CHAPTER 31; CROSSROADS OF FREEDOM

Amara's POV Finally, I was getting discharged today. I don’t think I could have survived another day trapped in that suffocating silence and confinement. Victoria had called earlier, offering to pick me up, but I had turned her down. “It’s fine,” I said. “Darius is on his way, and I’ve already agreed to let him come.” Her voice, though gentle, was insistent. “Are you sure, Amara? You don’t have to do this alone…” I let out a small laugh, trying to calm both of us. “It’s okay, Victoria. I told him to come. After that, I’ll head straight to the mansion to collect my things—and the signed divorce papers. He just wants to talk.” A long sigh drifted through the line. “Alright… we’ll be waiting. We need to finalize the plan for your move to New York and the launch. I can’t believe this is really happening—you, building your own company from scratch and collaborating with one of the biggest fashion houses.” I smiled, feeling a spark of pride I hadn’t felt in a long time. “I know.

CHAPTER 32; FRACTURED LOYALITIES

Victorias POV “Why won’t she let us pick her up?” I vented to Nicole, pacing the room. “She came to my house yesterday, soaked to the bone. It’s obvious things with her husband have gotten worse since that… mistress moved in. And him claiming it’s for the child she’s carrying—give me a break.” Nicole nodded thoughtfully. “She probably just wants to end things on her own terms. That’s all.” I groaned, running a hand through my hair. “Argh! I don’t know what the hell is wrong with you both. These crazy men don’t deserve you!” “Well,” Nicole said quietly, almost to herself, “at least she had the guts to leave him after everything he did to try and break her.” I realized I’d struck a nerve—she wasn’t wrong, but the last thing I wanted was for Nicole to feel guilty or think she was the problem because that was far from the truth “Yeah, I know. Well… no more sad talk. But I do want to know one thing, Nicole. What exactly happened with the eggs—the IVF you were planning? Why cheat

CHAPTER 33; PLAYED NOW REGRETS

Darius POV I couldn’t remember signing those divorce papers. The night had been a blur I had too much wine before Lena arrived, nothing made sense. She definitely had something to do with this. Frustration coiled in my chest, sharp and bitter, but there was nothing I could do—Amara had already left with the documents. “Why the long face?” Lena’s voice cut through my thoughts, dripping with smugness as she smirked at me. I clenched my fists, trying to steady my temper. Her confidence was infuriating, yet part of me couldn’t ignore the pang of guilt twisting inside. How had it come to this? How had I let her manipulate me again last night so easily? “I would like to move in,” she continued, stepping closer. “Helen and I have already discussed it. I’ll be a positive influence on her—and she promised to improve.” Her hands found my neck, soft but possessive. “You can’t be mad at me, Darius,” Lena added, her voice rising slightly. “All I’ve ever wanted is a family with you. I’ve sa

CHAPTER 34; LEVERAGE

Alex’s POVThe flight had dragged on forever, but finally, I was back. The first thing I thought about was Amara. When I arrived at the hospital, I saw her being discharged, Darius by her side. They moved together with a familiarity that made my chest tighten. I told my bodyguard to watch from a distance and stepped back, letting the sight settle—but questions swirled in my mind like a storm.Was she really considering going back to him? The thought made my stomach twist. I had left James with the flash drive, but the painting—my parents’ painting, the one that held the key to everything—was still with me. And now I knew there was a second one, hidden somewhere, its location as elusive as ever. I left the hospital, trying to focus, but Williams’ constant texts were relentless. The land I’d purchased had already skyrocketed in value, and now Lena’s father became my next target. From what Lena had hinted during our last encounter, he might hold answers—answers about my parents’ true id

CHAPTER 35- BEHIND BARS

Elizabeth POV Every day since then, I have visited Leon. Seeing him reduced to that state left no room for second-guessing; I knew what had to be done. I made the arrangements he asked for, following his instructions to the letter, and did everything I could to help him orchestrate his escape. But the waiting was excruciating. I paced the house, my nerves fraying with each passing day. Three weeks slipped by, and not a single call, not even a text, came through. When I tried to visit again, the prison refused entry and blocked my calls. Frustration and worry coiled in my chest, making every second feel heavier than the last. During breakfast one morning, I felt my mother-in-law’s piercing gaze on me. She scanned me from across the table, and every flicker of suspicion she sent made me tighten, sending unease crawling up my spine. Nanny Vicky set down dessert with her usual quiet efficiency, but I couldn’t ignore the way her hands lingered, almost too deliberate, betraying her o

CHAPTER 36; SURPRISE ENCOUNTER

Amara’s POV After a week, it was finally time to travel. Victoria had booked our plane tickets to New York, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Nicole would be coming along too. I couldn’t have been happier. Living with them over the past week had allowed us to build a beautiful bond, and Victoria’s mother had been incredibly kind and thoughtful. She had helped me open up about the loss of my baby—a topic I hadn’t been able to talk about with anyone else. Knowing she had experienced the same kind of grief made it easier to share. That morning, I packed my bags early, though I had barely slept the night before. I was still buzzing with ideas for the new sketches of my brand’s upcoming release, designed to pair perfectly with Victoria’s clothing line. Handing them to her, I was relieved to see her face light up—her approval always gave me confidence. By afternoon, we were ready to leave. My phone buzzed a few times with calls from Darius, but I ignored them. Alex had also

CHAPTER 37;BENEATH THE DESIRE

William’s POV Watching her fall apart beneath my touch, begging for me, was more satisfying than I cared to admit. At first, her sudden advances had caught me off guard. Elizabeth usually ignored me, barely sparing me a glance whenever I disappeared into Nanny Vicky’s room. Desire had always been my weakness. Ever since I was young, it was the one urge I could never fully control. It wasn’t love—not with Vicky, not with any of them. Most times, I just needed an escape, a release from the pressure constantly building inside me. But Elizabeth was different. There had been a time when I truly loved my wife. The idea of marrying her once excited me more than anything, though I never allowed myself to show it. My father had drilled one lesson into me from childhood: loving a woman made a man weak. So, I buried every genuine feeling before it could surface. Over time, that buried affection twisted into resentment. She avoided my presence like I disgusted her, speaking to me only wh

CHAPTER 38; THE BROTHER SHE DESTROYED

Leon’s POV Escaping prison was never going to be easy, but I had no choice. The day I sent Lizzy that letter, I prayed it would actually reach her. Ever since I’d been locked up, someone had been monitoring me. None of my previous letters ever made it out, and deep down, I knew Lena was behind it. Sometimes, I sat awake wondering how my life had fallen apart so badly—how I had become a fugitive because of the very person I once tried to protect. All I ever wanted was to be the older brother Lena never had. Instead, I became another pawn in her twisted games, and it cost me the love of my life. Everyone said my fiancée was dead. But I never believed it. And maybe that was because part of me carried too much guilt to let her go. The night everything changed was Lena’s nineteenth birthday. Father had already promised her off to one of his wealthy friends, treating her like a business deal instead of a daughter. She came home drunk that night, furious and broken, and despite eve

CHAPTER 39; FASHION WEEK

Amara’s POV Victoria messaged me early the next morning to let me know a driver was on the way to pick me up. The countdown to the fashion show had officially begun, and the pressure around the office was intense. Victoria had grown noticeably restless over the past few days, especially after her rival, Sophia, kept throwing subtle insults and challenges online. But this time, they were going to be shocked. I had spent nights perfecting the necklace piece for the collection, and for the first time in a long while, I felt genuinely confident in my work. When I arrived at the company, I paused outside Victoria’s office before knocking softly. Through the glass walls, I could see she had just wrapped up a meeting with several board members. Everyone inside looked polished, powerful, and intimidatingly comfortable in that world. Oddly enough, I felt out of place. The feeling unsettled me because I had spent years running my father’s company without ever doubting myself. But eve

CHAPTER 40; BE SAFE

Lena’s POV I had finally moved into the mansion, yet the atmosphere still felt far from peaceful. Darius remained bitter about the divorce papers and the way I forced his hand into signing them, though there was little he could do about it now. What amused me most was how badly he tried to hide it. The constant phone calls. The late-night drinking. The way his expression darkened every time Amara’s name came up. He still wanted her back. Too bad for him… she was already gone. I sat in my office, absently flipping through documents when my secretary knocked softly before stepping inside. “Ms. Lena,” she said carefully, “Amara officially submitted her resignation letter to the board this morning.” My fingers stilled against the paper. “She resigned?” I repeated slowly. “Yes, ma’am. Effective immediately.” The room fell silent after she left. I leaned back in my chair, narrowing my eyes thoughtfully. Was Amara really walking away from everything that easily? No.
