The chopper blades thundered overhead as Grace cradled Micah tightly to her chest, her body shielding him from the chaos of their retreat. The compound blazed behind them, Jade's fortress of lies finally crumbling to ash.

Micah’s small arms wrapped around her neck, trembling, not from the cold, but from the storm of revelations that had ripped through his young world.

She stroked his hair gently. “I’ve got you, baby. No one’s ever taking you from me again.”

Damien stood beside her, blood still smeared across his cheek, eyes on the perimeter, always the protector. Noah was at the controls, steady hands flying them across the ocean toward an uncertain dawn.

But in Grace’s arms was the one thing that now gave her purpose beyond revenge.

Her son.

Her future.

Three Weeks Later, A Private Villa in Southern Italy

Grace walked barefoot through the tiled corridors of the villa, her silk robe trailing behind her like a whisper. The morning light streamed in through open French doors, the scent

  • My Father's Rival Is My Lover    Chapter 251

    The morning after the wedding shimmered with tranquility. Birds chirped from cypress trees that framed the edge of the estate, and soft waves lapped the rocky shore below. Villa Azzurra, once a place of secrets, now breathed like a sanctuary.Alma stirred beneath cream-colored silk sheets, the sun warming her cheek. Her hand stretched instinctively to the other side of the bed.Empty.She sat up slowly, her white slip falling off one shoulder. Her fingers brushed the warm indent Julian had left. A folded note lay beside it, weighed down with a small, pale seashell.Gone for a walk. Didn’t want to wake you. You were dreaming with your eyes open. I’ll bring coffee. Love .Alma smiled and pressed the note to her lips.She rose and stepped into a long robe, tying it loosely around her waist. As she walked barefoot through the stone hall, her reflection in the antique mirrors reminded her of a life once obsessed with perfection, with image. But now she was untamed, radiant, soft in a way p

    The sun dipped low over the sapphire waters of the Mediterranean, casting a golden glow on the stone steps that led down to the private cove of Villa Azzurra. The estate, nestled among cliffs and lemon groves, had been owned by the Ashford family for generations but never used until now.Alma had chosen this place for its silence, a kind of sacred hush that reminded her of who she used to be, and who she had become.Today was her wedding day.The former heiress of a shattered empire was marrying the man born to be her enemy, Julian Vale. Except now, the names didn’t matter. Only the promise.A breeze danced across the courtyard where elegant white roses wrapped in silk swayed beside candlelit lanterns. The scent of orange blossom and sea salt filled the air. A string quartet played softly in the background as a select few guests took their seats, those who had stood by them through war and revelation.Selene, dressed in a midnight blue gown, adjusted Alma’s veil. “You ready?”Alma exh

    The echo of camera shutters still lingered in Alma’s ears as she paced the executive floor of Ashford Tower. Below her, the city roared with media frenzy. Every major news outlet had picked up her broadcast. “The Fall of the Vale Empire” trended globally. Stocks trembled. Boardrooms buzzed.But Alma couldn’t celebrate.She could feel it, the calm before a greater storm.Julian stood by the glass window, silent and still. The man she loved, the man who’d protected her, was also the son of her worst enemy. The revelation from Evelyn’s letter still hung between them like invisible barbed wire.“I meant every word out there,” Alma said without looking at him. “But it still doesn’t change what you are.”Julian turned, his voice low. “What I am is your ally. I didn't ask to be born his son.”“No. But maybe you inherited more from him than you think.”He stepped closer, jaw tightening. “You want to know what I inherited? His ruthlessness. His strategy. But I use them for you. I chose you, Al

    The moonlight spilled through the tall glass windows of the penthouse, shimmering against the marble floors and catching the dust in the air like glitter. Alma sat by the fireplace, her silk robe loosely tied, a cup of untouched black coffee beside her. She hadn’t slept since the encounter in Casablanca.Across from her, Julian paced shirtless, sweat gleaming on his toned chest, a Glock tucked into his waistband, ever-ready, ever-alert."You think she's gone for good?" Alma asked, voice low.Julian stopped pacing, his gaze dark. "Valeria doesn’t retreat. She recalibrates. That wasn’t defeat. It was a test."Alma stared into the fire. “She’s not just my sister, Julian. She’s me, rebuilt for war.”Julian walked over, crouched, and took her hand. “You’re not a machine. You bleed. You feel. That’s your power.”She didn’t reply. Not yet. Because deep down, she knew something darker was coming, something Damien had planned long before she took control of Ashford Industries. And she was righ

    Alma’s eyes hadn’t closed for more than an hour.Her body rested, but her mind ran marathons, across childhood memories, false funerals, tech blueprints, and the haunting words her father had spoken.“Only one bloodline can rebuild the world.”She stirred from the old velvet couch in the safe house and walked barefoot across the cool tiles of the balcony. Below her, Marrakesh sparkled with nightlife and movement, unaware of the war brewing in silence.Julian was already on the rooftop, facing the skyline. Shirtless. His body still marked with scars from past battles, but his mind was clearly somewhere darker.She touched his shoulder. “Can’t sleep?”He shook his head. “He’s alive. And now we know Evelyn was never dead either. What else are they hiding?”Alma hesitated. “What if there’s someone else?”Julian turned. “You mean?”She nodded. “Another Vale. Someone we don’t know about.”Two Hours Later, Underground Archive, Safe HouseSelene worked fast, decrypting one file after another.

    Alma sat in silence, the dim lights of the suite casting golden shadows across the marble floors. Outside, the world was calm. Inside her chest, a storm was brewing. Her father’s name, once buried in pain and denial, had now clawed its way back to the surface with one chilling message.“The king never left the board.”Julian stood by the fireplace, one hand pressed against the mantle, the other holding the encrypted tablet that had delivered the message. His jaw was clenched, the muscles ticking with every second of quiet.“I don’t like this,” he muttered. “Your father has been presumed dead for over ten years. No trace. No activity. Why now?”“Because I’m finally strong enough to play,” Alma said coldly, rising to her feet. She walked toward him, her silk robe floating behind her like a cape. “He was waiting. Watching. Letting me build something before he tears it down.”Julian turned to her. “Or tries to claim it.”Their eyes met, and for a second, the air between them buzzed with m
