Semua Bab When Two Tyrants Tie the Knot: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Shane felt a wave of unprecedented panic. A weightless sensation of stepping into thin air left him barely able to keep his footing.Right then, his personal phone rang sharply. The name flashing across the screen was Joe Baxter—Yael's father.Shane took a deep breath to force down his turbulent emotions and answered the call.Joe's furious roar instantly boomed from the other end. "Shane Steele! You bloody bastard! Your crazy wife severed the tendons in my son's hand! The doctor says even if they reattach it, his right hand is completely ruined! We will never let this slide! You must give our family an answer for this!"Shane's brows knitted together tightly. The tendons in Yael's hand were severed? He knew Lena had escaped from Yael, but he had no idea things had unfolded like this.Almost instinctively, a protective instinct overrode everything else. He snapped coldly into the phone, "An answer? Yael touched someone he shouldn't have. He brought it on himself!"The only reason

Liam adjusted his glasses. His gaze behind the lenses was sharp and composed. "You know very well whether I'm talking nonsense or not. Let me ask you. In all the years you've known Lena, when have you ever seen her shed a single tear over an irrelevant person or thing?"Every time she smashed cars, fought, or caused trouble, wasn't it always because someone else provoked her first?"Shane opened his mouth to argue, only for his thoughts to spiral into utter chaos.The image of Lena as an arrogant, reckless force was so deeply ingrained that he had always assumed she was the one starting every fight.Yet, thinking back carefully… that time at the bar was because someone had put their hands on her. Setting the yacht on fire was because the owner had scammed her best friend out of money. Ramming into the paparazzi was because they had been filming her secretly for half a month…Liam watched his shifting expression and continued, "You said her despair over losing the baby was absurd a

Shane had thrown away the cake Lena meticulously prepared like it was worthless trash.He had treated her clumsy gestures of goodwill as a nuisance and harassment.He had shattered her only hope with his own hands.He had coldly labeled the baby she viewed as her life as "a problem that shouldn't exist", then forcibly took the baby away from her.He had even… hurt her, humiliated her, and driven her to the edge over and over again for the sake of another woman at her most agonizing and desperate moments!Unable to take it any longer, Shane scrambled to his feet. Like a completely unhinged beast, he went on a rampage, smashing everything in the office.Computers, documents, decorations, chairs… Everything within reach was smashed or overturned.Shards flew everywhere amid non-stop deafening crashes.He hated himself.He hated his own delayed realization.He hated his blind stupidity.He hated himself for trampling the cautious yet burning sincerity she hid beneath her arrogan

The operating room doors swung open, and the doctor stepped out. "The patient sustained damage to the tendons and blood vessels in her wrist, which we've stitched up."She's lost a significant amount of blood and needs to be kept under observation. Also, her emotional state is extremely unstable. She'll need someone by her side to keep her calm when she wakes."Shane closed his eyes and took a deep breath.Stepping into the ward, he saw Yasmine already awake, her face as pale as paper and her wrist wrapped in thick bandages.The moment she caught sight of him, tears spilled over again as she reached out weakly. "Shane… don't leave… I'm scared…"As Shane looked at the fragile, helpless, and dependent look in her eyes, the words of farewell that had reached the tip of his tongue vanished back down his throat.Duty, responsibility, and the messy situation in front of him bound him like an invisible web.He had missed the fastest flight to get to Lena.Dejectedly, he sank into the

Under Kieran's calm vigilance and Lena's unyielding gaze, Shane eventually retreated and jumped back onto his speedboat in utter humiliation.The engine roared as he executed a tight turn, speeding away as if fleeing for his life.He didn't even dare look back.He was terrified of seeing that painful harmony and facing the absolute coldness in Lena's eyes.Back on shore, Shane checked into the master suite of a local luxury hotel.Outside the grand floor-to-ceiling windows lay a breathtaking expanse of mountain and lake scenery, yet to his eyes, everything looked dull and gray.Locking himself in the room, he downed bottle after bottle of hard liquor, but no amount of alcohol could extinguish the inferno of jealousy and agony raging inside him.The way Lena smiled at Kieran replayed on an endless loop in his head like a curse.He had to do something.Grabbing his phone, he dialed Michael back home. His voice was raspy and choked with alcohol and fury. "I want every piece of in
