The first thing I did was send a message to Cassian through Maurice—the safest connection, since Harry wasn't at the mansion. Then I quickly wrote the response the Wards most wanted to hear: my desperate plea for help, where I begged for my life, repentant for having turned against them and sided with Cassian.

When Maurice returned, I already had a few more messages that needed to be delivered urgently.

I extended the first envelope. "This must be delivered only into my grandfather's hands; no

  • My heart surrendered to the Boss   Chapter 138: A Song of Freedom

    Cassian’s men took Daniel outside, throwing him into a red van. My grandfather remained completely silent the entire time, watching with a tense jaw and knuckles white from the force with which he gripped his cane. I approached, touching his cold skin with the tips of my fingers. He looked at me for a long moment and sighed, as if he were too tired, defeated.“Now I can understand,” he said in a low whisper. He covered my hand with his, giving it light pats. “This is what she was running from.”“Mom was a strong woman. She always was, even in her final moments,” I said, trying to comfort my grandfather, but he shook his head in denial.“No, my child, that’s not what I mean.” He gripped my shoulder firmly and gave me a sad smile. “What she didn’t want was for her children to get involved in this world, the way she was drawn into it. She didn’t want this life for you. Now I understand her.” My grandfather’s eyes fell to the floor covered in dried blood.We left the mansion in silence. S

    “It’s a lie. You’d never have the guts to do something like that.” I tilted my head to the side and extended my hand toward Diane. Her eyes widened as I grabbed her hair with brutal force and yanked it upward. “Let me go! That hurts!”“I took a bread knife, using a moment of carelessness when Daniel brought me food, and hid it. Liam showed up drunk, convinced I was too weak and vulnerable to defend myself.” I pulled Diane’s hair harder, exposing her neck and pressing the gun exactly where I had stabbed Liam. “Right here. The blood spread fast across the floor while he tried to cover the wounds with his hands.”“My Liam… my boy.” Diane cried, tears smearing her heavy makeup.“You know what the best part is? The idiots he bribed got so scared they set the whole place on fire, destroying every trace that I’d been there and giving me the chance to escape. I think I should thank Liam—because if it weren’t for his stupidity, I’d still be trapped in that hole.”“Kill me already! Just end it!

  • My heart surrendered to the Boss   Chapter 136: I Killed

    I tried to stand up and run, but Daniel grabbed my hair, yanking me back and throwing me to the floor, far from the front door. I fell on my shoulder, the dry thud of my body hitting the smooth floor echoing.“Daniel, please.” I tried to speak, but a hard slap across my face silenced me.My vision darkened, the cold feel of the floor against my cheek as a thin ringing echoed in my ears.“You ran from me, Lilian. From the only person who loves you in this entire world.” He grabbed my hair again, pulling me up. “You need to learn that you can’t do things like that.”“And you’re going to learn to beg for your life,” I said through gritted teeth.Daniel looked at me, raising his hand above his head, ready to deliver another slap to my face, but the only thing that happened was the sound of a gunshot. I slumped to the floor when he released me and rolled away, only to be pulled back immediately. When I lifted my face, I saw Daniel on the ground, clutching his bleeding hand while Cassian ap

"This must be delivered only into my grandfather's hands; no one else can have access to the information contained in this envelope." Maurice took the paper, his expression hard and focused. I extended the second envelope. "This is for Mr. Jack Harris and only into his hands." Maurice nodded and left immediately.I knew my messages would arrive much faster than the response to the Wards, but I still felt nervous and anxious, thinking about everything that could go wrong."It's going to be okay. It has to work." I repeated those words like a prayer, interl

    "But..." I hesitated, thinking about all the variables that could happen and put Cassian at risk. He cupped my face in his hands. The touch was rough, a bit coarse, but still comforting to me."Don't you trust me?" he asked in a low tone. I quickly shook my head, denying such a question.I covered his hands with mine, my heart racing, overflowing with so many emotions that it was difficult for me to explain them clearly, but the one that stood out the most was relief. The feeling of freedom I'd sought for so long, the sensation of finally being free. I let out a long breath, closing my eyes as I rested my head in Cassian's hands."It's not that I don't trust you. I've already seen your skills up close. What scares me is that all this might be a dream. I'm afraid of waking up in that small room, smelling of dust and mold, with Diane and Liam's screams. I'm afraid Daniel is waiting for me at the door with that fake smile and poisonous words." I opened my eyes, lifted my head, and looked

    The news slowed down over time. What was once the biggest scandal of all time became mentions of arrests, trials, and gossip. Everything calmed for several days, but Cassian was gone for days at a time, only returning to change clothes. I hadn't heard from him since the promise of our date, which left me more and more agitated.I was changing bandages on some of the injured, with Amy and Chloe helping, when my grandfather appeared. The atmosphere tensed immediately. Those with light injuries stood from their beds as a sign of respect to the man entering imposingly, even with difficulty moving and leaning on a cane.I smiled, feeling a spark of pride in my chest for how everyone still respected that old gentleman.I wiped my hands and went to him with the best forced smile I could manage."You could have called me. There was no need to come all the way here," I said while offering my arm to help him walk. The old man smiled crookedly, his eyes shining slightly."It's truly impressive,"
