— Shadows of Ellington City —

The outskirts of Ellington City were a wild stretch of forgotten land—abandoned train tracks, half-collapsed warehouses, and weeds tall enough to brush the windows of deserted buildings. The sky hung low with thick grey clouds, casting the entire landscape into a gloomy canvas of shadows.

Inside one of these abandoned warehouses, a man in his mid-twenties paced like a caged animal. The dim light from the single flickering bulb overhead caught on the sharp angles of

  • The CEO's broken vows    CHAPTER 78

    The moment the guard outside announced Clara’s arrival, the ward door suddenly flew open.Clara barged inside without waiting for permission.Her appearance was pitiful—hair disheveled, clothes wrinkled, eyes swollen and red as though she had cried endlessly for days. Before anyone could react, she dropped heavily to her knees.Bang!Her forehead slammed against the polished hospital floor.Again.Bang!Again.Bang!The sound echoed sharply through the luxurious executive ward, making Eli flinch slightly in her sleep.“Please forgive me… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” Clara sobbed incoherently between each violent bow.Blood slowly stained the floor beneath her forehead.Adrian’s expression darkened instantly.“What the hell is the meaning of this?” he barked coldly.The terrifying sharpness in his voice caused even the guards outside to stiffen.But before Adrian could say another word, Evelyn gently placed a hand against his chest.Her touch stopped him immediately.Clara continued crying h

    “Useless…” Adrian muttered under his breath, struggling to keep his anger under control.The veins along his jaw tightened as he stood inside the bathroom, one hand braced against the marble sink while the other gripped his phone so tightly his knuckles turned white. The cold bathroom lights reflected against his sharp features, making the fury in his dark eyes even more frightening.“And the Shadows?” he asked coldly.On the other end of the line, the guard swallowed nervously before replying.“They couldn’t pursue the suspect, sir. Your orders were clear—under no circumstance should any Shadow leave the person assigned to protect. Once Madam returned safely to the hospital, the biker disappeared into traffic.”Adrian closed his eyes briefly.Damn it.The fact that someone could boldly follow Evelyn after everything that had happened meant only one thing.The Black Circuit was preparing another move.“It’s fine,” Adrian finally said, though his voice carried a dangerous calm that ma

    Evelyn slowly opened her eyes to the soft hum of machines and the faint scent of antiseptic filling the hospital room.For a moment, her mind was blank.Then reality rushed back all at once.Ethan.Her body jolted instinctively, but a dull ache spread through her limbs the moment she tried to sit up. She realized then that she had fallen asleep on the couch beside Ethan’s hospital bed.The ward was quieter now.Warm afternoon sunlight filtered through the partially drawn curtains, casting golden streaks across the polished floor and bathing the room in a calm glow. Compared to the chaos and terror that had filled the hospital over the past two months, the room finally felt… peaceful.And crowded.Her eyes slowly scanned the room.Her parents were there.Mrs. Chase Sr. sat quietly near the window with her cane resting against her chair, pretending not to wipe the corners of her eyes every few seconds. Isa and Alex stood nearby talking softly to Eli, while Adrian leaned against the tabl

  • The CEO's broken vows    CHAPTER 75

    Gradually, life began returning to normal.Well… almost.The world outside continued moving as though nothing had happened. Cars still filled the roads of Ellington City every morning, business deals were still signed inside towering corporations, and people still laughed freely in cafés and restaurants.But for the Chase family, time had remained frozen two months ago—the night Ethan was carried into the hospital soaked in blood.Two whole months had passed.Yet Ethan still hadn’t opened his eyes.His condition had stabilized weeks ago. The gunshot wounds were healing slowly, the bruises fading little by little, and the doctors repeatedly reassured the family that his vitals were strong.But he still wouldn’t wake up.It was as though his body had returned… but his soul was still trapped somewhere far away.And every passing day slowly drained the life out of Evelyn.She barely left the hospital anymore. The once radiant designer who dazzled runways with elegance and confidence now s

  • The CEO's broken vows    CHAPTER 74

    Adrian sat near the floor-to-ceiling window, his laptop glowing softly in the dim light of the private hospital suite. Outside, Ellington City shimmered beneath the night sky, distant lights flickering like a world that still believed everything was normal.Inside this room… nothing felt normal.Ethan was asleep on the hospital bed.Eli rested on a smaller bed nearby, her tiny body finally calm after everything she had endured.And Evelyn…Evelyn had finally agreed to eat and take a shower after hours of persuasion. Now she lay asleep beside Ethan’s bed, her hand still loosely resting near his arm, as if afraid he would disappear again the moment she let go.Adrian watched them silently.For a brief moment, he allowed himself to breathe.Then—Buzz.His phone rang sharply.Adrian’s eyes darkened instantly.He stood up without hesitation and walked into the bathroom, closing the door quietly behind him.The moment the call connected, Bruce’s voice came through—tense, controlled, and un

    The gunshots echoed again.BANG. BANG. BANG.Closer this time.The guard standing near the door stiffened, his fingers tightening around his weapon as the sound tore through the walls like thunder trapped indoors. Sweat gathered at his temples despite the cold air-conditioned room.“S-sir…” His voice wavered despite his effort to steady it. “They’ve breached the outer perimeter—”“I can hear that.”Charles didn’t turn.Didn’t flinch.Didn’t even blink.His voice was calm.Too calm.The kind of calm that didn’t belong in a situation like this.The smile on his lips didn’t fade. Instead, it slowly stretched wider, curling into something darker—something that made the guard’s stomach twist uneasily.It was the smile of a man who wasn’t afraid of death.Or worse—A man who welcomed it.“Interesting,” Charles murmured, lifting the glass of whiskey from his desk. The amber liquid caught the dim light as he swirled it lazily, completely detached from the chaos unfolding outside.Then, in one

    Evelyn had been in an unusual high spirits that morning. For once, the world felt a little lighter. Isa had called earlier to inform her about the new security protocols Adrian set up at the children’s school. According to her, no one went in or out without a thorough search—not even teachers. T

    Clara followed quietly behind Eli, her heels clicking faintly against the polished marble as she moved through the backstage hallway. The little girl, completely oblivious to the danger trailing her, hummed softly—a light, airy tune that echoed off the cold bathroom tiles as she pushed the door ope
