Whisked Away Chapter 124: Facing the Fire
The lobby of DeLuca Tower had never been so suffocating. Outside, the protestors’ voices swelled like a storm tide, chants bouncing off skyscraper glass:“Fraud!”“We stand with Amara!”“Expose the truth!”News vans lined the street. Helicopters circled overhead. The press had scented blood, and the city was the hunting ground.Amara stood by the window of Luca’s office, watching the chaos with her arms wrapped around herself. Every sign, every shouted word felt like a stone hurled at her chest.“Luca, they’re not just questioning me anymore,” she said, voice brittle. “They’re questioning us. Our marriage. Everything.”Luca paced like a lion caged. His fists flexed, jaw set tight. “Then let them. Let them scream until their throats bleed. We’ll drown them with truth.”He stopped suddenly, his gaze pinning her. “You need to speak. Not to me, not to the board, not just to me, but to them. To the world. Before Ethan scripts the whole story.”Amara’s heart lurched. “You mean… another pres
Whisked Away Chapter 123: The City in Flames
By nightfall, the world had split into factions.On the giant screen in Times Square, the photo of Luca and Amara, hands entwined, standing before a sea of microphones, flashed again and again. Commuters craned their necks, pausing mid-stride to stare. Some cheered openly, clapping, as though their own voices had been heard through Amara’s declaration. Others shook their heads, muttering, “Too neat, too polished. She’s covering for him.”On social media, hashtags erupted like wildfire:#DeLucasUnited#AmaraSpeaks#TruthVsLiesInfluencers dissected Amara’s tone, stylists praised her dress as “armor,” analysts debated Luca’s hard stance against Ethan. Within hours, Amara was no longer just a name, she was a symbol.But symbols came with danger.In the glittering towers of Wall Street, investors huddled in boardrooms lit by midnight lamps.“DeLuca is stabilizing,” one banker muttered, running his hand through his thinning hair. “That speech worked. Their shares will hold.”“And Ethan?” a
Whisked Away Chapter 122: United Front
The DeLuca Tower lobby looked like a fortress that morning. Security lined the marble floors, cameras whirred, microphones jostled in the hands of hungry reporters. For days the media had speculated: Would Luca DeLuca finally respond in person? Would Amara remain in hiding?Then the glass doors slid open, and the noise cut to a stunned hush.Amara walked out first.She wore a sleek black dress that skimmed her figure with effortless grace, her hair swept back, her posture unflinching. There was no trace of the quiet, fragile woman Ethan tried to paint her as. Every step said: I choose. I decide. I am not a pawn.Luca followed, not in the shadow, but beside her. Dark suit, sharp eyes, a controlled storm of authority. His hand found hers, their fingers interlocking in plain sight of the entire world.The room erupted in a frenzy of flashbulbs.Reporters shouted:“Amara, do you love Ethan ?”“Mr. DeLuca, are the allegations against your rival true?”Luca raised a hand, his gaze slicing th
Whisked Away Chapter 121: The City Turns
The exposé exploded across the city like a grenade.By dawn, Ethan’s smug interview was buried under a storm of damning revelations:“Ethan Cross Linked to Offshore Scandal.”“Millions Lost in Failed Investment Scheme.”“Secret Accounts Surface, Where Did the Money Go?”Reporters camped outside Ethan’s penthouse. Former partners suddenly “remembered” his ruthlessness. Whispers of fraud became full-throated accusations.But Ethan wasn’t a man who broke easily.By noon, he was already firing back, denying, deflecting, branding himself a victim of Luca’s “smear campaign.” He strode into a press conference in an immaculate navy suit, flanked by lawyers, his charisma dialed to perfection.“Luca DeLuca is terrified,” he declared. “He’ll stop at nothing to destroy me and the woman I love. Ask yourselves, why now? Why, just as Amara and I were about to reconcile, does he dredge up these lies? Because he’s afraid. Afraid she’ll see who truly cared for her.”The performance was flawless.

Whisked Away Chapter 120:The Fallout
The headlines hit the world before Amara and Luca even left the cathedral steps.By the time their car pulled away from the swarm of reporters, news anchors were already dissecting every word, bloggers were spinning theories, and social media was aflame with hashtags:#AmaraExposed#SecretMarriageScandal#DeLucaDramaInside the sleek black car, Amara sat stiffly, staring out the tinted windows at the blur of flashing cameras. Her hands trembled against her lap until Luca took them into his, steady and strong.“You were flawless,” he said softly.“I was terrified,” she whispered.“That’s what made it flawless,” he replied, pressing her knuckles to his lips.But even as he soothed her, his phone buzzed incessantly on the seat beside him—messages from board members, lawyers, his father, and half of Manhattan’s high society. Luca didn’t reach for it. His attention stayed on her.Ethan, however, was already on the offensive.That evening, as the city lights glittered across the skyline, hi
Whisked Away Chapter 119: The World Awaits
The cathedral doors groaned open, spilling blinding sunlight onto the marble floor. For a moment, Amara hesitated, her breath caught in her chest. Beyond those doors, the whispers of her past would not just be secrets between Ethan, Luca, and herself, they would belong to the world.Luca slipped his hand into hers. “We go together,” he murmured, steady and sure. His grip was warm, unyielding, an anchor pulling her forward.The moment they stepped outside, the world pounced.Cameras flashed, reporters surged forward like a tidal wave, microphones thrust into the air. Shouts cracked through the chaos:“Amara! Is it true you were married before?”“Luca, how does this affect your vows?”“Ethan, were you her husband in secret?”“Is the wedding valid?”The barrage of questions swirled like knives. Amara flinched at the onslaught, instinct screaming for her to shrink back, to hide. But Luca’s arm tightened around her shoulders, shielding her from the crush. His voice rang out, deep and comma
