Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Silence Of His Vows: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

I've been avoiding the dining room for two days now.Not hiding exactly. Not obviously refusing. Just sick. That's what I'd told the staff who came to my door with worried expressions and careful questions. My stomach hurts. I couldn't keep food down. Please, just bring something light to my room instead.It was partially true. Every time I even thought about sitting at that table beside him, nausea twisted through my gut like something living.Two days of trays brought to my room. Two days of locked doors and racing thoughts that wouldn't slow down no matter how hard I tried to quiet them.Irina's words kept circling in my mind, over and over, like a song I couldn't stop hearing.I can get you out.The knock came just after noon. I'd been sitting on the edge of my bed staring at nothing when the sound made me flinch.One of the kitchen women stood in the hallway when I opened the door. Her face was tight with nerves, her eyes refusing to meet mine directly."Boss wants tea brought to

I woke to the feeling of being watched.That familiar sensation. The one I'd felt for months. That heavy awareness of eyes on me.My eyes opened slowly.The room was dim. A small lamp on the far table cast weak orange light across the space, just enough to see shapes and shadows.And him.Sitting in the chair beside my bed.Completely still. Watching me.Every muscle in my body went rigid.He was right there. Grey eyes fixed on my face with that terrible intensity.My heart slammed against my ribs.Then the second realization hit.I was in my bed.But I'd fallen asleep on the floor. Against the wall. I remembered collapsing there. Crying for hours. Exhaustion dragging me under while I was still curled up on the hard floor.Cold horror washed over me.He'd moved me.Come into my locked room and carried my unconscious body from the floor to the bed.My stomach lurched."Sleep."His voice cut through the silence. Soft. Quiet.A command.His hand moved.Reached toward me.I flinched hard,

"My sister didn't have anyone," Irina continued, her voice breaking. "She was alone. Trapped. No one believed her when she tried to ask for help."Her thumbs wiped at my tears."But you have me," she said fiercely. "And I won't let him destroy you the way..." Her voice cracked. "The way I let them destroy her."She pulled me close again, holding me tight."You're not alone anymore," she whispered against my hair. "I'm with you. I'll make sure you get out safely."I held onto her, my body shaking with silent sobs.She stroked my hair like a mother would. Like someone who truly cared."You're just like her, you know," she murmured. "My little sister. So gentle. So kind. So broken by men who should have protected you."Her voice got quieter."But you're braver than she was. You came to me. You asked for help."She rocked me slightly, still holding me."And I'm going to save you," she whispered. "I promise. I'm going to get you out of here."We stayed like that for a long time. She held m

"He's leaving the city tomorrow morning. Very early. Before dawn. Business that will take him away all day and possibly into the night."My heart was pounding so hard I could hear it."Tomorrow night is when you run," she continued. Her voice was low. Urgent. "Between eleven forty-five and midnight. That's when the guards change shifts. Security is weakest during the transition."I nodded frantically."I'll disable the cameras in the east corridor during that window. Fifteen minutes. That's all you'll have. The back gate near the rose garden will be unlocked."She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small cloth bundle tied with string."Money. Enough to get you far away. And a phone with one number programmed in. When you're clear of the area you call it. Someone will meet you and help you disappear."I took the bundle with trembling hands. It was heavier than I expected. Real. Solid.I tucked it into my waistband. Pulled my shirt down over it until it was hidden against my spine

Hello Lovelies, Thank you for your patience. Sorry for the confusion earlier. I had posted an author note about the chapter splitting process, but due to a small glitch it didn’t appear properly. The chapter adjustments are now completed and currently under review. If you had already read up to CHAPTER 88, that was the last chapter before the split. The chapters between 88 and 148 are simply the divided versions of the earlier chapters, so if you were already caught up before, you don’t need to unlock them again. The next new chapter will begin from CHAPTER 149, and new updates will start from tomorrow. Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and for supporting this book. Your comments, gems, and love truly mean a lot to me. Now the story continues. 🩷
