Chapter 52: PityAdrian's screams filled the darkness of the observation room. His body jerked against the restraints, his wrists bleeding, his face contorted in agony as he begged for something already lost. His pain was suffocating, his cries nothing short of desperate.But it was all a lie.Beyond the glass, the lifeless form in the doctor's hands was nothing more than a carefully crafted deception. It was merely a silicone replica meant to mimic what Adrian feared most. The woman lying unconscious on the operating table, half-covered by sterile blue sheets, was not Noelle. She was merely a hired double that Valerian had chosen to be part of, knowing that in Adrian's state of panic, he wouldn't notice the subtle differences.The real Noelle stood just a few feet behind Adrian, hidden in the darkness of the observation room.Tears streamed silently down her face, her hands trembling as she clutched at the fabric of her gown. She had agreed to this. She had thought she was prepared t

Chapter 54: WoundedValerian stood outside the operating room impatiently as he stared at the closed doors.His men had already handled Adrian, sedating him before dragging him back to his enclosed cell. Valerian hadn't even spared the bastard a final glance. He couldn't afford to waste a second of his attention on anything but her.She had already lost too much blood.And now, she might lose her child for real this time. He wasn't sure how she would react but wanted to make sure he would be there beside her.His jaw tightened as he exhaled slowly, forcing himself to stay in control. But the minutes stretched unbearably, the wait digging into his nerves like a slow, twisting knife.But it didn't even reach half an hour when the doors finally swung open.Dr. James stepped out, pulling his mask down as he walked toward Valerian with measured steps. His face was composed, but there was a heaviness in his expression that sent an immediate wave of dread through Valerian's chest."We couldn

Chapter 56: Lasting Moment"Are you okay now?" Alexei asked, his big silver-grey eyes that looked so much like Valerian's, began scanning her with deep concern.Noelle blinked at him, tilting her head slightly. "Why wouldn't I be?" she asked, brushing a few strands of his hair back.Alexei paused in confusion and immediately glanced toward his uncle for help. Without saying a word, the two began communicating through exaggerated gestures.Valerian who was still sitting on the side like an ignored extra, raised a brow and subtly motioned toward his arm, mimicking an injection. He then swirled a finger near his temple, signaling that Noelle was loopy from the anesthesia.Alexei's face lit up with understanding. His mouth formed a perfect "O" as he nodded dramatically before turning back to Noelle.Then, with the kind of seriousness only a kid could pull off, he patted her head gently."There, there. You'll be fine, my sweet mommy Noelle," he assured her, giggling.Noelle blinked at him,

Chapter 58: MercyCalix met Valerian's cold gaze head-on. "Adrian Blackwood violated my sister," he stated firmly with his voice. "And I want to make him pay for it."Valerian raised a brow at his impudence. His fingers, which had been lazily drumming against the desk, suddenly stopped.Slowly, he leaned forward as his silver-grey eyes darkened. "Your sister?" he repeated.Calix didn't hesitate to answer once more like he was stating an obvious thing. "Yes, Noelle."The silence that followed was deafening.It took a few good seconds before he spoke again."Now that is funny." His tone was sour as every syllable cut like a blade. "Because, Levi McGrath," he spat the name like it disgusted him, "I don't recall Noelle having a brother when she was crying out in my arms."The air between them suddenly turned suffocating as the weight of Valerian's words pressed down heavily on him, cutting out his guilt. Calix swallowed, but Valerian had no patience for whatever excuse he was about to of

Chapter 60: UndesirableThe ride to the hotel had been smooth. Although their moment back at the bar was filled with subtle tension and playful glances exchanged between sips of expensive liquor, Bianca knew exactly where it was heading, and she had no complaints. There was something about Valerian that intrigued her—not just his presence, not just his confidence, but the way he seemed so utterly in control without even trying.When they arrived, the private elevator took them straight to the penthouse suite. The moment the doors slid open, Bianca stepped inside first, taking in the sheer luxury of the space. The room was massive with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the city skyline. A fireplace crackled low in the corner, that gave a warm glow against the dark marble walls. The bed was large, impossibly inviting, and it stood at the center, draped in crisp black sheets."Not bad," Bianca murmured, slipping off her coat and draping it over the velvet chaise lounge. "I was expectin
