I didn’t remember the drive or the traffic lights or even the turns.

All that kept replaying in my mind was the image of blood pooling beneath the dim dock lights.

When we reached my apartment building, I stepped out of the car on unsteady legs. We didn’t speak as we walked upstairs.

I unlocked the door, pushed it open and stepped inside, with Liam silently following behind me.

Without looking at him, I went straight to the couch and sat down.

My body felt strangely heavy and hollow at

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   A Son For A Son

    AxelBy the time we got to my father's estate, my mind was still occupied by the name I had heard earlier.Linus Langford.I hadn't expected to hear that name again.Not after so many years.The moment we stepped into the estate, I was informed that my father was already waiting for me in his study.Without wasting any time, I headed straight there.I pushed open the door to the study and stepped inside.My father was seated behind his desk. His head was slightly lowered, his eyes fixed on the drink in his hand.I stopped a few feet away from his desk.“Father,” I called.His gaze slowly lifted to me.“Mr. Linus Langford?”The moment I mentioned the name, something changed in his expression. His fingers tightened around the glass. Without saying anything, he lifted it to his lips and downed the drink in one gulp.He lowered the empty glass on the desk and released a deep sigh. A deep frown remained etched across his forehead.Seeing his reaction only made my curiosity grow.Linus Lang

    AxelMr. Wagner sat quietly in the chair across from me.His hands were clasped tightly together, resting against his lap, while his head remained slightly lowered. His shoulders were hunched beneath his old suit, and the years were written plainly across his face.“Remind me again,” I finally said, breaking the silence, “about the young girl you were instructed to pick up from the Pierce family.”The old man's fingers shifted nervously against each other.“Eighteen years ago,” I continued, my voice calm despite the anger slowly building inside me. “You were instructed to pick up a young girl from the Pierce family. Tell me exactly what happened.”He released a deep sigh. For a moment, it seemed like he was searching through the distant memories buried somewhere in his mind. Finally, he raised his head and looked at me.“Young master,” he began slowly, “eighteen years is truly a very long time. But I remember receiving the order. I was instructed to pick up the daughter of the Pierce

    AxelThere was another question that had been prickling at the back of my mind.“Blake…”“Yes?”“Before Olivia lost her memory…” I paused, carefully choosing my words.“Did she ever mention having a young blind friend at home?”She frowned slightly. “A blind friend?”“Yes.”She looked away, thinking deeply.“Olivia wasn't really someone who loved mingling with her peers. She was always a little reserved. She didn't have many close friends, but she had a kind heart. So it's possible she did have someone like that in her life, but… I really don't know.”I sighed. “All right. There is one more thing I'd like to ask you.”Blake nodded. “Go ahead.”“Did Olivia ever bear the name… Anna?”The moment the name left my lips, Blake froze. Her eyes widened as she stared at me. For a few seconds, she didn't utter a single word.Then, slowly, she asked,“How do you know that?”Seeing the expression on her face, everything began aligning. Just one more piece… One final piece to complete the chessboa

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   The Name She Had Lost

    Axel“I remember rushing to the hospital.” Blake's voice trembled as she continued. “I remember seeing my poor daughter lying there unconscious.”Her eyes glistened with tears.“It was the most painful sight I'd ever seen. She was so small, Axel. She looked so helpless, lying on that hospital bed with all those machines around her. I couldn't understand how something like that could have happened to my little girl.”My chest tightened as I watched her struggle with the memory.“Deep down, I suspected Carl had something to do with it. After everything that had happened, how could I not? But I had no solid proof. No evidence. Nothing I could take to the police or anyone else.” She swallowed hard, lowering her gaze.“So I had no choice but to stay by my daughter's side throughout her stay in the hospital, praying every single day that she opens her eyes.”“How long was she in the hospital?” I asked quietly.“Three whole days. Three days, and not once did Carl come to check on us or even

    Axel“Please, you need to listen to me.”Olivia's mother’s voice was hesitant, almost trembling as she sat beside me on the bench in the hospital garden, with her hands clasped tightly in her lap.“When I first met you,” she began slowly, “I didn't know who you truly were. To me, you were simply Olivia's boss. Nothing more. But then I found out that you were married to Jasmine… Carl's daughter.”Her voice dropped.“I really don't want any trouble. Those things happened so long ago, and honestly…” She exhaled shakily. “I don't want to go down that memory lane again.”My chest tightened.There was something in the way she spoke that told me this wasn't merely a story she was reluctant to tell. It was something that had haunted her.Something she had buried for years.Scooting closer to her, I reached for her hand and held it warmly between mine.“Please, ma'am.”She finally looked at me.“You can call me Blake.”I nodded and continued, keeping my voice gentle. “This is really important.

  • Trapped To The Billionaire Devil   The Truth Hidden in Her Past

    AxelOlivia lay motionless on the stretcher as the medical team rushed her through the hospital corridors.“Please!” I called out, following them without hesitation. “Please, just save her!”The wheels of the stretcher rattled against the floor as we hurried toward the emergency room. Nurses moved quickly around us, calling out instructions while another doctor prepared the doors ahead.I followed them all the way to the entrance of the ER, but just as I was about to step inside, Dr. David stopped me.“You can't go any farther, Mr. Axel.”My feet came to an abrupt halt.“What?” My eyes immediately went to Olivia. “No. I need to stay with her.”“You have to wait outside. We're going to take over from here.”My throat tightened. For a moment, all I could do was stare at Olivia. She looked so still.I swallowed hard.“Do everything you can to save her. Please.”“We will.” He gave a firm nod before disappearing through the doors.They swung shut behind him, and suddenly, I was left standi

    Olivia I pushed the grocery cart forward slowly, letting it roll ahead of me as I scanned the shelves. The supermarket was calm at this hour—not too crowded, not too quiet… just the way I liked it. Pasta… pasta… I walked down the aisle, eyes moving from shelf to shelf, reading labels without real

    Axel My body reacted before my mind fully caught up. I turned toward the sound instantly, and then I heard it. A voice I knew. Jasmine. I moved without hesitation. “Sir…” Derek started behind me, already falling into step as I walked through the crowd. People parted instinctively as I pushed f
