"Don't ask too many questions!" Debora threatened. "Just shut up and do as I say!"They remained silent in the car. Once the atmosphere calmed down a bit, Debora pushed Tania to go with her."Why are we going back?" Tania asked, her voice trembling. She tried to find an opening to escape, but Debora's grip was too strong, and the pistol felt cold against her temple.Debora smirked. "There's one unfinished business. And you, Madam Tania, are our ace in the hole."Inside the convention center, Markus Young still stood on stage, his face tense. Most of the guests had already been evacuated by Albert's team.Albert himself was still staggering from the gunshot wound in his leg, but he continued to issue commands, ensuring nothing was overlooked. The infiltrating 'Black Crow' team had been incapacitated and were now tied up, most unconscious. The hall, which had once been gleaming, was now a horrific battlefield, strewn with shattered glass, overturned chairs, and traces of blood."Sir! Go
Chapter 33
Markus searched for Karina out of concern. This was different from Richard and Alex, who were searching for Karina out of fear of losing the opportunity to control the Eager Group.Everyone was deployed. However, the search was in vain. No clues. No trace. It was as if Karina had vanished into thin air. The forces from both families began to grow weary and frustrated.Amidst the chaos of the search, simultaneously, every key member of the Young and Winter families received a message. The message landed on their private phones, from an unknown number, and with no sender name.The message read:'Don't look for me. You won't find me.'Everyone gasped. Richard, Markus, Maura, Sonia, and even Alex. They read the message over and over.Then, the next message arrived, seconds later:'I'll be somewhere else until the wedding day. Just prepare my wedding party with Markus. We'll meet there.'Markus remained silent, his phone still tightly clutched in his hand. His mind raced, trying to process

Markus kept ordering his bodyguards to search for Karina across the entire city, his face showing genuine worry. He feared his fiancée was injured, or kidnapped by irresponsible parties.In contrast to Markus, Richard, at his residence, considered Karina's disappearance a huge loss for them. He assumed this was Karina's trick to avoid marrying Markus."See? I told you," Richard mumbled to himself, pacing back and forth in the living room, in front of Maura who sat stiffly on the sofa, her eyes closed. "Dave must have influenced her! This must be Karina's own doing because she doesn't care about our family's fate!"Maura said nothing. She just sat silently, letting her son ramble. There was a deep weariness etched on her face. The shooting incident at the boutique yesterday, coupled with the commotion at Markus's house this morning, was too much for her."Now we just have to wait for the marriage cancellation announcement," Richard continued, fuming. "If Karina hadn't caused trouble, A

It was almost midnight. Markus Young's mansion was enveloped in a profound silence, broken only by the faint hum of the security system and the subtle whispers of the night.After ensuring Markus and Karina were resting, and all guards were at their respective posts, Debora finally finished all her duties. She returned to her room.Hurriedly, she pulled out her phone. Her jaw tightened, her eyes gleaming sharply. She called a number—one of her colleagues."Why didn't you make sure Dave was dead?!" Debora hissed. Her anger was so thick she could barely contain it. "Markus and Karina are still alive! Karina knew about the shooting at the boutique! They said Dave gave her the information!"The voice on the other end sounded nonchalant, even a little condescending, as if talking to a child. "Calm down, Debora. You're panicking too much. Dave is dead. We've confirmed it multiple times. You stabbed him several times. Then, we dumped his body into the deepest ravine outside the city. That ra

Albert staggered and fell. Thick, dark red blood began to ooze from his right leg, soaking the floor.With one hand clutching his wound, he raised his other hand, gesturing Markus and Karina towards the boutique's back door."Mr. Markus! Miss Karina! Quick! Run! Through the back!" Albert yelled, his voice hoarse with pain. "I'll hold them off! Save yourselves!"Markus turned to look at Karina, but his gaze stopped dead. Karina was still wearing her long, flowing wedding dress. The gown was beautiful, but now it was the biggest hindrance to her moving quickly."This dress!" Karina cried out, anxious. The gown was too long and heavy, making it difficult to move. Especially after she pushed Markus, the dress was wrinkled and slightly torn. There was no way she could run in it.Markus didn't hesitate. "Quick, take off your dress!" he ordered.Karina fumbled for the zipper on the back of the gown. It was tough. The dress was indeed intricate."Here, let me help you!" Markus swiftly moved c

Karina stepped out of her office building. It was eight in the evening. She walked alone toward the parking lot, and the place was deserted. In fact, not a soul was around.Just as she was about to open her car door, a shadow suddenly approached from behind. Karina was startled, her heart pounding. She reflexively spun around, ready to defend herself.Before her stood a tall man dressed all in dark clothing. Before she could even utter a word, the man told her to be silent and get into the car.Karina obeyed. She got into the car. Once inside, before she could ask anything, the man explained what was going to happen to Karina and her fiancé. Hearing that, Karina froze.A few days later, Karina received a call confirming that her wedding dress was ready for a fitting. Upon receiving that call, Karina's face turned pale."Karina!" Maura entered her granddaughter's room.Karina snapped out of her reverie. "Grandma, can I help you with something?"Maura slowly shook her head. "No, nothing
