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
CHAPTER 341
Across the room, Sarah watched but carefully. “She’s good for him,” Helen said beside her. Sarah didn’t respond immediately. “She stabilizes him,” Helen added. “That depends,” Sarah replied quietly. Helen frowned slightly. “On what?” Sarah’s gaze lingered on Steven. “On whether he lets himself be stabilized.” A pause. “And whether the world around him allows it.” Helen exhaled softly. “You always think too far ahead.” Sarah’s lips curved faintly. “And you don’t think far enough.” Helen scoffed and went on about her business, hoping to find someone who would at least look at her. Harry stood a few steps away and was silently observing. His eyes moved from Steven, to the guests, to the subtle alignments happening beneath the surface. And for a moment, something uneasy flickered across his expression a little bit of guilt. Because whatever he had stepped into by betraying his own son, was killing him. Back at the center of it all, Steven stood
CHAPTER 340
Jennifer, looking warm, confident and unyielding. Her hand slipped around Steven’s arm naturally, her body leaning slightly into his not aggressively, not dramatically, but with a quiet, unmistakable claim. And that was enough, enough for Dianna to feel it. A sharp, sudden drop in her stomach, like something had fallen way out of place. Like reality had just… settled in. “I was looking for you,” Jennifer said softly, her voice light but her eyes observant as they moved between them. Steven’s posture didn’t change. But his hand shifted slightly, resting over hers. “I’m right here.” Jennifer smiled. “I can see that.” Her gaze lingered on Dianna for a brief moment. Not hostile, not cold but aware... very aware. “Hi,” she said warmly. Dianna forced a smile. “Hi.” Jennifer’s hold on Steven didn’t loosen. If anything, it settled more comfortably. As if she belonged there, as if she always had. “We were just talking,” Dianna added, her voice steadier now
CHAPTER 339
The night had settled into its rhythm... soft music weaving through conversations, laughter rising and falling like a carefully conducted symphony, glasses clinking in subtle celebration of something that looked perfect on the surface. And then, the doors opened, sending a quiet shift through the room like an unseen current. Conversations didn’t stop, but they softened. Eyes didn’t stare, but they turned. The kind of attention reserved for people who didn’t need to announce their arrival to be noticed. Finn Guler walked in first. He carried himself the way he always did... controlled, unyielding, his presence cutting through the elegance of the evening with something far more rigid. His gaze swept the room not with admiration, but with assessment, as though he were measuring the worth of everything around him and finding most of it lacking. Beside him walked Dianna and unlike her father, she felt everything. Every glance, every whisper that tried to hide itself. Every
