Chapter 142 – The Hidden RetreatThe two were alarmed. Zen carried her in his arms when he realized she showed no signs of consciousness, but the situation seemed more complicated than they had imagined.“What are we going to do?” Adrian asked, staring at Zen in panic.“I don’t know. We should have gone back. Now we’re almost halfway across the island, near the edge of the map. How are we going to get her help in time?” he lamented, keeping his gaze fixed on her.“Come with me. There’s an inn nearby.”A young man suddenly appeared, carrying a bundle of tied branches.“Who are you?” Zen asked, suspicious.“Look... I don’t think this is the time for that question. Put your friend on your back and follow me. There’s a healer here who can help. At the very least, it's closer than the inn near the beach. And, just to correct you, you’re not even close to halfway across the island yet. Now let’s go!” he urged them.Adrian helped Zen adjust Lavínia on his back, and the two followed the myste

144 – Drowning in the PastThey knew she was crying because of Zara, but no one knew what to say. Silence stretched between them as they continued drinking together, unable to dispel the tension in the air. The night felt endless, and the one who had been the most eager to drink was, in truth, the one still the most sober, trying to keep control of the situation."You're going to marry me, right?" Zen asked Lavínia, his voice thick with the hiccups of drunkenness. "Look! I promise I’ll buy you flowers every day, I swear! I’ll buy flowers and make you breakfast. You are the first and only woman I can love. I don’t care what anyone says, as long as you’re with me. I will make Bowen pay for every single day of his life—no one lays a hand on my woman and walks away unscathed.""Really?" Lavínia asked, equally intoxicated, her face still swollen from crying. "I loved seeing him on his knees, begging for his life! And I know you can do it! I know you can take care of me because you kill eve

146 – The Truth Behind the Lies"How is this possible… So, she was right there from the beginning." One of the girls commented excitedly, breaking the silence."Well… We’ll head home in the late afternoon. Enjoy as much as you can, and if you still want to, go ahead and interrogate Mrs. Bayer as you planned. She’s not as terrifying as she seems." Samuel said, glancing at Lavinia, who looked a little downcast as she gazed at Zara, who returned her look with a smile."Unfortunately, you’ll have to do that at the company. We need to head back, but don’t worry—tomorrow will be a day off for Alpha Corp." Lavinia announced, and everyone cheered.After boarding, the boat trip continued. Zen stayed by her side, and this time, the whispers grew even louder—everyone found it strange that an ordinary employee was so close to Mrs. Bayer."Come with me!" Lavinia called, pulling him by the arm, ignoring the curious looks."Did something happen?""I forgot to tell you something very important," she

148 - Unraveling the TruthAfter a few minutes, Lavínia went upstairs and entered his room. She found Zen sitting on the floor, leaning against the bed, his gaze lost. Without saying a word, she sat beside him. The two remained in silence, side by side."Do you know how you're going to face the world out there after learning the truth?" he asked, still trapped in his thoughts."Are you talking about how to face the ones trying to kill me?" she retorted with a bitter smile. "I'm hurt, broken, disappointed... It's so many things.""You were thrown into all of this out of nowhere... You should get out while you still can," he advised, his voice low."Why are you saying that?""Because I'm not good, she's not good, and the people around you are not worthy of your trust.""But I want to trust you.""I remember our conversation... I opened my mouth and said too much...""Did you really kill people?""That's what I am. I know I treat you well, I pretend to be a good guy, and I'm like this on

150 – The Weight of BetrayalSamuel sat beside Lavinia, his eyes filled with excitement as he observed her reaction."She said she received an emergency donation and that she'll be fine for a while," he announced, squeezing her hand comfortably and sharing his enthusiasm.Lavinia forced a smile, her head feeling foggy. A moment later, Samuel’s eyes met Zen’s, and for a brief second, they appeared glossy, on the verge of tears.She had never seen him look like that. She knew what it meant and how afraid he was now. Without a word, Zen averted his gaze and walked out of the room, slamming the door behind him."What’s wrong with him?" Samuel asked curiously."Nothing. I had asked for an urgent document, and for a moment, it seemed like he forgot," she replied with a weak smile.Suddenly, her hands started trembling. Lavinia pulled her hand away from Samuel’s and pressed her fingers against her chest, trying to steady her emotions."What’s going on? This behavior..." Samuel murmured, noti
