CHAPTER 98

AUTHOR'S POV

Jake walked into the company with his head held high. The hallway was busy, people moving back and forth, voices low but constant. He stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the 11th floor. The doors were almost shut when a black bag slid between them, stopping the close.

Alicia stepped in, her usual big hat sitting low over her face. She gave Jake a smile, and he returned it with only a raised brow, but something flickered across his expression, but he quickly masked it, trying to act cool.

She walked forward and pressed the 11th floor too.

The door slid closed, the elevator humming as it began to move. Alicia turned slightly toward Jake, her lips parting like she wanted to speak, but she swallowed the words when she saw he wasn’t looking at her.

She faced forward again.

"You're Thorne’s son, right?" she asked finally, her voice calm.

Jake stayed silent for a few moments before answering.

"And who are you?" his tone was flat.

    Chapter 101Lorenzo’s POVI glared at Regina, who was sitting at the edge of the bed, her hands resting lightly on her lap as if she owned the place.“Do you know I never understood why you came here in the first place?” I asked, my voice low but edged with irritation.She tilted her head slightly, watching me like she was trying to read my face.“What? Do you want to change the subject now? Where were you yesterday?” she asked, her tone sharp.I let out a slow breath, trying to keep my temper in check. “Are you seriously asking that? Do I need to answer that?” My patience was wearing thin already.Her obsession with me lately has become nothing but a nuisance. At first, I kept her around to use her, to try and forget Sienna. But now… I didn’t need her anymore. No matter what I did, I could never push Sienna out of my mind. She was there every second, in every breath I took.“Your job is done here. You don’t need to pretend anymore. Go tell Thorne I don’t need his help. And if any of

    Chapter 100SIENNA'S POV."Where were you last night?" I asked, glaring hard at Evelyn, who was hiding behind Lina while I stood by the door, blocking the way.Before she could say a word, Rosa walked in, shoving me slightly to the side as she went in."Do you know what we had to go through last night because of Evelyn?" Lina snapped, and my eyes shifted to her.“What do you mean?” I tilted my head slightly, my eyes narrowing on her."We went to the hospital! We called your number but you didn’t pick up! She was on the floor, curled up, because of her menstrual cramps!" she said, her voice rising.My eyes widened and I quickly pushed past her, moving to Evelyn."Does it still hurt? Do you still feel pain? How are you feeling now?" I rushed out the questions, my words tumbling over each other. I had been ready to yell at her the moment she came back, but just looking at her now, I couldn’t.I could imagine the pain she must have gone through last night while I was with Lorenzo."I'm fi

    Chapter 99Author's pov.“What!!” Bryan asked, his face widening in horror. The person who had gone to bring the gun returned, handing it to Ryder. Bryan’s throat went dry as he swallowed hard, his eyes locked on him.Before Bryan could react, Ryder pointed the gun straight at him. Bryan’s chest tightened. He closed his eyes hard, his body trembling where he knelt on the cold floor. His palms pressed to the ground, fingers digging into the dirt as if it could save him.“I’m sorry… don’t kill… me,” he muttered, his voice shaking, still keeping his eyes shut.“What? Are you scared to die? Why?” Ryder’s voice carried a mocking edge, like he was enjoying every drop of fear in the room. His eyes stayed on Bryan, soaking in the sight of him breaking.“Why shouldn’t I kill you? You’re no use. You’ll become a threat in the future.” His voice turned colder as he pressed the muzzle closer, the cold metal kissing Bryan’s temple. Bryan flinched at the touch, his head pounding with panic.“I will

    Chapter 97Sienna’s POV“Are you okay?” Lorenzo asked, locking my legs tight around his waist.We were heading back to my room after I went to the mart to get my phone. Luckily for me, I found it lying exactly where I had placed it earlier.“Hm,” I replied quietly. Honestly, it felt awkward being on his back like this while he acted like it was nothing.“You shouldn’t have followed me in the first place, and this wouldn’t have happened,” he said.“I wasn’t following you,” I lied, even though I knew he saw through me. I just didn’t want to admit it.“Am I not heavy?” I asked, my face leaning closer to the back of his neck without thinking. I could feel the warmth of his skin through his shirt.“This isn’t the first time I’ve carried you, Sienna,” he replied, and a heat rose to my cheeks.Did he really have to be so blunt? Why did he sound so casual about everything? He wasn’t even talking about us anymore. Maybe there was never really an us to begin with.I pressed my lips together and

    Chapter 96Sienna’s POV“So you think this is the one?” I asked Lian, leaning slightly over his shoulder to get a better look at the laptop.He made a low sound in his throat. “Hm.”My eyes stayed on the blurry image on the screen, my chest feeling heavy with curiosity.I had come to their room a few minutes ago the moment I heard that Lian had found something.“The person in those video… it looks the same,” I murmured, tilting my head a little. “But where’s Kai?”Lian parted his lips to reply, but before he could, the door to their room swung open. Noah stepped in, his shoulders sagging, his face carrying a dull, heavy look that instantly pulled my attention away from the screen.“What happened, Noah?” I asked the moment I noticed.“I’m fine, thank you,” he said flatly. Without another word, he climbed onto the bed and pulled the blanket all the way over his head, shutting me off, without even telling me to shut up. I sighed and let go. If he wanted to talk, he would.Turning my gaz
