CHAPTER 360
That evening, Steven stood alone inside his penthouse, his tall figure silhouetted against the floor-to-ceiling glass walls. The city stretched endlessly beneath him... a sea of glittering lights, moving headlights, distant skyscrapers, and silent promises. Normally, the view calmed him. Tonight, it did something else entirely. The silence felt… different. Less tense. Less heavy. But not peaceful. It was the kind of quiet that came before something shifted. Steven slipped one hand into his pocket, the other holding a glass of untouched whiskey. He hadn't taken a sip. He wasn't in the mood for alcohol. His thoughts were clearer than they'd been in weeks and that alone unsettled him. His phone buzzed against the glass table behind him. He didn't turn immediately. He already knew who it was, Jennifer. The screen glowed softly, her name flashing across it. Steven walked over slowly, picked it up, and answered. "Hello." Her voice came through, soft… cautious.
CHAPTER 359
The hospital corridor was unusually quiet. The soft hum of fluorescent lights and the distant beeping of machines were the only sounds filling the air. Nurses moved quietly, their footsteps light, their voices hushed. It was the kind of silence that pressed down on the chest, heavy and suffocating. Finn Guler stepped out of the elevator, his sharp eyes scanning the hallway. He had already confirmed the room number. He knew she was here. His daughter. Dianna. He hadn't seen her in weeks. Not since the scandal broke. Not since everything spiraled out of control. And now… he had finally found her. His jaw tightened. He walked forward, his steps steady, controlled. But beneath that calm exterior, his thoughts were anything but calm. Because this had gone too far. Too dangerous and way too reckless. And now… it needed to end. He stopped in front of the door. Room 307. He raised his hand and knocked. Inside the room, Dianna looked up. Jackson was asleep bes
CHAPTER 358
The elevator doors slid shut with a soft metallic whisper, sealing Steven inside a silence that felt heavier than the air itself. He didn’t move. His reflection stared back at him from the polished steel... sharp jaw, dark eyes, a face carved from tension and control. But beneath that calm exterior, his mind churned relentlessly. Two weeks. Just two weeks until his wedding. And everything was falling apart like this. The scandal had spread faster than wildfire. Whispers in business circles. Headlines hinting at controversy, private calls that stopped abruptly when he entered rooms. His name, Steven Kahuna—being dragged into conversations he had no patience for. And worst of all… Jennifer and Luisa being adamant on postponing the wedding. His jaw tightened as the memory replayed. Earlier that evening... before he heard about Jackson being shot his phone had buzzed. Jennifer’s name had appeared on the screen. He answered almost immediately. “Jennifer.” He
CHAPTER 357
Jackson’s steps faltered the moment his eyes landed on them. His already pale face seemed to drain of what little color remained. “…Dianna?” His voice came out hoarse, weak, barely above a whisper, but the disbelief in it was unmistakable. Dianna’s heart clenched instantly. “Jackson…” She moved toward him quickly, worry flooding her expression. She reached for him carefully, mindful of his injured arm. “You shouldn’t be standing… you just had surgery,” she said softly, supporting him gently. Jackson allowed her to steady him, but his gaze never left her face. Relief flickered in his eyes… deep, undeniable relief. She came, she came out of hiding all for him. But then… Jackson’s gaze shifted. And it landed on Steven. The warmth in his eyes vanished instantly. The air turned cold, sharp and tensed. Jackson’s jaw tightened. “You…” Steven stood a few steps away, calm but rigid, his expression unreadable. His eyes moved briefly from Jackson to Dianna and
CHAPTER 356
The drive to the hospital felt endless. Jackson sat in the back seat of the car, his left arm pressed tightly with a cloth that was already soaked with blood. His breathing was uneven, his face pale, but his jaw remained clenched stubbornly. “Sir… please stay with me,” his driver said nervously, glancing repeatedly at the rearview mirror. Jackson nodded faintly. “I’m fine…” he muttered, though the pain was anything but fine. His fingers trembled slightly as blood gushes out of his hand. There was complete blood loss... lots of it. The pain burned through his arm, spreading slowly through his shoulder, making his head spin, but even through the haze… One thought remained clear, Steven. The timing, the confrontation and the warning. "You don’t know what’s coming, Jackson." The words replayed in his mind. Jackson closed his eyes briefly. Was this Steven? If he was then he had gone too far, and he will retaliate if he could. Jackson’s chest tightened. He
CHAPTER 355
Steven Kahuna did not sleep that night how could he? The information Lionel had given him replayed repeatedly in his mind like a broken record. Jackson. The name lingered heavily in his thoughts. Everything suddenly made sense. The clean disappearance. The silence and the careful planning it was certain that Dianna had help. And the only person who could help her so effectively… was her husband. Steven stood by the window of his penthouse, the early morning sun slowly creeping into the room, casting long shadows across the polished marble floor. His expression remained unreadable. But inside, his patience had run out. He picked up his phone and dialed Princewill. Princewill answered immediately. "Yes, Steven." "I'm going to see Jackson." Princewill paused slightly. "Are you sure that's wise?" Steven’s gaze hardened. "I've been patient long enough." Princewill exhaled quietly. "You want me to come with you?" "No... you don't need to, I will d
