Karvel stepped out of his car and closed the door softly.

He walked toward the door and pushed it open. The living room was dark, only the soft glow of the light showing the shape of the furniture. No sound. No movement.

“Elena?” he called out, his voice echoing a little.

No answer.

He walked deeper into the house, passing the kitchen, and stopping in front of their bedroom door. He pushed it open. The bed was untouched. Everything was in its place, but the room felt empty. He checked the balcony, the bathroom, everywhere.

Still nothing.

Just then, his phone rang. He looked down and his heart stopped for a second. Elena.

He answered immediately, not even waiting for the second ring.

“Elena? Where are you? I've been looking for you.”

Her voice came through the phone, but it was weak, shaking. “Karvel… I’ve been calling you. Why didn’t you pick up?”

“I didn’t see any calls,” Karvel said and stepped back into the living room. “What’s going on? I’m home now. Where are you?”

    Karvel slowly pushed open Elena’s bedroom door. He did it carefully, trying not to make a sound. The soft light from the bedside lamp showed the room clearly, and to his surprise, Elena was awake, sitting on the bed with her back resting against the headboard.She was staring at the wall, lost in her thoughts.“Why haven’t you been sleeping?” Karvel asked gently as he stepped inside and closed the door behind him.Elena did not answer him.Instead, she turned her face to the other side of the bed, refusing to look at him.“Please leave my room,” she said in a low but firm voice. “I want to be alone.”Karvel’s heart sank. He moved closer to the bed slowly.“Elena, please,” he said softly. “Let me explain.”But before he could get any closer, Elena suddenly turned and raised her voice.“Don’t come near me!” she shouted. “Just leave my room!”Her sudden reaction shocked him.“I can see everything clearly now,” Elena continued, her voice shaking with anger and pain. “You planned all this

    The sound of a car door opening broke the quiet of the night.A man stepped into the back seat and slammed the door shut. Before he could even sit properly, he turned angrily toward Liza.“What are you thinking?” he snapped. “How dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?”Liza kept her eyes on the road. Her hands were tight on the steering wheel.“I’m really sorry,” she said quickly. “I was angry when you asked me to send money again. That’s why I spoke that way.”The man scoffed and leaned back in the seat, not caring about her apology or his surroundings.Before he could say another word, someone suddenly grabbed him from behind.A cloth was pressed tightly over his face.“Mmhh—!” he struggled, but it was too late.The car swerved sharply as Liza drove off the road and into a quiet path hidden by trees.Minutes later, the car stopped.Alex dragged the man out roughly. His hands were already tied, and his body was weak from the struggle.“Move,” Alex said coldly as he push

    Elena pushed open the car door without looking. She was in a hurry, her mind running in many directions. She didn’t even notice someone walking past.The door hit the person hard.“Ah!” the woman cried out.Elena froze. She jumped out of the car immediately. “Oh my God, I am so sorry! Please forgive me. I didn’t see you.”“It’s okay,” the woman replied, rubbing her arm with a small wince. She looked up at Elena and her eyes widened in surprise. “Mrs. Elena?”Elena blinked, trying to place her face. Then she finally recognized her—the woman was one of her former workers from the company.“Oh… it’s you,” Elena said softly.The woman crossed her arms. “Why haven’t we seen you at work? Everyone keeps asking.”Elena didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she opened the car door wider. “Do you want to talk here? Or should we sit inside?”“Let’s talk inside the car,” the woman said.They both got into the car, and Elena shut the door behind them. For a moment, they sat in silence, looking strai

    Margret drive down the quiet street that led to Richard’s house. The morning air was cold, and the sky was still grey. She hugged her sweater closer to her body as she approached the tall white gate. She wasn’t in the mood for any trouble today, but she needed to talk to him. The company was falling apart, and she couldn’t sit back and watch everything crash.She knocked once.No answer.She knocked the second time.Nothing.By the fifth knock, she was already losing patience.Finally, the door swung open, and a young woman stood there. She wore short blue pajamas, heavy makeup, and a frown that reached the floor. Her eyes moved from Margret’s face down to her shoes, slowly and rudely.“Who are you?” the woman asked sharply.Margret didn’t even bother answering. She stepped inside like she owned the place. Her heels clicked loudly on the tiled floor.“I’m here to see Richard. And you?” Margret asked, raising her brow.The lady folded her arms and smirked. “I understand people like you

    Karvel was fast asleep when his phone began to ring softly beside him. The sound pulled him slowly out of his deep sleep. He turned on the bed, his eyes still half-closed, and reached for the phone.It was Morrison calling.He answered gently, his voice low and sleepy.“Good morning, Morrison,” he said.“Check your email,” Morrison said from the other end. His voice was calm, but serious.Karvel sat up at once. The sleep in his eyes disappeared.“What?” he asked, covering his mouth with his palm as he yawned.Before Morrison could say anything else, the call ended.Karvel stared at the phone for a few seconds. His heart began to beat fast. He knew Morrison would not ask him to check his email without a good reason.Just then, Florida moved beside him on the bed. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him.“What happened?” she asked softly, still struggling to wake up fully.“I’m fine,” Karvel replied gently. “I just have to go now. There’s something important I have to attend to at

  • CHAPTER 227

    Alex parked the car at the side of the road. The long drive had made both of them tired. The evening sun was low in the sky, and the road looked quiet.Liza turned to him and asked, “What are you waiting for?”Alex looked ahead and then at her. “I want to get something to eat,” he said.Before she could reply, he had already opened the car door and stepped out. Liza sighed softly and followed him. They crossed the road and entered a small restaurant nearby. It was not crowded, but a few people were seated inside, eating quietly.They found a table near the window and sat down. A waiter came to take their order. Alex ordered food and drinks for both of them.While waiting, Liza started looking around the restaurant. Her eyes moved slowly from one table to another. Her face showed clear worry, as if she was searching for someone.Alex noticed her strange behavior. “Hope everything is okay?” he asked, watching her closely.Liza touched her stomach lightly and forced a weak smile. “I don’
