As soon as Raina stepped into the gym, she felt alive again and her blood was boiling with determination. After the cold walls of the Retroferd mansion and hospital, the gym felt like home. This was where she could be herself without anyone judging her.She saw Bryan standing near the ring with a stopwatch in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the door. As soon as he saw Raina, his tired face lit up with relief. And she noticed that he looked like he hadn't slept in days."Raina! Thank God," he said while walking over quickly. He grabbed her by the shoulders, checking her for any bruises or injuries. "I’ve been worried sick. Are you okay? Did they hurt you?""I’m fine, Bryan," Raina said, though her voice was a little tired. "I’m tired, but I’m fine..Let’s talk in private."Bryan nodded and led her to his small, messy office at the back of the gym. He closed the door, blocking out the sound of other boxers hitting the bags and sat down behind his desk, before pointing to a chair for

Raina dropped her phone onto the thin mattress as her hands were shaking so hard she couldn’t even hold it anymore. The walls of the small store room felt like they were moving inward, trying to crush her and she felt like she couldn’t breathe. Her chest was tight, and her heart was moving like a drum."Bryan," she whispered with a shaky voice as she recalled how he smiled at her a few hours ago.“He is such a kind person and would never do anything bad” Raina murmured as her body trembled violently and her breathing became rapid.Bryan was the only person who had ever treated her like a human being. He wasn't her father, but he has showered her with so much fatherly love to last a lifetime. And now, because of her, he was in the hands of a monster and might get hurt badly. She knew exactly who had taken him. Maxton Retroferd “How dare that bastard touch Bryan! How dare he!” She yelled angrily.She just couldn't understand how Bryan had offended Maxton.What happened?…could it jus

As soon as Lucia looked at the doorway, her body trembled in fear and her eyes filled with tears.Lorenzo was standing in the doorway, casually leaning against the frame with his arms crossed and watching her with a dark gaze."Wh-what are you doing here, Lorenzo?" Lucia stammered, taking a step back until her heels hit the edge of her bed.Lorenzo didn't answer right away, he just walked into the room nonchalantly, his shoes clicking slowly on the floor. Then he looked at the phone in her hand and then back at her face."Call them back," Lorenzo said. His voice was a low, dangerous whisper. "Call whoever you just talked to and tell them that if a single word of that news leaks out, their entire family will be wiped off the face of the earth, andI will personally make sure they don't have a grave to lie in."Lucia’s eyes went wide with terror when she realized that Lorenzo had heard everything. "But Lorenzo... it’s for the best! Raina needs to be….""I didn't ask for your opinion, slu

The backyard of the Retroferd estate felt like it was frozen in time as everyone present held their breaths after hearing what Maxton said.Michael stood there with his hand still gripping the handle of the whip, but the leather was trapped in Maxton’s iron grip. His face turned from a brighter angry shade of red. He was a man who expected everyone to bow down to him and show him respect, no matter who the other person is. So to have a younger man like Maxton stop him in front of his own men was a huge insult to him."Maxton," Michael hissed, his voice trembling with a mix of hatred and fury. "Do not forget who you are talking to! I am the one who gave you this alliance and the one who gave you the wife you are talking about"Maxton didn't move or even blink. He looked down at the whip in his hand and then back at Michael. "You gave me a wife," Maxton repeated, his voice as cold as ice. "And the moment she signed that marriage contract, she stopped being a Valente…She became a Retrof

The sitting room was silent as Maxton’s question hung in the air and his eyes were still fixed on her, just watching her with an intensity that made the room feel small. He just couldn't understand her at all. Although he has no feelings for her, he could still let her live comfortably as long as she is in the Retroferd estate….he will do the same for any of his people.Raina stood by the door with a frown and her arms crossed over her chest. She looked like she was bored by the whole conversation, but when she heard his question about the store room, she felt a spark of confusion in her mind."Why are you asking me that?" Raina asked, her voice was flat and cold. She frowned, her eyebrows coming together in a deep line. "Weren't you the one who assigned that room to me? I assumed you wanted to show me my place in this house. You made it clear I wasn't welcome, so I figured the store room was your way of telling me I was just another piece of junk in your villa."Maxton’s face change
