151 - Closed Eyes, Don't Open
Chapter 151 - Closed Eyes, Don't OpenHe decided to stay awake all night to fulfill his promise. He seemed like a ghost as he wandered around the mansion, going from one place to another."Good evening," he greeted the lady he found in the kitchen with a pitcher of water."A little water, sir?" she offered, but he declined, looking pensive."But... would you like some coffee, perhaps? Can you make it?" he asked, sitting somewhat distracted."You're unable to sleep, is it appropriate to drink coffee?" she asked, confused."Your name is Celeste, isn't it? Ailda's right-hand woman?""Yes, sir.""Just do as I say, please," he requested calmly. So she made the coffee and served it. After that, he returned to the office, where he continued trying to work.In the morning, he was awake and left early as promised. The morning was cold and slightly rainy. The breath that came out of his mouth was like a steam vapor in response to the cold air. He drove eagerly to meet Elizabeth, also worried th

152: Does Alfred Not Care About His Grandson?
Chapter 152: Does Alfred Not Care About His Grandson?Elizabeth followed in silence as she was escorted by her brothers, who looked at her with confusion. Once inside, she ran upstairs, ignoring them. But before she reached her room, Zeus stopped her, holding her arm with a displeased expression."Where were you?" Zeus asked, irritated."I was hiding from you, can't I?" Elizabeth replied, raising her eyebrows and staring at him arrogantly."I'm not keeping you here because I want to. I need to keep you safe because I care about you," Zeus confessed sincerely, releasing her arm and gently holding her hand. "I thought you had run away and something had happened to you. Now that everyone knows who you are, things can get even more complicated. Imagine if they also find out about your identity as Bay, one of the women at the top, being hated and loved at the same time?""Father, I appreciate the concern, but do you really think it's necessary to keep me away from Richard? You wanted me to

153: Richard was poisoned again.
Chapter 153: Richard was poisoned again.Alfred locked himself in the office and began searching for the document, but found nothing. Then he heard hurried footsteps in the hallway, as if something was happening. He heard voices and quickly went out. When he realized it, the doctors who were examining Richard were now trying to revive him from a cardiac arrest. They performed CPR, and after nearly fifteen minutes of insistence to normalize his heartbeat, they could breathe a sigh of relief."What happened?" Alfred asked Jayden."I have no idea. The doctors administered the usual medicine to help him wake up, but this time he had a cardiac arrest," explained Jayden, still stunned."I need to talk to you," one of Jayden's trusted doctors warned."Of course!""I'm coming too!" Alfred announced, but Jayden didn't allow him to go and locked himself in the office with the doctor."I just received an email with the results of Richard's blood test.""Are you talking about the test?""No, the

154: Alfred wants to take everything from Richard.
Chapter 154: Alfred wants to take everything from Richard. "Elizabeth, is everything okay?" Jayden asked as she seemed unresponsive. "Tell me, what was Taylor's mother's name?" Elizabeth inquired. "Coralie, why?" "Because this woman is Taylor's mother, and only her hair is different. When he showed me the photo, her hair was very dark, and now it's light brown, and she!" Elizabeth asserted with certainty. Jayden was speechless, awkwardly smiling, realizing he hadn't connected the dots. It had been obvious since he found out Taylor's mother hadn't died. "Taylor!" Elizabeth shouted as the cellphone camera was pointed at Richard. "Is he waking up? Something's wrong!" she yelled as she saw Richard thrashing around. Then, Jayden dropped the phone and ran to call the doctors. "He's having another cardiac arrest, hurry!" Jayden shouted. Elizabeth didn't see anything else but heard clearly what the doctor had said. While they were with Richard, Jayden ended the call as he cursed loudly

155: Who Kidnapped Elizabeth
Chapter 155: Who Kidnapped Elizabeth"But wasn't he fine?" Brian asked, surprised to see Richard debilitated, hooked up to machines."As you can see, it's not hard to tell that he isn't. Please leave, both of you," Jayden ordered calmly."She wanted to come to see him, but she's not here. I know she wouldn't hide; she'd fight to stay and would stay," Ryuk commented to Brian before grabbing his phone and leaving the room to call the police.Alfred, upon learning about Elizabeth's disappearance, quickly left with the Leblanc brothers and headed to their mansion."We have to find Liz..." Gaby murmured, trying to stay calm.Jayden gave her a discreet smile. "And we have what they don't. That woman is Coralie, Taylor's mother. Elizabeth recognized her today.""So she might know something, right?""Let's get her!"He left the room and headed to the kitchen. They had to capture her without anyone knowing."Can you help Aurora?" Jayden asked upon entering the kitchen, startling her."Me?" She

156: Against Time
Chapter 156: Against Time"Liz..." he gasped, worried, pulling the blanket off her body. She was without any of her clothes, which were neatly folded and placed on the dresser. Next to them, the handcuff key, an already opened bottle of wine, and two glasses, as if it were a romantic encounter. "Emma managed to get what was so hard for me to get. How? And she mocks me like this," he questioned, taking the handcuff key and removing the cuffs from her arm.At the Campbell mansion, Jayden was again in the room where Coralie was imprisoned. He dragged her through the hallway to the office, where he seated her in one of the chairs, handing her the cellphone. Meanwhile, Gaby now had a gun pointed at her head. Her anxious hands yearned to pull the trigger. In the midst of desperation, she only wanted to find Elizabeth."You're going to call Taylor and keep him on the line until I get what I want," Jayden ordered, handing her the phone. "Do it if you want to live. Otherwise, you'll die right

157: Finally Standing
Chapter 157: Finally StandingOn that same morning, Jayden and Gaby informed the Leblanc family that Elizabeth was fine and that they had found her. Jayden convinced them to let her rest at the Campbell mansion for a while, as she was still very shaken by what had happened."Are you sure you don't want to tell them what happened?" Jayden asked Gaby."Not yet. She's not well. If they know, they'll come here and take her away even if it's against her will. Liz needs time, and I need space to hunt down Taylor.""I got the recordings from the apartment, but it seems they took care of even that. Still..." he murmured, showing Gaby a public video from the street in front of the apartment."It wasn't Taylor who took Elizabeth. He arrived a little later and alone. There are more people involved in this.""I'll find them, whoever they are. What happened was the last straw.""How are you going to do that? There's no trace. We only know Taylor was there, but who else? They could also be just sec

158: Your silence accuses me.
Richard left the room, and Jayden led him to Elizabeth's room."Is she okay?" Richard asked as he turned the doorknob, but the door wouldn't open."She needs you now more than ever, talk to her," Jayden said, apprehensively."How did she get here? She didn't come alone, did she?" Richard asked suspiciously."Just talk to her," Jayden ended the conversation by handing him the spare key and leaving him alone."I already said I want to be alone!" Elizabeth exclaimed, throwing the pillow at Richard's face without realizing it was him. "Richard?""Yeah," he sighed in relief at seeing her, yet confused by her pale complexion."I missed you so much," she lamented, but still couldn't bring herself to approach, staying withdrawn near the bed.He cautiously approached her until he finally had her in his arms, calmly and carefully."What went wrong? You look so worn out," he asked tenderly, holding her close.Then she realized he didn't know what had happened."I'll tell you later. Tell me... ho

Richard heard the quick and heavy footsteps in the hallway; Elizabeth's brothers came with some security guards."Where's Elizabeth?" Ryuk asked Jayden, who was in the hallway."She's in the room," he said without opposing, still staring at Richard's office door, which didn't open."Liz…" Brian murmured when he saw her, and she ran to her brothers who embraced her."Let's go home… okay?" Ryuk requested, noticing her weakness. "What's going on? Not eating?" he asked, squeezing her cheeks."I have no appetite…""No appetite? It looks like you haven't eaten for at least… since you got here, I know you too well," Brian commented, taking one of the sheets and throwing it over her body, covering the bathrobe she was wearing."You're going to tell us everything that happened. I want to know who hurt you," he asserted, picking her up in his arms when he noticed she was trembling.Ryuk and Brian left the room, taking her with them. Richard left the office as soon as they passed by his door. El

Chapter 160: Hunting the ImpostorsTaylor knew he was being hunted, so he left the city, as did Emma with her lover, the security guard Mouret.As soon as Jayden informed Gaby who was involved in Elizabeth's kidnapping, her brothers began to use their contacts to find them.Ryuk and Brian returned to Richard's mansion to talk to him. Both brothers seemed stunned as they faced Richard, as if they wanted to accuse him of something."I still don't understand one thing," Brian commented. "Knowing the delicate situation she was in, why didn't you support her? Yesterday, when we were taking her out of your house, she whispered that she was not guilty. I hope you didn't blame her for what happened; otherwise..." he asserted, staring at him harshly, while Ryuk remained thoughtful."The way she was, he definitely said something.""Actually..." he murmured insecurely. "It was because I didn't say anything, I felt guilty and ashamed of myself for her going through this.""What are you planning t
