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 30: Saved by Him Once Again?"Don't tell me it was him?" she asked, frightened, but Samuel just signaled for her to stay silent while they watched the video.The three of them grew tense, observing without understanding what was happening until Zen hid behind a pillar, as if running from someone. Then, they saw a man crawling out from under a car, carrying a toolbox. Shortly after, they saw Zen heading toward the exit, but he paused and turned back, walking toward the car and inspecting every part of it.Lavínia was even more shocked when she saw him take a notebook and a cellphone out of his pocket. While answering the phone, he jotted something down in the notebook before hurrying off.Both she and her friends were left speechless."Him again..." she sighed, resigned, unsure of what to think as tears streamed down her face and her thoughts raced."This is serious. To him, it might have all been a coincidence, but this time, someone was really trying to kill you," Samuel comm

Cap. 31: The Man on My Tail"Don’t do this. You’re just giving him more ammunition to manipulate you and get what he wants. If that girl hadn’t died, judging by how much you cared about her death, I believe even she would’ve served his purpose. You get attached too easily." The man’s words echoed, heavy with accusation. Zen felt his body tense, his breathing quicken."If that were the case, I’d have sympathized with you already," he replied, his voice hoarse."But I’m not a woman. You only sympathize with women." The man smiled, a cruel gesture that twisted his lips. He then stood and walked toward the exit, leaving Zen alone with his turbulent thoughts."I’m waiting. Aren’t you coming?" he called to Zen once more, leaving him no choice but to follow.Zen was taken to the same building in the city center, where the morning mist obscured the towering skyscrapers. There, face to face with the man, he felt a mix of anger and helplessness. That piercing gaze, the carefully combed gray hai

Cap:32 Make you beg?'You again?' he asked, his voice rougher than he intended. He noticed her gaze traveling over his body, evaluating him.'Where have you been?' she asked, stepping closer.'At a funeral. And you, what are you doing here?' He didn’t wait for an answer, trying to walk past her, but she blocked his way.'Wait!' she pleaded, reaching out and grabbing the sleeve of his shirt. 'Why did you quit like that?'He turned to her, annoyed.'Can’t I? Isn’t it obvious I don’t fit in there?' The coldness in his voice was a shield.'Fitting in or not, you can’t leave. We have work to do. You didn’t even look at the case I’ll be handling in court. I’m going to need my team, okay?' she insisted.He let out a heavy sigh.'You’ll definitely find someone more capable. I couldn’t even dream of practicing law. That’s for people like you, who passed the exam and have been studying for years to do this.' He yanked his arm away forcefully, eliciting a cry from her.She looked at her hand, no

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
The Heir of My Enemy Is My Secret Lover. 124 – A Narrow Escape
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.

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
