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

Chapter 49: The Case Will Be Won"Where did you buy these suits? They’re really nice, tailor-made, and... so intricate," she commented, examining them."My friend bought them at a thrift store.""The thirty-thousand-dollar watch too?" she asked with irony in her tone."The truth is, it’s all borrowed. Do you think I would have these things? He’s happy that I’m in such an important company and said appearance mattered, so he lent them to me.""What is he? A billionaire?""Yeah... I think so." He pressed his lips together, shrugging."And he still talks about me? Because I benefit from my rich friend?""He didn’t give me these things, he lent them to me. But I don’t live off of him; I still work and take care of my stuff. Besides... I thought you were interested in reading the documents I managed to obtain.""Of course!" she confirmed, sitting on the bed and pulling out the evidence from the envelope, tossing them onto the bed. At first glance, Lavínia was speechless when she saw everyt

Cap. 50: Don’t You Remember?“What do you want?” Lavínia asked, feeling her hands tremble.“I’m the only one taking care of her. If it weren’t for you, her illness wouldn’t have progressed so quickly. Do you know how many millions I spend on treatments and research just to ensure the disease doesn’t advance?” she asked in a restrained voice.“All you’re doing is fighting the inevitable. Just let it go, daughter… It’s not that I don’t care about her, but all that money is being wasted.”“And that’s why you decided to stop the treatment and let her wither away without my consent?” she asked angrily.“You’re spending it all unnecessarily. I’ll find out where she is and put an end to this absurd, meaningless treatment! Can’t you see your situation? You’ll lose that case against the prosecutor, your company will collapse in the media, and you’ll be accused of defamation. No one will trust you again!” he declared.“If you don’t believe I can win, then you shouldn’t say you want to stand by

Chapter 167: The Final Chapter"This is so strange..." she murmured to herself, as if everything were upside down, or as if it were a dream. She simply stepped back and sat in the chair with her daughter in her arms.Lavínia felt her heart racing as she held the little girl. It still felt like a distant dream, an illusion her mind had created to ease the pain of the past few years. But there she was: soft skin, golden curls, and eyes that resembled Cedrick’s, yet held the same intensity Lavínia saw in the mirror."Mommy..." the little girl murmured, stretching out her tiny hands to touch Lavínia’s face. Instantly, tears streamed down Lavínia’s cheeks, uncontrollable."You called me..." Lavínia whispered, but her voice broke midway through the sentence, overwhelmed by emotion.Cedrick stepped closer, resting his hand on her shoulder, his eyes filled with something between tenderness and guilt."She already knows you, Lavínia. I made sure of it. Every night, when she asked about you, I

Chapter 166: The Unexpected ReunionShe began watching the recordings. The cameras had been installed on the same day she was admitted to the hospital, and as soon as the footage started playing, her eyes filled with tears. Cedrick himself had installed the cameras."I knew it… You were there. You never truly abandoned me!" she murmured, unable to hold back her tears.She fast-forwarded the video, watching as he cared for her every day, tending to her skin, her nails, her health. But the more she advanced through the recordings, the more something unusual caught her attention. Everything started to become clear. She sped up the video even more, noticing her growing belly until she realized, she had been pregnant. But she never got to see the child. The last footage of Cedrick showed him on his knees, crying at the foot of the bed, as if something terrible had happened. She fast-forwarded a bit more, but there was nothing else. After that moment, he stood up, kissed her face, and left

Chapter 165: Until the Last SecondSamuel stopped in front of the door but hid, observing the two women through the small gap. He was surprised by Zara’s condition and how pale she was, but at that moment, he only wanted to listen to their conversation."I've been waiting for you all this time," Zara said with difficulty, while Lavínia kept her distance, watching her."I'm sorry for what I did to you...""No one knows what I really discussed with that man the day the accident happened," Lavínia interrupted, and Zara fell silent. "Why didn’t you open up to me? Why didn’t you tell me he was forcing you to do it? He told me he wanted to kill me once and for all, but you said you would do it. You could have told me, and... you know that, in the name of our friendship, I would have done everything to save you. But you chose the worst option. If you were hurt by me, you shouldn't have gotten close to me and deceived me. I truly believed in you as my best friend, the only one who was ever so

Chapter 164: Awakening and Unanswered QuestionsAnother month had passed. As always, Ronald went every morning to perform Lavínia's routine examinations. It had been a week since Samuel had finally returned, and he was now staying at the hospital, catching up on everything that had happened."I still don't understand. Why did he leave like that, just out of nowhere?" Samuel asked, confused."I don't know either... He was just exhausted. He spent months taking care of her, and as soon as she stabilized, he left. Supposedly, he needed to rest.""Maybe… But I really didn’t think he would be that kind of person. He promised he would stay with her until the end," Samuel said, disappointed. Ronald only pressed his lips together and sighed."Can you keep this a secret? Can you not tell her about the time he was here with her?""But… How am I supposed to do that? She will definitely feel hurt knowing he didn't care.""Just do it. Tell her he disappeared and left. How do you think she’ll feel
The Heir of My Enemy Is My Secret Lover. 163: The Silent Farewell
Chapter 163: The Silent FarewellThree months had passed with great difficulty. Lavínia's pregnancy was becoming increasingly complicated. These had been the hardest months for Cedrick and also for Ronald, Lavínia’s doctor and friend. Both were exhausted and had dark circles under their eyes, the result of the many relapses she had suffered and the repeated threats of miscarriage."Prepare yourself for what might happen," Ronald warned apprehensively."I won’t prepare because I’m not going to lose either of them. You’ll make sure of that, right?""How many times can she hold on to the baby? And for how long? She won’t make it! You have to choose. If this pregnancy continues, you could lose both of them!" Ronald stated firmly."I’m not ready… There’s so little time left until she reaches seven months… They’re both holding on! Please… Don’t give up on them. Lavínia will wake up… She won’t carry another burden like this.""As a doctor, I’m only looking out for her well-being. If she does

Chapter 162 - A Promise KeptZara remained silent for a few seconds before pointing to a notepad and pen. Cedrick handed them to her, and she wrote down an address. As soon as he took the paper, he rushed out of the room. Leaving the hospital behind, he called Valmont, who was closer to the indicated location.When he arrived, the place was already surrounded by police cars and an ambulance waiting nearby."I came as fast as I could," Valmont informed him just as the gates were broken down, no one had come to open them."Supposedly, everyone must have left and abandoned her," Cedrick commented, running inside, feeling the weight of the situation and fearing it was too late.Mery was found in an improvised hospital room. She had been there for three days without medical assistance. The house had been abandoned all that time, and her skin was pale, her lips cracked from dehydration."She’s still alive!" one of the paramedics announced as they placed her on a stretcher to rush her to the

Chapter 161: A Second Chance“She could stay in this state for years, but there’s another problem, and I didn’t want to tell anyone except you.”“What’s happening?”“Come more often and stay by her side. Maybe it will help her, and who knows… with a lot of luck, your daughter might survive too.” He explained, trying to contain the tension.“What do you mean? Are you saying she’s pregnant?”“Three months along. We performed some detailed ultrasounds, and… it’s a girl. But she might not have a chance to survive. And even if she does, early pregnancy is very delicate, and she… she might be born with some complications due to what happened.”“Wait… You’re telling me she’s carrying our child? Me, her, and… a baby?”“That’s right. Still, both of them are at risk of not waking up. I haven’t told anyone else about the pregnancy to avoid further distress. But you are the father of the child she carries, and you deserve to know, because now, they only have you.” He warned, then left, leaving Ze

Chapter 160: The Unexpected Betrayal"Of course, I know. I found a will in Dimon's email. He was handling a rather peculiar contract, but I only found an unsigned copy. Romanov was well-prepared.""What did it say?""At this very moment, all of Romanov's assets, including Alpha Corp, have already been transferred to another ownership. But no one knows to whom.""What are we going to do?""Keep working until everything starts to collapse," she said indifferently.She said goodbye to Samuel and headed to the parking lot. Getting into her car without a care, she started driving. Suddenly, she noticed a shadow rising from the back seat. The man was wearing a hat, but he quickly removed it."You scared me!" she murmured, slamming on the brakes. "HR manager, Axel? What are you doing here?" she asked, trying to open the door, only to realize it was locked."I thought you'd want to see me again," he commented, taking off a wig and peeling away a second skin that concealed his true face.At th
The Heir of My Enemy Is My Secret Lover. 159: The Courtroom’s Final Verdict
Chapter 159: The Courtroom’s Final Verdict“What is she talking about?” people whispered in confusion as Lavínia organized the papers on the table.“Ladies and gentlemen, the court has a solemn duty to ensure that justice prevails, regardless of circumstances or the power of those involved. The case before us today is a clear example of how the truth can be distorted by hidden interests and manipulations.”Lavínia’s voice was firm, echoing throughout the courtroom.“Initially, all the evidence pointed to Cedrick Romanov’s conviction for serial murder. For days, we analyzed testimonies, documents, and evidence presented by the prosecution. Given this information, this court was inclined to sentence the defendant to 30 years in a maximum-security prison.”She paused, looking directly at the audience before continuing:“Yes, I said ‘was’.”Viktor Romanov lost the gleam in his eyes at that moment. He knew this wouldn’t end here. Lavínia’s gaze on him was like a sharp blade, declaring that
