Chapter 383
The room felt unbearably heavy, almost suffocating, as Charlotte’s words lingered in the air like smoke refusing to dissipate. A tense silence settled over everyone, thick enough that it felt as though the walls themselves were holding their breath. Logan, who had been standing rigidly beside her the entire time, finally lifted a hand and reached out to touch her shoulder. His gesture was careful, almost hesitant, as though he feared that even the slightest pressure might shatter her completely. It was an attempt at grounding her, an attempt to steady the storm that was raging so visibly inside her.But Charlotte flinched away from him, not violently, but with enough distance to make it clear that she was holding herself together by sheer force of will. Her chest rose and fell heavily, her breaths uneven and full of a kind of restrained fury. Her eyes—normally soft—were blazing with a mixture of anger, betrayal, and pain that she had buried for too long.“No, Logan,” she said shar
Chapter 384
The room still echoed with the remnants of Charlotte’s fury as she stormed out, her footsteps loud against the polished floors. Logan immediately reached out, calling after her. “Charlotte! Wait! Please!”But Charlotte didn’t even glance back. Her anger, her pain, and her sense of betrayal propelled her forward like a whirlwind, leaving Logan struggling to keep pace. He knew this wasn’t just anger—it was a lifetime of suppressed hurt, betrayal, and the immense weight of everything that had just happened: the kidnapping, the bomb, the deceit of her family, and the constant threat Damien posed.By the time they reached the car, Charlotte was visibly trembling, not from cold but from a mixture of rage and the emotional exhaustion that had overtaken her. Her eyes, still wet from unshed tears, stared into the cityscape, her mind racing with thoughts she could barely articulate.“Charlotte…” Logan’s voice was low and gentle now, trying to reach her through the storm inside her. “You’re
Chapter 385
Since the night Logan forcefully rescued Charlotte from Damien’s grasp, Damien Blackwell had known no peace. Sleep evaded him, and when exhaustion finally dragged him under, it brought no rest—only vivid flashes of that night replaying behind his closed eyes. Rage brewed inside him like a storm that refused to settle, swelling and crashing until it filled every corner of his thoughts. Every carefully laid plan had collapsed in a single, humiliating moment because of one man: Logan.Damien stood alone in his sprawling living room, the lights dimmed though dawn had already begun to creep in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. He paced endlessly, his footsteps sharp and rhythmic against the polished marble floor, the sound echoing in the silence like a ticking clock counting down his failure. His glass of wine lay abandoned on the table, the deep red liquid untouched, its surface still as if mocking him. He had poured it hours ago, intending to calm his nerves, but even alcohol ha

Charlotte had barely settled into their new home when her phone rang. She glanced at the screen and saw Selena’s name flashing insistently. A small shiver ran down her spine, though she tried to appear calm as she picked up the call.“Charlotte, I’ve been meaning to tell you something,” Selena’s voice came through, bright and almost jubilant, but with a hint of urgency. “Your birthday is coming up, and I want you to celebrate it properly… as twins. I want it to be grand, unforgettable.”Charlotte paused for a moment, processing the words carefully. “You want to celebrate it… as twins?” she asked, curiosity mingling with a touch of caution. Her mind raced. Was this just an elaborate party, or was Selena trying to assert some subtle control over her?“Yes!” Selena said eagerly, as though anticipating Charlotte’s hesitation. “I’ve thought about this a lot, and it has to be special. Don’t worry about a thing. I’ve already put everything in place—a huge hall in Gelrith City, decorations,
Chapter 387
Selena gently guided Charlotte toward the front section of the venue. It was the most prestigious area—an elevated space adorned with ivory drapes, crystal centerpieces, and plush velvet chairs reserved only for the most honored guests. She ensured Charlotte was seated beside her, right at the front, where every eye in the hall could see them clearly.“This seat is yours,” Selena said with a warm smile, pulling out the chair for Charlotte herself. “You deserve nothing but the best today.”Charlotte hesitated briefly, then sat down, feeling a strange mix of gratitude and discomfort. The attention was overwhelming, but she reminded herself that this was supposed to be a celebration—a birthday, a moment of joy. Selena took her seat beside her, their shoulders almost touching.Almost immediately, waiters dressed in sleek black uniforms appeared. They moved with precision and grace, placing before Charlotte a glass of an expensive, crystal-clear drink that shimmered under the soft go

Selena chuckled softly when Charlotte mentioned the cost of the wine, waving her hand as though the matter were insignificant, almost laughable. Her movement was fluid, practiced, the kind that suggested she was entirely at ease in this setting.“That’s nothing,” Selena said lightly, her voice smooth and reassuring. “Compared to what today means, the price doesn’t matter at all. A birthday like this deserves color, beauty, and memories.” She paused, her gaze lingering on Charlotte’s face. “And more than that, I needed you to know how special you are to me.”Charlotte studied her sister, searching for any sign of exaggeration or hidden intent. Instead, she found only calm composure and what appeared to be sincerity.“You mean that?” Charlotte asked quietly, surprise edging her voice.Selena nodded slowly, deliberately. “Of course I do. We’ve lost so much time, Charlotte. Years that we can never get back.” Her expression softened, and for a moment, something like regret flickered

Selena, sitting across from her, didn’t look concerned. Instead, a cold, gleeful smile spread across her face. Her eyes glimmered with a satisfaction that sent a chill through the otherwise quiet room. She pulled her phone from her pocket and tapped a few buttons with a deliberate calm. “It’s done,” she whispered, almost reverently, her voice barely above the soft hum of the air conditioning. “Charlotte is incapacitated. You can send them in now.” A low, satisfied laugh came from the other end of the line. “Excellent,” Damien’s voice purred through the phone, thick with anticipation. “Send my men immediately. Make sure nothing goes wrong. I’ve waited long enough for this.” Selena hummed softly, an almost musical acknowledgment. “They’re already on their way,” she replied, her smile not fading, as if she could see the unfolding of a plan in her mind’s eye and was savoring every detail. Charlotte’s eyelids fluttered weakly, her body betraying her as consciousnes

Charlotte was carried into the dimly lit room like a limp doll. Her body sagged in the arms of the men, utterly unresponsive, her chest barely rising and falling with shallow breaths. They dropped her onto the bed with a thud, and the mattress creaked under her weight. Her hair sprawled across the pillow, hiding her face, and for all intents and purposes, she seemed completely unaware of the world around her.One of the men pulled out a phone, dialing quickly. “Boss,” he barked. “She’s here. She can’t move… or fight back. Come over and do what you planned.”A pause, then a voice on the other end acknowledged. The men shifted, their own unease momentarily visible, though Charlotte remained unconscious and unaware, lying limp on the bed.Within minutes, Damien entered. The click of his boots against the floor announced his arrival. He stopped in the doorway, his eyes scanning Charlotte’s prone form. A cruel smirk spread across his face.“So this is Charlotte,” he murmured to himself
Chapter 391
Just as Damien moved closer, Charlotte suddenly became conscious and found her voice.It felt as though something deep inside her finally snapped.Her chest tightened, her breath caught, and then she screamed.The sound ripped through the room. It wasn’t careful or controlled. It carried every ounce of terror she had been holding inside, echoing violently off the walls, and slicing through the heavy silence like a blade. The scream seemed to linger, vibrating in the air and refusing to be ignored.And then—BANG!The door burst open violently, slamming against the wall with such force that the room itself seemed to shudder. The impact rattled the frame, sending a sharp crack through the space as if the building had recoiled from what was happening inside.Damien spun around, startled. His heart leapt into his throat as adrenaline surged. His face twisted in shock and disbelief as his eyes locked onto the figure standing in the doorway, framed by the harsh light of the hallway.I
Chapter 392
As soon as Logan and Charlotte stepped out of the room and into the long hallway that led outside the building, Selena caught sight of them from across the hall.Her heart skipped violently in her chest, the sudden jolt almost stealing her breath. She froze mid-step, one heel hovering above the polished floor, her body locking in place as her eyes narrowed and fixed on their retreating backs. For a split second, she wondered if exhaustion or shock was playing tricks on her vision.But no.It was them.Logan’s broad frame was unmistakable, his arm securely around Charlotte’s shoulders, his body angled protectively toward her as they moved with urgency and purpose. Charlotte leaned slightly into him, her posture unsteady, her head lowered, and her movements stiff with shock. She was shaken—but she was upright.That wasn’t how things were supposed to end.Selena’s mind spiraled violently, thoughts crashing into one another in rapid succession. Damien had promised her that everything
