Chapter 71. Seven Days Before the End

The morning breeze felt colder than usual.I pulled the thin blanket covering my shoulders tighter, even though the sun was already rising slowly above the Blackwood residence's backyard.My balcony overlooked a vast expanse of perfectly manicured lawn—too perfect, like everything else in this family.I wasn't going to the office today.Lucian had forbidden it."You look pale," he had said that morning in a tone that left no room for argument. "You're not going."And for the first time since the contract began—I obeyed without protest.My gaze fell on the digital calendar on the small tablet on the table beside the chair.Seven days left.Seven days until the contract ends.Seven days until Mr. Arthur's birthday.Seven days until the end of the six-month contract of a marriage without feelings.Six months. Without emotional involvement. Without expectations. Without love.And now—Those six months were almost over.My chest felt tighter than it should.I shifted my gaze to the laptop

Chapter 72. Anomaly

When I arrived at the hospital, Nivara was already in the emergency room.I immediately approached Ethan, who was talking to several people I assumed were his subordinates, ignoring Damian, who was walking behind me.When I approached, they gave a respectful nod and stepped away."What happened?" I asked Ethan."Nivara... there are indications that she was held captive in that building, then...""Then?""She miscarried."My hand reflexively touched my stomach.Ironic.A short while ago, I found out I was pregnant.And now, Nivara had lost her baby.I never liked her.But the news still felt like something had collapsed."When?" I asked softly."It can't be confirmed yet," Ethan replied. "It is suspected that she was held captive for quite some time. Severe dehydration. There are marks from restraints on her wrists."Several weeks.Meaning before the trial.Before she skipped out.So all this time—The emergency room door swung open.And I didn't need to turn to know who had arrived.L

Chapter 73. When the Line Blurs

Five days before the contract ended, it felt like my life was becoming more and more tied to something we had never put down on paper.Two days after Nivara was found, I stood in the hospital hallway, my hands feeling colder than the marble walls beside me.I didn't tell Lucian.If he knew, he would have forbidden me.In front of the hospital room, two police officers stood guard. Dark uniforms. Expressionless faces. One of them glanced at me when I mentioned Nivara's name."Suspect in a defamation case and a court no-show," he said flatly. "You only have five minutes."I nodded.When the door opened, the smell of antiseptic hit me immediately.Nivara was lying on the bed. Her face was pale. Her lips were chapped. Her hair was messy, as if it hadn't been touched by a comb for days.One of her hands was handcuffed to the bed rail.I stopped walking.So this was it.The woman who used to stand with her chin up, holding my father's arm, was now chained to cold metal.Her eyes slowly move

Chapter 74. D-Day

"So it wasn't Selene Cole who stole the company data after all?"A reporter's voice rang out sharply amid the flashes of cameras competing for attention.On the front steps of the police station, Ethan Cross stood in a dark suit, his face much more serious than usual. There was no casual smile. None of the sarcastic comments he often made in private were there.Today he was speaking as a representative of Blackwood Corporation."Six years ago, there was a misjudgment," he said calmly. "The real culprit has been arrested. He confessed to manipulating the system and framing Selene Cole—now known as Selene Blackwood."Several reporters immediately whispered to each other.The name that was once filled with whispers of betrayal was now being mentioned again—this time with a different tone."Does this mean Blackwood Corporation was wrong to fire her?" asked another reporter.Ethan looked straight into the camera."The company will never ignore new facts," he replied briefly. "What is clear

Chapter 75. Half of Me

Lucian Blackwood's POVI never imagined it would end up like this.When I signed the marriage contract with Selene six months ago, I thought I would be satisfied once the contract ended.My goal had been achieved.Grandfather passed the leadership baton to me. More than I expected, he handed over complete control of the company to me that night and moved to his private retreat in the northern mountains—a place he always referred to as the family retreat.He wanted to retire, to enjoy his old age there while occasionally keeping an eye on my progress through his people.This was a huge victory for me.I should have been happy. Everything was going according to my original plan.But the truth was, I couldn't remember the last time I slept.Maybe two days ago.Maybe three.The clock on the office wall kept ticking, but it felt like time had lost its shape since that night.Since I found that ring. I can still see it clearly every time I close my eyes—lying alone on the nightstand, cold

Chapter 76. Come Back Home

Isabella Ashveil's POVIt had been a week since Lucian came to see me and asked me to find Selene.During that time, I hadn't seen Lucian leave the house.I had always watched my family from afar, from my various hiding places.This was serious.I've never seen Lucian lock himself in the house for that long.Several times, I saw Ethan going in and out of the house with a frustrated expression. There was no need to explain what was happening at the company.Lucian has lost control, he doesn't even care about the fate of the company at this point.I felt bad for Ethan. It couldn't be easy for him to stand by Lucian like this. But I was very grateful to him. For several years, I knew he was the only one willing to do it.But I can't always leave the responsibility to Ethan.I knew Lucian had succeeded in strengthening his position as heir. However, if Mr. Arthur knew that his grandson was in such a bad state after being abandoned by a woman, I was pretty sure he still had the power to de

Chapter 77. The Return of the Past

Gregory Blackwood's POVOn the thirty-second floor of the Blackwood Finance building, the clock on the wall ticked slowly amid piles of reports I hadn't touched since morning.I sat behind a large desk facing floor-to-ceiling windows. From here, the entire business district looked like a neatly arranged chessboard—cars moving like small pieces, people rushing to keep up with time.Usually, this view gave me a sense of control.Not today.For the past few weeks, my mind had struggled to focus. Several reports were still open on my laptop screen, the numbers I should have understood had turned into meaningless symbols.Lucian.That name popped into my head again.That boy finally fixed Blackwood Finance's security system a while back. Even though I knew he did it for his own benefit—to protect his position at the main company—I still can't ignore the fact that he saved the subsidiary I lead.Ironic.For years, I treated him as if he didn't exist.Yet he was the one who saved my job.I s

Chapter 78. Fishing

Isabella Ashveil's POVA little girl in the corner of the lobby stopped us in our tracks.She was huddled up as if trying to make herself as small as possible, her arms wrapped around her knees, which she had pulled up to her chest.From the way her shoulders rose and fell slowly, it was clear she was trying to hold back her tears.She was no more than six or seven years old.Her hair was slightly messy, as if she had been there for quite some time. From the uniform she was wearing, it seemed that she was a student at one of the elite elementary schools in the city."Who is she?" I asked Gregory, who was standing beside me.He didn't have time to answer.The little girl seemed to realize that someone was watching her. She slowly lifted her head from her knees.Her small face was covered with tears.Her eyes were red, her eyelashes still wet.Her gaze shifted from Gregory to me, then back again.As if she was assessing something.Then she stood up a little unsteadily, still wiping her

Chapter 79. First Love

Gideon Xander's POV"Am I not allowed to enjoy a peaceful life before my death?!"Mr. Arthur slammed his fist on the table.The sound of the wood echoed in the spacious dining room, bouncing off the stone walls and high ceilings of the old house. The porcelain teacup on the table trembled slightly, the golden liquid inside swaying gently.I stood one step behind his chair, my hands folded neatly in front of my body. It was a position I had held almost every day for decades.But even though my body remained calm, my ears rang with the anger in the old man's voice.Mr. Arthur rarely got truly angry.Most of the time, he simply looked like an old man growing tired of the world—more often sitting in a garden chair reading the newspaper, or feeding the birds in the backyard of this retirement home.But when his anger did surface, even the air in the room seemed to tense up.He stood up from his chair with a quick movement that didn't quite match his age.His still-strong hands gripped the

Chapter 80. Love Tank

Lucian Blackwood's POVThe pair of tiny shoes felt almost weightless in my hand.The leather was soft, pale white with delicate stitching on the front. They were even smaller than my own palm.I turned the object slowly between my fingers.Baby shoes. Something this small shouldn't be able to make someone unable to stop thinking.But for several minutes—or maybe longer than that—I just stood near my office window staring at them.The city of London stretched out beyond the large window in front of me.Tall buildings.Traffic lights that were starting to turn on one by one.The gray sky was turning dark.But all of that felt distant.There was only one thing on my mind.Selene.And the child I had never even seen.A few days ago... I didn't even know the child existed.All I found at that time was a ring.Our wedding ring.She left it on the small table in the bedroom—right where she usually placed her cell phone every night.No letter.No message.Just the ring.A small gold object th
