Semua Bab Beneath The Billionaire’s Mask: Chasing The Nanny: Bab 151 - Bab 160

Brayden sat in his office, his fingers lightly tapping against the surface of his desk as he stared at the computer screen before him. The deal he had spent weeks orchestrating was finally coming to its conclusion. The Royal Castle’s owner had agreed to meet and finalize everything, and with that, one of the most important pieces of the puzzle would fall into place. He leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing slightly as he considered every angle. This deal wasn’t just another business transaction—it was a carefully calculated move to dismantle the Black Serpent’s influence.He had spent years gathering information, waiting for the right moment to strike. The Royal Castle’s owner had his hands in many things, including the media, and that made him a valuable asset. But even valuable assets had their weaknesses, and Brayden had found his. The owner had been desperate to secure a certain media station abroad, something that would expand his influence and p

Penelope woke up to the soft golden light filtering through the curtains of her small apartment. The room was quiet except for the rhythmic ticking of the clock on the wall, and for a moment, she just lay there, soaking in the peacefulness of the morning. But then she remembered Anya, still asleep in the other room, and a smile curled on her lips. She had promised to make breakfast before the little girl woke up, and she intended to keep that promise.Pushing off the covers, Penelope swung her legs over the side of the bed and stretched, rolling her shoulders to ease the slight stiffness in her muscles. She had fallen asleep late the night before, caught up in thoughts about Brayden’s promise to call her back. Even though she had no expectations, a small part of her had anticipated hearing from him sooner. But she shook those thoughts away. Right now, her priority was Anya.Stepping into the small kitchen, she tied her hair into a loose bun and rolle

Brayden leaned back against the plush leather couch in his expansive living room, a glass of whiskey in his hand as he swirled the amber liquid absentmindedly. Across from him, Ryder sat with one ankle resting over his knee, his expression thoughtful as they discussed their next course of action. The room was dimly lit, the low glow from the fireplace casting flickering shadows against the dark walls. A heavy silence lingered between them, filled only by the occasional clink of ice in their glasses and the soft hum of the city beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows.Brayden exhaled, his mind occupied with the loose ends they still needed to tie up. “We need to figure out exactly how deep this mess runs. I don’t like the fact that we still don’t have a full picture of who’s pulling the strings,” he muttered, his tone low and sharp.Ryder nodded in agreement, his fingers tapping against his thigh as he considered their options. “We’ve been eliminating thr

Brayden stood outside Darla’s hospital room, his arms crossed over his chest, deep in thought. The air in the corridor was thick with tension, a heavy silence stretching between him and Ryder as they waited for Inez. The minutes felt longer than they should have, and every second that passed without answers only fueled Brayden’s impatience. He had dealt with betrayals and deceptions before, but something about this situation unsettled him. It wasn’t just about Darla being poisoned—it was about the fact that someone had been bold enough to attempt it under his watch.The soft sound of approaching footsteps broke through the stillness. Inez walked toward them, her expression serious as she held a thick folder in her hands. Without a word, she handed it to Brayden, her sharp eyes scanning his face as he took it.“This is everything,” she said quietly. “Her medical records, the toxicology report, and a few additional notes from Dr. Lee.”Brayden flip

Brayden’s grip tightened on the steering wheel as he swerved, attempting to maneuver around the sudden obstacle in their path. A sleek black SUV had pulled out of nowhere, cutting them off with perfect timing, forcing him to slam the brakes. The tires screeched loudly against the pavement, the smell of burnt rubber filling the air as their momentum jolted them forward.“Damn it!” Ryder snapped, his eyes darting between the car and the woman they had been tailing. “She’s getting away!”Brayden barely spared him a glance, his entire focus locked onto the fleeing figure as she darted toward the crowded street ahead. His mind worked quickly, analyzing the situation, looking for a way out, but the SUV in front of them refused to budge.The driver of the obstructing vehicle didn’t step out or even roll down their window. The tinted glass made it impossible to see who was inside, but their intentions were clear. They weren’t here by accident.“Move the d
