Savage Reborn: Dumped Him to Marry the Billionaire Chapter 48
The sirens didn't wail. They chirped—sharp, authoritative bursts of sound that cut through the night air.The courtyard of the Hale Fortress, which had been designed to welcome diplomats and royalty, was now a sea of flashing red and blue lights.Six squad cars were parked on the manicured lawn, their tires digging into the turf.On the terrace, the silence was heavy. The guests—tech giants, politicians, and socialites—stood near the walls, watching the end of the drama unfold with morbid fascination.Oryn and his security team had hauled Lysander and Elara down the main steps to the waiting officers.It wasn't a dignified exit.Elara was screaming. Her zip-tied hands were behind her back, her mismatched, stolen clothes making her look like a frantic scarecrow."It wasn't my idea!" she shrieked, thrashing against the grip of two officers. "He had the gun! I tried to stop him! I’m a victim! Check the hospital records! He hit me!"She was throwing Lysander under the bus, the train, and

The jazz band was playing a smooth, upbeat number. Champagne flutes clinked. Laughter floated in the warm evening air.At the head table, Vespera turned.She looked up into the shadowed face of the waiter standing just three feet away.He wasn't looking at the empty glasses. He was looking right at her.Under the brim of the oversized cap, his eyes were bloodshot, rimmed with madness and exhaustion. His skin was gray, his beard patchy. He looked like a ghost who had crawled out of a crypt."Lysander," Vespera whispered.He grinned. It was a rictus of hate that showed too many teeth."Did you miss me, wifey?" Lysander hissed.His hand came out of the deep pocket of the white jacket.It wasn't holding a bottle opener.It was holding a rusty, cheap .38 caliber revolver. The metal looked dirty against the crisp white of the stolen uniform.He raised the gun, aiming it squarely at Vespera’s chest, right over the intricate crystal bodice of her wedding gown."A toast," Lysander shouted, his

The music began.It wasn't the traditional "Here Comes the Bride." It was a live string quartet playing a haunting, melodic version of Debussy’s Clair de Lune—the song Vespera had once told Cyprian was the only thing that calmed her mind during the nights in the attic.The heavy oak doors of the Hale Fortress’s Great Hall swung open.The guests—three hundred of the world’s most powerful people—stood as one.Vespera stepped onto the aisle runner.The air smelled of heaven. Fifty thousand white orchids lined the walls, but the aisle itself was strewn with white rose petals. Cyprian had remembered. “Orchids are for the show,” he had said. “Roses are for you.”Vespera gripped her bouquet of white peonies. Her hands were trembling, but not from fear.She looked down the long aisle.At the end, standing beneath an arch of interwoven crystal and blooms, was Cyprian.He was wearing a black tuxedo that fit him like a second skin, tailored to accommodate the breadth of his shoulders. His hands

The invitation weighed nearly a pound.It was engraved on a sheet of solid, brushed gold, encased in a sleeve of midnight-blue velvet. It didn't just say "You're invited." It said, "You are witnessing history."The Union of Cyprian Hale & Vespera Vane.The Hale Fortress.Saturday, Sunset.The internet had dubbed it "The Royal Wedding of the Business World."For three days, social media had been in a frenzy.

The blades of the helicopter sliced through the night air, a rhythmic thwup-thwup-thwup that vibrated in Vespera’s chest.She sat in the leather passenger seat, wearing a noise-canceling headset. Below them, the glittering grid of Neo-Veridia was shrinking. The Hale Fortress, the ruins of the Thorne factory, the hospital where Elara lay screaming—it all looked like a toy set from up here."Where are we going?" Vespera asked into the microphone. "You said we needed to discuss the next phase of the acquisition strategy."Cyprian sat in the pilot’s seat. He wasn't wearing his usual armor of a three-piece suit. He wore a black linen shirt, unbuttoned at the collar, and dark trousers. His hands moved deftly over the controls.He glanced at her, his grey eyes warm in the dashboard lights."The acquisition is complete, Vespera," he said. "The strategy is over. Tonight isn't about business."Vespera frowned. If it wasn't about business, why the helicopter? Why the secrecy? A small, traumatize

The view from the Chairman’s Office was breathtaking. From the fiftieth floor, Neo-Veridia looked like a circuit board of gold and glass.Vespera sat in the massive leather chair—Lysander’s chair—and signed a purchase order. She felt no ghost in the room. She had exorcised the space simply by being better at the job than he ever was.Bzzzt.The intercom on her desk glowed red."Mrs. Hale?" the receptionist’s voice was hesitant. "I’m sorry to disturb you, but... there is a woman here to see you. She doesn't have an appointment."Vespera didn't look up from the document. "Security can handle trespassers, Sarah. Send her away.""I tried, Ma'am. But she’s... making a scene. She claims she’s your mother."Vespera’s pen stopped. The ink bled into the paper, forming a tiny black sun.Mother.That word had always tasted like ash in her mouth."Let her in," Vespera said quietly."Are you sure? I can call Mr. Hale's security team.""No. I need to handle this one myself."A moment later, the hea
