Chapter 151
Adrian stepped into the inner office reserved for Director Reyes, the door closing softly behind him—but the weight of the moment made the room feel anything but quiet.Director Isabella Reyes rose immediately from her seat.Her composure, usually ironclad, cracked just enough to show reverence.“Welcome, Young Master,” she said, bowing her head slightly as Adrian moved past her and took the seat meant for the highest authority.He sat down unhurriedly, crossing one leg over the other, his posture relaxed—too relaxed for a man whose name alone had set the entire conglomerate into chaos.“Thank you, Reyes,” Adrian said calmly, his gaze lifting toward the one-way glass that overlooked the grand hall below. “From the looks of it, quite a few people have been eagerly awaiting my arrival.”A faint smile tugged at his lips—cold, amused.Reyes exhaled, half relieved, half exhilarated. “Yes. And I should apologize. I nearly stepped in earlier.”She hesitated, then continued, “I saw what Lucas

The low growl of a sports car cut through the noise outside the Cole Conglomerate.Heads turned instinctively.A sleek black machine slid to a smooth stop at the curb, its design sharp and unapologetic—nothing flashy, nothing excessive. Just power restrained.The engine went silent.For a brief second, no one moved.Then the driver’s door opened.Adrian Cole stepped out alone.He adjusted his cuffs calmly, straightened his jacket, and lifted his gaze toward the towering building ahead. The glass exterior reflected his figure—composed, unhurried, and utterly indifferent to the stares already gathering.No entourage. No assistants. No attempt to announce himself.Just him.Reporters froze mid-sentence.“Is that—?”“No way—”“Who is he?”Before anyone could react properly, Adrian walked forward.Security instinctively stepped aside.Something about his presence made hesitation feel foolish.Inside the hall, the atmosphere shifted the moment he entered.Lucas was the first to notice.He s

Morning descended on the Cole Conglomerate like a tide.By the time the sun climbed fully over the skyline, the entire front plaza of the towering building was already crowded. Black luxury cars lined the curb in perfect rows, drivers standing stiffly beside open doors as executives, investors, and influential figures stepped out one after another.Today was different.Today, the chairman would speak.Inside the grand hall, everything gleamed. Marble floors reflected the crystal chandeliers above. Tall banners bearing the Cole emblem hung from the upper levels, and a massive digital screen behind the main stage displayed a single line:WELCOME BACK, CHAIRMAN RYAN COLEEmployees stood in formation along the hallways, suits pressed, expressions alert. Every movement was controlled, rehearsed, and careful—as if one wrong step might shatter the fragile calm.At the entrance, a sleek black car stopped.Elena stepped out first.She paused for a brief second, adjusting her coat as her eyes s

The Coles Conglomerate headquarters shone like a beacon in the heart of the city. Glass walls reflected the early morning sun, cascading light across the polished marble floors and the towering logo of the company. The air inside was electric with activity. Every executive, assistant, and security personnel moved with precision, each step choreographed to project efficiency and readiness.The boardroom buzzed with urgency. Screens displayed graphs, financial projections, and project updates. Departments were finalizing reports, rehearsing presentations, and double-checking every detail for the chairman’s arrival. This wasn’t just a routine inspection; the company needed to appear flawless, disciplined, and fully prepared for the ultimate authority in their hierarchy.Evan Cole leaned against the polished mahogany table in the center, watching the activity with a composed smile. His hands were folded behind his back as he nodded occasionally, acknowledging updates from various managers

Chapter 147Lysa returned just before dusk.Her arms were full of grocery bags, her steps light despite the weight, humming softly to herself as she pushed the door open with her shoulder.“I’m back,” she called out cheerfully.The apartment was silent.Too silent.Lysa paused, frowning slightly.“Your Highness?” she called again.No answer.She set the bags down carefully and walked further in, peeking into the living room, then the kitchen.Empty.Her heart skipped.She hurried toward the bedroom, then Leon’s study—both empty.Finally, she turned back to the living room, where Leon stood near the window, hands behind his back, gazing outside as if lost in thought.“Leon,” Lysa said quickly, relief flickering before turning to concern. “Where is Her Highness?”Leon turned slowly.“Oh,” he replied calmly. “She went out.”Lysa blinked. “…Went out?”“Yes,” Leon said, his voice even. “She said she needed to get something.”Lysa’s brows knitted immediately.“That’s not possible,” she said

Chapter 146Princess Elowen hadn’t planned to disobey Leon.But unease had been growing in her chest all morning.It started when she woke up.The dream still clung to her bones—fragments of collapsing skies, Adrian’s fading silhouette, a gate that refused her passage. Even after opening her eyes, the weight of it refused to leave.Leon had brushed it off, as always.“Dreams here mean nothing,” he had said calmly. “You’re safe.”Safe.The word echoed strangely now.Elowen sat on the edge of the bed, fingers clenched in the sheets. Something was wrong. Not loudly. Not obviously. But subtly—like a thread pulled too tight.She pressed a hand to her chest.Her spiritual flow felt… uneven.Muted.Blocked in places it shouldn’t be.That realization alone was enough to make her stand.Lysa had gone out earlier with a list Leon gave her. Leon himself had stepped out “to handle work matters,” leaving Elowen alone in the apartment.Alone with thoughts she could no longer ignore.“If my power fe
