Chapter 521 Trap

(Thomas)The rhythmic hum of the engine faded as I pulled into the driveway, the weight of my thoughts heavier than ever. The mansion loomed in the twilight, its large windows glowing softly against the encroaching darkness. The sight, once a symbol of stability and success, now felt like a battleground, its walls barely containing the tension between Lydia and me.I cut the engine and sat for a moment, gripping the steering wheel, my knuckles white against the leather. Every instinct I had screamed at me to act, to protect, to confront, to end the danger looming over my family. But the betrayal I felt from Lydia’s secrecy, combined with my own guilt for not recognizing the threats sooner, clouded my judgment.Lydia’s confession had hit me harder than I wanted to admit. I had always prided myself on being the kind of man who could handle anything. Business, boardroom battles, personal threats, well, I’d faced them all. But knowing that Lydia had borne the weight of Lucien’s threats a

Chapter 522 Not Impulsive

(Lydia)I paced the length of the living room, my mind spinning as I replayed the conversation with Thomas over and over again. He had been so calm, so resolute, outlining his plan to meet Lucien. His confidence should have reassured me, but it didn’t. Instead, it filled me with a gnawing anxiety I couldn’t shake. Thomas thought he could control the situation, but he didn’t fully understand how dangerous Lucien could be.Lucien wasn’t just greedy; he was calculating, vengeful, and utterly without conscience. The idea of drawing him into a trap made my stomach churn with dread. What if something went wrong? What if Lucien turned the tables on us? The stakes were too high.I tried to keep my hands busy, folding the kids’ laundry and tidying the room, but even the familiar routines couldn’t calm my racing mind. The quiet of the mansion was oppressive, each creak and groan of the old house amplifying the tension. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and hardly recognized the woman s

Chapter 523 Not Going To Break

(Lydia)I walked into Ruby’s boutique, the familiar scent of fresh flowers and designer fabrics wrapping around me like a comfort I didn’t know I needed. Ruby was behind the counter, speaking with a customer, her expression poised but warm, the embodiment of her boutique’s inviting yet exclusive atmosphere. She glanced up and caught my eye, her smile faltering slightly as she noticed the tension in my face.“I’ll be with you in a second,” she mouthed.I nodded, trying to calm the storm of thoughts swirling in my head. As she finished with the customer, I drifted toward a display of dresses, running my fingers over the delicate fabrics. Ruby always had impeccable taste, each piece reflecting her eye for elegance. It made me wonder how she managed to focus on her passion while life outside these walls seemed to crumble around us.When the boutique emptied, Ruby walked over, slipping an arm around my shoulders, “Hey, you look like you’ve got the weight of the world on you. Let’s go to t

Chapter 524 A Specific Favor

(Thomas)The warehouse loomed ahead like a relic from another time, its rusted exterior and shattered windows giving it an eerie, post-apocalyptic feel. My car idled for a moment as I surveyed the desolate surroundings. This was the kind of place Lucien would pick, a setting straight out of a crime thriller where villains held all the cards. The irony wasn’t lost on me, but I wasn’t here to play games.I stepped out of the car, my steps measured as I approached the entrance. Every instinct screamed at me to turn back, but I couldn’t. Lydia’s face flashed in my mind, the way her voice had cracked when she begged me to be careful. This wasn’t just about Lucien. It was about keeping my family safe.George and the team were stationed in a van a block away, their surveillance equipment primed. I’d insisted on backup, though we’d agreed they’d remain hidden unless things went sideways. As I pushed the heavy metal door open, my senses heightened, scanning for any signs of ambush.Inside, the

Chapter 525 White Lies

(Thomas)The drive back from the warehouse was cloaked in a suffocating silence, broken only by the hum of the engine and the occasional crackle of static from my phone’s connection to George. The events of the meeting with Lucien replayed in my mind, each detail etching itself deeper into my thoughts. His demand for Nathan’s life wasn’t just outrageous; it was a calculated attempt to push me to my limit, to test how far I’d go to protect my family.But even as I navigated the dark, empty streets, I knew one thing for certain, I couldn’t tell Lydia about this.Lydia had enough on her shoulders. Her guilt over Clara, the stress of keeping secrets, and the constant fear for our family’s safety weighed her down like anchors. Throwing Lucien’s murderous ultimatum into the mix would only shatter her. It was my job to bear this burden, not hers.Lucien had miscalculated if he thought I’d play his game. Killing Nathan was out of the question, no matter how he tried to frame it. But I needed

Chapter 526 Smart Woman

(Jack)I stared at the tumbler of whiskey on my desk, its amber liquid catching the dim light of my office. I’d poured it half an hour ago but hadn’t taken a single sip. The weight of what I needed to do pressed down on me like a lead jacket, suffocating and unrelenting.Ruby.Her name alone conjured a thousand memories, some warm, others sharp, all of them tangled in the complicated web we’d spun over the timeline of our relationship. She’d moved on, or at least she was trying to. And here I was, about to drag her back into a mess she didn’t deserve to be in.The truth about Jean Dupont, or rather, Marco, was a truth I’d been holding onto ever since I saw them at that hotel. Every instinct I had screamed to protect Ruby, to shield her from the man I knew was dangerous. But every day I kept silent felt like a betrayal.How would she look at me when I finally told her? Would there be anger, disappointment, hurt? All of the above?I ran a hand through my hair and exhaled sharply, pushin

Chapter 527 Something Much More Valuable

(Jack)I stood in front of Marco, my fists clenched at my sides. We were in an empty alley behind a posh restaurant, the kind of place where people came to forget about the rest of the world. The sharp chill of the evening air cut through my jacket, but I hardly noticed. My focus was entirely on Marco, standing just a few feet in front of me, the look on his face a mask of casual amusement.I had cornered him at the restaurant and called him out here to talk about what he was doing lately.I hated him. I hated that he had wormed his way into Ruby’s life, spinning his web and pretending to be something he wasn’t. I hated that I hadn’t put a stop to it sooner, and now I was standing here, trying to keep her safe from a man who wasn’t what he seemed.“You’re out of your depth, Jack,” Marco said, his voice smooth like silk, but with a layer of something darker underneath. He was looking at me like I was an insignificant annoyance, and I could feel the contempt radiating off him.I took a

Chapter 528 That’s Not Who I Am

(Jack)The moment I stepped into Thomas’s office, I could tell something was off. There was a heaviness in the air, the kind that hangs over you when you know something’s wrong but can’t quite put your finger on it. Thomas was sitting at his desk, his back to the door, staring at a stack of papers like they were the last thing on earth that mattered. His usual composure, the one I’d always admired, seemed to have faltered.I closed the door quietly behind me, but Thomas didn’t acknowledge my presence at first. It was as if he was lost in his thoughts, consumed by whatever battle was raging inside his head. I waited for a moment, watching him, before I finally spoke up.“Thomas, we need to talk.”At the sound of my voice, he straightened slightly, as if the words snapped him out of his trance. He turned in his chair, his eyes meeting mine. There was something in them, a weariness, a kind of frustration, that made me hesitate. Whatever was going on, I had a feeling I wasn’t going to lik

Chapter 529 Find A Way Out

(Lydia)I sat at the kitchen counter, absentmindedly stirring the mug of coffee in front of me. The steam rose, curling in delicate tendrils, but I hardly noticed. My mind was elsewhere. It was on Thomas. He had come home late last night, distant, almost cold. The moment I looked at him, I knew something was wrong. He wasn’t telling me everything, and I could feel the weight of his silence pressing on me.I had tried to brush it off, tried to go on as if everything were normal. But deep down, I knew it wasn’t. There was something he was hiding from me. I could feel it in the air, a tension that lingered between us like an unspoken word, heavy and suffocating.The thing that bothered me the most was Clara. After everything that had happened with Lucien, I had been trying to reach her. I’d called the number she had given me, but it had been turned off. Each time I dialed, my stomach churned, a sense of dread creeping over me. Why was she suddenly unreachable?I couldn’t wait any longer.

Chapter 530 Hear Him Out

(Thomas)The night had settled in around us like a heavy blanket, its stillness stretching between us as we lay in bed. I stared at the ceiling, the dim light from the bedside lamp casting faint shadows on the walls. Lydia had turned on her side, her back to me, her breathing steady, though I could feel the weight of everything that had happened today. The silence between us was thick with things unsaid. It was a quiet that spoke volumes, one that said we were both hurting, both scared, and yet neither of us had the words to bridge the gap between us.I had told her about Lucien, about his threat, about the impossible position I was in. But there was still more. So much more. My chest felt tight, a pressure building inside me, and I knew there was something else I had to tell her. Something I couldn’t keep hidden any longer. I couldn’t pretend that everything was okay when it wasn’t.I rolled over, propping myself up on my elbow, watching the rise and fall of Lydia’s back as she breat
