Chapter 271 Alyssa’s hands trembled as she walked away from her cousin. She could still feel the weight of Alexander’s harsh words echoing in her mind, and the fear of him truly cutting ties with her left her shaken. “What on earth did Carla say to him?” she whispered to

Chapter 270 Alexander’s frown deepened as Carla’s grip tightened on his arm. He couldn’t believe how things had turned from a simple, friendly request by Alyssa to this confrontation. Carla’s voice was raw, her frustration spilling out with every word. “Let go, Carla,” he said firmly, brushing her hand off

Chapter 269 Carla glanced around, ensuring they weren’t being overheard, then pulled Alyssa aside to a quieter corner where fewer guests were gathered. “I found out something about Rain Clayton,” she whispered, her eyes darting nervously. “I don’t know how to tell Alexander p> Alyssa frowned, sensing the weight in

Chapter 268 “I didn’t know there was a celebration at the main villa today. I came to pick up the keys to Cartier Villa from Mario,” Carla explained with a smile. Rain’s heart skipped a beat, but she reminded herself to stay confident. She knew what she and Alexander shared

Chapter 267 Days passed, and Rain kept herself occupied with work, her mind consumed by the daily grind. She hadn’t attended Dina’s funeral, as William had assured her father, the Lancaster family had handled everything discreetly.

Chapter 265 William’s face flushed. “How long have you been standing there? I thought you were inside p> Sanya chuckled, moving past him to open her door. “Long enough to catch your little rehearsal. Come in p> With a soft smile, she entered her bedroom, and he followed, closing the

Chapter 264 At the morgue, Alexander stared at the unrecognizable bodies the police had recovered from the burned ship.

Alexander’s expression darkened with a simmering anger

Chapter 263 As soon as his kids left, Rock visited Alexa’s grave with Ben. “Aren’t my sons remarkable?” he commented as they stepped out of the car. “They really are,” Ben replied honestly. “I knew they’d find their way, and I’m glad they did p> Rock took a deep breath,

Chapter 262 Alexander took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the water as he seemed to gather his thoughts. “I almost lost you today, Rain,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. “I kept thinking… what if I hadn’t reached you in time? I’ve never felt fear like

Chapter 261 Sylvia’s hands shook as she pointed an accusing finger at Rain and Sanya, her voice rising into an anguished scream. “My Dina would never… she was innocent! You’re the reason she’s gone, you twisted everything against her!” Her grief was like a storm, and the raw anger in

Chapter 260 Alexander’s face twisted with rage as he saw Rain being carried off. This was exactly why he hadn’t wanted her to come, but she had insisted on being there. Now, his worst fear was unfolding before him. Without a second thought, he threw a powerful kick at the

Chapter 259 Sanya felt her world collapsing as she struggled desperately against the men holding her. She was hysterical, thrashing with all her strength, but it was no use… she was utterly helpless. As they kept mentioning Rain’s name, her mind pieced it together: her abduction was connected to Rain.

Chapter 258 When they arrived at the last known location from Sanya’s tracker, William’s men were already scouring the old warehouse, scanning every corner. Rain’s heart pounded, almost loud enough to drown out the sounds around her, and she felt her face go pale as beads of sweat formed on

Chapter 257 Dina smiled with satisfaction, watching Sanya lying unconscious on the floor. Michael had been generous enough to supply her with the men she needed to pull off the abduction. She hadn’t been able to get to Rain directly, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t hurt someone close to

Chapter 256 Sanya woke up a bit later than usual and was pleasantly surprised to find a small note from William stuck to her mobile phone on the bedside table. “I made you a sandwich. Just heat it up. I didn’t wake you so you could rest more. I’ll be

Chapter 254 As Alexander had predicted, William arrived early in the morning. “What happened to you? Did you cry all night?” Father Rock asked as William joined them for breakfast. “I did,” William replied bluntly. “And it’s because of you, Dad! How could you not tell me and Alexander about

Chapter 253 At Lancaster Ancestral Mansion Sanya couldn’t believe what she was doing. William was in her arms, and she was gently soothing him to sleep. He’d been crying, stopping only to start again, waves of emotion refusing to ebb. “I’m sorry. I don’t think you’ll be able to sleep
