The Heir of My Enemy Is My Secret Lover. 68
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 of

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 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

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
The Heir of My Enemy Is My Secret Lover. 159: The Courtroom’s Final Verdict
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
