The Heir of My Enemy Is My Secret Lover. 79
Chapter 79Zen’s mother still tried to reach them before he sped off in the car, but it was in vain. Zacarias observed the scene through the rearview mirror, his expression serious. This was only the beginning of a story that promised to be long and complex."Don’t strain yourself so much, calm down," Zacarias urged, trying to soothe her. The concern in his voice was evident."How can you expect me to calm down? What does Zen have to do with this Cedrick?" she asked, her voice trembling."I know, it’s really strange that he has all these ownership documents belonging to this Cedrick, but I believe there must be an explanation," Zacarias tried to sound optimistic, but doubt lingered in the air."Really? The same explanation we got when the center was mysteriously shut down just days after he was admitted there?" she questioned, her voice laced with suspicion.Two weeks after Zen was discharged from the hospital and brought straight to their home, the center they had dedicated their liv

Chapter 80"You're quite late!" Zara asserted in a restrained voice, a hint of disdain flickering in her eyes. At the same time, Lavínia slammed the car door harder than necessary, trying to mask her agitation. Zen, who had already stepped out through the other door, watched her with an ironic smile while she glared at him, as if silently asking what he was doing."We're working together. Besides, what's there to hide? I just found you on the road and offered you a ride—you looked like you were having a really bad day," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.Turning his back, he walked away as if he were being punished for something. However, he suddenly turned back, as if remembering something important."Don't you dare slam the car door like that again. Remember, it's borrowed," he warned, twirling the keys with an air of superiority, catching the disdainful look Lavínia shot him."Then buy your own with the bonus you got," she muttered through clenched teeth, her voice laced wit

Chapter 81” The Hidden Heir"I don't know..." Lavínia sighed thoughtfully, her eyes distant. "I promised that bastard Bowen that he wouldn’t advance in any business if it depended on me, but I don’t know if I can expand my business with that corrupt Romanov. I don’t want dealings with men like him, besides the fact that he wants something beyond that." Her voice was low, filled with resignation."Who doesn’t?" Zara said, smiling discreetly, a wicked glint in her eyes. She stepped closer to Lavínia, closing the distance between them. "After all, who really loses in this story? You or Romanov?""So? If you were waiting for me, did you find out anything important? It can't just be because you wanted to keep an eye on me," Lavínia asked impatiently as the elevator cabin ascended. With each passing second, her curiosity consumed her."You'll be surprised when you find out," Zara said excitedly, her eyes gleaming."What is it?" Lavínia insisted, her voice trembling with anxiety."Remember t

Chapter 82” The Man from the Past“For as long as necessary. It’s not the right time yet. After the event, I’ll tell him everything.”“And Evandro hasn’t bothered you again, right?” Zara asked, concerned.“Even after I ruined yet another business opportunity for him, he still hasn’t come after me,” she said with a victorious air.“You need to stop. This could be dangerous. The last visit nearly killed you, and the one before that gave you the worst experience of your life. When will you stop?” Zara asked, worry evident in her voice.“Don’t worry. If anything happens, I’ll press the button and be safe again,” she reassured, shaking the delicate stone bracelet on her wrist.“I hope we’re not too far for the worst to happen,” Zara commented.“But I still don’t understand. Why do you keep trying to undermine him?”“It’s not that I’m trying to undermine him. He’s trying to take everything I have, cutting ahead of me.”“He must be furious now that you’ve won another victory. Be careful.”“T

Chapter 83: The Locked DoorZen had no idea what Mr. R was planning besides the event. As soon as he arrived at the mansion, the servants were waiting for him at the gate and accompanied him, along with Valmont.“What’s happening now?” he asked, confused.“He doesn’t want you arriving all messed up at the event, so he wants to make sure you don’t go into that woman’s room, at least not today,” Valmont warned. Zen followed in silence, unsure where he was being led, until they stopped by a room he already knew well.“Am I going to visit someone, by chance?”“Actually, no,” Valmont answered, turning the doorknob. “This is your room, next to your father’s room.”Zen smiled skeptically, with a mocking air.“Don’t think I’m impressed, considering I already have all of this and more outside these walls.”“Still, you’ve limited yourself to a simple and poor life. You barely use the card you got. You should take advantage of all of this, since you’ve worked hard to get what you have today. Don

Chapter 84: A Glimpse of the PastBoth Zara and Samuel froze upon hearing Bowen’s words. Their eyes widened in surprise as they tried to decipher the meaning behind the statement. Turning to face him, they found a sarcastic smile on his lips and a velvet box in his hands. As he opened it, they revealed the ring—a unique model everyone knew well.“Do you remember?” Bowen asked, stepping forward with confidence. Lavínia, feeling her stomach churn, narrowed her eyes, trying to push the image of the jewel away.“What is he talking about? Didn’t you two break up?” Zara asked, her voice trembling.“Of course not!” Bowen declared vehemently, waving them off with a sharp gesture. Samuel, however, stepped in between them, blocking his path. “Ah, still playing bodyguard, you little assistant!” Bowen muttered under his breath, his voice low but filled with contempt.“Let’s not fight here,” Zara warned, her voice firm. “If something goes wrong, there’s no avoiding the press.”“Good, you know that

Chapter 85: The Prodigy and His Fate“Ah... how wonderful, we never knew she was married. I understand now, but I must say that thanks to this little argument, we’ve reaped great benefits. Thank you, Mrs. Bayer,” one of the men said, the irony dripping from each syllable. Lavínia shot him a deadly glance, but he just smiled, clearly pleased to have humiliated her.“Anyway... I hope our disagreements today can be overcome, since we’re back to what we were before,” Bowen remarked, but the tension in the air was palpable. The guests, uncomfortable with the situation, disguised their unease by drinking more wine.Meanwhile, in a more private corner, Zen Obedon and Mr. Romanov were the center of attention. The crowd gathered around them, eager for a glimpse of the famous prodigal son. Zen, however, seemed distant, his eyes fixed on the bottom of his glass, gently swirling it.“Finally, we can meet your son, Mr. Romanov. After years of knowing you had a son, and that he’s a prodigy, we’ve b

Chapter 86: The Game of Truth“Wait... Jenner’s fiancé is Zen Obedon?” Zara asked, her voice low so they wouldn’t be overheard by the crowd. Her heart raced with surprise and excitement.“Actually, it’s Cedrick Romanov. We never could have imagined, but it was obvious a simple guy couldn’t afford a couture suit from another country,” Samuel sighed, thoughtful. He seemed perplexed by the revelation.“Lavínia is going to be shocked when she finds out who the guy was that she spent the night with. She just hit the jackpot of her life,” Zara laughed, but her voice was dripping with irony. She pulled Samuel away from the crowd, needing a moment to process the information.“Why don’t you two talk? Let’s choose a table and sit down,” Mr. Romanov suggested, his commanding voice echoing through the room. Jenner, with a radiant smile, held onto Cedrick’s arm firmly, demonstrating possession. Cedrick, in turn, felt a shiver run down his spine. He had completely forgotten everything around him wh

The Heir of My Enemy Is My Secret Lover. 167: The Final Chapter
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
The Heir of My Enemy Is My Secret Lover. 162 - A Promise Kept
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

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
