The iron gate closed behind us with a dull sound, and only then did I breathe properly. "Breathe," I told her softly as I guided her through the corridor. "You're safe now."She didn't reply immediately. Her face was pale, her lips pressed together in an effort to stay composed. I noticed the slight tremble in her shoulders and slowed my steps, adjusting my pace to hers. Every step she took looked heavier than the last."They won't stop, will they?" she finally asked, her voice barely above a whisper."Not today," I said honestly. "But you don't have to face them alone."She looked at me then, really looked at me, and for a moment I forgot everything else. The castle felt too quiet, too still, as if it was holding its breath along with us. I wanted to say more, wanted to promise things I wasn’t sure I could keep, so I sta
Chapter 191|| REINALDO’S POV ||Christen backed off the moment he saw Seth standing beside me. I noticed it in the way his shoulders stiffened, in the way his eyes flicked from Seth to me and then away. He did not say anything. He did not need to. His silence was louder than any threat he could have made. I did not wait to see if he would change his mind. I turned around and walked straight back into the hospital.The smell of antiseptic hit me the moment I stepped inside. My feet moved on their own, carrying me through the familiar corridor toward her room. Every second felt heavier than the last. When I reached the door, I paused, my hand resting on the handle. I exhaled slowly before pushing it open.Anastasia lay on the bed, her face pale but calmer than before. The machines beside her made steady sounds, a rhythm that told me she was still here. Still breathing. Still fighting. My chest loosened just a little as I walked closer.“You’re back,” she said softly, turning her head t
Chapter 190|| REINALDO’S POV ||I didn’t hear Marcel at first. My mind was too focused on the pale stillness of Anastasia’s face, on the way her fingers lay unmoving over the white sheets, on the thin tubes and wires attached to her body. I clenched my jaw, fighting the rage and fear twisting inside my chest.“Boss.”Marcel’s voice finally reached me.I turned slowly. The expression on his face was tight, controlled—but I had worked with him long enough to recognize the signs. Something was wrong. Very wrong.“What is it?” I asked.He stepped closer, lowering his voice instinctively, even though no one was around. “Christen is coming.”The words didn’t register immediately.“Coming where?” I asked, even though some part of me already knew the answer.“Here,” Marcel said. “To the hospital.”The corridor seemed to narrow suddenly, the walls closing in. My fingers curled slowly into fists.“He’s not alone,” Marcel continued. “He’s bringing his gang with him. Fully armed.”For a brief mo
Chapter 189|| REINALDO'S POV ||I dialed Ryan's number, staring at the screen as the phone rang. My fingers tightened around the edge of the phone, but I knew I had to do this. His angry face had been burned into my mind after our last confrontation, and I couldn’t afford to let him get away with targeting Anastasia. He had crossed a line, and now, it was my turn to make him pay.The call finally connected, and I heard his voice on the other end, cold and full of bitterness.“Ryan,” I said, my voice even but firm. “You shouldn’t have targeted Anastasia. Now, you’re going to pay the price for it.”There was a long pause on the other end. I could practically feel the tension in the air, even through the phone. I could picture him standing there, glaring at me, fuming with anger. He hated me, that much was clear. But he hated Anastasia more. And that would be his undoing.“I should have known you'd be the one behind this,” he spat, his words laced with venom. “What do you think, Reinald
Chapter 184|| Anastasia's POV ||I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I watched Seth stand there, the gun still pointed at Reinaldo. The tension was thick, and for a moment, it felt as if time itself had frozen. Seth’s eyes were filled with a mix of anger and something else, something dar
Chapter 186|| REINALDO'S POV ||As I moved through the sea of people, I could feel their admiration, their eyes scanning me as if searching for something. They saw a leader, a figure of power, but they didn't see the real me. I was just another person doing what had to be done for the greater good
Chapter 175|| ANASTASIA’S POV ||Reinaldo was nearby.He looked like a man already half-dead. His shoulders were slumped, his hands loose at his sides, his eyes empty in a way that scared me more than rage ever could. Guilt clung to him like a shadow. He didn’t look at anyone. He didn’t speak. He
Chapter 179|| REINALDO’S POV ||I hadn’t expected the city to sound like that.“Best wife,” someone shouted from far below.Another voice answered, louder. “She has a heart.”A pause.
