Chapter 86: The Poisoned Cage
Olivia's POV To avoid another misunderstanding, I stop Eddy before he can even think about running to Kelvin. "We need to be sure," I tell him, my voice calm but firm. He's frustrated I can see it all over his face but I won’t risk stirring chaos without proof. “If we tell Kelvin now, and it turns out to be nothing, it’ll only push him further into confusion and mistrust.”Eddy frowns, pacing slightly, but he knows I’m right. I continue, “We investigate first. We watch. We dig. Once we have something solid, we’ll tell him. Until then, we stay quiet.”He finally nods, reluctantly agreeing. I feel the pressure building in my chest. Everything’s spiraling around Kelvin, and if we’re not careful, we’ll lose the little control we have left. I care about him maybe too much and right now, protecting him means holding back the truth… just a little longer.Kelvin's POV I sit in my office, the city skyline glowing beyond the tinted windows. But I’m not really looking at it. My mind is elsewhe
Chapter 84: The Traitor in the Shadow
Kelvin's POV The air has felt different lately, heavier. There’s a buzz around me I can’t shake eyes watching, shadows moving. Ever since I went public, I’ve become a target in a different way. It’s no longer about corporate sabotage; now it’s personal. Every handshake could be poison, every smile a lie.Eddy's been quiet since the doctor cleared him. I expected him to take it easy, but I should have known better. That man doesn’t know how to sit still. He’s somewhere out there, and I know better than to think he’s just resting. He’s hunting, calculating, and watching the very walls that surround me.The last few days, I’ve noticed something odd about one of my bodyguards . He’s attentive but too perfect. Memorizes my schedule down to the second. And when I double back or change course, there’s the slightest flicker of hesitation in his expression. Not fear. Not concern. Calculation.I didn’t say anything to Eddy. I figured I’d monitor the situation, but something told me he already
Chapter 84: The Poison Spreads
Brianna's POVI pull into my driveway just after leaving Kelvin’s place, still reeling from the way he snapped at me. I tell myself not to take it personally. He's under pressure, the media won’t stop following him, and everything about us is suddenly trending. But it still hurts. I just wanted to talk about our future, not fight.As I’m unlocking my front door, I hear a voice behind me.“Rough night?”I turn sharply. Zac.Of all people, why him?“I don’t have time for your games,” I say, stepping back. But he raises his hands as if in peace.“I’m not here to fight. I just thought you’d want to know the truth.”My jaw tightens. “What truth?”He leans casually against the wall. “I just came from Lydia’s house. She and I had an interesting conversation.”I try not to react, but my pulse quickens.“She made a deal with me,” he continues. “She wants you out of the picture. No marriage, no spotlight. She thinks you’re a threat to Kelvin’s empire.”I stare at him, unblinking. I want to say
Chapter 83: Breaking Point
Kelvin's POV The night is quiet too quiet.I sit alone in my study, the warm glow of my desk lamp casting long shadows on the wall. I try to focus on the stack of reports in front of me, but the words blur together. My thoughts keep drifting to Brianna. To Lydia. To everything spiraling out of control since I revealed my identity.I lean back in my chair, staring at the ceiling.How did it all get so complicated?The knock on the door pulls me out of my haze. I expect it to be one of the new bodyguards, maybe checking in but when I open the door, it’s Brianna.She walks in like she belongs here. Her heels click softly against the marble, her perfume trailing behind her like a memory. She smiles gently, holding a bottle of wine.“I figured we could have a proper evening. Just us.”I nod, stepping aside. “You didn’t have to.”“I wanted to,” she replies, brushing past me. “It’s been tense lately. I miss... this. Us.”We sit down on the couch, glasses in hand, and for a while, it’s peace
Chapter 82:The Poisoned Offer
The door slams behind Brianna, and for a second, I just stand there, letting the silence wrap around me like a noose. My heart is still pounding from the argument, but the image of her eyes glistening, voice cracking, shoulders trembling won’t leave me alone.Damn it.I rub my hand down my face, exhaling hard, and then I move. Fast. I don’t even grab my coat. I just throw the door open and chase after her.She’s already halfway to her car, wiping tears off her cheeks with the back of her hand. Her shoulders are hunched like she’s trying to fold herself into nothing.“Brianna!” I call.She pauses, just barely.I jog the rest of the way and catch her by the arm, gently. “Wait.”She turns to me, eyes red. “What now, Kelvin? Want to yell at me again? Tell me how my feelings are a burden to you?”I wince. “No. I was out of line. I’m sorry.”She looks away, lips pressed tight, silent.“I didn’t mean to lash out like that,” I say softly. “I’m... under pressure. But that’s not your fault. You
Chapter 81: The Weight of the Crown
Kelvin's POV I thought revealing my identity would end the war.Turns out, it only changed the battlefield.Now the enemy isn’t just Zac, or Justin, or their underground schemes. It’s the blinding flashes, the microphones shoved in my face, the endless headlines twisting every move I make. The moment my face hit the screen, the media pounced like vultures sensing fresh meat.“Kelvin Flynn spotted buying coffee alone, where's Brianna?”“Is Eclipse Group’s CEO hiding another secret heir?”“Kelvin Flynn’ morning jog fuels marriage rumors.”The absurdity is laughable until it’s not.They’re everywhere. Outside my estate. Following my car. Posing as delivery drivers, janitors, even fake fans just to get a closer look. Every step I take is watched, recorded, dissected. I can’t breathe without someone wanting a quote or a photo.“Sir, we need to move now,” one of the new bodyguards says as I step out of the office.I glance at him tall, scar-faced, alert. He’s one of the A4 elites Lydia hir
