Roman Kovac did not react at once, he rarely ever does.

When Steven’s encrypted file arrived with nothing but a brief line, We believe you should see this... Roman watched the footage alone.

Twice.

He did not flinch when Victor Hale’s voice filled the quiet study.

“…once she signs, stabilization gives us structured entry.”

He did not shift when Voss asked, “And if they resist?”

But at the soft, calculated reply, “She’ll think she’s protecting them” his jaw set, barely noticeable.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
