CHAPTER 41: A FLICKER OF AFFECTION

CELINE'S POVI stood behind Calista and Mr Raviel with a calm expression on my face, but my mind worked efficiently. "Continue monitoring his office. Report to me as soon as he comes out." I said into the earpiece and ended the call promptly. My eyes flashed at Calista again, and I inwardly sighed in relief when I realized she hadn't noticed the call. Mr Severin... He mustn't know about Mr Raviel's existence. Calista had decided to keep it secret, and it made me wonder why she kept inviting Mr Raviel to places with crowds. Where people could easily see them and probably report back to Mr Severin. But whatever the case was, my duty was to make sure Mr Severin's movement was under watch, and I could immediately put things under control the moment he stepped out of his company. A ring interrupted my thoughts, and I tapped the earpiece. "What's it?" I asked. "Miss Celine, the data has been encrypted safely. Be assured. No one can hack it anymore."Hearing the word of the professio

CHAPTER 42: FAILED... AGAIN

DRAKE'S POVI stood at the corner, watching as everyone attended to each other. No one knew me, and honestly, I wasn't supposed to be there. I wasn't invited. However, wherever my target was, I had to be. It had been this way for two years already, and while I hadn't gained much, I wouldn't back off either. It was a work given to me, and it needed to be done without flaws. I slowly sipped the fruit wine in my glass while my eyes lingered on the target, a frown deepening on my face as I tried to see through the man next to her. Tall, handsome, but none of these features mattered when compared to the danger I felt whenever I looked at him. Even when he wasn't looking, his presence was like a bomb. He was like a snake watching through the ceiling, capable of wrapping around my neck anytime. Though I knew he might not know about my presence at the moment as no one in the room would, considering my disguise___ a brown wig and a pair of black glasses. I took the identity of an heir

CHAPTER 43: CONFRONTATION

CALISTA'S POV I hooked my arm around Raviel's as I greeted the executives who came around. "Miss Calista," I suddenly heard a call behind me. A familiar voice. My smile faltered, and my eyes flickered with Raviel, who was beside me. Our eyes hooked. Our arms were hooked...I sighed and finally turned around, facing Selene. "Hi?" I greeted with a smile. Selene's eyes sized Raviel, and she crossed her arms. "See who's here." She laughed. "Isn't this our Calista with someone else? Or has Mr. Severin changed so much?" She questioned. My heart sank slightly. Selene was a Bitch. She would stop at nothing to make sure Severin knew about my relationship with Raviel..."Maybe you need your eyes checked, Selene," I muttered and quickly composed myself. Even if she said anything, it didn't matter. Severin had never monitored me, and with a few words, I could always let him understand that there was nothing between Raviel and me. Raviel wasn't the type to talk either. Selene snickered.

CHAPTER 44: DOUBT

CALISTAMy brows twitched. What did she mean?Selene laughed maniacally. "What a big fool. No one likes you, Calista. No one will ever do."My heart pounded. Breath hitched and breathing became difficult. My legs weakened, and I nearly fell, but a pair of hands held my waist from behind. Turning my head, I saw Raviel smiling down at me. A rarely genuine smile. Comforting and assuring. I swallowed and closed my eyes. How could I let Selene's words affect me so much?Selene wasn't human. She was a devil!A beast in a human form. So, why should I believe what she said? Why would I believe what she said to me?My skin prickled. I rubbed roughly, and for a moment, I felt like I had traveled back in time. I was on the ground, small and trembling. Tears rolled down my face as whips tore my skin. Laughter rang in the air. Not many people, but a person. Selene. Her small hand... we were less than 16. We were so young, but she was so evil. I was in pain, but she laughed. She enjoyed

CHAPTER 45: CELESTE

SEVERINI rubbed my temple weakly. The files before me were so many that they gave me a headache. Having been sitting in the office for more than an hour, I couldn't help but curse my luck. This wasn't expected. Indeed, I should have returned home after leaving Selene's place, but who would have thought one of my secret bodyguards would call me to let me know that Calista had already returned home...I had no choice. Returning home would mean explaining my whereabouts to her, and sincerely, at the moment, I wasn't ready to tell Calista any more lies. So, instead of returning home to face her, I decided to make my office my alibi. My plan was to stay for an hour and then rush back home... that would be enough to let her know I went to the office. But things went wrong. My assistant threw more than expected documents before me like she was in a frenzy, blaming me for not coming to the office for so many days and then making me work so hard...What was worse, Calista was angry.

CHAPTER 46: CALISTA'S FEAR

CALISTAI walked into my house with a slightly heavy heart. The thought of Severin occupied my heart heavily, and for a moment, I couldn't decide what to do. However, a phone call broke through this silence, and glancing at my phone, I realized it was a call from Celine. I sat down and answered the phone call. "Did you see anything?" I asked forcibly. Honestly, I felt guilty about everything. Severin had been nothing but loyal to me all these years, and not once had he doubted me, but I was the first to do so. What was even more annoying was that the reason I doubted him was that Selene said something. Selene of all people...I closed my eyes and drew in a deep breath. I'd done it already, and there was no need to keep it dragging for too long. "Report," I said rigidly. Celine was silent for a moment, and my heart skipped a beat. Did... something truly go wrong?

CHAPTER 47: REALIZATION

CALISTA I stopped before the door with a wooden face. I had deliberated over a million times while walking up to this face, but in the end, I couldn't afford to go back. My thoughts were in shambles. I knew I shouldn't be like this to someone who genuinely loved me, but I couldn't erase the unease in my heart either. With a firm bite on my lower lip, I pressed the button on the door and waited with bated breath. The wait seemed neither fast nor slow, but my heartbeat sounded louder with each passing second. I stared at the door, unable to comprehend what was going on in my head. However, I didn't have time to wait for too long when I heard a voice from within the room. "Did you order anything, my love?" The person seemed to be opening the door but was still speaking to someone else instead. Was it a feminine voice and the tone? My heart sank. Could Severin truly be in the room?I waited impatiently as the door creaked and opened. A lady stood by the door, dressed in transp

CHAPTER 48: DEFIANCE

CALISTA'S POV Severin ran his fingers through his hair. His hand moved, seemingly trying to hold mine, but I stepped back to avoid it. His jaw clenched. "I'm sorry, Calista." He mumbled. I drew in a deep breath and slowly moved forward, sitting in the bed to avoid falling down. My legs were weak. Standing had become a little difficult, but I wouldn't let them see that. I wouldn't let them make a joke out of me. Severin stood before me. His eyes were on me, and his lips parted several times, but no word came out. "What was the information about?" I asked again. I could remember he mentioned that earlier, and judging by his words, I could tell he had a deal with the attendant. Severin's eyes flickered___ hesitation? But his lips moved. "It's about my inheritance." He mumbled, and his eyes lowered. Without a doubt, I could tell he had never planned to tell me this. Normall

CHAPTER 49: KNOWING HIM

SEVERIN I couldn't believe what was going on before me. My heart trembled, and guilt formed a knot in my chest. Was this my fault? Had I gone so far that Calista had gone crazy?Seeing the blood pooling up underneath the informant girl, I couldn't help but turn my head away. Knowing that making a call could annoy Calista more. What was more important at the moment was to appease Calista even though I had no idea how she followed me here. "Clean your hands with this." I handed a wipe to her with a fawning smile on my face. God knew I had never acted this way toward anyone in my life. Not even my old monster of a father could make me feel this way. However, looking at Calista at the moment, my palms sweated. Not from fear but from someone hidden within. Excitement. Calista was always gentle and easygoing. Despite being the daughter of a demon like Dante, she was too cool. Every time, I couldn't help but wonder how she was able to survive for so long. Without a doubt, I knew she

CHAPTER 50: HIS PLEA; HIS DOMINANCE

CALISTA'S POV "You, what do you know about Selene?" I asked with a racing heart. Selene... I should have forgotten her. I shouldn't have thought about her again, but when I saw the attendant's pale face when she was being taken out by Celine, something clicked in my head, and my heart trembled. It wasn't an illusion. I wasn't imagining things. The attendant... she looked so much like Selene!I hadn't noticed it initially as my thoughts were muddled, but when I saw that face again, the paleness after losing so much blood, what I saw wasn't the attendant but... Selene. The same Selene that haunted my childhood...The same Selene who told me about Severin today. What was their connection?My palms became sweaty as I waited for his reply. Severin seemed to freeze. He stared at me with shock and surprise in his eyes. For a long while, he couldn't say a word. And my he
