Chapter 140 Eva's point of view My chest was tight, and no matter how much I tried to breathe, it felt like I was drowning. The sound of my own heart pounding in my ears only made it worse. My father was in a coma, and I couldn’t stop blaming myself. I should have forgiven him. I should have been
Josh didn’t say anything. He didn’t need to. He just sat there beside me, offering me the comfort of his presence. His hand found mine, and for a moment, I let myself lean into him. I needed someone who wouldn’t hurt me. Someone who wouldn’t leave me when things got tough. “You don’t have to go thr
Chapter 141 Sara's point of view The door slammed shut behind us, the sound echoing through the house. I didn’t care. I was furious, my blood boiling with every step I took into the living room. My mother was right behind me, her heels clicking against the marble floor, matching my pace as we bot
Chapter 142 Eva's point of view I sat beside my father’s hospital bed, the sterile scent of the room mixing with the faint hum of machines keeping him alive. His face, once full of life, now looked so pale, so still. I gripped his hand tightly, as if my touch could somehow bring him back. I didn’
Chapter 143 Eva's point of view I walked into the towering glass building of Brown Enterprises, my heart pounding in my chest. The weight of the moment bore down on me, but I couldn’t let it show. I had to stay strong, composed, and unwavering. My father’s legacy depended on it. Josh couldn't be
“I am Williams Brown’s only legitimate child,” I continued, my voice steady despite the storm raging inside me. “This company is my father’s legacy, and I am the rightful heir. Sara is an illegitimate child, and Emily is nothing more than the mistress who tore my family apart. They have no right to
Chapter 144 Eva point of view The words hit me like a blow to the chest. Murderer. My breath caught, and the room seemed to close in around me. Emily’s venomous accusation hung in the air, silencing everyone. The smug look on her face told me she had been waiting for this moment, for the perfect

"To new beginnings," I whispered to my reflection, watching my smile grow wider in the darkened glass. "And to sweet, sweet revenge." The ice in my glass had melted, diluting the expensive whiskey, but I hardly noticed. In my mind, I was already rehearsing my performance at the bank, imagining Eva'
Chapter 155 Emily's Point of View The ice clinked in my glass as I swirled the amber liquid, a satisfied smile playing on my lips. The news of Williams' death still felt surreal, like a dream I might wake up from at any moment. But it wasn't a dream. We had finally succeeded. The private room at
"I..." My voice cracked. "Grandmother, Dad is..." "I know, my darling," she said, her own voice thick with emotion. "It's all over the news. Oh, my sweet girl I'm so sorry." In the background, I could hear the children playing, their innocent laughter a stark contrast to the heaviness in my heart.
"How dare you?" I seethed. "How DARE you try to blame me for this? Ever since you two came into our lives, everything has fallen apart!" Sara flinched, but I wasn't finished. The words poured out like a flood. "You manipulated him, turned him against me, his own daughter! You played the perfect fa
I nodded weakly, allowing him to guide me to his car. As he opened the passenger door for me, I caught sight of Sara and her mother leaving the hospital. Josh must have seen them too, because his arm tightened protectively around my shoulders. "Don't even think about it," he warned them quietly as
I stumbled to a nearby bench, my legs finally giving out. The reality of what had just happened crashed over me in waves. My father was dead.

Chapter 154 Eva's Point of View The harsh fluorescent lights of the hospital corridor made my head throb as I paced back and forth. Sara and her mother sat rigid in the waiting area chairs, their faces drawn with worry. None of us spoke. The tension in the air was suffocating. When Dr. Matthews h
Chapter 153 Max’s Point of View I sat behind my desk, staring blankly at the stack of documents in front of me. My mind wasn’t on the reports or the contracts. It hadn’t been for weeks. I rubbed my temples, trying to push back the headache that had been building all day. Sleep had become a rare l
The steady beeping of the heart monitor was his only response, each sound both reassuring and maddeningly empty. "I don't know what to do anymore," I admitted, my voice trembling. "Sara hates me. She blames me for everything, and I don't even know how to begin fixing it. And now this... this accide
