CHAPTER 252
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 anyon
CHAPTER 251
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 scan
CHAPTER 350
Meanwhile… Steven stood by his window, his expression dark. His thoughts were sharp and focused. This wasn’t random, this wasn’t coincidence but deliberate. And he knew exactly who would benefit from this no one else but Dianna. He exhaled slowly, his phone still in his hand. He opened the message again, the email sent from Finn's account. The request to meet and everything lined up. Too perfectly. Steven’s jaw tightened. “She planned this…” He muttered quietly. He didn’t like confrontation but this… This wasn’t something he would ignore, he simply grabbed his coat. Within minutes, he was in his car. “Guler Mansion,” he instructed calmly. The driver nodded. “Yes, sir.” The car moved smoothly into the night. Steven leaned back, his expression calm. But his eyes… were really cold. ***** The Guler Mansion stood tall and elegant, its grand gates opening as Steven’s car approached. The guards recognized him immediately. Steven stepped out calm
CHAPTER 349
Luisa didn’t respond to that, instead, she sent something. His phone buzzed and he looked down. It was an email from Luisa in which he quickly opened it due to curiosity. His eyes scanned the first image, then the second, then the third and his jaw tightened. The photos of him and Dianna leaning close. Talking privately, standing close and from the angles it was taken, it looked intimate way too intimate. Steven exhaled sharply. “This isn't what it looks like.” Luisa’s voice came cold. “It never is.” Steven ran a hand through his hair. “She asked to meet… she said she needed help… that’s all.” Luisa didn’t sound convinced. “And you thought it was appropriate to meet her alone?” Steven frowned. “I didn’t think it would be an issue.” Luisa’s tone sharpened. “Everything is an issue when you’re about to marry my daughter.” Steven’s jaw tightened. “Luisa come on, I assure you—” “Do you still have feelings for her?” The question cut through the ai
CHAPTER 348
Steven had no idea. He sat across from Dianna, his posture relaxed, his expression softened by concern. The past had a way of loosening his guard whenever she was involved. And Dianna knew that. She knew exactly which strings to pull. “I just… feel lost,” she said quietly, her fingers lightly gripping the edge of the table. “Everything I thought I wanted… everything I chose… it all fell apart.” Steven exhaled slowly. “Dianna… life doesn’t end because of mistakes.” Her eyes shimmered faintly. “You moved on, Steven.” His gaze softened. “Yes… but that doesn’t mean I stopped caring.” Outside, the camera clicked again. The angle looked intimate. Like two people reconnecting. Like something forbidden. Dianna leaned forward slightly. “I know you're getting married…” Steven nodded. “Yes. In a month.” She gave a faint, bittersweet smile. “She’s lucky.” Steven didn’t respond immediately. He wasn’t comfortable with conversations like this. But Dianna
CHAPTER 347
The house was quiet, too quiet. Dianna Guler Milton sat at the edge of her bed, her fingers loosely clasped together, her eyes distant. The evening sun filtered softly through the curtains, casting long shadows across the room. She had told everyone she was fine. She had smiled. She had reassured her father. She had reassured herself. But she wasn't fine. Not even close. Her thoughts kept circling back to one question. How did her father find out? Her chest tightened. Her father wasn't the type to investigate things personally. He was powerful, yes but distant. For him to show up at the restaurant… to pull her out forcefully… to speak with that level of disappointment… Someone told him, and there was only one person who knew. Steven. The thought made her stomach twist. She shook her head slowly. “No… he wouldn’t…” But deep down… She knew he would. Not out of cruelty. But because Steven always believed he was doing the right thing. Her jaw
