Chapter 11: Breathe and PretendShe was forcefully taken to the meeting room, and as soon as everyone settled into their chairs, she stood at the front with a stern look."We are a network of lawyers, and as you know, the Romanov company, despite being at the top of the country's economy, has shown signs of possibly engaging in illegal activities. You are all aware of this, so I don't understand why you're causing such a commotion. What do you want? For us to remain the same when all of this hits the media in the future? We're making progress without the Romanovs, but if we partner with them and carry an association like that, we’ll be destroyed along with their company someday!" she asserted, and those were the last words heard in the room. Then, she left, heading to her office.Still, one of the shareholders knocked on her door."Come in!" she called."Ms. Bayer, we still have a question regarding this issue. Mr. Romanov called me, and I asked him to address the matter with you. He

Chapter 12: Antipathy Toward YouThe HR manager simply observed Bayer without saying much. He continued organizing the papers, and after calmly placing them in the drawer, he remained silent while she anxiously awaited a response."I'm not up to date on the matter. What exactly are you asking, Ms. Bayer?" he asked, calm and composed, as if she had approached him in a friendly manner."You know how much I value every single hire. What were you thinking when you approved someone I would never allow into the company?" she questioned irritably."I don’t know what you’re referring to," he replied, confused."The employee Zen Obedon. Does that ring a bell?""Oh… He’s not one of your employees, actually. Zen Obedon is joining the mental health department, you see? Since I joined this company three years ago, I’ve noticed how the staff has been under immense pressure and stress—most of it coming from you. Long hours, exhausting cases, and rare breaks. Alpha Corp Lawyers should also care about

Chapter 13: Secret Relationship“Lend me your car keys; I need to take her to the hospital,” Zen pleaded with a look of desperation.“He told me you failed—your first failure in years—but you know he doesn’t tolerate failures. And now you’re disobeying… What is it? Was it with this woman you spent the night?”“And if it was?” Zen snapped, irritated.“She’s already caused you problems, and now she’s doing it again, even if unconsciously,” the man warned, handing Zen the keys.“I’m not going to run away; I’ll face the problem I’ve caused.”“Good luck. You know I try to help you as much as I can, but this is beyond my control now. You’ve been reckless. I can’t interfere in family matters,” the man said before turning and walking away.Zen placed Lavínia on the back seat of the car and headed to the hospital, sighing heavily several times, his worry evident. When he finally arrived, she was attended to while he paced outside, walking back and forth nervously.“Zen Obedon?” the doctor call

Cap. 14: Interested in Your Life“Lavínia has always been a very difficult woman to deal with, so it’s expected that she’d hide her relationship to keep her parents from interfering. She must really like you,” the doctor remarked. “She thinks she’s protecting people by keeping things hidden, which is probably why she hasn’t told you what happened two months ago. She was covered in bruises, and it was obvious someone had assaulted her to the point where she lost the baby, but she claimed she had fallen.”“Fallen?” he asked, a dark aura clouding his expression.“Anyway… she lost the baby during the first trimester, just shy of three months. That was two months ago, and she hasn’t taken proper care of herself or come in for follow-up exams. Now that she’s here, I can take care of that. If it’s not too much trouble, I’d appreciate your help for her well-being,” the doctor said, slightly anxious.“Are you close to her?” Zen asked, suspicious.“I’m a family friend and their doctor.”“Alrigh

Cap. 15: Who Punished You?"I'm not saying anything, we’ve arrived. Even though you're exhausted, we still have to work later," he warned, his voice tinged with exhaustion that contrasted with the growing tension between them. As she opened the car door, an ironic smile curved her lips."Good luck to you. I don't need to worry about that. Just go. Don’t you need to rest and return this car that's above your expectations for life? And just so you know, it's almost nine," she said with an arrogance bordering on cruelty, turning her back on him with disdain.He watched her walk away, her slender figure disappearing into the doorway of the building."Anyone who looks would think she’s something other than a woman riding on the back of her rich friend," he thought, a bitter smile curving his lips. Before he could start the engine, the car door opened, and three men entered, sitting in the back seats. The calmness with which they did so was more terrifying than any explicit threat."Drive o

Cap. 16: Standing Even While Dying"Sorry for the delay!" he announced, entering the room with a confident posture. His eyes scanned the group of interns, analyzing them with a calculating gaze."I heard they’re still going to set up the room for him, right?" Samuel asked Zara, his voice tinged with curiosity bordering on sarcasm."Yes, he’s still under evaluation, so he’ll be with everyone, but... with a different supervisor, Cintia!" Zara replied, a mischievous smile curving her lips."The... the HR goddess?" Samuel asked, feigning surprise."Exactly, Zen will share a desk with her, she’ll give him direct guidance, and the guy already got a good start at Alpha Corp by being next to the company’s most coveted woman, second only to Lavínia, of course." Zara sighed, pretending to feel sympathy."Cintia is below you too," Samuel remarked indifferently, walking toward the center of the room. "We don’t need to introduce ourselves again, my name is Samuel Devan, but you should call me Mr.

Cap. 17: You Hide, But I See YouTogether, they began carrying the piles of files, the silence between them heavier than the paper itself. With every movement, Zen’s pain intensified, but he ignored it, focused on helping Lavínia.They continued in silence, and this time she didn’t argue with him. She noticed he was very different from earlier in the day, even noticing a slight swelling at the side of his eyes. That look of disdain had been replaced by one of exhaustion, almost resignation.They were at the last pile when he let out a soft groan as he placed it on the ground."For someone so young, you're really out of shape," she commented, examining him more closely. But he didn’t even respond, sweating coldly, sighing heavily several times, trying to disguise the pain consuming him."It’s time, right? It’s time to go?" he asked, his voice firm, though a tremor betrayed him."Yes." She replied, still observing him. When he turned to leave, she noticed a small red stain forming on t

Cap. 18: So You Don't Hear"What are you doing here?" He asked, slowly opening his eyes with difficulty. Lavínia’s hand, soft and warm, made him shiver. She seemed so fragile yet so strong, taking care of him like a mother. Her large, expressive eyes overflowed with compassion."How did you end up like this? You were fine just this morning." She asked, her voice soft to avoid disturbing the silence of the night.He blinked slowly, trying to focus his sore eyes. The weak moonlight filtered through the torn curtains, illuminating only a corner of the room. The air carried a faint smell of blood and disinfectant."What do you think you're doing? What if someone sees you?" He murmured, his voice hoarse."Does it matter now? I’m going to help you change those bandages and dress the wound. Actually, it’s better if I take you to the hospital. This is very serious. What happened to you?" She asked, trying to unroll the bandages around his arm.He smiled faintly, a bitter gesture."You... some

128 - The Family Secret“Lavínia is showing signs of her mother’s hereditary disease,” the doctor began, his expression serious. “We didn’t expect the symptoms to appear before she turned thirty. If I had predicted this... maybe we could’ve started treatment earlier to try to inhibit the effects.”“What do you mean?” Zen asked, the tension clear in his voice.“That, little by little, Lavínia may start forgetting who she is, what she knows, what she is capable of. Her neurons might begin to degrade and...”“But what about her mother?” Zen interrupted, confused. “Her mother lasted years, right?”“No... It’s not exactly like that.” The doctor sighed. “Lavínia’s mother went through an extremely difficult time in the beginning. The disease, in its early stages, presents itself very aggressively, until the body adapts to the changes. But when that happens, the person is never the same. They start a slow, but irreversible, walk toward death, from the moment the symptoms appear.”“How’s that
The Heir of My Enemy Is My Secret Lover. "The Unseen Truth"
127: "The Unseen Truth"While everyone at the recovery center was stunned and unsure of what to do, the cameras had recorded everything that had happened. The room was engulfed in a heavy silence as the footage was played again, as if trying to make sense of the inexplicable.Lavínia kept her gaze fixed on the screen, her face pale, her heart racing. She immediately recognized the woman who had entered her mother’s room. Her stomach churned at the thought of the worst, but she continued watching, and what she saw left her speechless: her aunt Eleonor, with a cold, determined expression, trying to suffocate Elena. The footage continued to show Zen, stumbling drunk, entering the room, grabbing a syringe, and injecting something into the woman, who then collapsed unconscious.“I-I…” Lílian tried to stammer, uncomfortable. “He didn’t kill her…” she added, her voice heavy with tension. “He only injected Elena with the medicine. Your aunt is sleeping in one of the rooms.”“Thank goodness…”

Chapter 126: "Fugitive in Search of Refuge"After paying for the taxi, he entered with her, who sat on the sofa.“What the hell… what am I going to do?” he asked, messing up his hair in impatience and staring at Elena sitting on the couch, her expression indifferent.“Are you okay?” she asked, swallowing dryly, her voice dragging.“You keep talking…” He sighed uneasily. “Why did you come here?”“I’m scared, I don’t want to stay there, and I don’t want to die,” she confessed, frightened.“Your daughter is going to cause a big mess because of you. Why don’t you go back? How did you get here without knowing where I live?”“I followed you and waited until that man left. I need you to hide me, please.”“Why?”“You saw… that woman, who I don’t want to call a sister, is trying to kill me. With my death, my husband can take the fortune that’s in my name.”“Damn, ma’am, your family really loves money.”“My daughter has millions saved in my bank account for my treatment.

Zen murmured, suspicious. Still, he wasn’t interested in finding out as he waited for his call to be answered."Valmont, send me the address where Mrs. Bayer’s judge appointment will take place. I remember it’s today, right? The newspapers won’t stop talking about it.""Are you thinking of going?""Yes.""But it’s a restricted event. Normally, only prosecutors and employees from her firm would attend… Oh, that’s right, you’re one of them. Still, you didn’t receive an invitation. You need one to get in.""Valmont, a closed door has never been a reason for me not to enter—you know that. Besides, I need to figure out the real reason behind Lavínia’s marriage. Have you f

Chapter 124 – A Narrow Escape“What do you mean?” Cedrick asked, confused. “I've never seen anything like this before. There was no woman more focused and attentive to her work than Lavínia. If she’s acting this way now, it must be because of what she's been doing lately.”“True... Besides, today is her appointment. She’s finally going to become the judge she always dreamed of being!” Zara commented—until she felt a tap on her shoulder from Samuel.“She’s becoming a judge?” he asked, frowning.“No! Actually, I got mixed up...” she mumbled, bringing her hands to her head. “I think I’m just as exhausted as Lavínia.”“It doesn’t seem like you got mixed up.” Cedrick retorted, suspicious.“You’re still here?!” Cedrick’s mother sighed, grabbing his arm and pulling him away from the two.“What’s going on?”“Where is she? I went to her room, and she wasn’t there!” his mother asked, fear in her voice.“Who? Mrs. Bayer?”“Yes, her…” His mother pressed her lips together, placing a hand on her ch

Chapter 123 – Shadows of the PastSamuel and Zara rushed into the room upon hearing her panicked scream. When they found her, Lavínia was curled up in the corner of the bed, while her phone, its screen cracked, lay in the opposite corner where she had thrown it.“What happened?” Samuel asked, trying to calm her down, but she didn’t say a single word.“What could she have seen that scared her this much now?” Zara questioned anxiously. “I keep saying… We need to disappear for a while, maybe go to another country and take a vacation. The problem with Lavínia is that she always insists on facing everything, but it seems like things are getting out of hand.”“I don’t know...” Samuel murmured in confusion, gently laying Lavínia down on the bed. She kept her lips pressed together, still in a state of panic. “What is that man’s motivation? What does he really want?” he asked, as confused as he was concerned, while Zara swallowed hard.“We should ask the doctor to give her a sedative.”“No! I’

Chapter 122 – A Game of Shadows“Well... I saw her a few times after that party,” he commented, swallowing hard, while Zen seemed to have asked on purpose."I'm afraid of a few things..." he confessed, ignoring Valmont's reaction."Of what?""Of losing the things I love. I know I shouldn’t love or get attached to anything—that’s how that man tried to raise me... but I can’t help it. I’m used to clinging to what I never had when I was younger. The day I woke up in that hospital after almost dying, I woke up with a new family. So, it wasn’t a bad day for me. I was only 14, and I didn’t have the cold mind I have today. But that time definitely saved me... or I would have discarded anything that had to do with humanity.”"I know... Romanov wanted to create nothing but a killing machine. You are one, but with feelings. You’ve learned to respect the people you love. But not everything goes the way we want. Things are getting out of control, and with this note, I’m almost certain you might b

Chapter 121 – The Trap"Hey, what are you—" Lavínia tried to step out, but it was too late.The elevator doors shut with a metallic thud, and within seconds, a thick white fog began to fill the cabin. Lavínia pressed herself against the wall, frozen for an instant. Her heart pounded as the chemical scent invaded her lungs, suffocating her.Desperate, she rushed to the panel, pressing the buttons repeatedly, trying to force the doors open or stop the elevator. Her hands trembled as her lungs began to fail. The fog spread rapidly, making every breath more difficult."Someone... help me..." she managed to whisper before a violent coughing fit overtook her, tears streaming from her stinging eyes.Meanwhile, Zen was still sprinting up the stairs like a madman, hearing only the muffled sound of his own footsteps and the deafening pulse of blood in his ears. He knew he had to get there before it was too late.Inside the elevator, Lavínia collapsed to her knees, her fingers still fumbling wit

Chapter 120 - The Silent Threat"She received that?" he asked, standing up."Where is she, and where is that note?""She’s better, she's working, and the note is back in the pile of gifts," she informed him.Cedrick immediately rushed toward the office.All the employees turned to him, confused by his abrupt entrance. He hadn't even realized how fast he had moved."Hey, assistant, what are you doing? I thought your shift was over," one of the women asked."Yeah... but I heard there's a lot of work here. By any chance... is that pile of stuff meant to be taken to storage?" he asked, pointing at the stack of mail addressed to Bayer."Yes, please, if you can... burn everything related to hate messages and gifts," one of them said, still tense. They were all scared.Cedrick grabbed a large box, dumped everything inside, and discreetly hid the envelope under his blazer. He carried the box to the storage room, where, after setting it down, he pulled out the letter and read it.It was exactl
