LANA

The moment I heard that, I wasn’t surprised. I already knew he would act the instant I texted him. I didn’t expect him to be so swift and decisive.

“Just let them be,” I told Edward.

Although he was unhappy about their presence, he managed to continue the conversation. As we moved through the store, I went about picking up the items I needed.

His trolley remained empty despite us pushing it around for nearly twenty minutes. I began to wonder if he was actually here to shop at all.

Thirty minutes later, I finished gathering everything I wanted. Turning to Edward, I asked, “Aren’t you going to get anything for yourself?”

He looked at me with a troubled expression before replying, “I’ve always found it difficult to find clothes that fit me properly. Maybe you could help me choose.”

I hesitated, unsure of what to say. Doing so might put me in a difficult position. “Don’t you think that’s inappropriate?” I asked.

Edward insisted, “Of course not. We’re friends. I just need your help pi

  • ON THE BRUTAL BILLIONAIRE'S BED   Chapter 149: Explosions

    LANAAt that moment, my worry for Maximum deepened, suspecting he might be walking straight into a trap set by Edward.I pleaded desperately, “Can you stop this madness? I’ll go anywhere you want—just please, spare him.”I thought my words might sway Edward, but instead, they ignited his jealousy further. His face contorted with rage as he barked at me, “You’re willing to throw your life away for him? Does he even deserve your love? Huh? How blind and stupid can you be, giving your heart to a damn murderer? He deserves to die unhappy, a resentful ghost. Love and happiness are beyond his reach.”His bloodshot eyes stared into mine, causing confusion to flood my mind. I’d always believed I was the reason Edward hated Maximum, but his furious outburst made me realize there was more beneath the surface.Before I could finish my thought, Edward shot a glance at the floor, startling me. His expression was cold, and he warned, “Don’t ever call him your husband again—not before me.”He then r

    MAXIMUMIn that moment, I felt fear for the first time. My eyes darkened, and my mind raced with questions—who could have done this? The police officer noticed my change in mood."Sir, since you've identified the body, we’d like to ask you a few questions to assist with the investigation," he said cautiously.I looked at him, my voice cold. "Where is my wife?"He hesitated, confused. I wasn’t in the mood for delays. I pointed at the corpse. "That man lying there is my wife’s driver. Now, tell me—where is she?"Realization dawned on the officer’s face. He explained, "When we arrived, we only found the body. We have no idea where your wife is, but we’re still investigating. However—"I cut him off sharply. "My P.A. and my lawyer will handle the rest. I need to find my wife."Without another word, I turned and left the police station. As I stepped outside, my men were already in position. Several cars were parked nearby, and my phone was ringing nonstop. I had already mobilized my team,

    LANAEdward looked at me with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile—more like a sneer. “Don’t blame me,” he said coldly, “blame yourself for making the wrong decisions.”I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, unsure what he meant. “What wrong decision are you talking about?” I asked, curiosity creeping into my voice.He took a large stride closer, his eyes gleaming with something unreadable. “When I asked you to divorce your husband, you refused. You’re too stubborn. You’ve made it impossible to win you over. What do you see in Maximum that you can’t let go of, Lana?”I drew a deep breath, trying to steady myself. I didn’t believe Edward would go so far without my father’s approval. Somehow, I felt no real disappointment—my father’s morality was questionable at best.“Did my dad make you do this?” I asked quietly, voice trembling slightly.Edward’s eyes flickered with amusement. He burst into laughter, a cold, echoing sound. With one hand in his pocket, he looked at me with a mocking smile.

    LANAHis face suddenly creased into a frown as he seemed lost in thought.“I doubted I ever truly loved Stella,” he said slowly. “When I found out where she was, I didn’t rush to approach her. Instead, I investigated thoroughly how she had lived her life over the past years. And honestly, I was disgusted. That’s why I came to you.” He paused, raising his hand to look at me as he spoke.I wasn't surprised when he said that—he had never once introduced my mother to anyone, and he made sure she never appeared in public as his wife. He never married her, fooling her all along.“Why did you keep her around and make her believe she had a real chance with you? Don’t you think deceiving her like that is inhumane?” I asked, my voice steady but heavy with emotion. I could feel the pain Stella must have endured when she discovered that the man she gave her all to wasn’t even interested in her.Understanding dawned on me—the way she must have felt before her death, her desperation, and her aggres

    LANAMy dad turned to Maximum and said, "Allow my daughter to come home regularly. She needs to visit her father and also bring warmth to the house with her presence."Maximum nodded and replied simply, "She will."My dad then pulled me into an embrace. Although I felt a wave of discomfort and irritation in his arms, he probably sensed it, because the hug was brief. Stepping back, he said softly, "It’s good to see you doing well, Lana. Sit down; we need to talk."Maximum moved to my side and gently pecked my cheek before announcing, "I’ll be in my study." I nodded, watching as he ascended the staircase, leaving me alone with my father in the sitting room. As soon as I sat down, he broke the silence.“You don’t want to visit the mansion because of what I did, do you?” he asked suddenly.Knowing my father well—he’s a very perceptive man—he must have already figured it out on his own. I didn’t bother denying it. “Dad, whenever I visit the mansion, I’m always reminded of Mom.”He fell sil
