Calista was on her way to Timothy's law firm when she received the message. Upon seeing the photos, she immediately called the number. Unfortunately, their phone had been switched off.

Paul was sitting next to her and also saw the photos.

"Lucian isn't that weak, Calista. He may have his plans."

He feared Calista's impulsiveness would lead her to fall into a trap. Kyros likely had something up his sleeve if he sent the photos.

He wasn't telling her anything to make her panic and leave her feeling helpless. With her beloved's life hanging in the balance, even the most resilient person would come apart at the seams over time.

Once she was broken in, her focus would shift solely to the immediate problem, making her an easy target to manipulate.

"I know."

Calista forced herself to look away from the photos. She turned off the phone screen to ignore the problem.

"I'm not going to act impulsively, nor am I going to hand myself over on a silver platter. Kyros is holding back becaus

    Lucian calmly leaned against the headrest instead of responding to Kyros' words. His composed demeanor showed no signs of anxiety. He hardly seemed like a man under someone's thumb.His reaction was entirely different from what Kyros was expecting to see. He expected Lucian to be fearful, frantic, and begging for mercy. Instead, he was as calm as a millpond. It was as if he were sitting in his own home.Kyros grabbed him by his face and spoke through gritted teeth, "Your reaction leaves me feeling useless, Lucian. Aren't you scared?"Lucian wasn't angered by Kyros' actions. He showed no inclination to engage. The calmer he remained, the more hysterical Kyros became. He forcefully tore Lucian's clothes, exposing the scars on his chest. "Have you forgotten the pain after your scars healed?"His fingers danced across a scar and forcefully dug his nails in. Blood dripped down between the cracks of his fingers and onto the sheets."Shall I help jog your memory? Back in that basemen

    The words finally caused a change in Lucian's facial expression. He watched as Kyros left the room. "Where do you plan on taking me?""You're my brother. You'll be going wherever I go. But for now, just enjoy yourself. Don't waste the gift I prepared for you."Someone delivered a punch to Lucian's stomach as soon as he finished speaking. He was already severely weakened due to the drug. The blow left him even more powerless. He let out a grunt.Lucian doubled over. He was drenched in cold sweat as an intense ache blossomed from his abdomen. He endured the pain. "Are you planning to abandon those who follow you and escape like a drowned rat, Kyros? Or have you fallen to the point where these are the only people you can use?"Kyros brightened."Are you worried about me, Lucian?"Lucian was at a loss for words. He was truly a delusional man."The illegal fundraising case has been filed. The police have probably already issued a citywide warrant for me. I don't think your connec

    Kyros' men had already left from the moment he brandished the remote. The crowded room had emptied, leaving only a few people within. Cade shot Lucian a look to signal for him to draw Kyros' attention so he could take the remote from him.Firearms and ammunition were contraband domestically. The control of raw materials was extremely stringent and required multiple formalities. Even if Kyros could manage it, the quantity made would likely be limited. But, no one would risk their life to gamble on the authenticity of such a claim.Kyros flashed a smile at Cade when he noticed the latter's intention. However, the smile was a grim warning. "I know what you're up to, Mr. Carter. But, you'd better keep it to yourself. I'm very skittish. What if you scare me into accidentally pressing the button? The consequences would be disastrous. You wanted Lucian to call Calista just to witness their heartbreaking separation, didn't you? Wouldn't it be boring if it's just the two of them? Why do

    Calista's thoughts were entirely consumed by Lucian's situation. It wasn't until Hector stood before her that she registered what he was saying."He's not a weakling."Hector was at a loss for words. Surely, that was not the point. It didn't matter to him if Lucian was a weakling or not. He was worried about Calista, not Lucian."What are you doing here?" Calista asked.This was surely not a coincidence.Yara shifted close and said carefully, "I told him you were here. He sent me a text asking about Lucian and asked how you were doing. It was a casual mention. I didn't think he'd come."She could hazard a guess on what he'd do. Knowing what he was like, he'd come if he knew Calista was here. She didn't know if she'd be able to hold Calista back if she were to take an impulsive action. Having more people around meant additional safeguards. She didn't hold out hope for Timothy to help bolster their numbers. Calista nodded."I'm heading home then."She already asked Timothy ev

    Back at the dilapidated residential building, there was a stalemate due to Kyros' explosives. There was uncertainty regarding their existence.The police had arrived but they were unable to enter. With no other buildings around and Kyros far from the windows, snipers couldn't be deployed. The negotiator had spoken. But, they didn't receive a single response. It felt as if they were talking to a brick wall. Kyros still had hostages which prevented them from launching an assault.The man who everyone was anxiously watching, seemed the most at ease."Do you think Calista is going to make it, Lucian?"Lucian was back on the bed and leaning against the headboard. Kyros had been quite heavy-handed with the drug he administered. Despite having been awake for a while, Lucian remained feeble. "Instead of worrying if she's going to make it, you should be concerned about your backer. News has likely gotten out by now. Want to see?"Kyros shot him a knowing smile."I'll pass."He toyed

    An explosion went off with a sudden boom, shaking the earth. What followed was complete silence. The building was quiet. Even the people milling about downstairs were silent.Homemade explosives weren't particularly potent. But, the building was a dangerous site that had been left abandoned for years. It wasn't made to withstand the impact. The explosion caused more than half of the structure to collapse.The earth stopped shaking as the explosions subsided. Calista steadied herself and stared at the ruins of the residential building ahead. She held her breath. She could see the edges of her vision going dark."Lucian …"The police were quick to apprehend Kyros' men. An officer with a microphone shouted at the building, "Is there anyone inside?"Calista immediately made a beeline for the building. Hector grabbed her."Calm down, Calista. We still don't know what's going on in there. There's no way of knowing if there are more bombs that haven't gone off. You …" "But Lucian

    When Calista heard that there were no signs of life, she nearly fell to her knees. However, she quickly steadied herself. She held her breath and looked at Cade.She didn't know why she had instinctively looked his way. Perhaps the lack of certainty had instilled a desire to hear the answer from someone else. However, the reaction all but lasted a split second. She quickly regained her composure. She stumbled to the location where someone was mentioned to have been found.Calista was about to climb up when a fireman stopped her."It's dangerous up there. You can't be there.""I won't get in your way. I need to see who it is you found. My husband … My husband is down there somewhere."The person who stopped her was unfazed."We'll bring him down. Please step aside. There are scattered cement blocks up there. You'll slip into the gaps up there."Seeing how pale Calista seemed, the person repeated, "There's nothing for you to worry about. We'll bring him down."That empty reassu

    Calista quickly flipped to the last page of the consent form. She gripped the pen tightly to stop her hands from trembling. Then, she swiftly penned her name on paper.Before she could catch her breath from having signed the form, the nurse handed her another document."This is the consent form for the surgery …"After she was done signing the forms, the nurse finally went back inside. Before she left, she glanced at Calista's hands which were covered in soot. "You should have your injuries taken care of. All that soot is going to give you an infection.""Yeah, I will."It was only then that Calista had the chance to inquire about how Lucian was faring."How is he? Is he in danger?""We're still trying to stabilize him. We'll be in contact if anything goes wrong."Once the nurse finished, she left with the stack of signed consent forms.When the doors closed, Calista leaned wearily against the wall. She felt extremely exhausted after the rollercoaster of emotions. It complet

    With Cade covering Cameron's mouth, there was no chance for her pointed words to offend anyone in the room. His palm was cool to the touch. It was a sensation she disliked. So, she couldn't help but tilt her head.When Cade noticed her movements, he gently stroked her cheek as if he were calming a child who was throwing a tantrum.Victor spent years in a position of authority, giving him an air of unspoken authority. His gaze hardened, and his lips pressed into a firm line as he watched Cade. "Cade, don't jeopardize the long-standing relationship between our families over a woman.""If that's how you see it." Cade glanced at the door. "Aren't you doing the same for a woman?"Victor snorted contemptuously. "How can a cheap girl who was merely adopted be worth anything compared to Mirabelle?""How is my daughter, a Yorksworth, worth any less than yours?" Blaire stood at the doorway as she took in the occupants of the home with her sharp gaze. She had been feeling restless ever sin

    Mirabelle frowned. "Excuse me?"As soon as she finished speaking, Cameron walked up to her, grabbed her by her hair, and forcefully bent her over.Cameron held up the guest list Monica had sent her and shoved it in Mirabelle's face. "Call them. Tell them to be there by 3:00 p.m., or else…"She tightened her grip threateningly. "You can kiss this head of hair goodbye."Mirabelle pressed down on her scalp where it had been pulled, her voice distorted with pain when she spoke."Let go, Cameron! Are you out of your mind?""Didn't I tell you not to involve anyone else in our feud?""Can't take it anymore?"Mirabelle endured the pain of turning her head to flash a disdainful sneer at Cameron."This is just the appetizer. If you go against me, you'll eventually crawl out of Capeton with your tail between your legs. I'll call your business partner right now and pin the catastrophic failure of this event on you…"Seeing Mirabelle's condescending expression brought Cameron back to the

    The kiss lifted the dark cloud that hung over Cade's mood over the past few days.The next day, as Fabian brought in documents for him to sign, Cade asked, "When is Cameron's show?"Fabian was taken aback for a split second but quickly replied. Fortunately, he was well-prepared and kept track of Cameron's events for the year in advance."Has the invitation been delivered?"Fabian swallowed, almost wanting to laugh to mock Cade. Given Cade's strained relationship with his wife, Cameron would sooner invite a dog than have him around. However, all Fabian could do was revel in Cade's misery in his mind while keeping a businesslike facade."It was probably already delivered. The front desk brought in a stack of mail yesterday. I haven't sorted it out yet."He had already sorted out the mail this morning. Everything had gone straight to the trash."Clear my schedule for the day. Make reservations at a restaurant for a celebratory dinner.""Yes, sir."On the day of the show, Monica

    That was obviously an excuse to get Cade out of the picture. Knowing what Mirabelle had done to Cameron in the past, leaving the two of them alone was out of the question. Besides, it wasn't convenient for him to move the car, so he refused without a second thought."Get the attendant—"However, Cameron cut him off before he could finish."Ms. Ackerman is a guest. You should fulfill her requests if she has any."Cade cast her a cold glance. "Shut up." Why should he dance to Mirabelle's tune?Cameron stared at him. "Run along."He gritted his teeth as rage crossed his face. After a brief pause, he sneered and turned to leave. As soon as the door shut behind him, Mirabelle's calm expression slipped. "Did you make me come here just to show off how much you two love each other?""You call that love? I think we have different definitions of what 'love' is then. He's nothing more than…" Cameron's fingers lightly traced the cup's rim as she smirked and said, "A lap dog.""You fu

    Cameron crossed her arms over her chest and gave the bouquet in Cade's hands a nonchalant glance."What are you trying to pull, Mr. Carter?""Fabian said it was Women's Day today.""So what?"There was silence all around. The sound of soothing music could be heard through the door. Cade was silent for a while. "We're not getting a divorce, Cameron."It was the same old topic that Cameron had grown too weary of. She turned around and felt for the cigarette box on the table. There was already a layer of cigarette butts in the ashtray next to it. Judging by the color of the lipstick marks, more than half of them were hers.Cade frowned. He clearly disapproved of her smoking but kept himself from stopping her.Smoke curled from between her lips. The flickering embers of the cigarette reflected in her eyes, softening her indifferent gaze. Through the thin haze, Cameron's lips curled into a wide, unrestrained smile. Every time she smiled in this way, it always filled Cade with a

    Cade began unbuckling his belt as he spoke. When it came to this sort of thing, men often had a strong sense of competition, especially in the presence of a woman they were interested in."Such a dark atmosphere isn't right for our situation."Cameron didn't like him to begin. In such a dark atmosphere, there was no telling what kind of grotesque creature she might imagine him to be. It would be strange if she felt attraction for him.She leveled a steady stare at him. Cade's shirt was half undone, showing his tense muscles underneath. Under the influence of alcohol, his skin took on a faint reddish hue. There was a heart-pounding tension in the air as if something was about to ignite. Occasionally, his slightly heavy breaths could be heard."You haven't been working out recently, have you?" Cameron asked.Cade was confused.Cameron pressed her hand against his chest, right below his ribs, and gave it a little push. After a moment, she commented, "Your muscles are a little soft

    Cade tossed his phone onto the table in frustration when he saw who entered. He pressed his hand against his brow."Leave. You should see Diane for a work uniform.""Are you feeling unwell, Mr. Carter?" Rosalia approached the desk with a glass of milk in hand. "I learned how to give massages. Why don't I…" "Get out."Cade abruptly got to his feet and avoided Rosalia's outstretched hand, causing the milk to spill all over him. He glanced down at his now-stained shirt with a dark expression and pressed his lips tightly together. After a long pause, he asked through clenched teeth, "Did my wife ask you to send this up?" Every syllable was pronounced with the gnashing of teeth.Rosalia froze under his piercing gaze."It really was Mrs. Carter who asked me to bring it to you, sir," she stammered."Leave. From now on, you will not enter my study unless you have permission."Rosalia had come to work as a housekeeper to land herself a wealthy husband. She had even bribed the manager

    On the next day, Cameron was discussing the fashion show with Monica when she suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind. "Cammie…" It was Blaire.Although Monica didn't fully know about Cameron's past, she didn't like Blaire at all. What kind of mother wouldn't protect their own child, after all?However, it wasn't appropriate for her to intervene as much even though she was Cameron's close friend. After all, it was Cameron's family matter.Monica stood up with her notebook in hand and said, "Well, I just remembered that there's still a few more invitations to send, so I'll go and take care of that. Let's discuss more about the fashion show later."After saying that, she glanced at Blaire and left without even greeting her.Cameron got up and nodded at Blaire. "Is something the matter?"She thought that her distant attitude last night had made it clear enough that she didn't want any more involvement with the Yorksworth family. She didn't expect that Blaire would come and loo

    Cameron pushed the door open. She looked tired as she laid down her bag. As she changed her shoes, she caught sight of the food on the dining table out of the corner of her eye."Diane, didn't I tell you I wasn't coming back for dinner? Why did you make so much food?"Diane glanced upstairs. "It's for Mr. Carter. He hasn't eaten yet."The moment Cade was mentioned, Cameron dropped the topic. She rubbed her sore shoulder as she headed upstairs. "I see.""Madam…" Diane called out hesitantly, looking troubled. "Mr. Carter asked you to call him down for dinner when you got home.""Me? Call him down for dinner?" Cameron stopped in her tracks and turned around in confusion. "Why?""Mr. Carter seems to be upset. Did you two have another fight?""So If he's in a bad mood, I'm supposed to go upstairs and invite him down to eat? Should I also say 'Your meal is ready, my liege!' while I'm at it?" Cameron scoffed. Her sarcastic smirk quickly faded. "He can eat if he wants. If he doesn't,
