Chapter Ninety-one: A risk worth taking

Lexi’s POVThe house was silent, save for the steady ticking of the antique grandfather clock in the hallway. Every shadow felt like a pair of watching eyes, and every breath I took felt stolen.Julian was asleep. His arm had been wrapped around my waist when I slipped out of bed, but I had spent years learning how to move without waking anyone. A survival skill. One I never thought I’d need with the man I once believed would protect me.But Julian was not my savior. He was my cage.And tonight, I was walking straight into the lion’s den.The guards outside his study barely glanced at me when I stepped into the hall, my silk robe draped loosely over the dress I had hurriedly slipped on. They had been trained well—never question Julian’s fiancée. Never interfere.But I wasn’t going to Julian.I made my way down the back staircase, each step measured and silent. The basement was cold, a sharp contrast to the rest of the house. I knew where he was keeping Liam. Julian always kept his ene

Chapter ninety-two: The Runaway Bride

Lexi’s POVThe morning of my wedding felt like a funeral.The air was thick with the scent of roses and champagne, the silk gown draped over the edge of my bed a cruel reminder of the life I was about to chain myself to. The mansion was alive with murmured voices, the distant clatter of silverware, and the occasional burst of laughter from the guests who had arrived early.They had no idea.No idea that the bride they were waiting for would never walk down the aisle.I exhaled sharply, my hands trembling as I reached for the small overnight bag I had packed the night before. I barely had time to think before the door creaked open, and a shadow slipped inside.Liam.His blue eyes burned with urgency as he shut the door behind him. His suit was different from the bloodied, torn clothing he had worn in the basement. He must have stolen it. A fresh cut marred his cheekbone, but other than that, he looked completely composed, as if he hadn’t just spent days being tortured.“We need to go,”

Chaptet ninety three: false freedom

Lexi’s POVThe jet finally touched down on the barren tarmac of a remote airstrip, its engines winding down, leaving behind only the silence of a country too far removed from everything I knew. I stared out the small window as the landscape stretched endlessly, nothing but mountains and vast stretches of open land. It wasn’t the escape I had imagined. It wasn’t even close.As we taxied toward a dilapidated building in the distance, my heart sank. The place was surrounded by overgrown weeds and looked as though it had been abandoned for years. The walls were cracked and weathered, windows shattered, and rust clung to every corner. It wasn’t the life I had dreamed of with Liam. It wasn’t the freedom I had hoped for.Liam, however, didn’t seem phased by the decrepitude of the place. He had been eerily silent for the last few hours, his gaze locked onto the horizon. He looked almost… satisfied. The moment the jet came to a complete stop, he was out of his seat, unbuckling his seatbelt and

Chapter Ninety Four: Broken Bonds

Lexi’s POVThe last thing I remember is Liam’s twisted smile, then the suffocating pressure around my throat. I gasped for air, struggling against his grip, but the darkness closed in fast, swallowing everything.I woke with a shock, the cold splash of water slapping against my face. I sucked in a breath, sharp and panicked, my head spinning as I tried to gather my bearings. My eyes flew open, and my surroundings hit me like a wall. The dim light. The thick, musty air. My body was stiff, unyielding.Panic surged as I tried to move, but my limbs were locked down—chained to the bedposts. My heart raced in terror.“Liam…” I rasped, barely able to get the name past my dry lips. The low sound of movement caught my attention, and I looked up.He was there, standing near the door, arms crossed, his icy gaze fixed on me.And beside him… Kayla.My breath hitched. “Kayla?” My voice cracked as I tried to make sense of what I was seeing.Kayla didn’t even acknowledge me. She stood beside Liam lik

Chapter Ninety five: Chains of Deceit

Kayla’s POV Kayla’s eyes flashed with something bitter, something raw that Lexi hadn’t seen before. It was the look of someone who had broken, someone who had crossed a line from which they couldn’t return. “Do you get it now, Lexi?” Kayla’s voice broke the silence, sharp and venomous. “Do you understand why I’m doing this?” She stepped forward, her words pouring out like a dam that had finally given way. “Everything always worked out for you. You always had what I wanted. You got the love, the protection, the damn freedom. While I was stuck in your shadow, barely able to breathe.” Lexi’s chest tightened as Kayla’s words cut through her, deeper than any physical pain. She couldn’t understand how this had happened, how the girl she had raised, loved, and protected had turned into this. But there it was, raw and unfiltered in Kayla’s voice. “You never had to fight for anything,” Kayla continued, her face twisted in disgust. “Everything was handed to you on a silver platter. And I’m

Chapter Ninety six: Torn between power and pain

Lexi’s POVThe room smelled of damp cement and iron. The cuffs around my wrists had bitten into my skin, leaving deep, angry marks. My body ached, my stomach twisted in hunger, but I refused to break.Three days. Three days of pain, of isolation, of Kayla standing over me like a stranger.I had fought at first, screamed, cursed, demanded answers. But now, all I had left was quiet defiance.The door creaked open again. Footsteps. Slow. Calculated.Liam.He crouched beside me, his fingers gripping my chin, forcing my gaze to his. His emerald eyes gleamed with amusement.“Still fighting, love?” he murmured. “Impressive. But unnecessary.”I clenched my jaw, refusing to let him see my pain.Liam’s smirk deepened. “Julian’s searching for you, you know.” He leaned in, his breath warm against my ear. “He’s tearing apart the city. But I wonder… how far will he go before he gives up?”I swallowed the bile rising in my throat. He was lying. Julian wouldn’t stop. He wouldn’t.Liam tilted his head

Chspter ninety seven: Torn Alliegences

Kayla’s POVKayla’s heart raced as she stood in front of Liam, her mind spinning with the realization that Julian was getting too close. The search was escalating, the clues, the whispers, everything was falling into place. Julian was relentless, and it was only a matter of time before he uncovered the truth.“I told you we didn’t have much time,” she hissed, her voice cold, low with urgency. She couldn’t afford to waste another minute. Lexi, her prized possession, was slipping through her fingers, and Julian’s search was becoming a real threat. She needed to act fast—before Julian found them, before Lexi had a chance to slip away.Liam didn’t flinch, his eyes calculating as ever. “You’re panicking,” he muttered, turning back to the window as he studied the moonlight.“You don’t get it, Liam,” Kayla snapped, stepping closer to him. “He’s closer than you think. If we wait too long, we lose everything. All of this, everything we’ve worked for, it will fall apart.”Liam exhaled a long, c

Chapter Ninety Eight: Innocent lost

Kayla’s POVThe air in the room was thick with tension as Kayla paced in front of Liam, her thoughts spinning faster than ever. Lexi’s resistance was becoming a problem, and her time was running out. The papers were one thing, but the baby… The baby had become an unexpected complication.She stopped, turning to face Liam, a cold smile playing on her lips. “We need to deal with it, Liam. The pregnancy. It’s a weakness, and it’s not part of the plan.”Liam’s eyes widened, his face hardening as if he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “You want to… what? Kayla, this is an innocent child. What the hell are you thinking?”Kayla’s gaze didn’t waver. “I’m thinking of the bigger picture. The baby is a liability now. If we let it live, it will tie Lexi to us even more. It’s better off gone.”Liam shook his head, disbelief flashing in his eyes. “No. I won’t be part of this. You’re asking me to help you kill an innocent child. I can’t. I won’t, even though the child isn't mine“.Kayla took a

Chapter Ninety nine: Betrayal's last breath

Julian’s POV The sterile, cold lights of the operating room suddenly became the backdrop to a chaos that no one had expected. The surgeon, poised and prepared to carry out the horrific task, looked up in alarm as the door crashed open with a deafening sound. Before the man could react, Julian’s men flooded the room, their guns raised, and the situation erupted in a blur of movement. The quiet of the room was shattered by the sound of a gunshot. It was sharp and immediate, causing the surgeon to freeze in his tracks. But that was just the beginning. The next round of gunfire cut through the tension like a knife. In an instant, Julian knew this was no longer just about Lexi. This was war. His gaze never wavered from Lexi as his men stormed the room, each one firing, taking down the hired guns. A shot echoed off the walls, the sound so crisp it made Julian flinch. But his eyes were fixed on the pale figure of Lexi, her body motionless, unconscious on the operating table. Her breathi

Chapter 100: Holding on

Julian’s POVIt had been days, maybe weeks. Time had lost all meaning in the sterile confines of the hospital. Lexi lay motionless in the bed, her body hooked up to machines, every beep of the heart monitor a reminder that she was still here, but not really here. Her pulse was steady, but the doctor had given up hope. They said the trauma had been too much, the stress had taken its toll. They told him to let go.But Julian couldn’t.He refused to listen to them.Every day, he stood by her side, his hand gripping hers, praying for a miracle.“Lexi, you remember that night we spent in Paris?” he whispered, his voice thick with emotion, though no one could hear him except for her. “The rain was coming down, but we stayed out anyway. You, me, the Eiffel Tower, and our stupid jokes. You laughed like nothing mattered. I remember that smile. That smile I can’t live without.”He brushed his fingers over her hair, tenderly tucking a strand behind her ear. There was so much he hadn’t told her.
