“No. Do not waste your time with that pitiful excuse of a man. The dog has returned to the streets. Let him stay there,”

Amanda's eyes darkened as Sera held her back.

“But mother… he assaulted you. I want to see him kneel before you, begging you in tears as he leaks your shoes!” Amanda shot back.

She forced her hands into Luther's who just stood there, glaring at them all.

"The most urgent thing right now is to finalize your marriage with Luther," Sera said, her voice laced with a sense of urgency. "We need to make that stupid Devin give up. If he sees you're out of reach, he'll reconsider creating such a scene next time."

"Devin even even rented a car at great cost when he came today. A Porsche. The bastard is just bitter…” Jim snickered.

“We can't let him succeed. He just wants to mess up your wedding!" Jim sneered and tried to laugh, but the pain made him stop.

“Now that I think about it, you're right. Perhaps he just wants attention to see if I'll reconsider him. Ha! He's even more delusional than I thought!” Amanda said and burst out laughing. Sera joined her.

“I don't think I should be here for this kind of talk,” Luther suddenly stated and Amanda turned to him.

He pretended his face was flushed with embarrassment as he chided them for discussing such things in front of him.

"You're too shy, Luther. I'm lucky to have found such an excellent man." Amanda, however, seized the opportunity to tease him.

Aww…” Sera purred while Amanda forced her lips on Luther. But Luther was disgusted by them all. He just forced a smile to keep up appearances.

"My friends are all envious that I get to be Luther's brother-in-law. A big shot like him as my brother-in-law will change my life forever!”

“You're one lucky woman, Amanda. This family is lucky to have Luther!" Jim added.

Luther's smile hid his true thoughts.

He knew Amanda's background was questionable, that she was shallow and vulgar, with nothing but a pretty face and ass to her.

But he had been married for many years without an heir, and now Amanda was pregnant with his child.

He had to ensure his child's legitimacy, no matter the cost.

Just wait two years, let Amanda deliver the baby smoothly, and he'll throw this woman and her greedy family away like garbage!

Luther sneered as the thought danced through his mind

“What are you thinking about babe?” Amanda suddenly asked him but Luther smiled.

“New ways to make you happy, my love,” he replied and she purred.

"The location for the wedding has already been decided," Luther said, his voice smooth as silk. "It will be held at the Le Grande Auditorium in the ultra-exclusive villa area."

Amanda's eyes widened in shock, her face alight with excitement. "That's the best auditorium in the city, maybe even the whole country!" she breathed.

“Only the richest folks get to visit that villa. And one would need a special invite to drop by. Will my daughter get married there? This is a fairytale!” Sera exclaimed with excitement.

"I never thought I'd be able to get married there. The last wedding was five years ago, and it was the president's precious daughter. I will be the center of attention for a whole month if this happens!” Amanda cried with excitement.

“Thank you, babe. I love you so much!” She hugged Luther and kissed him deeply.

“Anything for you, my love,” he replied to her.

“How did you manage to get a reservation at the auditorium?” Amanda asked, genuinely curious.

“I paid twenty million dollars!” He replied.

Sera and Jim exchanged proud glances, their faces reflecting their satisfaction. "Luther, you're amazing. I never doubted that you are the one for my daughter," Sera said.

Her mind roamed again to Devin but she quickly discarded the thought.

“Fucking jinx!” She cursed under her breath.

Luther smiled. He wrapped his arms around Amanda's waist.

"At the wedding, all the big shots in the villa area will send their blessings…” Suddenly, Luther frowned.

“... And it's said that a very prominent heir has moved into the Number 1 mansion in the villa area..." He said.

“Do you know who it is?” Amanda asked him.

“No. But to move into the Number 1 villa, you have to be filthy rich. I would like to meet him during the wedding. We can discuss business ideas,” Luther stated.

At the mention of such wealth and status, Amanda's heart jumped with greed. There and then, the insatiable parasite within her picked a new interest.

“I wonder who he is…” she muttered.

“Just two years, and I'll dump you the gutters where you belong. Worthless cum dump!” Luther cursed in his heart.

But outside, he wore a wide smile, holding Amanda closer than ever, so that she wouldn't suspect a thing.

Amanda smiled too. But her mind was already fixated on the latest landlord in the city.

“I have to meet him, no matter what it takes!” She thought.

    238. Petra thought she was going to self-combust as she ran. She didn’t even realise that she had started crying again as she shoved the heavy doors open with both of her hands, her chest heaving and she took large gulps of air. “Petra, wait!” Devin yelled behind her. She didn’t turn back. She didn’t want to see his face ever again, not after what he had done. Her bare feet hit the ground as she ran off and the guards bowed when she was passing but quickly moved aside silently when they saw how fast she was moving. Nobody dared stop her. Except Dreykov, that is. He ran after her. “Petra!” He called out, trying to grab her. “You can’t just—” “Don’t fucking touch me!” She snapped at him, turning around to glare at him with wild eyes. “Stay the hell away, Dreykov. All of you!” He froze a few steps away, hands raised. He looked back towards the doors where Devin stood in the shadows, watching. “Petra, listen to me.” Dreykov tried again. “No!” She screamed, her voice

    237. Petra was trying to take it all in, trying to register what the hell was happening. Blood was everywhere, on the floor, on the walls… on Devin's hands. She looked around, the ground seemed so close… it was then that she realised that she was kneeling in someone’s blood, and now the mess was on her too. She looked up. She had remembered seeing her father flung like a rag doll before she dropped to the ground. Was that a dream? Why did she feel like she was thinking underwater? Why did everything feel so unreal? She looked up, and sure as hell, her father was on the wall, pinned to it by a weapon. Her scream cut through the silence as she got up and ran to his body. "No! No, no, no papa!” She cried, reaching up to shake him with both of her hands. "Get up, please! Please get the fuck up! You bastard, you can't die on me now!" Her hands smeared more of his blood across his shirt as she tried to pull him down, but his head just lolled lifelessly and he didn’t even move an in

  • Chapter 236

    236. “Devin.” Petra whispered, her throat dry. Devin was standing, staring outside, his kid clearly on other things. He had not heard his fiancée calling him. Petra, however, had a lot on her chest and needed to let her emotions out. “Devin!” That startled Devin a bit. “Yes, gorgeous?” He responded, still looking outside. She sighed, rubbing her forehead. “Devin, I can’t keep watching this shit. My father and Eva both keep circling you like wolves. They’re going to make their move any time soon, and if we don’t do something first, they’ll do great damage.” Devin took in a deep breath, nodding. Then he finally turned around to looked at her. “You do know what you’re doing, right? You’re asking me to go against your father.” “I’m asking you to trap him.” She said, shaking her head. “I honestly don’t know how else. I’m not saying kill him, I don’t want his blood on your hands, I don’t want my father dead, but he needs to be handled. Just stop him, restrain him. D

    235. Petra walked into her father’s living room, looking around the place. Nothing had changed save for their estrangement, and when she entered, she found him sitting on the edge of a leather chair with his papers spread out on the table and a glass of something in his hand. “Petra, my dear.” Her father said without looking up. “You came.” She folded her arms. “Of course I came. You asked me to.” He finally raised his head, looking at her with those stubborn eyes. “I’m glad you did, dear. Sit down, we need to talk about Devin.” Petra shook her head, lips pressing into a thin line. “I didn’t come here to listen to more of your bullshit about him. I came to warn you about this thing you’ve got going on.” He looked at her, wondering where she got the audacity to speak tp him like that. “Warn me? Against what? That boy? He’s nothing compared to what I have on my side.” Petra dropped onto the couch opposite him, glaring. “Dad, you don’t get it, do you? This war

  • Chapter 234

    234. Petra's father was sitting stiffly on the edge of a long sofa, his hands clasped so tight that his knuckles had turned white. He was here out of desperation, a need to succeed at this, to beat that damned Stone boy at his own game. Across from him sat Kia's parents, both who still looked worn down by loss, their eyes hollow. He looked at them, thinking of how they looked like empty husks. He thought of Petra. Was this how it could be for him? No, he couldn't let anything happen to his only child. Kia's aunt clutched her rosary beads in the same manner a distraught English woman would clutch her pearls, and the quiet clicking of the beads together filled the empty silence. Eva stood near the window, looking outside. Mr Knight let out a breath and finally spoke. "God damn it." He muttered, shaking his head. "I still can't fucking believe this. Devin was connected to Kia's death? After everything that they had been through? I tried to tell myself it wasn't true, I wanted

    235.The silence lingered long after Eva was gone, a suffocating weight that pressed against the walls and seeped into Devin’s lungs. He could hear the faint drip of blood hitting the marble, each note a reminder of what had been stolen from him. His fingers flexed unconsciously, as if they still clutched Yvonne’s hand, though she was already beyond his reach.He forced himself to stand, muscles screaming, knees heavy. The hall looked different now—emptied of its grandeur, reduced to ruin. The chandeliers swayed faintly, shadows crawling across broken glass. In the wreckage, Devin saw more than a battlefield; he saw a graveyard. And in that moment, he realized that Yvonne’s death would echo far beyond this hall.The war Eva had promised wasn’t coming. It had already begun.⸻Marcus was waiting outside the doors, his back pressed against the wall, eyes wide and restless. The younger man flinched when Devin emerged, as though he expected to be struck. But Devin walked past him without a
