3rd person POV

The hospital room was quiet except for the steady beeping of the machines. Vivian lay unconscious on the bed, her face pale, a white bandage covering the wound on her head. Max stood at the edge of the room, his hands in fists, watching as the doctors and nurses worked quickly to stabilize her.

“She’s stable for now,” The doctor said, checking her IV. “She needs rest and observation, but we’ve done all we can for the moment.”

Max barely heard the words. His gaze was locked on Vivian’s pale face, her chest rising and falling in shallow breaths. The gash on her temple had been cleaned and stitched, but the sight of the stark white bandage against her hair sent a surge of guilt surging through him.

How had it come to this? He had promised himself that he would protect her, that nothing and no one would ever harm her. Yet here she was, lying helpless in a hospital bed, because he hadn’t been fast enough—because he hadn’t seen the threat standing right in front of him.

The past few days had been a nightmare, but he hadn't even had time to grieve properly. His father had been Shot. And now, he was trying to make sense of everything.

He knew his father was a strong man and there was no way he could die so easily or so he thought.The autopsy report was supposed to give him answers. He had arranged everything carefully. A private request, away from prying eyes. His father deserved justice, and Max was determined to get it. But why was it taking so long?His phone buzzed on the desk, breaking his thoughts. He glanced at the screen. Ray. His trusted bodyguard. Max picked up immediately."Tell me you have good news," he said, rubbing his forehead.There was silence on the other end, and for

    3rd person POVMax stared at his phone screen, eyes burning from hours of research. His mind was a mess—his father’s body missing, Alexander using it as leverage, and now this_ It wasn’t Alexander at all. Someone else had taken his father. Someone else had planned this whole thing.Ray sat across from him, scrolling through his laptop, frustration written all over his face. “This doesn’t make sense Sir,” he muttered. “If Alexander doesn’t have your dad’s body, then who does? And why lie about it?”Max leaned back, rubbing his temples. “To control me perhaps,” he said bitterly. “To make me desperate enough to do whatever he wanted.”He had almost fallen for it. Almost believed Alexander had his father’s body and Vivian’s mother, forcing him into an impossible choice. But now, everything had changed.A notification popped up on his phone. An encrypted message. Max opened it quickly, his stomach twisting.The body is gone. No trace. Someone else took it. He was never in Alexander’s hands

    3rd person POV.Max sat in his study, staring at the flickering spark of the light in the room. His mind was heavy, different thoughts swinging in his mind like a web he couldn't escape. The discovery of his father's missing body had shaken him, but now, learning the reason behind his father's captivity filled him with cold fury.Stanford Hayes.Max clenched his jaw as he thought about the man. A fraud. A man who had been shrinking his father’s company. And Vivian had been the one to expose him.Max could still remember that day vividly. His father had taken Vivian to the company headquarters, and when she realized Stanford’s schemes alongside his cohorts, she hadn't hesitated to sack them, all of them. She had always been like that—brave, intelligent, unafraid to do what was right when it came to serious business.That day, Max had felt uneasy when she left with his father. Something inside him had warned him that it wasn’t safe. He had spoken up then and she declined and he had brus

    3rd person POVThe jet touched down in Zurich just before dawn. A thick fog blanketed the runway, making the city beyond it look eerie and unfamiliar. Max stepped off the aircraft, adjusting the cuffs of his coat as the cold air bit at his skin.Ray followed closely behind, scanning their surroundings with sharp eyes. He was always cautious, always prepared. Max appreciated that about him.Their car was already waiting. A sleek black SUV with tinted windows. The driver, one of Max’s trusted men, nodded silently as they climbed inside."Where to?" the driver asked."The hotel first," Max replied. "We need to regroup before heading to Stanford’s location."The vehicle pulled away from the airport, gliding through the quiet streets of Zurich. Max’s mind was restless. He had barely slept on the flight, his thoughts too occupied with that one man; Stanford Hayes.Max clenched his fists. He wouldn’t let it go unpunished. Soon they arrived at a 5- star hotel.The hotel suite was spacious, m

    Max sat in the back of the speeding SUV, his father leaning weakly against his shoulders. The older man’s breathing was labored, his face pale under the dim interior lights. Ray sat in the front seat, gun still in hand, eyes scanning the road ahead as their driver maneuvered through the empty streets. The air was tense, thick with the lingering weight of everything that was happening.Max couldn’t shake the image of his father tied to that chair, beaten and helpless. He had never seen him like that before, never seen the powerful Norman Lucas reduced to such a fragile state. The anger inside him simmered, cold and controlled. Stanford Hayes had crossed a line, and Max wasn’t going to let him get away with it.His father stirred, his voice weak but steady. “Max… you shouldn’t have come.” Max tightened his grip against his father's shoulders, steadying him. “You really thought I’d just leave you there?” His father gave a faint, tired smile. “It was dangerous.” Max exhaled sharply. “I

    3rd person POV3rd person POVMax stood outside the airport, the cold Zurich air sharp against his skin as he watched the private jet disappear into the sky. His father was safe, on his way home with Ray, but Max couldn’t shake the weight pressing on his chest. This wasn’t over. Not yet. He turned away, slipping his hands into the pockets of his coat as he walked towards the waiting car. It was a simple rental, nothing flashy, nothing that would draw attention. He climbed in, his mind already working through his next steps. Stanford Hayes thought he had won. He had set a trap, lured Max into it, and still lost. But a man like Stanford wouldn’t run. He was too arrogant, too convinced of his own power. No, he would try again. And this time, Max intended to make sure there was no escape.Driving through Zurich, Max kept his eyes on the road, but his mind was elsewhere. He had spent years building his own empire, learning to outthink his enemies before they even saw him coming. Stanford w

    3rd person POVWeeks laterThe moment Max stepped into Vivian’s hospital room, everything else disappeared. He had spent days in Zurich, dealing with chaos, fighting dark games and navigating the dangerous game Stanford had put him through. But none of it mattered now. The second he saw her—really saw her—everything inside him tightened. She was sitting up in bed, her long, dark hair cascading over her shoulders, her eyes wide and filled with something unspoken. Relief. Longing. Something deeper.“Max,” she breathed, her voice soft, almost disbelieving.He didn’t speak. He couldn’t. He crossed the room in two strides, his heart pounding as he cupped her face, tilting it up to meet his gaze. He had imagined this moment a thousand times, but nothing could prepare him for the way her lips parted, the way her breath caught as he traced his thumb along her jaw.“You’re back,” she whispered, her fingers curling around his wrist.“I told you I would be.” His voice was rough, thick with every

He was standing in the middle of his father’s study, the taste of Vivian still fresh on his lips, the weight of everything that had happened pressing on his shoulders. The events of the past few days had been nothing short of chaotic revelations, and the confrontation with Stanford Hayes that had left him both physically and emotionally drained. But now, as he stood in the dimly lit room, the world seemed to tilt on its axis. His mind struggled to keep up, struggling to understand the gravity of the phone call that had just shattered his reality.It was Ray on the other end, his voice tight with urgency, yet masked by a controlled calmness that Max could barely make sense of. “ Boss ” Ray said, his words slow, deliberate. “Vivian’s gone.”Max felt his stomach drop, the blood draining from his face. Gone. What did that mean? He tried to speak, but his mouth was dry, his throat

    The rain drummed lightly against the glass windows of a thp penthouse rhythmic whisper against the silence that had settled between them. Vivian stood by the fireplace, her arms crossed, her lips slightly parted as if she wanted to speak but couldn’t quite find the words.Max leaned against the back of the couch, his sharp blue eyes trained on her, unwavering, unreadable. He had removed his jacket, his white shirt unbuttoned at the top, revealing the strong lines of his chest. The firelight flickered against his skin, casting reflection that made him look more dangerous—more irresistible.“I hate it when you shut me out,” Vivian finally said, her voice quieter than she intended.Max exhaled, rubbing his fingers across his jaw. “I’m not shutting you out, sweetheart.” His voice was deep, rough, filled with an edge of restraint. “I just don’t know how to forget the sight of you crying over him.”Vivian sucked in a breath. She knew exactly what he meant. The image of her embracing Daniel

    Max stood at the edge of the terrace, the cool evening breeze tousling his dark hair. He hadn’t expected to feel this way—light, free, and even a bit hopeful. After everything that had happened, all the deceit, the betrayals, the conspiracies that had weighed heavily on his shoulders, he finally had a moment of peace. The past was behind him, but the future was bright, and it was something he’d begun to look forward to.As the golden rays of the setting sun stretched across the sky, Max took a deep breath, allowing the warmth to settle in his chest. He hadn’t realized just how suffocating the tension had been until it was gone. Vivian and Emma, the two people who had become his world, were safe, and the people responsible for the harm they’d caused would no longer be a threat.But this moment wasn’t about them. This was about something else. Something Max had never expected, something that, despite everything, felt like a reward—a new beginning.It had been a quiet evening, the mansio

    The final Blow.The courtroom was filled with tension, the air thick with anticipation. Max stood at the back, his eyes sharp, scanning the room as the defendants were led in. Ruth, Hannah, and Alexander, each appearing cold and composed, but Max could see the cracks forming beneath their facades. Their time had come.The gallery was filled with spectators, reporters, and those affected by the heinous crimes that had been committed. The seats were packed, yet there was a stillness that enveloped the room as the doors opened, and the accused were escorted to their designated seats.Max stood quietly, the weight of the entire process settling on his shoulders. He wasn’t just here to see them convicted; he was here to make sure the truth was brought into the light. The truth that had been hidden for so long. The truth that had torn apart so many lives, including his own.The courtroom had a sterile atmosphere—cold marble floors, high wooden ceilings, and the buzz of murmurs filling the a

    Hi dear readers this book is coming to an end with just few more chapters ahead and an epilogue as well, be active.A week later.Max had spent years mastering the art of control—whether in business, in combat, or in the relentless war for power that had shaped his life. But tonight wasn’t just about control. Tonight was about ending this.Ruth, Hannah, and Alexander had played their twisted games for far too long. They had destroyed lives, ripped families apart, and forced Vivian into years of torment. It was time they faced the consequences.Max stood in front of a dimly lit table, the blue glow from the monitors casting reflection over his sharp features. The private estate security footage played in front of him, a slow feed of a place that would soon become the stage for their downfall.Ray stood beside him, arms crossed, his expression hard. “Are you sure about this?”Max didn’t glance at him. “It’s the only way.”Ray exhaled, nodding. “Then let’s go over it again.”The setup wa

    Back at the suite, after Max had dropped off the little girl he saved earlier in the hospital to tend to her and also make inquiries about her parents, Max carried Emma inside, gently laying her on the bed. She stirred slightly, her lashes fluttering, but exhaustion kept her under.Vivian brushed a hand over her daughter’s hair, tears threatening to spill. “My baby…”Max exhaled, rubbing a hand down his face. “She needs to rest. And so do you.”Vivian turned to him, eyes flashing. “How can I rest? Max, she was taken! If you hadn’t found her, if you hadn’t—” Her voice cracked, and she pressed a hand to her lips.Max closed the distance between them in two strides, gripping her arms. “But I did find her.” His voice was low, firm. “And I won’t let it happen again.”Vivian looked up at him, searching his face. “Ruth won’t stop.”His expression darkened. “Neither will I.”A heavy silence stretched between them.Vivian’s breath was shaky as she stepped closer, pressing her forehead to his c

    The dim light of Max’s computer screen was the only source of light in the room, casting sharp shadows over his face as he stared at the footage playing in front of him. His hands were clenched into fists, his jaw locked so tightly it ached.The moment Emma had gone missing, he had known something wasn’t right. And now, he had proof.On the screen, the tiny, barely noticeable footage from Vivian’s earrings played. It was a risk he had taken, secretly placing a micro CCTV camera on them before leaving. He hadn’t told her—not because he didn’t trust her, but because he didn’t trust the world around her.And now, that paranoia had paid off.A grainy, shadowy figure moved into the hotel room. The timestamp showed it was mere minutes before Vivian woke up and found Emma gone. The man was fast, calculated—he knew exactly where to go.Then, for a split second, his face was caught in the reflection of a mirror.Max froze the footage and zoomed in. His blood ran cold.Damian Cross.A ghost fro

    The phone call ended with a cold finality, the kidnapper’s warning ringing in Vivian’s ears. Her breath came in shallow bursts, her fingers clenched around the phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her world had shrunk down to a single, terrifying truth—Emma was in the hands of a monster, and she had to get her back. Alone.Vivian fought the urge to collapse. She couldn’t afford to fall apart. Emma needed her to be strong.Her eyes darted around the park, scanning for any sign of the man who had spoken to her moments ago, but he had vanished into the trees, blending into the shadows like a ghost. There was no one to follow, no immediate threat, just the suffocating silence pressing against her chest.Vivian forced her trembling legs to move, stumbling back toward her car. Her mind was already working at a frantic pace. The kidnapper had told her to come alone, no police, no Max. But how could she face this alone? She had no weapons, no plan, nothing but the desperate love o

    Vivian woke up to the soft morning light filtering through the blinds. She knew Max had left and her body ached, a pleasant reminder of the night before, of the fire that had burned between her and Max. But as her eyes fluttered open, a sense of unease crept up her spine. The bed beside her was empty, the sheets slightly tangled as if Max had gotten up in the early hours of the morning.She pushed herself up on her elbows, glancing around the room. She couldn’t hear Emma’s usual morning giggles or the sounds of her little feet padding across the floor. The silence was unnerving, too quiet for a house that normally buzzed with life, even if it was just the two of them.Her heart sank as she pushed the covers off and swung her legs over the side of the bed. She had been so caught up in the heat of the moment with Max that she hadn't thought about Emma. In the past, Emma's early morning wanderings were never a cause for concern, but today, something felt different."Emma?" Vivian called

    The house was quiet, save for the soft hum of the refrigerator in the kitchen. Emma had fallen asleep quickly, her small body curled up beneath the covers, her peaceful expression a welcome contrast to the chaos of the past days. Vivian had kissed her goodnight, her heart heavy but full, before slipping silently out of the room.Max was waiting in the living room, his presence unmistakable even before she stepped through the door. The dim light from the lamps cast reflection over his face, making him look like a man on the edge—intense, brooding, and yet somehow still impossibly magnetic.Vivian hesitated for a moment, her pulse quickening at the thought of being alone with him again. She had never imagined things would unfold like this, never expected the intensity of the emotions that had resurfaced between them. The spark between them was undeniable, but so were the complications. So many unspoken truths, and still so much left to face.Max didn’t speak right away, but his eyes fol
