Semua Bab The Heir of My Enemy Is My Secret Lover.: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Cap. 31: The Man on My Tail"Don’t do this. You’re just giving him more ammunition to manipulate you and get what he wants. If that girl hadn’t died, judging by how much you cared about her death, I believe even she would’ve served his purpose. You get attached too easily." The man’s words echoed, heavy with accusation. Zen felt his body tense, his breathing quicken."If that were the case, I’d have sympathized with you already," he replied, his voice hoarse."But I’m not a woman. You only sympathize with women." The man smiled, a cruel gesture that twisted his lips. He then stood and walked toward the exit, leaving Zen alone with his turbulent thoughts."I’m waiting. Aren’t you coming?" he called to Zen once more, leaving him no choice but to follow.Zen was taken to the same building in the city center, where the morning mist obscured the towering skyscrapers. There, face to face with the man, he felt a mix of anger and helplessness. That piercing gaze, the carefully combed gray hair

Chapter 33: Following Their Steps He finally entered his home, the key turning in the lock with a familiar sound. The envelope in his hand felt heavier than it should, and his anxiety grew with each step. But as he stepped into the living room, his parents were waiting for him, their eyes gleaming with excitement."Look at this!" his mother exclaimed, holding out her phone to him. The screen displayed an absurdly large sum in a bank account.Zen frowned, trying to make sense of their enthusiasm."What about it?" he asked, his tone indifferent."This man, Cedrick Romanov, he never forgets our institution. Every six months, he donates an enormous fortune! It's been so many years now." His mother's voice faltered, and a tear slipped down her cheek.Zen looked at the phone screen, trying to process the information."Isn't that a good thing?" he asked, attempting to sound interested, though he felt an odd sensation within. "He's been doing this for so long now that it's not even surprising

Cap. 35: Covering the Mistake"He's here again?" Samuel asked, unfazed, as he saw Zen step out of the elevator right after Evandro and his partner. He watched as Zen subtly followed them, disguising his movements until they entered Lavínia's apartment. Then, he noticed a maintenance worker borrow a hat, cover his face, and sneak into the room."When you didn’t answer, he just entered the password. From now on, you either stay at my apartment or Zara’s—you’re not staying alone in your house anymore.""What is he? For God’s sake!" Zara exclaimed in panic, watching the footage from Lavínia's living room camera, showing Zen attacking someone in a fit of rage."He's terrifying!" Samuel pointed at the screen, still in shock. "What are we going to do?" he asked, while Lavínia stood with her arms crossed, staring at the footage without blinking."Erase everything related to this—every moment from their arrival to their departure," she instructed, her tone indifferent. Zara and Samuel exchanged

Chapter 37: The Mission Isn't OverPanic radiated from Zara and Samuel's eyes as they stared at each other. Samuel grabbed her tightly, pressing his hand over her mouth."As I told you, your shift is in the afternoon. Besides, why are you fighting over a younger guy? Are you interested in him? And don't forget: Lavínia owns this place. Do you want to lose your job and never get another one? The only person who can ruin your career is her, and she does it without hesitation," he said, his smile turning dark as the threat in his words intensified."A whim? Doesn't seem worth that much, does it?" Zara retorted with an ironic smile."Good morning, professor," Zen greeted her with a nod."Good morning, Zen," she replied with a grumble, averting her eyes. The irritation was evident, and he noticed it right away."I couldn't warn you earlier since I was thrown into this at the last minute. But I thought a company like this would have more organization when it comes to changes like this," he c

Chapter 39: Let Me Support YouLavínia averted her gaze, blushing intensely. Her hands covered her cheeks, trying in vain to hide the turmoil of emotions overwhelming her. A mischievous smile curved Zen's lips as he observed her reaction with evident satisfaction."Such nonsense. Why don't you go start your shift with that shameless woman?" she murmured, trying to sound indifferent, but her voice trembled."Cintia is quite professional. I never thought I could learn so many interesting things from a woman. Did you know she has various intriguing skills?" he remarked, crossing his arms and stepping closer. Lavínia stared at him, her eyes wide with surprise."Skills?" she repeated, her voice faltering."Yes, she's the kind of woman with many qualities. I suppose that's why most men..." He left the sentence hanging, an enigmatic smile on his lips."I don't care what she does or doesn't do, and I hope you two aren't breaking company rules," she interrupted, trying to change the subject."W
