Chapter 112 : Max’s Point of View I stood outside Eva’s office, my heart pounding in my chest. The cold air still clung to my skin, but it felt insignificant compared to the storm raging inside me. I had just walked away from Sara’s house, my mind reeling with everything I had learned. The lies, t
I could feel my heart breaking with each word she spoke. Her voice was steady, but I could hear the pain beneath it, the years of hurt that she had buried deep inside. And I had been the cause of all of it. “I was blind,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “I was so blind, Eva. I couldn’t see wh
Chapter 113: Sara’s Point of View The door slammed shut behind me with a force that echoed through the empty house. My heart was still pounding in my chest, my breath coming in shallow bursts. I had never felt so exposed, so vulnerable. Max had finally seen through me, and now he knew the truth.
Chapter 114: Maximilian’s Point of View The sharp knock on my office door jolted me from my thoughts. I had been staring at the endless financial reports spread across my desk, the red numbers blaring like warning sirens. My temples throbbed, and I could feel the weight of the entire company pres
CHAPTER 115 MAX POINT OF VIEW The air in my office felt heavy, suffocating even. I sat behind my desk, staring blankly at the papers scattered across it. None of them mattered. Not the contracts, not the reports, not the endless list of demands that came with my position. All I could think about
Chapter 116 Eva’s Point of View The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple as I parked my car outside the small café Samuel Graves had chosen for our meeting. The location was inconspicuous, tucked away from the city’s bustling streets a place where secrets cou
“And what do you expect me to do?” I asked finally, closing the folder. Samuel’s smile widened slightly, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes. “For now, I need your cooperation. There are moves we must make, alliances we must forge. But first, you need to secure your position.” I frowned, suspicion
Chapter 117 Max’s Point of View The soft hum of the air conditioner filled my office as I leaned back in my chair, staring at the city skyline through the large glass windows. My mind was elsewhere, consumed by the nagging feeling that something was slipping out of my control. The sound of my off
Josh's Point of View The nightmares returned last night. Faces from my past, screams in dark alleys, blood on my hands that no amount of success could wash away. I jolted awake in my mansion suite, sheets tangled around me, heart pounding against my ribs. My phone showed three missed calls from He
Eva's Point of View The Brown Enterprises conference room buzzed with barely contained hostility. Camera flashes popped like lightning as reporters jostled for position, their hungry eyes fixed on the empty podium. Behind the scenes, I watched Sara pacing, her face pale but determined. "You don't
Sara's Point of View The morning started like a dream. My first major runway show for Paris Fashion Week, everything I'd worked so hard to achieve finally coming true. I should have known it wouldn't last. Nothing good in my life ever does. The first hint came during makeup. Victoria Stone, superm
Sara's Point of View The morning started with an urgent text from Eva about a "childcare emergency." I rushed to the mansion, expecting chaos, only to find four suspiciously well-behaved children setting up what appeared to be a romantic picnic in the garden. "Aunty Sara!" Mia bounced over, her pr
"Operation Love Birds is now in session!" Mia declared, banging her plastic princess wand against her bedroom floor like a gavel. Her brothers gathered around in a tight circle, their faces serious with six-year-old determination. "Are you sure about the name?" Leo whispered, glancing at the door
Chapter 319 The garden's night blooming jasmine filled the air with sweetness as Josh made his final rounds of the fotress grounds. Helena had insisted on top-notch security after the recent paparazzi incidents, and he took his role as Sara's protector seriously, perhaps too seriously, given how hi
"You didn't have to follow his plans." Bitterness crept into my voice. "You chose to help him kill Eva's mother. Chose to watch her die slowly." "I know." Tears filled her eyes. "Not a day passes that I don't see Leah's face. She was kind to me, even as the poison took her. Sometimes I wake up scre
"Sara?" Josh's voice seemed to come from far away. "What can I do?" A sob tore from my throat. Without hesitation, he crossed the room and pulled me into his arms. For once, he didn't maintain careful distance or worry about boundaries. He simply held me while I cried. "She's dying," I managed bet
Chapter 318 Sara's Point of View The envelope sat on my dressing table like a ticking bomb. Prison-issued paper, my mother's elegant handwriting somehow maintaining its grace despite her circumstances. I'd been staring at it for hours, unable to open it, unable to throw it away. My phone buzzed a
