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

Cap. 26: Always the HelperHer eyes widened in horror. Without hesitation, Zen lunged forward, pushing her along with his body, and she fell onto him, away from the area. The pot shattered into a thousand pieces, the wet soil spreading across the floor. Lavínia, still dazed, looked into his eyes, not realizing what had just happened."Are you crazy?" she asked, still lying on Zen's body, slapping her palm against his chest. Her wide eyes followed his gaze, finding the broken clay pot on the floor. A tremor ran through her body. "Was that about to fall on me?""Not with me here," he whispered, relieved, but with a lump in his throat. The adrenaline still kept him on edge.Lavínia stood up, still tense and unmoving. The shock had left her speechless."It could have been an accident," she murmured, more to herself than to him."Could be," he confirmed, not believing his own words. He knew it hadn’t been an accident. Someone had thrown the pot with intention."It seems like I owe you a fa

Cap. 27: Bayer's Assistant?Lavínia had no choice. Even though she wanted to distance herself from Zen, it was as if he had glued himself to her like a shadow.“You don’t need to hold me so tight, okay?” she grumbled, trying to break free, but he kept her firmly against him. Finally, they managed to get into the elevator booth, and she pushed him hard, creating some space between them.“It’s not my fault you spent the whole afternoon attacking the floor with a broom because of your friend. I’m just helping you,” he replied indifferently, his voice full of irony. Her heels clicked loudly against the floor of the elevator, echoing in the confined space.“Why are you so annoying?” she asked, challenging him. But Zen simply looked at her with an ironic smile, pressing his lips together. The door opened, and they stepped out.Lavínia stormed out, throwing her heels to the ground. Zen picked them up with an exaggerated sigh.“You’re making yourself look like a child,” he commented, his voic

Chapter 28: Cut Cables"You almost had me worried for a moment," she whispered to Zara, her eyes locked on the other woman's. The confidence in her voice was evident."Don’t worry, I’ve changed your credentials. You won’t be Bayer that day. Considering they barely see you, I think the only problem will be the judge," Zara replied, leaning in closer, her smile almost malevolent."Relax, the judge is my friend," Lavínia said, winking back. The complicity between the two was clear."Then good luck, because the boy will be your assistant. How do you feel about that?" Zara teased, a glint of satisfaction in her eyes."About that, I’m going to kill you," Lavínia growled, her teeth clenched. Zara stepped back, a playful smile on her lips."Always so angry!" she teased, retreating before Lavínia could respond.Lavínia sighed, staring at Samuel. One week. One week to deal with Zen as her assistant and still face the court."I have a week to figure this out before the trial," she murmured, more

Cap. 29: Car on FireHowever, before starting the engine, she saw Samuel pull a note wedged between the front windshield of the car. Her expression of curiosity quickly turned to panic. Opening Lavínia's car door, he pulled her out. "Get away from the car!" he warned, pulling her away. Then, a flame ignited beneath the car, rapidly spreading through the gasoline traces. Samuel, with lightning speed, called the fire department before the worst could happen and the fire caused an explosion. The firefighters managed to contain the flames while Lavínia, pale and trembling, watched the scene from across the street. Sitting on a step, she clutched the tiny piece of paper, the message that had warned her before the chaos turned into tragedy. Her eyes reflected fear, confusion, and a growing sense of danger.Your car will catch fire if you start it.She sighed over and over, feeling drained. Samuel was once again taking care of everything for her."It’s done, they’ll investigate who did this,

Chapter 90: The Desperate Struggle"Alright, you need to wake up. I know you said we have nothing to talk about, but I have plenty to say."She tried to push him away, but he held her firmly."I don't want to!" she screamed, her eyes wide. The anger consumed her from within.Before she could react, he picked her up in his arms and carried her toward the cold water. The shock froze her for a moment."Hey! What are you doing?" she protested, her voice faltering.Zen threw her into the water, the icy sensation instantly waking her up. She struggled, trying to break free, but he held her tightly. Water splashed everywhere, creating a mist that obscured their vision."I've heard that water helps clear the mind," he said, a playful smile on his lips.She shoved him with all her might, getting out of the water. The thin dress was soaked, clinging to her body."My dress! You have no idea how much this costs!" she shouted, her indignation mixed with fury."I don't know, but it must be expensiv

Chapter 89: Amidst the ChaosHalf an hour earlier...“Lavínia seems really upset, doesn’t she?” Jenner asked, uncomfortable with Zen’s constant stares in her direction.“She does? I’m way more upset,” he commented, taking the wine glass and downing it in a single gulp.“You... I don’t understand the tense atmosphere between you two. Why did you take issue with them?”“For no reason,” he replied, still watching her, then shifting his attention to Bowen as he noticed Lavínia stumble discreetly.Bowen gave a malicious smile and slid one hand along her cheek and through her thick hair with a certain careless air, which made Zen more alert.Zara and Samuel stayed at a distance, both on edge, knowing Bowen’s aggressive behavior toward Lavínia and understanding that his kindness was an act.Zen pretended to be distracted as Bowen started glaring at him, then grabbed his glass and poured the white liquid out, while Mr. Romanov signaled his men in position.The waiter, with a twisted smile, de

Chapter 88: A Tense Confrontation"What’s going on? Are you confusing things?" Bowen asked, his voice trembling. Cedrick’s accusation had caught him off guard, and the anger in his eyes was evident."What are you doing?" Lavínia interrupted, her voice cold and cutting. Her eyes, once filled with love, now radiated disdain."I want to know, what are you doing here, and on top of that, next to this bastard? What’s this story about you being married to him? Is this for real? Weren’t you divorced from him?" Cedrick asked, his voice heavy with pain and resentment. His words echoed through the room, drawing the attention of everyone around."So what if I was married? What difference does it make? I just found out you’re engaged, right? Cedrick Romanov." She spat the words, each syllable full of contempt. The mask of happiness she had worn had fallen, revealing the woman who had been wounded and betrayed by the one she loved."That’s easy to explain, but how can you lie? Are you really marri

Cap. 87: My Girlfriend Is Married"Are you really trying to destroy your own son?" Valmont asked, his voice laden with frustration and disbelief. The idea of sacrificing his son’s sanity to protect an empire seemed absurd to him."He must marry Jenner. He was destined to do that a long time ago. Besides, Bayer, despite everything and her growth, became a problem when she took control of Dimon’s companies. Her lawyers are meddling with everything, trying to find a connection between me and him." Mr. Romanov spoke with the same coldness as always, as if discussing the weather."But I’ve already taken care of it. Nothing will happen. The only concern now is what you're trying to do," Valmont commented, feeling a tightness in his chest. With every word from Romanov, it became clearer the abyss separating them."You will do exactly what I say. Just don’t tell him that she’s Mrs. Bayer. He doesn’t need to know that the woman he’s sharing a house with, and is right now on the dance floor, is

Chapter 86: The Game of Truth“Wait... Jenner’s fiancé is Zen Obedon?” Zara asked, her voice low so they wouldn’t be overheard by the crowd. Her heart raced with surprise and excitement.“Actually, it’s Cedrick Romanov. We never could have imagined, but it was obvious a simple guy couldn’t afford a couture suit from another country,” Samuel sighed, thoughtful. He seemed perplexed by the revelation.“Lavínia is going to be shocked when she finds out who the guy was that she spent the night with. She just hit the jackpot of her life,” Zara laughed, but her voice was dripping with irony. She pulled Samuel away from the crowd, needing a moment to process the information.“Why don’t you two talk? Let’s choose a table and sit down,” Mr. Romanov suggested, his commanding voice echoing through the room. Jenner, with a radiant smile, held onto Cedrick’s arm firmly, demonstrating possession. Cedrick, in turn, felt a shiver run down his spine. He had completely forgotten everything around him wh

Chapter 85: The Prodigy and His Fate“Ah... how wonderful, we never knew she was married. I understand now, but I must say that thanks to this little argument, we’ve reaped great benefits. Thank you, Mrs. Bayer,” one of the men said, the irony dripping from each syllable. Lavínia shot him a deadly glance, but he just smiled, clearly pleased to have humiliated her.“Anyway... I hope our disagreements today can be overcome, since we’re back to what we were before,” Bowen remarked, but the tension in the air was palpable. The guests, uncomfortable with the situation, disguised their unease by drinking more wine.Meanwhile, in a more private corner, Zen Obedon and Mr. Romanov were the center of attention. The crowd gathered around them, eager for a glimpse of the famous prodigal son. Zen, however, seemed distant, his eyes fixed on the bottom of his glass, gently swirling it.“Finally, we can meet your son, Mr. Romanov. After years of knowing you had a son, and that he’s a prodigy, we’ve b

Chapter 84: A Glimpse of the PastBoth Zara and Samuel froze upon hearing Bowen’s words. Their eyes widened in surprise as they tried to decipher the meaning behind the statement. Turning to face him, they found a sarcastic smile on his lips and a velvet box in his hands. As he opened it, they revealed the ring—a unique model everyone knew well.“Do you remember?” Bowen asked, stepping forward with confidence. Lavínia, feeling her stomach churn, narrowed her eyes, trying to push the image of the jewel away.“What is he talking about? Didn’t you two break up?” Zara asked, her voice trembling.“Of course not!” Bowen declared vehemently, waving them off with a sharp gesture. Samuel, however, stepped in between them, blocking his path. “Ah, still playing bodyguard, you little assistant!” Bowen muttered under his breath, his voice low but filled with contempt.“Let’s not fight here,” Zara warned, her voice firm. “If something goes wrong, there’s no avoiding the press.”“Good, you know that

Chapter 83: The Locked DoorZen had no idea what Mr. R was planning besides the event. As soon as he arrived at the mansion, the servants were waiting for him at the gate and accompanied him, along with Valmont.“What’s happening now?” he asked, confused.“He doesn’t want you arriving all messed up at the event, so he wants to make sure you don’t go into that woman’s room, at least not today,” Valmont warned. Zen followed in silence, unsure where he was being led, until they stopped by a room he already knew well.“Am I going to visit someone, by chance?”“Actually, no,” Valmont answered, turning the doorknob. “This is your room, next to your father’s room.”Zen smiled skeptically, with a mocking air.“Don’t think I’m impressed, considering I already have all of this and more outside these walls.”“Still, you’ve limited yourself to a simple and poor life. You barely use the card you got. You should take advantage of all of this, since you’ve worked hard to get what you have today. Don

Chapter 82” The Man from the Past“For as long as necessary. It’s not the right time yet. After the event, I’ll tell him everything.”“And Evandro hasn’t bothered you again, right?” Zara asked, concerned.“Even after I ruined yet another business opportunity for him, he still hasn’t come after me,” she said with a victorious air.“You need to stop. This could be dangerous. The last visit nearly killed you, and the one before that gave you the worst experience of your life. When will you stop?” Zara asked, worry evident in her voice.“Don’t worry. If anything happens, I’ll press the button and be safe again,” she reassured, shaking the delicate stone bracelet on her wrist.“I hope we’re not too far for the worst to happen,” Zara commented.“But I still don’t understand. Why do you keep trying to undermine him?”“It’s not that I’m trying to undermine him. He’s trying to take everything I have, cutting ahead of me.”“He must be furious now that you’ve won another victory. Be careful.”“T
