“Here comes the queen of my life, the one who holds my heart, the pride of the nation, the envy of all women. My woman, my pride,” he said and everyone turned around.

Victoria Edwards walked in, wearing a stunning white wedding gown with intricate lace details and a delicate train. The gown hugged her figure perfectly, accentuating her elegance.

Her hands were gently wrapped around Old Master Edward's arm, and a soft smile played on her lips.

A veil covered her face.

Maria's eyes widened in shock as she took in the scene before her.

"Vi….victoria!" she gasped, her gaze darting between Ethan and Victoria. She took a step backward, feeling like she'd been punched in the gut.

It all made sense now, the shopping trips, the constant questions about what Maria wanted. She felt like she was losing her mind, like she wasn't herself anymore.

Without thinking, Maria lunged at Victoria, fueled by anger and hurt.

"You bitch!" she shouted, struggling against the men who held her back. "How d

    Chapter 137.Victoria turned to him. “You’re joking,” she said.He shook his head. “I’m dead serious.”Her eyes widened. “Do you even understand what this means? Do you know what you’re doing to yourself?”Before he could answer, the crowd erupted, chanting, “Miracle Doctor! Miracle Doctor!” over and over.Victoria gripped Ethan’s hands tightly. “Don’t listen to them,” she urged. “You don’t have to prove yourself to anyone. You already won the war, that’s what matters most. Don’t you get it?” she barked, her voice sharp with frustration.Ethan’s gaze swept over the crowd, their faces filled with hope and desperation. His jaw tightened, but he didn’t look away.“I have to do this,” he said firmly.Victoria shook her head, her grip tightening as if she could physically hold him back. “No, you don’t! This isn’t bravery, it’s suicide!” Her voice trembled, a mix of anger and fear.But Ethan only stepped forward, the chants growing louder, drowning out her protests.“Miracle Doctor! Mira

    Chapter 136.The ambulance arrived in a rush, medics pouring out as they began loading the wounded soldiers. Despite his own injuries, Ethan stepped in to help.“You don’t need to bother, sir,” one of them said gently.Ethan only gave a faint smile. “It’s fine. Don’t worry about me,” he replied.He lifted another soldier onto the stretcher, his muscles straining, pain stabbing through his side with every movement. The air reeked of blood and smoke, sirens wailing in the background.A medic caught his arm. “Sir, you’re bleeding….”“I said I’m fine,” Ethan cut in, voice firm but low. His eyes swept over the remaining men, counting them, memorizing each face.This wasn’t the time to rest. Not when his men were still falling.He climbed out of the van, one hand pressed against his wound. They had driven fast, and now they were finally at the hospital.The moment Ethan stepped out, Victoria spotted him. “Ethan!” she cried, running into his arms. He hugged her tightly..“You’re safe,” she

    Chapter 135.Ethan’s eyes darkened. “No,” he growled. “We’re not losing this war.”He looked up at the smoke-filled sky, anger burning behind his eyes.“Call in reinforcements from the Northern block. And tell Command to release the emergency weapons cache. If Jack wants war, I’ll show him what war really looks like.”"Yes, sir," one of the men said, saluting Ethan. With that, they left. Ethan turned to the remaining soldiers."You—go from behind and throw the bomb. The rest of you, follow me.""Yes, sir!" they chorused, their voices sharp and determined. And with that, they moved out toward the battlefield. The air grew thick with smoke and the distant thunder of artillery. Boots pounded against the dirt as they advanced, each step carrying them closer to the chaos ahead. The ground trembled with every explosion, dust raining down from the force.Ethan’s gaze swept over the terrain, his mind calculating every move. “Stay low,” he barked, raising a fist. The squad dropped instantl

    Chapter 134.“War?” he asked, standing up sharply. Victoria stood too, concern flashing across her face.“Yes, sir,” the man said quickly. “It broke out in the South Province.”Ethan let out a sharp hiss of frustration. “How the hell did you let this happen? I gave you one simple job, and you still managed to mess it up.”“I tried to inform you,” the man replied, his voice tight. “But you were… occupied. Jack took advantage of that. He signed the war contract while you were unavailable.”“That fucking bastard,” Ethan growled, clenching his fists. His jaw tightened, rage boiling just beneath the surface. “He knew exactly what he was doing. I swear,” he muttered through gritted teeth, “I’m going to make him regret ever crossing me.”Victoria watched him carefully. “Ethan,” she said softly, “you need to breathe. Think before you move….”“Don’t tell me to breathe!” he snapped, turning to her. “He declared war, Victoria. While I was here, trying to have dinner, trying to be human for fiv

    Chapter 133.Ethan sped through the streets, his hands gripping the wheel tightly. When he reached the storehouse, he didn’t waste a second, he jumped out of the car and rushed inside.One of his men stepped forward. “Sir, Don is sick.”Ethan’s eyes landed on Don, who was slumped in the corner, pale and barely breathing. For a second, he stared at him, cold, unmoved.“I wish I could feel something for you,” Ethan muttered. “But I can’t. That’s exactly how my mum was, sick and helpless. And you left her to die.”“P...please…” Don croaked weakly.Ethan let out a bitter chuckle. “I’m not here for you.”He walked past him without a second glance, heading straight for Jack’s boy. One of his men had the boy’s head shoved into a bucket of water.“Stop!” Ethan shouted.The man froze.“Who the hell told you to do that, huh?” Ethan barked, rage burning in his eyes. “Did I ask you to drown him?”“Sir, I thought you’d like it,” the man said quietly.Ethan hissed. “What do you even know about wh

    Chapter 132.Caleb’s father and the rest of the family arrived at the location, their eyes scanning the area in panic.“Caleb!” they called out desperately. “Caleb!” his father shouted again, voice breaking with fear.Somewhere nearby, Caleb heard his name, but he couldn’t respond. The boils had already spread up to his throat. He couldn’t even cry, his own tears would burn his skin. All he could do was curse Ethan silently and pray that someone would find him.“Caleb!” his father’s voice rang out again, louder this time. Everyone turned toward him as he stood frozen, his hand trembling as he pointed toward something.They followed his gaze, and gasped. There, barely recognizable, was Caleb.“Caleb!” his father cried, rushing toward him.He dropped to his knees beside his son, staring at the youngest of his children. A storm of emotion passed over his face, pain, helplessness, and a deep, burning rage.He wasn’t just looking at his wounded son. He was looking at the reason for vengea
