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 51:Zen remained silent, walking inside accompanied by his mother, who was still surprised.“How do you remember her if you lost your memory on the day you were attacked?” his mother insisted.“It’s not like I remember who my parents are. I only remember her because, before I passed out, she was the last person I saw. Even so, she doesn’t remember that I was the boy she saved that day.”“What are we supposed to say? What exactly do you have now?” his father asked, concerned.“Nothing yet, for now. I understand why she doesn’t remember me. It was just an unfortunate encounter, and ten years have passed. But I never imagined I’d meet her like this and that we’d end up working together,” he commented, smiling with satisfaction.“How did your paths cross?” Lilian asked, showing concern.“It’s very ironic. It’s as if we

    Cap. 52: You Won’t Have Anything.“What the hell is going on? Who is this Mrs. Bayer? Everything points to her being Mrs. Bayer. She has all this money, pays millions for treatments, and no one ever sees her in the office. My head is already hurting, but I have ways of finding this out without stressing over it,” he grumbled, standing up and heading to his room.“Do you think he’s in love with that woman?” Zacarias asked his wife, sitting next to her.“They can’t get close, especially knowing what that man said the day he was arrested. Zen can’t know that we followed everything to the end and how complicated it was for her to win the case.”“We don’t need to talk about that. Besides, he’s still in jail, and he won’t be getting out anytime soon.”“Still… it’s possible that the promise he made in the past will come back to the

    Cap. 53: Changing the Environment"Where do you think you're going?" Zara asked, sitting beside her."Nowhere special, I just want a place where they won’t find me." She sighed, thoughtful."Are you thinking about going to Dubai, Paris, Hong Kong... there are so many possibilities. Even if you don't succeed in this case, you'll still be a billionaire, so...""Are you too? You act like you don’t know me. I never lose a case! Mrs. Bayer is known for being invincible, remember? And I’m not going to lose that title to a corrupt prosecutor." She stated, annoyed. "Leave me alone!" she repeated firmly."I didn’t say you’d lose, but we have to think of all possibilities. Considering the information I have, it’s almost crazy for you to go to court with just assumptions.""Of course, you're right. You can leave now, I’ll deal with this mess later.""Are you really going to move?"

    Cap. 54: "We Live Together Now.""What are you thinking, Mr. Obedon?" Valmont asked, his piercing gaze fixed on Zen, who avoided eye contact, nervously running a hand through his hair."Is she sleeping? Did you drug her and bring her here? She's going to kill me! Do you know how angry that woman can get?""I've never seen her slap you," Valmont said indifferently, crossing his arms."She's a lawyer, Valmont! She could sue me, who knows?" Zen huffed, exasperated.Valmont laughed, a short, bitter laugh."And you can defend yourself, Mr. R already told you not to waste your law degree. How many things have you done in your twenty-four years? You're turning twenty-five next month and still have this empty head, you idiot kid!" Valmont asserted, giving Zen a light tap on the back of his neck. "And I still can't believe I have to serve a kid like you," he grumbled, shaking his head.Zen rolled his eyes."Bend down, servant!" he mocked, a sarcastic

    Cap. 55: I Don’t Need Love."Exactly what I expected is happening," she said with satisfaction, her eyes shining as she showed Zen the news on her phone. "The apartment is on fire, and the firefighters still haven’t been able to control the flames. The whole building has been evacuated, and one person is missing."Zen frowned, the news catching him off guard. "Don’t tell me that’s the apartment you were staying in?" he asked, his voice wavering slightly."Exactly. I knew he was investigating me. I noticed on the cameras that someone strange was always lurking around my apartment, making sure I was inside. So, I faked it with pillows to make it look like I was sleeping in my bed, and as soon as the guy who was watching me moved away, I slipped out in disguise and climbed down the stairwell. I was exhausted when I got here. The black smoke rising in the distance was proof that I was right, and he was trying to kill me."

    Cap. 56: Bayer's Victory"What did you think?" he asked, standing upright."It's funny. Why are you wearing those accessories?" she asked, but he walked toward her, placing the sunglasses on her face."Because we're about to mess with something dangerous, simple as that. The man we're going up against isn't easy, and he already burned down your apartment. How are we supposed to stay alive if he tries something again?""True, I don't want to die on the shore after swimming so far," she admitted, adjusting the glasses.As soon as they arrived at the courthouse, the two stopped in front of the grand staircase. Lavínia's chest seemed ready to burst with excitement, while Zen scanned the surroundings with restrained anxiety. They stood before the Court of Justice, an imposing building exuding seriousness in every detail. Zen studied the space around them, feeling the tension in the air."Since they think you're dead, no on

    Chapter 57: Afraid of Him?“So, they send a rookie lawyer and expect us to accept such a provocation? Where is Mrs. Bayer?” one of the lawyers asked, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow. Chaos reigned in the corridor: a whirlwind of people, scattered papers, and an air of hostility.“She didn’t need to come… with the criminal record this man has…” Lavínia commented, her voice dripping with irony as she regarded the lawyers with disdain. The mention of the charges against the man hit them like a slap. “Besides, he’s going to die in prison with the sentence he received.”“Well… we had prepared for Bayer’s defeat, considering she’s just a bitter woman who likes to stir up trouble within her own circle,” one of the lawyers retorted, a triumphant smirk on his face. Satisfaction gleamed in his eyes.“That’s fine. You’ll

    Ch. 58: Just MeLavínia stared at the redness on her hand, feeling her skin slightly irritated. Her eyes searched for Zen in the hallway, but he had already disappeared around the corner with the young woman."Paulinha?" she murmured, her fingers curling into her palm, a blush creeping up her cheeks."Is Miss Bayer jealous? Is that what I’m seeing?" Houston asked, a sly smile on his lips. Lavínia hesitated, her gaze shifting away from his."Of course not!" she replied, her voice louder than she intended."I’d be quite surprised if a woman of your stature, not just in beauty, was jealous of an assistant," Houston continued, leaning in closer."I’m not jealous. What are you talking about?" she insisted, trying to sound indifferent."Right. You handled him well. You should set boundaries for guys like him," he said, a glint in his eyes."What kind of guys?" she asked, feeling a twinge of irritation.

    Chapter 112: The Storm Unleashed"Just close your eyes and pretend you're asleep," Mery whispered to the boy trembling beside her, clinging to her as if she could shield him from the world."Is he going to hit you because of that woman?" his voice came out shaky as he buried his face in her chest."Don't worry, it's nothing that hasn't happened before," Mery forced a smile, but the fear in her eyes was as evident as the sound of heavy footsteps echoing down the corridor, drawing closer.The door burst open, and the room seemed to shrink under the overwhelming presence of Romanov, followed by a small entourage. Jenner stormed in right after, dramatically pointing at the woman lying on the bed."This woman hit me!" she accused, her voice laced with false indignation.Mery remained motionless, eyes shut, breath held, feigning deep sleep."How could she have attacked you?" Romanov asked, crossing his arms and fixing Jenner with a cold stare. "She's under the effects of sedatives.""You th

    Chapter 111 – The Poison of BetrayalShe stealthily followed the door to the room, approaching carefully until she heard a child’s cry for help:“Please, leave my older brother alone!”“What are you doing, Jenner?” Lavínia asked as she entered the room, shocked by the scene.“Please! She wants to hurt my brother!” the boy cried, clutching Jenner’s dress, but she pushed him away with a rough gesture.“Stay away from me! I’m not doing anything! I just want my fiancé back!” Jenner shouted, moving toward Zen, who lay sprawled on the floor, struggling to keep his eyes open.On the bed, a woman who had seemed to be asleep began to stir, groggy, trying to understand the commotion around her.“Jenner, what did you do to him?” Lavínia demanded, moving closer to Zen. He was trying to sit up but was so disoriented that he could barely move.“Nothing much! You all need to stop interfering in our lives! For your information, he’s my fiancé! And you…” Jenner’s eyes burned with fury as she pointed a

    Chapter 110 – Hidden TensionsLavínia grew more anxious with each passing minute of the dance, especially with Romanov’s hands on her. Her tension built up until Samuel approached them.“I believe I can steal our hostess for a dance, right?” Samuel asked with a polite smile.Lavínia nodded subtly, smiling discreetly as she stepped away from Romanov, leaving him frustrated. He was forced to release her, well aware of the numerous eyes watching them at the party.“Thank you...” Lavínia sighed softly as Samuel led her across the ballroom.“He still seems to be in love with you,” Samuel teased, casting a quick glance at Romanov.“We’ve been at a different level for a long time. The only thing he could possibly want for me now is death.”“You might not be wrong. Still... you’ve drawn quite a bit of attention.”“Yes. I need you to help me with something before everyone finds out who I really am.”“Most of them already know. The one who doesn’t is your lover,” Samuel remarked seriously, lean

When you went upstairs, I followed you and even covered for you when you entered the room with that woman.""What do you mean?" he asked, confused."Your father wanted to know where you were going and told me to go up and keep an eye on you. Let's just say he wants me to tie you down at any cost, and I wouldn’t mind trying. He even suggests that I should get pregnant as soon as possible. What do you think?""Is that what you want?" he asked, his gaze sharp."Actually, the night you spent with Lavínia was with me. And he hopes I managed to get pregnant that night.""What are you up to?""You owe me a night and a baby," Jenner said with a defiant look."I don't owe you anything. After all, you shouldn't have covered for me.""And caused a scandal? What you did before this wedding doesn't matter, but I really want to marry you. And not just because of my parents' pressure anymore," she confessed."Jenner... I told you, I have no eyes

    Chapter 108 - A Masked PresenceLavínia didn’t get a look at the car, just like Samuel, who seemed indifferent to knowing who was living in the mansion next door."Why are you so interested in knowing who it is? Are you wondering if it’s some rich young guy?" Samuel asked, drawing her gaze, which showed no reaction."Are you implying that I’m after a rich man? That doesn’t make any sense." Zara retorted, her voice laced with irony."Why are you two even arguing?" Lavínia asked, confused, noticing the tension between them. They quickly changed the subject to cover it up.There was still half an hour before the party when Zen arrived at the Romanov mansion. The living room had only a few guests, so he sat down on the couch, leaning back with a discreet groan of pain."Is Jenner here already?" he asked Valmont, who was standing nearby, observing the room."She’ll arrive with her parents. There will be quite a few important people here tonight, and your identity won’t be a secret to the m

Then, he composed himself, the white t-shirt clinging to his body, and left the office, forgetting the button-up shirt he had tossed into the sink. He had no idea how much time had passed, but the feeling of emptiness was strange. He put on his blazer, adjusting it over his shoulders, and headed for the elevator.When he reached the parking lot, Valmont was waiting, leaning against his car, his expression impassive.“What are you doing? Making sure I don’t run away?” Zen asked, irony evident in his voice.“You know, I’m responsible for making sure you fulfill your missions. And your obligation right now is to attend your engagement party,” Valmont replied, fixing his gaze toward the elevator, where three people had just stepped out. Zen turned to look at them.“Looks like wherever I go, she’ll be there,” he murmured, averting his gaze. “At least I won’t see her at th

When she noticed Lavínia clearing her throat in discomfort, she turned to her friend."What are you talking about?" Lavínia asked, pretending not to have heard, but her eyes couldn't hide her curiosity."I get it... I totally get it. How could he use you and now be engaged to someone else?" Zara remarked, her gaze fixed on Zen, who was distracted by his phone."You too?" Lavínia asked skeptically, trying to disguise the jealousy consuming her. "He didn't use me. After all, I’m the married one here, as far as I know. Go over there and make him do something else," she ordered, trying to sound indifferent, though the tension in her voice was evident."Why? It’s been so long since we had a... you know, a distraction? The girls could use a break like this, and what better than to just look and..." Zara trailed

If you want, you can bet, but if I were you, I’d get out of this company.” He muttered, his voice laced with frustration.“So, are you leaving then?” one of the lawyers asked, curiosity in their tone.“I haven’t found what I’m looking for yet,” Zen replied before walking away with firm steps.He headed upstairs. The moment he entered, it was as if the place had turned into complete chaos. Boxes were stacked in every corner, and prosecutors rushed back and forth, flipping through documents, trying to organize the mess.“Oh… Lavínia’s assistant has arrived!” one of the men announced with an ironic smile.“Ah, great. Assistant Obedon, we need you to take these boxes to the storage room, if possible, right now. We’re in the middle of reorganizing. With Bayer taking ownership of Dimon Enterpri

This is going to be so much fun," Cintia remarked, her gaze fixed on the trio entering the restaurant."What are you talking about?" He turned, facing the trio. His eyes met Lavínia’s for a few seconds before he quickly looked away, as if indifferent."Looks like I won’t be having a peaceful lunch in this restaurant," she commented, turning back to her plate and stabbing her fork into the food with boredom."You let trivial things like this affect your appetite? I’m starving," he said indifferently, enjoying his meal while Cintia simply observed.Lavínia, on the other hand, remained still, watching them from afar."So? I never thought we’d run into them this quickly," Zara commented, keeping her gaze on Lavínia, who seemed unaware of her presence."Should we go to another restaurant?" Samuel suggested to Lavínia, but she just shrugged and headed
