Staring at the marriage certificate in front of her, Skyler hadn’t yet escaped the grips of her own terror when she heard Zavier’s
words, “Just keep me happy, and I might just help the Blue family rise again.”
Skyler couldn’t care less about the fate of the Blue family; she wished for nothing more than their downfall. It was her sister Iris
who mattered to her the most. “What about my sister? She must have tried to get in touch with me. If she couldn’t reach me, she
must be worried.”
“Dead,” Zavier said bluntly.
Skyler’s heart seemed to stop for a second. “What did you say?”
Zavier let out a small chuckle, leaning close to whisper in her ear, “I said, your precious little sister is dead.”
“You’re lying!” Skyler blurted out.d2
“Sent by your precious Blue family to please some high roller. They played too rough, ended up killing her,” Zavier said with a
tone of mock regret.

In that instant, Skyler felt as if she could hear the sound of her heart shattering. Drained of all strength, she collapsed to the floor,
wanting to ask more but finding herself voiceless. She feared hearing even more brutal truths, knowing full well her own family
was capable of such inhumanity.
In a hazy daze, Skyler faintly heard Zavier’s voice tinged with a rare urgency, “Skyler, I’m taking you to the hospital now. You
better hang on for dear life, cause if I haven’t given you permission to die, you better not even think about it. If you die, I’ll bring
down the entire Blue family.”
Whatever else he said was lost to her; she didn’t care to listen, as a buzzing noise filled her ears.
When she came to, Skyler was lying in a hospital bed, a TV hanging on the wall across from her. She immediately turned it on,
catching a news flash.
Nora was being arrested on suspicion of murder. Could Nora have something to do with the deaths of Zavier’s brother and
father?
Before Skyler could see more, the door opened. Thinking it was Zavier, she quickly turned off the TV in fright, but to her surprise,
it was Marissa, Zavier’s caretaker. “Ms. Skyler, I made you your favorite soup. Come on, have some.”.

Skyler shook her head weakly, “I’m not hungry.”

“You’ve been out for days, surviving on IV drips. You need to eat something.” Marissa set down her thermos and cranked the bed
upright. “Silly child, just a month, and how much weight you’ve lost...”
Seeing Skyler’s gaunt appearance, Marissa’s eyes welled up with tears. “You don’t need to worry about the Blue family with
Zavier around.”
It seemed Marissa was unaware of the truth, and Skyler had no intention of enlightening her. Taking the soup bowl, she sipped a
little, then casually inquired, “Marissa, about Nora...”
The mention of that name set Marissa off into a tirade, “That Nora, no good, after all the kindness Mr. and Mrs. had shown her,
who would have thought she’d stab the family in the back.
Thank goodness for Zavier, he’s so capable. Not only did he seize control of Rivera Inc., but he also exposed that murderer.”
From Marissa’s lips, Skyler pieced together the events that had unfolded during her captivity: Zavier swiftly seized control of
Rivera Inc.. Subsequently, he exposed the culprit responsible for the tragic deaths of his father and brother.
Marissa was usually reserved, but now she couldn’t stop talking about it, only pausing when she heard Zavier’s cough.
Both women were startled. Marissa recovered first, “Oh, Zavier, you’re here. I should get going.”
Once Marissa left, Skyler lost all appetite, not wanting another sip of soup. As she went to cover the bowl, Zavier’s voice cut
through the silence, “Finish that soup.”
His voice was cold and deep, making Skyler shiver with fear.
“You wanted to marry me, have my children, and help the Blue family rise from the ashes. I’ve given you all that,” Zavier moved
closer, lifting her chin to look into her eyes. “From now on, your life is mine. Get better, so you’re ready whenever I need you.”
