Love's Redemption Chapter 720
This whole situation involved way too many people.Demi was already hanging by a thread, yet she still wanted to be the shield, the one who took the hits. I couldn't stand the thought of her going through it again.If we could find other victims—anyone willing to step forward or share evidence—maybe, just maybe, we could end DracoLux for good."Some of the girls, I can still find," Lena said, her tone serious. "But not all. And even if I do track them down, you need to understand—they didn't report it back then for a reason. There's no guarantee they'll help now."She wasn't wrong. This wasn't just hard—it was near impossible."It's okay," I said quietly. "We'll try. If they're willing, great. If not... at least we tried."My brief spark of hope gave way to a deeper sadness.The thought of how many girls had suffered like Demi made my stomach churn."I'll start looking into my records," Lena promised, determination etched across her face.She didn't care about rules or red tap
Love's Redemption Chapter 721
Tears were still running down Demi's cheeks when she suddenly smiled. "Keira, I'm starving. Grab me risotto.""On it," I said quickly. "Want some meat, too?"She used to be all about meat—then complain about dieting right after."Meat helps you heal, right? Why not?" she replied with a playful grin, like the old Demi was still in there somewhere.Her smile hit me harder than her tears. How could she act so normal when I knew she wasn't okay? I forced a grin. "Alright. Pork belly sound good?""Make sure it's marbled, not all lean or fat," she quipped, her usual picky self."Got it. Only the best for you," I promised, standing up.But instead of leaving, I hovered outside her door, leaning against the frame. A moment later, the sound of her quiet sobs slipped through.I pressed my back to the wall, eyes shut, my chest tightening like I couldn't breathe. After a second to pull myself together, I headed out to grab her food. That's when I ran into Jace.The second I saw him, my mi
Love's Redemption Chapter 722
I instinctively hid the bag behind my back, which only made the two men chuckle as they stepped into the elevator.When the doors closed, I turned toward Demi's room. But after a few steps, unease hit me like a punch in the gut.Something was off.I spun around, staring at the elevator doors. My heart was pounding before I even realized I was running."Demi!" I yelled, shoving her door open.She blinked at me, startled. "What's wrong?"Nothing had happened—at least not to me. But the fear that something might've happened to her had me panicked.Seeing her sitting there, fine, I exhaled sharply and stepped inside. As I went to set the food on her bedside table, my eyes caught something—a fat stack of cash.Hush money.My stomach churned as it clicked. Those two men had been here to make sure Demi stayed quiet."Keira, can you help me put this money away?" Demi's voice was steady, too steady.I froze, staring at the bills. "Why did you take it?"She stared blankly at the ceil

"You said you'd been suspicious of Wayne for a while. What about Jace? You were working with him, but when he was surrounded by crocodiles, you just... stood there. Why?" I finally asked, a question that had haunted me for ages.Even though Jace and I had ended things, that moment stuck in my head, like a bad movie scene I couldn't skip. I'd even dreamt about it.I'd asked Jace once, but his answer didn't feel real. Hayden's answer? That's the one I needed."Testing him," Hayden said, cool and straight to the point."Testing him? He's Wayne's brother.""He is," Hayden said, not budging. "But not entirely. There were... other reasons.""Like what?" I pressed, trying to stay patient.I was sitting sideways, avoiding his bandaged arm. His face was out of view, but his voice stayed steady."Because everything pointed too perfectly at Wayne, like it was staged," he explained.His words pulled me back to the events of that time.Things went south as soon as I moved into Wayne's vil
Love's Redemption Chapter 724
Hayden didn't say a word.I wasn't sure what he meant by his silence, but the thought of him with Yara made me snort coldly. "Of course you're not scared. You've never exactly been short on women, have you?"His eyes stayed locked on me. That look made guilt creep up my spine.Just as I was about to demand why he was staring like that, he finally spoke. "What I fear more than anything is seeing you hurt."Oh.So, he was willing to let me hate him, push him away, yell and scream—all to keep me safe.His intentions really were painstakingly sincere.I got it. I really did. That desperate kind of love, where the thought of losing them terrifies you more than anything else."Stop with the sweet talk," I shot back. "You're just trying to get off easy. Love isn't about bailing when it gets hard—it's about sticking together through it."Hayden's fingers brushed my cheek, warm and steady. "I'd give up the whole world before I'd lose you."It wasn't like him to say things so bluntly,
Love's Redemption Chapter 725
Wayne was behind his pain, and I made a mental note to remember it.I stopped, still pressed close to Hayden, catching my breath. Messing around with him like this felt... good, like we were back to normal.Then I remembered he was technically still supposed to be in a coma. "How long are you planning to keep up the act?" I asked."I'm done. I'm awake now, aren't I?" he replied, grinning lazily.I couldn't help but laugh. "You're such a troll. You're just messing with them for fun, aren't you?"Hayden's expression darkened slightly. "If I didn't have bigger priorities, I'd do more than mess with them. I'd make them pay."His tone was casual, but the words carried a dangerous edge.He called it "messing," but we both knew he was talking about risking everything—his life, no less. It wasn't that different from what Demi had been through."I saw Demi..." I told him about her situation, sharing everything I'd learned. Hayden didn't say a word, but I could see the weight of it in hi
Love's Redemption Chapter 726
Benefactor?!I burst out laughing. Hayden didn't let his playful side show often, and when he did, it always caught me off guard.It was just a joke, but hearing him call me that was surreal. Life really is unpredictable. You never know how things will play out or what roles you'll end up in.The future's a blank slate, and we're all just winging it.With Hayden still recovering and Demi needing her own time to heal, I knew I couldn't handle taking care of both of them. So, I hired caregivers for each instead.Of course, Hayden flat-out refused. "I can walk, move, and feed myself. I don't need anyone," he insisted.It wasn't just stubbornness—I knew he didn't like strangers hovering around him. And let's be real, he probably just wanted me to take care of him.Men can be so extra sometimes, full of their own little schemes, just like us.Lately, though, there was something different about Hayden. It was subtle, but he'd been a bit clingy—showing this softer, almost boyish side
Love's Redemption Chapter 727
It felt like another riddle waiting to be solved, but honestly? The less I knew, the safer we both were.Hayden kissed my forehead. "Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere—my little monster needs me."Little monster?! Okay, adorable. I grabbed my phone and immediately updated my chat app username to match.Steve noticed in about two seconds flat. [Who are you planning to attack now?] he messaged.I smirked, thinking, 'Monsters don't attack—they just make sure no one messes with them.'It had been a while since I'd heard from Steve. After Houston, all I knew was he'd sold his pool hall and gone off the grid.Considering how messy things got back there, I couldn't blame him for bailing. Honestly, it was probably the smartest move.I fired back two words: [Fighting demons!]Steve replied almost instantly. [How have you been lately?]Whether I was good or not didn't really matter. If he'd been keeping up with the news, he'd already know. The fact he asked meant he hadn't been paying

"Got it!" Lena responded cheerfully. She washed her hands before sitting back down, picking up the utensils Aaron had prepared for her, and diving into her dumpling-and-dipping-sauce breakfast combo. "Uncle, why aren’t you eating?" She had already eaten two dumplings before realizing he hadn’t touched any. "I’m not hungry." Three words. Which meant he hadn’t eaten yet. "There’s too much food. I can’t finish it all by myself. Eat some too," Lena said casually as she picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks and held it up to his mouth. She did it so naturally—until she realized what she had just done. Aaron froze for a second, surprised by her gesture. The moment of hesitation made her realize too—wasn’t this kind of inappropriate? She was just about to pull her hand back when— He leaned in and took the dumpling straight into his mouth. Lena’s face flushed red in an instant. She hurriedly withdrew her hand, lowered her head, and focused on eating. Meanwhile, Aar
Love's Redemption Chapter 1012
She was shocked to see him here so early. Especially today—a day when everyone was celebrating the new year, spending time with their loved ones—and yet, he was here. With her. Lena wasn’t made of stone. She felt it. A warmth, an unspoken emotion that settled deep in her chest. "Uncle, why are you here so early?" She walked over, hands casually tucked into her coat pockets. "I didn’t want you to go hungry," Aaron replied simply, lifting the bag of food in his hand. He glanced at her break room. "Open the door." She unlocked the door and stepped inside, with him following close behind. Her break room was small—a single desk and chair, a narrow bed, and a tiny wardrobe. Nothing extra, nothing unnecessary. "Sit down, Uncle," she said naturally, settling onto the bed while motioning for him to take the chair. Aaron placed the food down and asked, "Did you sleep at all?" "I did," Lena replied. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she thought of that dream—and let o

"If it weren’t for my goddaughter, I wouldn’t even bother with you," Lena said, gently rocking the baby in her arms. "Right, little Aurora? Your godmother just adores you." "Come on, Aurora, it’s time to eat," Lena said as she carefully placed the baby in Keira's arms. Although it was her first time, Keira wasn’t embarrassed. She followed Lena’s instructions, trying to breastfeed for the first time. But the process was… painful. And since her posture was incorrect, neither of them got it right—Keira ended up covered in sweat from struggling, and her baby still hadn’t eaten properly. Panic set in. Anxiety crept up her spine. "What do I do?" Keira asked, her voice tight with unease. "It’s okay. This happens at first. Let’s transition with formula for now," Lena reassured Keira before glancing at Hayden, who had been standing there the whole time, watching anxiously—and sweating just as much as Keira was. "Go make your daughter a bottle," she told him. Hayden, the man wh
Love's Redemption Chapter 1010
That conversation… Lena shuddered. Yeah, she had definitely come back too early. It was best to leave now before she ruined the mood for those two inside. Not wanting to hear any more, she quickly turned to leave—only to smack her leg against a nearby chair. The pain was real, but worse was the noise it made, drawing attention to her presence. Inside the room, Hayden—already feeling awkward from Keira's teasing—froze. The sound from outside made him even more uncomfortable. Keira couldn’t hold back her laughter. The moment Keira burst out laughing, however, pain shot through her lower abdomen. "Ah—ow!" Keira gasped. Hayden immediately panicked. "What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?" Hearing her cry, Lena rushed in as well. "What happened?" "I laughed too hard and pulled my stitches," Keira explained, gripping Hayden’s hand tightly. Lena glared at Keira. "You’re a mother now, and yet you’re still acting like a child. Do you have any idea what condition you’re in?"

"It’s fine. I can do it," Hayden said naturally as he picked up the basin and went to fetch warm water. The moment he stepped out, Lena turned to scold Keira. "You went through so much pain to give birth to his child. Why would you feel bad about letting him do something for you?" "It’s not that I feel bad—I just feel embarrassed," Keira whispered in defense. Lena rolled her eyes. "So dramatic." Keira shot her a glare in return. "Just wait until it’s your turn. When your husband has to handle your private matters, you’ll understand how awkward it is." The moment the words left Keira's mouth, she saw Lena’s face turn red. Lena quickly hugged the baby and turned away. But Keira caught it. Something was off. "Wait… why are you blushing?" Keira asked suspiciously. "I am not blushing," she denied immediately. What Keira didn’t know was that her words had triggered the memory of Lena's ridiculous dream—where she had been lying on the delivery bed, cursing Aaron while gi
Love's Redemption Chapter 1008
The moment she finished cursing, Lena jolted awake. She sat there, dazed. What kind of ridiculous dream was that? She had assisted in delivering countless babies before, but this was the first time she had ever dreamed of giving birth herself. And not only that—she had dreamed of giving birth to Aaron’s child? That was beyond outrageous. Absolutely absurd! What a way to start the new year. That dream was anything but beautiful. Lena ran a hand down her face, shaking off the lingering unease. She quickly got up, poured herself a glass of water to calm down, and then left the break room. Back in the hospital room, Hayden was feeding Keira. Keira was perfectly capable of eating on her own, but he insisted on feeding her, saying that she was in a special period and should be treated like a queen. That this was the time to learn how to be spoiled properly. Fine. If this was how he wanted to make up for the suffering she endured giving birth to their daughter, she’d give

Keira looked at Lena and smiled as she followed up on Hayden’s words. "You’re family. It’s different." Lena shot her a subtle glare before stuffing the red envelope into her pocket and saying, "Give me the rest. I’ll hand them out for you later." Hayden passed her the prepared stack of red envelopes, and as she took them, she asked, "What about the other departments?" Hayden and Aaron exchanged a glance and chuckled. "Of course. Every medical staff member in this hospital gets one." "President Hart, you’re too generous," Lena said, giving him a thumbs-up. With that, she took the envelopes and left. Aaron glanced at the time. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back now." "Mm. Happy New Year!" Hayden said, offering his holiday wishes. "Happy New Year to your whole family," Aaron replied, adding a few extra words that made both Hayden and me instinctively turn toward the baby in the bassinet. From today onward, we were officially a family of three. Outside the h
Love's Redemption Chapter 1006
When Keira returned to the hospital room, she was greeted by a sight that made her pause. The room was decorated with fresh flowers and balloons, and beside her bed, there was a small cart filled with various gift boxes. The atmosphere was so festive that if someone walked in, they might have thought it was a birthday party rather than a postpartum recovery room. "What’s all this?" Lena asked on Keira's behalf. "A reward for my wife," Hayden answered, his hand still holding Keira's as he gazed at her with deep affection. "She went through so much. This is my way of thanking her." Keira smiled faintly. "I don’t need any of this." "Whether you need it or not is one thing. Giving it to you is my choice," Hayden said, pressing a kiss onto Keira's fingertips. "Even if everything I have already belongs to you, I still want to give you more." "Such a loving husband—honestly, what more could a woman ask for?" Lena teased before patting Keira's hospital bed. "But if President Hart r
Love's Redemption Chapter 1005
Elder Mitchell wasn’t buying it. "That just means you guys didn’t really want to give anything. If you truly wanted to, there’s no such thing as a gift that can’t be delivered." The two old men started bickering again, but Hayden ignored them. Instead, he kept his eyes on the infant bathing room. Before long, the nurse finished bathing the baby and carried her out. Hayden reached out to take her, but the two elders immediately moved to get closer. He blocked them without hesitation. "Don’t you know old people’s eyes are toxic? You shouldn’t be staring at her for too long." Elder Hart: "…" Elder Mitchell: "…" With that, Hayden carried the baby and walked away. The two old men trailed after him, hoping to catch another glimpse, but Hayden wasn’t about to give them the chance. "Congratulations," Aaron, who had been standing nearby, offered his well wishes. "It’s a daughter. Take a look," Hayden said, his pride practically radiating off him. Aaron lowered his gaze to the
