Chapter: Author's noteAfter a roller-coaster ride, the book has finally come to an end. To be honest, there were several times when I had considered dropping the book because I did not find any motivation to continue. However, when I read your comments, I told myself, that even if it was for one person, I should finish what I had started. And now when I look back at it, I'm glad I did it. I sincerely thank all the readers who have supported this book. I can't express it into words how much your support means to me. Now that the book has been completed, I'll take a break and come up with another story at the beginning of 2024.

Chapter: Finale (2)“I think this is a lot for Nina to process right now,” Jayden said in a protective tone. “We appreciate you sharing this with us, but she needs some time. We’ll talk about it later when she’s ready.” Isaac and Alaina exchanged a glance, recognizing the need for patience and understanding. “Of course,” Isaac replied, his voice gentle. “We’ll be here whenever she’s ready to talk.” At that moment, Isaac’s phone rang, breaking the heavy silence in the room. He excused himself with an apologetic look and answered the call. As he listened to the voice on the other end, his expression changed drastically. After a brief conversation, he hung up and turned to the couple. His expression was somber as he stood up and held Alaina’s hand. “I’m sorry, but I have urgent work that requires my immediate attention. We’ll have to leave for now, but we'll visit again soon.” “Take care, both of you.” Isaac nodded at them. Alaina, though confused, followed her husband. She gave a reluctant glance at

Chapter: Finale (1)Speaking of his daughter, Nina, he almost cried when he thought about the abuse she had suffered at Kristen’s hands. While his daughter had to tread on thin ice just for a meal, Kristen’s illegitimate child was enjoying the luxuries that never belonged to her! Unknowingly, he had added to his daughter’s sufferings. Isaac’s regret and anguish over the past intensified as he considered the stark contrast in the lives of the two children. When he realized Nina was his and Alaina’s daughter, he immediately ordered his men to do a background check on her. Everything began to fit into pieces when he found out about Nina's relationship with Kristen. Isaac looked at the woman in front of him with disgust and called the officer over. Jayden had already done an excellent job in ensuring that Kristen faced the consequences of her actions. As for Isaac, he was determined to ensure that Kristen would rot in prison for the rest of her life, wishing she was never born. Meanwhile, the situati

Chapter: The truthIsaac’s face turned ashen, and he rushed toward Alaina. Everything happened so suddenly that he could not react in time. And when he came to his senses, there was already a long cut on Alaina’s forearm. “Alaina, are you okay?” Isaac asked, his voice trembling with heartache. “I-I’m fine,” Alaina nodded, though the pain was clear in her eyes. Her arm continued to bleed, prompting Isaac to call out urgently, “Somebody, call an ambulance.” Shocked, Emilia dropped the knife from her hand. The blood drained from her face when she realized the gravity of her actions. Everyone knew Alaina was the apple of Isaac’s eye and that he treated her like a treasure. Emilia’s heart trembled when she thought about how she had inadvertently touched his Achilles' heels. She watched as everyone in the house scrambled to send Alaina to the hospital. Overwhelmed with fear and guilt, he slipped away and retreated to her room. She locked the door, hoping Isaac wouldn’t settle scores with her if any

Chapter: Beg him“I’m fine. Just a little tired,” Jayden replied weakly, his eyes still closed. “I’ll be alright after sleeping for a while.” His reassurance didn’t ease Nina’s worry, though. Her heart pounded in her throat, and she could not calm down. Wiping away her tears, a trace of stubbornness appeared in her eyes as she left the ward. Once again, Nina found herself standing in front of the imposing estate. This time, she came alone and did not alert anyone. Although Jayden forbade her from contacting Isaac, fear overrode her senses. She couldn’t shake the haunting image of waking up to his cold, lifeless body one day. The door creaked open, and Nina slipped inside, her eyes scanning the elegant foyer. She knew she was pushing her luck, but she had to convince Isaac no matter what. Turning a corner, she found herself in the expansive living room. There, seated on the sofa, was none other than Emilia Moore. After suffering multiple setbacks in life, nothing seemed to have changed for E

Chapter: Don't leave“WHAT!?” The room erupted in uproar. “No! You can’t. What about my son?” Lilian protested hysterically. “That’s my final order,” William asserted authoritatively. “As for you,” he addressed the woman, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, “Let’s get a divorce.” Lilian’s eyes widened, and she slumped onto the chair with a thud. “No…” William paid no attention to her. His old body could not hold on any longer. He patted Jayden’s shoulder lightly before turning to leave. Watching him walk away, panic seized Lilian. She jumped from her seat and dashed forward. Kneeling, Lilian grasped William’s legs and pleaded for mercy. “Husband, I’m sorry. I was blinded by greed. I acknowledge my mistake, and I promise I’ll turn over a new leaf. Please don’t abandon me,” she begged. The weight of her actions only became clear when she lost everything. Without the title of Mrs. Luxton, she was nothing. “Husband…” Lilian continued to create a scene, but it was to no avail. The guards hel

Trouble with the Devil
Liam closed the door behind and walked closer, step by step, striking fear in the girl. Nora backed away, her body hitting the icy wall. He stared at her, his deep cello voice resounding in the room.“Nora Shahan, have you forgotten what I told you three years ago? Don't provoke me. But time and time again you kept testing my patience.” He picked up her jaw harshly and continued. “Tell me, how should I punish you?” Nora met his eyes, which were filled with a coldness, making her hair stand on end. This was the real Liam, cold and heartless. She was foolish to think he had changed for the better. A pang of bitterness welled up in her heart and she closed her eyes, letting the memories from the past flood into her mind.-Three years ago, Liam had warned her to never appear in front of him and Nora had been well behaved, staying as far as away from him.

He assumed it was one of her tricks to climb into his bed. But she was certain she has fallen into an elaborate trap. With his family using despicable means to destroy everyone around him, can Liam successfully get her out of that hell house?

Chapter: EpilogueSoon, the ceremony started, and the students walked up to the podium to receive their diplomas. The loudest claps came from the Winstons when Nora received her recognition. “Congratulations,” Stefan said, pulling Nora into a hug. “Thank you!” Nora hugged him back excitedly before pulling back. Beside her, Stefan saw Liam coming over and said, “Congratulations.” Liam nodded his head at him, but Stefan pulled him into a half hug, patting his back. Liam stood rooted, his face turning awkward. He was still not used to others’ touch. Nora laughed loudly at his expression. Her baby was so cute! “Everyone, let’s take pictures,” Jessica shouted, running over with her camera. “I’ll take it.” Krystal offered. Nora stood in the middle with Liam on her left and Kris on her right. It was still a miracle how the latter graduated without failing any subjects. On Liam’s left stood Jackso

Chapter: Graduation When Nora opened her eyes in the hospital, she saw a blurry figure in front of her eyes. She could feel two tubes fixed on her nose pumping oxygen and something clamped over her fingers. “Mom?” she called out weakly. Thalia Shahan immediately caught her daughter’s hand, and a tear escaped from her eyes. “Baby, you’re finally awake!” “Ashton, look, Nora’s awake.” She called out to her husband, who was napping on the couch. Hearing her voice, he opened his eyes with a start and walked over to the bed. “Nora, do you feel any pain? Let me call the doctor.” Ashton strode out and called the doctor. The doctor entered the ward and did a series of check-ups on her. After he was done, he turned at the couple. “Mr. and Mrs. Winston, don’t worry. Her operation was done by our best medical team, so there won’t be any aftereffects. After recuperating for a few days, she can be discharged.” The couple thanked the doctor before Thalia hugged

Chapter: The truth from all these yearsSuddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the mansion. A flurry of footsteps could be heard as a man entered the garden, accompanied by two guards. “Who is he, and why did he appear at this hour?” “Is he some big shot? I’ve never seen him in Kingstown before.” The crowd whispered among themselves, trying to discern the identity of the newcomer. At that moment, someone identified the badge on the uniform of the guards and cried in astonishment. “It’s Rick, from the Luxton family!” The man called Rick, who dressed in a gray suit, curled his lips upward. Seems like the people of Kingstown were not as ignorant as he thought Seeing the man, the expressions of several influential figures changed at once. Ryan rushed forward to welcome this esteemed guests. “Mr. Rick to what do I owe your presence here?” As far as he remembered, the Luxton family had never set their foot in Kingstown. Why would this in

Chapter: Save herThe heavy slap made Nora’s head buzz, and it took her a while to return to her senses. “Bitch! It’s because of you and your family that I am reduced into this state. Do you know how disgusting it is to be a kept man by a bunch of wealthy ladies? The women are old enough to be my grandmother, yet they torture me with all sorts of toys to pleasure themselves.” Nora almost vomited hearing his words, feeling disgusted. Alex yanked her hair, forcing her to look up. “Today, I’ll let you have a taste of every torture I’ve been through.” He flung her away mercilessly and turned around to pick a bag on his left. Nora shuddered at the sight of the various sex toys inside the bag. Her heart stuck in her throat, and her voice trembled. “Alex, you’d regret it.” Alex pinched Nora’s chin and smiled lewdly. “Don’t worry, darling. As long as I get to have sex with you, I’m ready to go to hell.” Nora felt goosebumps at this touch. “After

Chapter: Engagement Stefan played the video on his phone which displayed the first floor of the Keaton’s mansion. Rather, it was surveillance footage that captured the entire incident. From the angle it was taken, it was unlikely that anyone had seen the camera. The video clearly showed that Esme had slipped on the ground while chasing Nora. Her fall had nothing to do with Nora, and it was but an accident. Stefan sighed in relief after watching the video. He didn’t need to think twice to know who the anonymous sender was. He immediately rushed inside the police station and submitted the evidence. After settling the paperwork, Nora was out of the police station. Stefan pulled her into a hug as soon as she was out and caressed her head. “It’s okay. Everything’s fine now.” Nora stood there like a lifeless puppet, her face drained of all color. She could not control herself and started bawling her eyes out as she leaned into his arms. ---

Chapter: Chloe's liesClad in a perfectly tailored black suit, Lucas strode forward, his presence commanding and cold.With a thin wisp of smoke curling from its barrel, he kept the gleaming handgun aimed at Andrew.Lucas’s piercing eyes locked onto Andrew, making the latter feel as though someone had drenched him in a bucket of ice water.Andrew staggered backward, his fear evident in the way his legs wobbled.Lucas stopped a few steps away, his imposing figure towering over the room like a dark shadow.“I see you don’t understand human language,” he said, tilting the gun. “Coincidentally, my gun doesn’t understand either. But it’s very good at making its point.”For a moment, Andrew forgot Lucas had shot him.His face twisted in rage as he shouted at the man before him.“You damned man! Why weren’t you picking up our calls, huh? The Elliot Corporation is in crisis, and you’re here doing nothing! Aren’t you too capable?” Andrew sneered. “Why haven’t you saved the company yet?”“Why should I save the compa

Chapter: Mistress“All this time, I thought you’d be miserable without me. But I didn’t expect you to actually be… sponsored by a sugar daddy.” Andrew scoffed, the disgust in his voice apparent.“If all you wanted was to be a mistress, then what was wrong with being with me? Do you think I couldn’t provide you?”Hearing his ridiculous words, Elena was so angry that she vomited blood.But before she could respond, a sweet voice interrupted her.“You’re focusing on the wrong thing, Andrew,” Chloe looked at her husband.Then, she turned to Elena with a smile that was anything but friendly. “Since you’ve latched on to someone powerful, why don’t you use that to help our company? On account of the friendship we’ve shared before, you can surely do that, right?”Andrew’s face lit up.He turned to Elena promptly and said. “She’s right! You should talk to him. Convince your sugar daddy to invest in the Elliot Corporation. This is the perfect chance to redeem yourself.”Elena stared at him before a sharp laugh e

Chapter: Heavy Price“I’ll need you to join us as well.”The words sent a chill down Andrew’s spine.A wave of disgust and rage surged through him.“No,” he said firmly, shaking his head. “That’s too much. I refuse!”Mr. Dexter laughed. “Beggars can’t be choosers, Mr. Elliot. But let me remind you, the banquet starts in a few hours. If you want those invitations, you do as I say.”Andrew gritted his teeth.This banquet wasn’t just an event; it was their last hope to salvage their crumbling empire.Although the thought made him sick, the benefits of what the invitations could bring were intoxicating.As for Mr. Dexter…He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms.It was just a one-time thing.Not like he hadn’t played with the same sex before.With a deep breath, Andrew forced himself to meet Dexter’s gaze.“Fine,” he said. “I’ll do it.”“That’s more like it,” Mr. Dexter raised his glass in a toast.Chloe gloated as she watched Andrew squirm in the same situation as her.But when she thought ab

You think we have the luxury of nannies anymore?”The little girl’s face was bright red, her small features scrunched up in discomfort.But as a first-time mother, Chloe did not know what was wrong with her daughter.What was worse was she did not try to find out, either.“Both of you are nothing but a liability,” Andrew spat, his voice dripping with venom. “

Chapter: Sacrificial LambsThomas nodded grimly. “Yes. Throw them to the public while we quietly secure whatever remains of our empire. It’s the only way.”Richard took another drag from his cigarette before crushing it into the ashtray.In fact, he had the same thought in his mind.Facing a calamity, the Elliots never hesitated to go to extreme lengths.Back then, he had also thrown his ex-wife out.If he can do it once, why wouldn’t he do it again?Just as he was about to agree, the door burst open with a loud bang.Samantha stormed inside, her face contorting with disbelief and anger.“How dare you!” she roared. “How dare you even think of throwing us out like this? After everything I’ve done for this family.”Richard’s icy gaze landed on Samantha. “You and your son have done enough for this family. Now it’s time for you both to pay the price,” he said mercilessly.“No…” Samantha’s voice trembled as she shook her head. “You can’t do this to us, Richard. We’re your family.
