Chapter 1040

Author: Goldfish
Gerald thought back to how he had worked to win Elijah's support, how he had pushed Christopher into an engagement with Samantha without once asking what his son wanted.

He had always believed he had handled everything perfectly. He hadn't realized Christopher had been watching the whole time.

"No matter what, he's my son. He wouldn't turn on his own blood."

There was a stubborn edge in Gerald's voice, like he was trying to convince himself.

"Chris has done everything for the Zephyr family a

So Gerald's character is more vain than we thought. He's definitely one of those corrupt politicians nowadays. LOL.

    Shane excused himself to use the restroom, then sent his assistant a voice message."Have someone follow her. Keep her in sight at all times." His voice was low and firm. "Report anything unusual immediately. And find out exactly who she's hired."He put his phone away and stared at his grim reflection in the restroom mirror.He knew Jessica well. Beneath her gentle manner, she was stubborn, and once she decided on something, talking her out of it was nearly impossible.She was determined to go into the Southreach interior to find Amelia and Christopher. But she didn't seem to understand that she could be walking straight into a trap.Early the next morning, the staging area on the outskirts of Southreach stirred to life as dawn broke.Jessica stood beside an SUV outfitted for the snow, checking her gear. Heavy winter clothing protected her from the cold, and goggles covered her eyes.More than a dozen armed men in camouflage waited behind her. They were an imposing group, t

    "You're wrong," Christopher said quietly. "You and I have never been alike."He never wanted unchecked power or a business that dominated the world. He wanted to keep Amelia safe, uncover the truth about the past, and help Zephyr Group grow without sacrificing its principles.Lincoln's expression darkened. "You're turning me down?""Yes," Christopher said. "I won't work with you."Lincoln stared at him, searching his face for any sign of doubt. Finally, he gave a cold smile. "Alright. You've got guts. I'll give you that."He retrieved his cigar from the nightstand and turned it between his fingers without lighting it. For a moment, he simply studied Christopher, his stare hard and unrelenting."If you want to make things difficult for yourself, go ahead. Let's see where that gets you." His voice went cold. "I hope you don't regret it."He turned and walked out. Once the door closed, Christopher shut his eyes and slumped against the headboard.His chest wound ached again, bu

    Shortly after Samantha left, the door quietly opened again. Lincoln strolled in without his bodyguards, wearing a tailored black trench coat with the collar open.He held an unlit cigar between his fingers and looked faintly amused. Crossing to the window, he turned his back on Christopher."Samantha's offer doesn't sound so bad." His low, slightly raspy voice broke the silence. "An engagement, a wedding, a move overseas. Leave all this behind and start over."Christopher rested against the headboard, his face still pale. He watched Lincoln coldly."You didn't come here to help her convince me."Their alliance was a matter of convenience. Lincoln and Samantha each wanted something from the other, and neither had any reason to be loyal.Lincoln chuckled and turned, appraising Christopher as though he were something valuable he hoped to acquire.He settled into the chair beside the bed and set his cigar on the nightstand. His fingers tapped steadily against the armrest, an irrit

    Lincoln surveyed the room, looking amused. When he turned to Samantha, there was a hint of admiration in his voice. "You're even more ruthless than I am."He gave her a few slow claps, as if applauding a performance. "The Zephyr fortune and Christopher himself. You really do want everything."Samantha faced him. "That's only the beginning. I'm taking back everything the Bloom family lost, piece by piece."Lincoln raised an eyebrow. "And when he recovers? Aren't you worried he'll come after you? Because if he does, you're finished."Samantha glanced at Christopher and smiled, her gaze lingering on him with possessive intensity."You think that scares me?" she asked quietly. "It hasn't for a long time."She studied his pale face. "As long as he stays with me, as long as I don't have to share him, I don't care what happens to me. I'd go to hell for that."Christopher looked at Amelia, unable to hide his guilt and anguish. He opened his mouth, but no words came.Giving in would

    Christopher went pale as he stared at Amelia. He struggled to his feet, and fresh blood seeped through the gauze on his chest as the movement strained his wound.At the sight of her injuries, his composure fell apart. Anguish and fury crossed his face, followed by a helplessness he couldn't hide."Christopher." Samantha smiled as she lifted the whip, taking her time. "Look at her. The woman you love, completely at my mercy."She spoke lightly, knowing how much it would hurt him. "I decide what happens to her. To both of you."Christopher clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms until they bled. His expression hardened as he turned to Samantha."What do you want?""It's simple." She stepped closer, watching him with an intensity that made her obsession plain. "End things with Amelia. Get engaged to me and come back to my family as my future husband. Agree, and I'll let her go right now. I won't touch her again."She paused, a cruel smile spreading across her face.

    Samantha swung before she finished speaking. The whip whistled through the air and struck Amelia across the back with a sharp crack.It tore through her thin hospital gown, and pain seared across her back. Amelia jerked, sweat breaking out over her skin, but she clenched her teeth and held back a cry.She couldn't control the way her body tensed, though. Every movement sent fresh pain through her back, and Samantha took obvious pleasure in watching her struggle to stay silent.She swung again and again, growing more vicious with each blow. Bloody welts spread across Amelia's back, arms, and legs."Beg me to stop!" Samantha shouted, her eyes bloodshot. "Ask me to spare you! Ask me to spare Christopher! Come on, let me hear it, and I'll stop!"Amelia struggled to stay conscious. Her vision dimmed, and she could barely think through the pain.Still, she kept her teeth clenched, biting her lip until it bled. When she finally spoke, her voice was barely audible. "In...your dreams."

    "Was that Nicole?" Jasper guessed from the look on Amelia's face."Yeah," Amelia answered him as she kept her phone away. She explained sardonically, "She called to gloat about her two new partners and asked us to join their celebration dinner tonight.""Hah…" Jasper chuckled. "She might be capabl

    Amelia really didn't want to go back to that house."What are you talking about? You're Mrs. Zephyr. Nothing can be too troublesome when your health is on the line. That'll save you a trip to the hospital when you're already working so hard. That settles it, you hear me?" Dorothy said sternly.She

    Christopher didn't give Amelia a choice.His car sped forward. If Amelia didn't give way to him, both cars would crash.Amelia's face darkened as she neared the cliff wall, the car body shaking violently. The steering wheel seemed to have a mind of its own as she tried her best to hold it steady.
