The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die Chapter 816
That night, Carter stayed over.William walked Layla back to the house next door. The two of them stood at her door for a moment.“If you need me to, I can go visit Carly,” Layla offered softly. “She needs someone to talk to right now. Maybe she’d listen to me.”“She’s at the Lucas estate. It won’t be easy for you to get close to her,” William replied. Then he teased her on purpose. “What’s this? Getting into the role of her aunt already?”Layla frowned. “You’re still in the mood to joke?”“You’re just too tense.”William reached out and gently tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear. “I’m handling this. You don’t need to get involved.“Besides, it’s better if you stay clear of Lucas family matters. It won’t do you any good.”As he spoke, his hand slid behind her neck. He leaned down and pressed a light kiss to her forehead. “Goodnight. Get some rest.”Before Layla could react, he had already turned and walked back to his own house.*The next day, Layla’s assistant

Sobbing, Camila buried her face in Zion’s chest, her cries soon turning to quiet gasps.Zion’s heart ached for her. He gently placed a hand on her trembling back, letting her cry for a while before speaking softly. “Lucien spoke to me earlier. He’s going to take charge of the investigation. He’s more capable than I am. I’m sure he’ll get us answers soon.“For now, I want to focus all my energy on staying by your side and Carly’s. We’ll help her through this together.”Camila looked up at him, eyes still wet with tears, her voice hesitant. “Are you sure we can trust Lucien with this?”Zion frowned. “How can you even doubt him? Everything I’ve achieved was thanks to his support. Have you forgotten how much he’s done for this family?”“It’s not that…”Camila bit her lip and lowered her gaze, avoiding Zion’s eyes. “It’s just... it wasn’t Lucien’s people who found Carly. It was William’s. Maybe he would be better at handling this.“After all, he is Carly’s uncle too. He helped find h

Out in the courtyard, the weather was perfect. The sun was warm, the scenery inviting.Unfortunately, Zion was in no mood to enjoy any of it.The moment he stepped outside, he instinctively pulled out his lighter and a pack of cigarettes. He offered one to Lucien, but Lucien waved him off. Zion stuck a cigarette between his lips and lit it.In just two days, he had barely put the cigarettes down. His entire body now reeked of smoke.Lucien studied him for a while, then let out a heavy sigh. “Zion, you shouldn’t dwell on this too much. As long as the news doesn’t get out, it won’t have too big an impact on Carly’s future…”“Won’t have too big an impact?”Zion suddenly cut him off, lifting his gaze through the swirl of smoke. His eyes burned with a mix of shock and anger.“Lucien, you’re Carly’s uncle. How can you even say that? Do you have any idea what she’s been through?“I’m trying to protect her future, yes. But what about her present? From that night until now, Carly hasn’t

That was exactly why Shane backed off.He was afraid that once he took her body, her heart would drift even further away. That was the last thing he wanted.So he climbed out of bed and headed to the bathroom, taking a long, cold shower to force down the restless frustration still burning inside him.When he came back to the room, he carefully dressed Carly again and sat by her side, keeping watch the entire night.Thinking back on it now, he felt more than a little regret.Especially after hearing what Carly had said that morning.He hadn’t touched her at all, yet in her eyes, he was already a monster. It was a bitter pill to swallow.At the thought, Shane lifted a hand and slapped his own cheek, muttering in frustration, “I was never some saint to begin with. Why the hell was I trying to act like one at a time like that?”Thank God Xenos would handle the cleanup. Without him, no amount of explaining could have cleared his name.On the way home earlier, one of the men in blac

“Zion is refusing to let the doctors run further tests. Maybe he’s afraid they’ll actually find something.”Levi’s voice came through the phone as he explained what he had learned.“Right now, Carly is still in the hospital, but she should be discharged soon. Zion has ordered everyone to keep quiet about it. No one at the hospital dares to talk.”Levi paused for a moment. “He’s trying to protect Carly’s reputation—or rather, the Lucas family’s reputation.”“That’s awful!”Layla, who had been listening on speakerphone, couldn’t help but interrupt. “Even if, worst case, something really did happen to her, keeping this under wraps is only protecting the criminal!“What they should be doing is going straight to the police and having Carly cooperate with the investigation!”“Miss Xander…”Levi sounded troubled. “No matter what, Zion is still Carly’s father. His decision isn’t something we can easily—”“Leave it there.”William cut him off and ended the call with a flick of his han

Less than three minutes after they left, the Lucas family found the room.The door was slightly ajar. As soon as Zion pushed it open, he caught sight of Carly collapsed on the floor. He nearly fainted on the spot.The people behind him rushed forward to check Carly’s condition.One of them quickly confirmed that she was still breathing and turned to reassure Zion. “Miss Lucas just fainted. She’s okay, nothing serious.”Zion finally managed to catch his breath and immediately ordered, “You… hurry up and take her to the hospital!”“Understood!”The group carried Carly out of the hotel. None of them noticed that Mike had quietly approached the front desk.“I need all the hotel surveillance footage from yesterday,” he said calmly.*At the hospital, Carly woke up to the sound of quiet sobbing.Camila sat at her bedside, crying.“Why… am I here?” Carly asked weakly.The moment she heard her voice, Camila grabbed Carly’s hand tightly. “Carly, how are you? Are you feeling okay? Ar
