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
CHAPTER 354
The moment the words left Steven’s lips, the atmosphere in the room shifted. It wasn’t loud, worse yet it wasn’t chaotic but was quiet. Dangerously quiet, Lionel’s breathing became uneven as two men stepped forward and grabbed his arms firmly. His body stiffened immediately, panic rushing through his veins like ice water. "W-Wait… please… please…" he stammered, struggling slightly. But the men didn’t respond. They dragged him across the polished floor, his shoes scraping faintly against the marble. Every small sound echoed loudly in the silent room. Princewill watched quietly, his expression unreadable. He had known Steven for years, he had seen him angry. He had seen him cold, but this… this was different. Steven wasn’t just angry, he was deeply wounded. And a wounded man like Steven Kahuna was far more dangerous than an angry one. Lionel’s heart pounded violently as he was pushed into a chair at the center of the room. The chair wasn’t anything specia
CHAPTER 353
The night was unusually quiet way too quiet. The kind of silence that made the walls feel heavier and the air feel colder. Steven Kahuna stood by the wide glass window of his penthouse, his hands tucked into his pockets, his gaze fixed on the glowing city below. The lights flickered endlessly, cars moved like distant insects, and life carried on as if nothing was wrong. But inside him… everything was wrong. Two weeks, just two weeks until the wedding. And yet, everything was falling apart, the rumors hadn't died instead they had grown and is growing with each passing second. Every passing day, another article surfaced, another whisper spread another suspicious glance followed him in meetings. Steven had never cared about public opinion before. But this time… it was different. Because this time, it threatened everything, his reputation, his marriage, his control. His phone buzzed quietly against the glass table behind him. Steven didn't move immediately. He
CHAPTER 352
The days dragged by with unbearable slowness, each one heavier than the last. Yet, while time seemed to crawl, the tension moved in the opposite direction... growing, tightening, suffocating everything around it. Steven sat quietly in his office, his fingers resting against his temple as his eyes remained fixed on the calendar pinned to the wall. The date was circled boldly in red ink. Two weeks... only two weeks left before the wedding. The thought should have filled him with anticipation… with excitement… with certainty. Instead, it filled him with unease. Because nothing felt certain anymore. The scandal that had surfaced days ago refused to die. Like a stubborn fire, it continued to burn quietly beneath the surface, sending thin trails of smoke into every corner of his life. At first, it had only been whispers. Then quiet conversations. Then subtle glances. Now… it was everywhere. No one openly accused him at least not yet, but Steven knew better than anyone
CHAPTER 351
Back at the Guler mansion… Finn’s patience was wearing thin. He stood near the window, his arms folded. The butler returned quietly. “Sir…” Finn turned. “Yes?” “We still haven’t located Miss Dianna.” Finn frowned. “Her phone?” “It’s off.” That made his expression darken. “She turned off her phone?” “Yes, sir.” Finn inhaled slowly. “She knows I’m looking for her.” The butler nodded. Finn shook his head faintly. “This is unlike her… leaving little Leo behind.” He grabbed his phone again. He dialed her number. It went straight to voicemail. Finn’s jaw tightened, “Dianna…” He muttered quietly, then he spoke firmly. “Keep trying.” “Yes, sir.” The butler left again and Finn sat down slowly. His disappointment was growing. Because this wasn’t just childish behavior. This… could cause real damage and he knew it. Steven wasn’t just anyone anymore, he was powerful, influential. And soon… he would be tied to the Payne family. A scandal
