“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

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

Cap. 60: Shy Gestures"What are you talking about?" Lavínia asked, genuinely curious."One day, you mentioned something interesting—the reason you truly started practicing law. What was it?" Zen pressed, his eyes fixed on hers."Oh... that?" Lavínia averted her gaze, a sad glimmer in her eyes. "It’s a bit of a complicated story. I had left home that day.""You too?" Zen asked, surprised."What do you mean?""Go on.""I had discovered that my father had used his legal expertise to take everything from my mother, so I left with nothing. While I was walking down the street at that hour, a few meters away, I saw a young man struggling to walk, and right behind him, a man was following. At first, I thought he was running away, but then I realized he hadn’t even noticed the man, who pulled out a knife and lunged at him. I didn’t think twice and ran toward them. When the man stabbed the boy for the first time, I grabbed a rock and, before he could stab him again, I struck him hard on the hea

Chapter 61: From Always, We Were."I was curious about that day, but I couldn't go back to the hospital. I wanted to know how you ended up in that situation," Lavínia confessed, her voice a silken thread as her eyes sought his."I lost my memory after that incident. Everything before that was gone for me—except you. You stayed here in my mind, even now," Zen replied, his deep, husky voice echoing in the humid bathroom."Why?" she asked, uncomfortable, her gaze shifting to the droplets of water trickling down the wall."Because I wanted you," he said, sitting up, water streaming down his body as he looked at her with an intensity that made her shiver. "It's pathetic, isn't it?" He smiled, a bitter smile that revealed the depth of his feelings."You held onto your feelings for me all this time? What did you want, to have some fun?" Lavínia questioned, her voice trembling."No, I fell in love with you. I'm tired of saying it over and over. Since our first night together, I can't get you

Lavínia’s eyes sparkled with an intensity that left him breathless. Before he could react, she leaned in and kissed him with intensity."Wow..." he moaned, tilting his head back. The sensation of her warm lips on his member was intense, almost painful. The position they were in now allowed him to admire the perfect curve of her back, from the base of her neck to the curve of her buttocks, which rose provocatively. "Lavinia..." he groaned, feeling his muscles tighten. He grabbed her hair, gathering it into a long, brown ponytail, holding it tightly, feeling an explosion of sensations like never before.She rose again with triumph in her eyes, confidence radiating from every pore of her skin. Adrenaline pulsed through her

The intensity of the previous night left her feeling a little dizzy, but it was a pleasant sensation."It wasn’t me who was supposed to cook for you?" he asked, breaking the silence."Since we’re going to live together, we can take turns, right? I still have a few things to sort out," he remarked thoughtfully as she got up with some difficulty."Damn... what have I gotten myself into?" she murmured, more to herself than to him."Someone who knows how to cook and do a lot of things very well, right here," he said, placing a plate of food in front of her, a satisfied smile on his lips."We’re going to Alpha Corp. Keep being discreet. Relationships are forbidden there.""What kind of company does that?" he asked curiously."It’s a precautionary measure. All employees must maintain professional conduct,

Chapter 64:"What the hell is going on? Why haven’t they put out that damn fire? She didn’t deserve an ending like this..." one of the lawyers protested, his desperation clear. His eyes were red from crying."We won’t even be able to properly pay our respects, Mrs. Bayer!" one of the female lawyers shouted hysterically. Everyone was still panicked, their faces twisted in pain and anger."She didn’t deserve to meet such an end," another added, his voice choked with emotion."No, we’re not letting this slide! We’re Mrs. Bayer’s lawyers, aren’t we? We’re one of the best law firms out there. Together, we can see this through. I don’t care about getting into a dangerous fight. We warned her so many times. We knew this could happen, but she never listened...""We’ll see this investigation to the end. Dimon will rot in jail if it’s the last thing I do," Samuel announced furiously, his fists clenched.Suddenly, the large glass door swung open, revealing Lavínia. Pale but resolute, she stepped

Chapter 65: My Desire Is to Have It All!"Mrs. Bayer, it's so good you're here! Have you heard the news?" Zara approached her excitedly, but Lavinia raised her hand, signaling her to back off. Her eyes, once full of life, now carried a chilling coldness."What’s wrong with her now?" one of the lawyers asked, perplexed. Like him, everyone was intensely curious. Lavinia’s change in demeanor was drastic."As we all know, this tragedy occurred, and... no one knows that the person who died in that fire was Lavinia Bayer, the owner of the entire Alpha Corp empire," Lavinia's voice echoed through the room, dripping with cruel irony."Why don’t you get straight to the point?" Samuel asked, stepping forward and meeting her gaze with defiance. But she smirked disdainfully, revealing a side of her personality no one had seen before."I’m saying this company will crumble when everyone finds out Lavinia Bayer is dead.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
