Chapter 91

Carmela sat motionless in the cold, sterile hospital waiting room, her fingers twisting the fabric of her bloodstained dress. The world around her had lost its color, reduced to dull shades of white and gray, as if reality itself had dimmed with Damion’s absence. The sounds of nurses moving in the distance, the beeping of machines, the faint murmur of conversations—it all felt distant.Like she wasn’t really there.Like none of this was real.The only thing grounding her was the ache in her chest, a deep, unbearable pain that made every breath feel like a punishment.Damion was gone.Dead.The words echoed in her mind, over and over, refusing to settle, refusing to make sense.Then, a rush of footsteps broke through the fog.Before she could react, arms wrapped around her. The familiar scent of vanilla and jasmine filled her nose as Lily clutched her tightly, her body trembling.“Carmela!” Lily’s voice cracked as she pulled back just enough to look at her face. “Oh my God—I came as fa

FLASHBACK - A Death That Was Never RealThe night before everything fell apart, before the gunshot, before Carmela’s world shattered, Damion sat in his private study, gripping his phone tightly. The dim glow of the desk lamp illuminated his sharp features, casting long shadows across the room. His expression was unreadable, but his mind was set.He pressed the call button.The phone rang twice before a voice answered.“Damion?”Lucas’s voice was steady, but Damion could hear the underlying concern.“We’re going through with it,” Damion said, his tone unwavering.Silence.Then, a slow exhale. “You’re sure about this?”Damion leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his hair. “I have no choice, Lucas. Adrian and Elena have been circling like vultures for too long. If I let my guard down now, they’ll tear everything apart—including Carmela.”Lucas hesitated. “And you think faking your death is the only way?”“It’s the best way,” Damion corrected. “Adrian is too careful. As long a

Chapter 93

The soft hum of the machines filled the dimly lit room. The rhythmic beeping of the monitors echoed in the silence, the only sign that Damion Blackwood was still alive.Lucas sat in a chair beside the hospital bed, his fingers tapping impatiently against his knee. His eyes flickered to the man lying unconscious before him, the faint rise and fall of his chest barely noticeable beneath the thick bandages wrapped around his torso.He was alive.Barely.But that was the plan, wasn’t it?To the rest of the world, Damion Blackwood was dead.To Adrian, to Elena, to Carmela… he no longer existed.Lucas exhaled sharply, rubbing a hand down his face. You better wake up soon, man. You have a war to fight.His phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen.Leonard.His grip tightened around the device as he answered. “Tell me you didn’t screw this up.”Leonard’s voice was sharp. “We have a problem.”Lucas sat up straighter. “What kind of problem?”A pause.Then—“Carmela knows.”Silence.Lucas’s jaw cl

Carmela barely had time to react before a firm hand gripped her wrist.“Hey—!”Lucas pulled her back sharply, spinning her around and dragging her toward the entrance of Adrian’s estate.“Let go of me!” she snapped, struggling against his grip. “I’m not done talking to him!”Lucas didn’t slow down. His fingers tightened around her wrist as he pulled her down the steps and toward his car parked just outside the iron gates.“Lucas—stop!” she cried, trying to wrench herself free. “I need answers!”He ignored her.The moment they reached his car, he yanked the passenger door open and practically shoved her inside.“Get in.”“Like hell I will!” Carmela seethed. “Who do you think you are?”Lucas exhaled sharply, his patience clearly thinning.“Carmela,” he said, his voice dangerously low, “either you get in the car, or I throw you over my shoulder and force you in.”Her eyes widened.He wouldn’t.Would he?Before she could test him, Lucas stepped forward, his expression so dark, so serious,

Chapter 95

The silence between them stretched as the weight of Lucas’s words settled deep in Carmela’s chest.“I made a promise to Damion. To protect you.”Carmela stared at him, her mind tangled in a storm of emotions.She wanted to believe him.She wanted to believe that he was on her side, that he truly meant to keep her safe.But after everything—after the lies, the deception, the secrets—how could she trust anyone?Lucas watched her carefully, his fingers lightly tapping against the table, a subtle sign of his own frustration.“You’re thinking too much,” he muttered.Carmela exhaled sharply, gripping the edge of the table. “How am I supposed to not think? Everything I knew—everything I believed—it was all a lie.”Lucas rubbed a hand down his face. “I know.”She let out a bitter laugh. “Do you? Do you really?”His jaw tightened, but he didn’t say anything.The waitress came by with Lucas’s coffee, placing it gently on the table before giving Carmela a questioning look.“I’m fine,” Carmela sa

Chapter 96

The dimly lit study smelled of old cigars and expensive whiskey. The curtains were drawn shut, allowing only the soft glow of the fireplace to cast shadows across the room.Adrian Blackwood sat behind a sleek black desk, his fingers lazily rolling a glass of bourbon between them. He had been expecting news, but what he had just been told made him pause.One of his most trusted men, Vincent, stood before him, shifting slightly under his cold, calculating gaze.Adrian took a slow sip of his drink, letting the silence stretch.Then, finally—“Say that again.”Vincent cleared his throat, his voice steady but cautious. “Damion’s body. It’s gone.”Adrian hummed, setting the glass down gently.“Gone,” he repeated, almost amused.“Yes, sir.”“And when were you planning to tell me this?” Adrian asked, his tone still calm, but the sharp edge behind it was unmistakable.Vincent tensed. “We only just confirmed it, sir. The moment I got word, I came straight here.”Adrian leaned back in his chair,

Chapter 97

The grand office building of Blackwood Enterprises towered against the morning sky, its sleek glass exterior reflecting the city below. The very name once symbolized power and legacy, a dynasty built over decades—first by Adrian and Damion’s father, then by Damion himself.Now, it belonged to Adrian Blackwood.He had taken control, claimed the title of CEO, and sat at the head of the table where his brother once ruled.And today, Carmela was about to shake that throne.Inside the CompanyThe tension in the boardroom was thick, an unspoken pressure filling the air as the senior members of the company gathered for their morning briefing. Adrian had yet to arrive, but the discussion had already begun.At the center of it all—Carmela.She had walked into the room unannounced, her presence alone demanding attention. She hadn’t stepped foot in the company since her marriage to Damion. Back then, she had only come in support of her husband, never for business. But today was different.Today,

Chapter 98

The call came in just as Adrian was leaving the company building. He had been controlling his temper for quite a while now and as Damion was out of site, Carmela was his next target. His phone buzzed in his pocket, and without breaking stride, he pulled it out and answered.“Speak.”“Sir.” A gruff voice filled the line. “We found her.”Adrian stopped mid-step, his fingers tightening around the phone. A relaxed smile swept over his face. “Where?”“The old facility just outside the city. The one Blackwood Enterprises used for research a few years back before shutting it down. She’s been hidden there under heavy security.”Adrian’s lips curved into a slow smirk.So this was where Damion had tucked her away all this time. That cunning bastard. So smart of him. Who could have thought?“Wait for me there,” Adrian ordered. “Don’t make a move until I arrive.”“Yes, sir.”The call ended.Adrian exhaled, sliding his phone back into his pocket. His blood thrummed with anticipation.For years,

Chapter 99

The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor filled the silent hospital room, its steady pulse marking the fragile line between life and death.Lucas sat in the chair beside the bed, his elbow propped on the armrest, fingers pressed against his temple. His eyes were bloodshot, a mixture of exhaustion and frustration clouding his face.It had been days.Days of sitting in this hospital room, waiting.Waiting for something—a sign, a movement, anything to prove that Damion Blackwood was still in there, still fighting.And then—A sharp gasp shattered the silence.Lucas’s head snapped up.The body that had been lying still for so long suddenly tensed, Damion’s chest rising in a shaky breath. His fingers twitched, the muscles in his arms flexing weakly as if testing their strength.Then, with a slow, agonizing effort, his eyelids fluttered open.Lucas shot up from his chair.“Damion?”Damion’s eyes were unfocused, disoriented, as if the world around him wasn’t quite real. His breathing was un

Chapter 100

The night was thick with tension, the air cold and damp as Adrian Blackwood walked through the darkened woods, his steps firm and unyielding. The rustling of leaves under his shoes was the only sound, apart from the faint, ragged breathing of the old woman beside him.Catherine Blackwood—his grandmother.The woman who had tried to kill him.The woman who had spent her entire life ensuring he would never inherit the Blackwood legacy.And yet, here she was.Leading him to the very thing she had once hidden from him.The key.Adrian smirked to himself, watching as she struggled to keep up with his pace. She was old, frail, her once-powerful aura diminished by years of manipulation and failed plans.Now, she had no choice but to obey.A fallen queen.“Keep up, Grandmother,” Adrian drawled, watching as she stumbled over an exposed root.Catherine shot him a glare, her silver hair gleaming under the dim moonlight. “If you’re so eager to get there, why don’t you carry me?” she sneered.Adria
