Chapter 41 — Trusting Him

Megan’s POVI had read the letter so many times that the words had started to blur together, yet the meaning remained painfully sharp.The black envelope lay open on my vanity, its contents spread out like an accusation. The seal of the clan elders—gold pressed into thick paper—glinted under the soft bedroom light, mocking me with its authority.A summon.A command.I leaned back into the chair slowly, my fingers tightening around the edge of the vanity as I stared at my reflection. The woman looking back at me looked calm, composed—unbothered, even.But beneath the surface, my mind was spiraling.In all my years under Luca’s roof, I had seen what a summons from the council meant. I had watched men crumble under the weight of it. Powerful men. Ruthless men. Men who once thought themselves untouchable.When the council called, they never did so without reason.I folded the letter carefully and set it down, exhaling through my nose as I rubbed my temples.Why now?The possibilities line

Chapter 42 — False Peace

Kai’s POVSomething felt off the moment Megan asked me to come over.She tried to sound normal on the phone, but I knew her better than that. Megan doesn’t just call without a reason. And she definitely doesn’t ask for time to “talk” unless something is bothering her deeply.I barely slept that night. My mind kept running in circles, thinking of all the reasons she could be worried. The kids. Her father. Joe. Any one of them could bring trouble, and Megan had been standing on thin ground for a while now.I kept replaying the phone call in my head. The way she hesitated, the small pauses, the rushed tone—it all told me something wasn’t right. She always hides things. Always. And I hate that I have to figure out what on my own.So I came early.Too early, maybe. But I couldn’t sit still knowing she was troubled and alone. I parked a little distance away, checking my phone for messages I hadn’t received, pacing around the car. Sleep felt impossible.When I arrived, the house was quiet. T

Chapter 43 — Restraint Before Chaos

Megan’s POVThe minute the sun rose on a new day, I was already awake.I hadn’t slept much. Maybe an hour, if I was being generous. My body rested, but my mind didn’t. It kept replaying the same thoughts over and over, like a broken record I couldn’t switch off.The summons.Joe.The council.My children.I sat at the edge of my bed for a long time, staring at nothing, before finally standing up. Today wasn’t the day for panic. Panic would come later. Right now, I need control.That was the only thing separating survival from chaos.I showered, dressed, and tied my hair back neatly. I chose a crimson trouser suit—not because it was loud, but because it reminded me of who I was now. Not the girl Joe once tried to cage. Not the woman people pitied.A woman who had learned restraint.Yes.I was going the legal way.If Joe planned to place claims on me—on my name, my future, my children—then I would face him in the only way he didn’t expect.Law, patience and strategy.Rushing would only

Chapter 44 — Overconfidence

Joe’s POVI had already won.That was the simple truth, no matter how anyone tried to twist it or pretend otherwise.Everything was falling into place exactly the way Carl said it would. The clan elders were already leaning in my favour. Old videos of Megan defending me were already secured. Blogs had been cleaned. Records wiped. History rewritten.People always say the past never stays buried.They’re wrong.With enough money, enough influence, and the right people pulling strings behind the curtain, even the past could be reshaped.Carl sat across from me, relaxed, legs crossed, coffee in hand, looking like a man who already knew the outcome of a game long before it finished.“So,” he said casually, eyes glinting with amusement, “the thought of having Megan back in your arms again… thrilling, right?”I smirked.Thrilling wasn’t even the word.It felt like reclaiming something that had always belonged to me. Something that was stolen. Something that dared to forget where it came from

Chapter 45 — Setting the Record Straight

Joe’s POVI knew I wasn’t supposed to lash out at my father.Men like Don Julian didn’t tolerate disrespect, especially not from their own blood. But the way he spoke to me tonight—like I was still some reckless boy living under his shadow—lit something ugly in me.It was always like this.No matter how far I climbed.No matter how much blood I spilled to protect the family name.No matter how many deals I closed without his help.There was always that look. That doubt.The look that told people I only stood where I stood because I was his son.That rumor had followed me for years. That everything I had was handed to me. That I never earned my seat, never fought my way up. And hearing him question me tonight, question my judgment, question my strength—It made my jaw lock tight as I gripped the steering wheel.Kai.That bastard had walked into my life unexpectedly and somehow convinced everyone he was the solution to problems he created. The council, the fight for power, Megan—Everyt

Chapter 46 – Cold Feet

Megan’s POV“Are they sound asleep now?” I asked Kathie absentmindedly as soon as I heard her footsteps in the living room.The house was quiet now—too quiet. I sat stiffly on the couch, my elbows resting on my knees, fingers intertwined.The thought of losing to Joe was not as frightening as the thought of him taking my boys from me.That fear alone was enough to keep my mind in a haze Victoria Hale had given me leverage—real leverage. Proof that I had been sick and tired of my marriage to Joe long before I left. Proof that I didn’t wake up one day and decide to destroy my home out of spite. I had left because I was unhappy. Because I was broken. Because I wanted out.Still, fear didn’t disappear just because logic existed.Kathie answered faintly, pulling me out of my thoughts.“Yes, ma’am. They’re sound asleep.”I didn’t turn to look at her.Maybe my mind was drifting too far from reality. Or maybe I just didn’t want to face anyone at that moment. I had taken the boys out to the p

Chapter 47 — The Council

Megan’s POVAs you might have guessed by now, anytime I had a difficult day ahead, sleep never came.It was as though the weight of everything had splurged out all the sleep in my eyes and completely drained me.I didn’t toss and turn on the bed. I succumbed to my nature and simply stayed awake.It was the very night before the summon, Kathie and I sat in the living room with documents spread across the table, legal papers neatly stacked, handwritten notes scattered everywhere. The house was void of noise, just the dimly lit overlook of the city. The boys were asleep upstairs. I had checked on them more times than necessary, brushing my fingers through their hair, watching their chests rise and fall, memorizing their faces like I might need those memories to survive what was coming.Kathie kept rubbing her palms together nervously.“We have to be careful with how we speak,” she said for the third time that night. “This isn’t a normal court.”“I know,” I replied softly.The clan elder

Chapter 48 — The Lion’s Den

Megan’s POVBy the time everyone had finally settled into their seats, my mind had already run a marathon and crawled back broken.I couldn’t breathe properly.The council chamber had gone completely silent, but it wasn’t peaceful.This place wasn’t a courtroom. It was a lion’s den.All of them were waiting. Waiting for someone to fall. Waiting to devour.I slowly looked around the dim hall, my eyes dragging across the ancient walls. Stone carvings lined them, deep and rough, etched with symbols of old power and older bloodshed. Names of men who once ruled, men who had judged others and walked away untouched. This chamber had witnessed countless verdicts, countless punishments, countless lives destroyed with nothing but a word.I wondered how many women had walked into this place hopeful and walked out shattered.Kathie sat beside me, her hand still wrapped tightly around mine. Her grip was firm, grounding, like she was afraid I might disappear if she let go. I was grateful for her pr

Chapter 49 — The Weight of Judgment

Megan’s POVThe very moment Flavio granted me permission to speak, every eye in the chamber locked on me—daring, snarling, already judging.But I couldn’t care less. I was here to liberate myself, and I was going to do just that.Kathie gave me one reassuring look before I made my way to the podium right beside the taunting Joe.I sighed confidently, staring into the crowd as I began.“I was never irritated in my marriage,” I started calmly, forcing my voice not to shake. “I was pushed to my limit, but I never reacted badly. I endured more than I should have.”A scoff came from the elders’ row.Joe sighed loudly, shaking his head like a disappointed, wannabe husband.“Megan,” he started softly, “this is exactly what I mean. You are fond of twisting things to your favour and creating the image you want.”“Oh really?” I snapped. “I guess seeing you in bed with my sister was also imagined, right?”The elders exploded into a wild rumble.“Watch your tone!” “She’s proving his point.” “Unst

Chapter 50 — Karma Served Cold

Megan’s POVThe chamber froze in shock.Every sound died the moment Kai walked into the room, his presence cutting through the room like a poison. Guards followed behind him in perfect formation, alert and ready, and right at his side was his right-hand man, Anton, holding a black leather suitcase tightly in his grip.For a second, I thought I was imagining things.“Kai…” my voice escaped me before I could stop it.I was equally shocked to find him here.How did he know?How did he even get inside a summon like this?“Let a single strand of her hair be touched,” Kai said coldly, his voice carrying across the chamber, “and this council will regret it.”The threat was laced with a calmness that made it terrifying.A few elders shot to their feet in anger, slamming their hands on the table.“This is an insult!”“Who dares speak like this here?”“Remove him at once!”Flavio De’Flavio slowly leaned forward in his seat, his sharp eyes fixed on Kai.“Who is this man?” he grunted, his tone he
