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

Chapter 19: A StalkerLavinia was dragged to a blind spot where the light was scarce. The man let her go abruptly, but she held onto the wall, her nails leaving red marks in the paint. The air was damp and heavy, carrying a metallic smell that made her shiver."How long are you going to keep bothering me?" he asked, his voice low and hoarse echoing in the hallway."Until you understand that I won’t give in!" she asserted, her voice firm despite the fear consuming her. She pushed him with all her strength, but he grabbed her by the neck, pressing his forehead aggressively against hers. His eyes, dark and piercing, stared at her with a hatred that seemed to grow every day, as if she were the cause of all his problems."Have you forgotten our last fight? You don’t have the upper hand," he commented, his voice threatening."I might not have the physical advantage, but you can be sure that as long as you keep intimidating me, I won’t let you get anywhere!" she shouted, her voice faltering.

Chapter 20: Updated LieLavínia stared at Zara alertly as she became frantic, her eyes darting around the room."Well... I’m leaving," Zara mumbled. "Feel free to talk, I hope this issue gets resolved, and you can get back to work." She said, grabbing Samuel's arm and dragging him away from the chaos."Why do they think he’s the father of the child she lost?" Samuel asked."Her parents saw him with Lavínia twice," Zara informed him as she continued to drag Samuel.Zen, for his part, was still standing near the door, watching Lavínia’s parents who were now sizing him up as if they were preparing to evaluate him. All he could do was stare at Lavínia with questions in his eyes but without the chance to ask them."How did you two meet?" Lavínia’s mother started the conversation, but Zen looked at Lavínia, waiting for her to say something."So, you’re together, right?" her father asked next, stepping closer to Zen. "Hello, young man, my name is Fausto, I’m Lavínia’s father and also a lawye

Chapter 21: Zen Quits the JobLavínia stared at him, intrigued. The dim light of the library highlighted the shadows on his face as she tried to decipher the young man's intentions."Do you think Mrs. Bayer is disturbed, by any chance?" he asked, his voice laden with indignation, leaving her unsettled."Everyone here worships her, but since yesterday, when I came in and saw these letters, horrific and macabre gifts—among them even locks of hair and things that really shouldn't be kept—it made me think about what this woman must be going through," his voice echoed in the silence of the warehouse as his eyes scanned the shelves filled with boxes and objects."She’s not that bad; she has everything," Lavínia commented, forcing a smile."No, someone who receives so many hate letters and malicious gifts will never be truly okay. Plus, now she hides. Otherwise, I would have seen her by now. Mrs. Bayer is certainly someone I could get to know and try to understand," he said, moving closer, h

Cap. 22: A Recycler?Zen approached her, still holding the books and a few pens he had picked up from the ground."What a strange thing to throw away, isn't it?" she mumbled, uncomfortable."What are you doing here?" he asked, still confused."I wanted to come tell you personally. My parents were causing problems, but you didn't leave the company, so you need to go back to your position so you won't be fired for cause.""Go back?" He smiled, bewildered. "I don’t even fit in there, I shouldn’t be there, and I don’t even know how I ended up there.""But you are. If you want this opportunity, it's still yours. Otherwise, just give up. I'm telling you so you can choose your destiny." She said, turning her back to him but then suddenly stopping and looking him up and down. "Still... I believe you need this job. I don’t know why anyone would be picking up old stuff from the trash like this," she finished, shrugging and walking away."Just what I needed." He murmured under his breath, until

Cap. 23: Signs of UnbalanceHe couldn’t hear everything, and ran to his room, feeling an aggressive wave of nausea that made him vomit, while a growing hatred filled his chest. His parents heard a loud scream and something breaking, but didn’t go in to check on him. At that moment, not only was he shaken, but also his mother and father, as they knew how much Zen had protected that girl.“He’s having an outburst again, let him be,” Zen’s father said, holding his wife’s arm when she tried to go to the room.“I know how hard this must be for him, after everything he’s been through... and not even remembering any of it, but I believe he could use some support in these moments,” she said, anxiously.“The girl he was protecting was killed after being abused. What do you think about that? There are no words for that,” she said, still listening to the noise.Zen kept pounding on the mirror, grunting in pain, but he seemed to find some satisfaction as his fingers were torn apart. He did this o

Cap. 24: Friend? The "Jaguar" Friend.The elevator door opened, revealing the waiting room. Bayer, elegant and impassive, observed the scene. Samuel and Zara, leaning against the wall, exchanged a knowing look, a malicious smile curving their lips. Zen, with firm steps, crossed the room, his shoulders tense."Hello, madam..." Cintia, the psychologist, tried to greet Lavínia as Bayer, but was interrupted by Zara, who, with a quick motion, pulled her into a tight and desperate hug.Cintia was surprised by the show of affection, as it was unusual, given that they didn't get along well. Her eyes, behind the lenses of her glasses, revealed a certain unease. Zara, taking advantage of the proximity, whispered something in Cintia's ear, a shared secret that made the psychologist smile as she looked at Lavínia. Zen, feeling more and more uncomfortable, shoved his hands into the pockets of his suit, keeping his eyes distant from Lavínia, who was staring at him with concern, but he hadn’t notice

Cap. 25: This isn't for me."What are you saying?" Lavínia questioned, raising an eyebrow defiantly. Her eyes glittered with restrained anger."That's right!" Zara smiled, a false and cruel smile. Hiding behind the two interns as if they were shields, she continued, "As your superior, I order you to wash the floor of the courtyard and remove all the moss. And as you know, I am your superior. But if you want to leave it as it is and give up, you'll be fired before you’re even officially hired. You have the freedom to choose."Lavínia laughed, a short and bitter laugh."Freedom," she thought sarcastically. "What kind of freedom is that?""I know what freedom I’d want right now, but I'm sure the law forbids it." She approached Zara, her eyes fixed on hers. Her friend took a step back, surprised by Lavínia’s audacity. With a wicked smile on her lips, Lavínia turned and walked out, leaving Zara and her shields stunned."Zara doesn’t know the mess she’s getting into with her behavior!" Laví

The Heir of My Enemy Is My Secret Lover. The Family Secret
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.

Chapter 125 - Secrets, Shadows, and Unexpected EncountersShe observed for a short moment before stepping back and calling someone."Darling, you won’t believe this, but I found her," she said while heading toward the elevator booth, barely noticing that she had passed by someone familiar."What is that woman doing here?" 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
