YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 248: THE VEIL LIFTS
The grand ballroom of the Castillan estate was adorned with glittering chandeliers, their soft light casting golden hues across the marble floor. Nobles and dignitaries milled about, their faces masked with polite smiles and feigned indifference, though the undercurrent of tension was palpable.Arabela stood near one of the towering arched windows, her emerald gown shimmering like the ocean under the moonlight. Her eyes, sharp and calculating, scanned the crowd. The weight of her mission pressed heavily on her shoulders, yet she maintained an air of grace and poise."Christine," she murmured, her voice barely audible over the hum of conversations. Beside her, Christine tightened her grip on the crystal goblet she held, her silver dress a stark contrast to Arabela's vibrant attire. Christine's gaze followed Arabela's line of sight, landing on Lord Mortimer, the very man whose secrets could unravel their plans or secure their victory."He's moving toward the east wing," Christine noted,
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 250: THE HEART OF DARKNESS
The air was thick with a palpable sense of dread as Arabela and Christine stood before the massive gates of the forgotten temple, a monument to a past long buried. The journey to this point had been fraught with danger, but nothing could prepare them for what lay ahead. The Heart of Darkness—a legendary artifact said to hold unimaginable power—was within their grasp, but so too were the forces that sought to keep it from the world.Arabela's eyes flickered nervously toward Christine, who remained calm, her sharp gaze fixed on the ancient ruins. The tension between them had shifted in recent days, the weight of their shared secret casting long shadows over their friendship. But now, in the face of this impossible task, their bond would be tested like never before."We can't turn back now," Arabela whispered, her voice barely audible over the wind that howled through the cracks in the stone. "This is our only chance."Christine nodded, her expression unreadable. "It's not just the artif
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 251: THE FINAL CHOICE
The moment Christine’s fingers wrapped around the Heart of Darkness, a surge of raw, untamed power surged through her, almost knocking her to her knees. The artifact seemed to come alive in her hands, its dark energy swirling around her like a tempest. Arabela stood by her side, struggling to keep her balance as the room shook violently, the ancient stone walls groaning under the pressure of the unleashed force.For a brief, heart-stopping moment, the entire temple seemed to hold its breath, suspended between the past and the future, between fate and choice. The guardians—those monstrous, otherworldly beings—lay motionless, their eyes filled with a strange, almost mournful light.But the silence was shattered by a voice. A whisper that echoed from the very core of the temple, ancient and wise, yet filled with a deep sorrow."Why do you seek the Heart?" it asked, its voice so cold it sent chills down Arabela’s spine. "Do you believe you can control it? Do you believe it will serve you?
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 252: THE BETRAYED LEGACY
The temple lay in ruins, its once-pristine walls now nothing more than jagged remnants of an ancient past. The Heart of Darkness had disappeared, leaving only an unsettling emptiness in its wake. Arabela and Christine stood amidst the wreckage, their bodies weary, their hearts heavy. The temple had crumbled as the light faded, its power dissipating into the air like a dream that had been shattered upon waking.But as the dust settled, something else stirred. A presence—dark, cold, and vengeful—lingered in the air. The world around them felt different, as though the very fabric of reality had been altered, reshaped by their choices.Christine clutched the remnants of the Heart in her hands, her fingers trembling. The once-glowing artifact was now nothing more than a fractured piece of crystal, its power seemingly extinguished. But deep within its broken form, there was a pulse, faint but unmistakable. It wasn’t gone, not entirely. The Heart was still alive, still waiting.“Did we do th
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 253: THE FALL OF AN EMPIRE
The air was thick with the stench of smoke and decay, a sharp contrast to the once-pristine halls of the temple. The darkness had already begun its advance, creeping outward like an unstoppable tide, consuming everything in its path. The figure—its form now shifting and flickering, a grotesque shadow of malice—stood before Arabela and Christine, its presence like a weight pressing down on their very souls.“The fall of an empire begins with a single crack,” it whispered, its voice like a low growl, reverberating through the crumbling walls. “And you two have just unleashed the first tremor.”Christine’s grip on the fractured crystal remained firm, but her hands were trembling, the weight of their actions settling heavily on her. “What do you mean, ‘the fall of an empire’? What empire are you talking about?”The figure’s eyes glowed with a cruel gleam, a malevolent smile tugging at the corners of its mouth. “You do not understand, do you? This empire, this world—you’ve never truly seen
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 254: THE PATH OF FROGIVENESS
The storm raged above, a swirling vortex of darkness and chaos. The skies, once blue and clear, had become a twisted maze of thunderclouds and lightning, an ominous reflection of the turmoil now gripping the world. The remnants of the temple crumbled around Arabela and Christine, the earth itself splitting apart as though it could no longer bear the weight of the choices they had made.In the midst of the destruction, the figure—the master of the Heart—continued to loom, its form ever-changing, its dark laughter filling the air with an overwhelming sense of dread. But Arabela and Christine stood firm, their resolve unshaken, despite the monumental task before them. The fall of the empire was only the beginning. The true battle lay in what came next.“We have to find a way to stop this,” Christine said, her voice steady, though her eyes betrayed the fear that had begun to claw at her heart. “We can’t undo the damage, but we can fight for what’s left.”Arabela nodded, her gaze fixed on
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 255: THE UNBREAKABLE BOND
The world was still—unnervingly still. The violent storm that had once threatened to tear apart everything around them had begun to dissipate, leaving only the faintest whispers of wind to stir the ruins of the temple. The ground, cracked and scarred from the battle, was slowly beginning to heal, the cracks filled with a soft, glowing light that seemed to emanate from deep within the earth itself. It was as if the land, too, had sensed the change in the air—the beginning of something new.Arabela and Christine stood amidst the wreckage, the weight of their actions, their choices, and the consequences still lingering in their hearts. The figure—the one who had once loomed over them with so much power and malice—was gone, its presence obliterated by the power of their combined will. The Heart of Darkness had shattered, and with it, the chains that had bound the world to fear and hatred had been broken. Yet, even with the battle won, there was still so much left to rebuild, so much to he
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 256: A NEW ERA
The dawn of a new world broke across the horizon, its golden light spilling over the ruins of the old, illuminating the scars left by war, betrayal, and darkness. The air was different now—cleaner, fresher—as if the earth itself had taken a deep, healing breath. The storm had passed, but its echoes remained, a reminder of the struggle that had reshaped everything.Arabela and Christine stood at the edge of the temple, overlooking the landscape that stretched out before them. The destruction they had witnessed, the collapse of an empire built on lies, was still fresh in their minds. But now, as the sun rose higher, the first rays of light seemed to promise something more—something brighter, more hopeful.“It feels like a dream,” Christine whispered, her voice full of awe as she gazed at the changing world. “Like everything we've known is gone. But in its place... something new.”Arabela nodded, her heart heavy with both sadness and hope. “The old world is gone. But that doesn’t mean we

YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 293: ECHOES OF THE PAST
The room remained eerily quiet, the air thick with the remnants of the ancient presence that had just departed. Amelia stood motionless, her eyes fixed on the space where the figure had once stood. It felt as though time itself had stopped, leaving her suspended in a moment of crushing uncertainty.She could still feel the echoes of its words reverberating in her mind, a constant, insistent whisper that tugged at her thoughts. *The return of the ancient power...* The phrase repeated itself like a chant, drowning out everything else.Behind her, Alexander exhaled sharply, breaking the silence. His voice was low but firm, filled with an unsettling calmness. “We cannot ignore this. The threat is real.”Amelia turned to face him, her heart racing. She had seen him battle enemies, both mortal and immortal, but there was something different in his eyes now. A darkness, a flicker of doubt that she had never seen before. He, too, understood the weight of the situation—they both did.“What doe
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 292: THE RETURN OF AN ANCIENT POWER
The weight of the figure’s words hung heavy in the air, a dark omen that threatened to overshadow everything they had fought for. Amelia’s breath caught in her chest as the figure’s glowing eyes pierced through the dim light of the library, its presence suffocating the room with an ancient and malevolent energy.Alexander stood motionless beside her, his expression unreadable, but his every muscle tensed with the unmistakable readiness of a warrior prepared for battle. The sword at his side seemed to hum with energy, as if it too sensed the arrival of something far older and far more dangerous than they could have imagined.The figure before them took a slow step forward, its cloak billowing with an unnatural wind that stirred the dust on the library’s floor. It seemed to glide across the ground, its movements deliberate, and its shadow stretched far beyond its form—dark and consuming, like the approach of a storm.Amelia’s mind raced as she tried to comprehend what she was facing. Th
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 291: A SHADOW IN THE DISTANCE
The mountain’s pulse had slowed, but the tension in the air remained thick, almost suffocating. The mysterious figure that had emerged from the shadows had vanished as quickly as it had appeared, leaving nothing behind but the deep tremors of the earth and the unsettling silence that followed. Amelia and Alexander stood motionless, their eyes scanning the rocky landscape, the eerie feeling of being watched lingering in the air.Amelia’s heart pounded in her chest, every nerve alert. The threat was real, and it wasn’t just the Crimson Order they were up against. Something older, something more powerful, was awakening—and it was clear now that their path had just become far more dangerous.“What was that?” Amelia whispered, her voice barely above a breath. She turned to Alexander, but his face remained unreadable, a mask of calm that belied the storm brewing in his mind.“I don’t know,” Alexander said, his voice low. “But I’ve never felt power like that before. It wasn’t just physical s
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 290: THE SEEDS OF REBELLION
The dim light of the underground chambers flickered as whispers filled the air, carrying with them an unsettling sense of urgency. In the heart of the resistance’s hideout, hidden beneath the city’s fractured streets, a plan was slowly coming together. The cracks in the foundation of the Crimson Order’s power were deepening, but so too was the desire for rebellion—a desire that now seemed to pulse through every corner of the world, from the highest towers to the deepest shadows.Amelia paced back and forth, her mind racing with the revelations of the past days. Yvan’s words haunted her, each sentence a weight she could scarcely bear. The world was teetering on the edge of something far darker than the Crimson Order had ever been, and the consequences of inaction would be catastrophic.Alexander stood at the edge of the room, his gaze distant, his posture tense. His thoughts, like hers, were heavy with the responsibility of the choices that lay ahead. He had been a soldier in countless
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 289: THE NEW ARPER
The city buzzed with energy, a curious mix of anticipation and anxiety that crackled in the air like static. News of the Crimson Order’s return had spread quickly, and the once peaceful streets now felt charged with tension. Amelia stood atop a balcony, looking out over the sprawling metropolis, her mind restless as her thoughts returned to the ancient enemy they were about to face. “The calm before the storm,” she murmured, her fingers tracing the stone railing as the setting sun bathed the city in an amber glow. Behind her, Alexander’s voice was calm, but there was a quiet urgency in his words. “We cannot let the Crimson Order succeed in bringing back the altar’s power. It’s not just about us anymore—it’s about everything we’ve fought for.” Amelia turned to meet his gaze, her heart heavy with the weight of their shared history. “I know,” she replied softly. “But I keep wondering if we’re prepared for what’s coming. We can’t undo what was done to us. The bond… it’s a part of us
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 288: OLD WOUNDS REOPENED
The dawn brought with it a chill that seeped into Amelia’s bones as she prepared to join Alexander and Evelyn at the war council. Though the reports from the citadel were scant, the unease they carried was enough to rattle even the most seasoned among them. As she stepped into the chamber, the atmosphere was heavy with tension. The leaders of their alliance—human, immortal, and otherworldly alike—had gathered around the circular table. Maps and reports littered its surface, but all eyes turned to Evelyn, who stood at the head of the room. “Our scouts returned early this morning,” Evelyn began, her voice steady but somber. “The ruins of the citadel are no longer empty. Whoever these intruders are, they’ve fortified their position—and they’ve uncovered something.” A murmur rippled through the room. Amelia leaned forward, her heart pounding. “Uncovered what?” Evelyn hesitated before answering. “The remnants of the Obsidian Altar.” The room fell into stunned silence. The Obsidia
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 287: THE QUIET BEFORE THE STORM
The days following the monumental gathering were steeped in a rare, almost fragile tranquility. The city hummed with the sounds of progress, and its people moved with a renewed sense of purpose. Amelia found herself enjoying the quiet moments—a luxury she hadn’t experienced in centuries. She wandered through the newly rebuilt streets, her steps unhurried. Vendors called out cheerful greetings, children played games in the squares, and the scent of freshly baked bread wafted through the air. For the first time in what felt like forever, the world seemed... normal. But deep within her, Amelia knew better. “Something’s coming,” she muttered under her breath as she stood on the edge of the market, her gaze fixed on the distant mountains. Alexander’s voice interrupted her thoughts. “You feel it too.” She turned to see him approaching, his expression unreadable. His ability to mask his emotions was both a strength and a frustration to her, but in this moment, she could see the fai
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 286: A WORLD REBORN
The dawn broke over a world transformed. Golden light spilled across the land, illuminating vast fields where the scars of war had once marred the earth. Now, green sprouted in abundance, and the air hummed with the vibrant energy of renewal. Amelia stood atop the hill that overlooked the city she had come to call home. It was not the city it had been when she and Alexander first arrived—fractured, divided, and weighed down by history. No, this was something new. The streets below thrummed with life as people moved with purpose and hope, building and rebuilding. “It’s beautiful,” she murmured, more to herself than anyone else. Alexander approached from behind, his steps quiet but sure. “It is. And it’s only the beginning.” She glanced at him, her expression contemplative. “Do you think it will last this time? After everything we’ve done… do you think peace can truly hold?” Alexander was quiet for a moment, his gaze fixed on the horizon. “Peace isn’t something that simply hap
YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND BILLIONAIRE SINCE 1692 CHAPTER 285: THE FUTURE AWAITS
The air was alive with the hum of possibility, a quiet buzz that seemed to reverberate through the streets and the hearts of the people. It was a new era, one born of sacrifice, struggle, and triumph. The shadows that had once plagued the world had receded, and in their place, a bright light had emerged, strong and unwavering.Amelia stood at the window of their home, her eyes tracing the horizon where the city met the sky. The buildings that once stood as symbols of division and conquest now seemed to breathe with a new purpose. The streets, once silent and tense, now rang with the laughter of children, the bustle of merchants, and the sounds of life returning to its natural rhythm. She felt the weight of the moment, the weight of everything they had done, everything they had sacrificed, but also the weight of what still lay ahead. Peace was no longer an abstract concept—it was here. But with peace came responsibility, and with responsibility came the need for action.Beside her, Al
