The weeks that followed settled into a rhythm that felt both unfamiliar and deeply right.

Elena had always believed that peace would feel loud like triumph, like applause, like the undeniable proof that she had finally won. But peace, she was learning, was quieter than that. It arrived in the form of steady mornings, purposeful afternoons, and evenings that no longer felt heavy with unspoken tension.

La Rivera continued to rise.

What had once required relentless oversight now moved with confidence. The new curators Elena appointed brought fresh perspectives without diluting the soul of the institution. Each exhibition felt intentional, layered with meaning, and daring in ways that attracted global attention while remaining deeply rooted in authenticity.

The international press began to describe La Rivera not just as a cultural space, but as a movement.

Elena listened to the praise with gratitude, but she did not allow it to intoxicate her. She had learned too much about illusions to b

  • SILENT BETWEEN TWO HEARTS   CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINETEEN: She Is Unbreakable

    Elena sat alone in her office long after the last meeting of the day had ended. The city beyond the glass walls shimmered in soft, restless light, but inside, everything was quiet, almost unnervingly so. The hum of La Rivera, which usually filled her with energy, had faded into a distant echo. It was in moments like this, when the world paused, that the weight of everything she had survived finally had room to settle.She leaned back in her chair and let her eyes close.So much had happened in such a short time.The masked intruder.The fire.Naomi’s abduction.The anonymous messages.The faceless enemy kept circling her life like a predator that enjoyed the chase more than the kill.For a moment, Elena wondered how she was still standing.Years ago, she might have folded under this pressure. Back then, she had been brilliant, yes, but still soft in places where the world was cruel. She had trusted too easily. She had loved too deeply without guarding her heart. She had believed that

  • SILENT BETWEEN TWO HEARTS   CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN : A Thought Through The Past

    Despite the shadows that had begun to creep into their lives, the wedding preparations moved forward with a determination that felt almost defiant.La Rivera refused to slow.Elena refused to retreat.And Harry refused to let fear steal the future they were finally brave enough to claim.The threats, the faceless rival, the attacks, the fire, the abduction, each had shaken their world, but none had broken it. If anything, they had hardened Elena’s resolve. She understood now that La Rivera was not just a business; it was a symbol. And symbols were always targeted when people feared what they represented.So she chose to make theirs stronger.Every morning, La Rivera opened its doors with the same confidence it always had. Artists arrived with portfolios tucked under their arms. Curators held meetings in glass-walled rooms overlooking the lounge floor. Investors toured the building with cautious curiosity that quickly turned into admiration. Even as rumors swirled and danger hovered, L

    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 FOURTEEN: The Move They Never See Coming

    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.
