Redeeming Alessandre: Claiming the Billionaire ice Queen のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 91 - チャプター 100

Alessandre The photograph slipped from Ophelia’s fingers. Not because she was careless. Because she was shocked. I caught it before it hit the floor. The second my eyes landed on the image, every muscle in my body locked. I knew that photograph. God help me, I knew it. Six years ago. The night everything ended. The night I’d lost her. The picture showed us standing outside the research facility. Ophelia was smiling. Actually smiling. Not the controlled public smile she wore now. Not the polished CEO expression. A real one. The kind that reached her eyes. The kind I hadn’t seen in years. My chest tightened. Then I noticed something else. The angle. The distance. The timing. Someone had been watching us. Even then. “Where did this come from?” Charlotte whispered. The security guard shook his head. “It was delivered ten minutes ago.” “No cameras?” “Nothing useful.” I looked down at the words written beneath the photograph. YO

Alessandre Sleep never came. Not for me. Not for Ophelia. The penthouse remained silent long after Ethan’s call ended, but silence didn’t mean peace. It meant waiting. And waiting had always been the worst part. I stood by the windows sometime after three in the morning, staring at the city below. The lights blurred together. My reflection stared back from the glass. Tired. Older. Angrier. Ophelia sat on the opposite side of the room with her laptop open. She wasn’t working. I knew she wasn’t. The same spreadsheet had been sitting on her screen for twenty minutes. Her eyes weren’t reading. They were remembering. Just like mine. Neither of us mentioned the call. Not yet. Because once we started talking about it, everything would become real. And neither of us seemed eager for that. Eventually she closed the laptop. The sound echoed through the room. “I think he’s telling the truth.” There it was. The conversation we’d both been avo

AlessandreBlood.One word.One detail.One horrifying possibility.The balcony became completely silent.Charlotte stood frozen near the door.Ophelia had gone pale.For a second nobody moved.Nobody spoke.Nobody even seemed capable of processing what we’d just heard.Then instinct took over.“How much blood?”Charlotte blinked.“What?”“How much?”Her expression tightened.“A lot.”My stomach dropped.Not because blood automatically meant death.It didn’t.But because blood meant violence.And violence meant escalation.The people Ethan described had stopped hiding.The game was over.Now somebody was making moves.Fast.Dangerously fast.“When did security arrive?”“Twenty minutes ago.”I swore.Immediately reaching for my phone.Three calls later we were already moving.Charlotte was coordinating security.Ophelia was calling investigators.And I was trying very hard not to think about all the ways this could go wrong.Because there were too many.Far too many.⸻The safe house s

Ophelia The city looked normal from above.That was always the lie.Lights moved through streets like nothing had changed, cars obeyed traffic laws, people lived inside routines that gave them the illusion of control.But Ophelia no longer trusted normal.Not after fire.Not after blood.Not after Alessandre walking into something that should have killed him without hesitation.She stood in front of the glass window of her penthouse, arms folded tightly across her chest, watching her reflection instead of the world beyond it.Behind her, the room was filled with screens.Data.Reports.Failures disguised as warnings.Charlotte spoke carefully, like every word had to be approved by survival instinct before leaving her mouth.“This isn’t isolated anymore.”Ophelia didn’t turn.“I already know that.”Charlotte hesitated.“It’s global.”That made her pause.Just slightly.But enough.Ophelia turned slowly.“What do you mean global.”Charlotte tapped her tablet, pulling up linked breach r

Alessandre The white did not feel like light.It felt like absence pretending to be light.Ophelia blinked once.Then again.But the world did not return in full.Only fragments.Sound first.A distant hum collapsing into silence.Then pressure.Then breath.Then Alessandre’s hand still holding hers.That was the first thing she fully recognized.Not the system.Not the Founder.Not the room.Him.And that alone anchored her.Slowly, the environment rebuilt itself.Not smoothly.Not gracefully.Like reality recovering from damage it did not understand how to process.The room was still there.But wrong.The screens were dark.The projections gone.The structured order replaced by instability.Charlotte was on the floor, breathing heavily, trying to orient herself.And then—The Founder appeared.Not on a screen.Not as projection.Physically.Standing in the center of the room like he had always been there.But now—Something was different.His composure remained.But the system behi
