Chapter 68: Without a HomeWhen he got home, he went straight to the bathroom and changed clothes. Lavínia was apparently asleep when he carefully entered the bedroom and lay down beside her.As soon as he closed his eyes, hers opened, revealing she had been pretending the whole time. She turned to analyze him, noticing his hair was still damp from showering and changing clothes.She waited a few minutes, then got up and went to the bathroom as if looking for something. She headed to the laundry basket, grabbed the clothes Zen had been wearing, and opened it, noticing the dark stains on both the shirt and pants."What was he doing?" she murmured, feeling uneasy. Then, she threw the clothes back into the laundry bin. Before leaving the bathroom, she called Zara."Good evening, Mrs. Bayer. Isn’t it a bit late to be calling?" Zara grumbled."Tomorrow morning, I’ll be heading to your apartment. Send me your new address," Lavínia said firmly."Ah... my new address?" Zara asked, widening her

Cap:69As soon as Lavinia left, Zen got ready in a few minutes, carrying a lab coat slung over his forearm. As soon as he left the house, he saw the car parked in front."Why are you here?" he asked without much interest, intending to head in another direction."It's better if I accompany you. You don’t want to listen to me, but once again, you're going to face the one person you can’t get what you want from, and you'll be frustrated again," Mr. Valmont remarked, warning him and making Zen stop, visibly annoyed. "Come on, I’ll take you this time," he added, showing a hint of remorse."I’m only getting in for a ride. I don’t have money for gas," Zen replied awkwardly."A liar will always be a liar," Valmont teased as Zen got into the car."I’m not lying. I just have to keep up appearances.""I don’t see the point of it. What do you think this woman will think when she finds out you’ve been lying to her? The only thing you haven’t lied to her about is your feelings, your parents, your

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 102: The Worst Enemy Has a Name and a Surname“What happened there doesn’t matter anymore as long as I’m fine,” Lavínia stated firmly.“Even so… I know that meeting wasn’t planned for either of you, but you know what’s even stranger? Mr. Romanov never told his son who Lavínia Bayer really is. He literally still has no idea who you are. It’s like he did this on purpose,” Samuel observed, intrigued.“What could be going on? I think, as a precaution, you should tell him the truth,” Zara suggested, worried about the situation.“That guy… Zen or Cedrick, whatever his name is, has nothing to do with me anymore, and we have no reason to speak to each other,” she said sharply, making it clear she didn’t want to discuss the matter any further.“Okay…” Samuel sighed, thoughtful as he glanced around the mansion. “We need to keep this completely secret for now. No one can know you’re living here,” he warned, as if an important thought had just crossed his mind.Meanwhile, Valmont was on h

Chapter 101 – A Mysterious Move"A special dinner is being announced. Mr. Romanov is throwing a party to celebrate his son's engagement, and it looks like I received an invitation too," Lavínia commented dispassionately, showing the email on her phone to her friends."Are you kidding? Why are they doing everything so fast?" Zara asked, surprised.Samuel approached and sat down next to them, curious. "Are you planning to attend this event?" he asked, looking at Lavínia."Where has he been? Has he returned to Alpha Corp?" Lavínia inquired, referring to Romanov."From what I've heard, he's been going in as if nothing happened," Samuel informed."That's strange. I thought he would never set foot in Alpha Corp again," Zara commented."So did I. When he returns, are you going to fire him?" Samuel asked Lavínia."He doesn’t know that I’m Mrs. Bayer. If he wants to leave, he can do it on his own. But if he stays, he’ll have plenty of reasons to walk out. I don’t care what he does anymore. I n

Chapter 100 – A Hidden Truth"When were you planning to tell me what’s going on?" Samuel asked, his voice filled with reproach as he opened the envelope containing their medical exams."I wasn’t hiding anything, I was going to tell you..." Zara muttered, her head lowered, drawing a worried look from Lavínia."What’s happening with Zara? And why did you decide to return to the city so quickly?" Lavínia questioned, her voice edged with surprise and anger."Because this is the best place for both of you. In our old town, there aren’t doctors equipped to handle your delicate conditions. When I took Zara to the doctor, I found out that she’s been treating a brain tumor for a year. It doesn’t seem to be progressing, but she still needs treatment to prevent it from turning malignant. But she’s been hiding it and hasn’t been undergoing treatment for an entire year. What do you think is going to happen?" Samuel directed the question at Zara, who looked away, unable to hold back her tears."Zar

Chapter 99: The Unspoken TruthZara stumbled backward, startled, and the jar shattered on the floor, its sharp sound echoing through the kitchen. The light flickered on, revealing a chaotic scene: glass shards scattered everywhere and Zara, pale. Samuel rushed toward her, concern etched on his face.“Don’t move,” he ordered, his voice firm, cutting through the silence. His eyes scanned the floor, assessing the extent of the disaster. The shards of glass sparkled under the light, like tiny malevolent stars.With careful movements, Samuel approached Zara, avoiding the glass fragments.“What are you doing?” she asked, her voice trembling. His proximity made her nervous, yet comforted her at the same time.He carefully picked her up, feeling the lightness of her body. The sensation of holding her in his arms was strangely familiar. He placed her gently on the cold marble table.“How can you be so careless?” he scolded, his voice softer than the tone he’d used before. His eyes shifted to t

Chapter 98 - The Secrets We Hide“We need to go back now!” Zara hurriedly warned. Lavínia, calm, continued getting ready as if nothing important was happening.“Go back? Being here feels so good,” she sighed, indifferent, her eyes focused on the mirror.“God… I can’t believe we did this!” Zara threw herself onto the bed, covering her face with her hands. The guilt and shame consumed her.“What are you talking about?” Lavínia asked, not understanding her friend's reaction.“Didn’t you realize what we were doing?” Zara asked, incredulous. Lavínia’s expression, however, was one of genuine confusion. “Samuel, we didn’t even care that he was a man. How many times has he seen you without clothes?”“Oh… many times, I think,” Lavínia sighed, as if recalling a distant memory. “He’s like my bodyguard. Although at first, I did it on purpose, it was a test to see if he was really focused on his work and took it seriously. And he managed to earn his place and rise in his career, becoming one of t

Chapter 97: Confessions and Revelations“How come? I didn’t see anyone.” Zara stopped, incredulous.“Are you sure?” he asked, a tone of irony in his voice, fixing his gaze on her as he stood in front of her with his arms crossed, his muscles accentuated by his short-sleeve cotton shirt with a small opening at the collar.“Yes, normally you always disappear when there’s a woman around, but I haven’t seen anyone these days.”“Oh... you haven’t seen any women?” he asked with sarcasm.“No!”“It could be, maybe I’m walking around with an angel. She’s as beautiful as one.” he sighed, while Zara kept her attention on his subtle smile, not realizing who he was referring to. Zara crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing in suspicion.“Who?” she sighed, placing a hand on her chest as if feeling her heartbeat quicken.“You’re so slow, I haven’t been seeing other women because I’ve been seeing one already, and she tends to put her foot in my face.” Samuel averted his gaze as though hiding something.

Chapter 96: The Unseen Secrets"Finally, you got out of that crazy department, huh?" Cintia said enthusiastically, guiding him into the room."Is this where I'll stay?" he asked, his voice laced with a mix of surprise and distrust. After all, why such a big and well-equipped room for him, all of a sudden? The room was spacious, with modern furniture and a stunning view of the city."Considering your specialization, you should've taken over this room a long time ago. We have a list of staff to attend to during your off hours as well. I'll warn you, the employees who work directly with Bayer are the most demanding. They become machines, I believe there's not one who doesn’t cause problems that could lead to stress or even a heart attack.""This woman seems really troublesome," he commented indifferently, though a strange sense of unease stirred inside him."You don’t know her?" she asked, eyeing him curiously."Not really," he replied, his gaze distant."Bayer really chose to hide well,

Cap. 95: The Love I SoughtWhen Cedrick opened his eyes, darkness enveloped him like a cloak. The smell of mold and dust was suffocating, mixed with a faint odor of metal that made him nauseous. He tried to get up, but a sharp pain ran through his back, making him groan. The walls seemed to move, shadows dancing in a macabre ballet. Where was he? What had happened?The memory of the argument with Romanov and the needle being driven into his arm came rushing back. A wave of panic surged through him. He was trapped.His father had taken him to the worst place. The image of Romanov smiling, with that look of triumph, appeared in his mind, sending a shiver down his spine, as his childhood memories came flooding back, taking shape in that filthy place.With difficulty, he managed to crawl to the door. His hands trembled as he tried to open the rusted doorknob. With each attempt, fear grew. The door wouldn’t budge. He started banging loudly, screaming for help, but his cries were lost in th

Chapter 94: A Web of Deceit"Are you already like this? Have you met his mother? What is she like?" Lavinia asked."She only gave us a room, thinking we were a couple. We were super uncomfortable, no bed, and she gave us a mattress to sleep on the floor. He didn't deny it, just smiled. His mom is so sweet, she treated me so well." Zara sighed, filled with nostalgia."That's good. I never met his mother, actually, I never even knew anything about his family in the years we've worked together. But I know he has a lot of emotional baggage; a lot happened to him while he was working for the state as a soldier." Lavinia said with anticipation."Ah... I know, he's always out having fun and dating different women, but what's funny is that it seems like he's trying to suppress something inside him." Zara observed, thoughtful. That vulnerable side of Samuel intrigued her."Maybe..." Lavinia commented, deep in thought. "You can use this time at his mother's boarding house to learn more about hi
