Semua Bab ON THE BRUTAL BILLIONAIRE'S BED: Bab 121 - Bab 130

LANAI got up from the bench I had been sitting on, only to hear Maximum telling my dad, "Step aside, old man. I’m not here for you."My dad retorted with a roar, "You’re in my house, ordering me around? Do you want me to give the order to my men to blow your head off? Huh?"Before I could reach them, my father’s men had already drawn their guns, all pointing directly at Maximum.In response, Maximum pulled out his own weapon, aiming it at my father.Seeing this scene unfold, fury surged through me. My chest was boiling with anger—how dare they show such disrespect on my mother’s funeral day? Their blatant disregard for her memory was unbearable."Enough!" I yelled, my voice trembling with rage. Tears welled up and spilled down my cheeks; I hated the way I was feeling—so helpless, so furious.Step by step, I moved closer. When Maximum saw me, he lowered his gun, his face revealing a longing that I couldn’t reciprocate. I felt nothing but disgust at the look of love on his face right t

LANAShe sniffed, and then faced me, her calmness gone—she was trembling, tears brimming in her eyes. "Lana, I am so sorry. I wish I could have been a better mother to you. I feel like I failed you."She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, her voice trembling as she continued. I was crying too. "Lana, everything I did to you, I regret it all. I am your mother, and I will always love you. But be careful of Maximum — your husband. His intentions aren’t pure, and he wants to use you to get close to the Wilson family. I love you, Lana. I will always love you."Her words left no secrets; I was convinced that Maximum was lying to me. A chill ran down my spine, and I couldn’t believe the man I married could be so deceptive.That night, I cried myself to sleep. The next morning, I was already burning with fever when my dad entered my room.“I’ll call the doctor,” he said, stepping aside to make the call. A few minutes later, the doctor arrived, checked my temperature, and administered a

LANAI told my dad, “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll get through these feelings. I won’t let him win.”My dad looked at me thoughtfully, sighed ruefully, and said, “I understand how you’re feeling. I believe you’ll get over it.”“Thank you, Dad,” I replied softly.He nodded, then turned and headed out of the room. I lay on my bed, but after a few minutes, I forced myself to get up, wash up, and prepare for school.I descended the staircase and had breakfast with my dad before leaving the house. When I arrived on campus, we had lectures scheduled for the day.As I approached the car where my driver had parked, I suddenly heard a familiar voice call my name. “Lana.”Startled, I froze. My heart pounded in my chest. For a moment, I felt a flicker of hope.I hesitated, trying to ignore him, and kept walking away, hoping he’d call after me or stop me. But he didn’t.I got into the car feeling disappointed and a little frustrated. As I looked out the window, I saw him standing there, staring after me

LANAI was stunned when my dad returned barely thirty minutes after he had left. As he approached from the other end of the corridor, his footsteps quickened, and he looked extremely anxious.My heart started pounding with fear, and I instinctively stood on my toes, asking, "Dad, what happened?"He looked at me seriously, then asked, "Did you tell Maximum that you’re planning to divorce him?"I didn’t try to deny it. Instead, I nodded and affirmed, "Yes."He fell silent, his face unreadable, and remained quiet for two long minutes. I had no idea what he was thinking, and the tense silence made my stomach tighten with anxiety. I wondered what was going through his mind.Finally, he sighed heavily and said regretfully, "Don’t you think you’re rushing into this? Have you really made up your mind? Do you still love him?"I was taken aback by his tone—he seemed confused, almost conflicted. I had always thought he didn’t want me and Maximum together, but now he seemed unsure and strange.“I

LANAI took the pill bottle from my dad, and he nodded in satisfaction before smiling warmly. "You are the true daughter of your father," he said softly.I didn't bother asking what the pills were for—deep down, I already knew. My dad had never hidden his intentions regarding Maximum, though I thought it was an extreme measure.But now, my feelings had shifted."Edward is awake. Would you like to see him?" my dad suggested.Thinking it over, I realized it was best to see Edward with my dad—to avoid any misunderstandings with my husband. I nodded without hesitation. “Yes, let’s go and see him.”My dad smiled and started the car. He drove out of campus, but barely had we left the gate when my phone rang. I stared at the screen—Maximumm calling.I hesitated, debating whether to answer.“Your phone is ringing. Who is calling?” my dad’s voice broke into my thoughts.I looked at him briefly before answering. “It’s Maximum.”His expression darkened, and his eyes grew fierce—an unmistakable l
