Chapter 71

The tension still clung to Damion like a second skin as he stepped out of Adrian’s penthouse. The night air was crisp, but it did nothing to cool the simmering rage beneath his calm exterior. Adrian was playing a game—one he wasn’t fully revealing yet. And that unsettled Damion more than anything. Sliding into the backseat of his black Mercedes, he exhaled sharply before glancing at his driver. “Home,” he ordered. The car smoothly pulled away from the curb, the city lights casting fleeting reflections across the tinted windows. Damion loosened his tie slightly, his fingers brushing over his temple as he tried to piece together his brother’s true intentions. Adrian hadn’t denied anything. But he also hadn’t given him a straight answer. That meant he was waiting for something. And Damion had a feeling whatever it was—he wouldn’t like it. Meanwhile at a long distance in the night air, Carmela sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the untouched plate of food Lily had brought

Chapter 72

The estate was quiet when Carmela stepped inside, the grand foyer dimly lit by the soft glow of the chandelier above. The silence was a stark contrast to the storm inside her mind.She had spent the entire car ride thinking about Damion—about the way his voice had sounded over the phone, about the way he had left the restaurant so abruptly.Even now, she wasn’t sure if she had made a mistake by returning back home and obeying Damion’s wishes when asked her to come home.But then her eyes landed on him.Damion stood by the bar in the living area, pouring himself a drink, his broad shoulders tense. He had already changed out of his suit jacket, his white shirt slightly unbuttoned at the collar, the sleeves rolled up to his forearms.The sight of him stole her breath for a moment.He turned when he heard her footsteps, his gaze locking onto hers instantly.“You’re back,” he said, setting the glass down.“You are too,” she countered, her voice softer than she intended.He watched her clos

Chapter 73

Flashback – One Year AgoThe city skyline stretched endlessly in front of him, neon lights blinking against the dark canvas of the night. Lucas leaned against the balcony railing of the upscale lounge, his sharp eyes scanning the bustling crowd below.He had just returned to the city after years abroad, building his own fortune in silence, away from the suffocating expectations that came with his last name.He had no plans of getting tangled in old affairs.But then—“Elena.”She turned at the sound of her name, her red lips curling into a knowing smile the moment she saw him.“Well, well,” she purred, stepping closer. “Look who decided to crawl back.”Lucas chuckled, swirling the whiskey in his glass before taking a slow sip. “Miss me?”Elena tilted her head, her dark eyes glittering with mischief. “Should I have?”He smirked. “Depends.”She hummed, stepping beside him, resting her arms against the railing. “It’s been years, Lucas. I assumed you disappeared for good.”Lucas exhaled,

Chapter 74

Lucas’s car screeched to a halt outside Elena’s house. Rushing quickly. His fingers tightened around the steering wheel as he exhaled sharply, trying to steady his thoughts.Elena had sounded frantic on the phone—terrified in a way he had never heard before. And that alone unsettled him.He had known Elena for years. She was cunning, manipulative, and never the type to lose her composure.For her to be this panicked… something had gone terribly wrong. Really wrong. Shoving open the door, he strode toward the entrance, barely knocking before pushing inside.The house was eerily silent.Then—“Lucas.”Her voice was barely a whisper.His gaze snapped to the living room, where she stood frozen, her face pale.And at her feet—Blood.His breath hitched for half a second before his eyes trailed to the man lying motionless on the shattered remains of the coffee table.He moved before his thoughts could catch up, kneeling beside the body and pressing two fingers to the man’s neck.Nothing.

Chapter 75

The silence in Elena’s house was suffocating.She sat on the edge of her bed, her hands clasped so tightly in her lap that her knuckles turned white. The events of the night replayed in her head like a broken record—the sickening thud of his body hitting the glass table, the pool of blood spreading across her floor, Lucas’s firm grip on her wrist as he told her to calm the hell down.Her stomach twisted.It was done.The body was buried.And yet, the feeling of dread hadn’t left her.She reached for the wine glass on her bedside table, her fingers trembling as she brought it to her lips. The alcohol burned her throat, but it did little to soothe the panic clawing at her insides.A sudden vibration jolted her, making her nearly drop the glass.Her phone.She grabbed it quickly, her heart racing when she saw the name on the screen.Lucas.Her thumb hovered over the answer button for a second before she finally swiped. “Hello?”“You still panicking?”His voice was calm, smooth—as if they

Chapter 76

Elena adjusted the silk robe around her as she made her way down the stairs, still groggy from barely sleeping the night before. The moment she reached the bottom, a knock sounded at the door.Her heart skipped.She hadn’t been expecting anyone.Swallowing the nerves threatening to creep in, she smoothed a hand over her hair before unlocking the door.And there he was.Damion Blackwood.Dressed in a crisp black coat, hands shoved into his pockets, his cold gray eyes locked onto her with that unreadable expression she had always hated.“Damion,” she greeted, quickly masking her unease with a smile. “What a surprise.”His gaze flickered over her appearance before meeting her eyes again. “Heard the news. Thought I’d check in.”Elena blinked. “News?”Damion studied her reaction for a moment. “Didn’t you hear? A man went missing last night.”Elena’s blood ran cold.Damion tilted his head. “Turns out, he was last seen here.”Her breath caught. She wasn’t going to show any sign of weakness.

Chapter 77

Damion barely made it back to his car before his phone vibrated in his pocket.Leonard.He answered immediately. “Tell me you have something.”“Still digging,” Leonard’s voice came through, calm and professional. “But the account is heavily encrypted. Whoever set it up knew what they were doing.”Damion clenched his jaw. “How long?”“Give me a few hours.”“Make it quick.”He ended the call, tossing his phone onto the passenger seat.His mind was already calculating the next step.Elena had been stealing from him.And if she had the nerve to do it so openly, it meant she either thought she was untouchable… or she had someone powerful backing her.Lucas.His fingers tightened around the steering wheel.He didn’t believe for a second that Lucas had just coincidentally shown up at Elena’s house. There was something between them, something he hadn’t figured out yet. Something that had linked them together that he was yet to discover. He just needed a little amount of time to do so. But he

Chapter 78

Elena sat stiffly on the couch, her fingers curled tightly around the hem of her silk robe as the two officers in front of her watched her closely.The air in the room felt thick, suffocating.“Miss Carter,” one of the officers said, adjusting the notepad in his lap. “We received a report of a missing person—Michael Hayes. His sister called in early this morning, saying he hadn’t returned home.”Elena swallowed hard.Michael.The man she and Lucas had buried just hours ago.She forced a frown, feigning concern. “That’s terrible. But… I don’t understand. Why are you here?”The other officer, a sharp-eyed woman with dark hair pulled into a tight ponytail, leaned forward. “Because according to security footage and a witness statement, he was last seen entering your home.”Elena’s stomach twisted violently.Security footage? A witness?How much did they know?She schooled her features into a mask of confusion. “That doesn’t make any sense. I haven’t seen him in days.”The male officer stu

Chapter 79

Adrian’s grip on the desk tightened, his knuckles turning white as he stared at the shattered glass on the floor. His breath came in slow, measured exhales, his mind working through the implications of Damion’s latest move.That video was dangerous.If Damion released it, Adrian would lose everything he had just gained.His fingers tapped rhythmically against the wood, his mind already forming countermeasures. He had always known Damion would fight back—but he hadn’t expected him to move this fast.Adrian reached for his phone, dialing a number he rarely used. The line rang twice before a deep voice answered.“Adrian.”A slow smirk curled Adrian’s lips. “I need something handled.”“Like you did the last time? How urgent?”“Very.” Adrian leaned back in his chair, swirling the last remnants of whiskey in his glass. “And I don’t care what it costs.”“Consider it done.”Adrian ended the call, exhaling slowly.Damion wanted to play dirty?Fine.But Adrian had spent years in the dark, waiti

Chapter 80

The soft hum of classical music played in the background as Adrian sat at the head of a lavishly set dining table, an untouched glass of wine in front of him. The restaurant was exclusive, booked entirely for the evening under his name. A few select board members sat across from him, their postures tense despite the expensive ambiance.They knew why they were here.They also knew what he was capable of.Adrian picked up his glass, swirling the dark liquid as he leaned back in his chair. “You all look nervous.”One of the men, an older executive with thinning hair, cleared his throat. “It’s just… we didn’t expect to be called out so soon after the transition.”Adrian smirked. “I like to keep people on their toes.”The silence stretched, the air thick with unspoken tension.Another board member, a woman with sharp features, adjusted her napkin. “Is there something you need from us, Mr. Blackwood?”Adrian set his glass down with a soft clink. “Loyalty.”The word was spoken smoothly, but
