Chapter 40

The Traps Unfolds.

Don Vito’s eyes rolled back as he collapsed, clutching his chest, his body hitting the floor with a thud. Chaos erupted in the room as the guards rushed to his aid.

Damian and David Blackwood moved quickly, their faces pale with shock, while the mansion staff scrambled in a frenzy.

“Get him to the clinic now!” Damian barked, urgency lacing his voice.

Within seconds, Don Vito was carried off to the mansion’s private clinic, where the family’s personal doctor awaited. They needed to find out what had happened, whether he had been poisoned or if something else was to blame.

Meanwhile, Veronica stood in the corner, her lips curling into a satisfied smirk. She was overjoyed that Aurora, the one woman she despised more than anything, had been the one who served the drink.

This was the perfect opportunity to pin the blame on her and get rid of her once and for all.

“It’s that stupid bitch Aurora!” Veronica hissed, her voice dripping with venom as she addresse

    Chapter 64Broken HeartsAnastasia arrived home, her thoughts swirling with the unexpected kiss from David. The memory of it made her heart race, and she absentmindedly touched her cheek where his lips had grazed her skin. She quickly shook her head, trying to dismiss the confusing emotions bubbling inside her. "It's nothing," she whispered to herself "He's just a stranger."As she walked into the living room, she was surprised to find Vanessa lounging on the couch, her eyes glued to her phone. The moment Vanessa looked up and saw Anastasia’s flustered expression, her lips curved into a knowing smirk.“Well, well, well,” Vanessa began teasingly, “someone seems to be glowing. Did you have fun on your date with Mr. Rude Guy?”Anastasia’s eyes widened, her heart skipping a beat. “What are you talking about? It wasn’t a date,” she stammered, trying to brush off the teasing. “I just went to get my phone back. That’s all.”“Uh-huh, sure,” Vanessa replied, raising an eyebrow. She put down

    Chapter 63Dangerous Charms.Anastasia’s day had been a blur. The chaotic thoughts about David and their upcoming meeting consumed her to the point that she could barely concentrate on anything else. The fact that she had agreed to a date a date of all things!, with a guy she barely knew and, truth be told, didn’t even like, was unsettling, all what was her mind was the,Date. She paced around her apartment, fidgeting with her hair, adjusting her clothes, and obsessively checking the time.By 6:30 PM, she was dressed in a simple but flattering outfit: a casual dress with a light jacket. It wasn’t too fancy, which was just what she wanted. After all, this wasn’t a real date. It was just a way to get her phone back, and that’s all it would ever be. Or so she told herself.By 6:45 PM, she was standing in front of Domino’s Pizza Palace, her heart racing more than she expected. The restaurant glowed under the city lights, bustling with people inside. She paused for a moment, taking a de

    Chapter 62Unwilling ConnectionAnastasia trudged into her house, feeling drained and uneasy after the long, frustrating day at the hospital. Her body screamed for rest, but her hunger clawed at her too, making her feel even more irritable. The cold walls of the house were a stark contrast to the chaos of her mind.“I really need something to eat,” she muttered to herself, walking straight toward the kitchen.The familiar surroundings were oddly comforting, but she couldn't shake the tension building up inside her. The thought of Vanessa crossed her mind as she opened the kitchen door. She hadn’t seen her roommate in over a day, and if she were being honest, she wasn’t exactly looking forward to it.“Is that bitch even home?” she muttered, then raised her voice, “Vanessa! Are you here?”Silence.“Hmph. She’s not home better,” Anastasia said under her breath, relieved to be spared a confrontation. She didn’t have the energy to deal with Vanessa’s sarcasm today.After cooking herself

    Chapter 61Unwanted ConnectionDavid had no idea what he was feeling as he stared at the young woman. She was fiery and aggressive, but there was something about her that he couldn’t shake off. He stood at the edge of her bed staring at her, feeling more confused than ever. How could he be this attracted to a stranger?“Who are you, and why are you here?” Anastasia asked, her voice sharp as she pulled herself from his hands and sat back on the bed.David opened his mouth to answer, but the words failed him. He cleared his throat, trying to find something anything to say that would make sense.“Uhmm…” His voice faltered again.“Cat got your tongue?” Anastasia's irritation was clear as her eyebrows knitted together.“I’m… the one who almost hit you with my car,” David finally managed to say, his voice soft but steady.Her eyes narrowed, and her lips twisted in a sarcastic smile. “Oh, wow. You’re the guy who was so blind he couldn’t see someone crossing the road?”David’s initial guilt

    Chapter 60Unforeseen EncountersDavid’s head was spinning with the chaos of the Blackwood mansion. The tensions, the hidden agendas, it was all suffocating. His brothers were at each other’s throats, and their bitter rivalry over a woman, Aurora, was threatening to tear the family apart. One of them was driven by ego, the other by lust. Neither cared about the consequences. David, the quiet one, always stayed out of the drama, but today, he needed to escape."I'm heading out for a while," David called out to his personal guard. "If anyone asks, tell them I went out."“Shouldn’t you have an escort, sir?” his guard asked, concerned.David waved him off. “No need. I don’t want any attention.”He walked toward the garage, his eyes landing on a sleek black SUV that had been sitting unused for weeks. It was brand new, untouched, and gleaming in the sunlight."Let's see what this new ride can do," he muttered to himself, feeling a rare flicker of excitement as he slid into the driver's sea
