Chapter 292 A Deal

Ashton’s knees buckled and he went down hard on the marble floor, the sound echoing over the chatter of champagne glasses and false laughter.The hall erupted into gasps and shrieks. A circle of glittering gowns and tuxedos pressed forward, every pair of eyes wide with morbid curiosity.‘Ashton!’ I dropped beside him, my knees skidding on the polished tiles. His skin was burning beneath my touch. His eyes fluttered open, glazed, then rolled back.‘Someone call an ambulance!’ I shouted.‘I’ll handle it.’ Daniel crouched at my side, his phone already out.‘Do it fast,’ I snapped, brushing Ashton’s damp hair back. ‘Ashton, can you hear me? Stay with me.’A murmur ran through the crowd. I caught snatches. Fever. Infection. Poor man, after that ordeal at sea. Isn’t he the one supposed to be marrying that Lopez woman?‘Give him some space!’ I bar

Chapter 293 A Difficult Meeting

I hadn't seen Louisa Granger in months—not properly, not since my broken engagement with Rhys.She had always liked me. Sometimes I even thought she loved me more than my own mother did. When I was younger, she would invite me for tea in her sunlit drawing room, listen to my chatter, and beam at me as if she were already imagining me as her daughter-in-law. She wanted me to marry Rhys so badly it seemed like it was her dream as much as his.But that was before everything went wrong. Before Rhys destroyed whatever we had with a slap, before he married Catherine, and before the Granger family unraveled.Since then, I had kept my distance.Now I was walking into a quiet café in Midtown, the kind of place with whitewashed walls, leafy plants, and soft jazz floating from hidden speakers. Neutral ground. I thought it safer than her house, which was haunted with memories I didn't want to stir up.She was already there, sitting near the window with a cup of coffee untouched in front of her.L

Chapter 294 Blackmail Material

I had never been comfortable around Emmett Carlisle.He was Yvaine's older brother—tall, sharp-featured, and always dressed in dark suits that seemed to make his edges even sharper. If Yvaine was sunlight, Emmett was steel. He carried himself like a man who measured every word before letting it out, and most of the time, he decided that silence was better.When I called him to ask for a meeting, he agreed, but I could hear the unspoken question in his voice: Why me? Why now?We met in his office, a glass-walled space high above the city, with views stretching to the harbor. The shelves were lined with files, ledgers, and a few awards. Nothing personal, not even a photo frame. It was the office of someone who believed sentiment had no place in business."Mirabelle," he said when I walked in, his tone clipped. He stood, shook my hand briefly, and gestured for me to sit."Thank you for seeing me," I said, settling into the leather chair opposite

Chapter 295 Showdown

The hotel conference room smelled faintly of coffee and air freshener. Gerard Haldane was already there, seated at the head of the table. He rose when I walked in, his hand extended, his politician's smile warm and well rehearsed."Miss Vance," he said, as if we were old friends. "Daniel tells me you are quite the designer. I must admit, I expected someone… older. Please, sit."He gestured to a chair opposite him. His voice was smooth, the sort that had charmed donors and constituents for decades.I smiled politely and took the seat. "Thank you for agreeing to see me.""For Daniel's friends, always," Haldane said. His eyes flicked over me, quick and assessing. "Now, how can I help? Were you thinking of making a contribution to the commissioner's fund? We welcome support from the creative sector, especially one as talented as you."So that was it. He thought I was here to write a check.I folded my hands on the table. "Actually, I'm he

Chapter 296 The Enemy Retreats

I had been sitting on the Marchands' number for three days before I finally picked up the phone. My palms were damp, my heart racing as if I was about to jump off a cliff.Yvaine would probably have called it reckless. Ashton would have called it unnecessary. But I knew it was the next move.Françoise Marchand answered. Her voice was warm at first, polite, until I mentioned Lea Lopez. Then it froze."Why are you calling me about her?" she said, sharp as a blade."I need to tell you something," I said. "And I think you've suspected it for some time."Silence. Then, cautiously, "Go on.""I know what Lea did to Pierre. She made up the abuse claims. There was never any violence. She pushed the divorce through with lies because she wanted out; she wanted to be with Ashton, and Pierre was in the way."I heard Françoise's breath catch—a faint sound, almost like a muffled sob—but then anger hardened it. "We always th

Chapter 297 If You Wake Up

The hospital room was dim, except for the steady glow of the monitor by Ashton's bed. Machines hummed and ticked in a rhythm that had become both a comfort and a torment to me.I sat curled in the chair beside him, one hand resting on the blanket near his.He already looked thinner, as if the fever had carved him away in just a few days. His skin was pale, almost translucent under the harsh hospital lights, and his mouth was drawn tight even in sleep.Yet, even haggard like this, he was still devastatingly handsome. The sharp line of his jaw, the dark lashes against his cheek, the faint furrow between his brows—all of it made my chest ache.Sometimes he stirred, his lips moving faintly, a sound breaking out so soft I almost thought I imagined it.Then, once, unmistakably, he whispered my name.My throat closed up. I leaned closer, pressing my ear near his mouth as if he might say it again.He didn't.But I'd heard it, and

Chapter 298 Ashton: The Weight of Silence

I surfaced from the dark slowly, as though I were dragging myself out of deep water. My body felt heavy, my head thick, and for a long moment I couldn't tell if I was awake or still lost somewhere in the fog of fever. Shapes swam in and out of view, a dull light cutting through the haze.Then I saw her.Mira, sitting in the chair by my bed, her chin resting on her hand, her eyes fixed on me as if she were willing me to open mine.I thought I was dreaming again. My mind had played that trick before, conjuring her face when I drifted in and out of half-consciousness."Mira?" My voice was rough, barely more than a whisper.Her head snapped up, eyes wide. Relief flooded her face so fiercely it almost hurt to look at.She reached for my hand, holding it between both of hers as if she were afraid I might vanish."You're awake. Thank God, Ashton, you're awake."I tried to shift, the simple act of moving my right arm sending a bolt of

Chapter 299 Ashton: The Choice

The room was too quiet without her.I had asked Mira to leave, told her I needed rest. The words came out clipped, controlled, the way I always tried to sound when everything inside me was anything but steady.She hesitated, then left, and the soft click of the door behind her was sharper than any blade.I told myself this was for the best. She deserved a life unshackled by someone half-broken, someone who might never hold her the way she deserved again. Better to push her away now than let her waste years watching me struggle.And yet, as I lay there staring at the empty chair, the weight in my chest grew heavier with each breath.The minutes dragged. My hand throbbed with a dull ache, a constant reminder of what I might have lost.My heart ached worse.I tried closing my eyes, tried drifting back into the fever fog, but sleep wouldn't come. All I could think of was her face when I had turned her away. The hurt she tried to hide, the

Chapter 300 Childhood Sweetheart

Five weeks later‘Come to a party with me,’ Ashton said.I rolled over in bed, still half-asleep. ‘Nope.’I’d neglected Mira Joie long enough, and ever since he was discharged from the hospital, Ashton hadn’t left my side.When I woke up, he was there.When I went to bed, he was there.When I went to the bathroom, he was there.Yes, the sex was great and I enjoyed it very much, but I wasn’t a machine. I needed rest.Ashton prodded me again.‘You go.’ I rolled to the other side. I’d never liked those parties anyway, the ones filled with champagne, shallow small talk, and nothing meaningful.‘You’re my wife now. If you don’t come with me, should I find another woman to go with? It’s an important party tonight, and a date is compulsory. Do you want me to be the only one there alone, the one everyone laughs at?’I rolled my eyes, though he couldn’t see it. Who would dare laugh at Mr Ashton Laurent?Still, he had a point. I was his wife now, and the title came with certain duties.Reluctan

Chapter 301 Past Faces

Genevieve looked stricken.She lunged for Ashton’s arm.‘That’s impossible! How could you be married? You—’Ashton pulled his arm free of her grasp. ‘Yes, I’m married. And my wife,’ he glanced at me with a smile in his eyes, ‘is the jealous type. Best if you keep your distance.’As if that weren’t enough of a blow, he added, ‘Miss Crawford.’‘You used to call me Vivi…’ Genevieve’s face went pale.I shuddered as goosebumps prickled across my skin. I arched a brow at Ashton. Vivi, seriously?Genevieve’s hand clenched into a fist, her long painted nails biting into her palm, though she didn’t seem to notice.‘Mr Laurent!’ A tuxedoed man in his late twenties strolled over with the tallest, most willowy woman I’d ever seen hanging off his arm. ‘What a pleasant surprise!’He gave me a
