Chapter 1077 A New Legacy
Days later, the dining hall of Ferro House was transformed. Crystal goblets caught the light of the chandeliers, and the long table groaned under the weight of a feast fit for royalty.Domitila fussed over Miguel Ângelo, who was perched on a high chair like a little prince. Dressed in a miniature sailor outfit, he reached for a piece of fruit with chubby, uncoordinated fingers.Althea sat nearby, watching her great-grandson with a softness rarely seen in the iron matriarch."Is he learning to eat on his own?" she asked, a small smile on her lips."He is," Briana replied, smoothing the skirt of her evening gown. "But today, Domitila is on patrol. We can't have him making a mess in that outfit."Everyone was dressed to the nines. The air hummed with the anticipation of a celebration, though the exact cause remained a mystery to some.Sandro and Nadir took their seats, exchanging glances."We’re dying of curiosity, daughter," Sandro admitted, fidgeting with his napkin.Nadir leaned in, h
Chapter 1076 Prime Time Peace
The living room of Jake Brett’s apartment had been transformed into a makeshift studio, a tangle of cables and lighting rigs snakes across the floor.Mary Ellen sat in a plush armchair, waiting while the production crew tweaked the final settings.Opposite her, Jake looked every inch the leading man of Times of Glory. Gone were the casual clothes; he was sharp in a tailored shirt and tie, his hair styled to perfection.Beside him sat Celia. She wore a pinstripe suit that screamed executive authority, yet there was a softness to her posture, a magnetic pull that kept her leaning slightly toward Jake. The chemistry wasn't just for the cameras; it was palpable in the air."Are we clear?" Mary Ellen asked, smoothing her skirt."We can start," Celia replied, her voice steady.The cameraman counted down, and the red tally light blinked on."Dearest viewers of Glamour," Mary Ellen began, her professional smile beaming. "I am Mary Ellen Diaz, and today we are broadcasting from the beautiful h
Chapter 1075 Succession and Eviction
Hours later, the library felt less like a room in a family home and more like a corporate bunker. Gilson swirled the amber liquid in his glass, leaning against the mahogany desk he was about to vacate."Is it true?" Sandro asked, blinking as if waking from a long dream. "I am to be the CEO?""It is as you know," Gilson said, putting on a performance worthy of an Academy Award. "Ever since the news broke about Katrina... the public wants my head on a pike. They are threatening to cancel subscriptions, delete the app, the works. The Untamed just blew up; we can't let a scandal kill the hype."He pulled his smartphone from his pocket and thrust the screen toward his brother."Read it yourself."Sandro scanned the feed. It was a bloodbath. Users were posting hashtags, threatening boycotts, and demanding Gilson’s resignation.Having a daughter who was a traitor to the crown, one who had attempted to assassinate Lady Ferro, was unforgivable.What neither of them knew was that the initial wa
Chapter 1074 Terms of Surrender
Christopher paused, letting the silence last a little longer. He weighed his next words carefully, knowing how callous the truth might sound when speaking of the freshly dead."If I admit that I'm not entirely shattered by Katrina's death," he said slowly, meeting Dalila's gaze, "would that make me a heartless brother?"Dalila adjusted a spray bottle on her cart, choosing her words with diplomatic precision. "It depends on how you look at it. You can be sad for the loss of a life, and you certainly didn't wish for her death."But you are also aware that she willingly walked into danger with the intent to murder. If Katrina weren't dead right now, she would be in handcuffs.""Exactly," Christopher sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Either way, we lost Katrina a long time ago. I think... I think I always knew it would end something like this.""Regarding your plan to stay single," Dalila said, shifting the tone to something lighter, trying to pull him out of the dark, "don't worry t
Chapter 1073 A Slap of Reality
"And now, Mark?" Sandro asked with uncertainty. "What happens to us?"Mark offered a faint, reassuring smile. "You will continue to be my in-laws, of course. The only difference is that you’ll have to tolerate a security detail stationed around the mansion from now on.""Do we get royal titles too?" Nadir asked, her eyes lighting up.A ripple of genuine laughter moved through the room, a momentary balm that allowed them to forget, just for a second, the corpse in the morgue.Everyone laughed, except Claudia."HEY!"The sound was like a braying donkey, jarring and discordant. The laughter died instantly."Have you all forgotten a mere detail?" she screeched.Mark’s smile evaporated. He turned to face his aunt-in-law, his expression hardening into glacial ice."I don't know what you heard or what fantasy you choose to believe, Claudia," Mark said, his voice low and dangerous. "But facts are facts. Katrina broke into my home in the middle of a firefight—""Lie..." Claudia hissed through
Chapter 1072 The Morning After the Massacre
The headlines screamed in bold, uncompromising black ink across every newspaper front page and news portal in the country: ARMAND DRAKOV FINALLY DEAD!But inside the Vasconcelos Mansion, the finality of the press had not settled. The mood was gloomy with the sounds of a mother unraveling.Claudia wasn't just crying; she was convulsing on the sofa, a portrait of grief curdled into madness, unable to process the bloody result of her son's engagement party."No, no, NOOO!" Her wail bounced off the high ceilings, a raw, animalistic sound. "What is happening here, for the love of God!"The rest of the family sat in somber silence, respecting the gravity of death if not the person who died.Althea sat in her armchair like a statue carved from obsidian, dressed entirely in mourning black, her spine rigid."Honey, I am so sorry," Gilson murmured, looking diminished and stripped of his usual arrogance. "But we need to accept reality.""What reality?" Claudia snapped, her head whipping around,
