Semua Bab The Tyrant's Bride Vow: Bab 111 - Bab 120

The hallway outside Alexander Cassel’s VIP recovery room was painfully quiet.Cold white lights stretched across the polished floor, reflecting faintly against the glass walls overlooking the city. Somewhere farther down the corridor, the sound of medical equipment beeped steadily in the silence.Enola stood beside Damian, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the strap of her handbag.And across from them—Adrian Cassel stood motionless near the elevator.For a few long seconds, nobody spoke.The tension between the two brothers filled the entire hallway like smoke before a fire.Adrian looked different from the last time Enola saw him.Thinner.Sharper.More exhausted around the eyes.But colder too.Like someone who had cut himself away from everything soft in his life.His gaze shifted from Damian to Enola slowly.“You look healthier than before,” Adrian said quietly to Enola.Enola blinked slightly, caught off guard.Before she could answer, Damian cut in coldly.“What are

The morning sun spilled through the windshield in pale gold streaks while the car moved steadily down the mountain road.Enola was asleep.Her head rested against Damian’s shoulder, her hair slightly messy from the wind near the dam earlier. One of her hands still loosely held the sleeve of his black shirt like she had fallen asleep without realizing it.Damian drove with one hand on the steering wheel.Silent.Calm.But his thoughts were nowhere near calm.The road curved sharply along the mountain edge, fog still hanging low between the trees after dawn. The world outside looked cold and distant, yet inside the car, warmth lingered from the night they had shared.From the wine.From the confessions.From the way Enola had looked at him under the firelight.Damian glanced sideways at her sleeping face.His gaze softened unconsciously.“This woman…” he thought quietly. “...will either become my salvation or the knife that destroys me.”And strangely—he still could not let her go.Not

The morning air over the city carried the warmth of early summer, but inside the meeting room of Spark Winery, the atmosphere was cold enough to make every breath feel sharp.Enola sat at the head of the long table in a black fitted dress with her hair tied neatly behind her head. Sunlight slipped through the floor-to-ceiling windows and fell across the polished surface of the table, reflecting the tense faces around her.Several directors avoided looking directly at her.Some did not.Especially the older men who had once stood behind Reginald.One of them cleared his throat before sliding a document across the table.“Mrs. Cassel,” he began carefully, “there are concerns regarding your recent priorities.”Enola did not immediately respond. She calmly turned a page of the financial report in front of her.Across the room, Hayle stood near the screen presentation while Luna leaned against the wall with crossed arms, already sensing trouble.The director continued.“Spark Winery is gro

Rain poured heavily across the city.The black sedan cut through the wet streets at high speed while thunder rumbled somewhere above the skyline. The atmosphere inside the car felt suffocatingly quiet.Enola stared outside the window without blinking.Streetlights blurred into streaks of gold against the rain-covered glass.Beside her, Damian sat unusually still.His jaw was tight.One hand rested against his knee while the other held his phone, waiting for updates from Ethan.But his attention kept drifting back to Enola.She had not said a single unnecessary word since they left Royal Cassel Hotel.And somehow…that frightened him more.Because Enola’s silence tonight did not feel cold.It felt controlled.Like someone standing calmly in the middle of a burning building while deciding who deserved to die first.“Hayle is alive.”Ethan’s voice suddenly came through the speaker from Damian’s phone.Enola’s eyes finally shifted.“He suffered minor burns and smoke inhalation,” Ethan con

The house was too quiet.Not abandoned quiet.Occupied quiet.The kind that made every sound feel wrong.Damian slowly stepped in front of Enola the moment the footsteps echoed upstairs. His arm instinctively moved slightly in front of her waist, shielding her without even looking back.“Stay behind me,” he said calmly.Enola noticed it immediately.Not control.Not dominance.Protection.That subtle difference did something strange to her chest.The old wooden floor creaked beneath Damian’s shoes as they moved deeper into the dark house. Moonlight slipped weakly through cracked windows, barely illuminating the hallway.The air smelled old.Dust.Rain.And faint perfume.Feminine.Enola’s heels clicked softly behind Damian. The sound blended with the distant storm outside.Another floorboard groaned upstairs.Someone had definitely been here.Recently.Damian’s expression hardened. He reached inside his coat slowly, fingers brushing the handgun secured beneath his jacket.Enola lowere
