Elena stepped forward, pointing a finger at her. “Lucas didn’t owe you anything. Not his forgiveness, not his love, and certainly not his mercy. And yet, despite everything, he was the one who took action for you. He was the one who made the Elliots pay for what they did. And you’re upset because of Richard?” She scoffed, shaking her head in disgust. “The same Richard who made your life a living hell? The same man who pushed you to the edge?”Isabella flinched at Elena’s words, her face paling.Elena stared Isabella down, her fury radiating off her in waves.“Did your conscience never prick you, not even once? Did you ever stop and wonder what kind of life Lucas had to live after you left?”Elena’s hands curled into fists. “You knew what kind of people the Elliots were. And yet, you still left him behind, your own child! What kind of mother does that?”“You say you didn&r

“Brother,” Mike called out to him.Silence.Lucas’ fingers stilled on his phone screen.Lucas didn’t acknowledge him.Didn’t look up.Didn’t even pretend to entertain the thought.Growing up, the word “brother” was nothing but a mockery to him.Uttered by Andrew with contempt and jealousy, a reminder of betrayal and the family that turned their backs on him.Now, hearing Mike call him that, Lucas couldn’t help but feel suffocated.Mike sensed the sudden change in Lucas’ aura and instinctively shrank back.“I don’t have a brother,” Lucas said flatly before turning back to his phone.The temperature in the room dropped.Mike’s forced smile faltered.He clenched his fists but quickly relaxed them, reminding himself of his father’s warning to behave.He wasn’t used to being ignored, let alone hum

There was a deafening crash as the tires screeched against the asphalt.Lucas moved with lightning speed and pushed himself forward.He threw his arms around Elena, his entire body shielding hers.Elena gasped, clutching onto him as the car lurched again.“Knox,” Lucas called out, his voice tight with warning.Knox’s grip on the wheel tightened. “It looks like the car behind us is trying to knock us off the road!”“Lose them.” He ordered.Elena’s fingers dug into Lucas’s sleeve. “Lucas… what’s going on?”Lucas lowered his gaze and gently stroked her hair. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”He then raised his head and looked into the mirror as he said in a chilling tone. “And Knox, If Elena so much as loses a single strand of hair, I’ll have your head.”Large beads of sweat immediately formed on Knox&r

Elena’s body froze.Her ears buzzed, and her mind turned blank.No.Lucas wouldn’t…He promised her.He said he would protect her and their baby.He said he would make everything right.How could he…Knox’s eyes were bloodshot, his face a storm of grief, regret, and self-blame.He couldn’t look at her.For so many years, he had stood in the shadows, silently protecting Lucas.He was Lucas’ sharpest blade, his guardian.But tonight…He failed.He couldn’t save the one person he had sworn to protect with his life.Knox’s body trembled as he lowered his head, unable to meet Elena’s lifeless gaze.“I’m sorry…”He knew the apology was useless.It couldn’t bring Lucas back.Knox’s heart shattered.For a man who never feared death, this was worse t

Helen couldn’t hold back anymore.Her heart ached for the girl who had lost the man she loved.Helen pulled Elena into her arms, her old hands trembling as she held her.Elena collapsed into her embrace, and both women cried helplessly, their sorrow echoing through the walls of the Evans estate.Lucas’ will was meant to provide security, but instead, it only deepened the wounds in everyone’s hearts.His absence felt more suffocating now.Elena’s breathing turned uneven, her chest tightening with unbearable grief.The family doctor, who had been on standby, immediately prepared for any emergency.“She needs rest,” Jane insisted, her voice firm despite the tears still glistening in her eyes.Without waiting, Jane helped her up and guided her toward her bedroom.Meanwhile, Harold gently took Helen’s hand, his grip both firm and comforting. “Come,” he murmured. &ld
