Chapter 41: Protect the Poor GirlLunch couldn’t have been more chaotic. Only Zen and Zara seemed to enjoy the situation until Cintia made an announcement.“Lavinia... why don’t you try the dessert? The pudding here is divine; it has a special ingredient,” Cintia teased, serving Lavinia a slice.“No!” Zara immediately shouted, alarmed as she grabbed the pudding. “This stuff shouldn’t even be on this table! What do you think you’re doing? Trying to get accused of attempted murder?”“I’ll eat it instead. It’s not going to kill me,” Samuel said, taking the pudding and having a spoonful.“What’s wrong? It’s just pudding,” Cintia said with a malicious smile, her eyes glinting with a strange light.“You know very well Lavinia has a life-threatening allergy to eggs and anything derived from them,” Zara said indignantly.“Let her be. If she wants to provoke me, that’s her problem,” Lavinia sighed indifferently, while Zen remained frozen by this new revelation.“That’s enough! I’ve lost my app

Cap. 42“Where are you? Everyone involved has already been gathered, except the one person you asked to keep confidential. Will you resolve this today?”“Where are they?”“At the service base on the outskirts of the city, at that ranch you know so well.”“Then keep them there. I won’t be able to go today.” He informed, watching Bayer discreetly, leaning to the side.“But isn’t the workday over?” He asked curiously.“Yes, but right now… I’m watching someone.”“Are you really that smitten with this woman?” He smiled, skeptical. “They say that after the first night, virgin guys want to spend their entire lives with the woman who took their virginity.” He mocked, laughing from the other side of the line.“Are you crazy? How could a guy like me be a virgin? Besides, I’m here because she’s handling Dimon’s case, and in less than a week, she’ll face the court with some accusations. I want you to get all the evidence we have filed away. She has little time to authenticate the evidence I’m goi

Chapter 43: "Interest in What?""Certainly, she is a very interesting woman," he said, smiling as if harboring a secret."I imagine how sad she must be... losing her sister in such a cruel way," Valmont sighed, pensively. Despite his words, both men kept their eyes fixed on each other while discreetly observing Lavinia, who shifted slightly, adjusting herself on the seat, still asleep.The rest of the trip passed in silence. Zen continued studying Lavinia with an almost hypnotic intensity; she seemed deeply asleep, oblivious to the attention she was attracting. Slowly, he ran the tip of his fingers along the soft curve of her cheekbone. An involuntary smile appeared on his lips as he admired every detail, as if he were gazing at a unique work of art, the most beautiful his eyes had ever seen.So immersed was he in his contemplation that he almost didn’t notice Valmont’s attentive gaze, observing him with an inscrutable expression, as if deciphering the thoughts behind every gesture."

Cap. 44: Without Humanity?"Ah, sure!" she replied, stammering slightly. "But I just woke up, and I haven’t prepared anything for breakfast yet..." she said, glancing around the room as if searching for something suspicious or out of place."First rule: enter the house. Second rule: assess the environment without drawing attention. Third rule: settle in and do a clean job," he thought, mentally revisiting the protocol that guided his actions. He never imagined that this girl would be the gateway to his next mission."It’s fine, I didn’t come for breakfast. I just wanted to see you and talk. I know the loss was very painful, and I couldn’t help but care about you, knowing you’re the sister of someone who meant so much to me," he replied, trying to soften the atmosphere with his presence."Yeah... it’s been really hard," she sighed, struggling to find the right words but unable to truly express how she felt. He noticed that she was making an effort to appear normal."Why don’t you wait

Chapter 45: Unprotected Girl?Zen arrived a bit later, finding her trying to cover the tear in her skirt, holding the fabric tightly as she walked toward the elevator.“What am I going to do now?” she muttered under her breath, pressing the elevator button quickly, praying no one would see her in this state.“What happened to you?” Zen asked, making her freeze. She shut her eyes and forced a smile, even though her face was red with embarrassment.“Looks like I need to buy better clothes. Hopefully, with this salary, I can afford some nice things,” she said nervously, biting her lower lip as she stared at the elevator panel.“Come with me,” he said suddenly, grabbing her arm.“What are you doing?”“I’m taking you to buy a new outfit. How can you walk in like this?” he asked, his concern evident. Lavínia averted her eyes, feeling even more flustered in the moment.“I’m not going anywhere right now. Do you think you own the company? I have a schedule to stick to!” she snapped, anxious.“

Cap. 46: "Did I Just Meet Mrs. Bayer?""He’s probably drowning in debt to look good for you," Zara smiled."Where is he? I want to return this blazer," Lavínia said, uncomfortable."Why don’t you give him a chance? He seems much more mature than any older man I’ve ever met.""For God’s sake, we have nothing in common!""He’s very promising, let’s admit it, huh?""I don’t know... It’s weird, you know... After getting married, the only man I was with was Evandro, and...""He never treated you the way you deserve. Honestly, he didn’t even care to protect or take care of you like this guy does. Let’s admit it—you’re shaken, aren’t you?" Zara asked with a cynical smile."Don’t be fooled; they’re all the same. The moment he finds out who I am, he’ll definitely want to bargain over me.""Only in bed," Zara joked as Lavínia walked out, holding the blazer against her chest.While they headed home with Samuel, Zen took a taxi to the rehabilitation center where his parents worked.He was well-kn

Chapter 47: "Is This Your New Home?"Lavínia woke up earlier than usual, got ready, and left without informing Zara or Samuel. She couldn't take the car either, so she called a taxi and headed out. She went to a neighborhood she already knew a little."Drive a bit slower," she requested while analyzing the area carefully until she spotted Zen. He was already dressed and walking in the opposite direction of her car. "Stop the car, please," she said softly, then crouched down so he wouldn't see her.She kept her eyes on him, noticing he was spinning a key on his finger until he stopped in front of a house and went inside."Looks like he’s not doing so bad now," she sighed, looking around. The house had no more furniture; everything had been cleared out during the same night while everyone was asleep."Not doing so bad?" Lavínia said as she entered, leaving him stunned as she curiously surveyed the place."You?" he murmured, narrowing his eyes as if he were dreaming at an inopportune mom

Cap. 48: SuspeitosLavínia waited outside, unable to contain her anxiety. After all... what had he managed to get? She couldn't help but smile skeptically, thinking he was trying to take advantage of something."Are you ready?" he asked, stepping off the porch and showing her the brown envelope, just as the gate to the neighboring house opened, and an elderly woman hunched over appeared."Good morning, sir..." she said in a slow voice, approaching the two of them. "What happened to the girl who lived in this house until yesterday?" she asked, and Zen's Adam's apple bobbed aggressively, but he quickly composed himself."Ah... the young lady who lost her sister in a tragedy?""You know her, I saw you at her house twice.""Yes, yes. After her sister's death, she wanted to move out and sell the house, you know... It was expected that she wouldn't want to stay in this neighborhood, in the same house she lived in with her sister.""But how is that possible?" the woman asked, outraged. "She

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.

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
