Chapter 28 (you can't run from me)

Olivia's POV.

After leaving the office, and strolling home. I couldn't seem to shake the feeling as I walked down the street. The cool night air did little to calm my nerves.

My mind was still reeling from everything that had happened at the office. The scene kept replaying over and over in my mind, like a broken record.

The way Leonardo's father had stormed in, his anger so palpable that it nearly suffocated the space between us.

I could still feel the heat of his gaze on me, the disgust in his voice when he saw what was happening.

How had I let myself get caught up in this? My chest tightened as I recalled the sting of embarrassment. How could I have been so reckless?

My heart was still pounding in my ears when I stopped at a street corner, hesitating between two options-should I go home and face whatever awaited me, or should I keep walking to clear my head? I considered the first option for a moment, but then quickly dismissed it.

    Chapter 29: BrokenOlivia's POVThe world was a haze of pain and darkness as I blinked my swollen eyes open. The gritty asphalt beneath me scraped against my raw skin, and the metallic tang of blood lingered in my mouth. My cheek throbbed, my ribs screamed with every shallow breath, and the faint metallic tang of blood lingered on my tongue. I felt like my body wasn't my own anymore, just a collection of aches and bruises.But worse than the pain was the humiliation.Derek's laugh echoed in my head, cruel and mocking. His words cut deeper than his fists ever could. "You think you can escape me?"My fingers curled into the loose gravel beneath me as I tried to push myself up. My arms trembled, the effort monumental. A sharp pain shot through my ribs, and I collapsed back onto the ground, gasping for air.I couldn't stay here. Not like this. Not broken.The street was quiet, deserted except for the dim glow of the streetlights. No one had come to help. No one had even heard me scre

    Chapter 30: Vengeance in the ShadowsLeonardo's POVThe drive back to my penthouse was a blur. My grip on the steering wheel was so tight my knuckles turned white, and my jaw ached from clenching. Every time I blinked, I saw Olivia's battered face-the bruises, the split lip, the fear in her eyes.Derek.His name alone filled me with rage so consuming I could barely see straight. How dare he touch her? How dare he think he could get away with it?I parked haphazardly, not caring that my car was askew in the designated spot. My mind was already planning my next move. This wasn't just about Olivia anymore-this was about sending a message. No one, no one, crossed me and walked away unscathed.Inside the penthouse, I went straight to the liquor cabinet and poured myself a drink. The burn of whiskey down my throat did little to calm me, but it gave me a moment to think. I pulled out my phone and dialed."Matteo," I barked when he answered. "I need information on Derek Lawson. Everything.

It illuminated every corner of my small apartment, highlighting the bruises and cuts on my body I was trying to ignore. I pulled the blanket tighter around me, wishing I could melt into the couch and disappear.Last night had been a blur-Leonardo's anger, his promise to protect me, and the overwhelming guilt I felt for dragging him into my mess.You didn't drag him in. He wanted to help.The thought was faint, but I couldn't let myself believe it completely. I was used to handling things on my own. It wasn't always pretty, but it kept people at a safe distance.My phone buzzed on the table, startling me. I reached for it with trembling hands and saw Leonardo's name flashing on the screen.I hesitated. Talking to him felt like admitting how weak I'd been, how much I'd let Derek break me. But the phone kept buzzing, and eventually, I swiped to answer."Olivia," Leonardo said, his voice

Normally, I could fake interest well enough to get through these sessions, but today, my mind was elsewhere. I tapped my pen against the table, thinking about Olivia.Her bruises haunted me. The fear in her eyes when she answered the door. The way she tried to act like she was okay, even though it was clear she wasn't.Someone cleared their throat, snapping me out of my thoughts."Mr. Leonardo," one of the board members said, giving me a pointed look. "Your thoughts on the proposed expansion?""It's fine," I said dismissively. "Move forward with it."They exchanged glances but didn't press me further. I stood, adjusting my tie. "That's enough for today. Send me the finalized proposal."Before anyone could protest, I walked out of the room.My phone buzzed as I stepped into the elevator. It was a text from Matteo.> Derek's keeping a low profile.

Inside was my resignation letter, neatly typed and signed, ready to be handed in.I stared at it for what felt like hours, the weight of the decision pressing down on me. My thoughts circled endlessly. Was I being impulsive? Or was this the only way to regain control of my life?After everything that happened with Derek, I couldn't shake the feeling that I no longer belonged here. The bruises on my face had faded slightly, but the invisible scars were deeper.And then there was Leonardo.His concern, his protectiveness-it was suffocating. I couldn't rely on him. Not like this. I had to leave before things became more complicated. Before I let myself believe he'd stay.You're doing the right thing, I told myself.I folded the envelope in half and slipped it into my bag.

    Chapter 34: In CourtOlivia's POV.My mind drifted back to when I stared at the letter in my trembling hands, the one that carried the weight of my decision to leave Leonardo's company for good. My heart pounded, a mix of relief and regret flooding me. Relief because I was finally standing up for myself. Regret because leaving meant severing ties-not just with the job but with the memories, both good and bad. I heaved a sigh of relief as I handed in my resignation letter to HR.I went to my desk and started gathering my belongings. It felt so surreal. The desk where I had spent countless hours working on projects, enduring the whispers of colleagues, and stealing glances at Leonardo now seemed foreign. As I packed the last of my things into a box, I took a deep breath, forcing myself to focus on what lay ahead: meeting Derek. As much as I dreaded it, I didn't know why I still agreed to meet him.The thought of him made my stomach churn. Derek, the stepbrother who had crossed ev

Panic briefly seized me-where was I? What had happened?Then, I saw him.Derek sat at the edge of a chair beside my bed, his lips curled into a smile that sent a shiver down my spine. "You're finally awake, sis," he said, his voice dripping with mock concern.I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness forced me back onto the pillows. "What... what am I doing here?" I managed to croak, my throat dry and scratchy.Derek leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "You fainted. They brought you here. Lucky for you, I was around to make sure you were taken care of.""You should leave, Derek." I said without glancing in his direction."That's no way to talk to your brother, I stayed here only to make sure you're okay" he said ra

    Chapter 36: GoodbyeLeonardo's POVThe silence that followed the abrupt end of Olivia's call gnawed at me. I stared at my phone, the blank screen mocking me as questions swirled in my head. Why had she called if she had nothing to say? Was she in trouble? Hurt? Or was this her way of telling me something without words?I tossed my phone onto the desk and ran my hands through my hair, frustration building with every passing second. Something wasn't right, and every fiber of my being screamed at me to do something. I grabbed my phone again and dialed Matteo's number."Matteo," I said the moment he picked up."Yes, sir," came his sharp response, ever professional and efficient."I need you to find Olivia. Right now." My voice was clipped, laced with urgency. "Figure out where she is and whether she's in any kind of trouble. I don't care what it takes-just find out everything.""Understood. I'll call you back shortly."The call ended, leaving me in an agonizing silence. My office sudde

Lily's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.I turned to find her standing by the back door, already in her sneakers, her backpack slung over her shoulder as though she was ready for an adventure."Did you finish your chores first?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.Lily made a face but nodded. "Yes, Mommy. I made my bed, and I put away my books."I smiled. "Alright, go ahead. But make sure to stay close, okay?"She grinned and ran outside, her blonde hair streaming behind her. Ethan, who had been playing with his toy cars on the floor, looked up at me."Mommy, can I go outside too?"I knelt down to his level, brushing a stray curl from his face. "After breakfast, sweetie."He pouted but nodded, his little lips pulling into a tight line as he held up his toy truck.I went back to the kitchen, turning off the stove and preparing to set the table. Just as I placed the last plate down, I felt a pair of strong arms wrap

I stood by the kitchen sink, watching through the window as Leonardo played outside with our daughter. Their laughter echoed in the crisp air, blending with the rustling of leaves.She sat perched on his shoulders, her tiny hands gripping his hair as he ran in circles, pretending to be a horse.“Faster, Daddy!” she squealed.Leonardo groaned dramatically. “Princess, Daddy is getting old.”She giggled, tapping his head. “No, you’re not! You’re strong like a superhero!”I smiled, my heart swelling.This was our life now. Simple, filled with love.No more running. No more looking over our shoulders.

The morning sunlight filtered through the windows, casting a golden glow over the wooden floors. The air smelled of fresh coffee and something sweet—pancakes, maybe.I followed the scent, my heart warming at the sight before me.Leonardo stood at the stove, shirtless, wearing only loose pajama pants. His dark hair was still tousled from sleep, and the muscles in his back flexed as he flipped a pancake with effortless ease. But what made me smile the most was the little girl sitting on the counter beside him, her tiny hands clapping together as she watched her father cook."Again, Daddy!" she giggled.Leonardo grinned and spun the spatula between his fingers before tossing the pancake into the air. It flipped twice before landing perfectly back in the pan."Like that, princess?" he asked.She nodded enthusiastically, her brown cur

    Chapter 156: EpilogueOlivia’s POVThe mountain air was crisp as I stood on the wooden balcony, gazing at the endless stretch of pine trees below. The sun had just dipped behind the peaks, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. The wind whispered through the branches, carrying with it the clean scent of rain and earth.It was quiet here. Peaceful.Safe.For the first time in months, I could breathe without fear coiling around my throat. The Russo family was gone. Matteo Russo was dead. The house, the network, the legacy—destroyed. Harris had confirmed it with photos and reports. There was no one left to hunt us. No shadows lurking behind cameras. No footsteps echoing in the night.Leonardo stepped onto the balcony beside me, two mugs of coffee in hand. He handed me one, then wrapped his free arm around my waist, pulling me into his warmth."Thinking again?" he asked softly.I leaned against him, feeling his steady heartbeat through his sweater. "Always."He kissed the top

    Final Chapter(155)Leonardo’s POVThe sharp sound of footsteps echoed through the stairwell as Olivia and I sprinted toward the exit. Smoke burned my throat, and every muscle in my body screamed for rest, but we couldn’t stop. Not now. Not with Matteo Russo closing in.We reached the ground floor and burst through the emergency exit into the alley. The cold night air hit me like a slap. I scanned the shadows for movement, gun raised. Olivia stood beside me, her eyes wide and wild.The phone in my pocket buzzed again.Another message.“You can’t run forever.”I gritted my teeth and shoved the phone back into my jacket. "He’s playing with us," I muttered.Olivia’s voice shook. "He’s just a kid, Leonardo.""No," I said, scanning the rooftops. "He stopped being a kid the moment Victor put a gun in his hand."She hugged herself, shivering. I placed a hand on her arm, grounding her. "We end this tonight.""How?" she asked.I didn’t have an answer.The phone buzzed again.I hesitated, then

    Chapter 154Olivia’s POVThe smell of smoke lingered in the air as I stood beside Leonardo, staring at the burning ruins of the Russo compound. The flames crackled, devouring the walls, the floors—everything Matteo Russo had built to continue his father’s legacy.But the weight in my chest wouldn’t lift. The fire might’ve destroyed the compound, but the memories remained. The sight of Matteo’s small body hitting the floor haunted me. His lifeless eyes. The blood spreading across his shirt.He’d been just a boy. A boy raised to hate, to kill, to continue the twisted family tradition. And Leonardo had been forced to pull the trigger."Olivia," Leonardo said softly, his voice pulling me from my thoughts.I blinked, realizing I’d been clutching my arms so tightly that my nails had dug into my skin. I loosened my grip. "Yeah?""We need to go. The police will be here soon."I gave a shaky nod.Leonardo took my hand, guiding me toward the car parked beyond the tree line. The headlights wer

Olivia sat beside me, her eyes locked on the image as though it might come to life. My own thoughts churned like a storm, each one darker than the last.Victor Russo had a son. An heir. A child born into a legacy of violence and manipulation."We didn’t know," Olivia whispered, voice trembling. "We thought we ended the family."I ran a hand down my face, exhaustion pressing against my skull. "Victor always had contingency plans. We underestimated him.""But how?" she asked. "We dug into every aspect of his life. There was nothing about a kid.""Because he wanted it that way." I stood and paced the length of the living room. "Victor was always obsessed with bloodlines. Family. Legacy. Of course, he’d hide a child until he was ready to use him."Olivia rubbed her arms. "He looked so...calm. That boy at the door. Like he wasn’t scared at all.""

"Did...we win?"I glanced at Victor’s body. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling."Yeah," I said. "We won."Harris’s team arrived within minutes. They removed the bomb and secured the mansion. Harris, bruised but breathing, sat on the porch while medics checked his vitals.Olivia and I stood nearby, watching the sunrise paint the sky in soft oranges and pinks."It’s really over," she whispered.I wrapped my arm around her.

    Chapter 151:Leonardo’s POVThe headlights sliced through the dark as I sped away from the cemetery, my knuckles white against the steering wheel. Olivia sat beside me, silent, her body rigid with fear. The message on my phone echoed in my mind:“The devil doesn’t die.”Victor Russo was alive. Or someone who looked and sounded exactly like him.I didn’t believe in ghosts. But I knew the Russos were capable of almost anything. Victor had faked his death once already. Why not twice?"Leonardo," Olivia said softly.I glanced at her, her face pale in the dim light. "Yeah?""How...how is this possible?" Her voice cracked. "We saw his body. We saw the coroner’s report."I didn’t have an answer. I’d held Victor’s cold wrist to check for a pulse that day. I’d seen the bullet hole in his forehead. But tonight...I’d seen him standing beneath the trees, breathing, smiling."We’re missing something," I said finally. "Something big."She hugged herself. "What if it really was him?"I gritted my t
