Chapter: Chapter 68-The Monster Benjamin Created (Dwyne’s Point of View)-When I woke up again, I immediately knew something was wrong, not because of the room or because of the silence but because my body no longer felt like it belonged to me.My eyelids felt heavy as I forced them open slowly, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling above me while my breathing remained uneven.The drugs again… Yes, I could feel it immediately from how the weakness spreads through my muscles, dull and suffocating, making even the smallest movement feel exhausting.I hated it.God, I hated it so much.I turned my head slightly and noticed the curtains were open this time, allowing dim evening light to slip inside the room.So much time had passed already and I was still here.My jaw tightened.No… I could not let myself think like that.I needed to stay calm, to think and to survive long enough for Bradley to find me, because I knew him. And I knew there was no world where he would stop looking for me, never.The thought alon

Chapter: Chapter 67I did not go home after that.I did not even slow down.The car was already waiting at the lobby, engine running, door open before I even reached it. The moment I stepped inside, the door shut behind me, and we were already moving.Fast, silent and efficient.“Take me to the house,” I said.My voice was calm and no one questioned it because they understood the situation is urgent and have no time to joke around.The mansion came into view within minutes, the gates already open, guards standing at full alert the moment my car approached. The atmosphere was different from usual; it was tighter and heavier.There was no routin

Chapter: Chapter 66(**Go to Bradley Point of View**)The cooperation agreement for the acquisition and testing of new weapons required my direct presence, which was the only reason I allowed myself to leave her, even for a short time.It was a remote town in Africa, far from everything familiar, far from her.From the very beginning, something about it did not sit right with me; it was not fear or doubt but a quiet, persistent unease that settled beneath my skin and refused to disappear, no matter how much I tried to focus on the work in front of me.I had left her protected and guarded, surrounded by men who understood exactly what she meant to me.And yet—The distance still felt wrong.The call came when I was in the middle of reviewing the final details of the agreement.My phone vibrated once then again, it was insistent like something urgent.I answered without looking at the number. “Speak.”There was no greeting on the other end; only the kind of silence that carried something already broken.“Mi

Chapter: Chapter 65Consciousness did not return all at once.It came slowly, like something pulling me upward through thick, suffocating darkness, dragging me back into a body that did not feel like mine.The first thing I noticed was the heavy weight as if every part of me had been drained of strength and replaced with something dull and unresponsive.My fingers twitched slightly or at least I thought they did before my eyes barely opened. Light filtered into my vision in fragments, blurred and unfocused, forcing me to blink several times before the shapes around me began to settle into something recognizable.I inhaled slowly, even that felt wrong; it was too heavy and too controlled.Memory hit me all at once; the car, the struggle and the syringe. Benjamin.My breath hitched and instinctively, I tried to move but I couldn't, nothing happened. A sharp wave of panic surged through me as I forced my body to respond, to react, to do something—Anything.But my limbs refused because I felt so weak and unr

Chapter: Chapter 64The car did not stop for a long time.Or maybe it did, and I simply lost track of it.Time blurred into something meaningless, stretched thin between the steady hum of the engine and the suffocating silence that filled the space between us.Benjamin did not speak again after that.He only watched me as if I were something he had finally reclaimed and I refused to give him anything; no fear, no reaction and no satisfaction. Even as my mind raced, calculating every possibility, every movement, every chance I might have to turn this around—I kept my expression calm, my posture steady.Because if there was one thing I had learned that it was men like him thrived on control and I would not give it to him.When the car finally stopped, the door opened immediately.“Out,” one of the men said.I did not move, not right away.I looked at Benjamin instead. “Where are you taking me?”He tilted his head slightly, as if the question amused him.“Home,” he said.This man…My jaw tightened. “This is

Chapter: Chapter 63By the time Benjamin left the café, the tension he brought with him lingered long after the door closed behind him but I refused to let it ruin the rest of my day.Maya, on the other hand, was still visibly irritated.“I seriously cannot stand him,” she muttered, grabbing her bag. “He talks like the world belongs to him.”I let out a small breath, finishing my drink before standing.“That is because he believes it does,” I replied calmly.She rolled her eyes. “Well, I do not care what he believes. You handled that perfectly.”A faint smile touched my lips.Maybe or maybe I was just tired of running.We stepped out of the café together, the air outside cooler, calmer—almost normal compared to what had just happened inside.“Let’s go somewhere else,” Maya said suddenly, linking her arm with mine. “I am not ending the day like this. Vernon is at the pub, we can meet him there.”I nodded lightly. “That sounds good.”Because I needed something else; something that did not involve tension,

Chapter: Chapter 87The next morning, reality returned far too quickly.As much as I wanted to stay in that peaceful little bubble with Dominic after our walk last night, the day has come to the end and reminds me that work still waits for me like always.He dropped me and watched me walk inside my mansion before he left. I could only wish he would come and stay with me, but I guess it’s still too soon.The next day, the moment my car entered the company building area, I immediately realized something was different.Seems like the security had doubled overnight.Several black SUVs were parked around the front entrance while men dressed in dark suits stood near every corner of the property, speaking through earpieces and scanning the surroundings carefully. Some guarded the main gate, while others moved around the parking area checking vehicles one by one.Even before stepping out of the car, I could already see Gregori standing near the lobby entrance with Simon and Dominic beside him. The three of them

Chapter: Chapter 86After the chaos near campus and the tense dinner afterward, I honestly thought Dominic would immediately drag me back home under heavy security.That was exactly the kind of thing he would do, especially after almost watching me die. But instead of driving toward the mansion, Dominic suddenly turned the steering wheel toward the quieter side of the city.I frowned slightly while looking outside the window.Streetlights passed slowly beside us while soft music played quietly inside the car.“Where are we going?” I finally asked.Dominic kept his eyes on the road. “You’ll see.”His answer made me narrow my eyes suspiciously. “That sounds mysterious.”A faint smirk appeared on his lips.“That’s because it is.”I stared at him for another second before quietly smiling to myself.God… I really missed moments like this, these simple conversations and simple teasing that we make. Things we used to do naturally before everything fell apart.Not long after, Dominic finally parked the car near a

Chapter: Chapter 85Not long after we finished eating and the chocolate pudding finally arrived at our table, my phone suddenly rang. I glanced at the screen and immediately saw Leonard's name there. Without thinking much, I quickly answered the call. “Hello, Leonard?” His voice sounded serious and tense from the other side of the phone. “Sasha has already told me about what happened,” he said. “I also saw the news about the attack attempt near your campus.” Even through the phone, his voice still sounded as formal and firm as usual. “Are you okay, Miss Smith?” A small smile automatically appeared on my lips. Even after everything we've been through together, Leonard still insisted on calling me Miss Smith instead of just using my name. Such a stiff person. “I’m fine, Leonard,” I answered gently. “Sorry for making everyone worry.” “You don’t need to apologize,” he replied immediately. “Your safety is more important.” His serious tone made me smile.As Leonard continued talking about tightening

Chapter: Chapter 84Instead of driving toward my parents’ house—the place that had become my home now—Dominic suddenly turned the car in another direction.I frowned slightly and looked at him.“Aren’t we going home?” I asked softly.Dominic kept one hand on the steering wheel while the city lights reflected against his sharp features.“Sasha told me you haven’t eaten yet,” he replied casually as he took a glance at me before looking back to the road.Something warm tightened inside my chest at those simple words.Even after everything… He still noticed things like that.The road slowly led us farther from the crowded center of the city until Dominic finally stopped in front of a large roadside restaurant near the outskirts of town.My eyes immediately landed on the dozens of motorcycles parked outside. Most of them carried the same familiar sticker. The Bratva.The sight alone instantly told me this wasn’t an ordinary restaurant but this was one of the Russians’ gathering places, one of their basecamps.

Chapter: Chapter 83Everything happened too fast. When the speeding car was about to hit me, a pair of strong hands suddenly grabbed my body and pulled me back forcefully. I jerked sharply as the world spun around me before I hit the cold pavement hard and my breath gasped in shock. The deafening sound of the car rushing past echoed in the parking area. It almost hit me and made my chest rise and fall rapidly as I tried to process what had just happened. Then slowly, I lifted my head and froze as I realized who had pulled me out of danger. Dark eyes returned my gaze with an intensity that made my chest pound faster again. Because those eyes. Oh God... I knew those eyes. Dominic.“Damn it!” he cursed loudly, his voice deep and angry as he quickly looked toward Serge, who had already moved in front of us protectively. “Chase that car, don’t let them get away, Serge.” he ordered coldly. “Yes, boss.” Serge immediately ran toward the other vehicle without hesitation. Meanwhile, I remained mo

Chapter: Chapter 82“Wait… you’re seriously still going to college?”Sasha looked at me as if I had completely lost my mind.I couldn’t help smiling at her reaction while organizing the documents scattered across my desk before slipping my laptop into my bag.“I’m graduating soon,” I said casually, glancing at her. “It would feel strange to suddenly stop attending classes now, wouldn’t it?”Instead of agreeing, Sasha stared at me in disbelief before shaking her head dramatically.“You’re unbelievable,” she muttered under her breath. “At least wait for me. I’ll clean this up first and accompany you.”I sighed softly.Ever since the news about Michael escaping prison and Frederico Nostra entering America spread among our people, everyone had become excessively protective around me.I understood why But honestly, part of me desperately wanted to breathe normally again.Michael had just escaped and Frederico had only arrived recently. Surely they wouldn’t make a move this quickly… right?“I can go by myself,
