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 1EVA POINT OF VIEWMy hands tremble as I stand before the mirror, looking at my reflection, I hardly recognize myself. Fearful, wide eyes stare back at me, and the lace of the wedding dress were suffocating me and itching against my skin. The weight of this decision that I never made were l
Chapter 2 Maximilian point of view The door slams behind me, and I lean against the cold wall, running a hand through my hair. My chest tightens with frustration, my anger was swirling like a huge storm and I can’t control it. I am supposed to be married to Sara not her sister, not that slut Eva.
Chapter 3Eva’s Point of ViewI woke up in darkness, my body aching, my vagina sore. The bed beneath me was cold, just like the man who once lay beside me. I reach out to the other side of the bed, but Max was no longer there, I wondered if he had sneaked out of the room without me noticing.My gown
Chapter 4Eva’s Point of ViewI hesitate for a moment, standing in the doorway, my heart pounding in my chest. Max is sitting on the couch, his expression was cold, his eyes met me with that same icy glare. He holds a glass of whiskey in one hand, even though it’s barely morning. “Sit,” he said, hi
Chapter 5Max’s Point of ViewI watch as Eva walks out of the room, her fragile figure trembling, but she holds her head high, trying to maintain whatever dignity she has left. I can see the pain in her eyes, but I don’t care. I won’t let myself care. She deserves it, after everything that she did t
Chapter 6Eva's Point of ViewI'm sitting on the bed, just staring at my phone. I keep hoping it'll ring, but it doesn't. It never does. I don't know why I even care anymore. It's not like Max is gonna call. He hasn't said a word to me since he left. No "I'm sorry," no explanation, nothing. He's act
Chapter 7Eva's Point of ViewThe house is so quiet it's freaking me out. I've been sitting on this bed for hours, just waiting. Every second feels like it's taking forever. The clock keeps ticking, and it's so loud. It's like it's counting down to something really bad.Then I hear the door open dow

Chapter 217 Sara’s Point of View The silver cutlery trembled slightly between my fingers, a betrayal of the calm I was desperately trying to maintain. Dinner was unnervingly quiet, apart from the occasional clatter of utensils and the low hum of the rain against the windows. My mother sat across
Chapter 216 Eva's point of view The conference room felt like a courtroom. Again. Memories of my trial crashed over me the judgment, the whispers, the moment everything I'd built crumbled beneath my feet. And now, history was repeating itself in the most brutal way possible. The Colton merger,
Chapter 215 Eva's point of view The numbers didn't make sense. I'd been reviewing the quarterly financial reports for hours, my coffee going cold beside me, fingers tracing the columns of figures that seemed to dance and blur before my eyes. The soft hum of the office, distant phone conversations
Chapter 214 Max point of view The numbers didn't lie. I'd been staring at Brown Enterprise's financial reports for hours, and the pattern was becoming clearer with each spreadsheet I reviewed. Small discrepancies at first, rounding errors that weren't really errors, transaction timestamps that di
Chapter 213 Eva's point of view The boardroom felt different this morning. Maybe it was the way conversations hushed when I walked in, or how Richard Chen barely met my eyes during our usual pre-meeting small talk. Something had shifted, like a current changing direction beneath still waters. I
Chapter 212 Louis point of view I watched Eva leave early again through the glass walls of my office, her heels clicking against the marble floor with determined strides. Always rushing home to those children. Always putting family before business. Just like her father, too soft, too sentimental.

Chapter 210 Eva's Point of View I'd been staring at the same paragraph for the past ten minutes, my mind refusing to focus on the merger details that should have been my priority. "Mrs. Brown?" Mia's voice pulled me from my thoughts. She stood in the doorway, holding an elaborate arrangement of r
