All Chapters of The Heir of My Enemy Is My Secret Lover.: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 41: Protect the Poor GirlLunch couldn’t have been more chaotic. Only Zen and Zara seemed to enjoy the situation until Cintia made an announcement.“Lavinia... why don’t you try the dessert? The pudding here is divine; it has a special ingredient,” Cintia teased, serving Lavinia a slice.“No!” Zara immediately shouted, alarmed as she grabbed the pudding. “This stuff shouldn’t even be on this table! What do you think you’re doing? Trying to get accused of attempted murder?”“I’ll eat it instead. It’s not going to kill me,” Samuel said, taking the pudding and having a spoonful.“What’s wrong? It’s just pudding,” Cintia said with a malicious smile, her eyes glinting with a strange light.“You know very well Lavinia has a life-threatening allergy to eggs and anything derived from them,” Zara said indignantly.“Let her be. If she wants to provoke me, that’s her problem,” Lavinia sighed indifferently, while Zen remained frozen by this new revelation.“That’s enough! I’ve lost my app

Chapter 43: "Interest in What?""Certainly, she is a very interesting woman," he said, smiling as if harboring a secret."I imagine how sad she must be... losing her sister in such a cruel way," Valmont sighed, pensively. Despite his words, both men kept their eyes fixed on each other while discreetly observing Lavinia, who shifted slightly, adjusting herself on the seat, still asleep.The rest of the trip passed in silence. Zen continued studying Lavinia with an almost hypnotic intensity; she seemed deeply asleep, oblivious to the attention she was attracting. Slowly, he ran the tip of his fingers along the soft curve of her cheekbone. An involuntary smile appeared on his lips as he admired every detail, as if he were gazing at a unique work of art, the most beautiful his eyes had ever seen.So immersed was he in his contemplation that he almost didn’t notice Valmont’s attentive gaze, observing him with an inscrutable expression, as if deciphering the thoughts behind every gesture."

Chapter 45: Unprotected Girl?Zen arrived a bit later, finding her trying to cover the tear in her skirt, holding the fabric tightly as she walked toward the elevator.“What am I going to do now?” she muttered under her breath, pressing the elevator button quickly, praying no one would see her in this state.“What happened to you?” Zen asked, making her freeze. She shut her eyes and forced a smile, even though her face was red with embarrassment.“Looks like I need to buy better clothes. Hopefully, with this salary, I can afford some nice things,” she said nervously, biting her lower lip as she stared at the elevator panel.“Come with me,” he said suddenly, grabbing her arm.“What are you doing?”“I’m taking you to buy a new outfit. How can you walk in like this?” he asked, his concern evident. Lavínia averted her eyes, feeling even more flustered in the moment.“I’m not going anywhere right now. Do you think you own the company? I have a schedule to stick to!” she snapped, anxious.“

Chapter 47: "Is This Your New Home?"Lavínia woke up earlier than usual, got ready, and left without informing Zara or Samuel. She couldn't take the car either, so she called a taxi and headed out. She went to a neighborhood she already knew a little."Drive a bit slower," she requested while analyzing the area carefully until she spotted Zen. He was already dressed and walking in the opposite direction of her car. "Stop the car, please," she said softly, then crouched down so he wouldn't see her.She kept her eyes on him, noticing he was spinning a key on his finger until he stopped in front of a house and went inside."Looks like he’s not doing so bad now," she sighed, looking around. The house had no more furniture; everything had been cleared out during the same night while everyone was asleep."Not doing so bad?" Lavínia said as she entered, leaving him stunned as she curiously surveyed the place."You?" he murmured, narrowing his eyes as if he were dreaming at an inopportune mom

Chapter 49: The Case Will Be Won"Where did you buy these suits? They’re really nice, tailor-made, and... so intricate," she commented, examining them."My friend bought them at a thrift store.""The thirty-thousand-dollar watch too?" she asked with irony in her tone."The truth is, it’s all borrowed. Do you think I would have these things? He’s happy that I’m in such an important company and said appearance mattered, so he lent them to me.""What is he? A billionaire?""Yeah... I think so." He pressed his lips together, shrugging."And he still talks about me? Because I benefit from my rich friend?""He didn’t give me these things, he lent them to me. But I don’t live off of him; I still work and take care of my stuff. Besides... I thought you were interested in reading the documents I managed to obtain.""Of course!" she confirmed, sitting on the bed and pulling out the evidence from the envelope, tossing them onto the bed. At first glance, Lavínia was speechless when she saw everyt
