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

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 59: Always Intruding"What I did, no rookie could accomplish, so it's not for any rookie. Do I look like a rookie to you?" Lavínia demanded, her voice firm and defiant. Her eyes sparkled with restrained anger, locked on Paula. The proximity between the two women carried an unmistakable tension."But... aren’t you a rookie?" Paula stammered, visibly intimidated by Lavínia's assertive stance. The younger woman's confidence seemed to shake the older woman's composure."Look at me and decide for yourself," Lavínia challenged, stepping even closer. Paula swallowed hard, averting her gaze."You... you're right. It's not for everyone, so... congratulations," Paula conceded in a low voice."What do you have in that bag?" Lavínia asked, her voice cold as ice. The mix of curiosity and distrust was evident in her tone."I brought him a clean shirt to change into. It’s what he

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

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…”

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.

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

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’

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.

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

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
