655 Margaret slammed her hand on the armrest, her face flushed with anger. “This isn’t the first time, Darwin. Do you hear me? It’s the second!” Darwin stopped pacing, his head snapping toward her. His eyes narrowed, his voice low and laced with disbelief. “Second? Are you telling me this happene

656 James nodded, his expression stoic as he straightened his cuffs. “The first step is to gather evidence. We’ll need to comb through the accounts and document every discrepancy. If Julius thinks he can wriggle out of this, he’s sorely mistaken.” Darwin smirked darkly, his arms crossed. “Oh, I’ll make sure he doesn’t. He’s not just a thief; he’s a coward. And cowards always leave trails when they run.” Margaret sighed heavily, rising from her seat and pacing the length of the room. “You don’t need to remind me of that, Darwin. But I’m worried. If we go after him publicly, this could damage the family’s reputation even further.” Darwin leaned against the mantelpiece, gesturing sharply. “Reputation? Mother, Julius already dragged our name through the mud. If we don’t act, people will think we’re weak—or worse, complicit.” James interjected, calm as ever. “Darwin’s right. However, we should tread carefully. A public scandal will attract unwanted attention, and that’s the last th

657 Darwin trudged to his room, his footsteps echoing heavily against the marble floor. The Blackwood mansion, once a place of pride and grandeur, now felt like a gilded cage. Each step down its endless corridors seemed heavier than the last, as if the weight of his thoughts were pressing him further into the ground. When he finally reached his chambers, he pushed the heavy oak door closed behind him and leaned against it, exhaling sharply. The tension in his chest didn’t ease, though. The confrontation with his mother, the bitter memories of Julius’s betrayal, and the haunting face of Zoe—all of it swirled together in a storm he couldn’t escape. The soft crackle of the fire greeted him, but its warmth didn’t reach him. Darwin crossed the room and sat heavily on the edge of his bed. He didn’t bother to remove his boots; instead, he stared blankly at the ornate rug beneath his feet. His fingers curled into the fabric of the duvet as his jaw tightened. A soft knock came at the doo

A sudden knock broke him out of his thoughts. He groaned. “What now?” “It’s me.” The voice was familiar, sharp and confident. **Dencia.** Darwin hesitated before answering. “What do you want, Dencia?” “Let me in, and I’ll tell you.” With a sigh, Darwin opened the door. Dencia strolled

659 "You know why I’m here," Darwin said, his voice hard. Zoe nodded, her hands still trembling in her lap. "Yes." Darwin’s gaze didn’t soften. "Then tell me," he said, his voice low and cold. "Why did you do it? Why betray me after everything I’ve done for you?" Zoe’s lip quivered, and for a lo

James watched the exchange, his confusion growing. He rarely questioned Darwin’s motives, but this situation was unusual even by his employer’s standards. The two women climbed into the backseat, their small bags placed carefully at their feet. Darwin followed, settling beside them. As the door cl

“Yes, you do,” he said firmly. “This isn’t about what you think you deserve. It’s about doing what’s right. And letting you waste away in this cell isn’t right.” Zoe’s hands trembled as she reached for the check, her fingers brushing against his. When she finally took it, she stared at it for a lo

Julius’s lips parted, but no words came. "Answer me!" she snapped. "I—" he stammered, his voice trembling. "I didn’t mean to—" The slap came before he could finish, her gloved hand connecting with his cheek in a resounding crack. "You didn’t mean to?" she repeated, her tone dripping with dis

William flinched at her words but didn’t argue. Instead, he gave a small nod, his expression a mixture of guilt and regret. --- When they arrived at the facility, it loomed over them like a fortress. High walls surrounded the compound, and armed guards patrolled the perimeter. The air was cold an
