Cap. 70: "A Mother Who Doesn't Love"Zen swallowed dryly, his throat as dry as paper. The words seemed stuck on his tongue, and with each passing second, the anguish grew. He forced a gentle smile and pulled out a chair, sitting next to her as if he could hide all the frustration he was feeling at that moment."Mother..." he sighed, his voice low and trembling. The word echoed in the room, filled with hope and fear.She placed her hands over her ears, as if trying to muffle the sound of his voice."No... Don't you dare!" she declared, her eyes wide."Alright, then why don't you treat me like your therapist? I've spent years trying to help you..." he murmured, unsure."What do you want? Throw it in my face that you've been trying to treat me for something you caused yourself?" she accused him, her voice heavy with anger."I didn't cause anything!" he asserted quietly, clenching his fists, but not in anger—rather in frustration."Why don't you leave me alone? Pretend I don't exist. Ten

Chapter 71: Above All Evil, Love"All that woman does is keep mistreating you," Valmont spat, the indignation clear in his voice."What could she possibly give me? Don’t you hear the things she says? And none of it is a lie. I’m just the product of abuse. How could she love me? Suffering for her is all I have left," Zen murmured, his head lowered as he traced patterns on the floor with his blood-stained fingertip."You need to take care of those wounds and go back there. How will you explain all these cuts to your girlfriend?""Car accident?" Zen asked with an apathetic tone. Valmont rolled his eyes."Tell her some guys attacked you. Even if it’s unlikely someone would beat you up, she doesn’t need to know the details. And how will you explain the car sitting untouched in the garage?" Zen sighed, guilt consuming him."I don’t even know how she believes me. And my adoptive parents... if they knew the recovery center shut down because of me, that my father was behind that tragedy... so

Chapter 72: A Copy of Me"Sir… we’re not allowed to talk about Valerie," the maid replied, her voice trembling, her eyes avoiding Zen’s gaze. Before he could press further, she turned and tried to run, but he grabbed her arm, stopping her escape. "Let her go," Valmont, who had been watching the scene from a distance, intervened in an authoritative tone. "I’ll tell you in detail what you want to know. Just ask." He released the maid, who bolted from the room, leaving behind a trail of fear. "Then tell me," Zen said, turning to Valmont, his eyes fixed on him, demanding answers. "Sit down. What are you doing? Do you live just to terrify all the staff in this house? No one even likes to look at your face," Valmont said, crossing his arms, the irony clear in his voice. "Do you think I care? I know that man’s mistress might try to poison my mother. I have to keep all of them in line, making sure they know that if anything happens to her, they’ll all pay, one by one. And they’d better wa

Chapter:73- "That room... the same one that was used to torture me has become a treatment room, isn't it ironic? What once caused pain now heals?" he asked, his voice hoarse and full of resentment as his chest rose and fell rapidly."Ignore it. I let that detail slide over the years you were away from this place, but it’s something that cannot be erased," Valmont said, pulling Zen away as if fearing he might fall apart.But they stopped halfway when they heard a familiar sound coming from the kitchen: the news. The two approached and stood before the television, their attention captured by the words echoing through the room."What the hell am I hearing?" Zen growled, rage bubbling inside him.On the screen, attorney Bayer was being announced as the big winner of the case, instrumental in Dimon's imprisonment. With each word, Zen's frustration grew, his fists clenching tightly."Seems like your efforts were just to boost Bayer. If Mr. R had known it would turn out this way... he would

Chapter 74That day was historic, but it went undocumented. Bayer had officially signed the ownership of Dimon’s companies behind closed doors, attended only by shareholders and investors. She was now more influential than ever. After a private lunch with the shareholders, by early afternoon, all Lavínia wanted was to return home.“You’re really not going to tell us where you’re living now?” Zara asked, visibly upset.“No, I’m not,” Lavínia replied as they headed toward the elevator.“Why do I feel like you’re hiding something?” Zara muttered.“What do you mean? I’m just taking care of my safety. Everyone knows you two are my assistants, so people might think where you are, I’ll be too. And they’ve tried to kill me plenty of times already.”“True... Well, take care of yourself, but at least give us the address. I promise we won’t tell anyone.”“Relax. Where I’m staying...” Lavínia paused, her lips pressing together thoughtfully. “I believe I’m safe,” she remarked before stepping out o

Chapter 75"You still haven’t answered me. What are you talking about?" he insisted, as they exchanged glances, swallowing hard."It's nothing, really..." his mother murmured thoughtfully. "Why did you suddenly move without saying anything?""Oh... that? It was just something sudden. I just decided.""That's not something you decide on a whim; we didn’t even talk about it. Besides, how did you move here if most of your clothes are still there?""Because I didn’t move here permanently, I just... needed some space, some privacy of my own. So, I organized everything first and thought of having this experience..." he explained, but as his mother stepped closer, looking at him with concern, his voice trailed off."Did you hurt yourself again?" she asked gently, holding his hand and examining the bandages, then looking at him with pity."Don’t worry, okay?" he sighed, his voice calm."What happened? Was it that same patient you always treat again? Maybe she needs more specialized care or a

Chapter 76: The Cultivated Hatred"How do you even know where this woman is if she doesn’t even show up at the company she owns?" Zen asked, disbelief evident in his voice."Indeed, but recently Mr. R shared a lot of information with me, and I’ve been investigating. Of the three of us, he’s the only one who’s seen Mrs. Bayer in person, and she has two right-hand people.""Are they in the company?""And you know them well: Samuel and Zara.""Lavinia’s assistants?" he asked, the realization dawning on him."Exactly. From what I’ve heard, Samuel was one of the few assistants who worked well alongside Mrs. Bayer, and Zara has been one of her best friends since she started her business. They were always around Mrs. Bayer.""Strange... doesn’t Lavinia know Mrs. Bayer?""I don’t know what their connection is. I’m trying to dig up something about your girlfriend, but there doesn’t seem to be much besides a messy marriage that no one really knows how it ended.""Pretty badly, I’d say, consider

Cap. 77:Lavinia's warm and damp skin shivered under Zen's insistent touch. Their lips intertwined in a hungry kiss, his tongue exploring every corner of her mouth. A muffled moan escaped Lavinia's lips as Zen wrapped her in his arms, lifting her off the ground and placing her gently on the soft bed. His body molded to hers, hot and pulsing.Zen gripped her waist firmly, his fingers digging into her skin. With a swift movement, he positioned himself between her legs, pressing against her. His lips trailed downward, leaving a path of wet kisses along her neck, descending the curve of her shoulder to her breast, lightly biting her nipple, eliciting a gasp of pleasure as Lavinia writhed beneath him.Her fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer as he explored every inch of her body, his hand sliding down the elastic of her intimate piece, leaving her bare. His tongue traced a hot, wet path along her stomach, circling her navel, and venturing into her most intimate parts."Zen..." s

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.

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

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
