You are all aware of this, so I don't understand why you're causing such a commotion. What do you want? For us to remain the same when all of this hits the media in the future? We're making progress without the Romanovs, but if we partner with them and carry an association like that, we’ll be destroyed along with their company someday!" she asserted, and those were the last words heard in the room. Then, she left, heading to her office.Still, one of the shareholders knocked on her door. "Come in!" she called. "Ms. Bayer, we still have a question regarding this issue.

You know I try to help you as much as I can, but this is beyond my control now. You’ve been reckless. I can’t interfere in family matters,” the man said before turning and walking away.Zen placed Lavínia on the back seat of the car and headed to the hospital, sighing heavily several times, his worry evident. When he finally arrived, she was attended to while he paced outside, walking back and forth nervously.“Zen Obedon?” the doctor calle

Cap. 15: Who Punished You?"I'm not saying anything, we’ve arrived. Even though you're exhausted, we still have to work later," he warned, his voice tinged with exhaustion that contrasted with the growing tension between them. As she opened the car door, an ironic smile curved her lips."Good luck to you. I don't need to worry about that. Just go. Don’t you need to rest and return this car that's above your expectations for life? And just so you know, it's almost nine," she said with an arrogance bordering on cruelty, turning her back on him with disdain.He watched her walk away, her slender figure disappearing into the doorway of the building."Anyone who looks would think she’s something other than a woman riding on the back of her rich friend," he thought, a bitter smile curving his lips. Before he could start the engine, the car door opened, and three men entered, sitting in the back seats. The calmness with which they did so was more terrifying than any explicit threat."Drive on

With every movement, Zen’s pain intensified, but he ignored it, focused on helping Lavínia. They continued in silence, and this time she didn’t argue with him. She noticed he was very different from earlier in the day, even noticing a slight swelling at the side of his eyes. That look of disdain had been replaced by one of exhaustion, almost resignation. They were at the last pile when he let out a soft groan as he placed it on the ground. "For someone so young, you're really out of shape," she commented, examining him more closely. But he didn’t even respond, sweating coldly, sighing heavily several times, trying to disguise the pain consuming him. "It’s time, right?

Chapter 19: A StalkerLavinia was dragged to a blind spot where the light was scarce. The man let her go abruptly, but she held onto the wall, her nails leaving red marks in the paint. The air was damp and heavy, carrying a metallic smell that made her shiver."How long are you going to keep bothering me?" he asked, his voice low and hoarse echoing in the hallway."Until you understand that I won’t give in!" she asserted, her voice firm despite the fear consuming her.
