A shadow flickered across Maya’s eyes as she stepped out from behind Matthew, her thin frame trembling. The dim light from the flickering clinic sign outside cast a pale hue over her anxious face.“Matthew,” she whispered, her voice barely steady. “You should go.”The debt collectors burst into crude laughter. Their heavy boots thudded on the cracked pavement as one of them grabbed Maya by the arm. His grip was cruel, his grin even crueler.“Go? Your old man ran off with our money,” the man sneered, his breath reeking of tobacco and cheap liquor. “Now you’re the payment. We’ll sell you overseas—see how much you’re worth. But even selling ten of you wouldn’t make up the debt. You’d better serve your customers well… or you’ll die trying.”Matthew stepped forward without hesitation. “Touch her again, and—”Before he could finish, a steel baseball bat swung through the air and smashed against his skull with a sickening crack.The world tilted. Matthew staggered, blood streaming down his t

The elevator chimed softly as Serena ascended to the top floor. Its mirrored walls reflected her pale face and the tension etched across it. Her fingers, clasping the folder in her hand, trembled faintly. The moment the doors slid open, the low murmur of conversation from the outer office quieted.Every pair of eyes turned toward her.The staff on this floor—Alexander’s personal team—knew more than they ever admitted aloud. They had all seen the unspoken closeness between Serena and Alexander Vanderbilt. But lately, whispers had taken a different turn. Word was that Alexander had been spending time with Chiara. And today, of all days, Chiara’s brother, Renzo Rossi, was also visiting.So what was Serena doing here?A few assistants exchanged knowing glances, curiosity flickering like firelight. They tried to appear busy, but their attention never left the woman walking toward the office at the end of the corridor.Serena’s heels clicked sharply against the marble, her heart thudding fa

The hospital corridor was cloaked in silence, broken only by the faint hum of fluorescent lights and the soft ticking of a wall clock. The sterile air smelled faintly of antiseptic and rain-soaked asphalt from the night outside.Renzo Reinaldi stood beside Alexander Vanderbilt, his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his dark overcoat. His voice was low but sharp, cutting through the quiet.“Mr. Vanderbilt, tell me honestly—you never intended to get engaged to Chiara, did you? To be frank, Serena’s background doesn’t match yours. But if I decide to hold her responsible for this incident… are you planning to stand by her side?”Alexander’s gaze remained fixed on the red “Emergency in Progress” light glowing above the operating room doors. His voice was steady, almost too calm.“Mr. Reinaldi, what exactly do you mean by ‘holding Serena accountable’?”Renzo’s expression hardened. His eyes, bloodshot from a sleepless night, gleamed with restrained an

An hour later, Alexander stepped out of the hospital room, a cigarette dangling between his fingers. The sterile white corridor smelled faintly of disinfectant and rain—the faint trace of a storm that had passed earlier. His shoulders were tense, his jaw set, as if each drag of smoke might somehow steady the chaos in his mind.Downstairs, Marilyn’s surgery had finally ended—a simple wound suture, the doctors said—and she was already awake. Serena, still composed despite the long day, followed the doctor to complete the post-surgery paperwork. Her heels clicked softly against the marble floor as she walked ahead, unaware that Alexander had begun to follow a few paces behind, his footsteps echoing faintly through the quiet hall.After finishing the paperwork, Serena paused in front of a sign that read Gynecology & Obstetrics. For a long moment, she stood still, her gaze distant, then took a quiet breath and pushed open the door.When Alexander returned from his smoke break—half a cigaret

The stage glowed beneath a wash of golden light as Wes stepped up to receive his award. The applause rippled through the hall like a warm tide. Standing tall beneath the spotlight, he delivered his acceptance speech with practiced humility and genuine emotion.“I’m deeply grateful to E.A. Corporation for believing in me,” he said, voice steady yet heartfelt. “Everyone in the company works so hard—it’s an honor to be among such talented people. I’ll continue to work just as hard and strive to do even better.”The audience responded with another round of applause. The flashes from the cameras flickered like starlight across his face as he descended the steps, the golden trophy glinting in his hand.Wes’s gaze instinctively sought Serena in the front row. She sat composed, elegant, and aloof—her hair swept back, the light glancing off her smooth cheekbones. When his eyes met hers, Serena lifted her hands in a graceful applause, offering a polite nod of acknowledgment.It was subtle—barel
