I have never experienced such intense fear and shame simultaneously; it overwhelmed me relentlessly, as if warning me that I was in danger. I was terrified for myself and felt utterly foolish.I wasn't the first girl Eve had sent to him; she had sent many others who ended up dead. As I looked up at him, I trembled. I had revealed yesterday that I was a former employee of Eve, and I felt so foolish.“So…let me get the doctor,” he said, and I didn’t stop him anymore as he left, leaving me with my fear.Does he know I was sent here to kill him?Fear washed over me as I thought deeply. He wasn’t what everyone claimed he was; he was kind to me, and I felt safe in his arms. But now, all I felt was fear.Some might call it love, but I had no idea what to label it was it pity? I had witnessed how cruel and senseless Max could be. If I killed Silvio, I was sure I wouldn’t survive, and to make matters worse, I wanted Max and Vesper

"I wouldn't do anything for you," I spat, and she nodded to her men who held me up."You may wish for death, but do you know what's worse than death? It's letting Silvio learn everything about you. And let's not forget Vespera; she already hates you without knowing who you are. Just imagine if I told them both, it's game over for you. They wouldn't just give you a quick death; Silvio would boil you alive," she threatened, grinning at me.Silvio, I remembered the look in his eyes when he stood up for me. I could see he had a soft spot for me, and I couldn't bear to think about what would happen when he found out I was just one of the minions sent by his stepmother to kill him. Guilt overwhelmed me as I stumbled toward her."What do you want?" I asked, tears streaming down my face."Don't cry; you're stronger than you know, far stronger and more capable. I give you that," she said, and I glared at her. I didn't care if she was mocking or praising me; neither matter

“What!” I asked him, as if I had no idea what he was talking about.“I have a camera in my room, and I can clearly see Vespera trying the codes,” he whispered, and my eyes widened at his words.“I’m sorry, I didn’t have time to tell you. She pushed me off the stairs because she found out I caught her,” I said, and he nodded.“That’s settled. It’s probably Max who sent her that” he mumbled.“ Now come here,” he said as he pulled me onto his lap. I tried to hide my wince, as my body still hurt.He could see my expression, and as he looked at my face, he said, “You’re hurt. I thought you said you…” but I silenced him with a kiss. He kissed me deeper while holding me close.“I never got to thank you for standing up for me today. I wasn’t expecting it, and seeing as you’ve done that twice within twenty-four hours, I can’t help

I stood there in shock, my hands trembling as I held the picture. I knew everyone would see it as a coincidence, but I understood the truth; it was much deeper than that.Whatever Ruth said after that, I knew I didn’t grasp it, but the last thing I remembered was my head hitting the ground as my eyes closed and darkness enveloped me.I sighed as I opened my eyes and felt someone touching my face. The first person I saw was him, Silvio. His hair fell over his eyes as he looked at me.“You're awake,” he said as I sighed and sat up with his help, my head pounding as I recalled what had caused me to faint in the first place.“What happened?” I moaned as I held my head.“You fainted. As soon as I heard, I had to come for you,” he said, and I sighed again.“I’m okay,” I replied, but he shook his head.“No, you’re not. Don’t tell me that. You’re not. Why didn’t you tell me you didn’t get treated earlier today? You lied when I asked,” he said, and I looked away in shame.“The doctor was rude,

Fear gripped me, and I was shocked. I could hear the entire conference room holding its breath as they stared at me, but my eyes remained fixed on my father. Growing up as the illegitimate daughter in a billionaire family, I always had everything I wanted, except a real bond with my father. My mother told me they were together when I was born, but because of her status, he couldn't marry her. He came from a well-known family, and instead, he married Vivian when I was just a year old. I once longed for a closer connection with him, but it was hard. His wife kept him tightly controlled, always pushing me away. Even though he tried to bring me into his life, Vivian scared me off, and Vespera never missed a chance to mock me. My father never tried hard enough; he took care of my needs, but I rarely saw him—sometimes only once every three months or even six months. He seldom came around, and when he did, it was just to check on our well-being. He acknowledged me as his daughter, while
