Mara hesitated for a fraction of a second, her fingers tightening slightly around the pen. She wondered why Selena would need her personal contact, but there was something about the woman—an air of grace, an authority that seemed effortless, a quiet confidence—that made Mara feel a strange, unexplainable trust. Without thinking further, she extended her hand. “Of course,” she said politely. “Here it is, ma’am. Please let me know if there’s anything you need while you’re here.” Selena accepted the number with a calm, measured smile, tucking the slip of paper into her designer purse with careful precision. “Thank you,” she said, her voice soft yet confident. Mara couldn’t help but feel a subtle awe as she watched Selena stride toward the elevators, every step precise and deliberate, as though the world itself seemed to part in her wake. Charlotte, meanwhile, had been descending the grand staircase, her thoughts momentarily elsewhere, replaying the phone call from Selena o
Chapter 344
After talking for a while, Selena slowly turned her head toward Charlotte, her expression warm and pleasant as always. “Show me the rest of the company?” she asked in a tone that sounded casual, almost affectionate, though beneath it her intention remained unreadable.Charlotte opened her mouth immediately, but just as she inhaled, her eyes flicked toward her desk.A stack of multi-colored documents sat untouched, waiting for her signature. Beside them lay two blue folders that contained pending designs requiring final approval. Her computer screen glowed with three urgent emails flagged in red, all from high-profile clients expecting rapid decisions. Also, a meeting notification blinked in the corner of the screen, reminding her that an executive review session was starting in thirty minutes—one she absolutely could not miss.Charlotte’s smile faltered slightly. Her brows knitted together in regret. “Oh,” she breathed gently, “I would love to, but I have some urgent matters I nee

“Selena,” Damien’s voice came through the speaker, low, sharp, and edged with impatience. “You’re speaking with too much confidence. Did you plant the bomb in the proper location? I don’t want assumptions—I want certainty.” She let her head fall back slightly against the wall and exhaled as if bored of the question. Typical Damien. He trusted her talent, her cold efficiency, her ability to stay calm under pressure—but he could never resist confirming things himself. He was controlling by nature and obsessed with precision. “I heard what you said that Charlotte would be dead in ten minutes. For you to say that, I expect the situation to be perfect.” Selena rolled her eyes, her lips curving in mild annoyance even though he couldn’t see her. “Damien,” she drawled slowly, “if I say something will happen, it will happen. I planted it exactly where we planned.” His silence urged her to keep speaking. She pushed off the wall and began pacing slowly down the corridor a

Logan had been in a meeting across town when the first warning came. He was standing beside the long glass conference table, listening to his men give updates on security matters, when something on his wrist caught his attention.At first it was just a faint blink.Barely noticeable.Then another flicker followed—small and rhythmic.Logan lifted his wrist slightly, brows knitting together. The blinking quickened. Slow at first… then faster… then urgent, like a heartbeat rising in panic.His own breath hitched.He lowered his hand, staring at the bracelet wrapped tightly against his skin. Sleek, dark, and deceptively simple on the outside, the device carried micro‑tech far too advanced for the public eye. It wasn’t jewelry. It was a warning system created for exactly one purpose:To alert Ironhand of impending danger.And this bracelet had never—never—blinked this violently before.Logan’s eyes narrowed, sharp and focused. A cold heaviness settled in his chest.This wasn’t some acci
Chapter 347
The SUVs screeched to a jarring halt at the front entrance of Elysian Bloom, their tires spitting dust across the polished pavement. Before the lead vehicle had even rolled to a full stop, Logan shoved the door open and leaped out, landing hard enough to send a crack through the silence of the early afternoon. His men spilled out behind him in swift formation, each one moving with trained precision, scanning angles, corners, rooftops—anything that even hinted at a threat. People in the plaza froze mid-step, heads turning in confusion and alarm at the abrupt invasion of black-clad operatives storming the building. A sharp vibration pulsed against Logan’s wrist. His bracelet flashed again. 3 minutes remaining. Cold adrenaline sliced through him. “Move! Locate the bomb!” Logan thundered. His men surged toward the entrance—but just as they reached the doors, a wall of Elysian Bloom’s security guards stepped into their path. “Hey! You can’t enter!” one of the guards b

Charlotte’s breath hitched as she rushed into her office, slamming the door behind her with trembling hands. She didn’t even stop to steady herself. Her knees nearly buckled beneath her, but she forced herself forward, stumbling toward her desk.Her hand shot toward the drawer handle.She yanked it open.And there it was.A small metallic device—no bigger than a mobile phone—nestled between her pens and neatly folded files. Except it wasn’t innocuous. It was blinking with violent red lights, pulsing faster, faster, FASTER, like a frantic heartbeat on the verge of collapse.Her own heart stopped and her skin turned ice-cold.“Oh my God…” she whispered helplessly, her voice so weak it barely left her throat. “Logan…”“Yes, that’s it,” Logan’s voice trembled through the phone speaker. Even he—cold, steady, and unshakeable—sounded terrified. “Grab it and move! You have SECONDS!”But Charlotte couldn’t move.Her feet rooted to the floor.Her hands shook so violently she almost dropped
Chapter 349
The loud boom had barely faded when Logan burst through the door of Charlotte’s office. Smoke trailed faintly from outside, curling through the shattered edges of the window and carrying the acrid scent of scorched metal and plaster. His heart hammered in his chest, each beat a sharp reminder of the seconds that could have cost her life. The office was chaos incarnate and the blinds rattled violently against the window frames from the force of the blast—but Charlotte herself was nowhere to be seen.“Charlotte?” Logan called, his voice taut with fear. The word barely left his lips before a cold dread slid down his spine. The silence that answered was suffocating.He sprinted toward the inner lounge, flinging open the door with frantic urgency. The room was empty—chairs pushed back haphazardly and cushions tossed aside. He lunged back into the office, scanning desperately, his gaze sweeping every corner for Charlotte.Before long, hurried footsteps echoed down the hallway, rapid an

Logan stepped closer, placing a steadying hand on Charlotte’s shoulder. His touch was firm, grounding her back into reality, back from the overwhelming swirl of fear, confusion, and disbelief clouding her mind. “Charlotte,” he said calmly, his voice a controlled anchor in the chaos, “don’t worry. We will find out who did this. I promise you.” She looked up at him with wide, uncertain eyes. Logan’s tone carried no hesitation, no doubt, or uncertainty. It was the kind of promise that left no room for fear. That alone gave her enough strength to take a slow, shaky breath. “Right now,” Logan continued, his voice steady and authoritative, “we need the security footage. We need to see everything that happened today—every movement, every entry, every second. Tell your security team to bring it immediately.” Charlotte nodded, though the movement was small and trembled slightly. She reached for her intercom with fingers that still shook, the adrenaline refusing to leave her bloodstream
Chapter 351
Charlotte stood frozen, her heart thundering violently against her ribs as Logan’s words sank into her like cold steel. Arrest Selena? Her twin sister and her own blood? The second half of her existence. The idea felt so shocking, so hollow, that for a moment she could neither breathe nor form coherent thought. Her legs trembled beneath her, and she stared at Logan, desperately searching his face for something—any hint of doubt, hesitation and anything that might soften the blow.But Logan’s eyes held nothing but resolution and an ache of concern.“Charlotte, if I hadn’t intervened… you would’ve been inside that office when the bomb went off,” he saidThe words hit her harder than the blast itself. Her breath caught painfully in her throat and her mind conjured images she didn’t want to see—her office being ripped apart, flames swallowing everything, and her body reduced to nothing but remains. A violent tremor ran through her, forcing her to wrap her arms around her torso as tho

aSelena’s brows tightened with irritation as she rose from the sofa, smoothing the wrinkles in her silk dress with slow, practiced strokes. The television murmured softly in the background.Damien watched her from the other end of the room, confusion clouding his features. He wasn’t used to seeing her rattled.“I’m not expecting anyone,” Selena muttered under her breath, half to herself and half to him.Damien hesitated, then walked toward the door as the ringing of the bell grew louder and more forceful. The moment he turned the knob and pulled the door open, his entire body stiffened and his breath caught in his throat.Two uniformed police officers stood outside, their expressions stern and unyielding. Selena’s stomach dropped.The officers stepped inside without waiting for an invitation, their boots thudding heavily against the tiled floor.“Good evening,” the taller officer said firmly. “We are here for Selena Sullivan.”The name echoed in the room like a sentence. Selena fro
