Chapter 101 Lucas Saw Her Message
Lucas gently raised his glass of wine and took a slow sip, savoring the moment.The atmosphere around the table was warm, filled with laughter and soft conversation. Across from him sat Jeruel, her face glowing with satisfaction as they celebrated her latest milestone, her new villa.Only a few weeks ago, Jeruel had arrived in Velmoria with little more than her determination. She spent her nights in hotels and expensive suites, a temporary life that never quite felt like home. But now, the story had changed. She had not only established her fashion hub successfully, drawing admiration from her peers, but she had also sealed her place in the city with a villa in her name.To honor this achievement, Lucas, Jeruel, Anastasia, and David gathered at the long dining table. Plates of food filled the polished surface, the rich aroma of roasted meat mingling with the sweetness of fine wine. The group wined and dined, clinking glasses in celebration, the mood festive yet intimate.“Cheers to th
Chapter 102 Isla At The Hotel
Isla stepped into the hotel room with slow, deliberate steps, her heels clicking faintly against the polished floor. She lowered herself onto the bed, the softness of the mattress doing little to ease the weight pressing against her chest. For a moment she sat there motionless, staring blankly at the floor, unable to stop her mind from circling back to what had just happened so suddenly.She hadn’t expected David to find out so quickly that she had met with Lucas. Her father always seemed to know things before anyone else, and yet the speed of this discovery unsettled her. Her heart felt pressed, heavy, but not with regret. It was heavy with pain, the pain of a daughter whose own father had disowned her.David was her father, and it was not easy for a child to hear that her father would cut her off simply because she wanted to be successful on her own merit and not by anyone else’s power, not even the privilege of bearing her family’s name.She heaved a long, shaky breath, then rested
Chapter 103 Apologies: White on a Mission
Hearing him loud and clear, Isla froze for a moment, her breath caught in her throat. The sound of his voice pulled her mind back in time, back to a moment she wished she could erase but could never forget.How could she possibly forget him? The delivery guy, the same man she had dismissed so arrogantly three years ago. Back then, she had disrespected his status, sneered at his personality, and insulted his family name. That day had burned itself into her memory like a scar she never wanted anyone to see.But that was then. Life had changed. Life had humbled her. She was no longer the proud, untouchable woman she once believed herself to be. Now, she understood. Tomorrow was never promised, and today was nothing but a fragile mystery waiting to unfold.She sighed heavily, the weight of her past pressing on her shoulders until they slumped. Slowly, she lifted her gaze and looked directly into his eyes. Her lips trembled as she spoke, her voice stripped of pride. “I am very sorry for w
Chapter 104 Knew What TO DO
Isla wiped her eyes.She had been wailing for two hours nonstop. Lucas’ voice kept striking her mind again and again, echoing like a reminder she could not escape.She knew there was no turning back. She had to do what she had to do so that they could proceed with the processing. Every tear she shed only hardened her resolve.Taking in a deep breath, she stepped out of the hotel, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor as though announcing her decision. The city air hit her face, cooling her swollen eyes. Without hesitating, she headed towards the popular law firm in Velmoria, the very place where the next chapter of her struggle would begin.***On the other hand, David stepped down from his car, not from the driver’s seat but from the back. His personal chauffeur and assistant, both men who had served him for years, had driven him straight to Isla’s villa.He paused at the front gate, his eyes roaming over the familiar sight. The villa stood tall and grand, a symbol of wea
Chapter 105 What About The Dark Website.
Twenty years ago, the dark web was created by criminals of the internet, people in the background as they were rightly called. They were hidden hackers and hidden investigators who worked for high end criminals who would pay them a huge amount for information they could never get on the normal internet.Because of that, every criminal who knew about the dark web also knew the history behind it. To the public it remained secret, but among those who bought secrecy it was an industry. Two years after its creation, a hidden investigator began a project: to gather dossiers on the houses of the powerful. He uploaded records about the Virellis estate, the Santiago line, and every wealthy family of Velmoria, and he pitched the files onto the hidden servers.The system was simple and merciless. Information was revealed only to whoever searched for it and agreed to the prices. For over twenty years those data banks had been built and refined. White knew that if the dark web had it, he would fi
Chapter 106 Court Approved
“Done, sir!”Isla signed the papers, her hand trembling slightly as Augustus, the attorney in charge, slid the documents across the polished desk toward her.The office was still, the ticking of a wall clock filling the silence. She sat upright in the chair, facing him, the weight of her decision pressing down on her shoulders. Her voice had been steady, but her heart was heavy as she explained the reason she was abandoning her current last name for a new one.Augustus had worked in the Ministry of Justice for over a decade. Every single day, he guided people through the process of changing their names, drafting affidavits, and ensuring the law was followed to the letter. To him, it was routine, a process stripped of sentiment. But even with his years of experience, he had learned that behind every request was a story. Some wanted to escape their past, some wanted a fresh start, and some simply wanted to belong.By law, he had to vet each person carefully. He would look into their his
Chapter 107 Done the signing and the Dark Web Alert
Lucas smirked.He didn’t need anyone to explain to him like a child why Isla had chosen the name. He had already figured it out himself.He was the heir of Virellis, and he knew better than anyone that it takes more than heredity to be worthy of that title. He understood branding. He understood uniqueness.If Isla had chosen a name as ordinary as “Isla Brandon,” it would have given her nothing. No edge. No peculiarity. Nothing that would separate her from the countless names already buried in the crowd.To thrive in the business world, every entity had to be unique. Every brand had to bear a name that stood apart, one that no one else carried unless they had already carved a place for themselves in history.And for Isla—who was beginning from scratch, without leaning on the powerful shadow of her family—this mattered more than anything.“Nice,” he muttered under his breath, satisfied with her choice.“Dial her number,” Lucas instructed smoothly, his tone calm but commanding. “Tell her
Chapter 108 White on The Move
White peered his eyes into the double-eyes microscope. The lens reflected his patience, his obsession. He had been sitting in his car for one whole hour, not moving, not blinking away from the instrument. His eyes never left the microscope, and now, finally, he saw her.Isla was stepping down the long stairs of the law firm building, her figure sharp and clear through the lens.White adjusted slightly, swinging the microscope in her direction as if he were studying prey in its natural habitat.“A cab,” he muttered under his breath, his lips curving knowingly. He had predicted she hadn’t come to the firm with her own car. And just as he expected, she was leaving in the same way she arrived, through a taxi.His cheek expanded into a smirk, the satisfaction of a man whose plan was falling perfectly into place.After spending nights digging through the dark web, after carefully studying Lucas, after pointing at the screen and identifying the weak point, the pawn he could use, he had chose
Chapter 109 The Kill
“What type of room do you want, sir?” the receptionist asked, her voice calm yet carrying a hint of curiosity.Her eyes lingered on him from head to toe, as though she was not just assessing a guest, but measuring a man.“Ahem!” She cleared her throat quickly, trying to mask her wandering gaze. Racheal, the receptionist, had been carrying loneliness ever since she divorced her husband. Nights were long, and days at work stretched endlessly.For twenty years she had worked in five star hotels, welcoming guests from all corners of the world. Yet in all that time, no man had managed to stir something in her since her divorce. Most were either arriving with their wives, or they simply failed to meet the standard she silently held in her mind. But today, seeing this man standing before her, it felt different.White was striking. Six feet tall, sharp jawline, broad shoulders that could not be concealed even beneath his suit.When he spoke, his tone was baritone, deep and resonant, a voice t
Chapter 110 The Ask
The five-star hotel was adorned with different levels, each floor designed to serve a particular class of people.At the very topmost floor was the executive level. It was reserved for only the wealthiest, the top politicians, noble families, and powerful executives who could afford to pay the heavy fee that came with the privilege of staying there. It was a place that carried a certain aura of exclusivity, where luxury spoke louder than words.Below that was the intermediate level, as it was rightly called. This floor was designed for the middle-class earners, those who worked hard enough to enjoy a taste of elegance without reaching the dizzying heights of the elite. The price was still cumbersome, but it was manageable for the averagely earning. People here wanted to feel important, and the hotel catered to that desire.Finally, there was the low level. It was not shabby, but it was certainly humbler compared to the others. It served the lower-average earners who still wanted the p
