“What the hell, Shifu, where have you lost yourself?” another voice scolded me.

It was Eva.

I realized with a jolt that I was moments away from tumbling down a set of stairs if the person who grabbed me hadn't intervened.

I quickly wiped my tears, trying to calm myself.

I looked at the stranger who had saved me, offering him a grateful smile. I felt as though I'd seen him somewhere before, but my mind was too clouded to recall.

I genuinely thanked him for saving me from a mishap.

Eva looked genuinely worried.

“I… I’m fine… Eva…… I was just… nothing… I have to go… just tell Momma and Dada. Jake is waiting for me outside.” I lied in an attempt escape from there.

Eva sighed, a look of exasperation mixed with concern.

I glanced back at the man, who was now looking beyond me, gesturing to someone I couldn’t see. When I turned, there was no one there. I looked back at him suspiciously, but he just smiled. It felt as though the entire world was conspiring against me.

“Fu, I want to intr

  • KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL   CHAPTER 91: Wheel of Schemes

    The marble halls of the Knight Mansion echoed with the faint squeak of wheels as Damon was moved slowly toward his room, his figure slouched in the wheelchair yet radiating authority. The nurse pushed him forward, her steps cautious, while Alex trailed behind, his voice edged with concern.“D… are you sure you’re in any state to host this celebration?” Alex asked, his tone wavering between worry and irritation.Damon didn’t bother to answer. His eyes remained fixed ahead, his hand lifting slightly — a silent gesture for the nurse to keep moving.Alex’s patience snapped.“What the fuck, Damon? What are you up to now? What scheme are you plotting, you asshole?” His words were sharp, laced with anger, but Damon’s silence only deepened the tension.Finally, Damon’s voice cut through the air, low and deliberate.“Is Nic still here… or has he left?”The question hung heavy in the room, cold and calculated, leaving Alex momentarily stunned. Damon’s mind was already elsewhere — weaving thread

    Jenny’s tone sharpened as she leaned in.“Now brace yourself, Shifu… for Ryan and Amara.”Naina’s eyes gleamed with contempt.“They’re the archetype of spoiled heirs in a fractured dynasty. Damon wasn’t lying — Amara is his half‑sister. And except for Ryan, every other member of the Williams family despises Damon. They’d never miss a chance to conspire against him. It’s a nest of vipers — power‑hungry, money‑minded imbeciles, brutalizing one another for inheritance and control. The older generation and the younger alike. No loyalty, only greed.”She paused, then dissected the family politics with surgical precision.“Ryan is the youngest of them all, even younger than Amara. His father married beneath the family’s expectations — a doctor from Trinity Health Care Group, where he himself was Managing Director. That marriage was seen as a scandal in their circles. His mother clawed her way into acceptance, conniving, currying favor, and pushing Ryan into Damon’s orbit. Damon was the blac

    Jenny’s voice dropped, conspiratorial and gleeful, like she was savoring every word.“Shifu… brace yourself. Next is Annaida."Naina added, "Well, Annaida’s life isn’t the glossy perfection the magazines sell. The Almighty heiress turned supermodel. We dug deeper, and what we found could annihilate her completely.”Davina’s brows furrowed, irritation giving way to reluctant curiosity.“What could possibly ruin a supermodel? They survive scandals every other week.”Naina leaned forward, her tone sharp, precise, almost surgical.“This isn’t the usual tabloid fodder. Annaida’s entire career is built on a façade — the flawless face, the untouchable brand. Behind the cameras, she’s been nothing but Damon’s prized commodity. She isn’t just a model; she’s one of his exclusive products. Only the most powerful men are granted access to her, and that’s how she’s maintained her position at the top. She’s sold her body for influence, traded dignity for contracts, and licked the boots of men in po

    Naina’s voice was steady, but her words landed like a thunderclap.“Eva and Ryan… they have a son. A seven‑year‑old boy. So now you know why she left you, why she never stood for you.”Davina froze, her breath catching in her throat. Shock was too small a word for what she felt. Her heart slammed against her ribs, her mind spinning.“What? Are you kidding me?” she snapped, her voice rising, disbelief laced with fury.Jenny leaned in, her expression grave. “Nope. It’s true. I believe that’s the reason she left abruptly without telling you anything. But things don’t end there…”Naina's tone darkened as she continued.“Ryan had multiple affairs — still does. Eva was never accepted by the Ryans' family, her status in their family is more that of a nanny, at least that's what I understood from my intel. And approximately a year after Shefali’s death, Eva was hospitalized. The reports claimed food poisoning, but in reality… it was a suicide attempt or worse murder attempt, I am not sure. An

    The afternoon sun streamed through the wide windows, casting a warm glow across the dining table where the three women sat. Plates had been cleared, coffee cups lingered, and laughter still echoed faintly from their earlier banter. Jenny leaned forward, her eyes sparkling with mischief, while Naina tapped her fingers against her laptop, barely containing her excitement.“Shifu,” Jenny began, her tone playful, “you won’t believe what we’ve been up to while you were snoring away like Sleeping Beauty.”Naina grinned, chiming in, “We’ve practically turned into detectives. Ryan and Eva’s lives are an open book now, and Jenny’s been digging into Annaida and Amara like a hawk. You should’ve seen the files we pulled together.”Davina’s smile faltered, her brows knitting as she sat straighter.“Detectives, huh? And all while I was wasting half a day in bed.” Her voice sharpened, scolding but tinged with frustration.“Do you two even realize how important each day is for me right now? The gala

    The morning light filtered softly through the curtains, painting the room in muted gold. Davina lay sound asleep, her breathing steady, her face finally free of the tension that had haunted her through the night. After hours of pouring out her pain, her vulnerabilities, and the trauma she had carried for years, exhaustion had claimed her completely.Jenny and Naina stirred quietly, careful not to wake her. They exchanged a glance — unspoken agreement passing between them. Today would not be a day of endless meetings or corporate battles. Today was for Davina.They moved with quiet efficiency. Jenny slipped into the kitchen, preparing a simple breakfast, the kind that would comfort rather than overwhelm. Naina, meanwhile, had already arranged for a doctor to visit. She administered the prescribed shots while Davina slept, ensuring her healing would begin without her even realizing it.By the time the sun rose higher, both women had reassigned their workloads to trusted subordinates.
