Chapter: Chapter 117Elena’s POV The atmosphere in the dimly lit room was thick with tension. Daniel and I had dressed up and arrived at the reserved apartment, anticipating a confrontation. As we walked into the room where Phila had arranged everything, Daniel’s face froze in shock. There, sitting calmly, was Alex.Daniel blinked, disbelief in his eyes. "Alex? What are you doing here?"Alex slowly turned, a smirk playing on his lips. "You told me to come, remember? You texted me."Daniel’s confusion deepened. "No, I didn’t! I never texted you."I couldn’t help but enjoy the unraveling drama. With a sly smile, I crossed my legs and leaned back. "Wow, Daniel, I’m impressed. You’re truly something. But let me clear the air—I did the texting. I needed you both here. After all, birds of the same feather…"Daniel, pale and anxious, stood up and grabbed my arm. "Elena, please, I can explain—"Before he could finish, my hand flew across his face, delivering a stinging slap. "Explain? Explain what, Daniel? The f

Chapter: Chapter 116Elena’s POV I walked into the house, feeling a sense of exhaustion wash over me. I had been running on adrenaline for weeks, and it was finally catching up with me. I decided to take a nap, hoping to clear my head and recharge.As I lay in bed, I couldn't shake off the feeling of doubt that had been lingering in my mind. What was Daniel hiding? And why was he being so secretive?But for now, I pushed those thoughts aside and focused on rest. I slept for a few hours, waking up feeling slightly better.When I walked into the living room, Daniel was sitting on the couch, watching TV. He smiled when he saw me, and I forced a smile back."Hey, how was your day?" he asked, patting the couch next to him.I sat down, trying to act normal. "It was fine. Just tired."Daniel put his arm around me, pulling me close. "You've been working too hard. You need to take it easy."I nodded, feeling a sense of unease. I didn't want to be close to him right now, not when I had so many doubts. But I didn't

I want you to keep an eye on Daniel's moves, and see if you can find out what he's up to."Phila's eyes widened, intrigued. "You mean, spy on him?"I nodded. "Exactly. I'm about to make a big decision, and I need to be sure of what I'm doing. If Daniel's hiding something, I need to know."Phila grinned mischievously. "I'm on it. I'll dig up everything I can find."I smiled, feeling a sense of relief. "Thanks, Phila. I knew I could count on you."Phila nodded. "Don't worry, Elena. We'll get to the bottom of this. And if Daniel's hiding something, we'll expose him."I nodded, determination coursing through my veins. "Let's do it."Phila pulled out her phone and started typing away. "I'll start by hacking into his phone records, see if he's been in contact with anyone suspicious."I raised an eyebrow. "You can do that?"Phila winked. "I have my ways. Leave it to me, Elena. I'll uncover everything."I smiled and h

Chapter: Chapter 114Elena’s POV The next morning, I walked into the office, still thinking about Daniel's proposal. Phila noticed the look on my face and asked, "Hey, what's up? You look deep in thought."I sat down at my desk and filled her in on Daniel's suggestion. "He wants us to merge our properties and make him the sole owner," I said, watching for her reaction.Phila's expression turned thoughtful. "That's a big decision," she said. "What do you think about it?"I shrugged. "I don't know. That's why I'm asking for your opinion."Phila leaned back in her chair, steepling her fingers together. "If I were to advise you, I'd say keep your property to yourself."I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"Phila's expression turned serious. "You can't trust anybody, Elena. Especially when it comes to something you've worked hard for. You know what Uncle Smith tried to do to you. What if Daniel...?"I held up a hand, stopping her. "Daniel would never do that to me. He loves me."Phila's expression softened. "I know he

"After that, I'll be changing the locks and taking possession of my property."Mrs. Caroline's eyes welled up with tears, while Mr. Smith's face turned red with rage. But I just smiled, feeling a sense of triumph."I'm done here," I said, turning to leave. "Enjoy your last night in my apartment."Phila followed me out, closing the door behind us. "You were amazing in there," she said, grinning.I smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. "Thanks, Phila. I couldn't have done it without you."As we walked away from the house, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. I had taken back what was mine, and I had done it with style."Let's go celebrate," Phila said, linking her arm through mine.I nodded, smiling. "Definitely. I think we've earned it."We walked off into the night, ready to start our new life together

We were greeted by Mr. Johnson, who looked nervous and anxious."Good morning, ladies," he said, trying to force a smile.I smiled sweetly, enjoying the power dynamic. "Good morning, Mr. Johnson. Thank you for meeting us here today."We walked into the bank manager's office, where all the necessary documents were laid out on the table. Mr. Johnson hesitated, looking at the papers as if he was about to sign away his soul."Is everything in order?" the bank manager asked, looking at Mr. Johnson expectantly.Mr. Johnson nodded, his hand trembling as he signed the documents. Phila and I exchanged a triumphant glance, knowing that this was the final step in our plan."Thank you, Mr. Johnson," I said, taking the signed documents from him. "You've been a great help."Mr. Johnson looked like he was about to cry, but I just smiled and patted him on the back. "Don't worry, Mr. Johnson. You'll be rewarded for

Chapter: Chapter 117The wind howled through the ruined temple as we stood at the precipice of the final battle. The sky churned with dark clouds, unnatural in their movements, as if the world itself knew what was coming. A storm was brewing—not just in the heavens, but in our souls.I could feel it. The darkness. The raw, unrestrained energy that had been sealed away for centuries, now clawing its way back into existence.And at the heart of it all, him.The one who had orchestrated it from the shadows.The one who had betrayed Lunara all those years ago.And the one who now stood before me, watching with eyes that glowed like molten fire.Malakai.I took a slow step forward, my pulse steady even as my body braced for what was to come. Luca and Damien flanked me, their presence grounding me, but I knew—this was my fight.Malakai smiled, his voice like silk laced with poison. “So, you finally remember.”I clenched my fists, power humming beneath my skin. “I do.”His smile widened. “Then you know why this

Chapter: Chapter 116The weight of the revelation pressed down on me like a crushing tide. My breath came in short, shallow gasps as I stared at the altar, the symbols etched into its stone glowing with an eerie light.The last of my kind. A forgotten bloodline. A ritual that would unlock the truth.Every nerve in my body screamed at me to stop—to turn away before I unleashed something I couldn’t control.But I had come too far to stop now.I forced myself to stand, my legs trembling beneath me. Luca’s hand shot out to steady me, his touch firm yet careful.“Angelina,” he said, his voice low, controlled. “Are you sure about this?”I looked up at him, into those dark eyes that had seen too much, endured too much because of me. I could see the war raging inside him—his need to protect me battling against the understanding that I needed to do this.I nodded. “I have to be.”Damien exhaled sharply behind me. “Well, this is either going to be a breakthrough or an absolute disaster.”I ignored him and stepped t

Chapter: Chapter 115The figure’s silver eyes burned into mine, their glow the only source of illumination in the endless void around us. My breath hitched, my heart hammering as I struggled to process their words.“Who are you?”It was such a simple question, yet it sent a shiver down my spine.Because I didn’t know the answer.I had been an omega—weak, unwanted, discarded. Then, I had been a wife—betrayed, used, thrown away. Now, I was something else entirely.Something more.The figure took a step forward, their form shifting as if they weren’t entirely bound to this plane. I instinctively tensed, ready to run if I had to, but something about them held me in place.“You don’t know yet, do you?” the voice mused, a strange mixture of amusement and something… deeper. Something ancient.My hands curled into fists at my sides. “I don’t know what you mean.”They tilted their head, as if observing me more closely. “You stand at the edge of two worlds, yet you belong to neither.

The creatures lay scattered, their twisted forms crumpled against the trees. But the silence wasn’t reassuring. It felt like the calm before a storm.Luca’s grip on my arm was firm but not painful, grounding me as I wobbled slightly on my feet. His eyes bore into mine, dark and unreadable. “Angelina,” he said, his voice low but urgent, “what did you feel?”I swallowed hard, my throat dry.How could I explain something I didn’t even understand?“It was like…” I hesitated, searching for the right words. “For a moment, when my power touched them, I could hear something. Not words, exactly, but—” I stopped, frustrated.“A connection?” Damien guessed, his gaze sharp.I nodded slowly. “Yes. It felt… ancient. And familiar, somehow. Like a whisper in the back of my mind.”Luca exchanged a glance with Damien, somethin

Chapter: Chapter 113The forest remained eerily quiet as we moved forward, the only sound coming from the rustling leaves beneath our feet. The adrenaline was still coursing through my veins, making my fingers tremble slightly, but I forced myself to stay focused. Whatever had just happened—whatever power I had used—I needed to understand it. Control it. Because if I didn’t, it could consume me.Luca’s gaze flickered to me every few seconds, as if he was assessing me, trying to make sense of what I had done. He wasn’t the only one. Damien, who had been tense and sharp through every battle, was unusually quiet. He kept his distance, but I could feel his eyes on me too, wary and calculating.I didn’t blame them.Even I wasn’t sure what I had become.I clenched my fists at my sides and focused on the path ahead. The trees had started to thin, the density of the forest giving way to a faint, silvery mist. It curled around our legs, making it feel like the ground itself was shifting beneath us.“We’re close,”

Chapter: Chapter 112The darkness of the forest pressed in on all sides, the shadows seeming to stretch further with each passing minute. The air was thick with the smell of wet earth, and the distant rustle of leaves only heightened the sensation of being followed. Every step felt heavier, as though the forest itself was conspiring against us, drawing us deeper into its labyrinth of twisted trees and tangled underbrush. The weight of the unknown pressed down on my chest, suffocating me.I had always known that power came at a cost, but I had never fully understood it until now. The force that surged within me—this strange, dangerous energy—was both a gift and a curse. Each time I used it, I felt like I was losing a part of myself. I wasn’t just tapping into some external source of power; I was becoming something else. Something more dangerous.And the worst part? I didn’t know if I could control it.Luca’s presence beside me was a steadying force, though. His calm, unshakable demeanor seemed to balance o

Chapter: Chapter 129Ophelia’s POV The days following my engagement to Aaron were nothing short of magical. It felt like the universe had finally smiled upon me, after everything I had endured. The nightmares of the past—Samara, Kent, the danger to Caleb—seemed to drift farther away with each passing day, replaced by something far more beautiful: the chance to build a future, a future filled with love, joy, and the promise of new beginnings. Aaron and I had taken to spending even more time together as we prepared for our wedding and the launch of my new business. Caleb, too, was more content than I’d ever seen him. It was as though the wounds of the past were healing, replaced by an undeniable sense of peace and happiness. One Saturday morning, I woke up early, as I often did, to find the soft rays of the sun filtering through the curtains of our bedroom. I smiled to myself as I turned over to see Aaron, still peacefully asleep beside me. His features were relaxed, the lines of tension from earlier m

Chapter: Chapter 128Ophelia’s POV Three months. It had been three months since everything turned upside down. Three months since the nightmare ended with the death of Samara and Kent’s final betrayal. Three months since Caleb and I were rescued from their grasp, and Aaron had stepped into our lives in ways I couldn’t have ever imagined. I leaned against the window of Aaron’s penthouse, watching the city lights shimmer below. The hustle and bustle of the world outside felt so distant now, like a memory I wasn’t sure I wanted to revisit. The pain and chaos of the past were slowly fading into the background, and the future—my future—was taking shape in ways I never thought possible. I glanced over at Caleb, who was playing with his toys in the living room. He was laughing—genuinely laughing—like he hadn’t in a long time. The last few months had been transformative for both of us. Caleb had his moments of fear and uncertainty, but with Aaron’s unwavering support, he was slowly finding his joy again. And

Chapter: Chapter 127Ophelia’s POV The room fell into a stunned silence after the shot rang out. The echo of the gunfire hung in the air like a cruel reminder of everything I had been through. Samara lay sprawled on the floor, her eyes wide open in disbelief, the blood pooling around her neck. For a moment, I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. My heart was racing, my hands still trembling from the adrenaline coursing through my veins. It was over. It was finally over. But as I stared at Samara’s lifeless body, something inside me broke. I had fought so hard to get to this point, to protect Caleb, to get my life back. And yet, all I felt in that moment was emptiness. “Ophelia!” a voice broke through my fog of thoughts. I turned to see Aaron rushing toward me, his face pale and his eyes filled with concern. Behind him, the SWAT officers were securing the area, making sure everything was under control. But it was Aaron who I needed, his presence grounding me in the chaos. He stopped in front of me, taki

Chapter: Chapter 126Ophelia’s POV The air inside the car felt thick with tension as I drove toward the hideout, my knuckles white from gripping the steering wheel. Each word of Samara’s voice still echoed in my mind. The threats. The mockery. How naïve she thought I was, how helpless she believed me to be. But I wasn’t helpless anymore. I wasn’t that same girl who had been caught in her web of lies. I had changed. I had Aaron now—someone who would do anything to protect me. But even as I repeated this to myself, the sinking feeling in my chest wouldn’t disappear. The thought of Caleb—my son—kept pushing me forward. He was out there, trapped, with Samara and Kent. I couldn’t afford to be weak. I couldn’t let them break me again. I knew I was walking into a trap, but it didn’t matter. Caleb needed me. There was no other choice. I pulled into the abandoned warehouse where Samara had directed me. The place was desolate, the windows boarded up, and the area surrounding it looked abandoned for years. My

I could feel the weight of the tension in the air, the fear and the uncertainty pressing against me. But there was something about him—something steady in the way he looked at me—that reassured me. We would get through this. He wasn’t going to let anything happen to Caleb. I watched as Aaron moved through the living room, scanning the space with a sharp, calculating look. His eyes swept over everything with a precision that made me feel safe, even though the dread in my chest didn’t subside. “Caleb’s upstairs,” I said, my voice shaking slightly as I motioned toward the staircase. “He was fine when I last checked.” But my instincts, which had been on high alert ever since Samara’s call, urged me to move faster. I didn’t like the stillness in the house. It was too quiet, too calm, like something was about to shatter. “I’ll go check on him,” Aaron said, his tone firm. But I was already heading for

I sat on the couch, my phone resting on the coffee table, my fingers twitching as I glanced nervously at it. I had never felt so vulnerable, so helpless. Caleb was asleep upstairs, unaware of the growing danger that loomed over us. Aaron had left to take care of some business—he’d insisted on handling things alone, as much as I hated the idea. But I knew he was trying to protect me, to keep me from spiraling. Even so, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something terrible was coming, and we weren’t ready. The house felt too quiet, too still, the air heavy with tension. Every small noise made me jump, and I was hyperaware of the faint creaks of the house settling. My thoughts constantly circled back to Samara. I had barely heard from her after the confrontation in the park, and that should have been a relief. But instead, it left a strange unease crawling under my skin. I knew she wa
