Chapter 151: His Captive

Renata"What is going on here?"His hair was tied back in a low bun now, his eyes as dark as I remembered, but something about him had changed. He looked broader, more solid than before, muscle filling out the frame I used to know so well. The tattoo along his neck was the first thing my eyes caught, the same one that used to distract me during quiet moments together. He still stood at that same imposing six feet, and his lips twitched into something almost composed as he looked at me."Peach," he said. "Welcome."Something inside me went cold instantly. This was not right. None of this was right.Bryan had said this was a job interview, a fresh start, an escape from everything crushing me in this city. Instead I had walked straight into whatever this was, whatever twisted arrangement Drent had orchestrated behind the scenes. My mind raced backward, trying to piece together how the venue had changed, how I had ended up here of all places, but nothing added up fast enough."Don't welco

Chapter 152 : Hide from little brother

DrentI went straight to my room the moment I got home, my hands still trembling from the weight of everything pressing down on me. The coffee I poured was scalding, but I drank it anyway, hoping the burn would drown out the noise in my head. It didn't. Nothing did anymore.I couldn't stop thinking about what I had done. Locking her up. Keeping her here against her will. I told myself it was necessary, that I had no choice, but the guilt sat in my chest like a stone I couldn't swallow.*I can't believe I had to lock her up. She's gotten into me. Deep. Deeper than anything ever has.*A voice in my head argued back immediately, sharp and unforgiving.*No, no, Drent. You need her. You need her to focus. She's the only woman you've ever loved, and yes, this is wrong, but you're ruining her life. By locking her up, you're only making it worse.**No,* I told myself, gripping the mug so hard my knuckles went white. *I need her.*The frustration built until it broke out of me in a scream, raw

Chapter 153 : Caught red handed

MarcusCalling me a dumbass. I was sick of it, sick of my brother throwing insults at me like they cost him nothing, like I was still some kid he could push around whenever he felt like it. That last comment, in front of our father, had crossed a line I wasn't willing to let slide.So I followed him home. Quietly, without him ever noticing, without giving him the chance to slam a door in my face before I could say what I actually came to say.When I stepped down from the car, one of his maids rushed out to meet me, her hands raised in a nervous attempt to stop me from going any further."Please, sir, you can't go in there.""This is my brother's house," I said, brushing past her."Please, sir, we know he's busy right now.""Where is he?""Please, sir, you have to leave."I ignored every word of it and walked straight through the front entrance, still burning from the disrespect Drent had thrown at me earlier that day, still wanting nothing more than to get my hands on him and force an

Chapter 154: You are Mine Forever

RenataI sat frozen, stunned that Marcus had somehow found his way into this room, and now Drent stood there too, staring him down like he wanted to tear him apart. I had no idea what was happening, no understanding of how any of this had come together in the span of a few terrifying minutes.But the deepest part of my pain came from a different realization entirely. The door had been open this whole time, and I hadn't even known it. I hadn't heard Marcus enter, which meant the door must have been unlocked, unguarded, open for far longer than I realized. If I had known, if I had only checked, I could have run the moment I found the opportunity. But it was too late now. The chance had already slipped past me.That thought alone made me want to scream. All those hours I had spent pacing this room, staring at the shelves of books I never opened, wondering if there was even a single crack in this prison, and the answer had been sitting right there behind an unlocked door the entire time.

Chapter 155: Rat Him Out

MarcusSo Drent had been keeping Renata hostage this entire time. What a sly, predictable brother I had. Honestly, I should have expected something this dramatic from him the moment I saw the panic on his face back at that house.I had spent the drive home replaying every second of it, the way he had tried to physically drag me out, the flicker of fear he couldn't quite hide, the strange noise coming from that sealed off wing of his estate. Once I had seen Renata sitting there on the floor, terrified and exhausted, everything clicked into place with a satisfying finality. My brother, the golden child, the one my father always trusted more, had committed a crime serious enough to end his career entirely. I had barely been able to sleep that night, my mind already spinning through exactly how I intended to use it.Payton walked into my office just as I was pouring myself a drink, her heels clicking sharply against the floor. "Where have you been?" she demanded. "What happened to getting

Chapter 156 : Oh please Spencer!

DrentThe moment I opened the door, I froze in shock. Marcus stood there on my doorstep, flanked by a small army of uniformed officers, that same insufferable smirk plastered across his face.Of course. This weaselly, annoying brother of mine. I should have known he would move on this the second he got the chance.I forced a smile onto my face, drawing on every ounce of composure I had left, presenting myself as a man completely in control of the situation despite the panic already clawing beneath the surface."How can I help you, officers?" I asked, my voice steady, measured.I glanced over at Marcus, my jaw tightening involuntarily. "And I see you brought my brother along."One of the officers stepped forward. "Mr. Drent, we'd like to come in. Marcus here has brought a serious allegation against you."I looked at Marcus, matching his smugness with a fake smile of my own. "I'm sure he does.""So, brother," Marcus said, leaning against the doorframe, clearly savoring every second of w

Chapter 157: Double Trouble

SpencerI had served Mr. Drent for eight years now, through every version of him I had ever seen, the calculated businessman, the guarded son, and lately, this desperate, obsessive man I barely recognized. But tonight was different from anything I had ever been asked to do before. Tonight, the fate of his entire company sat balanced in my hands.Eight years was a long time to watch a man change. I still remembered the version of him who used to tip generously without a second thought, who once sat with me in the kitchen at three in the morning just to talk through a bad night rather than order me around like most men of his standing would have. That memory was part of why I stayed loyal even now, even when the requests he made of me grew darker with every passing week.I was just a servant, technically speaking. Yet somehow, in this single evening, I held the power to either save him completely or destroy everything he had ever worked toward. If I moved quickly, hid Renata before the

Chapter 158: From Vent to His Arms

RenataIt was a tight vent, barely wide enough for my shoulders to fit through, but I was determined, more determined than I had ever been about anything in my life. I still could not fully believe I was actually doing this, crawling through a metal duct like some desperate fugitive in a movie, my knees scraping raw against the cold metal beneath me.Every inch forward felt like a small victory, proof that I hadn't simply resigned myself to whatever fate Drent had planned for me. I thought of my mother, of Edwina lying helpless in that hospital bed, of the life I had been so close to starting fresh in Mexico, and let that anger fuel me forward through the cramped, suffocating darkness.After Spencer left me in that room, believing I was still unconscious, I forced myself upright the second I heard his footsteps fade down the hallway. I knew I only had a small window before he returned to check on me, and screaming would do nothing here. They had already moved me somewhere deep undergr

Chapter 159: Mexico, Not So Nice city

BryanI can't let it show, I told myself, staring blankly at the floor of the bar. I can't let anyone see that I still have feelings for Renata after all these years.It had been years since I let myself think about her that way, years since I convinced myself that whatever we once had as kids belonged firmly in the past. Seeing her walk back into my life had cracked something open that I thought I had sealed shut a long time ago, and hearing the fear in her voice on that call had only made it worse.But that call, the panic threading through her voice, the way she had rushed through every word like she barely had time to say them at all. Something was wrong. Was she actually in trouble.Her message had been simple enough on the surface. Go find Edwina. Tell her Drent had her. But who the hell was Drent. Nothing about any of it sat right with me.I turned to my boss. "Mr. Shane, I'm going to need to take today off."Shane looked up from behind the counter, a knowing smile already tugg

Chapter 160 : Don't leave me

DrentThat cute little look was still on my face as I held Reneta in my arms and carried her back toward the room.She was never leaving me.Not now.Not ever.I knew she was angry with me. I knew she probably wanted to fight me, scream at me, and maybe even bite me if I gave her the chance.But I couldn't help smiling.She was too damn cute.The moment we got inside, I noticed the small cut on her finger. It was bleeding slightly, probably from when she had grabbed the broken edge of the chair earlier.I immediately went to get the first-aid box.When I came back, she was sitting at the table with her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her lips pushed into the most adorable pout.I placed the box on the table and gently lifted her onto the surface.She glared at me."Never try to escape me again."She didn't answer.Instead, she snatched the bandages from my hand and began wrapping her injured finger herself.She did it angrily, pulling the bandage a little too tightly.I couldn't
