Elona leaned back in the plush leather seat of the private jet, the soft hum of the engines providing a calming backdrop to her thoughts. Through the window, the vast ocean stretched out below her, its surface shimmering under the sunlight. Beside her, her three children sat, immersed in their own activities.Arlyle was typing furiously on his laptop, the glow of the screen reflecting in his intense eyes. At just three and a half years old, his dexterity and understanding of complex coding languages were astounding. Beside him, Artie was sketching designs for a new firewall system, his brows furrowed in deep concentration. Meanwhile, Allie sat quietly with her sketchpad, her delicate fingers moving gracefully as she brought her latest masterpiece to life, a beautifully intricate calligraphic design.Elona’s gaze softened as she watched them, pride welling in her chest. They were her greatest treasures, and their talents were far beyond what even she had imagined. But there was more a

Harley sat in her mother Helena's elegant parlor, the room dimly lit by a soft golden chandelier. Her hands trembled as she held her tea cup, unable to meet her mother’s sharp gaze. Helena’s presence was always imposing, her beauty cold and commanding, a stark contrast to Harley’s own delicate features.“I don’t know what to do, Mother,” Harley whispered, her voice cracking. “I... I drugged Alaric that night, thinking it would bring us closer. But—” She paused, the memory choking her. “He fought the effects. Instead of... succumbing, he collapsed. The doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong, and he fell into a vegetative state.”Helena’s expression didn’t falter, but the slight narrowing of her eyes betrayed her anger. “You mean to tell me that your reckless desperation nearly killed him? Do you understand the consequences of what you’ve done?”Harley nodded, her tears spilling over. “Senior Royale brought in a Chinese doctor to save him after the hospital gave up. That doctor... i

Alaric stepped out of the sleek black car and took in the sight before him. A sprawling estate tucked deep within the rolling countryside of Country S. Its grandeur was undeniable, yet it carried an air of defiance. The towering walls and looming gates seemed less an invitation and more a statement. Julio, the elusive artist, guarded his world fiercely.It had been three agonizing days since Alaric set foot in the country, and every hour had been consumed by his relentless pursuit of Julio. No calls were returned. Every attempt to reach him through intermediaries met the same response: Julio does not entertain visitors. Alaric had tried persuasion, subtle bribes, and even appealing to Julio’s ego, but the man remained a ghost. It was only by sheer persistence and a bit of calculated manipulation, that Alaric finally secured a grudging invitation to the estate.As he walked through the heavy wooden doors, Jimmy followed close behind, his usual jovial demeanor replaced by quiet apprehen

The drive back from Julio’s estate was cloaked in silence, the low hum of the car’s engine the only sound breaking through the tension. Alaric stared out the window, the sprawling countryside of Country S a blur of greens and grays. His mind was racing, piecing together the new revelations like shards of glass in a broken mirror. Jimmy finally broke the silence. “Boss, what’s the play now? You think Elona’s ready for this bombshell?”Alaric didn’t answer immediately. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the photograph again, his thumb brushing against the faded edges. Esmeralda’s haunting beauty and the innocence in Elona’s young eyes stared back at him. The weight of responsibility was immense.“She deserves the truth,” Alaric said eventually, his voice steady but low. “But it’s not just about telling her. It’s about what this truth will bring. Power. Enemies. Legacy. This isn’t just her past; it’s her future.”Jimmy nodded, though his unease was clear. “Still, it’s a lot for on

The fire crackled softly in the Carters' exquisite sitting room, its flickering light casting Helena Carter’s shadow long and imposing against the wallpaper. Across from her, Harley paced, her frustration palpable in every sharp click of her heels against the marble floor.“I don’t understand it, Mother,” Harley seethed, her hands clenching at her sides. “I followed your advice. I sent the photos, wired the payment, and waited for the results. Instead, the assassin returned my money and told me to stay away from her! They said Elona’s untouchable!” Helena sat back, swirling her tea with a delicate spoon. She didn’t even glance up. “And you listened to them?”“They made it clear,” Harley snapped, her voice rising. “Elona’s built some sort of fortress around herself. She’s not the same naive girl we bullied before.” By now, she was visibly agitated. “Of course, she’s not,” Helena said smoothly, setting her cup down. “It’s been years. And you’ve grown soft, Harley. You hesitate, you seco
Last Updated : 2024-12-09Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret The Cost Of Failure
The Guild of Shadows operated from the unseen cracks of the world, neutral but resolute, efficient but ethical. While other mercenary groups operated purely for pay, The Guild of Shadows worked on principles that transcended greed. All thanks to the guidance of Master Fu and his deputy, Elona Carter. They only allowed ethical assassins to be part of the guild. Their members eliminated threats, dangerous dissidents, rogue cartels, and destabilizing influences but never the innocent. They maintained balance, and their reputation was ironclad. It was a promise, a code, and a rule that no member could break. Lee had no idea what kind of monster he was about to wake up when he sought their help in order to carry out the job he took from Helena.Lee thought he was meeting a contact, just another group of mercenaries with the experience and manpower to eliminate Elona Carter and her triplets. He had no idea that this was the Guild of Shadows. Desperation clouded his judgment, and the promis

Three days passed in agonizing silence. Helena Carter paced around her study, her perfectly manicured nails tapping her phone screen as she checked it for the umpteenth time in that hour. Still, nothing. No response whatsoever from Lee.Lee was the man she had trusted for years. The very assassin who had helped her eliminate Esme, Elona's mother, suddenly became unreachable. Calls went unanswered, texts unread and by the fourth day, Helena's patience reached its zero tolerance. "This is totally unacceptable!" She muttered through clenched teeth as she reached for her coat and handbag. Then she called for the driver, her voice clipped. "Take me to the slums!"The drive was long was long and uncomfortable, the city's glimmering towers giving way to narrow and dark alleys as well as crumbling buildings. The air grew heavy with the stench of decay and despair. Helena wrinkled her nose not even bothering to conceal her disdain for the place. The car stopped and Helena stepped out cautiou

The Carter estate’s sprawling garden basked in the warm afternoon sun, a picturesque scene of calm that belied the tension brewing among its inhabitants. Helena sat with her daughter, Harley, at a small wrought-iron table shaded by a flowering trellis. A pot of tea steamed between them, untouched, as their hushed voices carried a tone of conspiracy.“You need to be more careful,” Helena said, her voice sharp but low. “The failure with the first assassin has drawn unnecessary attention.”Harley scowled, stirring her tea absentmindedly. “Mother, I followed your advice and let you handled it. You sought out Lee, but what happened? Lee was supposed to be discreet, but he botched the job and ended up dying miserably.. I don’t know how Elona always stays one step ahead! This time you were even outsmarted by her. I think we should just let it be.”Helena’s lips curled into a disdainful smile. “That's just because you lack determination, Harley. If you want Alaric’s love, you have to eliminat

Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret Damn Right, You Deserve A Punch!
The cold evening air bit at Alaric’s skin as he pulled up to the gates of his villa. His mind was still reeling from his conversation with Senior Royale. The curse. The imposter. His mistakes.He had wasted over a year. A year living under the same roof as a fraud while his real wife was out there, alone. No. In the hands of another man. She didn't have her memories and that made her vulnerable. His grip on the steering wheel tightened. Never again. He will set things right. This was his vow to himself. As his car rolled to a stop, his sharp eyes caught sight of two figures standing near the gate. Edward Callahan. Tania. A frown settled on his face. What were they doing here? Hadn’t they just returned from abroad?Alaric stepped out of his car, his powerful frame cutting through the dim light of the villa’s entrance. The moment Edward spotted him, the man’s piercing blue eyes locked onto his like a predator finally finding its prey.Tania, on the other hand, looked livid, arms cross
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret The Curse Of The Royale Men
Alaric sat in his dimly lit study, the ticking of the antique clock grating on his already frayed nerves. His fingers drummed against the polished wood of his desk, his mind replaying a detail that had been gnawing at him for days.Elona was five months pregnant when she arrived in Country M with Kian. That was nine months ago. He clenched his jaw. With the right calculations, she must have given birth. So, where was the baby? Or… babies, since Elona had a history of giving birth to multiples? Since he now knew the truth, it was obvious that he was the father. A shiver ran down his spine when the possibility of Kian claiming them as his flickered in his mind. His breath turned shallow, his obsessive compulsive need for order clashing violently with the messy reality he had allowed to unfold. He was a man who thrived on control, everything in its rightful place, everything accounted for.But this? This was chaos. An unprecedented kind of chaos. The real Elona was out there, with anot
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret Rediscovering Herself Through Her Triplets
Meanwhile, in Velmorah, Aria decided not to worry about Alaric's threats or the threats that loomed in the dark. She did not even want to deal with the imposter who stole her identity. For her, the past life she once had, did not matter at all. What really mattered were her children, the flesh of her flesh. Now that they had reconnected, she felt whole again.Aria sat in the warmth of her private study, her delicate fingers curled around a porcelain teacup as she watched the triplets animatedly recount stories from their past. The soft glow of lanterns cast flickering shadows on the walls, but the only thing that held her attention was the three little geniuses before her.She had barely known them for a short while, yet it felt as though her soul had recognized them long before her mind had. They were the missing piece of her heart, the heartbeat she didn’t even know she had lost.The triplets took turns to help her understand the life they shared before she was hurt whilst accompany

The prison wardens office swirled with a suffocating tension. The revelation hand a certain ominous feeling that was pressing down on everyone in the room. The forensic team stood frozen, the results on their screen a glaring contradiction to what had been believed for over a year.“This… this isn’t possible,” the warden stammered, his face turning ashen. His fingers trembled as he clutched the paper detailing the fingerprint results. Feeling the colad and fore doing aura emanating from the Royale grandfather and grandson, his knees nearly buckled. Alaric sat across from him, and his cold, calculating gaze drilling into the man like a sharpened blade. His posture was deceptively relaxed, but his aura was suffocating. Even the most hardened officers in the room dared not meet his eyes. “Explain,” Alaric said, his voice dangerously quiet.The forensic specialist cleared his throat, stepping forward. “Sir, according to our records, this woman”, he pointed to the prison cell's current oc
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret Truth In Prison
Aria paced the length of the study, her fingers curled into tight fists. The weight of the letter still lingered in her mind, but it wasn't fear that consumed her now, it was frustration."Who does he think he is?" she muttered, her voice sharp with anger. "He had an imposter by his side for a year, and now he thinks he can summon me like I owe him an explanation?"Kian leaned against the desk, his arms crossed. "Alaric is a desperate man, Aria. The fact that he’s finally figured out that the woman beside him isn’t you means he’s digging deeper. We need to be ahead of him." Aria exhaled sharply. "I don’t care about what he figures out. I care about keeping my children out of this mess."Master Fu, who had been silent until now, set down a document on the table. "We might not have the luxury of staying out of it anymore. Our sources have confirmed something troubling, Maribel is not working alone. There's someone orchestrating this deception from the shadows."Aria stilled. "What do yo
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret Manipulated Far Longer Than He Realized
The days that followed were quiet but suffocating. The peacefulness of the Vortigen Grand Villa, which had once been a refuge, now felt more like a gilded cage. Aria's thoughts often wandered back to the time before her memories had been taken. Before she had learned the truth about her life, about Alaric, and about the world she had once belonged to. But those days seemed like a distant dream now.She focused on the present, on her children, and on the promise she had made to Kian. They would not let the past destroy what they had built. However, the threat of Alaric’s return still loomed over them like a dark cloud. The truth was out there, and it was only a matter of time before it reached him.Kian, ever the protector, was especially vigilant. He spent long hours studying the files and information Master Fu had gathered about Alaric’s movements, searching for any sign of weakness, anything that would give them an edge. He wasn’t about to let Aria slip through his fingers again. F
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret The Imposter Is Maribel!
The ominous, foreboding feeling that lingered over Vortigen Grand Villa had settled into a tense silence. Master Fu paced slowly in the study, deep in thought, while Kian and Aria sat with the triplets, who were now playfully rolling around on the rug. Their laughter seemed like a distant melody, a stark contrast to the storm brewing on the horizon.Aria absentmindedly played with Allie’s hair, the feel of her daughter’s soft curls grounding her, anchoring her to the present, to the family she had found in Kian and these beautiful children. She had made her decision. The past, with all its pain and lies, was behind her.But even as she tried to savor this peace, her thoughts kept drifting to the woman who had taken her place in Alaric’s life. The imposter.A gnawing unease began to grow inside her, the certainty of what had been done to her, what had been done to the triplets. It was a heavy feeling, one she couldn’t shake. Kian noticed her growing quiet and placed his hand gently on
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret Zero Connection To The Triplets
The Vortigen Grand Villa was silent, tension swirling around the whole place. Master Fu sat at the grand study’s desk, his fingers drumming lightly against the polished mahogany surface. The triplets sat on the plush couch with Kian and Aria, their small faces serious as they waited.In his hands, Master Fu held the DNA analysis results, sent directly from Alaric himself, who had unknowingly delivered the truth into their hands.The envelope was already opened, the paper slightly crumpled from his grip. He had read the contents twice, yet the the truth was a bittersweet revelation. Although he expected it, Aria had no recollection of her past. But it was also good for the triplets to know that they were right.Aria took a slow breath, her fingers entwined with Kian’s. Although she had braced herself, though she had always felt an inexplicable connection to the triplets, a part of her still feared, feared that this was all a cruel trick of fate.Master Fu exhaled sharply before looking
Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret Closer To The Daunting Truth
Forty-Eight Hours Later......Alaric Royale sat behind his massive oak desk, his fingers rhythmically tapping against the polished surface. The clock on the wall ticked steadily, but his mind was anything but calm.Forty-eight hours had passed. A whole two days since he had Maribel’s blood drawn under the guise of a routine check-up. Any minute now, he knew he'd be drawing closer to the truth.A soft ding echoed in the quiet office and his phone screen lit up with a message from Dr. Hastings: "The results are ready. You’ll need to see this in person."Alaric’s grip on his phone tightened. He rose from his chair, grabbing his coat with a sharp motion before striding out. Jimmy, who had been standing nearby, immediately fell in step beside him. “Sir?” Jimmy inquired, softly.“We’re going to Hastings’ clinic.” Alaric's response was clipped. Jimmy felt the suppressed rage and shuddered inwardly. Jimmy needed no further explanation. His sharp gaze darkened as he nodded. “Understood.”Dr. H
