Semua Bab Embraced By The Billionaire: Bab 81 - Bab 90

The night had reached its deepest hour. At Knight Mansion, the silence felt thick and suffocating, broken only by the faint hiss of the ventilation system. Yet far below, in the underground security control room, a silent alarm was triggered—tiny red lights blinking in rapid rhythm.A motion sensor in the western sector—the most secluded area bordering the forest—had been activated. The report instantly appeared on the main screen, flashing a Level One security breach warning.An intruder, dressed in black from head to toe, had slipped past the first concealed outer fence. His movements were swift and trained, leaving almost no trace. He moved like a shadow beneath the dense canopy of trees. His objective was clear: reach the main house.Inside the security room, the chief of security issued immediate commands. The mansion was placed under lockdown. The concealed steel doors—installed after Rose’s threats became more real—slid out from walls and window frames with heavy mechanical sou

That morning, the atmosphere at the Reed residence was suffocating. Panic gripped Rose and Oliver as the police arrived with arrest warrants in hand. Though Rose protested loudly, shouting that this was a conspiracy and that she had rights, the evidence laid before them was far too overwhelming and clear to deny.The intruders’ confessions from the night before, CCTV footage showing their movements around Knight Mansion, and phone records directly linking Rose to Jovan, all of it formed an irrefutable chain of proof. There was no longer any room to escape the bitter reality closing in on them.They were escorted out of the house under the whispering gazes of neighbors that felt like sharp judgments piercing their skin. At the police station, the tension between mother and son finally exploded. For the time being, they were placed in the same interrogation room.It was an ironic scene, for here was where the ugly truth about their relationship began to tear itself apart. Long-suppresse

That day, the island felt like a miracle, the very picture of a perfect holiday. The sun blazed overhead, the sea shimmered, and Adelia’s laughter became the main melody of the day. They spent every moment by the shore. Ashton even went shirtless, wearing only shorts as he crouched in the sand. His hair was tousled by the sea breeze, his hands smeared with water and wet sand as he tried to build an impressive sandcastle.Avery sat nearby, watching him. Sarah, sipping a fruit cocktail on the terrace, shook her head in amusement.“I can’t believe he’s letting himself be like that,” Sarah whispered to Avery, pointing at Ashton, who was now shouting, “It’s collapsing! Our castle is under attack by the waves!” as a small wave toppled his tower.Avery smiled sincerely. “Me neither. Back at the mansion, he wouldn’t even let a single thread be out of place. Here, he’s just… a free Ashton.”Ashton, catching their conversation, turned around. “Don’t get it wrong. I’m still calculating the waves

Several weeks had passed since the chaos of the trial subsided. Life, like a river finding its course again after a storm, slowly flowed back into a gentler rhythm. Knight Mansion now felt more spacious, warmer, as though the heavy burden that had long hung over it had finally been lifted.Avery began her therapy sessions, but this time they felt different. No longer about digging into the raw wounds of the past, they became a process of weaving strength for a brighter future. She learned to accept, to forgive, and most importantly, to believe that she deserved happiness.One bright afternoon, the Caribbean sun bathed the manicured garden on Ashton’s private island. The air was filled with the scent of tropical flowers and the soothing murmur of the sea. Ashton, Avery, and Sarah were watching Adelia, who had just discovered the joy of crawling.The little girl eagerly scooted across the clean green grass, her crystalline laughter breaking the afternoon stillness, a pure sound that bec

Over the past few days, Avery began to notice that Ashton had been acting strangely. The man who was usually calm, composed, and meticulous now showed odd behavior she couldn’t quite understand. Sometimes, when Avery stepped into his study, she would find him lost in thought, a faint smile on his lips, only for him to startle the moment he realized she was there.At other times, he seemed tense, distracted, pacing the living room without any clear purpose.Avery, who now felt closer and more comfortable with him, finally tried to ask.“Ashton, is something wrong at the office? You look nervous lately.”Ashton, who had been holding a pen, immediately dropped it onto the desk. He turned quickly toward her, his face flushing.“No! Nothing is wrong. Nothing at all.” His restlessness only grew. “I… I’m just thinking about a schedule, Avery. A very complicated schedule.”Avery frowned. “What schedule? Your meetings? You’re never this worked up over them.”“It’s not a meeting schedule. It’s
