CHAPTER 106: The Power Vacuum
The exact second the live clarification broadcast concluded, Rose finally let out a long, heavy breath she had been holding for what felt like hours. Her limbs felt weak, yet an overwhelming sense of profound relief washed over her chest. She turned her head toward Itari, who was sitting directly beside her. Her stepmother was still sobbing softly, but the expression in her eyes was far more alive than it had ever been while she was locked away inside Baskoro's living hell."We did it," Rose whispered, encasing Itari's hand in a tight, reassuring grip.Itari turned to Rose and instantly pulled the younger woman into a fierce embrace. "Thank you, Rose. I honestly don't know... if you hadn't helped me, I might have committed suicide because I simply couldn't endure it anymore. Thank you for pulling me out of that hell," Itari wept against her shoulder.A gentle smile touched Rose's lips, and she extended both arms to pat Itari’s back. For the first time in her life, she experienced a st
CHAPTER 105: The Shockwave
In a lavish penthouse suite on the highest floor of the Arunika Hotel, Baskoro hurled a crystal glass against the wall, shattering it into a thousand flying fragments.Crash!"Idiots!" he roared, his voice thick with unbridled fury.The two men clad in black suits standing before him immediately lowered their heads, their postures rigid with tension."How could they possibly slip away and make contact with Richard?!" Baskoro’s voice echoed violently throughout the room."Forgive us, Sir," one of the men replied nervously, his voice trembling. "Richard’s security details had secured every single access point to the building before our operatives could even arrive."Baskoro’s jaw set into a hard, rigid line.On the massive television screen mounted on the wall, the news broadcast concerning Itari continued to play on an endless loop."ITARI ROSALINA ALLEGEDLY INVOLVED IN AN ILLICIT AFFAIR WITH A BODYGUARD!"Yet, far from looking satisfied, Baskoro appeared even more enraged. The initial
CHAPTER 104: Counter-Offensive
"Insolent bastards!" Clara hissed, her jaw clenching hard.Samson snatched the phone from Clara’s hand and scanned the article rapidly. The headline was plastered in massive bold letters across various gossip portals and online news outlets."ITARI ROSALINA ALLEGEDLY HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH HER HUSBAND'S OWN BODYGUARD!!!"Right beneath the headline was a photo of Samson carrying Itari the previous night. It was a shot clearly taken surreptitiously from a distance.Samson’s gaze instantly turned glacial. "They moved quickly," he murmured in a dangerously low tone.Rose scrolled through the other articles, and the more she read, the paler her face became. "They’ve already launched a preemptive strike," she whispered.Embedded within the article was a video of Itari’s biological father weeping in front of the camera."My daughter has been unruly since she was a child," the old man claimed in the video. "She always craves attention. Mr. Baskoro was incredibly generous to help our family, bu
CHAPTER 103: A Daughter's Choice
Rose froze. Samson's sharp, piercing question seemed to slice through the heavy silence of the villa, hitting her right in the chest.She looked at the cracked medicine bottle in Samson’s hand, then shifted her gaze to Itari, whose shoulders were still trembling from weeping. For years, Rose had built a wall of cynicism, believing that her father, Baskoro, was simply a harsh and demanding man who was difficult to please. But tonight, that illusion shattered completely.He wasn't just a harsh father. He was a monster who systematically destroyed the people around him."Rose?" Samson called out softly, his voice dropping its dangerous edge, replaced by a rare touch of gentleness as he observed her pale face.Rose drew a deep, ragged breath, her hands trembling slightly before she tightly clenched them into fists. When she raised her head, the habitual mask of the cold, unyielding director of Roseland Corp was firmly back in place, though her eyes glinted with a mix of pain and fury."I
CHAPTER 102: Shattered Fragments
"Bianca, this is Mrs. Itari," Samson said, introducing her to the teenager."Hello, Auntie. I'm Bianca," she said, forcing a stiff smile. Her hands were visibly white-knuckled as she clutched the edge of Samson's jacket.Samson noticed her immediate apprehension around unfamiliar faces. "Let me walk you to your room first, okay? That way you can get some rest," he offered gently."But you won't leave again, right, Daddy?" Bianca asked, her eyes clouding with restlessness."No. I'll be resting right here on the sofa. You can find me here whenever you look," Samson replied, gently patting her head.The girl nodded and rose from her seat. "Mrs. Itari, I will escort Bianca first. We can talk further when I return," Samson noted."Yes, of course, Sam," Itari replied, still visibly bewildered.As Samson led Bianca away, Itari remained standing in the foyer, her eyes locked on their retreating figures."Good heavens, is that girl truly Samson's daughter?" Itari murmured to herself. "So, that
CHAPTER 101: Tangled Alliances
Exactly twelve minutes later, a dull white city car pulled over slowly at a dark, secluded section of the road, directly beneath the overpass. Its primary headlights were cut, leaving only the dim glow of the parking lights cutting through the gloom.Samson moved with lightning-fast reflexes. He opened the front passenger door, slipped inside, and pulled it shut with absolute silence.Clara, who was sporting a loose bomber jacket and oversized sunglasses to obscure her identity, stomped on the gas pedal the exact second she heard the door lock engage."Are you alright, Sam?" Clara asked, throwing a brief glance toward Samson as he lowered his face mask, revealing the rugged, sharp lines of his face, which still bore the residual tension of combat."I'm fine. The situation is growing increasingly volatile; Baskoro has deployed Emran into the field to intercept our plans," Samson explained, letting out a heavy exhale."They're likely beginning to lose their grip because their fabricated
