Chapter 111Andre sat in the shallow end of the pool, arms stretched along the edge, a cigarette pressed between his fingers, a half-empty bottle of whiskey resting beside him. The water barely reached his chest, but it was enough to give him the illusion of peace. His eyes were bloodshot, his jaw tight, and his aura had grown cold and unreadable.It had been two months since everything fell apart. Two months since he had gone on detention and back twice, each time returning more broken than before. Two months since the chairman made sure to do everything to break him, systematically dismantling every piece of his life until the only thing that remained untouched was Vanessa—and even she felt like a ghost now, haunting the edges of his consciousness.His days were spent drowning in alcohol and smoke, each sip and drag a futile attempt to numb the ache that had taken permanent residence in his chest.Nights were even worse, haunted by guilt that clawed at him like razor-sharp talons, a

Chapter 113Andre's POV:I woke up with a heavy chest-the kind of weight you feel when your world is starting to tilt out of its perfect axis. My fists clenched automatically, and I stared at the blinking screen of my phone. Message after message. Missed calls. Mentions. A dozen news alerts. All shouting the same line:"Garcia Heir Resigns for Pregnant Mistress."My jaw twitched. My thumb hovered over the article notification. I didn't need to read it to know what lies were spreading. An anonymous source leaked it. Not hard to guess who. Someone from the inside. Someone desperate.I gritted my teeth, eyes scanning the phone before I hit dial. Stanley. He instantly informed me that he'd successfully set the meeting with some people who liked my proposal, and that they were ready to invest after a meeting tomorrow morning. I was grateful for that. I'd always been scared to leave my father and go on my own, probably because I sold out the company name more than I sold out my own name. B

Chapter 115 The hospital room was tense, filled with the sharp scent of antiseptic and the unbearable silence that hung like a heavy fog. Vanessa sat on the edge of the hospital bed, her hands trembling slightly on her lap, her eyes wide and glassy with confusion. One minute she was talking to Louisa, and the next minute she found herself in a hospital with Claire here. She didn't know what had happened between the hours of her unconsciousness.The moment Andre burst through the door, he came to stand by her side, protectively, his jaw clenched so tightly that the muscle there ticked. Claire sat close to Vanessa, holding her hand, warming her up.The strange man who had walked in at the same time with Andre dropped a bombshell, claiming to be the father of Vanessa's unborn child. Andre turned to Vanessa with surprise-filled eyes."Vanessa," he asked, his voice breaking, "what the hell is he talking about?"Her breath hitched. It felt like the world tilted beneath her. How could she a

Chapter 117Andre's POV:I don’t make promises I can’t keep. And I sure as hell don’t let people think they’ve beaten me. When I saw Vanessa that night—choking, fighting for her life—something inside me snapped. That kind of fury, that helpless rage... it's not something you bottle up and forget. It becomes a vow. One I made right there on that floor as I held her trembling body: they're going to pay.I didn't sleep. Couldn't even close my eyes. I sat beside her like a guard dog all night, my arm never leaving her side. Her breathing eventually became soft and rhythmic, but every creak in the apartment kept me wired. When morning came, I was already dressed and ready to face the storm.******A day earlier, I had gone to the lab after receiving confirmed result from another hospital.Getting inside wasn't hard. I may have lost my position by my father's side, but I still had connections. Old friends. A few well-placed threats and some cash handled the rest. The technician was a jitte
