Love's Redemption Chapter 733
Even though Lena and I had been friends forever, this was the first time I'd heard her talk about a childbirth case—especially one with such a heartbreaking ending. Hearing her recount it left this heavy, sinking feeling in my chest.It made sense now why she avoided talking about work. But still, imagining what that family was going through—losing both the mom and the baby—was gut-wrenching.Even so, it wasn't Lena's fault. I knew her too well. She respected life in a way most people didn't. If there was even the tiniest chance to save someone, she'd fight for it."So, what you're saying is the surgeon didn't screw up?" I asked."Exactly," Lena said, sighing. "But that doesn't matter. Someone died, and the family can't accept it. They keep saying everything was fine until she came here—like it's our fault she's gone." Her voice wavered, frustration and sadness written all over her face.I'd read about situations like this. These so-called "medical disputes" could ruin careers."

"Just passing by." Aaron's words stuck in Lena's head like a bad pop song.Passing by? In OB-GYN department? What kind of grown man randomly "passes by" here unless there's a reason?And, of course, there was only one explanation: his girlfriend. She had to be here for an appointment or something.It made sense. Aaron was in his prime—tall, polished, and attractive in that effortless way that made women swoon.Back in school, Lena had been his unofficial love-letter courier, collecting stacks of notes from all his admirers. Now, with age and a whole new level of sophistication, he was probably even more of a heartbreaker.Meanwhile, the aftermath of the department's recent drama wasn't dying down. The patient's family had posted a video, and it blew up online, even reaching Lena's parents.Her dad called, his tone full of concern. "Lena, we saw that video about your department. You weren't involved, were you?""Dad, Mom, I'm fine," Lena assured her parents quickly."You sure? I

Sasha sobbed so hard I could barely understand her. "I took Nina to the mall after kindergarten," she choked out. "She was right next to me while I was shopping, but I got a phone call. When I turned around, she was gone."I frowned. "If it happened in the mall, didn't they check the security cameras?""They did," she hiccupped. "They showed her running after someone. Someone who looked exactly like you."I let out a bitter laugh. "Yeah, no. I've been in the hospital for days. Haven't even stepped near a mall.""I know," Sasha mumbled. "I saw the footage. It's not you—it's just... someone who looks like you. Nina must've thought it was you and followed them."Perfect. Trouble finds me even when I'm doing nothing but breathing.Still, her words left me uneasy. A Keira look-alike just happens to show up in front of Nina? Was it random—or intentional?"Keira," Sasha begged, "do you have anyone in your life who could look like you? Relatives? Friends? Anyone?"I'm an orphan—what re

The cops hadn't shown up yet, but Cole did.Ever since Thorsten stepped back into his shadow-boss role, Cole had been the public face of the Drago family, handling all the messy PR. And, apparently, me."Where's Nina?" he demanded, skipping any kind of small talk.Sasha had already said the figure just resembled me, but Cole? He sounded like he was 100 percent sure it was me. Whether he genuinely couldn't tell the difference or was just faking it, I couldn't say."I don't know, and it's got nothing to do with me," I shot back."If I'm here, it's for a reason. If it's money you want, that can be arranged—just hand her over," he said, like I was some cash-hungry gold digger.I raised an eyebrow. I guess that's all he thought of me. People loved to assume my current assets were just leftovers from my breakup with Jace. The internet had a field day calling me a sellout who treated relationships like transactions."What do you want her for?" I asked, brushing off the insult and leani

Cole's expression didn't budge. "That's something only you can answer."It was obvious he suspected I had some role in this, but he was still in the dark about the motives behind it. Probably because he and Wayne were on the same "team" yet couldn't trust each other for a second.Classic Cole—he was the kind of guy who'd pull strings from the shadows, even framing Wayne for Hayden's car accident while keeping his own hands clean."Maybe someone just hated me and wanted to stir the pot." I smirked.Cole could tell I wasn't being truthful.He nodded. "Then think about anyone you've got a grudge against. Let me know if something clicks—I'll handle the rest.""Sure," I replied breezily.He stood up, and just as he was leaving, he threw out a casual remark. "Nina's never had to suffer before. Wonder how she's holding up now?"The image of Nina flashed through my mind, and before I could stop myself, I asked, "Are you okay with having a sister like her?""Of course. She's adorable,"

Hayden bopped me on the nose—twice. "Can't you just, I don't know, play dumb for once?"I gave him a hard no, shaking my head. "Don't dodge. Spill the truth."Before I could shake my head off my shoulders, he cupped my face, steadying me. "Stop. You'll make yourself dizzy.""Then stop stalling and give me the real reason," I shot back, locking eyes with him.Here's the thing about Hayden: when he lies, his eyes go flat, like a bad lightbulb. Back when he told me he didn't love me? Yeah, totally missed it then. But now? Not a chance."You've figured out who was behind the car crash, haven't you?" he asked, casually brushing my lashes.So, he did know."Your lashes are so long. Just like when you were a kid," he added, clearly trying to derail me.Cute, but not happening. I pushed forward. "So basically, you got hurt on purpose. It was all for Cole, wasn't it?""Mm," he admitted. "I couldn't let Cole think I wasn't the real Xander.""Wayne already knows," I countered. But then

History has this way of always putting women on the losing side.Back in ancient times, they were traded like cattle in arranged marriages. During wars, they were used as sex slaves. And now? They're treated like commodities in some sick, transactional game.The injustice lit a fire inside me. "Xander's supposed to be a male model, right? Do they only pick 'premium' guys too?"Hayden nodded. "Yeah. Men and women—they only go for the best of the best."Suddenly, it all clicked. Hayden couldn't let Cole figure out he was impersonating Xander. DracoLux wasn't just some seedy club; it was the biggest trafficking hub around. If Cole knew the truth, Hayden would lose his shot at taking the whole operation down."But Wayne knows who you really are. Why hasn't he ratted you out to Cole? Isn't he scared of the fallout?" I asked, still puzzled."Wayne's smart. Even though he's involved, there's no direct evidence tying him to DracoLux. He's protected himself from any blowback. And..." His

I didn't get my answer. Why? Because I got hauled off by the police.Yep, you heard that right—I was detained.Now, I'm no legal expert, but I'm pretty sure suspects in an investigation aren't supposed to end up locked in a cell. Which meant one thing: this had Hayden written all over it.He'd warned me this might happen, so I wasn't exactly freaking out. If anything, I stayed calm, knowing this was probably his version of "keeping me safe."The first visitor? My boss, of course. Ron didn't waste a second before cracking a joke. "Keira Kay, maybe the police should just take over your paycheck this month."Thinking about how little I'd been showing up at work lately, guilt crept in even before Ron made his snarky comment. "Fine. Consider this my verbal resignation. I'll make it official when I'm out of here."Ron waved me off. "I didn't come here to make you quit. Don't overthink it."I smiled faintly. "I know, but let's be real—if I were the boss, I'd have fired me weeks ago."

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.
Love's Redemption Chapter 921
"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
Love's Redemption Chapter 916
"I don't know them!" Lena shook her head. Was she joking? Keira pinched her lightly and looped her arm through hers as they continued walking inside. Lena began, "I heard some gossip from my colleagues, something about the Mitchell family of Windy City." "Let’s hear it," Keira said, strolling leisurely alongside her. Meanwhile, Hayden had already marched ahead, carrying the luggage into the hall. He was always efficient and precise, a trait ingrained in his very being from his military days. It showed in his every move, even in his stride. "A while back, the only legitimate heir of the Mitchell family in Windy City had an accident. Apparently, he fell from something high, hit his head, and ended up as a vegetable," she said. Keira had already heard Hayden mention this earlier. "That’s it?" she pouted dismissively. Lena huffed. "There’s more." "The Mitchell family has spared no expense trying to treat him. They’ve consulted every expert in the country, flown in wave afte
Love's Redemption Chapter 915
Hayden took out his phone and made a call. “There’s a car tailing me and my wife. Find out their identity, but make sure they don’t realize we’re onto them,” he instructed. “Why don’t you want them to know we’ve noticed?” Keira asked, puzzled. “Don’t startle the snake. If they really have ulterior motives, taking care of this group might just bring another wave,” Hayden explained. His reasoning made sense, and Keira nodded in understanding. They picked up Lena’s suitcase and were on their way to deliver it when the car behind them got rear-ended. They stopped to check, and Hayden received a message—a series of photos and some information. “Windy City… the Mitchell family?” Hayden muttered under his breath. Keira leaned over to look at the photos. One showed the driver partially visible, cautiously keeping the car windows barely open. The backseat passenger was only captured in silhouette. But Hayden’s people were well-prepared and used high-definition cameras, managing to cap
