All Chapters of System Activated: The Plus-Sized Underworld Queen: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 41:Have We Met Before?Avenne’s POV“Beatrice, I said stop!”The President’s furious voice filled the sitting room just as Beatrice’s fingers reached the edge of my mask, and before she could pull it away, he grabbed her wrist and forced her hand back.I remained frozen in my seat, my heart pounding so violently that I could barely hear anything around me, while I struggled to steady my breathing and hide the fear that threatened to betray me.For one terrible moment, I had been certain that everything was about to end, that the mask I had depended on to protect my identity would be ripped away in front of the man I had once called my husband, but the President had stopped her just in time.I slowly released the breath I had been holding, although I knew I could not afford to relax because Beatrice was still standing in front of me, looking as though she wanted to tear the entire room apart.“Let go of me!” she snapped, pulling her wrist from his grasp. “Have you completely lo

Chapter 43 : The Past She Tried to EscapeAvenne’s POV“He’s your ex-husband?”The President stared at me as if he had not heard me correctly.I lowered my eyes and nodded. “Yes.”“Are you talking about him?” He pointed toward the door through which his stepbrother had left a few minutes ago. “My stepbrother is your ex-husband?”“Yes,” I repeated quietly.For a moment, neither of us spoke.I had prepared myself for his anger. I expected him to demand why I had kept such an important secret from him, especially when I had agreed to marry him. Perhaps he would accuse me of deliberately hiding the truth because I wanted to use our marriage to get close to his family.I would not have blamed him if he thought that way.After all, I had just agreed to become his wife, and his stepbrother was the man I had once called my husband.I tightened my fingers around the edge of my dress, waiting for him to say something that would make me regret telling him the truth.Instead, he let out a slow br

CHAPTER 45 : THE PRESIDENT’S FIANCÉEAvenne’s POV“The medical center is one of the most important places in our settlement, and I expect every one of you to take your responsibilities seriously.”The head of medicine stood in front of us, his hands clasped behind his back as he addressed the doctors and other medical workers gathered in the meeting room.“Since the apocalypse began, we have lost too many people because of a lack of medicine, poor equipment, and the inability to treat certain conditions. We cannot afford to continue making those mistakes. Every patient who comes through our doors deserves proper care, regardless of their background or position.”I listened quietly, occasionally glancing at the system displayed before my eyes.I had already finished treating my morning patients, but the head of medicine had called everyone together for this meeting. He wanted to discuss the medical center’s new arrangements, the distribution of available medicine, and the responsibilit

CHAPTER: THE UPCOMING EVENTAvenne’s POVI was still thinking about Beatrice’s words when the President’s phone rang.He took it from his pocket and glanced at the screen before answering. I couldn’t hear everything the person on the other end was saying, but I noticed his expression becoming serious.“All right. Send the details to my office,” he said before ending the call.He put his phone away and turned to me.“There’s something we need to discuss.”I sighed. “What is it this time?”He raised an eyebrow. “Why do you sound as if talking to me is a punishment?”“Because whenever you say we need to discuss something, it usually means another problem is coming.”He gave a small laugh. “At least you’re learning.”I rolled my eyes. “Just tell me what it is.”“There’s an important event taking place in a few days. The settlement’s leaders, military officers, heads of different departments, and influential families will attend.”I nodded, wondering why he was telling me about it.“And?”

CHAPTER 49 : THE FACE BEHIND THE MASKAvenne’s POV“I didn’t do anything to her!” I shouted, but nobody seemed willing to listen.The woman was still lying on the floor, unable to move her legs. Her companion knelt beside her, holding her hand while glaring at me as if I had committed the worst crime imaginable.“You were fine before she touched you!” he shouted at the woman. “Look at you now! You can’t even move your legs!”“I was trying to help her,” I explained, my heart pounding. “She suddenly collapsed, and I only wanted to make sure she was all right.”“Help her?” He sprang to his feet. “Is this what you call helping someone? She was standing on her own before you came near her. Now she cannot even move her legs!”The people around us began talking at once.“She must have done something to her!”“Who is this woman?”“Why is she wearing a mask in the first place?”“She should be arrested!”I clenched my hands.I had only wanted to save a stranger. I had not expected the situation
