Author: Nightless Peace
Silas met Nadine's gaze.

"Nadine, let me introduce you to my girlfriend, Stella Larkspur."

"Girlfriend?"

Nadine stumbled forward, her gaze locked on Silas' face.

"Silas, I dare you to look me in the eye and say that again! You clearly still love me. You said that—"

"So what if I said that before?" He cut her off.

He knew that unless he made things absolutely clear, Nadine would never let go. Taking a deep breath, he leaned forward and wrapped his arms around Stella's waist. Before she co

    Nadine slowly opened her eyes to a white ceiling. The door opened, and the doctor walked in. "Ms. Larson, you're awake. How do you feel? Does anything hurt?"She shook her head but said nothing.Her gaze swept across the room. It was so quiet that she could hear nothing but her own breathing."Has anyone come to visit me while I was unconscious?"The doctor thought for a moment before shaking his head."No. Aside from the medical staff, no one has come to see you."Nadine's lips curled into a bitter smile. She should have known better. Who would come to visit her in the first place?Silas had Stella by his side, Jason was in prison, and Larson Group was no longer under her control. She had no one left but herself.Just then, the door opened again. Nadine's heart skipped a beat. She instinctively turned toward the doorway.Silas stood at the entrance, with Stella beside him. Their hands were clasped together.Nadine's gaze fell on their joined hands, and a dull ache spre

    Nadine dropped to her knees on the pavement without hesitation, her gaze fixed on Jason's finger resting on the trigger.One bullet was all it would take to end Silas' life.Jason threw his head back and let out a shrill laugh."Nadine! Look at you now! Aren't you the mighty Ms. Larson? Didn't you once swear you'd never bow down to anyone for as long as you lived?"He looked Nadine up and down, his gaze lingering on her tense expression as a malicious smile twisted his features."Beg me! I said beg! Keep going until I'm satisfied!"Without hesitation, Nadine slammed her forehead against the pavement. The dull thud echoed as blood began to seep from the wound.She struck her forehead against the pavement again and again, each impact worsening the wound. Whenever she lifted her head, blood trickled down her face.Silas stood frozen, watching the woman who had once carried herself with such arrogance kneel before Jason in utter humiliation.After what felt like an eternity, Nadin

    "I'm leaving Nashford," Nadine said, her voice trembling ever so slightly. "I'll settle somewhere nobody knows me. From now on… I won't bother you again."Silas, I hope you find happiness."Only then did Silas finally look at her. The eyes that had once been filled with love were now utterly calm. He remained silent for a few seconds before giving a slight nod. Then he turned, opened the conference room door, and walked out.Nadine stood where she was, watching his figure disappear down the corridor. With the strength drained from her body, she slumped against the cold wall.At the other end of the corridor, Stella was leaning against the wall, waiting for Silas. The moment she saw him emerge unharmed, she hurried over to him. They walked side by side without saying a single word. They had just left the Larson Group building and reached the curb, where they were about to get into their car, when the shrill screech of tires shattered the silence.A black sedan hurtled straight

    The moment Stella finished speaking, Nadine felt as though all the blood had drained from her body. She glared at the figure outside the window, fury burning in her eyes.She whipped around. "Security! Get in here! Stop her!"The doors burst open, and more than a dozen bodyguards in black rushed toward the floor-to-ceiling windows. Stella's men met them head-on before they could reach Silas.The living room erupted in the sounds of crashing bodies and screams. Within minutes, every one of Nadine's bodyguards lay on the floor.Stella glanced at her watch. Only when the last bodyguard went down did she turn her attention back to Silas.Silas pushed Nadine's hand away and walked toward Stella. He didn't turn his head until he reached the window. Then he glanced back at Nadine, his expression calm."See you at the office, Nadine."With that, he climbed aboard the helicopter, and Stella followed close behind. The helicopter rose into the sky and gradually disappeared into the dista

    Nadine's hand froze midair. She had reached out to stroke Silas' cheek, but hesitated before touching him.She stared at him, unsettled by his calm, unreadable expression. He was trapped in this resort without even a chance to step outside, yet he seemed utterly confident, as though he still had an ace up his sleeve.The thought made her uneasy.Just then, her phone rang, breaking the silence.Nadine frowned and pulled out her phone. One glance at the caller ID told her it was Clarice, her assistant.She answered the call. "What is it?"The voice on the other end was frantic."Ms. Larson, we have a problem! Something's happened at Larson Group!" Clarice exclaimed."What's going on?" Nadine demanded."We've just discovered that a mysterious account has acquired 51% of Larson Group's shares! You're no longer the largest shareholder! The board is in an uproar and is demanding an emergency shareholders' meeting. You need to…"The news struck Nadine like a bolt of lightning. All t

    Silas slowly opened his eyes, feeling utterly exhausted.He was in the mountain hot spring resort where he and Nadine had spent their honeymoon three years ago.He shot upright, frowning as he threw off the blanket and hurried to the door. He grabbed the doorknob and twisted it, only to find that the door was locked.Panic swept over him.He spun around and rushed to the window, pulling back the curtains. Refusing to give up, he reached for the window latch and tried to unlock it. Just then, he heard a faint click from the door behind him.His movements froze. Slowly, he turned around.Nadine stood in the doorway, holding a food container filled with all his old favorite dishes.Their eyes met. Her gaze fell on his hand, and the warmth that had lingered in her expression vanished as her face darkened."Are you trying to leave?"Before Silas could respond, a loud crash rang out as Nadine hurled the food container to the floor and strode toward him. Her presence was suffocating
