Celeste sat within the backseat of the black sedan, her hands gripping the edge of her coat. Rain pattered in opposition to the home windows like fearful fingertips. The driver hadn't started a word since picking her up. Just a nod and the engine starting.

This was risky. Stupid, even.

But the Viper had promised something no one else could.

Her mother.

Still alive.

The car stopped outside a sleek glass hotel in the business district—one she’d seen in newspapers. Too clean. Too polished. It was the kind of place where secrets hid behind five-star service and golden keycards.

The driver opened her door, and she stepped into the cold. In the penthouse, the Viper stood with the aid of the window, a wine glass in his hand, untouched. He didn’t smile. He didn’t offer a greeting. Just motioned for her to come closer.

“You came,” he said finally.

“I want proof,” she replied. “No games.”

“Good,” he said, setting down the glass. “Then I won’t waste time.”

He tossed a folder onto the table

    The mountains were still, wrapped in a soft fog. The sun peeked over the ridgeline as Celeste walked beside Damien toward the rebel safehouse’s command center. They had barely slept. Too many secrets. Too many revelations. And now, they needed answers.Inside, Emilia stood over a massive digital map projected on the wall. Aurora and two tech specialists sat at a table with tablets and open files. A red dot blinked on one of the maps.Emilia looked up. "You're just in time. We found something."Celeste crossed her arms. "Found what?"Aurora tapped the screen. "A server hidden in Geneva. A storage unit linked to the Viper’s last known accounts. Encrypted, but it matches some of the financial signatures from your mother's original ledgers."Damien leaned forward. "What does it hold?"Emilia stepped in. "The final ledger."Celeste blinked. "The one he used to control governments and banks?""Yes," Emilia said. "It’s not just a book of names. It's access. Control of a hidden financial netw

  • Ruthless Vows: The Billionaire Revenge   Chapter 39: Unholy Alliances

    Damien clenched his jaw as he held the guidance wheel tightly while the typhoon raged out of doors.Every other typhoon changed into building up in his coronary heart.Celeste could see he was tense. But she remained silent, feeling tense and tightly coiled beside him.The rain fell hard on the car windows, streaking as it poured down.The typhoon intensified as if mirroring the storm inside Damien.Celeste seemed out the window, misplaced in her very own mind, as the silence stretched on.Finally, she asked. "Where are we going?""To see someone that I promised I would never see again," Damien said flatly.Celeste looked over at him. "Your mother?"Damien nodded once, the weight of the moment heavy. "She’s the only one who can apply pressure on the Viper. Right now, we don’t have any other options."Celeste felt a strange constriction in her chest. Damien hates to talk about his family, especially his mother. Each time he spoke about his mom, it changed into acrimonious bitterness.Th

  • Ruthless Vows: The Billionaire Revenge   Chapter 38: Public Enemy

    The morning after the Viper’s video leak, the world turned on Celeste.The dreaded, bloodied and wide-eyed image of her father was repeatedly shown on the clip on various TVs, all across the world. She was surprised by what she saw. Her father that was previously seen as the victim is now portrayed as a murderer. Bold fonts shouted headlines:"Celeste Moreau: Daughter of a Murderer?""Legacy or Lie: Who Is Celeste Really?""Blood on Her Name?"Celeste sat frozen in the small living room of the safehouse. The TV was muted, but the damage had already been done. Her face was everywhere. Her name had been poisoned. Her bloodline shattered.Damien entered the room and turned off the screen. He remained silent. His expression was void as he looked at her."It’s all in the open," she whispered. "Now, everyone thinks I knew."He came closer. "We’ll fix this.""How? They think I’m the enemy now."Damien sat beside her. "Let them. We’ll survive this together."But even his voice sounded tired.

    The rain was pouring heavily outside. Celeste got out of the car. She had hair stuck to her face and her dress to her body. She was shivering..She had made the choice. She had left her mother’s rebellion camp. She had chosen Damien.Now she had to face him.The house was quiet. Too quiet. She entered and shut the door behind her. The marble ground had grimy marks from her boots."Damien?" she rang out.No reaction.Her heart was bumping blood faster than usual. She walked carefully down the corridor.He was sitting in the study.His face came into view as he was lightly tilting the drink in his hand and eyes fixed on the dancing flames when she opened the door.He didn't raise his head or make a sound.“I thought you left me,” he said.“I came back,” she replied.He finally turned to face her. His eyes were red. “Why did you go?”“I had to see her,” Celeste said. “I had to know if she was really alive. If everything is true.”“And was it?” he asked bitterly.She nodded slowly. “Yes.”

  • Ruthless Vows: The Billionaire Revenge   Chapter 36: Mother Of Deception

    Chapter 36: Mother Of Deception The room was cold. Not just from the air, but from the silence between them. Celeste stood in front of her mother. Emilia. Alive. Real. But not the woman she remembered. She looked at her now—dressed in all black, her eyes hard, her lips tight. There was no smile, no warmth. Just a calm coldness that scared Celeste more than anything else. "Sit," Emilia said. Celeste didn’t move. “You planned everything?” “Yes.” “You started the war?” “Yes.” “Why?” Emilia walked over to a small table and poured herself tea like this was just a simple chat. “Because I knew no one else could.” Celeste shook her head. “You faked your death. You left me. You used Isla.” Emilia sipped her tea. “You were too soft. I had to push you to become strong.” Celeste stepped forward. “You don’t get to decide that.” “I do,” Emilia said. “Because I made you. And now, I need you to finish what I started.” Celeste’s heart pounded. “You want me to take over the war?” “Y

  • Ruthless Vows: The Billionaire Revenge   Chapter 35: The Exchange

    The coast turned dark and quiet. Waves crashed against the rocks like distant thunder. Celeste stood at the threshold of the cliff, her boots sinking into moist sand. Midnight. The time had come.She held the flash drive in her coat. It felt heavier than it should. She had memorized the files—every name, every lie. But the drive itself was a key. A ticket. A threat.Her phone buzzed.“Walk down the path. Come alone.”She turned to glance at the road behind her. No Damien. No backup.She had made sure of that.“I’m coming, Isla,” she whispered, and stepped into the shadows.---The trail led to a small dock. A boat was waiting. Two masked men stood beside it. One held a gun, the other motioned for her to board.“No weapons,” the man said.Celeste lifted her arms and let them search her. They took her phone and the small knife hidden in her boot. She didn’t fight it.They shoved her into the boat.The engine started. The boat cut through the black water like a silent arrow. No one spoke.
