The Tyrant's Bride Vow 141. The Promise She Left Behind
The rain had started sometime after midnight.Not a storm.Just a quiet summer rain that painted silver lines across the tall windows of Moreau Group hospital.The situasion felt strangely silent.Too silent.As if everyone inside was waiting for something.Or someone.Damian stood outside the ICU observation room with both hands buried in his pockets.His eyes remained fixed on the motionless figure lying on the hospital bed.Enola.Machines blinked softly around her.Steady.Alive.But unconscious.The operation had been successful.The doctors had removed the bullet.Yet she still hadn't opened her eyes.For the first time in years, Damian Cassel understood what helplessness felt like.Not anger.Not rage.Not revenge.Helplessness.He could destroy companies.Buy entire industries.Crush enemies.But none of that could force Enola to wake up.The realization sat inside his chest like a knife.A nurse quietly walked past him.Damian glanced once more at Enola through the glass befo
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 140. The Price of Truth
The summer afternoon was unbearably hot.Heat shimmered above the asphalt outside the city, turning the distant roads into wavering illusions. Even the trees lining the countryside seemed exhausted beneath the relentless sun.Inside the police headquarters, however, the atmosphere was far colder.Ronald Hayes stood near his desk, phone still in his hand.The call with Leonard Voss had ended less than five minutes ago.And it had changed everything.Across from him, Damian sat in silence.Ethan stood nearby while several detectives moved in and out of the room.Ronald rubbed his jaw."Leonard confirmed it."Damian slowly lifted his eyes.Ronald continued."Aldric Moreau is alive."The words landed heavily.Nobody spoke for several seconds."He also confirmed Isabella met him three days before her death."Damian's expression darkened."Did Leonard tell you where Aldric is?""No."Ronald shook his head."He disappeared years ago."A curse nearly escaped Damian.Nearly.But he swallowed i
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 139. The Hunt Begins
The summer sun hung high above the city, flooding the skyline with bright golden light.Normally, it would have been the kind of morning people enjoyed.Not today.Not for Damian Cassel.Not for anyone involved in the truth buried beneath twenty years of lies.**At the police headquarters, the atmosphere was unusually tense.Detectives moved quickly between desks.Printers hummed.Phones rang.Conversations were kept low.Inside a conference room on the third floor, Ronald Hayes stood before a large investigation board.Photos.Documents.Old reports.Death certificates.Witness statements.Everything connected to one name.Isabella Moreau.For twenty years her death had been labeled an accident.For twenty years everyone had accepted that conclusion.Now they weren't so sure anymore.Ronald crossed his arms.His eyes swept across the room."Listen carefully."The room immediately fell silent."This is no longer a historical review."Several detectives straightened.Ronald's gaze har
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 138. The Truth Isabella Died For
The summer afternoon was unusually quiet.Warm sunlight poured through the tall windows of the Moreau mansion, casting long golden shadows across the polished wooden floor. Outside, cicadas hummed lazily among the trees while a gentle breeze stirred the roses blooming along the garden paths.It should have felt peaceful.Instead, tension sat heavily in the room.Enola stood beside the long conference table in Evelyn Moreau's private study.Damian was across from her.Alexander sat silently near the window.Evelyn occupied the head chair.And Viona had just arrived carrying a large archival box.No one spoke immediately.Because everyone understood one thing.The answers they had been searching for might finally be inside that box.Viona carefully placed it on the table."I almost got caught," she said lightly.Nobody laughed.Evelyn's gaze settled on the box."Open it."Enola lifted the lid.Dust drifted into the air.Old files.Handwritten notes.Financial records.Medical reports.T
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 137. The Box That Shouldn't Exist
The next morning arrived with clear blue skies and relentless summer heat.Sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Cassel mansion, washing the marble floors in gold.Damian barely noticed it.He had spent most of the night awake.Between the recording from Emirez Cassier, Adrian's information about Clarisse's shares, and the growing list of names connected to Isabella's death, sleep had become impossible.His coffee had long gone cold when his phone rang.The caller ID made him pause.Alexander Cassel.Damian stared at the screen for several seconds before answering."Father."A brief silence followed.Then Alexander spoke."I want to see you."Damian leaned back in his chair."About what?""Your mother."That was enough.Half an hour later, Damian's car entered the private cemetery owned by the Cassel family.The summer wind stirred gently through rows of white stone monuments.The cemetery was quiet.Peaceful.Too peaceful.Alexander was already there.Standing b
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 136. The Side You Chose
The video of Clarine and Victor arguing inside Cassel Group spread faster than anyone expected.By noon, it was already everywhere.Business pages.Financial forums.Entertainment news.Even gossip accounts.Everyone had an opinion.Some mocked Clarine.Some criticized Victor.Others focused on Sofiya.The scandal became public entertainment.And public entertainment was exactly the kind of thing investors hated.Inside Cassel Group's headquarters, the atmosphere felt unusually tense.People lowered their voices when they passed each other.Executives avoided unnecessary conversations.No one wanted to become the next headline.Victor had spent years building an image of control.One careless public scene had cracked that image.Not enough to destroy him.But enough to hurt.And Damian knew it.Unfortunately, he had no time to enjoy it.A knock came from his office door."Come in."Sofiya entered carrying several reports.Professional.Elegant.Composed.As if the entire scandal outsi

The Tyrant's Bride Vow 32. Cassel Family Breakfast Table
The morning air at Cassel Manor was cold and oppressive. The sun had not yet fully risen when the entire Cassel family sat down at the long dining table that stretched across the east hall.The white porcelain tableware sparkled, the cutlery was perfectly arranged, and the aroma of black coffee min
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 31. Fire in the cold
The sky above Cassel Manor was covered in a thin fog that afternoon. Damian was taking Enola to rest, while Evelyn sat in the main reading room. This room had often been used by her late daughter, Isabella Moreau Cassel, Damian’s mother.Rows of mahogany shelves stood close together, the scent of o
