The reception had ended, and with it, the dazzling façade of celebration began to crumble into a hushed, somber silence. I found myself alone in a quiet corner of the grand ballroom, away from the lingering chatter and the soft clink of departing glasses. The ornate chandeliers cast a gentle, flickering light over the empty chairs and polished marble floors, and in that quiet moment, the weight of the day settled on me like a shroud.

I sank into a plush armchair near a large window, gazing out at the city lights that twinkled distantly in the night. They seemed almost unreachable—tiny beacons of freedom in a vast, dark expanse. My mind wandered through the events of the day, each memory a mixture of vivid emotions and hollow formalities. I had walked down the aisle with a heavy heart, recited vows that felt more like a surrender than a promise, and exchanged rings that now felt like chains. Every moment of that day, despite its glittering perfection, had marked another ste

  • Love and deceit    EPILOGUE

    Years passed, and the quiet peace that settled over the land after the fall of Victoria Fontaine became a beacon of hope for all who had once lived in fear. The world, once fractured by power struggles and bloodshed, was now slowly but surely beginning to heal. The wounds were deep, but the promise of a brighter future kept them moving forward.Aurora and Damien had moved far away from the ruins of the past, creating a home that was filled with laughter and love. Their bond, once forged in the fire of their shared struggles, had only grown stronger with time. It was a new chapter for both of them—a chapter that held more than just the promise of survival. It was a promise of happiness, of a life free from the shadows of those who had tried to control them.Aurora’s pregnancy had come as a surprise to both of them, but it was a welcome one. For years, she had fought to survive, to escape the grasp of those who had wanted to use her. Now, she was carrying a future of her own—a future fi

  • Love and deceit    Chapter 130

    The sound of the distant waves crashing against the cliffs echoed through the halls of the abandoned mansion, where Damien, Aurora, and Bruce stood in the quiet aftermath of their battle. The once grand estate was now a shattered monument to a dark reign that had finally crumbled.The air felt heavy, thick with the weight of what they had just endured. But it was a strange kind of silence—one that was filled with the promise of peace, of a life beyond the chaos. Yet, it was hard to forget what had been left behind.Aurora stood by the large, broken window, looking out at the ocean. The sun had begun its descent, casting a warm, golden glow over the landscape, a stark contrast to the coldness that had hung in the air moments ago. She still wore the chains that had once confined her, though now they were nothing more than a symbol of her past suffering. Her fingers brushed over them absently, but the gesture wasn’t filled with the weight of despair anymore. There was no more bitterness

  • Love and deceit    Chapter 129

    Damien’s chest heaved with each breath, the taste of blood in his mouth. He wiped his lip, his eyes narrowed, focusing on the hulking figure of Victoria’s bodyguard. The man loomed before him, an unyielding wall of muscle and fury. Every movement the bodyguard made was powerful, deadly—each strike threatening to end Damien’s life.But Damien wasn’t going down. Not now, not when Aurora was so close to freedom. He would kill this bastard if it was the last thing he did.The bodyguard lunged again, his massive fists swinging in a blur of rage. Damien had learned quickly—this guy’s power came from brute strength and size, but it was also his Achilles' heel. He was slow. Slow enough for Damien to slip past him, using his agility to stay one step ahead.Damien ducked under a swing, then twisted to the side, landing a solid punch to the bodyguard's ribs. The man grunted but didn’t falter. He was like a beast, enraged and relentless. Damien knew he had to end this quickly.Lena, Rafe, and the

  • Love and deceit    Chapter 128

    The air was thick with smoke and the pungent scent of blood as Damien and his team pushed forward, their weapons trained on the array of machinery scattered throughout the inner courtyard. The enemy's forces had been decimated, but the last line of defense was something far worse: Aurora’s machines, the heart of the operation that had kept her imprisoned, manipulating her and controlling everything from behind the scenes.Damien stood at the edge of the courtyard, his eyes scanning the massive steel behemoths that hummed menacingly in the distance. These were no ordinary machines. They were advanced, high-tech devices, designed not only to monitor but to incapacitate anyone who tried to break into the facility. But that was not what made them dangerous. What truly made them a threat was that they could control Aurora’s very mind—lock her in a mental prison that she could not escape."We need to destroy everything," Damien muttered to Rafe, his voice low and full of intent. "Burn it al

    The night exploded into chaos as the first gunshot rang out. Damien’s heart pounded in his chest, adrenaline coursing through his veins. The quiet that had settled in the estate’s outer yard moments before was shattered, replaced by the shrill sound of gunfire and the cacophony of combat. His mind sharpened, focusing entirely on the mission at hand—get Aurora out and make sure they didn’t leave anyone behind.His grip tightened around Aurora’s hand as he pulled her behind a concrete pillar, using it as cover. She was weak from her time in captivity, but she moved with him instinctively, her body pressed close to his. "Stay down," he urged, his voice tight, low.Rafe was already in action, moving swiftly along the perimeter, his gun raised, eyes scanning every shadow, every corner. The guards were everywhere now, pouring out of the estate’s back doors like a flood, weapons raised, ready for anything. They had been expecting an assault. They had been ready for them to come.Damien could

  • Love and deceit    Chapter 126

    Damien stood in front of the large map spread across the table, his finger tracing the intricate lines of the Blackwood estate. The tension in the air was palpable, the quiet before the storm. This wasn’t a simple rescue mission; it was the culmination of every choice he’d made in the last few months, every piece of the puzzle falling into place.His father, Brian, had given him the tools. His men had prepared the strategy. Now it was up to him to execute it. Damien glanced at the faces of the team gathered around him. Lena, Rafe, and the others were set, their expressions hard as stone. They were ready for this. They had to be."Everything’s in place," Lena said, breaking the silence. "The information leak has put Victoria on edge. She won’t know what hit her when we move."Damien nodded. "We have one shot at this. Once we’re in, there’s no turning back. Aurora and Bruce are our priority. Everything else comes second."Brian stepped forward, his cold gaze scanning the group. "The gua
