The CEO's Dangerous Line Chapter 87 — Queen of Strategy
The room was unusually quiet.Soft morning sunlight slipped through the sheer curtains, painting long golden stripes across the hardwood floor. Outside, the city was already waking up. Cars hummed faintly in the distance, and the warm breeze of early summer nudged the curtains every now and then.For the first time in what felt like forever...Aizen Deveraux was still asleep.No ringing phone.No emergency meeting.No pressure from Orion.No battle waiting for him the moment he opened his eyes.Just silence.Estella opened her eyes slowly.For several seconds, she didn't move.Her gaze settled on the man sleeping beside her.Without his tailored suit.Without the cold, unreadable expression he wore at Valcor.Without the invisible armor he carried every single day.He simply looked...Exhausted.There was a softness to his face she had never seen before. The tight line between his brows had finally disappeared, and his breathing had become slow and even.He looked younger.Almost peac
The CEO's Dangerous Line Chapter 86 — The Line They Could Never Cross
The apartment was unusually quiet. Only the faint ticking of the wall clock echoed through the living room. Estella zipped the last compartment of Aizen's suitcase before setting it upright beside the sofa. She checked the checklist on her tablet one more time. Business documents. Laptop. Presentation files. Medication. Passport. Everything was there. Satisfied, she closed the tablet and rubbed the back of her neck. The cut hidden beneath the scarf still stung from time to time. She glanced at the clock. 10:17 p.m. He was late. Again. She walked over to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. As she stood by the island counter, her phone suddenly vibrated across the table. Linda Calling. Ella answered immediately. "Linda?" Linda didn't waste time. "Ella... don't panic, okay?" Ella frowned. "I'll decide whether to panic after you tell me what's going on." Linda sighed softly. "...Check your messages." A second later, several notifications appeared. N
The CEO's Dangerous Line Chapter 85 — The Price of Choosing You
The old photograph frame crashed onto the polished wooden desk. Not because someone threw it. Because Benedict Deveraux's hand had struck the table harder than he intended. The servants outside his study instinctively lowered their heads. No one dared to knock. The old man rarely lost his composure. Today... He did. Several photographs lay scattered across the desk. One showed Aizen gently adjusting Estella's scarf. Another captured the way they looked at each other. The last one... Aizen's fingers resting against Estella's cheek. There was nothing inappropriate in the photos. Yet every picture carried something far more dangerous. Affection. Benedict slowly picked up the last photograph again. His jaw tightened. "You've become exactly like your father..." His voice was barely above a whisper. A knock came from outside. "Master." The butler opened the door carefully. "Young Master Aizen has arrived." Benedict didn't answer immediately. H
The CEO's Dangerous Line Chapter 84 — Between Duty and Desire
The summer sun poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Valcor Tower, turning the glass walls into mirrors of the bright blue sky outside. The city below carried on as if nothing had happened over the last few days.Inside Valcor...Everything had changed.The biggest headline of the morning was no longer the scandal surrounding Zero Degree Holdings.It was the engagement.Aizen Deveraux and Samantha Laurent.Photos from the luxurious engagement party flooded every business news outlet. The smiles. The champagne. The rings. The handshake between the Deveraux and Laurent families.To the public...It looked like strength.Like two powerful empires standing even closer together despite every rumor trying to tear them down.Inside Valcor, congratulatory voices echoed through the hallways."Congratulations, Miss Laurent.""You looked beautiful at the party.""We're looking forward to the wedding."Samantha accepted every compliment with graceful smiles."Thank you.""You're too kind
The CEO's Dangerous Line Chapter 83 — Walking Back Into The Fire
By the time Estella opened her eyes, sunlight had already spilled across the bedroom floor.The curtains were half open, letting warm summer light filter into the room. Outside, Vesper City had already settled into another busy morning. Cars drifted through the streets below, and somewhere nearby, a lawn sprinkler ticked rhythmically against the pavement.Her head throbbed.A dull ache pulsed behind her temples.She frowned before slowly sitting up."..."The room was unfamiliar for a second.Then everything from last night crashed back into her mind.The wine.The balcony.Lionel.Linda.Aizen.Her hand instinctively flew to her neck.A bandage.She touched it carefully before letting out a quiet sigh."So I really did that..."The bedroom door opened gently.Linda peeked inside first."There you are."She smiled, although her eyes still looked swollen from crying."You finally woke up."Estella offered an apologetic smile."What time is it?""Almost noon.""...No wonder my head feel
The CEO's Dangerous Line Chapter 82 — The Night She Finally Broke
The apartment felt strangely quiet after Linda left.The soft click of the front door echoed through the living room before silence settled over everything again.Estella stayed on the balcony without moving.Summer nights in Vesper City were usually warm, but tonight a gentle breeze drifted between the high-rise buildings, carrying the distant sounds of traffic and faint music from somewhere across the city.She already knew where it came from.The engagement party.Aizen and Samantha.She didn't need to see it.She could almost picture it.Crystal chandeliers.Expensive champagne.Elegant smiles.Flashing cameras.A perfect future.A future that didn't have room for her.Her fingers tightened around the stem of the wine glass resting on the small table beside her.She slowly looked toward the apartment across from hers.Dark.No lights.Of course.He wasn't home.He was celebrating his engagement.A bitter smile tugged at the corner of her lips."...Congratulations, Mr. Deveraux."H
The CEO's Dangerous Line Chapter 69 — The Price of Silence
The rain had stopped just before sunset.Vesper City glittered beneath thousands of lights, the wet streets reflecting gold and white beneath the evening traffic. From the top floor of one of the city's most exclusive private restaurants, the skyline looked almost peaceful.Almost.Inside a private
The CEO's Dangerous Line Chapter 68 — Choosing the Battlefield
The hallway outside Aizen's apartment felt strangely quiet.Samantha Laurent stood frozen for a few seconds after the door closed in front of her.The breakfast box was still in her hands.Still warm.Still untouched.She stared at the polished wooden door, trying to process what she had just seen.
The CEO's Dangerous Line Chapter 67 — Pink Roses After The Rain
Rain tapped softly against the glass walls of Estella's apartment.The city looked different at night.Quieter.Softer.The endless lights from high-rise buildings blurred behind the thin curtain of drizzle, turning Valcor into a sea of gold and silver reflections.Estella sat alone in her living r
The CEO's Dangerous Line Chapter 66 — The Weight of Inheritance
The safe house fell into complete silence.Nobody moved.Nobody spoke.The words Devon had just spoken still hung heavily in the air."Duan Dyne was right."Outside, rain tapped softly against the narrow windows. The sky beyond the glass was gray, the city buried beneath thick clouds that made the
