Love's Redemption Chapter 823
I rolled my eyes so hard they almost got stuck. Hayden really had way too much time on his hands. Decorating an urn and stashing a data sync device in a jewelry box? Was this some kind of cosmic joke?Then again, maybe he'd done it to throw people off—make them think it was just a random trinket and not something insanely valuable."What the hell is this?" Cole snapped, reaching for the box.I smacked his hand away. "Chill, Drago. What's the rush? Don't you afraid there's a scorpion inside or something?"He gave me an annoyed side-eye. "Just open it already. Hayden's brain must be a circus to come up with this nonsense."Ignoring him, I pulled the tiny red box from its fluffy nest of white feathers.It was way too light. No way it held the device.Still, I flipped it open—and, of course, my eyes nearly popped out of my head."A ring?" Cole said, his voice somewhere between disbelief and irritation.Yup. A diamond ring. And judging by the size of that rock, it could probably pa

He'd do it.But what could I possibly give him when I had nothing?"Well, stop wasting time and bury me already," I said, sounding almost bored. Fear wasn't something I felt anymore—not after everything I'd been through."Cole, you've seen it yourself—there's nothing here," I added, my voice steady. "Hayden told me he left something in this spot, and that's why I kept quiet. But guess what? He fooled me too." I let out a bitter laugh, hoping it sounded convincing.This was my only shot—to make Cole believe Hayden had played me, just like everyone else. If he bought it, maybe he'd stop digging and forget about Yara entirely."Don't try that crap on me," Cole snapped, narrowing his eyes. "You two are cunning. I know you're hiding something."One of his goons cut in hesitantly. "Uh, sir? Maybe we should keep digging? Could be deeper."I rolled my eyes. Genius idea."Then get moving!" Cole barked, yanking me closer to the grave as his men started digging again.They kept at it, go

Cole yanked his arm back, keeping the ring just out of reach. His longer arms made it impossible for me to grab it."You're so attached to this ring—don't tell me it's special," he said, squinting at it as he flipped it over and over in his hand."Maybe there's more to it..." he muttered."You're delusional," I snapped.But he ignored me, laser-focused on the ring. I was too tired to keep arguing—being pregnant had me running on fumes—and before I knew it, I'd drifted off into a deep, dreamless sleep.That is, until something soft brushed my face.Startled, I woke up to see Cole sitting there, his cat's tail swishing against my cheek.Of course. First foxtail grass, now a cat? Apparently, Cole had a thing for soft, fluffy things.People like that? Deep down, they're usually just desperate for a little love.His smug grin didn't help. "You slept like a baby. Didn't even flinch. Guess you trust me, huh? Not worried I'll sell you off?""You're keeping me alive because I'm useful

Yara crossed her arms. "Even me, huh? What's next, locking up the family cat? Aren't you even a little worried about karma?"Apparently, Cole had decided to throw her under house arrest with me.Honestly, I wasn't shocked—just a little meh about it. This was Cole, the guy who'd literally set his own mom on fire for power. Compassion? Not in his vocabulary.Jace just stood there like a bored spectator. Whether it was at the funeral or now, he felt like a completely different person."Aunt Yara, you're one of Hayden's people. Right now, anyone tied to him could be a liability. I'm just keeping all my pawns in one place, ready to play." His tone was all smug.Then he side-eyed Jace. "Right, Jace? Back me up here."Jace ignored him completely, looking straight at me instead. "You okay?""Fine," I said, but my worry got the better of me. "Any news about Lena? Has Mr. Ace done anything?"I knew it was dumb to ask with Cole right there, but I couldn't help it—I was too anxious."Aaro

Did Yara tag along with Jace just to make sure she could crash here?"I want the cream soup silky smooth. Oh, and remove the onions from the food after cooking—I like the taste, but I'm not eating them. And maybe—" I started listing my demands when Yara spun around, raising an eyebrow at me."Wow. Jace really spoiled you, huh?" she said, shaking her head. "You're so picky."She wasn't done. "And FYI, I'm not your personal chef. Don't want onions? Pick 'em out yourself." With that, she waltzed into the kitchen.Clearly, she was hinting at something, so I decided to follow—casually, of course. On the inside? I was dying to sprint. But if she was playing it cool, so would I.By the time I got to the kitchen, she was already prepping the ingredients, her knife skills surprisingly pro-level."Impressive," I said."It's called independence," she said, hitting me with a mini lecture. "Just because someone spoils you doesn't mean you can't handle yourself."Okay, point taken.But even

Breaking this ring off? Yeah, no. First, I had zero tools. Second, any noise would have Cole barging in faster than I could say "busted."Hayden had called this a data sync device, which meant it could send info wirelessly. So maybe my phone could pick up the signal? Worth a shot.I grabbed my phone, opened the wireless settings, and bingo—there it was: qqbb522. The last three digits? My birthday. I didn't even try to figure out what the letters meant. I just connected it immediately.When it asked for a password, I remembered the debit card pin Hayden gave me ages ago and added my birthdate digits at the end.My heart was pounding as the screen showed: Connecting...And then—connected!My blood practically fizzed with excitement. But before I could celebrate, my phone went haywire. The screen flashed like it had caught a virus, apps opening and closing on their own. Then, it went totally black.I froze.Great, had it been hacked?Panicking, I tapped the screen. Then fireworks

Yara was looking after me like I was her little sister or something, and honestly, I wasn't sure how to feel about it."What's wrong?" she teased when I hesitated with the glass of milk. "Worried I poisoned it? Want me to take the first sip?"I rolled my eyes but couldn't deny that Yara was genuinely kind. She'd nearly been engaged to Hayden, yet she'd never acted jealous or petty toward me.Honestly, it didn't make sense. She must've had feelings for him—she'd even admitted to admiring him. And here she was, treating me like we were besties.I just couldn't figure her out."It's not that," I said, taking the milk. "I just feel bad for making you go out of your way."But Hayden's words were ringing in my head: [Give the ring to someone you trust most and have them hand it over to the police.]Could I trust Yara?Her lips quirked into a smile. "Just fulfilling a request."I froze. A request? From Hayden?"Alright," she said, stretching the word in a teasing tone, "I'll leave y

Seeing Yara so nervous and full of guilt, I couldn't help but feel bad.She was a proper, wealthy socialite, yet here she was, taking care of my meals and drinks—and I'd gone and played her like this.But I had no choice. I had to feign heartbreak and sadness to leave Yara flustered. Only then would she turn to Jace for advice. And if Jace knew I was upset, he'd definitely come here.Just as I'd expected, as soon as I went upstairs, I heard Yara on the phone with Jace."Jace, I messed up the task you gave me. Keira's upset—well, not exactly upset, but she started crying..."She recounted the situation, but I couldn't hear Jace's response. All I caught was Yara saying, "Alright, alright. Hurry up and get here."Hearing that, I let out a quiet sigh of relief and headed back to my room. Once inside, I lay on the bed and sent Yara a text:[Sorry, I lost control of my emotions earlier. I wasn't mad at you; I just started thinking about my parents.]She replied almost instantly: [It'

No girl could resist a gesture of kindness, especially when it came with a dessert. "Can I sit for a moment?" Keira asked the girl, seeking her permission even though this was her place. "Of course. You’re the owner here, right?" she replied, recognizing Keira immediately. Keira glanced down at her work apron, smiling lightly. "How did you guess? Is it written on my face?" "You look even better in person than in the photos," the girl said candidly, studying her with an open gaze. Keira gave her a puzzled look. "Hmm?" She pulled out her phone and opened a video. "This is how I found this place. It’s amazing." It turned out that a blogger had visited the café and shared a video and photos online. In his post, he wrote: The air here is soft; it calms your weary heart as you breathe it in. The leaves on the trees are alive, reminding you that every day has its colors. The coffee is bittersweet, much like life, and the owner is a stranger who genuinely cares. When she greets

The message Keira had asked Hayden to pass on was simple: "My father is no longer here. I will speak of his origins at his gravesite, and nothing more is needed." Over the years, only the Johnston family had given her warmth and familial love. She didn’t feel any attachment to the other so-called relatives, nor did she see a need to force a connection. Having gone through so much, Keira had come to understand that no matter how strong blood ties might be, they require companionship and nurturing to truly matter. - When Hayden returned, Keira was busy at the café. For some reason, business was particularly good today, with an unusually large crowd. Even the staff were struggling to keep up. "Quite a crowd today," Hayden remarked, sounding as puzzled as Keira felt. "Right? Look at this," she said, glancing at the full tables inside and outside the café. Her heart brimmed with satisfaction. Over the years, Keira had held high-ranking, well-paying positions, whether working f

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

"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
Love's Redemption Chapter 922
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
