The city woke up to a different kind of balance.

From the outside, nothing appeared to have changed. Traffic still flowed past La Rivera, the lights still glowed at dusk, and the building across the street remained quiet, almost deceptively so. But beneath that calm sat a reality only a few understood: the ground had shifted, and Elena now controlled more than just influence. She controlled positioning.

Inside La Rivera, the day unfolded with precision.

Meetings began early. Curators moved through the halls with renewed confidence, artists rehearsed without distraction, and staff worked with the assurance of people who knew they were protected by leadership that thought three steps ahead. Elena walked through the space slowly, acknowledging people with a nod or a brief word, her presence steadying the room without demanding attention.

She did not announce her victory.

She never did.

Instead, she focused on what came next.

Expansion brought new risks. Owning the building across the str

  • SILENT BETWEEN TWO HEARTS   CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN" : Anticipate!

    The city did not sleep, but it watched.From the glass walls of La Rivera, the skyline shimmered with false calm, lights steady, traffic flowing, music drifting upward from distant lounges. To anyone else, it looked like momentum. To Elena, it felt like the held breath before a storm.She had learned something crucial in the past weeks: her rival was not reckless. He was deliberate. And deliberate enemies did not rush their victories they engineered them.That understanding reshaped everything.Elena convened a closed-door meeting with her core team the next morning. No assistants. No phones on the table. Just faces she trusted and minds she respected.“La Rivera is not under siege,” she began calmly. “But it is being tested. And tests are meant to reveal weaknesses or confirm strength.”She outlined the strategy in layers. Public confidence. Operational unpredictability. Legal insulation. Media presence without vulnerability. Each decision was framed not as defense, but as posture.“

    The days that followed the confrontation did not explode into chaos the way most people would have expected.Instead, everything became sharper.Elena moved through La Rivera with heightened awareness, her senses tuned not to fear but to pattern. Every greeting, every meeting request, every delayed email, she weighed them carefully. The faceless rival had stepped forward, and that alone changed the terrain. Shadows were easier to fight than men who believed they were untouchable.She would remind him otherwise.Security at La Rivera was reinforced quietly. No dramatic announcements. No visible guards that would unsettle visitors. Instead, access protocols were updated, surveillance systems refined, and internal movement tracked with surgical precision. Elena trusted her peoplee but she trusted verification more.Harry watched her closely during this period. Not with concern, but with respect. This was a side of Elena he had glimpsed before during the Helen crisis, but never at this sc

  • SILENT BETWEEN TWO HEARTS   CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN: A Decisive Move

    The confrontation came quietly, just the way Elena knew it would.It was early afternoon when her assistant announced the visitor. No urgency in her voice. No warning in her expression. Just a name Elena didn’t recognize and a calm statement that the investor had arrived unannounced, but insisted the meeting was “time-sensitive.”Elena didn’t look up immediately. She finished reading the document in front of her, signed it, and placed it neatly aside.“Send him in,” she said evenly.The man who stepped into her office didn’t look dangerous. That, Elena noted instantly, was the first tactic.He was well-dressed but not flashy, mid-forties perhaps, with the kind of composed confidence that came from knowing he didn’t need to impress. His smile was polite, professional, and empty.He took in the office slowly, the floor-to-ceiling windows, the art pieces, the controlled elegance of the space. Nothing escaped him.“Elena,” he said, extending his hand. “It’s a pleasure.”She didn’t rise fr

  • SILENT BETWEEN TWO HEARTS   CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN: A Control Without Noise

    Elena moved quietly, the way she always did when the stakes were highest.By the time the rumors reached the surface whispers of a group of investors planning to acquire a building directly across La Rivera it was already too late for them. What they didn’t understand was that rumors were never just noise to Elena. They were signals. Warnings. Invitations to act.She didn’t react emotionally. She didn’t confront anyone. She didn’t allow the media, the investors, or even Harry to see the gears turning in her mind.Instead, she investigated.Discreetly, methodically, she traced the origin of the information. She followed conversations that were never meant to leave boardrooms, studied shell companies, and listened to patterns in investor behavior. The more she uncovered, the clearer it became: the plan was real. A new curator center, positioned deliberately across from La Rivera, designed not to complement it but to compete with it, undermine it, and siphon influence.It wasn’t about ar

  • SILENT BETWEEN TWO HEARTS   CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWELVE: Unfolding Chaos

    The rhythm of wedding preparations had begun to pulse quietly through Elena’s life, careful and deliberate, as though every step forward was taken with measured intention. Nothing was rushed. Nothing was announced with certainty. There was no date yet, only direction. The absence of a fixed timeline was intentional, strategic even. Elena understood the language of visibility, and she knew that sometimes the strongest statement was to proceed without flinching.La Rivera would not shrink.If anything, it would stand taller.From the outside, it looked like a celebration was underway, design sketches circulating discreetly, venues discussed in hushed tones, fashion houses reaching out with proposals. Inside, however, Elena remained watchful. Threats had not vanished simply because the truth had been exposed. If anything, they had grown quieter, more calculating.And then the whispers began.It started as industry murmurs, soft conversations exchanged at private investor dinners, hints d
