Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 98: Distance
Months had passed since Marga decided to end the pretense with Evan Winston, her boss and the CEO of the Rising Eagle. The charade had begun as a simple ruse to make his ex-wife jealous, but somewhere along the way, the lines had blurred. What started as a job had become complicated, messy, and emotionally draining. The act of pretending to be Evan’s girlfriend, living under the same roof, sharing moments that felt too real—it all began to weigh heavily on her.Marga had left the city, seeking refuge in the province where the air was fresher and the pace of life slower. Here, she could breathe without the constant pressure of maintaining a façade, and the quiet allowed her to sort through her tangled emotions.The sun was setting, casting a warm golden hue over the sprawling fields. Marga stood on the porch of her childhood home, her arms resting on the wooden railing as she gazed into the distance. The view stretched out before her, a patchwork of green and gold, dotted with small ho
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 99: Confession
Evan’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the office door opening. He glanced up to see Andrea, his ex-wife and now secretary, walking in with a slow, deliberate stride. She was dressed impeccably, as always, in a tailored black dress that hugged her figure, her hair cascading in soft waves down her back. There was a seductive smile on her lips, the kind that once had power over him but now felt empty."Evan," Andrea purred, her voice smooth as silk. She placed a stack of papers on his desk, leaning forward just enough to give him a clear view of her cleavage. "I need you to sign these."Evan's eyes flicked to the papers, then back to his computer screen. "Leave them. I'll get to them later."Andrea straightened, a flicker of frustration crossing her face before she masked it with a smile. "You’ve been distant lately. I was thinking we could have dinner tonight—just the two of us. Like old times."Evan’s jaw tightened, but he kept his voice calm and detached. "I'm busy, Andrea.
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 100: Making love
Evan and Marga lay entwined in each other's arms, the warmth of their shared moment still lingering in the air. Andrea bring him to her room while they are kissing each other. The room was quiet, save for the soft sound of their breathing. Outside, the world continued on, but in that moment, they were wrapped in their own little universe.Marga nestled closer to Evan, her head resting on his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. It was a sound she found comfort in, one that she had missed more than she had realized. She could feel the tension melting away from her body, replaced by a sense of calm she hadn’t felt in a long time.Evan stroked her hair, his fingers threading through the soft strands. He gazed down at her, his heart swelling with emotions he hadn’t fully comprehended until now. Marga had been more than just a fleeting thought, more than just a distraction from the pain of his past.She was someone he wanted in his life—someone he wanted to hold onto.“A
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 101: Come with me
Marga turned to face him, her expression thoughtful. “I think I need a little more time here,” she said. “I just... I need to clear my head a bit more. But I’ll be back soon.”Evan nodded, understanding. “Take all the time you need,” he said. “I’ll be waiting for you.”Marga smiled, walking over to him and wrapping her arms around his waist. “Thank you,” she whispered, resting her head against his chest.They stayed like that for a few moments before Evan reluctantly pulled away. “I should go,” he said, not wanting to but knowing he had to. “But I’ll call you later, okay?”“Okay,” Marga agreed, standing by the door as he prepared to leave.Evan paused, looking at her one last time before stepping out into the morning air. His heart was heavy with the knowledge that they were about to face challenges, but it was also lightened by the hope that they had found something worth fighting for.Back in the city, Evan returned to the bustling chaos of his life. The office was as hectic as ever
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 102: Support system
“Evan,” Marga’s voice was trembling, barely holding back tears.Evan’s heart skipped a beat. “Marga, what’s wrong?”“It’s my mom,” she said, her voice thick with panic. “She’s been rushed to the hospital. I don’t know what to do...”Evan’s mind raced, his own heart pounding in response to the urgency in her voice. “Which hospital? I’m on my way.”Marga managed to give him the name of the hospital through her sobs, and Evan was already grabbing his keys and heading out the door. “I’ll be there soon, Marga. Just hang on.”The drive to the hospital felt like an eternity. Every red light, every slow-moving car seemed to be conspiring against him. His mind was filled with worry for Marga, the thought of her in distress tugging at him. He had never heard her sound so frightened, so vulnerable, and it tore at him to know she was going through this alone.When he finally arrived at the hospital, he quickly found a parking spot and rushed inside, scanning the crowded waiting area for any sign
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 103: Happy moments
Days passed, blending into one another as Evan settled into a new rhythm far removed from the demands of his CEO role. He had chosen to take a leave of absence, a decision that surprised even himself, but he knew it was the right thing to do. Marga needed him, and he wanted to be there for her, not just as a fleeting presence but as a steady support.The hospital became their temporary home, the sterile walls and the constant hum of medical equipment a backdrop to their days. Marga’s mother remained in the intensive care unit, slowly recovering, and while the initial fear had lessened, the tension still lingered.Evan’s days were now filled with caring for Marga, ensuring she ate, slept, and took moments for herself, even when she resisted. He also found himself speaking with the doctors, asking questions, and trying to understand the medical jargon so he could explain things to Marga in a way that made sense. It was a role he’d never imagined himself in, but one he embraced fully.On
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 104: Fight for her
Evan took a deep breath, considering her question."I don't know," he replied honestly. "But I do know that I don't want to lose what we've found here. I don't want to lose you, Marga."Her heart skipped a beat at his words. She had feared this moment, the uncertainty of what their future held. But hearing him express the same fears and desires gave her a sense of reassurance."I don't want to lose you either," she whispered, her hand finding his. "But I also don't want to rush into anything. Let's just... take things as they come, see where this leads us."Evan squeezed her hand gently, a smile touching his lips. "That sounds perfect."As the last sliver of the sun dipped below the horizon, they stood up, the cool evening air wrapping around them. They walked back to the small cabin hand in hand, the weight of their unspoken promises hanging gently between them, like a delicate thread connecting their hearts.Back at the cabin, they prepare
Rise of Betrayed Son-in-law Chapter 105: Back to the City!
As the days passed, the time came for them to return to the city. The drive back was quiet, both of them lost in their thoughts, but there was an unspoken understanding between them. They knew that what awaited them wasn’t going to be easy. The life they had shared in the peaceful surroundings of the mountain retreat would soon be replaced by the fast-paced demands of city life and the watchful eyes of the media.Evan’s mansion loomed large as they arrived, its grandeur a stark contrast to the simple beauty of the countryside they had left behind. He glanced at Marga as they pulled into the driveway, sensing her unease. “I promise to protect you from all the noise,” he said, reaching out to squeeze her hand reassuringly.Marga smiled, though her heart raced with a mixture of excitement and apprehension. “I know you will.”As they stepped out of the car, they were greeted by Evan’s right-hand man, Elias, whose face lit up with a knowing smile. He had watched the transformation in his b

Chapter 180: The End
The sun rose over Rising Eagle Tower, casting a warm glow across Evan’s office. He leaned back in his chair, sipping his coffee and contemplating the new initiatives they had planned for the upcoming year. Despite the success they had achieved, he felt the familiar tingle of uncertainty creeping back—new challenges were on the horizon.Marga entered, a folder in hand. “Evan, have you seen these reports?” she asked, a frown creasing her brow. “The community outreach programs are facing budget cuts. 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
Chapter 180: New Dawn
The black SUV rolled to a stop, dust swirling around its tires. Evan’s heart raced as he exchanged a glance with Marga and Connor. 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,
Chapter 179: Rising Tides
Evan’s heart pounded in his chest as he followed Connor and Marga through the dense underbrush, adrenaline coursing through his veins. Each step felt like a challenge, the weight of the previous battles heavy on his shoulders. He could hear the sounds of pursuit behind them—shouts and the crack of branches underfoot.“Marga, stay close!” he urged, glancing back to ensure she was right behind him. 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
Chapter 179
The sun glinted off the glass façade of Rising Eagle Tower, casting long shadows over the bustling city below. Evan stood in his corner office, his gaze sweeping across the skyline, the weight of the past behind him and the future stretching before him like an open road.It had been a year since the fall of Killian and Leo, their nefarious empire dismantled piece by piece. Justice had finally caught up with them, and Evan had ensured they were brought to trial, where they faced the consequences of their actions. Their sentences had been severe—years behind bars, where they could do no more harm.Now, Rising Eagle was thriving under Evan’s leadership. He had transformed the company, steering it towards innovation and ethical practices, making it a beacon of hope in the industry. But the greatest transformation had been within himself. No longer the man haunted by fear and uncertainty, he was now a confident leader, driven by purpose.Marga walk
Chapter 178: Rapid bursts
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
Chapter 177: Hearts in the Crossfire
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. Each echo of footsteps sent jolts of anxiety through Evan, but he kept moving forward. He couldn’t let fear grip him; he had to be their anchor.Suddenly, the sound of their pursuers grew louder. 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
Chapter 174: Fragments of Hope
Evan's world spun into chaos as darkness enveloped him. Time felt distorted, each heartbeat echoing in his ears, drowning out the noise of the outside world. 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
