CHAPTER 062
Jackson cupped her face, forcing her teary eyes to meet his. “Listen to me my princess... families, reputations, politics—I don’t care about all of that. You are mine and this child is ours. And I swear before heaven, Dianna, I will marry you. Even if both our families rise against us, I will make you my wife. No one, no one, can take this away from us.” Her lips parted, a sob caught between despair and relief. She clung to him as if he were the only thing keeping her from drowning. “Promise me you mean it, Jackson, promise me you won't abandon me.” He kissed her forehead, then her trembling lips. “With everything in me, I promise.” “I better get back home now, they might be wondering where I went. Before they send out a search party.” They parted reluctantly at the clinic gates. Jackson insisted on walking her to her car, his eyes never leaving her until she drove off. But as Dianna turned into the long stretch that led toward the Guler mansion, dread twisted her stom
CHAPTER 061
The air felt heavier each second, Jackson’s mind spun, images flashing, his father’s fist, Finn Guler’s threats, Sarah’s tears… and now this. “If it’s true…” Dianna whispered, her voice breaking, “what will we do?” Jackson gripped her hands tightly, his jaw set despite the bruise, despite the chaos. “Then we fight… together! I don’t care if the whole city turns against us. You are mine, Dianna. And if it's true that you really are pregnant with our child, then nothing else matters.” Dianna’s lips quivered, her tears falling as she buried her face in his chest. But in the shadows of their love, danger loomed larger than ever. At the Milton estate, Harry sat in silence, staring at a family portrait on the wall. He didn’t know that the very thing he feared most was already in motion. At the Guler mansion, Finn Guler reviewed security reports, his suspicion of his daughter’s secret absences growing. And at the yacht, Jackson and Dianna clung to each other ever so desperately
CHAPTER 060
The Milton estate was cloaked in silence that evening, there was tension thick and humming, as though the very walls of the house carried echoes of the argument earlier, it still lingered even though it was an hour ago. Harry Milton retreated to his study, drowning in thoughts that gnawed at his pride. Sarah, meanwhile, climbed the staircase with quiet determination, a bowl of warm water and a clean cloth in her hands. Her steps were measured and deliberate, the weight of both wife and mother pressing on her shoulders. She paused outside Jackson’s door, her heart tightening. When she finally pushed it open, she found her son sitting by the window, the lamp painting shadows across his face. His lip was swollen, bruised purple, and a thin trail of dried blood still on his chin. Yet his eyes, those defiant and stormy eyes still burned with the same fire that had provoked his father earlier. “Jackson,” Sarah whispered gently as she set the bowl on the nightstand. “Let
CHAPTER 059
The night felt heavier than usual. The Milton residence glowed with chandeliers, yet the atmosphere inside the grand sitting room was anything but warm and peaceful. Harry Milton stood by the fireplace, his jaw stiff, his eyes shadowed with the weight of an ultimatum. His trip to Alaska still burned in his bones months of frost, labor, and sacrifice, just to keep the Milton name anchored beside the Gulers. And now, with a single reckless obsession, his adopted son threatened to unravel everything. Sarah sat gracefully on the couch, her hand curled protectively around her teacup, eyes following her husband cautiously. Helen although worried, leaned against the polished chairs, her gaze darting between both parents and Jackson, she was sensing a storm. Jackson sat relaxed, almost smug, sprawled in the armchair opposite his father, as though he had already won some private war or knew why this family meeting was called in the first place. Harry’s voice was low at first
CHAPTER 058
Rowan watched through the glass, hands folded. Tabitha kept her tone steady, she was almost at the verge of losing it but she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing her break, “Who paid you?!” “*sighs* no mood for playing around I suppose, well then, a banker,” he said. “No name, no face. His voice was something like melting ice.” Tabitha’s eyes flicked, remembering Katrina Voss’s crisp vowels. She said nothing. “Did you alter our systems?” she asked. “I only taught a mirror how to reflect,” he said. “If you’re seeing something you don’t like, perhaps it’s you.” Tabitha leaned back. “You’re going to prison.” He stopped smiling. “No, I’m not.” She stood. “Yes, you are.” He fidgeted. “You don’t understand.” She looked at him for a time that made him feel like a small boy under a teacher’s gaze. “I understand perfectly.” When she left, he started to sweat. Herod Breech thought he was only there for questioning and that he would be left to go back, but now that
CHAPTER 057
In a dark room, a young man with ink on his fingers and no surname anyone could pronounce watched lines of code merge into a smile. He wore headphones, not for music, but to catch the tiny click his machine made when a loop closed. Luisa leaned over his shoulder. “You’ve been awake for thirty hours.” “I slept at nineteen and at twenty-one,” he said without turning. “President Kahuna said no candles. Only lamps.” She smiled despite herself, he had listened. He had always been a loyalist and Luisa intended to make him a personal bodyguard and right hand man to Steven after all this. Princewill isn't just a member of the Black Ledger Circle, he was very talented not just with computers but in combat. All this time, Luisa Payne, had just left him in front of the screens to do what he loved, because the former president, Elias Smith already had a trusted right hand man who was same age range with them. Seeing that the new president, was young. She felt, it would be bette
