Chapter 91- FALLING INTO THE TRAP

Lia pushed through the heavy wooden door of The Shadow Lounge. A wall of noise and stench greeted her immediately. The air was thick with cigar smoke that burned her eyes and the sharp bite of cheap alcohol spilled across the floor. Laughter boomed from a group of men crowded around a pool table in the corner. Glasses clinked. Someone shouted at the bartender for another round. The place was dimly lit by flickering neon signs advertising old beer brands, casting long shadows across scratched tables and worn bar stools. This was not the kind of establishment she ever imagined entering. It felt rough, unpredictable, like one wrong move could spark trouble. She paused just inside the entrance, scanning the room. Her heart hammered against her ribs. Then she spotted him. A man in a faded black jacket sitting alone in a booth near the back wall. He raised his hand in a casual wave, his face half-hidden in shadow. Lia straightened her shoulders, clutched her purse tighter, and started walk

Chapter 92- NO EASY WAY OUT

Lia’s mind raced even as the lock clicked. How had she gotten here? Just hours ago she had been crying in her parents’ arms at the Laurent mansion, feeling the sting of Victor’s anger. Now she was trapped in a shady bar with two strangers who clearly had other plans. She thought back to the text messages. The promise of proof against Serena had seemed like the perfect solution. If only she could show Adrian and Victor real evidence, they would have to believe her. Adrian would see her loyalty. He might even pull her close again like that night in his room, his hands firm on her skin, his voice rough with desire. Those memories felt distant now, almost mocking her.The guy in the black jacket watched her panic with amusement. “Relax,” he said. “We’re just going to have a proper conversation. And maybe take some clothes off.”But Lia wasn’t listening. She backed up until her legs hit the edge of a worn couch. The room smelled of dust and old cigarettes. A small window was covered with a

Chapter 93- BROKEN IN THE DARK

Lia’s heart raced as she stared up at the man above her. His breath smelled of whiskey and smoke. She turned her head to the side, avoiding his eyes. “Get off me,” she whispered, voice shaking. “Please. I have money. I can pay you. Just let me go.”The guy chuckled softly. “Money is nice, but we’re past that now. You walked in here looking for answers. Now you’re going to give us some pleasure first.”The guy chuckled softly. “Money is nice, but we’re past that now. You walked in here looking for answers. Now you’re going to give us some pleasure first.”Lia’s eyes filled with tears. She knew she was trapped. The two men were bigger and stronger. Their looks were rough and dangerous. She had not told anyone where she was going. No one would come looking for her tonight. Fighting would only make it worse. With disgust rising in her throat, she stopped struggling.The first guy nodded. “Good girl. Now take off your top. Slowly.”Lia’s hands shook as she obeyed. She pulled her black top

Chapter 94- TOO MUCH TO BEAR

After she ended the call, the other guy took her mouth without wasting time. He held her head and moved deep while the first guy banged her harder from behind. Lia was caught between them, her body used from both ends in a raw threesome. They groaned with pleasure, their hands all over her. She followed every silent demand with shame burning inside. Tears fell freely, but she didn’t fight. They were too strong, too dangerous, and she had no escape. They kept switching, taking turns in every position they wanted, fucking her like she belonged to them for the night. The bed creaked loudly. Their bodies slapped against hers. Lia cried through it all, disgust thick in her throat, yet she obeyed to make it end faster.The first guy her ride him while the other watched. She moved her hips like they instructed, tears streaming down her face the whole time. Disgust never left her. Every moan they forced out of her felt like another piece of her pride breaking.He laughed and talked dirty to h

Chapter 95- HIS TERMS

I stared at Adrian’s text for a long moment. “We need to talk and it has to be on my terms.” My fingers hovered over the screen. Part of me wanted to tell him no, that I wouldn’t jump just because he said so. But another part knew we couldn’t keep avoiding this. I typed back quickly.“Ok, where and when?”His reply came fast. He sent an address of an exclusive cafe downtown, along with a time two hours from now. I thought about it, sitting there in bed with the morning light coming through the curtains. This meeting could change things between us. Good or bad. I took a deep breath and replied, “Ok.”I got up, washed my face, and went downstairs. The smell of breakfast filled the house. Emma and Clara were already in the kitchen, moving around like they did this every day. Emma flipped pancakes while Clara poured juice.“Morning,” I said, leaning against the doorframe.Emma looked up with a smile. “Look who finally woke up. We thought you were going to sleep all day.”Clara laughed. “Y

Chapter 96- THE TRAP TIGHTENS

The words hit hard. I suspected something like this might come, but hearing it from him, in his controlled voice, while he sat there with all the power in this empty cafe, still shocked me. He was in control right now, and that made my stomach twist. What would I do next? I sat there frozen, the weight of his words pressing down on me like a storm cloud ready to burst. My heart hammered so hard I could feel it in my throat. Sharing market insights? That wasn’t just risky, it was illegal. The kind of thing that could destroy everything I've built. “Adrian,” I started, my voice barely above a whisper at first. I cleared my throat and tried again, forcing myself to sound steadier than I felt. “Do you not know that sharing the insight on a company’s market is illegal? If Nathan or the Hale’s Corporation finds out, it’ll be catastrophic for me. And if they press legal actions, they would succeed in throwing me in jail. You can’t seriously be asking me to do this.” He leaned back in his

Chapter 97- TIRED OF FIGHTING

Lia stirred awake in the dim morning light filtering through the curtains. Her whole body felt heavy and sore, like she had been through a storm. The two men lay beside her, still snoring deeply, their clothes scattered across the floor. She froze for a moment, heart racing as memories of the long night flooded back. They had used her until she passed out. She didn’t want to think about the details, the rough hands, the pain, the way they treated her like she was nothing. Disgust twisted in her stomach. She had to get out before they woke up. Slowly and quietly, she slipped off the bed. Every movement hurts. She picked up her jeans, top, and underwear from the floor, dressing as fast as her aching body would allow. Her fingers fumbled with the buttons. She grabbed her purse, checked that her phone and money were still inside, and tiptoed toward the door. The floorboards creaked once under her foot. She held her breath, but the men didn’t stir. She opened the door just enough to squee

Chapter 98- A MOMENT OF RELIEF

I sat there in silence, the restaurant’s warm lights suddenly feeling too bright, too exposing. My thoughts spun in circles, each one darker than the last. How did it come to this? I just wanted to save my daughter, and now Adrian held all the cards. The father of my children. The man who wouldn’t let go.Time was running out and I still hadn’t given Adrian an answer. My hands were sweating under the table. The empty cafe felt too quiet, like the walls were listening to every word. Adrian’s eyes were locked on me, waiting. I tried to find the right words, but nothing came.Suddenly, he banged his hand hard on the table. “We don’t have all day, Serena,” he said, voice low and sharp. “Make your decision now. I need to know what you’re going to do.”I opened my mouth to speak, heart racing, when his phone started ringing loudly. He glanced at the screen, his expression changing from anger to surprise. He picked it up quickly.“Hello, Dad?” he said.I watched his face carefully. His eyes

Chapter 99- LATE NIGHT REVELATIONS

I loved those words of encouragement. They gave me a spark of hope in the middle of all this mess. Maybe I really could find a smart way out.Then Emma stood up and told me she wanted to continue what she was doing. Nathan stood up too and said he has a meeting to attend by five this evening.After they left, I sat alone in my office for a long time. The door was closed, and the only sound was the quiet hum of the air conditioner. I thought deep about everything that had happened. Adrian’s two choices kept playing in my head like a bad dream. Share secrets from Hale’s or lose the kids. It felt impossible. The pressure was heavy on my chest. Then it hit me. If I followed a different path in the Asia merger contract, it could actually lead to high growth in the market. A path that I never shared with the Hale’s Co-operation because they were doing well just with the path they already had. I remembered the late nights I spent analyzing market trends, the hidden opportunities I spotted b

Chapter 100- UNEXPECTED CALLS

When I got home, I was very tired. The whole day had drained me completely. My legs felt heavy as I walked through the front door. The house was warm and quiet. I kicked off my shoes and went upstairs to check on my children. Lila and Elias were sleeping peacefully in their room. I stood there for a few minutes, just watching them. I bent down and kissed their foreheads lightly, careful not to wake them. Then I went to my own room, changed into my comfortable night clothes, and fell into bed immediately. Sleep came fast because of how tired I was. I didn’t even have time to think about Adrian or the merger before my eyes closed. The next day was a Sunday. We wouldn’t open Lumina that day. It was a good time to rest and do some simple activities at home. We had a slow breakfast together. The kids were excited, laughing as they ate their pancakes. We played some games in the living room, drew pictures, and talked about their school stories. It was the kind of peaceful day I needed afte
