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

Chapter 33: Following Their StepsHe finally entered his home, the key turning in the lock with a familiar sound. The envelope in his hand felt heavier than it should, and his anxiety grew with each step. But as he stepped into the living room, his parents were waiting for him, their eyes gleaming with excitement."Look at this!" his mother exclaimed, holding out her phone to him. The screen displayed an absurdly large sum in a bank account.Zen frowned, trying to make sense of their enthusiasm."What about it?" he asked, his tone indifferent."This man, Cedrick Romanov, he never forgets our institution. Every six months, he donates an enormous fortune! It's been so many years now." His mother's voice faltered, and a tear slipped down her cheek.Zen looked at the phone screen, trying to process the information."Isn't that a good thing?" he asked, attempting to sound interested, though he felt an odd sensation within. "He's been doing this for so long now that it's not even surprising

Chapter 34: Ready to Save Yourself.Zen didn’t interfere with the intrusion but watched as the two entered and moved closer to the door."Lavinia!" he heard the man assert, but he didn’t hear her voice—just the sound of something falling and shattering.She had just stepped out of the kitchen when she saw the couple in her living room."Why are you here?" she asked, stepping back, alarmed."You think you’ll be free of me? I already told you—you need to sign the damn agreement if you want to get rid of me. Is your peace worth less than everything you have?" he asked sarcastically."You need to let it go, and then we can talk about it. I’d be more than happy to sign your annulment agreement," she replied, glaring at the woman beside him, who displayed an air of arrogance."What are you talking about? Besides, I brought the document for you to sign," he said, pulling a paper from his suit pocket and tossing it near her. She bent down to pick it up without taking her eyes off him.She rea

Cap. 35: Covering the Mistake"He's here again?" Samuel asked, unfazed, as he saw Zen step out of the elevator right after Evandro and his partner. He watched as Zen subtly followed them, disguising his movements until they entered Lavínia's apartment. Then, he noticed a maintenance worker borrow a hat, cover his face, and sneak into the room."When you didn’t answer, he just entered the password. From now on, you either stay at my apartment or Zara’s—you’re not staying alone in your house anymore.""What is he? For God’s sake!" Zara exclaimed in panic, watching the footage from Lavínia's living room camera, showing Zen attacking someone in a fit of rage."He's terrifying!" Samuel pointed at the screen, still in shock. "What are we going to do?" he asked, while Lavínia stood with her arms crossed, staring at the footage without blinking."Erase everything related to this—every moment from their arrival to their departure," she instructed, her tone indifferent. Zara and Samuel exchange

Chapter 36: An Intern’s SuitLavínia returned to her apartment and began gathering what had been left behind, mainly the documents Evandro had brought to force her to sign. She quickly crumpled them up and tossed them into the trash. It felt as if she were covering up a crime.She spent the night in Zara’s room, where she slept, and in the morning, they went together with Samuel to the company."I’ll go buy coffee for the three of us," Samuel announced, glancing at Zara as if giving her a warning. Zara then grabbed Lavínia by the wrist."Why don’t we go together? We have time, you know," Lavínia suggested."No! I’ll buy it. It’s better if you don’t show yourself too much, or else I’ll hire bodyguards. Do you really want to come?" he asked. She shrugged, glaring at him before walking off with Zara, who led her to the elevator. Once they were gone, Samuel asked one of the interns to buy the coffee, and he stayed at the reception area, waiting.That’s when he saw Zen walking through the

Chapter 37: The Mission Isn't OverPanic radiated from Zara and Samuel's eyes as they stared at each other. Samuel grabbed her tightly, pressing his hand over her mouth."As I told you, your shift is in the afternoon. Besides, why are you fighting over a younger guy? Are you interested in him? And don't forget: Lavínia owns this place. Do you want to lose your job and never get another one? The only person who can ruin your career is her, and she does it without hesitation," he said, his smile turning dark as the threat in his words intensified."A whim? Doesn't seem worth that much, does it?" Zara retorted with an ironic smile."Good morning, professor," Zen greeted her with a nod."Good morning, Zen," she replied with a grumble, averting her eyes. The irritation was evident, and he noticed it right away."I couldn't warn you earlier since I was thrown into this at the last minute. But I thought a company like this would have more organization when it comes to changes like this," he

Cap. 38: I Want Your ProblemsMr. R frowned, feigning surprise.“That’s not possible. That case was in the hands of the owner of the firm.”"Are you talking about Mrs. Bayer?" Zen asked, his voice now lower."Exactly." Mr. R nodded, a faint smile on his lips."Well, she dumped it on a rookie intern and... I’m working alongside her on this case. There’s no chance of winning. I can’t act as a lawyer—just an assistant.""Why don’t you take the bar exam? You’ve had private tutors since you were twelve. I can arrange everything for you." Mr. R proposed."Go to hell! I only studied that because you forced me to. I’m not going to practice law just because you wanted to have a tool to cover up your dirty work." Zen shouted, his anger blinding him."Then figure it out yourself. Remember, that man was your mission. If you really want to prove yourself, make that woman win this case, and I’ll handle the rest once he’s behind bars." Mr. R said with an unyielding tone."How is she supposed to hand

Chapter 102: The Worst Enemy Has a Name and a Surname“What happened there doesn’t matter anymore as long as I’m fine,” Lavínia stated firmly.“Even so… I know that meeting wasn’t planned for either of you, but you know what’s even stranger? Mr. Romanov never told his son who Lavínia Bayer really is. He literally still has no idea who you are. It’s like he did this on purpose,” Samuel observed, intrigued.“What could be going on? I think, as a precaution, you should tell him the truth,” Zara suggested, worried about the situation.“That guy… Zen or Cedrick, whatever his name is, has nothing to do with me anymore, and we have no reason to speak to each other,” she said sharply, making it clear she didn’t want to discuss the matter any further.“Okay…” Samuel sighed, thoughtful as he glanced around the mansion. “We need to keep this completely secret for now. No one can know you’re living here,” he warned, as if an important thought had just crossed his mind.Meanwhile, Valmont was on h

Chapter 101 – A Mysterious Move"A special dinner is being announced. Mr. Romanov is throwing a party to celebrate his son's engagement, and it looks like I received an invitation too," Lavínia commented dispassionately, showing the email on her phone to her friends."Are you kidding? Why are they doing everything so fast?" Zara asked, surprised.Samuel approached and sat down next to them, curious. "Are you planning to attend this event?" he asked, looking at Lavínia."Where has he been? Has he returned to Alpha Corp?" Lavínia inquired, referring to Romanov."From what I've heard, he's been going in as if nothing happened," Samuel informed."That's strange. I thought he would never set foot in Alpha Corp again," Zara commented."So did I. When he returns, are you going to fire him?" Samuel asked Lavínia."He doesn’t know that I’m Mrs. Bayer. If he wants to leave, he can do it on his own. But if he stays, he’ll have plenty of reasons to walk out. I don’t care what he does anymore. I n

Chapter 100 – A Hidden Truth"When were you planning to tell me what’s going on?" Samuel asked, his voice filled with reproach as he opened the envelope containing their medical exams."I wasn’t hiding anything, I was going to tell you..." Zara muttered, her head lowered, drawing a worried look from Lavínia."What’s happening with Zara? And why did you decide to return to the city so quickly?" Lavínia questioned, her voice edged with surprise and anger."Because this is the best place for both of you. In our old town, there aren’t doctors equipped to handle your delicate conditions. When I took Zara to the doctor, I found out that she’s been treating a brain tumor for a year. It doesn’t seem to be progressing, but she still needs treatment to prevent it from turning malignant. But she’s been hiding it and hasn’t been undergoing treatment for an entire year. What do you think is going to happen?" Samuel directed the question at Zara, who looked away, unable to hold back her tears."Zar

Chapter 99: The Unspoken TruthZara stumbled backward, startled, and the jar shattered on the floor, its sharp sound echoing through the kitchen. The light flickered on, revealing a chaotic scene: glass shards scattered everywhere and Zara, pale. Samuel rushed toward her, concern etched on his face.“Don’t move,” he ordered, his voice firm, cutting through the silence. His eyes scanned the floor, assessing the extent of the disaster. The shards of glass sparkled under the light, like tiny malevolent stars.With careful movements, Samuel approached Zara, avoiding the glass fragments.“What are you doing?” she asked, her voice trembling. His proximity made her nervous, yet comforted her at the same time.He carefully picked her up, feeling the lightness of her body. The sensation of holding her in his arms was strangely familiar. He placed her gently on the cold marble table.“How can you be so careless?” he scolded, his voice softer than the tone he’d used before. His eyes shifted to t

Chapter 98 - The Secrets We Hide“We need to go back now!” Zara hurriedly warned. Lavínia, calm, continued getting ready as if nothing important was happening.“Go back? Being here feels so good,” she sighed, indifferent, her eyes focused on the mirror.“God… I can’t believe we did this!” Zara threw herself onto the bed, covering her face with her hands. The guilt and shame consumed her.“What are you talking about?” Lavínia asked, not understanding her friend's reaction.“Didn’t you realize what we were doing?” Zara asked, incredulous. Lavínia’s expression, however, was one of genuine confusion. “Samuel, we didn’t even care that he was a man. How many times has he seen you without clothes?”“Oh… many times, I think,” Lavínia sighed, as if recalling a distant memory. “He’s like my bodyguard. Although at first, I did it on purpose, it was a test to see if he was really focused on his work and took it seriously. And he managed to earn his place and rise in his career, becoming one of t

Chapter 97: Confessions and Revelations“How come? I didn’t see anyone.” Zara stopped, incredulous.“Are you sure?” he asked, a tone of irony in his voice, fixing his gaze on her as he stood in front of her with his arms crossed, his muscles accentuated by his short-sleeve cotton shirt with a small opening at the collar.“Yes, normally you always disappear when there’s a woman around, but I haven’t seen anyone these days.”“Oh... you haven’t seen any women?” he asked with sarcasm.“No!”“It could be, maybe I’m walking around with an angel. She’s as beautiful as one.” he sighed, while Zara kept her attention on his subtle smile, not realizing who he was referring to. Zara crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing in suspicion.“Who?” she sighed, placing a hand on her chest as if feeling her heartbeat quicken.“You’re so slow, I haven’t been seeing other women because I’ve been seeing one already, and she tends to put her foot in my face.” Samuel averted his gaze as though hiding something.

Chapter 96: The Unseen Secrets"Finally, you got out of that crazy department, huh?" Cintia said enthusiastically, guiding him into the room."Is this where I'll stay?" he asked, his voice laced with a mix of surprise and distrust. After all, why such a big and well-equipped room for him, all of a sudden? The room was spacious, with modern furniture and a stunning view of the city."Considering your specialization, you should've taken over this room a long time ago. We have a list of staff to attend to during your off hours as well. I'll warn you, the employees who work directly with Bayer are the most demanding. They become machines, I believe there's not one who doesn’t cause problems that could lead to stress or even a heart attack.""This woman seems really troublesome," he commented indifferently, though a strange sense of unease stirred inside him."You don’t know her?" she asked, eyeing him curiously."Not really," he replied, his gaze distant."Bayer really chose to hide well,

Cap. 95: The Love I SoughtWhen Cedrick opened his eyes, darkness enveloped him like a cloak. The smell of mold and dust was suffocating, mixed with a faint odor of metal that made him nauseous. He tried to get up, but a sharp pain ran through his back, making him groan. The walls seemed to move, shadows dancing in a macabre ballet. Where was he? What had happened?The memory of the argument with Romanov and the needle being driven into his arm came rushing back. A wave of panic surged through him. He was trapped.His father had taken him to the worst place. The image of Romanov smiling, with that look of triumph, appeared in his mind, sending a shiver down his spine, as his childhood memories came flooding back, taking shape in that filthy place.With difficulty, he managed to crawl to the door. His hands trembled as he tried to open the rusted doorknob. With each attempt, fear grew. The door wouldn’t budge. He started banging loudly, screaming for help, but his cries were lost in th

Chapter 94: A Web of Deceit"Are you already like this? Have you met his mother? What is she like?" Lavinia asked."She only gave us a room, thinking we were a couple. We were super uncomfortable, no bed, and she gave us a mattress to sleep on the floor. He didn't deny it, just smiled. His mom is so sweet, she treated me so well." Zara sighed, filled with nostalgia."That's good. I never met his mother, actually, I never even knew anything about his family in the years we've worked together. But I know he has a lot of emotional baggage; a lot happened to him while he was working for the state as a soldier." Lavinia said with anticipation."Ah... I know, he's always out having fun and dating different women, but what's funny is that it seems like he's trying to suppress something inside him." Zara observed, thoughtful. That vulnerable side of Samuel intrigued her."Maybe..." Lavinia commented, deep in thought. "You can use this time at his mother's boarding house to learn more about hi
