Chapter 71

Mary’s POVAfter those horrifying words left Dante's mouth, it took a few seconds for my brain to process the reality: Ryder's father was coming for my head.I clamped both hands over my mouth, stifling a scream of pure terror. My father swiftly grabbed my mother's hand, holding it in a tight grip."We have to go. NOW!" Dante grabbed my arm roughly, ushering us out of the master bedroom.However, we had barely run a dozen steps down the penthouse corridor when a deafening sound made my heart stop.TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!A brutal barrage of gunfire echoed from the direction of the main penthouse lobby behind us. The sound of shattering glass and the wild shouts of guards thundered through the air. My blood instantly froze. They had breached the perimeter. My mother trembled violently beside my father."They're attacking from the main entrance! Hold this corridor! Deploy all your weapons!" Dante roared to his remaining guards through his comms radio. He then turned to me. "Hurry, Mi

Chapter 72

Mary’s POVThe sound of metal being shredded by bullets was deafening. The SUV driven by Julian shook violently every time the muzzles of the three pursuit cars behind us spat hot lead."Julian! We have to go to a hospital! My dad... the bleeding won't stop!" I screamed hysterically. My hands trembled uncontrollably as I tried to press down on the gaping wound in my father's abdomen using the shredded fabric of my dress. However, fresh blood kept seeping through, pooling on the leather seats with a metallic stench that made my stomach churn."No! We can't go to any public hospital in Chicago, Mary! Victor has definitely hacked their security systems and planted his men there!" Julian roared hoarsely, swerving the steering wheel to dodge a hail of bullets. "My private doctor is already waiting at our hidden jet runway! We are heading there right now!"In the backseat, Roman, who had been returning fire through the shattered window, finally pulled the trigger on his rifle until it cl

Chapter 73

Mary’s POVMonths had passed since that bloody night in Chicago. Winter had begun to blanket the Swiss landscape, bringing a bone-chilling, freezing wind.I stood in front of my father's white marble headstone, pulling my thick wool coat tighter over my now perfectly rounded, protruding belly. Being nine months pregnant had slowed my steps, but my monthly routine here was never skipped."Dad... your grandson will be born soon," I whispered softly, laying a bouquet of his favorite Lilies on the grave. I stroked the headstone with a sorrowful smile. "Promise me you'll watch over him from heaven, okay?"The wind blew gently, as if answering my prayer. After wiping away my remaining tears, I turned and walked slowly down the cemetery path.At the end of the path, Julian was already leaning against the door of his luxurious limousine. Wearing a long navy coat, he looked incredibly handsome and flawless. Seeing me approach, Julian turned off his phone screen, walked up to me, and kissed

Chapter 74

Five Years LaterMary’s POVFive years was a long enough time to heal wounds and rebuild a life. Beneath the peaceful Swiss sky, my life had finally found its perfect rhythm. Now at twenty-five, I had shed all the fragile, naive memories of my girlhood, transforming into a beloved wife and a young mother to two little angels."Careful, Chloe! Don't run too fast, Sweetheart!" I called out from the back terrace of the mansion, watching the four-year-old toddler laughing joyfully as she chased butterflies in the garden.Chloe Kessler. She inherited my auburn hair and warm brown eyes. That little girl was the absolute center of the solar system in this house, especially for her father, Julian.In another corner of the garden sat a five-year-old boy. Unlike the cheerful Chloe, he was tying his roller skates calmly and with intense concentration. Leon Kessler, my eldest son.Every time I looked at Leon, a strange pang always pinched my heart. The older Leon grew, the more the absolute

Chapter 75

Leon’s POVI stared at the large, outstretched hand in front of me with hesitation. The hand was encased in a black leather glove, exactly like the ones my father owned. Slowly, I accepted it. The mysterious man's grip felt so solid, effortlessly pulling my small body up to my feet with just one light tug."Thank you, Sir," I mumbled, patting the dust off my pants.The man didn't answer. He bent down with an elegant motion and picked up my favorite hockey stick lying on the floor. His dark, sharp eyes examined the stick for a moment before he looked at me."Your grip on the stick is wrong, Champ," he said in a deep, calm baritone. "I saw your reflection in the glass when you swung it earlier. If you hold it too far down like that, your shot won't have any lethal power."The man then twirled the stick in his hand with incredible skill, demonstrating the correct grip. His movements were so natural, as if he were born to hold the object."You have to place your dominant hand here. U

Chapter 76

Mary’s POVMy heart stopped beating. The blood in my body felt as if it had been completely drained into the depths of the earth. At the end of this hallway stood a tall man in a black suit, staring right at me.That dark hair. That sharp jawline. And that pair of dark eyes that, for the past five years, had constantly haunted my every nightmare.God, this is impossible. This monster should have been blown to pieces and left to rot at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean five years ago! How could he be standing here, alive, radiating the exact same aura of dominance as before? And what drove me absolutely insane... he was standing mere centimeters away from his biological son, Leon."Mom!" Leon quickly ran over to me, hugging my legs cheerfully.The man slowly stepped forward toward me. His eyes projected a strange, dizzy, and vacant stare."Stay away from my son!" I hissed, my voice trembling and strained. Panic took over my sanity. I pulled Leon behind my body protectively.The ma

Ryder’s POVI stood rigidly in the empty hallway, staring toward the exit doors where the woman had disappeared.The space still lingered with the soft scent of her vanilla perfume. My chest rumbled with a heartbeat that refused to settle. Reflexively, I raised my hand, touching my cheek, which felt cold.A tear. Why was I crying for a strange woman? Why did seeing the sheer terror on her beautiful face feel like thousands of rusted knives tearing open my chest?"Gideon," I called out without turning around.My personal assistant immediately stepped forward from the line of bodyguards. "Yes, Mr. Vance?""Find out who that auburn-haired woman was," I ordered with absolute authority, my voice as cold as ice. "I want all information on her. Who she is, where she lives, and what her background is. I want the report on my desk tonight.""Yes, Sir."Three hours later, I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of my hotel penthouse, staring down at the glittering city lights of

Chapter 78

Mary’s POVThe atmosphere in the Grand Ballroom instantly morphed into an invisible, suffocating battlefield. All around us, hundreds of elite guests, state ministers, and journalists were still looking toward the entrance with sheer admiration, completely unaware that the Devil himself had just set foot in Geneva.Julian tightened his grip on my waist until my bones throbbed with pain. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Roman slowly reaching for the grip of the pistol hidden beneath his suit.However, Julian quickly raised one hand, giving Roman a secret signal. Stand down.Drawing a weapon in the middle of an international public event would only ignite a bloody scandal that would destroy Kessler Holding’s reputation and endanger the high-profile guests. Julian had no other choice but to wear his aristocratic mask, even as his jaw clenched tightly to contain his fury.Ryder stepped closer with a slow, domineering stride. Once the distance between them was reduced to a mere meter

Chapter 79

Mary’s POVThe Gala Dinner ended much earlier than scheduled. Julian's mood was entirely shattered, and his aura was so dark that not a single guest or journalist dared to intercept us as we walked out of the hotel.Upon arriving at the mansion, the tension exploded. Julian immediately ordered Roman and the rest of the guards to put the entire estate on total lockdown and raise the security status to the highest level. The children were quickly taken upstairs by their nannies.I was just about to climb the stairs to follow Leon, but a large hand gripped my wrist tightly. Julian pulled me around, forcing me to look at his face, which was flushed with disappointment and suppressed anger."You looked me in the eye every single day for the past month, Mary," Julian hissed, his voice trembling with contained fury. "And you chose to lie to me? You knew that devil was still alive, and you hid it from me?!"My chest tightened. The tears I had been holding back finally spilled over. "I'm s

Chapter 80

Ryder’s POVWhile straightening the buttons of my suit, I casually strolled down the deserted hallway toward the children's locker room. Gideon had just successfully hacked and frozen the CCTV recording system in the west wing of the kindergarten, where Leon currently was.In front of the locker room door, a guard dressed in the signature black attire of Kessler Holding stood on watch. The man noticed my presence and was just about to reach for his pistol, but my movements were far faster.In a matter of three seconds, I darted forward, locking his neck from behind in a lethal chokehold and pressing on his carotid artery. The man instantly passed out without even having the chance to make a single sound. I dragged his body into a janitor's closet, then casually stepped into the locker room.Inside, Leon was sitting alone on a long bench, trying to stuff his sneakers into his locker.Hearing my footsteps, the boy turned around. His eyes immediately widened."Sir...?" Leon whispere
