“Anyway, hello, Doc,” James said, greeting Samuel, who also approached him.

“Hey,” Samuel replied, patting James on the shoulder. “You look way better than before. I’m glad.”

“Thank you.” James smiled, his gaze moving to Oliver.

No one spoke between them, and no one even noticed the tension building in their eyes.

Seconds later, it was James who broke the silence.

“Do you want to say something?”

“I’m just trying to find out whether you’re an ally or an enemy,” Oliver answered honestly, looking James in the eye.

There’s no way he would ignore his intuition, which tells Oliver to be cautious right now.

“Commander,” Ray called, his tone confused. “He’s Jack’s brother. Why are you doubting him?”

“I’m not doubting him. I just have questions in my mind,” Oliver told Ray, then his gaze returned to James. “If you have that information, why did you hide it?”

“Because I don’t know who to trust,” James answered honestly.

He added, “If the government was also involved in this, how can I make su

    The call was from Juan, his boss at the Capital Hall. He used a different number and not his personal one.Frowning, Oliver answered the call. “Hello, Sir?”“Oliver! Where are you?”“At home,” Oliver answered, his brows furrowing further as he heard the panic in Juan’s voice. “Why? Did something happen?”“The storage room was infiltrated, and a security guard was dead!” Juan exclaimed in terror. “I heard they took a valuable thing there. Come here quickly! The higher-ups are looking for you!”Oliver sighed. “Alright… I understand.”He ended the call. With confusion evident in his eyes, he looked at Ray.“What happened, Commander?” Ray asked in curiosity.“Someone went inside the storage room and killed the security guard there,” Oliver answered, passing on Juan’s words earlier.He added, “I assume it happened as soon as I and Samuel left the Capital Hall.”“What…” Ray trailed off, remembering the information Oliver had there yesterday. “Could it be about the drugs? Do you think they t

    Seraphine struggled against Oliver’s grip, but he held her firmly in place.Her breath was uneven, her chest rising and falling as she glared at him with a mixture of hurt and fury."Let me go," she hissed."Not until you listen to me," he said, his voice unwavering. "I never meant to disappear. I never meant to leave you."Hearing the sincerity in Oliver’s voice, her resolve faltered for a brief moment, but the anger quickly returned."You think saying that will make this right?" she spat. "You vanished, Oliver. For three years, we thought you were dead. Do you know what that did to us?"Oliver's jaw clenched. He had imagined this conversation countless times, but nothing prepared him for the pain in Seraphine’s eyes.He even overlooked the fact that Seraphine said the word ‘us’ instead of ‘me’."I didn’t choose to leave. I was set up," he admitted. "That mission… It was a trap. Someone wanted me dead. And when I woke up, I had no memory of who I was.”Oliver paused, and spoke again,

    “Let’s end this here. I already knew what’s inside. That’s the most important thing.”That’s what Seraphine heard Oliver say inside a room that was only accessible to her—the only person authorized for the drugs hidden in the Capital hall.But Oliver being inside a restricted room wasn’t the reason for her being frozen.It’s the fact that he could see Oliver Wellington’s face, but the way he moved and talked made her realize it was a different person.A person that was familiar to her since they had been together for a long time.“Oliver… Hunt?” she muttered, her eyes and mouth widening in shock. “Could it be him?”She had her suspicions at first, but she ignored them, thinking that Oliver was just an ordinary person trying to survive.But seeing him right now doing something like this gave Seraphine a painful realization; She was deceived.Pulling her gun, he was about to approach him but stopped when a security guard entered the room and immediately scanned it.Seraphine stooped in

    “Crap,” Seraphine uttered, her hands touching the bruises on her neck, feeling the fear she had at that time.Earlier, she lied to the higher-ups when they asked for her statement.Even though she saw the robbers’ faces, if they asked why she couldn’t remember them, it would blow up something she was trying to hide.The powder on the handkerchief—it was drugs. It was the mere reason she got dizzy after consuming it.Seraphine knew how many people were waiting for her to mess up, so she could throw her from the Capital Hall.This could be the greatest opportunity for those people to fire her from Capital Hall. And that’s the last thing Seraphine wanted to happen.“Wait…” Seraphine suddenly stopped in her tracks, realizing that she overlooked a major detail. “No one saw the CCTV footage?”At that time, she was certain that Oliver already left the storage area, and it meant that the member who helped him, whoever it was, left the Capital Hall as well.‘If that’s the case… could someone

    A realization hit Oliver as soon as he said those words.Those people were just lurking in the shadows, and if Seraphine remembered their faces, they would take her instantly.‘I need to warn her,’ Oliver thought, ready to leave the room.To his shock, a man went to the door, blocking it to prevent Oliver from exiting the janitorial department.“Melvin,” Oliver called, his brows furrowing. “What are you doing?”“You’re curious whether the robbers who stole the drugs that night were employees at the Capital hall, right?” he asked, his lips curving into a smirk.“What if I tell you that you’re in front of one of them now?”Oliver froze upon hearing those words. The betrayal felt like hot water upon his skin.“Yeah. You hear it right. I’m one of them,” said Melvin in a mocking tone. “But I’m not the one who hurt Seraphine. It was the other one—”Before Melvin could finish his sentence, Oliver slammed him to the door, his right hand gripping tightly onto Melvin’s neck.“You bastard!” Oliv

    “It’s fine for you to beat me up like this, Oliver,” he said, smiling despite his coughing blood. “Because after all, I plan to distract you.”Hearing those words, Oliver froze, being unable to move.“What?”“You heard me right, Oliver,” Melvin smirked. “If I don’t have any plan aside from this, why do you think I’ll be here before you, blowing up my fully hidden cover?”Gritting his teeth, Oliver pulled Melvin on the collar again, looking him intently in the eye.“What the fuck are you talking about?” Oliver asked, his tone dangerously low this time, knowing that the plan could be related to Seraphine—the only witness of their crime.“I-I won’t tell you…” Melvin replied as if it was the only words he knew to say every time someone interrogated him.And no, it doesn’t matter whether he was hurt, tortured, or threatened with death. Melvin was willing to do everything for his brother, despite him turning out as someone beyond his expectations.Oliver smirked, letting go of Melvin. “Alr

    As Seraphine’s grip on the gun tightened more to the point it was making her skin red, her breathing hitched, looking at Francis in disbelief.“Francis…” she called, the confusion evident in her eyes. “This isn’t real… You’re a good person.”“A good person?” Francis asked, his tone mocking. “No one’s a good person in this world, Seraphine. Not even you.” He smirked.Seraphine couldn’t believe the words he was hearing from Francis, especially the kind of demeanor he was now showing.After her conversation with Francis earlier, she realized that Francis had told her there were two robbers—when she didn’t even mention the exact count in the first place.Confronting Francis about it was hard for Seraphine, especially since Francis is the only person who treated her decently, even after they clock out at work.“I don’t know why you did it… But you still have a chance to surrender,” Seraphine said, her tone low and gentle. “I’ll come with you, I promise.”Francis didn’t answer. Instead, he

    “My job was just to monitor you since you’re the only one with access to that safe,” Francis said with a smirk. “But damn, I didn’t expect you to be this fucking beautiful.” His gaze darkened as he leaned in closer. “And seeing you like this makes me want to slam myself on you.”Disgust churned in Seraphine’s stomach. She wanted to punch him hard but her body refused to move.“Damn… you,” she gritted out, forcing the words past clenched teeth.Francis chuckled, amused by her defiance. “Still feisty, huh?” His fingers dug into her chin. “Damn, baby. If you had just been a good girl, I would have defended you even though you knew who I was.”Then his smirk faded, his eyes narrowing.“But of all people… how the hell are you Oliver Hunt’s wife?”Seraphine stiffened. Her breath hitched as she met his gaze. “You… How did you know?”Francis sneered. “You didn’t even deny it.” His grip tightened. “Fuck. Fuck!”With a furious growl, he slammed his fist into the wall beside her, making her f

    “You’ll need to sign this to unlock the fund, Oliver,” Blackwell explained quietly, his tone professional but oddly distant. “It’s that easy.”Oliver’s hand hovered over the folder, but he didn’t open it just yet. His instincts were screaming at him, and the air in the room felt suffocating.‘Why did Trisha need me to sign this now?’ Oliver asked, his brows furrowing. ‘What was she planning?’“I’ll need a moment,” Oliver said, his voice low. “I also need to personally check my account and see if I can withdraw from it or not.Trisha’s smile faltered just slightly, though she masked it quickly. “Sure. He could do it, right? Mr. Blackwell?”“You can, Mr. Hunt,” answered Richard with a professional smile. “And if you can’t withdraw from it, you can go back here and let’s talk for a little longer.”Oliver nodded, and without hesitation, he went outside the private office.Just to be sure, he went to the reception area and asked, “Is Rebecca Carter in the VIP room?”“No, Sir,” the receptio

    Oliver paused, and a few seconds later, he stood slowly.“Let’s go, then,” he said in a low tone.Trisha blinked, caught off guard. “You’ll come?”“I’ll come,” Oliver replied. “But not for you. I want to see who else is trying to get their hands on my money.”Upon hearing those words, Trisha suddenly froze in her spot. ‘For sure that I didn’t make my words be interpreted that way,’ Trisha said, biting her lower lip.‘But how did he come to that conclusion?’Trisha was about to ask that question, but before he could speak, Oliver beat her to it.“Aren’t you coming with me?” Oliver asked, his brows furrowing as he was ready to leave the cafe at any time.“Y-Yes,” Trisha answered, taking a deep breath. “Wait for me.”*****The bustling streets outside Umbrella Bank seemed distant as Oliver and Trisha walked in silence. Trisha’s high heels clicked against the pavement, creating more tension in the air. Oliver, on the other hand, kept his eyes ahead. His mind was sharp, processing every

    “That’s the spirit,” Denver said, giving her a short nod of approval. “Then we have a deal, Trisha. I’ll help you get what you want.” Just remember, when the time comes, I’ll expect you to return the favor,” he added, a menacing smirk creeping to his face. “We’ll be working together on this.”Trisha didn’t even hesitate. She held his gaze firmly, a smile tugging on her lips. “Deal.”Both of them extended their hands, shaking hands as if they were doing a business agreement.Then, as Denver got up to leave, he gave her one last look. “Oliver won’t know what hit him. We’ll make sure of that.”It gave Trisha a sense of fulfilment, although they aren’t executing their plan just yet. But she has a good feeling about this.“We will.” Trisha nodded. “And even though we’re not starting yet, thank you for the help, Denver.”Denver only nodded in response before walking away, leaving Trisha sitting in the dimly lit bar, her mind now working with a sense of certainty. She had her plan, and wi

    Denver leaned back, his posture relaxed but his eyes sharp. “I’ve just been hearing a lot about you, Trisha. Especially about what happened last night.” He grinned. “You’ve got quite a... complicated situation going on with Oliver. And he humiliated you? At the parking lot?”Trisha did her best not to look shocked as soon as Denver said those words. But her eyes blew it all away.At the same time, she wasn’t that surprised with how much Denver knew. He had too many eyes in different places. Basically, now that Zayne was gone, the town was practically his.“I know that you’re not interested in gossip, and it’s the same as mine,” Trisha scoffed, rolling her eyes. “So, stop beating around the bush and tell me what you want.”Trisha couldn’t hide the annoyance in her voice. She was in no mood for anyone to waste her time, especially now that she was thinking of a plan to bring Oliver down.Denver’s smirk grew wider, and he leaned forward slightly.“I know you, Trisha. You’re thinking of

    “You’re out of your mind if you think you still have any hold over him,” she said, her tone condescending. “And to be honest, I’m not afraid of you, or any tactics that you will use in the future.”Seraphine added, now her voice firm and laced with sincerity,“I’m not going to let you destroy what Oliver and I have, and the family we’re starting to build. So you can keep playing your little games, but it won’t work.” Seraphine’s voice was low and intimidating. “It’s over.”There was a brief, tense silence, and then Trisha’s voice was laced with anger. “You’re so naive, Seraphine.” Trisha chuckled sarcastically. “I’ll make sure you regret this. He’ll see the truth soon enough, that there are so many fish in the ocean, and she doesn’t need to stick with you. She added, “And when he does, you won’t even be a memory.”“Fishes?” Seraphine asked and laughed. She didn’t even bother to conceal it. “He’s not looking for fishes because Oliver is not a goddamn fisherman, Trisha. I’m not a fis

    Oliver nodded, understanding the unspoken weight of her words. He knew that she needed more time, and hopefully, this conversation would help her make a decision."Take your time," he said, his voice laced with sincerity. "But I’ll be here."“Thank you,” Seraphine replied, a small smile tugging on her lips as she held the strap of her bag. “That’s it. I’ll take the train back to the capital. I need to go back to Anastasia.”Oliver wanted her to stay, even just for a little bit, so they would be together. But at the same time, he understood her dilemma. Anastasia couldn’t be left alone.‘And if something bad happens to her while we’re not around, I don’t know if Seraphine could still take it,’ Oliver thought.So, he answered, “Alright. Take care, Sera.”Seraphine only nodded in response. Then, she stood up and left the café.Oliver couldn’t help but feel that things were still fragile between them. But now, at least, they were moving in the right direction.He knew that Seraphine still

    “I think I heard enough,” Oliver said, his jaw clenching. “I’ll send you my wife’s email address so you could email her, and maybe talk to her if she insists.”It was only a spare email, so he wouldn’t compromise Seraphine’s identity. And he didn’t know if this technique would be effective either.But he was willing to try everything if that meant gaining Seraphine’s forgiveness and trust again.“I’ll take care of Trisha. Don’t worry. It’s a deal.”Before Carolina could answer, Oliver had already ended the call.He already knows what to do next. With what happened earlier, it was more than enough for Trisha to behave.So, this time, he dialed Trisha’s number.Within a few seconds, she answered, as if she were already expecting this call.“That was too quick,” Trisha said on the other line, her tone smug. “Why? Did Seraphine already call you, tell you that you’re trash, and already break up with you, huh?”Oliver clenched his teeth, wanting to talk back. But he composed himself because

    Oliver was about to speak again, explaining more. But before he could even do that, Seraphine sighed heavily, the sound so weary it nearly broke him."I just… I can’t keep doing this, Oliver,” she muttered, her voice cracking. “I can't keep feeling like I’m going to be blindsided every time you walk out the door.”She added, “I trusted you. God knows I still do. But… I don’t know how to process these things.” Her voice was pained, and it hit Oliver like a physical blow.“Seraphine, please—”“I need time,” Seraphine said quietly, halting Oliver from finishing his sentence. “I need space to think. I don’t know if I can keep trusting you right now.”And before Oliver could explain, Seraphine had ended the call.Oliver stood in the middle of his room, his hand gripping the phone tightly, staring at the empty screen. It felt like the world had just tilted under his feet.For a moment, he didn’t know what to do, or even where to begin to fix this.All he knew was that he couldn’t let it en

  • Chapter 201: Breaking The Bond

    Seraphine’s phone buzzed on the side table, and she barely glanced at it.However, something about the unfamiliar number flashing on the screen made her frown.Curious, she reached for it and unlocked it. Seraphine suddenly forgot how to breathe for a moment upon seeing the picture sent to her.Staring back at her was a picture, and although it was a blurry one, something was unmistakable. Oliver was in the picture with a woman.A woman pressing her lips to his. And it was just not any other woman.It was Trisha.“Shit… What is…” Seraphine trailed off, not even able to finish her sentence as her heart twisted painfully. “What the hell is this…”Her fingers gripped the phone tightly without realizing it, her knuckles whitening.But that wasn’t all. A few seconds later, Seraphine received another message.[You really think he’s loyal to you? Think again, Seraphine. You’re not the only woman in the world.]Seraphine’s mind blanked for a moment.“No…” she whispered aloud, the word falling
