บททั้งหมดของ Return of the betrayed MATE: บทที่ 101 - บทที่ 110

"Ramiro, the investigator, found him, sweetheart," Ragnar's response brings a glimmer of hope to Katrina. "He is here in Europe, in Greece. He didn't know about your existence, your mother and him stopped seeing each other before she found out she was pregnant."A muffled sigh comes out of Katrina's chest. Akira is attentive to every word of her companion."Why...?" she can't formulate the complete question due to the great turmoil in her head and heart."He was discovered and brought to trial by his superiors, so he was exiled and stripped of his duties as a celestial. Although he has not been stripped of his powers, he cannot exercise his previous functions. He is now a hotel entrepreneur living in the human world, like one of them."Katrina nods, but remains silent for a long time. Ragnar gives her space and time. He rests her head on his chest while gently stroking her back. The harmonious beats of Ragnar's heart and the soft purring of Remus manage to calm her a little."He will

Mauricio looks at his son-in-law, with his hands intertwined on the table."What do you plan to do, Jarl? Do you think you can hold out with what little you have left?"I will do whatever it takes, but I do not plan to lose the company.""You know you have my support, but still, we are not the majority, we have no way of having a say in important decisions. It will be best to find out who the new owner is, then analyze the possibilities we have.""When that man comes, I'll show him who's in charge here," Jarl rubs his face fiercely, as if trying to force himself awake. He has no doubt, it can only be Ragnar Shadowfang.He exits the room, slamming the doors with such force that even the window panes start to tinkle. Mauricio is left overwhelmed, indecisive, and powerless. Anyway, he doesn't have much to lose anymore. Everything went to shit since Katrina died and Jarl took over the fortune. If he had been a bit more careful in keeping the secret about the true will, everything would've

Ragnar gazes at Anabella's tombstone and sighs deeply. That smell, so characteristic of lilies, envelops him in a gust that seems to come out of nowhere. He closes his eyes and imagines her, just as he used to when she was alive. He can still feel her delicate hands cradling his face before softly blowing on his forehead a couple of times, claiming that it was enough to rid his mind of those dark thoughts that tormented him. Of course, it was; she was the cure to all his pain back then.A smile creeps onto his face as he remembers her. It's been a long time, but there are occasions when he can't help but miss her. He still feels something for her, but it's no longer love; it's a feeling very similar to unconditional fondness. Now he loves Katrina with all his might and is extremely happy with her and their little ones.Tomorrow morning is the trip to the Amazon, and he has no idea when he'll return to PineLands, so he decided to get up early to come here.Everything is ready to receiv

Ragnar is seated in the boardroom at Sofisthy, typing something on his computer when the young assistant enters with a cup of coffee and some folders. He asks her for other documents he needs.Jarl arrives and becomes furious seeing the stack of folders in his assistant's hands; he grumpily demands they be returned to their place and enters the boardroom practically emanating anger through his eyes.Ragnar isn't surprised by his attitude. The smell of alcohol and the late hour of his arrival say it all. He's most likely still drunk."Fenrisson," Ragnar checks the time on his watch. "I understand that the work hours started exactly three hours ago.""I can come whenever I want to my company," Jarl's rough reply makes Ragnar smile. "I don't have to follow the schedule of a common employee, especially since I have everything covered.""That's good that you have everything covered because I want to have all the documents ready for tomorrow's meeting."Ragnar settles in his chair and check

Outside the imposing building, Amber gets out of the taxi and sneaks in with a group of cleaners entering through the staff entrance. It's a different wing from where she wants to go, but she'll find a way to reach administration without being stopped. With some skill, she enters and grabs a uniform, puts it on, and with a tray in hand, she navigates the corridors trying to encounter as few people as possible. After much walking, she finally enters the administrative wing, continues discreetly through many corridors until she reaches the boardroom. "Are you bringing the refreshments?" The presidential assistant intercepts her on the way. "I'll see if you can go in now. Please wait in the staff area."Amber nods and pretends to walk towards the area the woman points to, but as soon as she's out of sight, she crouches and slips under a desk. The closed-door meeting lasts nearly two hours. Ragnar lays all his points on the table and listens attentively to everything Jarl dares to que
