Semua Bab The Billionaires 10th Bride: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Valerie's POVThe silence that followed the first bride's final message settled over the hidden chamber with an unsettling weight. Valerie remained where she stood, unable to look away from the place where the woman's image had vanished. It was not the silence itself that disturbed her, but what it represented. For the first time since stepping into the Vane family's hidden history, there were no visions guiding her, no voices explaining the next step, and no memories forcing themselves into her mind. There was only stillness and the growing awareness that every decision from this moment forward belonged entirely to her.The ancient chamber was changing around her.The symbols carved into the black stone walls no longer glowed with quiet life. They dimmed one after another, dissolving like ink washed away by invisible water.

Valerie's POVThe silence inside the sanctuary lasted only a few moments before the Origin Book stirred once again.Valerie held it carefully as its blank pages shimmered with pale silver light. Unlike every previous message, no words appeared immediately. Instead, delicate lines spread across the page, joining together until they formed an intricate map of the Vane Mansion and everything hidden beneath it.She studied the drawing in silence.The archive where she had uncovered the truth.The forgotten sanctuary that had preserved the first bride's letters.The hidden stairway they had just descended.Every place they had visited was connected by a network of underground passages that had remained invisible until now.Yet the map did not end there.Far below every chamber they already knew, a single point glowed with a steady pulse. The light seemed alive, expanding and contracting with perfect rhythm. As Valerie continued watching, she noticed something unsettling.The distant heartb

Valerie's POVThe silence after the first bride's message feels different from every silence Valerie has experienced beneath the Vane Mansion.Before, silence always meant something was hidden.A secret.A warning.A betrayal waiting to be uncovered.But this silence carries something else.A choice.Standing inside the ancient sanctuary with the Origin Book in her hands, Valerie finally understands the true purpose of everything she has endured.

People feared it, obeyed it, and tried to manipulate it. Each generation believed they were protecting something important, but they only continued the same cycle.The first Vane wanted to protect love.His brother wanted to control power.The generations after them inherited the consequences of both choices.Now Valerie r

Valerie's POVThe hidden chamber beneath the Sergio Estate remains active after the final message appears.The words continue to echo in Valerie's mind."The Vane curse was never the beginning.
