CHAPTER 72.I trained him better than that.As they stepped off the runway, the crowd gasped in surprise. But when they recognized Ivy and Leon walking toward them, they erupted into applause. The stained dresses were a hit, and Ivy and Leon exchanged smiles as they made their way down the runway.Once off the runway, Ivy turned to Leon, her eyes shimmering with tears. "Thank you," she said, her voice trembling. "Thank you for saving me, for saving the show."Leon returned her smile, warmth radiating from his eyes. "We make a good team, Ivy," he replied. "We always have. This is as important to you as it is to me."For a moment, Ivy forgot their crazy past and pulled him into a tight hug, her face lighting up with a radiant smile.A few minutes later, the host called her out to finalize the deal and sign the last papers with Damian. She quickly slipped off her heels and headed straight outside. As she walked the runway, she glanced around, hoping to spot him in the crowd."What a silly

CHAPTER 74.You’re powerless.The following morning, around 5:00 AM, Ivy was already in the sitting room. She paced back and forth, repeatedly dialing Damian's number, hoping he would finally answer. It had been twenty-four hours since he had gone missing, and he still wasn’t picking up his phone.Meanwhile, Lucas stood on the balcony of the neighboring building. Perched on the rooftop, he was a bit distant from the main building where Ivy and the others stayed. He paced nervously, his mind racing with fear and worry about how Damian was coping with the bloodletting he was enduring. Lucas was the only one in the family who knew that Madam Victoria was subjecting Damian to this horrific treatment.He couldn't fathom how she could hurt her own son in such a desperate attempt to cure his illness.As he walked, a faint cry for help reached his ears. He stopped and listened intently as the cry grew louder and more desperate. Lucas's heart raced as he recognized the voice—it was Damian's. Bu

The man smirked. “I'm sorry, sir, but you have no authority over what happens in here, so I'd advise that you leave, or I will be forced to ask them to drag you down the stairs.”Tears welled in Lucas's eyes, his shoulders slumped, and his voice quivered as he spoke. “Let him go! He might just die from the pain. Please, I'm begging!”The man's lips parted into a deep smile. He said, “This is my job, and I hope you'll let me do it without any drama. Please, Mr. Lucas, take your leave, or I'd love to help you do that by all means possible.”With that, he walked back inside the room and slammed the door even before Lucas could follow him in. Lucas hit the door and began to scream. “Open up the fucking door! Let him go! I said let him go!”After a few minutes, Damian started to scream again in agony while Lucas was still outside. He slid down the door, hunched over, shoulders trembling with silent sobs as he kept hearing Damian scream for someone to come save him.Lucas made his way back

CHAPTER.I slowly sipped my wine, my legs crossed as I fixed my eyes on the television. I heard the press secretary telling the public about the campaign shift, but that wasn't my concern anymore.I just wanted to take my father out of Washington, D.C. He might have been a criminal in his past life, but staying in a cage for over a decade is enough punishment for his crimes. I wouldn't let my mom touch a hair on his head again.My phone rang, and when I picked it up, it was my dad. “What is it, Dad?” I asked.“Everything is wrong, Taylor. I have been locked in here for over two hours now, and all I could watch is the news. I should be on a plane now. What is happening?”I sighed. “The president has refused to give you any pardon, so I'm sorry, but you'll have to stay in there until your cases are filed again.”For the next few minutes, there was a sudden silence, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on in his mind. He might be my father, but he still needed to answer to the l

Leon hesitated, unsure of how to respond. "Well, I... uh... I did offer, yes."Ivy's smile widened. "Yes, he did! And I would love to join him. Wouldn't that be lovely, Hailey?” She said, trying to get under her skin.” You can tidy up the office while I’m gone." Hailey's expression darkened, her eyes flashing with anger. She wanted to confront Leon—after all, she had ordered lunch for them both, and here he was, going out with his ex-girlfriend.Forcing a smile, she replied, "Okay, that’s fine. I’ll see you both later." Ivy's laughter sliced through the tension like a knife. "Oh, come on, Hailey. Don’t be like that. Leon and I have a lot to discuss... about the launch, of course." She paused deliberately, gauging Hailey's reaction, and it was exactly what she wanted.Leon met Hailey's gaze, a silent apology passing between them. But Ivy's grip on his arm was relentless, pulling him toward the door. "Shall we, Leon? I'm famished. Let’s take your car please” She said in a very casual
