Loren’s POV I walked down the path to the garden, my heart racing a mile a minute with each step.Despite the storm brewing inside me, I maintained a stoic expression as I kept walking. Grandma’s warning was simple – one wrong move from me and this entire plan would be ruined. Everything depended on me staying calm no matter what. I glanced at the decorations, the roses littering the ground and the candle lights illuminating the way. At the end of the chaos, sitting with the smug smile of a man who had already decided he was the winner was Asher West. “Baby,” He mused. I remained standing and he chuckled, “After all the fussing, you still crawled back to me.”“You know, from the moment you left my house months ago, I knew it was going to end like this.”A wicked smirk tugged at his lips, “I just let you circle until you found your way back to me.”“Who else could love someone like you, I mean…” He paused as he glanced at my hand. The hand Killian already arranged therapy for.

Loren's Pov For a moment I really thought I was dead until I opened my eyes and saw Killian holding Asher.I tapped around my head but there was no blood and I wasn’t in pain…That could only mean…“You took over Whitmore Group for a day and suddenly forgot who you were dealing with?” Killian snarled. “I knew when cornered, your inner cowardice would suffice and you’d try to use someone as leverage.”He picked up the gun and opened it, “So I specifically asked the officers to remove the bullets from their guns,”I let out a sigh of relief. Killian was incredibly smart.No wonder he was so calm. He was already ten steps ahead! “You lost both the battle and the war before you could even fight it.” Killian grabbed Asher collar, pressing him against the wall. “So now, we need to settle out scores,”Pilar flinched as Killian punched Asher over and over again, his blood staining his knuckles but he didn’t stop. I watched as Asher’s nose bled and felt nothing. “Those punches were for Lo

Loren’s POV Killian charged at Asher, grabbed his collar, and lifted him from the chair, but before the first blow could land, Pilar stopped him. “I want to hit him more than you do, Killian.” She admitted painfully, “But it’ll only feed his sick, twisted sense of satisfaction.”Asher dusted his clothes when Killian finally released him. I turned, walking away.I didn’t stop until I was outside the West Mansion; Killian caught up and opened his car door. I got in wordlessly, leaning against the window as the car’s engine roared to life. My fingers curled around fistfuls of my dress, digging into my skin. Asher’s words echoed in my head, making it harder and harder to breathe. For the first time in my life, as the car pulled into the Whitmore Estate — I felt like there was really no way out.“What’s going on?” Pilar spoke up, poking her head out before gasping. “Killian, the press are standing outside!”I raised my head, my heart pounding in my chest as they spotted our car and st

Loren’s POV “I’ll go find her,” I moved to leave but Killian held me back. “It’s really late, Loren. Besides, we have no clue where she is; even if you go, I’m coming along.”Our eyes locked but I removed his hand. “I feel disgusted to admit it, but if there’s anyone who knows where Asher West will hide someone, it’s me. I’ve spent my entire life, learning his habits and understanding him,”“Two, this is clearly a distraction. We can’t fall for his old tricks anyone, Killian. You need to protect everyone else and use your guards to protect them too.”Killian started shaking his head but I cupped his cheeks. “I trust you with my life; don’t you trust me with mine?”“I’ll send one of my trusted guards with you,” Camille spoke up, “Asher won’t get suspicious.”I nodded as Camille introduced the guard to me. Just as I moved to exit the estate, Camille spoke up. “Please bring my cousin back, Loren; she’s all the family I have left from my mom.”I nodded and rushed out, entering the car

“Objection, Your Honor,” Asher’s attorney spoke up, “they cannot present a witness without—““Objection overruled,” The judge said, his gaze fixed on me as he continued, “You have five minutes.”I glanced at Asher, “I’ll make it worth it. But first, I need a charger,”“Mrs. Whitmore, this is a court, not a charging unit.”“I know, but all the evidence is on this phone and it’s switched off.” I held it up. Asher laughed. “What new drama is this Loren, are you just trying to stall the inevitable verdict? Why are you determined to ruin me?”“You already ruined yourself; I’m just showing the world all the damage,” I turned to the judge. “Your Honor, releasing a criminal back to society without seeing the evidence will be a huge blunder. I just need to charge the phone.”The judge stared at me for a moment before nodding, I put the charger in and the phone screen flickered to life. Then, I transferred the files to a drive and handed it to the bailiff. My heart pounded in my chest as they
