Chapter 114
As Mrs. Morgan step forward to slap Dustin, Serena stepped directly between them, her eyes flashing with a fierce, dangerous anger that her mother had never seen before."Mom, don't you dare lay a finger on him!" Serena snapped, her voice ringing out like steel. "Dustin is not who you think he is! Don't you ever call him useless again! He is the one who saved—""Never mind, baby," Dustin interrupted smoothly, stepping forward and placing a gentle, reassuring hand on Serena's shoulder. He looked at Mrs. Morgan with a calm, unbothered expression. "I'm sure the breakfast is almost ready. Let's not waste good food.""You shut your mouth, Dustin!" Mrs. Morgan snarled, her chest heaving. "I am talking to my daughter!""What is all this damn noise so early in the morning?!"A stern, commanding voice thundered from the entryway.Grandpa Earnshaw walked into the dining room, leaning on his polished wooden cane. His sharp eyes scanned the room, landing on Mrs. Morgan's red, furious face, then o

The warm morning sunlight poured through the sheer curtains of the master bedroom, casting a soft golden glow across the king-sized bed.Dustin slowly opened his eyes, stretching his arms as he reached out to pull Serena into his chest like he did every morning. But his hand hit cold, empty bedsheets.He bolted upright instantly, his tactical instincts kicking in. His heart raced. "Serena?"He swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood up, looking around the empty room. Panic flashed in his mind. ‘Did Ferdinand's lingering men make another move? Did someone break into the villa while I was asleep?’Dustin rushed out of the bedroom and hurried down the staircase, his mind racing through worst-case scenarios. But as he reached the ground floor, a rich, mouth-watering aroma hit his senses. The scent of freshly brewed coffee, sizzling bacon, and sweet pancakes drifted straight from the kitchen.He paused, frowning in total bewilderment. He quietly walked toward the kitchen threshol
Chapter 112
The Earnshaw villa was wrapped in a heavy, suffocating quiet. Outside, the midnight breeze rustled through the trees, casting long, swaying shadows across the walls of the master bedroom.On the large, velvet-draped bed, Serena tossed and turned in a fitful, restless sleep. Sweat glistened on her forehead, and her breathing came in short, jagged gasps. Beneath her closed eyelids, her mind was a violent storm of swirling colors, burning fire, and shattered darkness.Then, the floodgates opened.It didn't come in a gentle trickle; it hit her like a lightning strike.FLASH!She saw the very beginning—Chapter One. The cold, rainy day she met Dustin. She remembered how her mother had belittled him, calling him a penniless village boy who would amount to nothing. But she remembered Dustin’s eyes—steady, fierce, and filled with a quiet strength that made her heart skip a beat even back then. She remembered the secret, gentle vows he made to protect her, no matter what the world threw at them
Chapter 111
CLICK.The door handle turned, and the heavy hospital room door swung open.Both Matt and Serena snapped their heads toward the entrance, their voices instantly dying in their throats.Dustin stepped into the room. He was wearing his simple, dark casual jacket over a plain shirt, looking completely calm, collected, and ordinary. But if one looked closely, there was a faint scent of rain and gunpowder lingering on his shoulders, and his dark eyes were sharp, carrying the weight of a man who had just walked through a storm.He carried a small bag of warm food, his expression softening the moment his eyes met theirs."Dustin..." Serena gasped, stepping forward, her heart leaping into her throat.Dustin paused, noticing the absolute, frozen silence in the room and the intense, unblinking stares fixed directly onto him. He offered a gentle, reassuring smile."Hey," Dustin said softly, closing the door behind him. "Why is everyone looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?""Where were yo

The rain had finally stopped over the city, leaving a cool, quiet breeze blowing through the cracked window of the hospital room. Inside, the steady, rhythmic beep of the heart monitor filled the silence.Matt sat up slightly in his hospital bed, his bandaged chest rising and falling as he stared intently at his sister. Serena sat on the edge of the mattress, gently holding his hand, her face pale and exhausted from everything she had endured over the last few days."Serena," Matt spoke up suddenly, his voice sharp and serious, breaking the quiet. "There’s something else I haven't told you yet. Something I found in the executive office at the Quinn Group before everything went down."Serena looked up, blinking her tired eyes. "What are you talking about, Matt? You’ve already told us about the inside job and the fake bankruptcy.""No, not that," Matt said, leaning in closer, his voice dropping into a tense whisper. "It’s about your business. Serena, how could you have signed that massi

They burst through the heavy fire doors of the stairwell, panting heavily as they took the concrete steps three at a time. The sound of the helicopter's spinning rotors echoed from above, signaling their escape."We made it!" Marcus yelled, a manic, desperate laugh escaping his lips. "We actually made it!"They kicked open the final door leading to the open-air rooftop helipad. The cold night air and rain hit their faces. Fifty yards away, a sleek, black luxury helicopter sat with its engines idling, its pilot waving them over."Move! Move!" Julian shouted, sprinting across the wet concrete.BOOM!A terrifying, sonic boom ripped through the air above them.Before either man could take another step, a dark, heavy figure plummeted straight down from the sky, slamming onto the concrete right between them and the waiting helicopter. The force of the landing cracked the reinforced concrete deck, sending a shockwave that knocked both Julian and Marcus flat onto their backs.Dustin slowly st
