Elena had never been one to follow her heart without considering the consequences.But something about Lucas had ignited a spark within her, a longing she had long suppressed in the confines of her marriage to Andrew.Hence, in a moment of recklessness, she succumbed to the passion as if nothing else mattered.But as she stood face to face with him, the reality of her actions came crashing down around her like a tornado.Of all people, why did it have to be him?How could she have been so blind, so foolish?It was as if fate had played a cruel joke on her.“Come here,” the man ordered.Elena stood frozen as Lucas’ commanding voice cut through the air.Her muscles tensed as she once again resisted the urge to flee.“Don’t make me repeat myself,” Lucas growled, his impatience palpable.Elena swallowed hard, the taste of fear bitter on her tongue.She took hesitant steps towards him, her eyes fixed on the ground, as she refused to meet his piercing gaze.Lucas’s patience was wearing thin

Knox’s shoulders relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.After witnessing their boss’ interactions with that woman, they were afraid that the former might’ve taken a liking to her.But as quickly as the thought entered their mind, they dismissed it.Their boss was famous for being ascetic, and last night’s events were probably his testosterone bursting out for a breather.“In that case, I’ll inform the hotel manager that you’ll be going over,” Knox informed.Lucas raised a brow. “For what?”Knox felt a pang of confusion.Every time they visited Auburn Hills, his boss would always stay at the hotel.So why was he still asking?Lucas sensed his confusion and replied. “This is my house. Why should I stay in a hotel when I have my room here?”Knox’s mouth twitched, and he was rendered speechless.———Elena’s heels clicked against the pavement as she emerged from the lawyer’s office.The late afternoon sun cast long shadows, mirroring the desolation that enveloped her.After careful con

Elena cursed Samantha countless times for getting her into this predicament.Lucas nudged the food trolley and ordered. “Eat it.”“Huh?” Elena was confused.But when she realized the meaning of his words, she became infuriated.“You think I poisoned the food?” She gritted her teeth.Lucas shrugged, his answer obvious.Since he was suspicious, Elena wanted to ask him why he was still living in the mansion.Despite having a long day, she had prepared supper for him at this late hour; yet this man dared to question her motives.Did she look that free to him?With a sharp inhale, Elena grabbed the spoon.Glaring at him, she scooped up a mouthful of food and shoved it into her mouth, her jaw working furiously as she chewed.She savored every bite to show him she had eaten.After swallowing, she slammed the spoon back onto the table with a forceful clatter. “There, are you satisfied now?”Just when Elena thought he would let her go, she saw him shake his head. “No.”Lucas moved closer till

Mr. Harper, Andrew’s lawyer, stood up for his client’s defense.“Your Honor, my client refutes all claims of infidelity. The evidence they provided is not concrete enough to support the allegations against my client.”Then he turned to face the judge with a serious expression. “I request that an expert be brought in to examine the so-called evidence presented by Mr. Brown. Only then can we ensure the authenticity of these claims.”The judge nodded in agreement.“The court will not decide based on evidence that may be forged or falsified. Bailiff, please collect the evidence and examine it by an expert.”Elena’s stomach churned as she saw the bailiff collect the folder.With that, the courtroom fell into a tense silence as the expert inspected the photographs and documents presented by Mr. Brown.Every eye in the room was glued on him as he meticulously scrutinized each piece of evidence.After what felt like an eternity, the expert finally spoke.“Your Honor, after careful examination

“You…”Elena’s head spun with shock and confusion.“There you have it, your honor.” Mr. Harper spread out his hands in front. “Ms. Walker’s allegations were nothing more than a premeditated scheme to defraud Mr. Elliot of his assets.”Rage boiled within Elena. Unable to contain her emotions, she rose to her feet.“You’re lying!” she shouted. “All of you are lying!”The judge banged his gavel, calling for order in the court, but Elena couldn’t bring herself to care.All she could see was red, her vision clouded by the overwhelming anger that consumed her.Her eyes inadvertently swept across the courtroom, and she caught Andrew and Chloe exchanging a smug glance.A sickening realization dawned over Elena, and she suddenly quietened down.So all along, she had been nothing more than a pawn in Andrew’s game.A mere puppet dancing at the whim of his manipulations!Everything finally clicked into place.The fabricated evidence, Chloe’s testimony, and even Mr. Thompson.It was all part of An

“W-Why?” she asked weakly, with tears in her eyes.“It’s simple,” he sneered. “You dared to file for divorce against me and this is the consequence of your actions.”The blood inside Elena froze as he continued.“Don’t worry. It’s only a matter of a few hours. After that, they’ll escort you home.”“No! Andrew, please-”The kidnapper hung up the call mercilessly.As the line went dead, Elena’s gaze shifted to the group of kidnappers who were now surrounding her.They stared at her, their eyes roaming over her body with a sickening lust, as though they could not wait to pounce on her.Elena’s tears flowed down her cheeks as she shut her eyes. A silent plea to escape from the nightmare closing in around her.She refused to surrender to her fate, but she was helpless.She was alone and defenseless against a bunch of menacing figures.The kidnappers unbuckled their belts and closed in, their intentions clear.Just as they were about to make a move, the blaring sirens surrounded the warehou

“Was the show good?”Elena pecked him on the lips and nodded. “Thank you. I enjoyed it.”The man was amused by her actions. “Why are you so active tonight?”A small smile played on her lips as she replied. “I just realized it wasn’t bad to hook up with you.”“Is that so?”Elena did not reply.Instead, her gaze lingered on the cigarette between his long and slender fingers.With an impulse, she reached out and caught his hand just before he lifted it to his lips. “Teach me,” she said softly.Lucas looked at her quietly, the warmth of her touch seeping into him before he passed the stick to her.Elena followed suit.Her fingers trembled slightly as she lifted the cigarette to her mouth.She took a drag, and the smoke filled her lungs with a harsh burn.Feeling the burning sensation in her throat, Elena winced.*Cough*Perhaps she had been too eager, she choked on it and started coughing violently.After the coughing fit subsided, Elena raised her head with teary eyes and saw Lucas watch

Creak!The door opened, and within a flash, Elena was pushed inside the wardrobe.“Elena? Are you in here?”Elena’s breath caught in her throat as Andrew’s voice drifted into the room.A mischievous grin appeared on Lucas’ face as he observed Elena’s anxious expression.“Say, what would happen if I walked out right now?”Elena’s eyes widened in panic, her mind racing through a thousand worst-case scenarios.Lucas watched her terror-stricken appearance and dropped his forehead against her shoulder, muffling a laugh.“You…” Elena glared at him. “Can you not be so annoying for once?”Rubbing his face in the crook of her neck, Lucas responded. “I can. But you won’t be able to handle the consequences,” he admitted frankly.The tap of footsteps sounded extremely eerie in the silence.Elena glanced towards the closed door, and then back at Lucas.“Please do something,” she pinched his waist.Lucas’ eyes narrowed dangerously at her bold move and vowed to settle scores with her later.Meanwhil

Four years later.The snow-covered peaks stretched endlessly, a breathtaking expanse of white under the pale winter sun.“Again!”Ethan laughed, his bright eyes gleaming with excitement.He was bundled in a white ski suit, his tiny gloved hands gripping the ski poles.Lucas crouched beside him, adjusting the boy’s stance with practiced ease.“Feet apart, shoulders steady,” he instructed, his deep voice laced with patience. “And don’t lean too far forward, or you’ll—”Before he could finish, Ethan pushed off, wobbling slightly as he slid down the gentle slope.“—fall,” Lucas muttered, shaking his head as Ethan toppled over into the soft snow.A giggle rang through the air as Ethan flopped onto his back, arms spread wide.As Ethan grew older, his features bore a striking resemblance to Lucas, except for his gorgeous dark blue

Isabella’s lips trembled. “I—I thought—”“You thought?” Helen’s voice cracked, a bitter laugh escaping her. “No, Isabella. You chose. You chose Mike. You chose yourself. And you threw Lucas away again.”Helen’s chest rose and fell with the force of her emotions.Looking at Isabella, she felt nothing but bitter disappointment.“We never blamed you,” Helen said. “Not when you lied about your death. Not when you left your son behind to fend for himself,” she continued, her voice cracking. “And this is how you repay us?”A choked sob escaped Isabella’s lips.She reached for Helen’s hand, but Helen took a step back.“You could’ve asked for help. You could’ve told anyone. But instead, you sold out your own family. Your own grandson.”Helen looked at Isabella with eyes full of grief.“D

“I have lived long enough to witness the rise and fall of generations, but tonight… tonight, I feel truly blessed. This child is not only the blood of our Evans family but the future that will carry our legacy forward.”He turned toward Lucas and reached out his aged hands.Lucas stepped forward, carefully handing Ethan over to his great-grandfather.Harold cradled the child with surprising gentleness, his usually stern eyes softening as he looked down at the tiny face.Under the watchful eyes of the entire Evans family and the influential guests present, Harold personally opened the ancient Evans family record book, an heirloom that had documented the bloodline for centuries.With a brush dipped in ink, Harold carefully wrote down the name Ethan Lucas Evans in bold strokes.The moment the ink touched the paper, it symbolized Ethan’s official entry into the Evans family tree, a position that no one could ever challen

He nudged Elena, who carefully handed the baby over.Everyone watched as Harold’s rough hands, once used to commanding empires and instilling fear, trembled slightly as they cradled the tiny life in his arms.The moment the child settled against him, Harold’s fury melted away.Helen stepped closer, her own hands clasped over her chest as she peered down at the baby. “Oh my God, he’s so handsome.”Harold’s eyes reddened once again.This was the blood of the Evans family…“Look at him,” Harold’s voice cracked. “He’s got the same sharp brows as Lucas when he was a baby.”Lucas’ eyes softened.The little one stirred slightly, his tiny hand clenching into a fist.A faint smile spread across Harold’s face as he gently patted the baby’s chest.“From this day onward,” Harold announced, his voice filled with pride a

ACE’s face immediately turned terrifying.“Winter.” He said warningly. “You’re not allowed to joke about that.”Her heart skipped a beat.No one knew better than her how scary this man was once he got angry.Wrapping her arms around his neck, she rubbed her face against his cheek. “All right, all right. Don’t be fierce.”ACE sighed helplessly.He could make world leaders shut up with a single glance, yet before this woman, he was always at the losing end.No matter how ruthless he was outside, when it came to Winter, he had no bottom line.He let her act coquettishly and turned around. “What do you want to eat?”Winter’s eyes instantly lit up.Her hubby was so good to her.She latched onto his arm without hesitation, her voice filled with excitement as she rattled off a long list of dishes.“…”Jayden, w

Lucas only smiled.Back when he resided in Country K, Lucas had found himself entangled with the Black Vipers, a ruthless underground syndicate known for their brutal dealings in the underworld.To survive and walk out alive, Lucas went undercover as Rocky.He played his role flawlessly, climbing their ranks, gaining their trust, and dismantling their core operations.By the time he left Country K, he thought he had completely destroyed them.Yet, fate proved him wrong.Like cockroaches that thrive in darkness, they waited for the right moment to resurface.Lucas knew their weaknesses.Their hideouts and the fractures in their foundation.The cops knew it, too.That’s why they came to him, not as a suspect, but as an asset.They needed someone who could infiltrate deep, someone with a personal stake in bringing the Black Vipers to their knees.And when the authorities realized the extent of his

Jayden Luxton strode toward them, his sharp gaze sweeping over the scene.Dressed in all black, he exuded the same air of danger and authority as Lucas, but his approach wasn’t hostile.Not this time.“Everything is ready.” He said, giving him a small nod.Behind him, the hospital staff rushed forward, quickly transferring Elena onto a stretcher.As the stretcher started moving, Elena’s fingers slipped from Lucas’.She stirred slightly, her fingers weakly grasping at his sleeve before her strength gave out.The sight nearly shattered him.The stretcher was wheeled straight into the emergency room, disappearing through the doors.The woman, who had been by Elena’s side the entire time, turned to Lucas. “I’ll take care of it.”Before she could enter the operating room, Jayden’s arm shot in front of her.Wariness flickered across his face.The

Elena’s pulse quickened. “What—”“Just do it.” His tone left no room for argument.Ten minutes later, a sharp, piercing scream resounds from inside the bedroom.The guards patrolling rushed inside, and what they saw blew their minds.Elena lay on the cold, hard floor, her body curled in on itself.A dark pool of blood spread beneath her, soaking through her dress.Her face contorted in agony, sweat beading along her forehead as she gasped for air.Before her stood Hunter with his fists clenched at his side.His usually sharp gaze was unfocused, drowning in a drunken stupor.One of the guards cursed under his breath. “What the hell did you do, Hunter?!”Hunter swayed slightly, his movements sluggish. “I just wanted to… wanted to hold her hands. But she wouldn’t let me.”“The baby…” Elena rasped, her lips trembling. &l

Elena’s face turned pale.“Don’t overdo it, Hunter. We can’t afford any accidents before the smuggling.” Reed reminded him.“Relax,” Hunter replied coolly.He grabbed Elena’s chin, his thumb dragging across her cheekbone as he tilted her face left, then right.“Damn. What a pretty face,” he mused, his tone almost appreciative. “That b***ard Lucas really lucked out, huh?”Elena pulled away her face from his grip and glared at him. “Don’t take his name from your filthy mouth.”Hunter sneered. “Touched a nerve, did I?”Elena’s glare was colder than ice.Hunter crouched before her, bringing his face level with hers. “I don’t have a good temper, woman.” Hunter continued, his voice slow, deliberate. “So, if you dare piss me off…”A cold metal suddenly touched Elena’s belly.
