Love's Redemption Chapter 563
"Three rounds!""No problem," I shot back, grabbing the cue stick that felt just right in my hands."Good choice," he said, eyeing me like I'd just picked out some rare treasure.I raised an eyebrow.He smirked. "That's my favorite cue.""Is that so?" I asked, matching his playful tone as I glanced down at the stick. That's when I noticed the engraving.Curious, I leaned in closer. It read 'Hart.'Before I could stop myself, the words slipped out: "This isn't your cue... it's..."I almost said Hayden's but caught myself just in time. No way. Hayden and Hernan were total enemies. There was no way Hernan would have one of his cues, especially not something personalized like this. It was clearly for someone who took snooker seriously.I remembered asking Hayden once how good he was at snooker. He'd shrugged it off like it didn't matter, saying he was "just average." No way someone like him would splurge on a custom cue. And if he did, there was no way he'd leave it for Hernan to

I didn't answer right away. Instead, I put on my best "thinking" face.Hernan gestured toward a lounge chair. "Come, sit down. Take your time."Little did he know, I didn't need to think. I already had my request locked and loaded.He settled back in his chair, casually crossing his long legs in his crisp white slacks, sipping his wine with all the cool, effortless charm of a guy who knew he looked good.And damn, did he ever. His deep-set eyes had that smoldering, I'm-about-to-pull-you-in vibe.I quickly looked away, focusing on a corner of the pool table instead. "After this match, I want you to promise never to mess with... Steve again."In the snooker world, Steve was untouchable.If Hernan and his crew were using shady underground matches to rake in cash, they wouldn't stop at one round with Steve. They'd try to pull him in, make him their personal player forever.And Steve? He'd rather break his own arm than let that happen.Hernan's brow furrowed for just a second. I sa

Hernan gave a small nod, straightening up. "Not bad. You're not totally lost in love. But seriously, why are you so hell-bent on saving Steve? Is he really that big of a deal to you?"He was sizing me up, playing it cool while trying to dig into my head, figure out how much I cared."Not really," I said, keeping it casual.He laughed like he knew I was bluffing. "Yet, you used your one shot to save him.""Steve taught me snooker," I said like it was obvious. "So, his mess is kinda my mess."Hernan shook his head, unimpressed. "But why not just use it to get yourself out? Why not ask me to let you go?"I shrugged. "Come on, you've made it clear you're keeping me here 'til the game's over. Even if you did let me go, I wouldn't make it out the door before you caught me. Besides, I came to see Steve play. I'm not running."My eyes drifted to his arm, where his sleeve was rolled up, showing a deep, jagged scar.Hernan noticed me staring and tugged his sleeve higher like he didn't ca

Oh, now I was his girl? Since when?Seriously, he was just here to cause drama.The air got super tense, like a switch flipped, and guess what? I was the one who made it happen.Jace's grip on my hand tightened, his eyes shooting daggers at Hernan. "You wanna bring the cops into this? Fine, keep your goons here," he snapped.Hernan laughed. "You're gonna use the cops to scare me? Please. You're way behind Haddy. No wonder she picked him over you."I swear, my jaw almost hit the floor. Did he really just go there? Trying to mess with Hayden and Jace like that?Jace's face went colder than I thought possible, his expression turning into straight ice. I could feel the tension—Hayden was his sore spot, and Hernan was digging in."You can have all the enemies you want, but Keira's off-limits," Jace warned.Then, without warning, Hernan grabbed my wrist, and his eyes softened, looking at me like he was about to swoon. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you. How could I hurt someone as

I shoved Jace hard. "I said I'm not leaving. Why can't you just get that? Right now, I want to stay here. Whether I end up as wolf chow or get bit by some stray dog, it's really none of your business."Jace's face went all stormy. "Rea—"I cut him off, my voice ice cold. "Jace, we don't have anything anymore. My life isn't your problem, and I don't want it to be."He just stood there, staring at me, his eyes full of raw hurt, like I'd just kicked his puppy. Finally, he muttered, "This is your choice. Don't come crying to me later.""I don't regret anything I do," I shot back, my words sharp.That stung. I saw his jaw tighten, and after a long beat, he turned and started to walk away. But then he stopped, held up a hand, and pointed at Hernan like he was about to declare war. "I'm warning you—don't hurt her. If you do, you'll regret it."With that, Jace threw one last glance my way before leaving.I stood there, watching his figure fade, a weird, familiar feeling stirring in my c

Hernan wasn't just talking big; he really didn't show up again until the day of the match. If he said Hayden would be there, he wasn't bluffing.Not that it mattered to me anymore.Turns out, even the deepest love can't survive too much disappointment. Jace, once upon a time, and now Hayden—both proved that, no problem.Hernan came back early on the third morning. I was sitting on the terrace in a rocking chair, watching the sunrise.He waved up at me from the ground floor. When I looked down, I saw him standing there in a tan suit and white slacks, holding a bouquet of white roses. At over six feet tall, with that build, he looked like he should be on a runway somewhere."Come down," Hernan called up to me.I went downstairs. As soon as I reached him, he handed me the flowers and pulled me into his arms. "Good morning, my princess."Okay, I had to admit, he was kind of romantic. Hayden showed me love, but it was always this careful, reserved thing. He never held me like this, a

My heart literally skipped a beat.Wait, Hayden brought Yara with him?Are they, like, permanently glued together now or something? Can't even go anywhere without her?Hernan caught my reaction and smirked. "Your eyes are way more honest than your words," he said, like he'd just cracked some code.With that, he turned and started walking toward the door.I swallowed, trying to shake off the dryness in my throat, then followed him.When I first got here, I'd been knocked out cold and dragged in like a rag doll. But now? I was sitting in this ridiculously fancy car, staring out the window.The scenery? Meh. My brain couldn't focus on anything.When the car finally stopped, I turned to Hernan, my heart doing flips. "Why'd you bring me to a hospital?""To visit someone," he said, his eyes narrowing like he could read my mind."Who?" My voice was tight.He leaned in close, his gaze locking on mine. "So nervous... you worried about Haddy?"He hit the nail on the head. Of course I

Isn't this guy supposed to be a total germaphobe?So why was he always holding my hand or pulling me into random hugs?Before I could yank my hand away, the guy lying in the hospital bed caught my attention.It wasn't Hayden.The guy's face twisted into a scowl as soon as he saw me. His eyebrows shot up. "Why the hell did you bring her here?" he snapped at Hernan.Hernan didn't even flinch, just held my hand tighter and led me over to the couch. "Taking her to the match. Thought we'd stop by. How's the recovery?"Bruno's face went this nasty shade of gray, and I knew exactly why. Hayden had crammed a snooker ball in his... well, let's just say it was super awkward.It was... super awkward."Hernan, if you're not helping me get revenge, fine. But why bring her here?" Bruno's voice was full of anger."Simple. She's with me now. Don't even think about touching her," Hernan said, holding our joined hands up like he was making some kind of declaration.Bruno let out a bitter laugh

Peter's expression darkened at Hayden's playful jab, but Hayden merely smiled lightly, as if relishing the discomfort. "From what you’ve said, Mr. Mitchell, you must be quite the romantic," he teased. The tea began to boil, releasing a rich fragrance into the air. Hayden had done his homework on Peter. Despite his dignified reputation, Mr. Mitchell had married three times, fathered no children with his wives, and even had an illegitimate child with a mistress. This mistress had borne him a son and then tried to leverage the child to gain the title of "Madam Mitchell." Peter, stubborn and prideful, refused her demands and even sent people to take the child by force. But the mistress, knowing Peter’s methods, preemptively entrusted the child to someone else. When Mitchell’s men came to seize the boy, an explosive argument broke out. In a fit of rage, Mitchell struck her, and in defiance, the mistress stabbed herself in the chest, intending only to scare him. Unfortunately, the blad

When Hayden arrived at the teahouse, Ron glanced at his watch and tapped it meaningfully before saying in a low voice, "The man’s been waiting for half an hour." "Getting impatient?" Hayden asked casually, his tone devoid of concern. His attire was simple and understated, nothing to draw attention. If not for his sharply defined features and the naturally aloof aura he carried, his outfit would have rendered him almost invisible in a crowd. "No, not at all. I’m quite patient," Ron replied with an exaggerated expression of innocence, as though pleading not to be falsely accused. Hayden gave him a glance that seemed to say, Then why bother pointing it out? "But arriving this late does come across as impolite, doesn’t it?" Ron added, his tone that of a model citizen, someone who might have been a class leader or an exemplary student back in the day. "I did it on purpose," Hayden replied, cutting him off with five simple words that silenced Ron. Hayden pushed open the door an
Love's Redemption Chapter 923
"Because this love didn’t give me the happiness I imagined," Lena explained with a faint smile. "It’s like going to the supermarket, picking out a snack you’re excited about, and then finding out it doesn’t suit your taste. After that, you just don’t like it anymore and won’t bother with it again." Her metaphor was strikingly apt. "And what does the happiness you imagine look like?" Aaron asked, as though playing the role of a persistent interviewer. Lena, softened by the alcohol, answered obediently, "I don’t know. But whatever it is, Nate didn’t give it to me." Aaron observed the peaceful resignation in her expression and pressed further. "Do you still believe in love? Do you still want to start a new relationship?" "Of course," Lena said, finally lifting her gaze to meet his. Her eyebrows arched into a cheerful expression. "I’m not the kind of person who gets scared off by a bad experience. If I meet someone who makes my heart race again, I’ll love them boldly and passiona

He was waiting for her? What for? "Uncle, you didn’t skip dinner, did you?" Lena’s first thought was his meal. In truth, he hadn’t eaten. After receiving her message, he had been uneasy all evening, unable to focus on food. "You didn’t eat? I’ll make something for you," Lena assumed his silence was confirmation. "There’s no need," Aaron refused. "Then why were you waiting for me? Is something wrong?" In Lena’s view, Aaron would never wait for her without a reason. He gazed at her, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly. "You’ve been drinking?" She nodded, flashing him a sweet, soft smile. She even gestured with her hand, "Just a little." Aaron stepped closer, his tall frame looming over her with an intensity that made her feel small. Though the light above bathed his eyes, they remained dark and inscrutable, filled with a depth that was hard to read. Lena sensed something was off. "Uncle, what’s wrong?" She looked into his deep, clear eyes, untouched by any impurity.

"Should we drink a little today?" Lena asked. Nate nodded. "Let’s have a drink." They warmed a bottle of wine and ordered a few small dishes. Neither of them spoke, simply sitting quietly, gazing out at the river and the occasional boats passing by. "Lena," Nate called her softly. Lena turned to look at him. The warm yellow light above cast a gentle glow on his nose, brows, and lips. His gold-rimmed glasses exuded elegance, and the texture of his shirt spoke of refined taste. Even after their breakup, Lena had to admit that Nate was precisely her type. In all her life, among all the men she had met, only Aaron and Nate could truly be called attractive in her eyes. Even Hayden and Jace were merely "not bad." It wasn’t that her standards were excessively high—it was simply that if someone didn’t resonate with her, no matter how perfect they were, she wouldn’t care for them. "Thank you," Nate said softly. Lena was momentarily stunned, assuming he was referring to their wor
Love's Redemption Chapter 920
Recently, Lena had been in a constant state of distraction. Aaron's decision to sever ties with the Aces weighed heavily on her mind. He hadn't told her the reason, only saying that she would find out in due time. She could live without knowing why, but she feared the fallout. When the truth came to light, she worried her grandparents and her mother would crumble under the weight of the news, collectively breaking down. Aaron had assured her he would handle everything, but she didn’t trust that he could shield the family from such devastation. Most importantly, she couldn’t understand why he would choose to leave the Aces. Could it really be, as the old saying went, that someone else’s child was like an ungrateful wolf? If it were anyone else, she might believe it, but this was Aaron. She couldn’t bring herself to believe he would be so heartless, so ungrateful. And yet, he had said it to her himself. It felt so unreal that Lena wondered if she had imagined it all. This tur
Love's Redemption Chapter 919
Mrs. Lane finally pieced together all the questions Lena had asked her and understood everything. Gabriel furrowed his brow and looked at Lena. "Is this really what you think?" Lena stayed silent. She did have those suspicions, but seeing how her mother had reacted so strongly, she began to wonder if she had been overthinking it. Aaron, who had already figured out the situation, looked at Lena and spoke up. "She must have misunderstood something." And he knew it was his fault. "She’s just an ungrateful brat! She doesn’t appreciate the kindness she’s been given and can’t stand seeing me be good to someone else," Mrs. Lane fumed again. Gabriel wiped away her tears gently. "Alright, maybe she was just joking with you." "Ask her if she was joking! Look at the things she’s been asking me—let her tell you herself!" Mrs. Lane pointed an accusing finger at Lena. "Big Sis," Aaron called out softly, "I’ll take Lil' Lena out for some fresh air." Without waiting for a reply, he r

"You’ll find out soon enough," Aaron’s answer echoed in Lena’s ears, leaving her restless and unable to sleep. The next day, Mrs. Lane arrived with chicken soup for Aaron and a bag full of fresh produce. "These vegetables are from a village I visited. They’re all organic, no chemical fertilizers," she gushed proudly. Lena's gaze followed her mother’s every move, scrutinizing her intently. Wherever she went, Lena's eyes followed, making her incredibly uncomfortable. "What are you staring at me for? It’s creepy," Mrs. Lane said. "Mom, why are you so good to my uncle?" Lena finally asked. "He’s my brother. Isn’t it normal for me to care for him? You think everyone’s as heartless as you?" Mrs. Lane scolded her, throwing in an insult for good measure. Lena didn’t retaliate to the insult. Instead, she pressed further, "It’s normal, sure, but the way you care for him doesn’t feel like how you’d treat a brother. It feels more like..." She paused before continuing, "Like how you’d

Keira chuckled softly. "Well, a DNA test isn’t a bad idea. At least then you won’t have to worry about being related to Mr. Ace if you two get together." Lena's eyebrows shot up instantly. "What nonsense are you spouting? Do you want me to hit you?" "Go ahead. If you break anything, you’ll have to compensate me," Keira said smugly, knowing full well she had a trump card—her precious little one growing inside her. Their playful banter caught the attention of the people in the room. They exchanged amused glances. "The things girls find joy in are beyond us," one of them said with a smile. "Let’s hope they stay happy forever," Aaron added, just as his phone began to ring. Glancing at the caller ID, he nodded at Hayden. "I’ll take this call." Aaron walked toward his study. Hayden also pulled out his phone, while Lena and Keira moved to the sofa. Keira recounted Lena’s gossip to him. "Hayden, do you think I could be the person the Mitchell family owes a debt to?" "It’s not
