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
CHAPTER 346
Princewill read the message again. 'She met Javier again, they talked for fifteen minutes.' His thumb hovered over the screen for a second longer before he locked the phone and placed it on the table beside him. He didn’t move immediately, didn’t speak. But the shift in his expression was subtle and unmistakable. His calm had hardened. Across from him, his trusted aide, Dominic, stood quietly. “She just left the location,” Dominic added. “She’s heading back.” Princewill nodded once, “Was she upset?” Dominic hesitated slightly. “Not exactly… but it didn’t look like a casual conversation either.” Princewill leaned back slowly. “What about Javier?” “He stayed behind and watched her leave.” Princewill’s jaw tightened faintly. “Keep watching him.” “Yes, sir.” Dominic paused before adding carefully, “Should we intervene?” Princewill shook his head. “Not yet.” Dominic nodded and stepped away, leaving the room in silence. Princewill picked up the gl
CHAPTER 345
The following evening, Riverage City was alive again. Soft golden lights illuminated the streets, and the river reflected the glow like scattered diamonds. Cassandra stood on the balcony of Princewill’s penthouse, her arms folded lightly across her chest as the cool breeze brushed her hair. She seemed thoughtful and quiet. Princewill stepped outside, two glasses in hand. He handed one to her. “You’ve been quiet.” Cassandra took the glass but didn’t drink. “I was just thinking.” “About?” She hesitated. Then sighed. “Javier.” Princewill didn’t look surprised. “I figured.” She leaned slightly against the railing. “I didn’t expect to see him here… especially not like that.” Princewill studied her carefully. “How do you feel about it?” Cassandra frowned slightly. “I don’t know.” That was honest. Princewill remained calm. “You don’t know?” She shook her head. “I thought I was over everything… over him… over what happened between us. But seeing
CHAPTER 344
One evening, the knock came late, as it was past eleven. Riverage City had quieted, but not entirely. The city never truly slept — it only softened. Javier stood by the balcony of his penthouse suite, a glass of whiskey in his hand, staring down at the city lights. His thoughts were restless, tangled… and entirely centered on one person and one person alone, Cassandra. He knew that he shouldn't be coveting her when he was the one who hurt her really bad and scarred her for good, but then again, he couldn't live without her. He shouldn’t have made himself known or seen, he knew that. But he also knew he would do it again and again until Cassandra became his. A faint knock sounded at the door and Javier frowned slightly. He wasn’t expecting anyone, he set the glass down slowly and walked toward the door. His movements were calm, controlled... the same composure he carried everywhere. He opened it, and there he was, Princewill. Neither of them spoke immediately, the silence
CHAPTER 343
The night after the grand engagement party, Riverage City glowed like a jewel under the velvet sky. The towering skyline shimmered with golden lights reflecting across the calm river that cut through the city like a ribbon of silver. Cassandra leaned slightly against the glass railing of the private yacht, her hair dancing softly in the wind as she looked out at the breathtaking view. “This city is beautiful…” she murmured, her voice soft with awe. Princewill watched her instead of the view. To him, she was the most beautiful thing in sight. “I figured you'd like it,” he replied calmly, his hands tucked casually into his pockets. Cassandra turned to him, her lips curving into a gentle smile. “You figured right. I’ve traveled to a lot of places… but Riverage somewhat feels different.” Princewill’s gaze softened. “Riverage has a way of doing that,” he said quietly. The yacht glided smoothly across the river, passing elegant bridges lit with soft amber lights. Soft
Chapter 342
Dianna didn’t say much as she walked beside her father. Her heels clicked softly against the marble floor, each step measured, graceful… but heavy. Finn noticed. Of course he did. He noticed everything about his daughter — even the things she tried to hide. The driver opened the door. Finn entered first. Dianna followed quietly and the door shut behind them. The silence inside the car was immediate, not uncomfortable. Just… thick. The city lights moved past the tinted windows, streaks of gold and white sliding across Dianna’s face as she stared ahead. Her hands rested in her lap, fingers intertwined, tightening slightly every now and then. Finn didn’t speak immediately. He leaned back slightly, his eyes shifting toward her briefly. She was composed. But he knew better. She always became quieter when something weighed on her heart and tonight, she had barely spoken since that moment. Since she saw Steven. Since she admitted what she never thought she
