Chapter 31: When Truth Breaks Illusions

"Really?" a female guest asked, her voice filled with undisguised astonishment as she turned toward the people standing beside her, her eyes moving back and forth between Malcolm and Petra repeatedly."Petra's brother is the CEO of Chapman Corporation? The very guy everyone in New York City respects and fears?"Her words spread through the hall the way sparks spread across dry grass, fast, catching on everything they touched, unstoppable the moment they found fuel.Murmurs rose immediately, rippling outward from where she stood until they had reached every corner of the room.The name Chapman Corporation was already powerful enough on its own to command immediate attention in any gathering of people who moved in business circles.But the revelation that its CEO was standing right here, right now, in the middle of this hall, and that he was Petra's brother, was something else entirely.It changed the geometry of everything that had already happened tonight, recontextualizing each momen

Chapter 32: The Fall of Hollow Pride

“What?” Pete said, struggling to contain the shock that surged through his body like a violent tremor. His voice came out strained and rough, as if the words themselves were too heavy to pass through his throat. “How is this possible?”The call ended.There was no further explanation from the man on the other end.Pete slowly lowered the phone from his ear, staring blankly at the screen as though it might suddenly correct itself and reveal that everything had been a mistake. But the call log remained there, silent and unforgiving.For a few seconds he simply stood there.Frozen.His chest rose and fell slowly as his mind tried to process what he had just heard.“Pete,” Zoe called softly as she stepped closer to him, her heels clicking lightly against the polished floor. She slipped her hand around his arm, gripping him tightly as if trying to steady both him and herself at the same time. “What happened?”Her voice was noticeably different from before.The arrogance that had filled it

Chapter 33: The Price of Blind Loyalty

Pete stood stiffly, staring at the closed doors as if they had personally insulted him. His jaw tightened, and the veins along his neck bulged faintly.The humiliation of being thrown out in front of reporters, guests, and business partners burned through him like acid.Around them, a few people who had also stepped outside lingered nearby, whispering quietly while pretending not to stare.Zoe was the first to break the silence.“Mr. Jordan Sr., don’t be absurd,” she said with a scoff, folding her arms across her chest. Her tone carried that familiar sharpness she used whenever she believed she was the smartest person in the room. “Petra’s just riding on someone else’s coattails. Don’t fall for it.”Her eyes moved quickly between Pete, Eric, and Martins as if she was trying to pull them back under her control before doubt settled in their minds.Without waiting for anyone to respond, she quickly slipped her phone out of her handbag. The screen lit up instantly, reflecting across her f

Chapter 34: Cure for a Broken Heart

The glass doors of one of the largest luxury malls in the city slid open slowly as Malcolm and Petra approached.Soft instrumental music floated through the air, but something about the place immediately felt unusual. The bright marble floors shone under the overhead lights, and the enormous space stretched endlessly in every direction.Yet there was something missing.Customers.Petra slowed her steps slightly as her eyes moved around the place.Normally, a mall like this would be buzzing with people, families, couples, tourists, shoppers moving from store to store.But today?There was no one.Instead, two perfectly aligned rows of staff stood near the entrance, dressed in neat uniforms. The moment Malcolm and Petra stepped inside, every single one of them bowed respectfully.“Welcome, Mr. Chapman. Welcome, Miss Petra.”Petra nearly stumbled to a stop.Her eyes widened.She turned slowly in a full circle, scanning the massive building again just to be sure she wasn't imagining thing

Chapter 35: Rediscovering Herself

The makeover salon occupied an entire wing of the luxury mall, its interior glowing under warm golden lights that made every polished surface shine.Tall mirrors lined the walls, reflecting rows of elegant chairs, shelves of cosmetics, and racks of clothing arranged with careful precision.Petra sat quietly in the center chair while three stylists moved around her with professional focus.One was carefully adjusting her hair, trimming and styling it into soft layers that framed her face. Another worked gently with makeup brushes, adding subtle tones that brightened her natural complexion.The third stylist was arranging clothing options nearby, occasionally stepping forward to check the fitting.At first Petra had felt slightly overwhelmed by all the attention.But slowly, as the process continued, she began to relax.The exhaustion from the past few years seemed to melt away little by little. Every small adjustment brought out a different part of the woman she used to be.Outside the

Chapter 36: The Rival

Petra walked slowly along the shaded campus pathway beside the young man who had appeared in the classroom moments earlier.The late afternoon breeze moved gently through the tall trees above them, causing leaves to drift softly down onto the stone walkway.For a moment, neither of them spoke.Petra bent slightly and picked up one of the fallen leaves from the ground. She rolled it between her fingers absentmindedly as they walked side by side.“You’ve been in South Africa for so long,” she said casually, glancing at him with curiosity. As she spoke, she lightly plucked the leaf stem and let the tiny pieces fall to the ground one by one. “Why did you suddenly come to New York?”The young man smiled faintly.His hands slid comfortably into the pockets of his milk-colored suit as he continued walking beside her.“The high-tech sector here looks very promising,” Oscar replied calmly. “I came back to expand my business.”He turned his head slightly to look at her, a trace of amusement in

Chapter 37: An Offer That Rewrites the Future

“What do you mean?” Petra asked, her voice filled with surprise as she stared directly at Oscar.The breeze moved gently through the campus trees, rustling the leaves above them, but she barely noticed it.Her attention was entirely fixed on the calm man standing before her, the same man who had once been her fiercest academic rival many years ago.Oscar studied her expression for a moment before responding. There was a quiet confidence in the way he carried himself, as though he had already anticipated this moment long before it arrived.Finally, he spoke with a calm, matter-of-fact tone. “Oh. I’ve established a company in New York and I’m currently working on the eCloud AI project,” he explained.As he spoke, he slowly moved one hand toward the breast pocket of his milk-colored suit. “I’d like you to join as CEO and provide technical support.”Petra blinked.For a brief second, the words didn’t fully register in her mind. CEO? Technical support? Southwind AI?Before she could process

Chapter 38: Fractures

Pete had just picked up a call when he rose from the couch, his movement abrupt enough to crease the already wrinkled suit jacket hanging loosely over his shoulders.The office around him carried the faint smell of stale coffee and sleepless nights.Papers were scattered across the table, some sliding halfway to the floor, others crumpled like abandoned thoughts.His phone was pressed tightly to his ear as he tried to steady his breathing.“Hi, Mr. Benson,” he said, forcing his voice to sound confident as he straightened his posture.He even began pacing slowly across the room, as though the movement might help him regain control over everything that seemed to be slipping through his fingers. “The pullout by Chapman Corp is nothing permanent. You should have faith in us. We—”The call disconnected.The sudden silence in his ear felt louder than the conversation itself.Pete froze for a brief moment, staring at the screen of his phone as though the device had personally betrayed him. T

Chapter 39: Pressure

The baby’s cries continued to echo across the living room, sharp and relentless, filling every quiet corner of the house.The sound seemed to bounce off the bare walls and scattered furniture, growing louder with each passing second.Pete sat stiffly on the couch, his elbows resting on his knees, his head slightly lowered as if he were trying to shut the noise out of his mind.But the crying didn’t stop.It only grew louder.Pete’s jaw tightened as frustration slowly twisted across his face. His mind was already drowning under the weight of failed calls, collapsing business deals, and the silent accusations buried inside his own thoughts.Now the baby’s cries drilled into his head like a constant reminder that nothing in his life was under control anymore.He pressed his fingers against his temples as if the pressure there might burst.The baby cried again.Louder.Pete suddenly looked up, his eyes blazing with irritation. He turned his head sharply toward the crib, glaring at the tin

Chapter 40: Whispered Poison

“Pete, don’t be mad.”Zoe’s voice softened into something almost pleading as she shifted closer to him on the couch.The tension in the room was still thick, heavy enough to press down on both of them, but she moved as though determined to dissolve it.Slowly, she reached out again and held his hand, her fingers curling around his palm with careful gentleness.Pete didn’t immediately react.His chest was still rising and falling unevenly from the anger that had erupted moments earlier.His eyes remained fixed on the messy living room floor ahead of him, where pieces of broken phone glass still reflected faint light from the window.Zoe leaned slightly toward him, her shoulder brushing lightly against his arm as though trying to reassure him through simple closeness.“You’ve known me my whole life,” she continued softly, her tone carrying a familiar warmth that almost sounded comforting. “I’m really not cut out for babysitting or housework.”As she said those words, her eyes shifted to
