2024-09-18 10:18:00Diluc sat in his office, the London skyline stretching out before him as he stared at the papers on his desk. The day had been long and exhausting, filled with meetings that seemed to drag on endlessly. Yet, despite the pressing business matters at hand, his thoughts kept circling back to one person—Yvette.
His phone buzzed, pulling him out of his reverie. It was a message from Yvette, the tone as manipulative and taunting as ever.**“We need to talk, darling. Don’t keep me waiting. Remember, I have what you need.”**Diluc’s jaw tightened as he read the message. Yvette was a problem that refused to go away, but this time she had pushed him into a corner. She had leverage over him—leverage that was deeply personal, and it revolved around the one thing he had never truly been able to let go of: his mother’s death.Ane Neuvillette’s passing had always been shrouded in mystery. Officially, it had been labeled as a heart attack, a sudden and tragic eveRelated chapters

The evening of the charity event arrived with an air of anticipation and tension. The London night was crisp, a slight chill in the air as the city’s elite gathered at one of the most luxurious venues in the city. The grand ballroom was decked out in opulence—crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and elegant decorations adorning every corner. Guests in their finest attire mingled, the sound of polite laughter and clinking glasses filling the space.Furina stood in front of the mirror in her room, taking one last look at herself before the car arrived. The midnight blue gown that Tiffany had chosen for her fit perfectly, accentuating her figure and giving her an air of quiet confidence. The silver heels from Tommaso’s family collection added a touch of sophistication, while the earrings sparkled subtly with every movement. She took a deep breath, steadying her nerves. Tonight, she needed to be poised and composed. She couldn’t afford to let anything slip.As

Furina was lounging on her couch, catching up on a novel she had been too busy to finish, when her phone buzzed on the coffee table. She glanced at the screen and saw Diluc’s name flash across it. With a slight flutter in her chest, she picked up the phone. “Hello, Diluc,” she greeted, her voice calm, though she couldn’t entirely mask her curiosity. “Hi, Furina,” Diluc replied, his tone slightly formal. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything.” “Not at all,” Furina said, closing her book. “What’s going on?” “I wanted to let you know that we’ve been invited to a charity gala tomorrow night. It’s a high-profile event, and I think it would be beneficial for us to attend together,” Diluc explained. He hesitated for a moment before continuing, “I know this is a bit last minute, so if you need anything—like a dress, shoes, or any accessories—I can have them sent over.” Furina smiled at h

The air in the penthouse felt thick with tension as Furina stared out at the London skyline, the weight of the events from the past few days pressing down on her. The cold city lights glittered like a thousand stars, but there was no beauty in them tonight—only a stark reminder of the harsh reality she found herself trapped in. Yvette had taken Diluc. She had watched helplessly as the man she had come to care for walked away, taken hostage by his past with Yvette, and the twisted game that Yvette was playing.It had been a few days since Diluc had been forced to leave with Yvette, and there had been no word from him since. The silence gnawed at Furina's mind, the uncertainty of his fate making her restless. Every moment that passed felt like a countdown, as though time was slipping away from her, and with it, any chance of saving Diluc from whatever trap Yvette had set for him.Her friends had stayed with her in the mansion for as long as they could, offering their

The sun hung low on the horizon as dusk began to settle over the London skyline, casting the city in a golden haze. The sight from the penthouse windows was a view Furina had once found beautiful, but now, as she stared out at the fading light, all she could feel was emptiness. The weight of everything that had happened in the last few days pressed down on her chest, suffocating her. Diluc was gone, taken by Yvette, and she had been left behind—powerless to stop it. Furina’s mind kept replaying the scene in the warehouse, the cold kiss between Diluc and Yvette, the look in his eyes when he’d told her he had to go with Yvette. He had done it to protect her; she knew that much. But that didn’t make the pain any easier to bear. She felt as though she had failed him, failed herself, by letting him sacrifice himself for her. Her phone buzzed on the kitchen counter, breaking through her thoughts. Furina crossed the room quickly, hoping it was Luca with an update. He had been working tirel

Furina's heart raced as she read Luca’s response the next morning. She sat on the edge of her bed, the early morning light filtering through the curtains. Her fingers trembled slightly as they hovered over the phone, but she knew this was what she had to do.Luca: Meet at the safe house tonight at 8 PM. I’ll send you the address. Don’t tell anyone else where you’re going. We’re moving in fast. The message felt like a final warning—a line she was about to cross. Once she entered into this operation, there was no turning back. She had promised Harrod she would listen to Luca, but she couldn’t deny the fear gnawing at the edges of her resolve. Furina had never done anything like this before. This was real, dangerous, and it wasn’t just about her anymore—it was about Diluc’s life.She let out a shaky breath, feeling the weight of the decision she was about to make. Diluc was out there somewhere, possibly trapped and manipulated by Yvette. Every minute that pa

Yvette’s voice hung in the air like a dagger poised to strike. Her eyes glinted with malice, a smug confidence that made Furina’s skin crawl. It was the look of someone who had planned for every contingency, someone who had known this moment would come and had been waiting for it. She wasn’t surprised that the extraction team had made it this far; she had been anticipating it. Furina’s heart pounded in her chest, her blood roaring in her ears as she stood frozen, staring at Diluc, slumped and bound to the chair in the center of the room. “Yvette,” Furina said, her voice barely above a whisper, but it carried a raw edge of anger. “Let him go.” Yvette smiled, a slow, calculating curl of her lips. “Why would I do that? I finally have everything I want. You’ve come to rescue him, but look at him. Does it seem like he’s been begging to be saved?” She gestured to Diluc, who remained unmoving, his head still hanging low. Furina’s breath hitched.

The night air was heavy with tension as Furina and the team left Yvette’s estate. The SUV sped down the winding roads, the headlights cutting through the thick darkness. Inside the vehicle, the silence was almost suffocating. Luca sat in the front seat, his eyes scanning the road ahead, while Furina sat beside Diluc in the back, watching him with a mixture of relief and concern. Diluc hadn’t said much since they’d gotten him out. His eyes were closed now, his head resting against the window, but Furina could see the tension in his posture, the way his hands occasionally clenched into fists. He was physically free, but mentally, emotionally, he was still trapped in whatever hell Yvette had put him through. Furina had tried to talk to him, to ask him if he was okay, but every time she spoke, Diluc’s answers were short, clipped. He wasn’t ready to talk yet, and Furina wasn’t sure how to reach him. The man who had once been so cold, calculating, and in control now seemed distant, lost

The mention of Celeste hung in the air between them like an unspoken threat. She was still out there, waiting, and Furina knew that as long as she remained free, their peace was fragile, always on the verge of shattering.Furina’s hand was still wrapped around Diluc’s, offering him a quiet support. “What about Celeste?” she asked, her voice steady but laced with concern. “What are we going to do about her?”Diluc’s face darkened at the mention of his stepmother. His expression, which had softened just moments before, hardened into something colder, more focused. Furina had seen this look many times—the mask of the calculating businessman, the man bent on revenge, the man who had spent years chasing justice for his mother, Ane. Yet, in his eyes, Furina could see the exhaustion. The toll of the years weighed on him heavily, especially after Yvette’s manipulations.“We have to stop her,” Diluc said after a long pause, his voice low and filled with determinati

Mysterious Billionaire is My Stepbrother Chapter Forty Seven
The weight of everything hung heavy between Diluc and Furina as they sped away from the hospital. The night was thick with tension, but there was something else too—an unspoken vulnerability that lingered between them. They had escaped danger, but it felt like a temporary reprieve, like the eye of the storm. Furina stared out the window of the SUV, her heart still racing from the chaos of the hospital. Celeste’s reach was longer than they had anticipated, and the thought of how close they had come to something far worse left a chill running down her spine. But at the same time, there was something reassuring in the steady presence beside her. Diluc sat rigid, his eyes focused straight ahead, his jaw clenched in that way she had come to recognize—when he was fighting to stay in control. It was a look he wore often, but tonight, she could sense the cracks in his armor. The driver pulled up to a luxury hotel on the edge of the city, a secluded place far fr

Celeste had never been one to get her hands dirty. Throughout her life, she had always relied on manipulation, charm, and subtlety to get what she wanted. But this time was different. This time, her back was against the wall, and she couldn’t afford to trust anyone else to handle the job. Not when Furina had slipped through her fingers and Antoine was growing suspicious of her every move. This was personal now, and Celeste was determined to make a point.Disguising herself as a nurse to get close to Fionn had been a stroke of genius, she thought. It was the last thing anyone would expect. After all, the woman of her standing would never stoop so low as to involve herself directly. She had carefully constructed her persona over the years: the elegant, untouchable wife of Antoine Neuvillette, always perfectly composed, always a few steps ahead of everyone else. But sometimes, sacrifices had to be made. Sometimes, she had to step into the shadows herself to ensure things were

Antoine left the room, his heart heavy and his mind racing with the full realization of what he had uncovered. Celeste’s words echoed in his ears: *“You’re either with me, or you’re against me.”* She had finally dropped the last remnants of her mask, revealing the cold, calculating woman she truly was. Everything about their life together—their marriage, their family—had been built on lies. And now, the truth was unraveling in front of him, piece by piece. As he walked down the hallway of his grand estate, Antoine knew he was in danger. Celeste wasn’t someone who took betrayal lightly, and he had just made himself her enemy. But more than that, he feared for his son, Diluc, and for Furina. They were both caught in the crosshairs of Celeste’s web, and now that Yvette had been dealt with, Celeste would focus her full attention on destroying them. Antoine’s mind flashed back to the days after Ane’s death, how quickly Celeste had inserted herself into his life, offering comfort and supp
Mysterious Billionaire is My Stepbrother Chapter Forty Four
Celeste Neuvillette, born with cunning in her blood, had always seen people as tools. Fionn, the man she had once loved and married, had been no different. Back then, when they were young, she had admired his spirit, his passion for life. But admiration was fleeting, and love even more so. Once Fionn had served his purpose, once he had proven too weak to provide the kind of life she craved, Celeste had discarded him as easily as one would toss away a broken toy. And now, seeing him beaten and broken, fighting for his life in a hospital, stirred no emotion within her. She sat in her opulent suite, the city lights twinkling far below, and raised her glass of wine to her lips. The crimson liquid swirled in the glass, rich and full-bodied—just like the life she deserved. She had traded up, hadn’t she? Fionn, with his simple dreams, had been nothing compared to Antoine Neuvillette, one of Europe’s wealthiest men. Marrying Antoine had been the pinnacle of her success,

Celeste was never one to simply accept defeat. The moment she learned of Yvette’s capture and failure, her mind began working, gears turning behind her cold eyes. She had always been the architect of her own future, calculating every move with precision. Yvette’s reckless obsession with Diluc had been a weak point she had tolerated for too long. Now that Yvette was in custody, Celeste had no more use for her. But Furina, Diluc, and their sudden defiance—*that* was something she couldn’t let stand. Celeste paced the opulent halls of her French estate, her high heels clicking against the marble floor with every determined step. The sprawling mansion was a masterpiece of European architecture, all dark wood, and gilded chandeliers, but the beauty around her barely registered as her mind raced. From the outside, she appeared the picture of elegance and control, but internally, she was seething. Furina, the daughter she had discarded, had become a bigger threat than
