tightened. He turned in circles, gripping the ring tighter.

“Kristen!” he called out again. But there was no answer. Just silence.

He exhaled sharply as he pressed the ring to his chest.

Max rushed inside, still holding onto the ring tight

    Lena stood in front of the mirror, smiling at her reflection.Her dress sparkled. Her hair was perfect. Today was her day.She touched her lips lightly, then turned to the makeup artist."Make sure everything stays flawless. I can’t have anything going wrong."She glanced at her phone...still no message from Max.But she didn’t panic. Not today.“I’m not stressing out today,” she whispered to herself.Just then, the door opened and her parents stepped in.Lena lit up. “Mom, Dad!”“Out, everyone,” she said quickly to the makeup team. “Give us a minute.”Her dad looked her up and down with a smile on his face.“Are you sure you’re the bride this time?” he teased.Lena rolled her eyes with a playful laugh. “Of course, duhhh.”They all chuckled.“I told you not to stress yourselves coming,” she added as she adjusted her veil in the mirror.“Give us a break, princess,” her dad said. “We wouldn’t miss this.....even if it was the tiniest celebration.”He leaned in and kissed her forehead gent

    Max walked slowly toward the altar, his steps heavy and his face serious. He adjusted his clip as he moved, and every step was measured.Lena, who was seated on the altar side, suddenly stood up when she heard the murmurs.When she turned, she saw Max approaching, and a small grin crossed her face. I knew you were definitely going to show your face, she thought.Max reached her side, and without a moment's hesitation, Lena rushed forward and hugged him. Her hands slipped under his shirt as she clutched him tightly."I’m sorry for being late," he muttered as he gently parted her hair.Max then turned to the gathered guests and apologized.The atmosphere held its breath, Every eye watched as the tension gradually dissolved into a delicate moment of forgiveness.…....Now, everything moved along like nothing had happened.Next clipLena’s dad stood beside her, adjusting himself with a proud smile. “Shall we?” he asked softly, offering his arm.Lena, her face glowing beneath the laced vei

    Mr. Green had just managed to free himself. Wasting no time, he hurried toward the reception hall.He entered the first room. It was empty.The second...no no sign of Max.He went to the last door near the end of the corridor.At first, he didn’t see anything unusual. But then, he looked again and froze.Max was lying there, motionless.“Mr. Anderson!” Mr. Green called out in shock and quickly rushed to his side with hesitation.….………….Kristen slowly entered her room, her face tight like she’d been holding everything in for far too long.The moment the door shut behind her, she slid down to the floor and burst into tears.She couldn't hold it in anymore.Tears spilled down her cheeks as sobs wracked her body.

    “Oh my, I need to make sure I look good there, at least,” Lena said, pacing back and forth in her closet. She held up an outfit in front of her, still on the hanger.“Hmm, no… this looks overdressed,” she muttered as she tossed it to the floor.“This one’s too tight.” Another outfit joined the pile.Then her eyes lit up.“Perfect. This one’s comfy... and great for the hospital. At least I’ll get a better angle if the media shows up,” she smiled, satisfied, and rushed into the washroom to change.….………..He walked into one of the hospital’s private rooms reserved for family. He quietly shut the door behind him.His shoulders sagged as though the weight of the world was pressing down on him.With trembling hands, he removed his glasses and set them on the side table.His eyes, heavy and clouded with thoughts, stared into nothing.He took slow steps toward the chair in the corner and sank into it, exhaling deeply as his body finally gave in.He leaned back as he rested his head against th

  • Dangerous Love by a Billion   Chapter 50 : Going after her

    The next dayMr. Green sat slouched against the wall, his head resting to the side as his eyes closed. He had fallen asleep just like that, still in yesterday’s clothes. His arms were folded between his legs, as if trying to hold himself together. The hallway around him was quiet and cold, too.“Mr. Green,” the doctor called gently as he walked toward him.Mr. Green stirred awake, rubbed his eyes and tried sitting up straight. His back ached from sleeping against the hard wall, but he didn’t care. “How is he?” he asked quickly with a rough voice.The doctor sighed and folded his arms. “He made it through the night… barely. His vitals have stabilized a little, but he’s still not responding the way we hoped.”Mr. Green blinked slowly. “Is he… conscious?”The doctor shook his head. “No, not yet. His body’s weak. And his kidneys… we may not have much time before we need to act.”Mr. Green looked down at his hands. “What do we do now?”“We need a donor. Fast,” the doctor said quietly. “We’

    A smile still sat on Lena’s lips as she sipped her drink slowly. Her eyes followed the man walking away, the brown envelope now gone from the table.And then... the flashbacks came rushing in.Flashback: Two Months AgoIt was two months ago, days after Max had mistakenly married Kristen instead of Lena. He stormed out of the mansion as he said to himself, “I will make sure to get everything on her.”Lena, curious and secretly following him, watched as Max met with a man in a quiet corner. She stayed hidden, her eyes narrowing when she saw Max hand something over to the man, clearly instructing him.As soon as Max drove off, Lena didn’t waste a second. She rushed toward the man.“Hey, Mrs. Lena, you’re here…” the man said nervously.“Charles,” she greeted with a smile. “Long time no see.”“I saw Max here. What did he say?” she asked, tilting her head.Charles hesitated, trying to brush her off. But Lena stepped closer with sharp eyes. “I heard everything. He asked you to do something,

    At the hospitalMr. Erik hurried down the hallway, his wife following closely behind. She clutched her purse tightly, her face lined with tension.As they neared the hospital wing, Mr. Valtor stepped forward to meet them.“You shouldn’t have canceled your flight back, Erik,” Valtor said.“Come on, Valtor,” Mr. Erik replied, offering a small nod. “We had everything arranged. It’s only right that we come. Max is family.”Valtor exhaled heavily, clearly uneasy. “I appreciate you both, will forever be grateful” he said, reaching out to shake Erik’s hand.Mrs. Julia stood a short distance behind, trying to keep composed, though her hands trembled slightly by her sides. Her eyes were fixed on the hallway ahead, worry etched deep into her features.Beside her, Mrs. Marissa walked slowly. She glanced at Julia from the side and gently placed a hand on her arm.“He’s strong,” Marissa said quietly, just enough for Julia to hear. “Max will pull through.”Julia didn’t respond right away.

    “The number you’re calling cannot be reached at this moment. Please call back later,” the phone said as the nurse dialed the number.She frowned and tried again.“The number you’re calling is currently switched off.”Letting out a soft sigh, the nurse glanced at the paper again. Then she stood up, looked around the hallway, and scanned the area, hoping to spot the man who had given her the number.Holding the paper tightly, she stepped away from the desk, calling out gently while checking each direction, “Sir? Hello? Are you still here?”But there was no sign of him.….……………………..“So happy you decided to come see your aunt after so long,” a chubby Italian-looking woman said as she placed a cup of tea on the table.Kristen nodded, feeling grateful that the woman had accepted her into her home. She glanced down at her phone, still trying to turn it on.The woman noticed and sat beside her.“Don’t worry, you’ll be able to charge it once the power is back,” she said kindly, settling into h

    "Yes, ma’am. I’ve been following her for the past twenty minutes now," the man said, his voice low as he sat alone in his car. From a distance, his eyes locked on Kristen’s back as she slowly dragged herself down the street…“Keep an eye on her and don’t lose sight of her,” Lena’s voice came through cold and sharp. “We end her today. No mistakes…..….……..Kristen swallowed hard as she dragged herself down the street. Her eyes were wide open, unblinking, lost in shock."Yes, the Andersons killed your parents...Paloma Da Silva..." Mr. Creed’s voice echoed fiercely in her head, loud and sharp.“You filthy little girl” Wham!The memory of Mr. Valtor's slap stung her cheek.His cruel words echoed more loudly than ever: "I'll ensure your life is filled with misery. You'll never experience happiness again."Her hands clenched into fists, her heart beating fast. Tears filled her eyes as his words, the memory, and the pain returned like a storm.“They’re evil… wolves dressed like sheep for th

    Pointing his torchlight around to see through the dark, the security guard moved from one office to another, making sure everything was in place. He locked the ones that needed to be locked.At the far end, he flashed the torchlight toward the lobby to see if anyone was there but no one was there. Sighing in relief, he turned to walk away. But just as he reached the hallway, he heard footsteps approaching."Hmm..." he muttered, turning quickly to the direction....but no one was there.Suddenly there was a tap on his shoulder.“Ahhh!” he screamed, stumbling backwards and falling to the floor. The torchlight slipped from his hand and skidded across the floor.A polished shoe stopped it from sliding further.“Please… don’t hurt me,” the security guard muttered, crawling back in fear.The figure slowly bent down, picked up the torch, and pointed it directly at the guard’s face.“Please… please don’t…” the guard trembled, his eyes squeezed shut.Then.....there was a clap and the lights fli

    A few days later"I’m sorry to tell you this..." he said hesitantly. "Miss Jessica Barlow didn’t make it. She died in the fire... 21 years ago," Mr. Creed added, his gaze dropping to the floor before slowly meeting Kristen’s eyes. There was so much pain in them."And... your parents died in that fire as well," he continued gently.Kristen’s knees buckled, and she fell back into the chair, her eyes wide with disbelief.His words echoed in her mind like a broken record, her heart pounding.She lifted her face slowly, staring at her reflection in the mirror across the room. Her lips parted as if to speak, but no words came. Just a single tear… then another… sliding quietly down her cheeks.Suddenly a flashback came rushing in.....“Paloma, where are you, little mama?” Mr. Sebastian’s voice called out, slightly panicked as he entered the room.He spun slowly in the center of the room, pretending not to see the little legs peeking from under the bed.“Ohhh, baby… where are you?” he said aga

    “She’s stable now,” Dr. Devis said as he approached Mr. Creed.“Good,” Mr. Creed responded, his eyes still fixed on the door to Kristen’s room.Dr. Devis hesitated, then continued, “But we can’t be certain yet. What she recalled during the fire....it may have been a flashback triggered by extreme fear. Trauma can resurface buried memories, but it doesn’t always mean they’ll stay.”Mr. Creed nodded slowly, absorbing every word. “So we won’t know for sure until she wakes up… and says something about it or not?”“Exactly,” the doctor said. “Only then can we confirm if the memories are truly back, or if they were just fleeting echoes stirred by panic.”Just as Dr. Devis walked away, Mom Maria rushed to him in the hallway with panic in her eyes.….……………“Oh goodness....how is she now?” she asked breathlessly, grabbing Mr. Creed’s arm for support.“The doctor said she’s stable,” Mr. Creed replied softly, holding onto her trembling frame as she sank onto the nearby bench. “She collapsed from

    “Please… someone save us,” she cried out as the burst of fire surrounded her.With trembling hands, she covered her head and slowly lay flat on the floor, her eyes blinking through tears, fixed helplessly on the flames closing in around her. ...“Miss Jessica,” Paloma called out with a playful laugh, tugging at her hand. “Can we play? Please?”Miss Jessica gave her a gentle smile but shook her head. “It’s bedtime, Paloma. Your mom will kill us if she comes back and finds you still awake.”Paloma pouted, then grinned slyly. “But how will she know… if no one tells her?” She spun around, her eyes wide with mischief. “As soon as we hear her car, I’ll run back to bed and pretend I’ve been sleeping the whole time!”Miss Jessica let out a small laugh, shaking her head. “You’re impossible.”“Oh, my.....always getting me with this look,” Miss Jessica said with a soft sigh, unable to hide her smile. “Okay, okay... we can play. But only for a few minutes, alright?”“Yay!” Paloma beamed.Jessica

    Mr. Creed paced back and forth, the neurologist's words looped through his mind. "Not literally. But placing her in an environment that mimics the original setting... even the scent of smoke, certain visuals, sounds... it might help trigger something. However, I must be clear: this is not guaranteed. There's only about a 70% chance she'll recover even partial memory......and it's emotionally risky."He clenched his jaw, lost in thought.“Mr. Creed, you called for me?” Tyrese’s voice broke the silence as he stepped into the room.Mr. Creed stopped abruptly, turned slowly and locked eyes with Tyrese. He studied him in silence for a moment.“History is about to repeat itself,” he muttered under his breath.Tyrese frowned, confused yet aware of the significance of what was about to unfold.Mr. Creed turned away again, staring into nothing.“There’s going to be another FIRE,” he said quietly, but with a chilling certainty in his voice.“Another fire,” he repeated, steadying himself with a

    Kristen walked briskly through the office hallway, a file clutched tightly in her hands. She was headed toward the conference room when the sound of shoes approaching caught her attention.Mr. Creed had just walked in, a security guard following a few paces behind. His usual sharp stride slowed the moment his eyes landed on her.Kristen paused, unsure why he was staring.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted politely, offering a small smile.But Mr. Creed didn’t answer right away. His gaze lingered, heavy and distant, as though he were staring through her.“My sweet Amara…” he muttered under his breath, the name spilling out before he could stop it.Kristen blinked, confused. “Sir?” she asked gently.Before either of them could react further, Mr. Mondragon got closed and without warning...wrapped Kristen in a hug from the side with caught her off guard.“Hello!

    "Sir... we were so sure about it. We saw her leaving the house," one of the men stammered, his voice shaky with fear.Mr. Creed slowly turned to face them. His eyes, dark with rage, locked onto the man like a predator. The way he stared made the room feel colder...like all the warmth had been sucked out."You saw her leave?" he repeated, his voice low and deadly. His gaze blazed with fury, his chest rising and falling heavily. Then, without warning, he grabbed the man by the shoulder."You said you saw her?" he barked, his voice shaking with suppressed wrath. His hand trembled with anger.The man flinched, trying to keep his voice steady. "Y...yes, sir... I did," he choked out, his neck reddening under Creed’s grip.He was about to speak again when Creed suddenly shoved him to the ground.Without hesitation, Creed snatched the gun from Tyresse’s side and, in one swift move, fired at the two men.Bang.

    “Congratulations to you too, Creed,” Sebastian said with a calm smile as he extended his hand. “You fought a good game.”Creed gripped his hand firmly, eyes steady. “Haha… There won’t be a next time for you to win anything,” he replied with a sarcastic edge.Sebastian’s smile faltered just a bit. “Excuse me? I didn’t quite catch the joke...I'm a bit slow sometimes”“Oh,” Creed said with a cold chuckle. “Maybe because it was a thin one. Never mind.” He gave a slight bow. “I wish you all the best.”“Mr. Sebastian, please....the President wants to see you,” a guard said as he approached quickly.Sebastian gave a short nod, then turned to Creed. “I’ll take my leave now, Mr. Creed. See you again sometime,” he said, then walked away without waiting for a reply.Creed’s eyes followed him, a cold storm brewing behind them. “There won’t be any next time,” he muttered under his breath. “I’ll take back my Amara… and everything I deserve from you.
