Andrea wiped away a tear. "I don't know. I thought I did, but now... everything is so complicated."Ellen squeezed her hand. "Then take some time to figure it out. Don't rush into anything. And remember, you don't have to do this alone. I'm here for you."Andrea felt a surge of gratitude. "Thank you, Ellen. I needed to hear that."The next morning, Andrea arrived at the company feeling a mix of emotions.

"You think you can just leave?" he roared. "If you walk out that door, I'll cut off your parents. They won't have anything. They'll be out on the streets!"Andrea froze, her hand on the doorknob. She turned slowly to face him, her heart pounding in her chest. "You wouldn't."Leo's face twisted into a sneer. "Try me. I'm the one providing for them. Without me, they have nothing. And don't you dare complain about me cheating. You're always too busy with work to have time for me. What did you expect?"Andrea felt tears of frustration and anger welling up. "You bastard," she whispered. "How could you use my parents against me?"Leo took a step closer, his voice low and menacing. "You think you can control everything, Andrea? You're nothing without me. You need me, just like your parents need me."Andrea's mind raced. She couldn't let him win, but she couldn't abandon her parents either.

"He was attacked by a group of men," her mother explained, her voice cracking. "They came looking for him because of his debts. We don’t know the full extent of his injuries yet, but it doesn’t sound good."Andrea felt a wave of panic wash over her. "I’m coming to the hospital right now."When Andrea arrived at the hospital, she was met with a whirlwind of activity. The emergency room was bustling with doctors and nurses, and the atmosphere was tense. She rushed to the reception desk, her heart pounding."I’m here to see Mr. Sanchez," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. "I’m his daughter."The receptionist looked up, her expression sympathetic. "I’ll need you to wait here for a moment. I’ll let the doctor know you’re here."Andrea nodded, her mind racing with worry.

Mrs. Sanchez stood by the window, her silhouette illuminated by the fading light of dusk. The luxury of their penthouse apartment felt suffocating, a gilded cage built on the foundations of ambition and deceit. Her fingers tightened around the curtain, a slight tremor betraying her unease."Is this really the path we’re taking, Hector?" she asked, her voice wavering with uncertainty."Andrea isn’t some pawn you can just move around on a chessboard. She’s our daughter."Mr. Sanchez, a tall man with a presence that commanded attention, turned away from the view of the city skyline. His expression remained stern, eyes narrowed in determination."Carmen, you underestimate the stakes here. This is not just about Andrea; this is about our family’s future.""But at what cost?" Carmen pressed, stepping closer to him. "We’ve already done enough damage.Andrea... she’s been through so much. And Evan—he’s not the same man we used to know. He’s smarter, stronger. After everything, do you really t
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 94: Numb Heart
The air between them was thick with unspoken tension, and Carmen felt a pang of guilt for not pushing harder, for not defending Andrea’s right to choose her own path.Upstairs, Andrea paused at the top of the staircase, having overheard the conversation. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as she processed her parents' exchange.The sting of betrayal she felt was less about their expectations and more about the cold, calculated way they discussed her life as if she were a pawn in their game.She took a deep breath and steadied herself. There was no use in confronting them now; it would only lead to more arguments and attempts to manipulate her. Instead, she decided to quietly gather some of her things and leave for her sister Ellen’s place, where she could clear her head and figure out her next steps.As she walked down the hall towards her bedroom, she felt a strange detachment, as if she were floating above herself, watching her life unfold from a distance.When

They continued their work, the air between them now clear of the unspoken tension that had been hanging over them. Andrea felt lighter, knowing that she had made the right choice in coming clean. It was a small step, but it was the beginning of a path towards reclaiming her integrity and her future.Back at Ellen’s place, Andrea continued to find solace in the quiet evenings they spent together. Ellen was a grounding presence, offering advice when needed but also giving Andrea the space to figure things out on her own.One evening, as they sat on the porch watching the sunset, Ellen turned to her sister with a thoughtful expression. "Do you think you’ll ever forgive Leo for what he did?"Andrea considered the question, her emotions still raw from the betrayal. "I don’t know," she admitted. "Maybe someday. But right now, I need to focus on healing myself. Forgiveness might come later, or it might not. I just need to move on."Ellen nodded, understanding. "You don’t have to rush anythin

If we don’t act fast, we’ll have to scale back on several projects.”Evan’s heart sank. “What do you suggest?”“We need to rally the community and reach out to our partners for additional funding. We’ve built strong relationships; now it’s time to leverage them.”“Let’s schedule a meeting with the board,” he replied, determination hardening his resolve. &l

They had barely escaped one danger, and now another threat loomed large before them.“Stay alert,” Evan warned, raising his weapon slightly. “It could be more of Killian’s men.”As the SUV’s doors swung open, three figures emerged, weapons drawn. Evan’s breath caught in his throat as he recognized the lead figure—Detective Julia Marks, a close ally from his past missions. Relief flooded through him, but it was quickly replaced by caution.“Evan! Marga! Connor!” Julia called, waving her arms as she approached, her expression a mix of urgency and concern. “We need to move, now!”Evan lowered his weapon, confusion etched on his face. “What are you doing here?”“We got intel about Killian’s operations,” she explained,

The fear etched on her face reminded him of what was at stake. He felt a surge of protectiveness, a fierce need to keep her safe.“Where are we headed?” Connor called back, urgency lacing his voice.“There’s a cave system nearby,” Evan replied, recalling a map he’d memorized during their earlier missions. “It should provide some cover.”“Let’s hope it’s not too far!” Connor shouted, his breaths coming in quick bursts.They reached a rocky outcrop, and Evan

Evan’s heart raced as he faced Leo, the dim light of the forest casting eerie shadows across the man’s smirk. “Looks like the tables have turned,” Leo taunted, aiming his weapon with a steady hand. “Step aside, Leo,” Evan warned, his voice low but resolute. “This isn’t your fight anymore.”“Oh, but it is!” Leo laughed, a dark edge to his tone. “You think you can just walk away from this? You’ve made it personal.”Marga’s grip tightened around Evan’s arm. “We need to move,” she whispered urgently, glancing over her shoulder, as if sensing Killian lurking nearby.Evan’s mind raced. They were outnumbered and trapped between Leo and the threat of Killian lurking in the shadows. “Leo, you don’t want to do this,” he said, trying to reason with him. “We can work together to take down Killian.”“Ha! And give up my chance at revenge? Not a chance!” Leo’s eyes gleamed with fanatic determination. “You took everything from me. Now it’s your turn to suffer.”Evan took a step forward, lowering his

The gunshot reverberated through the clearing, and Evan’s instincts kicked in. He turned to Marga, whose eyes were wide with fear. “Stay low!” he commanded, pulling her behind a nearby tree just as the echoes of chaos unfolded around them.“What’s happening?” Marga’s voice trembled, but Evan could see a spark of determination in her gaze.“They’re not done yet,” he replied, scanning their surroundings. Killian and his men were regrouping, but the looming presence of law enforcement from the searchlight added a new layer of tension. Evan’s heart raced, fueled by both adrenaline and the need to protect Marga.“I can’t let you face this alone,” she said, her voice steadying. “We’re in this together, remember?”Evan turned to her, a mix of admiration and love flooding his chest. “You’re right. Together.” He took a deep breath, the warmth of her presence igniting a fire within him. “We need to fight back.”They crouched low, stealing glances at the chaos unfolding just beyond the tree line
Chapter 176: The Edge of Darkness
Evan and Marga pressed deeper into the cavern, the distant roar of engines and shouts echoing ominously behind them. The flickering light from the explosive had left shadows dancing along the walls, creating a disorienting maze that seemed to swallow them whole.“Which way?” Marga panted, her eyes wide with urgency.“Follow me,” Evan replied, determination surging within him. The adrenaline from their confrontation with Killian still coursed through his veins, sharpening his senses. “We need to find another exit.”They navigated through the labyrinth of rock, the air thick with dust and tension.

Voices shouted commands, followed by the screech of tires on gravel. “They’re coming,” Marga whispered, glancing back, her fear palpable.“Stay close,” Evan urged, tightening his grip on her hand. The
Chapter 175: Shadows to Strength
Evan's world blurred in and out of focus as he lay on the cold, hard ground of the cavern. Pain radiated from the knife wound in his side, each pulse sending shockwaves through his body. Marga’s frantic voice filled his ears, but the words were muffled, fading into a haunting echo.“Evan! Stay with me!” He could feel her warmth against him, her presence a tether pulling him back from the brink. He forced himself to open his eyes, locking onto her determined gaze. “Marga,” he murmured, each breath feeling like a monumental effort. “I—”“Don’t you dare say it!” Her voice was fierce, cutting through the fog of pain and despair. “You’re going to fight this. We’re going to get out of here.”A surge of gratitude washed over him as he squeezed her hand tighter. In that moment, something shifted within him. He realized that he couldn’t let her down. Not now. Not ever.With a groan, he pushed himself up, using every ounce of strength he could muster. “Killian,” he rasped, the name igniting a

He struggled against the void, a desperate need to cling to Marga anchoring him to reality.“Stay with me!” he shouted, but his voice echoed in an abyss. Images of Marga’s face, full of life and determination, flooded his mind, fueling his fight against the encroaching darkness. Suddenly, a bright light pierced through, and he felt a jolt of pain shoot through his body. Evan gasped, blinking against the harsh brightness of the moonlight filtering through the trees. “Marga!” he croaked, scrambling to his feet, disoriented. Panic clawed at his throat as he searched the ground for her, dread pooling in his stomach.“Marga!” he shouted again, voice raw with desperation. He stumbled toward where he had last seen her, fear pushing him forward. As he rounded a tree, he found her lying on the ground, her face pale against the backdrop
