Chapter 218 Louis point of view Power isn't about force. It's about precision. Manipulation. Creating doubt so subtle that the victim believes the destruction is their own doing. Power is an art form. And I am its most meticulous artist. Eva never saw me coming. I watched her, my niece, my tar
Chapter 219 Max point of view I sat in my office, staring at the clock, but it felt like time had stopped. Grant was late. He was never late. My heart pounded in my chest as I clenched my fists on the desk. I’d barely slept in days, my thoughts consumed by Louis. Every time I closed my eyes, I sa
Chapter 220 Max point of view Grant reached into the briefcase and pulled out another folder, this one marked with the name I dreaded seeing. Mia Eva’s secretary.. I felt my fists clench at my sides. Mia, Eva had always treated her like family. “She’s been working with Louis, too,” Grant conti
Louis point of view Power. It had a taste, a weight, a feel that most people couldn’t understand. But I knew it intimately. Power was like a fire in your chest, burning, consuming, demanding. And Today, I would claim what should have been mine all along. Brown Enterprises was no longer Eva’s playgr
“Yes.” I straightened in my seat, clasping my hands on the table. “It’s no secret that this company has faced challenges under your guidance. While I commend your efforts, the board and I believe it’s time to reconsider the direction of Brown Enterprises.” Her composure cracked, just slightly, but
Eva’s Point of View The boardroom still smelled like betrayal. The faint scent of wood polish and cold coffee lingered in the air, but it was drowned out by the sickening reality of what had just happened. I stood there, staring at the now-empty table, my hands gripping the edge so tightly my knuck
Louis’s Point of View The storm outside the window mirrored the one raging in my chest. Heavy raindrops battered the glass, a relentless rhythm that threatened to drown out my thoughts. The office, now stripped of Eva’s personal touches, felt colder, sterile. I traced my hand along the polished woo
Chapter 224 Eva's Point of View I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the ceiling, numb. The silence of the room was suffocating, broken only by the occasional creak of the floorboards or the faint hum of the heating system. My hands trembled as I clutched the blanket around me like it was the o
For the first time, genuine conflict showed on Rodriguez's face. "I never wanted the children hurt. That wasn't part of the original plan." "Then help us protect them," Eva pleaded. "I can't betray..." "You already have," Max interrupted. "The moment you put our children in danger." Rodriguez st
Rodriguez's jaw tightened, but he remained silent. "We found the envelope in your car," Jensen added. "The one with the burned photos. You brought it in yourself." Max slammed his hand on the table. "My six-year-old daughter has nightmares because of information you provided! My children are in hi
Morning light filled the security office as Jensen spread documents across the table. "These are all communications from the past month. If there's a leak, we'll find it here." Max nodded, rubbing tired eyes. Victoria's warning about a spy within their security team had triggered immediate action.
As Eva and Max walked back to the main house, the night air cool around them, Max kept his voice low. "Are you sure about this? Having her here?" "No," Eva admitted honestly. "But I'm even less sure about sending her away to be hunted by Diana." "She threatened our children, Eva," Max reminded her
Inside, Victoria stood awkwardly in the center of the living room, suddenly seeming unsure of herself. Without the cover of darkness, her scars were starkly visible under the warm lighting, the contrast between her damaged and undamaged sides even more pronounced. "I'll have clothes brought over,"
The convoy of black SUVs cut through the night, headlights carving paths through the fog. Eva sat in the back seat of the lead vehicle, watching rain streak across bulletproof glass. Across from her, Victoria stared out her own window, damaged profile turned away as if to spare Eva the sight of her
"Why help her?" Eva asked. "Why come after my family?" "Because it was the only thing that made the pain bearable," Victoria answered honestly. "Thinking that one day, you would understand what it feels like to lose everything." A flash of movement caught Eva's eye, something shifting in the shado
Chapter 299 Eva parked at the far end of the abandoned shipyard, exactly where Victoria had specified. The meeting had been Eva's idea, a bold move that Max had fought until he understood there was no other way to end this nightmare. Two days had passed since the children left. Two days of Eva and
Diana leaned back. "There are excellent surgeons overseas. Part of Louis's package includes consultations with specialists in Switzerland." Victoria touched her scars. "Too little, too late." "After tomorrow, you can disappear. Become someone new." "And what life does Eva deserve?" Diana's eyes
