Lauren nodded in silent agreement and followed closely behind. Her eyes darted around the office, scanning every detail. The once neatly arranged chairs were now out of place, pushed aside in a rush. Her gaze landed on Becca’s delicate jade necklace, lying abandoned on the floor. A shiver ran down her spine as unease settled in her chest. What exactly had happened here?Ethan, who had been observing her closely, noticed the way her eyes moved across the room, taking in every detail. He gently reached for her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze before pulling her toward the exit. Without a word, they stepped into the chairman’s private elevator, descending swiftly to the underground parking lot. The air was thick with tension, but neither of them spoke.As they stepped out, a black, heavily armored SUV awaited them. Ethan and Lauren slid into the back seat while a soldier, acting as their chauffeur for the day, took the driver’s position. The moment the doors closed, the vehicle pull

Ethan frowned slightly, his brows furrowing as if contemplating something deep within. But just as quickly, he masked it with a small, reassuring smile and met her gaze.Lauren didn’t miss the flicker of hesitation in his eyes before he responded. It was subtle, but she knew Ethan too well. There was something on his mind, something weighing heavily on him."Is anything the matter?" she asked softly, her voice laced with concern.Ethan exhaled slowly, his smile not quite reaching his eyes. "No, why do you ask?"Lauren bit her lower lip, debating whether to press him further. She could sense something was off. It wasn’t the first time she had noticed his quiet moments of contemplation, the way his expression darkened before he quickly masked it with a smile.After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath and decided to voice her thoughts."Ethan… you… you have something else going on, right?" she asked hesitantly, her fingers tightening slightly around the fabric of her dress.Ethan

She rushed to Kirk's office, her heartbeat hammering in her chest as she moved swiftly yet cautiously, making sure not to alert the security men patrolling the hallways. The dim lighting in the corridor did little to ease her nerves, but she had no choice—this was her only opportunity.Reaching the office door, she took a deep breath, her fingers trembling slightly as she keyed in the password. She had memorized it a long time ago when she was still chasing after Kirk, and he had never bothered to change it. A careless mistake on his part, but a fortunate advantage for her. The door beeped softly before unlocking, and she slipped inside without hesitation, closing it quietly behind her.Her eyes scanned the room quickly. Kirk’s office was as pristine and well-organized as she had expected. The scent of expensive cologne lingered in the air, mingling with the faint scent of freshly printed documents. She moved towards his desk, her heart pounding as she rifled through the neatly stacke

Penelope patted her neck, wincing as she coughed violently. Her throat burned from the pressure that had been there moments ago. She took deep, shaky breaths, willing herself to calm down. He was gone. She didn’t have to marry that strange man again. Relief flooded through her, but it was quickly overshadowed by unease.What did he mean by a pill?Her brows furrowed in thought. She had never heard of such a thing before. A pill that could prevent pain from being shared in a soul oath? It sounded too terrifying to be real. But if it was real, then she and Damien were in grave danger. Her father—or rather, the man she had called her father—would never let her go so easily. If that pill truly existed, he would find a way to get his hands on it. And if he did… Damien would suffer in ways she couldn’t even imagine.A chill ran down her spine.The dim candlelight flickered as the cold wind whistled through the small gaps in the window. She rubbed her arms absentmindedly, lost in her thought

The man drove the car down a long, deserted road, the headlights cutting through the thick darkness that surrounded them. The atmosphere was eerily silent, save for the occasional rustling of leaves in the cold night breeze. The house he was headed for stood isolated in the middle of nowhere, its presence almost ghostly under the pale moonlight.Once he arrived, he stepped out of the car and made his way to the passenger side. Without hesitation, he opened the door and lifted the unconscious woman in his arms. Her delicate frame was light against his strength, but he carried her effortlessly into the house. As soon as he stepped inside, he walked toward a room, carefully placing her on the bed. Without sparing another glance, he locked the door behind him and left.Lauren remained unconscious for a long time. Eventually, her eyelids fluttered, and she slowly reopened her eyes. Blinking in confusion, she gazed up at the unfamiliar ceiling. A white chandelier hung above her, casting a s

"You really are Ethan Maverick’s wife," Asper sneered, amusement flickering in his eyes. "You've started commanding people too, I see. Interesting."Lauren glared at him, but he simply chuckled. "But even if Ethan arrives here now, all I have to do is press this button, and you're dead. Do you think your husband will reach this room before the lion tears you apart?"His voice carried a smug confidence, one that made Lauren’s stomach churn with unease. He had planned this well—too well. Even if Ethan did come for her, Asper would be alerted before he could get close.With deliberate slowness, Asper pushed the contract forward and gestured toward the seat opposite him."Sit," he ordered.Lauren didn’t move. Her eyes flickered toward the ceiling, where the hidden compartment loomed above her. The lion's low growl sent shivers down her spine."Close the ceiling," she demanded, her voice steady but laced with fear. "I can't think straight with that animal above my head."Asper arched a bro

Asper Stanley felt a splitting headache the moment he regained consciousness. A dull throbbing sensation pulsed through his skull, making him groan involuntarily. Instinctively, he tried to lift his hands to cradle his aching head, but something restrained him. A sharp clinking sound followed his movement, and he realized with dread that his wrists were bound. His brows furrowed in confusion as he slowly forced his heavy eyelids open, blinking against the dim light of the room.The sight that met his eyes sent a jolt of panic through him. Thick iron chains wrapped tightly around his wrists and ankles, binding him to a cold, rigid iron chair. He struggled against his restraints, but the chains dug into his skin, refusing to budge. His breathing grew uneven as his gaze darted around the unfamiliar space, searching for any sign of familiarity or escape.It was a wide room which housed a lot of iron chairs and chains. There was also an electric chair in one side of the room. He could also

"I... I will say everything! I will talk!" Jane Alex shouted hurriedly, her voice breaking in desperation.Ethan Maverick’s cold gaze settled on her, unreadable and unmoved. He remained seated in his chair, one leg crossed over the other, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest as if he had all the time in the world."Then start talking," he ordered, his tone void of emotion.Jane swallowed hard. Her throat felt dry, her body trembling with fear. She had spent years hiding the truth, doing everything in her power to bury the past, but now...She had no choice.Her daughter’s life was on the line."It was because your mother hurt me," she finally admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "You should have known... we are sisters from different fathers."Ethan’s expression darkened.His fingers stopped tapping. His brows furrowed slightly, but his face remained composed.Sisters?This information hadn’t appeared in his investigation. Someone had deliberately erased it. Som

You can't hold a candle to my wife
Although Ethan’s office door was slightly ajar, Becca still knocked gently. She hesitated for a moment, pressing her lips together as if contemplating whether she should even be here. The weight of her decision bore down on her, but she forced herself to knock again.After knocking twice without receiving a response, she cautiously stepped inside.Ethan was sitting behind his desk, engrossed in his laptop. The soft glow of the screen illuminated his sharp features, casting shadows that only added to his intimidating presence. His red pants and white shirt contrasted against the dark leather chair he sat in. His suit jacket was neatly hung on a hanger beside the door, and the top button of his shirt was undone, revealing a glimpse of his toned chest. His dark hair was slightly disheveled, as if he had run his fingers through it repeatedly in frustration or deep thought. Yet, instead of diminishing his appearance, it only added to his effortless charm.The room was silent except for the
