The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 128: Danger approaching
Lucian sat in his office, staring at the city skyline through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The weight of the past few days hung heavy in his chest. Since the message arrived, his father had been on his mind more than he cared to admit. He had decided not to meet him. Whatever his father wanted, it didn’t matter. He refused to be pulled back into that world—into the cycle of manipulation and destruction that had defined his life for so long. He wasn’t that man anymore. He had Aurora now. Loyd. A reason to be different. A reason to stay away. But his father never took no for an answer. A knock on his office door pulled him from his thoughts. Alfred stepped inside, his expression unreadable. In his hands was a thick envelope. Lucian’s brows furrowed. “What is that?” Alfred’s hesitation made his stomach twist. “It arrived

Lucian stood in the quiet park, his gaze fixed on the two people who had changed his life in ways he never thought possible. Aurora sat on a wooden bench beneath the shade of an old oak tree, laughing softly as she watched Loyd chase after a butterfly. The boy’s excitement was contagious—his small arms stretched out, his bright eyes filled with wonder. Lucian’s chest tightened. Loyd had been happier than ever since learning he had a father. Every time Lucian saw the pure joy in his son’s face, it made him feel both overwhelmed and undeserving. Yet, he couldn’t deny the warmth it brought him. He never thought he’d have this—a family. A reason to keep going. But now, all he could think about was the threat looming over them. His father’s words echoed in his mind. "I’m not just coming for your wife. I’m coming for you." Lucian clenched his jaw, shoving his hands i

The late afternoon sun cast a golden glow over the garden as Aurora and Carmela sat at the outdoor table, steaming cups of tea in front of them. The air was warm, filled with the scent of blooming jasmine, and the distant laughter of children playing in the neighborhood. Aurora stirred her tea absentmindedly, her mind on the conversation she and Carmela had been having for the past half-hour. “Are you sure about this?” Carmela asked, her voice hesitant yet softer than it had been in the past when it came to Lucian. Aurora looked up, a small smile forming on her lips. “It’s what Loyd wants. And honestly… it’s what I want, too.” Carmela sighed, running a hand through her short curls. “I still don’t trust him.” Aurora expected that response. She reached over and gently squeezed Carmela’s hand. “I understand. After everything that happened, I wouldn’t expect you to forgive him easily.” Carmela’s lips pressed together, her expression unreadable. Then she let out a slow b

Loyd’s birthday had finally arrived. Aurora stood near the entrance, watching as children ran around, their joyful giggles echoing through the air. A fond smile played on her lips. Everything was just as she had envisioned—simple, yet grand in its own way. She glanced to the side and saw Carmela talking to some of the parents who had brought their children. It was heartwarming to see her mother trying to be more involved, even if she still wasn’t entirely comfortable with Lucian being around. Speaking of Lucian— Her gaze naturally drifted toward him. He was standing near the game station, watching as Loyd and a few other kids took turns trying to hit a piñata. His hands were in his pockets, his sharp suit slightly out of place among the more casually dressed parents, but he didn’t seem to mind. There was something different in the way he looked at Loyd—something softer. Something real. Loyd’s excited cheers pulled her attention back to the present. “I did it! I did it

Aurora stood near the dessert table, helping Carmela pack up the remaining cupcakes while keeping an eye on Loyd, who was excitedly showing his new toys to Rebecca. Everything had gone perfectly. Loyd was happy. And Lucian— Her gaze drifted to where he stood near the patio, speaking with one of the parents who had lingered behind. Even in the midst of a casual conversation, he carried himself with that quiet, commanding presence, as if he were always calculating his next move. But today, there had been something else in his expression—something lighter, more present. For the first time in a long time, it felt like they were a real family. Just as Aurora turned back to her task, Lucian’s phone rang. She heard the distinct buzz before she saw him glance down at the screen. His expression shifted, his body tensing ever so slightly. “I need to take this,” he said, his voice polite but firm. Aurora blinked at him. “Now?” Lucian hesitated for a fraction of a second b

Lucian entered his penthouse, the soft hum of the city below filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows. His mind was a storm, thoughts of Don Ramon, Aurora, and Loyd colliding in a battle he wasn’t sure how to win. Alfred was already waiting for him. The older man stood near the bar, a glass of whiskey in hand, his face unreadable. The weight of the situation sat heavy between them. Lucian loosened his tie and exhaled sharply. “Tell me everything.” Alfred nodded, setting his drink down. “He’s started gathering his people. The ones who remained loyal.” Lucian clenched his jaw. He had expected this, but hearing it confirmed made the threat feel more tangible. “He’s been reaching out to old allies,” Alfred continued. “Some of them are hesitant, but others…” He hesitated. “Others are eager to be under his command again.” Lucian’s fingers curled into fists. “How many?” “We don’t have exact numbers yet, but enough to be a problem.” Lucian turned toward the window

Aurora sat behind her desk, skimming through the reports Joseph had left for her earlier. The morning had been uneventful—just the usual workload that came with running her business. She was about to take a sip of her coffee when Joseph stepped into her office, holding a neatly printed invitation. “Ms. Aurora,” he said, placing it on her desk. “You’ve been invited to a business banquet this evening.” Aurora glanced at the invitation and raised an eyebrow. “A banquet? Who’s hosting?” Joseph straightened his glasses. “It’s being held by the Chamber of Commerce. A gathering of major business figures. It’s an opportunity to build connections.” She exhaled softly, tapping her fingers against the desk. Business banquets weren’t exactly her favorite events, but she knew how important they were. Networking, forming alliances, keeping up appearances—it was all part of the game. Still, she hesitated. With everything going on lately, she wasn’t sure she wanted to attend. Lu

Aurora moved through the grand ballroom with effortless grace, engaging in polite conversation with various business figures. The banquet was in full swing—crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow over the room, the sound of clinking glasses and soft laughter filling the air. It was the kind of event she had grown used to attending, where power and influence were traded in subtle words and veiled smiles. As she listened to a CEO discuss market trends, her gaze flickered across the room, instinctively seeking Lucian. He was standing near the bar, engaged in conversation with two senior executives. Even in a crowd of powerful people, he stood out—calm, composed, exuding an authority that was impossible to ignore. Her eyes lingered on him for a moment longer than necessary. Something about tonight felt different. She still couldn’t shake the feeling that Lucian had been hiding something from her. His presence at this banquet—unmentioned, unexpected—only fueled her suspici

The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 152: The Brother
Aurora barely had time to think as she rushed through the grand hallway, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. Every second felt like an eternity, and every breath was filled with a sense of urgency. Loyd was out there, somewhere, trapped in the hands of a man she had thought was long dead.Lester Aldric.The name sent a shiver down her spine. She had spent the last few hours wrestling with the shock of it, but there was no time for hesitation now. If what Red had found was true, then Lester was alive, and he was the one behind her son’s kidnapping.She clutched her phone tightly in her hand as she stormed toward the front door. She was going to end this.But just as she reached the entrance, the heavy doors swung open, and Lucian stepped inside.Aurora’s breath hitched.Lucian was dressed in a sharp black suit, his tie loosened slightly as though he had rushed here. His golden eyes immediately locked onto her, dark with intensity. The moment he saw her standing there,
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 151: The Kidnapper
Aurora hadn’t slept for hours. The weight of the situation had turned her mind into a whirlwind of thoughts, none of them bringing any comfort. The room felt suffocating, the silence deafening. It was the kind of silence that screamed for answers—answers that she still didn’t have.She sat in front of her laptop, staring at the screen as Red’s interface blinked at her, its cheerful emoji face betraying the severity of the situation.“Find him, Red. Find Loyd,” she whispered, her voice hoarse from the strain of the past 24 hours.Her hands moved across the keys, the same commands over and over again. Every search, every trace led to a dead end. Loyd’s whereabouts were still a mystery. The police were still investigating, but they had no leads. No clues. The frustration gnawed at her like a beast trying to break free from its cage.Every second felt like an eternity. Every thought was a question. Where is my son?Her mind wandered to the last time she’d held him, kissed his forehead, t
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 150: Kidnapped
Aurora sat in the living room, her hands gripping her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white. The room was filled with police officers, their radios buzzing, their voices low but urgent as they coordinated the search for Loyd.But it wasn’t fast enough.Nothing was fast enough.Her baby was missing.Her heart pounded erratically in her chest, her breathing uneven.Loyd.Where was he? Was he scared? Was he crying for her?The thought made her stomach churn.She forced herself to stay strong. She couldn’t afford to fall apart—not now.Taking a shaky breath, she pressed the call button.Lucian picked up on the first ring.“Aurora,” he said, his voice sharp, controlled—but she could hear the underlying panic.“It’s Loyd,” she choked out.“I know.”There was silence for a brief moment. Then—“I’ll handle it.”Aurora clenched her jaw. “We need to tell the police—”“No.” Lucian’s voice was firm, cutting her off.She frowned. “Lucian, they can help—”“They won’t,” he bit out. “They’l
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 149: Failed
Lucian clenched his fists, his jaw tightening as he paced his office.His plan had failed.Aurora knew everything now.He had wanted to protect her—to handle this mess before she ever found out. But now, the fragile trust they had rebuilt was at risk of shattering.Lucian slammed his fist against his desk, his chest heaving.Damn it.He never wanted to invest in CRS Holdings. Never wanted to be involved with Don Ramon again. But the old man had forced his hand. Blackmail.If Lucian hadn’t complied, Don Ramon would have unleashed something far worse.And now?Now, he was losing Aurora.A bitter taste filled his mouth as he grabbed his suit jacket. He couldn’t let this continue.He had made a mistake, but he could still fix it.He was going to see Don Ramon.And this time, he was cutting ties for good.—Don Ramon sat comfortably in his leather chair, swirling a glass of whiskey in his hand. His gray eyes gleamed with amusement as Lucian stormed into his office.“Well, well,” the older
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 148: Don Ramon's work
Aurora’s heart pounded as she watched Red process her request. The AI’s animated face flickered for a few seconds before its voice chimed through her AirPods.“Scanning for data… Please wait, Master.”Her grip on the iPad tightened.She didn’t know what she was expecting. Maybe she wanted Red to tell her that this was all a mistake—that Don Ramon was still locked away where he belonged. That someone was playing a sick joke on her.But she knew better.The locket in the black box had been real. And Don Ramon wouldn’t send something like that unless he wanted her to know he was free.Minutes passed in tense silence. Aurora sat frozen at her desk, her mind racing.She had spent years trying to rebuild her life after everything he had done. She had buried the past. She had fought through her pain, through her anger, and finally, she had found peace.But now?Now, he was back.Red’s voice pulled her from her spiraling thoughts.“Search complete! Displaying results now.”Aurora’s screen fli
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 147: The Old Locket
For days, Aurora had refused to speak to Lucian. She had seen his messages, the calls he left unanswered, but she ignored them all.It wasn’t that she had decided to cancel the wedding. No, she still wanted to marry him. But she needed time to think.The past still hurt.Because of Don Ramon, she lost her father. Because of him, their family had nearly lost everything.And worst of all, her mother had suffered the most. It had taken years for Carmela to even tolerate Lucian’s presence in their lives, and that was only because of her and Loyd.If Carmela found out that Lucian had kept Don Ramon’s release a secret?Aurora clenched her jaw. She would be devastated.She thought she had reached her limit. That nothing could make this worse.But then—a package arrived.A small black box, wrapped in a blood-red ribbon.At first, she thought it was a wedding gift. A well-wisher, perhaps. Or maybe even Lucian, trying to make amends for what he had done.But the moment she opened it, a wave of
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 146: Cries
Aurora clutched the glass of wine in her trembling hands, staring blankly at the city lights beyond Rebecca’s penthouse window. The night sky stretched endlessly before her, but all she could feel was the suffocating weight pressing against her chest.Tears streamed down her face, hot and relentless. She wiped them away furiously, but they kept falling.“I should’ve known,” she whispered, voice hoarse.Rebecca, sitting across from her on the couch, crossed her arms, her expression hard. “You’re damn right you should’ve.”Aurora flinched at the sharpness in her friend’s tone. Rebecca never sugarcoated anything, but tonight, she wasn’t just blunt—she was angry.“Do you realize what this means, Aurora?” Rebecca continued, leaning forward. “That man—Don Ramon Blackwood—he ruined your life. He manipulated Lucian. He almost destroyed everything. And now he’s just… out?” She scoffed, shaking her head. “And Lucian didn’t even tell you?”Aurora swallowed the lump in her throat. “He said he w
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 145: The Truth is out
Aurora stormed into Blackwood Enterprises, her heels clicking against the marble floors with purpose.The moment she stepped inside, the receptionist and employees turned to look at her. Some murmured in hushed tones, but she ignored them.She was furious.Lucian had been keeping something this important from her.Her hands clenched at her sides as she took the elevator up to the executive floor. The doors opened, and she stepped out, heading straight for Lucian’s office.“Ma’am—” Lucian’s secretary, Janine, started, but Aurora had already pushed the door open.Lucian was standing near the floor-to-ceiling windows, a phone pressed to his ear. At the sound of the door slamming shut, he turned, his blue eyes narrowing slightly when he saw her.“I’ll call you back,” he muttered, ending the call.Aurora stood there, arms crossed, anger simmering beneath the surface. “How long?”Lucian sighed, already knowing what she meant. “Aurora—”“How long have you known?” she demanded, her voice shak
The Gold Maker Ex's Revenge Chapter 144: The Interview
Aurora barely had a moment to breathe.Between wedding preparations and handling company affairs, her days had turned into a whirlwind. But for the first time, she didn’t feel pressured.This wedding was different.It wasn’t an obligation, a contract, or a forced responsibility. This time, it was hers. It was theirs.She had chosen this path with Lucian because she loved him, and every detail of the ceremony reflected that. From the floral arrangements to the venue selection, everything felt magical.But even as she juggled everything, there was still work to do. Today, she had an important media interview representing the company, ensuring investors and clients that the transition of leadership under her and Lucian remained stable.Aurora arrived at the studio dressed in a tailored beige suit, exuding confidence. She had done countless interviews before, so she thought she was prepared.She was wrong.The first half of the interview went smoothly. The questions were professional—abou
