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

  • Return of the Heiress: I married my ex-husband's brother   Never blamed her

    “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

    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

    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

    "Mrs. Elliot, Sir is currently in a meeting and cannot take calls," said the secretary in a chilly voice.Before Elena could respond, the person on the other end hung up.Elena stared at her phone's blank screen and felt a sharp, throbbing pain run through her body.Important meeting - two words that shattered the thin veil of hope she had left.The cold evening air bit at her cheeks and tears welled in her eyes.When Andrew informed her earlier that he was running late for the dinner, Elena did not take it to heart.Andrew's work always took precedence.During their five years of relationship, she had always been accommodating and never been an unreasonable person.But tonight was their anniversary, and she hoped that for once, he would put their love before his demanding career.But alas...Elena stubbornly waited for him even though she knew he wouldn't show up.Because part of her still hoped he would not abandon her.The minutes seemed to last forever.Three hours had passed with

    The room spun, and Elena stumbled backward, landing unceremoniously on the couch.Amidst the charged atmosphere behind the door, Elena struggled to stand up. Her legs felt unsteady as she moved towards the bedroom exit.No. No, no.Andrew would never do this to her. He would never.He loved her so much.He would never…She still believed that the person inside was not him.That’s right, he must be someone who had a similar voice.Besides, Chloe never liked Andrew to begin with, so why would she…Yes, she must be overthinking because of her disappointment earlier.Elena’s hand quivered as she reached for the doorknob.However, just as she was about to turn the handle, she stopped.She did not dare enter the room and confront the two people inside.The thought of confronting her husband's adultery and her best friend's betrayal was excruciating, and it was too much for her to bear.In fact, Elena had never felt so terrified before.Even when she had broken ties with her family, even whe

    Chloe wanted to force Elena into a corner.However, if the latter was disobedient, then she didn’t mind using a crooked approach.Hearing Chloe’s words, Andrew’s eyes lit up.Initially, he had been racking his brains, thinking about how to clean up the mess, but Chloe’s suggestion enlightened him.That’s right. As long as Elena turned a blind eye to his affairs, everything would be fine!Sure enough, hooking up with Chloe was the best decision. She always prioritized him first and never caused him any inconvenience.“Serve him together? Are you trying to disgust me to death?” Elena was so repulsed by her words she wanted to throw up. “I never knew you could stoop so low. What makes you think that after everything, I’d still want this trash?”Elena’s words stung Andrew, and he immediately leaped to his defense. “Who do you think you’re calling trash?”“Still asking?” Elena glared at him fiercely.“Andrew, please, calm down,” Chloe urged, her voice laced with concern. “Elena is angry ri

    “It’s just that… my heart is fluttering.”The darkness in the man’s eyes disappeared, and the corner of his lips curled up.His tall figure leaned closer to the counter and stopped when there was only an inch’s space between them.“Does your heart flutter after seeing me?” The man deliberately lowered his voice.The last syllable he said was seductive, as if it could move the wind by her ear.Elena nodded her head subconsciously.The man was pleased by her response and reached out his hand.Elena’s breath hitched as the man brushed his warm fingertips across her hair, removing a small piece of confetti that had gotten stuck.Ba-dump!At that moment, Elena’s heart started to pound violently against her chest.Currently, the two of them were very close, and Elena could smell a faint scent of agarwood on him.It made one feel calm and refreshing.The man lowered his eyelashes and noticed the woman still holding her breath.Her face was soft, and her lips were full and red, enticing him t

    “Even if you do, it’ll be my honor.”The man paused, taken aback by her boldness.Then a low chuckle resounded in the space.“What a sweet mouth,” he said in amusement. “Is your mouth really that sweet, or…”“Why don’t you find out?” Elena interrupted him.“I want to, but I’m afraid.”“Afraid?”The man’s expression remained impassive, but there was a flicker in his eyes. “I’m afraid that once I taste it, I’ll become addicted,” he confessed.Straightening her body, Elena took a step closer and pressed her soft lips against the corners of his mouth. “For a drug, there’s always an antidote.”The man did not allow her to pull away.Without a word, his lips crashed down on hers in a fierce and hungry kiss.Holding the back of her head, the man couldn’t help but suck on her tongue greedily, savoring the taste of lingering alcohol on her breath.It was a feeling he had never experienced before, one that ignited a fire within him.Elena melted into the kiss, her body responding to his touch w

    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.
