Chapter 1898

Author: Faith Shaw
“What's that supposed to mean, Hunter? Don’t tell me you’re…” Caleb pointed an accusing finger at Hunter, his voice laced with disbelief.

Over the years, Caleb had always treated Hunter as a brother. Their banter, even the occasional rumors, had never made him think twice. But now, with Hunter’s words and demeanor, Caleb couldn’t help but feel a hint of suspicion.

Before he could finish his thought, Hunter slapped Caleb’s hand away, rolling his eyes. “What kind of nonsense are you spouting now?”

Caleb’s frustration boiled over. “What nonsense? I already told you, I don’t want my dad meddling in my life any more than he already has. And here you are, making things worse! Do you have a death wish or something?”

Hunter smirked, unbothered. “What’s the big deal? If the situation escalates, then nobody’s going to try setting you up anymore. Problem solved. If we go down, I’ll go down with you. That’s what brothers are for, right?”

Caleb’s glare darkened, his patience wearing thin. “You

    Caleb’s disdain was obvious, but compared to the dire situation Vera's family was facing, his scorn was nothing. Vera had already made up her mind—wherever Caleb went, she would follow. After all, Caleb’s father had made it clear—if she could win Caleb over, she would have free access to the Smith family’s resources. More than that, Caleb’s father promised her unconditional support. Caleb never expected this. No matter how harshly he spoke, this woman still insisted on staying by his side! His expression darkened. “What kind of deal did you strike with my father? Let me give you some advice—you’d better come clean before I investigate.” If Caleb wanted to dig into something, uncovering the truth would be effortless. Rather than waiting for Caleb to investigate, Vera figured it was better to lay everything out herself. “My family is facing some challenges,” she admitted. “And your father just happened to be looking for a suitable match for you. That’s when I stepped up

    Luna noticed Caleb, but the one to greet him was Simon. Caleb didn’t respond. His lips pressed into a thin line as his gaze fell on Luna, noticing the faint chill in her eyes as she looked at him. Hunter chuckled lightly. “If we’re all acquaintances, why don’t we set up a gathering and hang out together?” Hunter seemed amused by the situation. This self-proclaimed fiancée of Caleb’s was intriguing, and with more people, things might loosen up and get interesting. Unexpectedly, Caleb replied sternly, “There’s no point. We’re not on the same wavelength. We can’t even find common ground to have fun.” Without waiting for a response, Caleb grabbed Vera’s hand and turned to leave. If not for Luna’s presence, Caleb wouldn’t have touched Vera, let alone held her hand. But seeing Luna’s cold demeanor as she stood beside Simon in a place like this, it was obvious what she was thinking. She believed he was following her on purpose. Why should he let her think so little of him?

    Caleb only escorted Vera to the entrance of the club before stopping. “I’m not interested in you. Don’t follow me,” he stated bluntly. “If it’s money you’re after, there are plenty of ways to earn it without doing this.” Knowing that Luna and Simon were also inside, Caleb had no intention of lingering at this club any longer. To his surprise, Vera followed closely behind him. He turned, irritation flashing in his eyes. “Don’t you have anywhere else to go?” “Your father gave me one task—to stay close to you and win you over,” she replied firmly, her tone leaving no room for negotiation. Her meaning was clear: she wouldn’t leave until her mission was complete. With her head bowed, Caleb couldn’t see her expression, but her unwavering tone was enough to leave him momentarily speechless. “How much money are you short of that you’d stoop to this?” he asked, unable to hide his disbelief. They’d had no prior interactions, yet now Vera clung to him as though her life

    Caleb couldn’t bring himself to violate his professional ethics, let alone lead by example in doing so.“There’s no need for any agreements,” Caleb said firmly. “I don’t intend to turn this into a transactional relationship. You’re still young, and you can take your time dealing with your debts.”With that, Caleb turned to leave. But Vera continued to follow him. “There’s no time to take it slow. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here in front of you. Uncle Smith and my dad were the best of friends, but under the current circumstances, whatever help he can offer is barely a drop in the bucket. However, if I follow Uncle Smith’s advice and win you over, everything will be different.”Caleb’s father wanted him to settle down, marry, and have a family. If Vera became his wife, it would naturally secure her father’s support and resources. “I don’t even have money to go home…” Vera murmured from behind him. Her voice was so soft, it was barely audible, but Caleb heard her clearly. He

    “Why don’t you go find my dad if you made the deal with him?” Caleb said coldly. “My mom’s gone. If you—”“What are you talking about?” Vera interrupted, her voice tinged with disbelief. She couldn’t believe Caleb could say something so cutting. But then again, they had no relationship to speak of. Caleb was free to say whatever he wanted. Her throat tightened, and a wave of bitterness washed over her. Caleb truly was her only hope. “Your father approached me because he wanted me to win you over, to change you,” Vera said firmly. “Right now, I have no other choice. We could just pretend to be a couple. If your dad insists on a marriage, we can cross that bridge later. What do you think?” “Make way!” Before Caleb could respond, a sharp voice called out from behind. Someone was rushing past in a hurry. Vera instinctively tried to move aside, but the person barreled straight into her. She couldn’t avoid it and stumbled violently to the side. She braced herself

    Caleb had mentioned taking Vera back to the hospital. Even though she was the one driving, that should have been their destination. But instead, she brought him to his villa. This clearly showed she had done her homework on him. Vera pressed her lips together. “Since you asked me to drive, I figured I’d drop you off at your place first.” “Is that so?” Caleb scoffed, a mocking smile playing on his lips. “And after you drop me off, how are you planning to get back?” As he spoke, he leaned closer to her. Vera instinctively leaned away, uncomfortable with the sudden proximity. She had never been in such close contact with a man before, and her intentions truly were as simple as dropping him off—nothing more. But Caleb didn’t believe her. He grabbed her shoulder with one hand, his grip firm. “I’m asking you a question. Why aren’t you answering?” Vera knew avoiding the question wouldn’t work with him. He wasn’t the type to let things slide. “If I didn’t drop you off, h

    Inside the hotel room, the place was a mess. Nina Walker woke up, her entire body sore and achy. She rubbed her temples, preparing to rise, and glanced at the tall figure lying next to her. His strikingly handsome face boasted sharply defined features and deep-set eyes. He remained sound asleep, showing no signs of waking.Nina sat up, the sheets slipping off, revealing faint marks on her fair, sensual shoulders. She got out of bed, bloodstains clearly visible on the sheets.Glancing at the time, realizing she was almost late for work, she grabbed her scattered professional attire from the floor and changed into it. Her stockings were already torn by him. She balled them up and tossed them into the trash, slipping on her high heels. There was a knock at the door. Nina was already neatly dressed, back in her role as an efficient secretary, holding her purse as she headed out. Entering was a pure-looking beauty. Nina had called her. The type that Nash York liked. Nina said, "You ju

    Upon hearing the voice, Nina's face jolted with surprise, nearly stumbling.With her balance faltering, her body leaned towards him. Nash felt her body tilting and reached out to steady her by the waist. The scorching warmth instantly reminded her of the scene from last night when he ravaged her recklessly.Nina composed herself, lifting her head to meet his deep gaze. His eyes were too serious, containing both questioning and doubt, as if trying to see through her with just one look. Nina's heart raced rapidly. She dared not hold his gaze for another second, instinctively lowering her head.When he assumed it was the woman from earlier, he flew into a rage. If he were to discover it was her, her fate wouldn't be any better. Yet, she couldn't accept it. If Nash knew it was her, could their marriage last a little longer? She dared not meet his eyes. "Why would you ask such a thing?" Only she knew she was hoping for it.However, Nash chuckled lightly. "You don't have the courage."

    Luna's expression turned cold, her voice carrying a hint of disappointment. “Caleb, how can you say that? You confessed to me, you proposed, and I’ve always been clear in rejecting you. I’ve never strung you along.”Her words stunned Caleb. If it had been before, her disappointed tone would have stopped him in his tracks. “You’re right. You’ve always rejected me,” he admitted, his voice steady. “But you’ve also kept me close, leaned on me when you needed someone, knowing I would drop everything for you. I did it because I cared for you.” Caleb’s eyes softened for a brief moment before hardening with resolve. “Luna, now that Simon’s back, you should focus on him. You two deserve to figure things out. As for Terry, just follow the advice I gave you—make his final days as peaceful as possible.” Without waiting for her response, Caleb turned and left, his steps steady but heavy. If Simon hadn’t returned, Caleb might have convinced himself to keep waiting, to stay in Luna’s orb

    “Terry has been with me for so long. He’s like family to me. I can’t imagine life without him,” Luna Gibson said through her tears, her sorrow overwhelming. Caleb crouched in front of her, his lips pressing into a thin line before he spoke in a hoarse voice. “I’ll help you take care of Terry. Luna, marry me. That man—he’s not coming back.” For years, Caleb had stood by Luna’s side. She had been his senior during their university days, and he had fallen for her instantly. But Luna’s heart belonged to someone else—a man she had loved for as long as Caleb could remember. He had proposed to her several times over the years, always waiting, always hoping. Luna stared at him, stunned. She hadn’t expected Caleb to still hold on after all this time. Caleb’s dark eyes reflected her image as he gazed at her silently. His unwavering sincerity was unmistakable, and while others might not have seen it, Luna knew it better than anyone. Just as she parted her lips to respond, her ph
