The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)

Chapter 1292

Skyler tried to reason with him, his voice tinged with the earnestness he'd picked up from Aurelia, [You're biting off more than you

can chew. It's not too late to turn back. There's no shin throwing in the towel.]

He genuinely hoped Geoffrey would see sense, that he wouldn't let his obsessions conshim. But Geoffrey knew too well that

Leopold wouldn't let him off the hook. If he lost, he faced either a death sentence or life behind bars, and neither option appealed

to him.

[Skyler, if I'm going down, you're coming with me. How about it? It'll be less lonely foron the other side if I've got you there. It's

no fun taking the final bow solo.]

Skyler was speechless.

[Get lost,] Skyler shot back, [I'm living my life just fine. You're the one who messed up, not me. And for the record, we're not even

twins. You're just a con artist.]

Geoffrey's fists clenched, a blaze of fury igniting in his eyes.

They weren't twins, and all the suffering had fallen on him. Meanwhile, Skyler lived a carefree and comfortable life. How was that

fair? It was downright unjust.

[Do you think you'd have this cushy life if | hadn't taken the fall for you? If it weren't for me, you'd be the one sitting in my shoes.

Do you have any idea what it's like to endure relentless training, without a minute to yourself?]

Skyler fell silent. Geoffrey's twisted soul, and his monstrous ways, were not the product of a warped upbringing?

The real villain was Tanya, the one who'd shaped Geoffrey into a killing machine.

A child was born a blank slate unless they carry the demon gene, the XYY supermale. Those with the supermale syndroften

struggle with low intellect, a volatile temper, and impulsive behavior. But Geoffrey didn't fit that bill, his IQ was high, and his

demeanor dark and icy.

[Geoffrey, | get it. You never felt loved growing up. Tanya messed up big twith you. But you're still young. You can start over.

Leopold's a decent guy, and we're all family. He'll go easy on you. | promise he won't kill you or throw you in jail. Just stop this

madness, okay? Can't you just live a good life from now on?]

Geoffrey let out a scoff, his gaze growing shadowy as though shrouded by darkness.

[There's no turning back once the arrow's been released. You're askingto retreat now? That's a joke, right? You're so naive,

Skyler. Betweenand Leopold, you can only pick one. It's either his end or mine.]

[Why do we have to fight like this? We're all family. It's not like we're vying for a crown. Why are you so hell-bent on taking the

reins?" Skyler couldn't understand. It seemed to him that Geoffrey had been thoroughly brainwashed by Tanya, who had filled his

head with hatred and twisted thoughts, transforming him into a dark lord.

Geoffrey's heart knew neither love nor affection.

What was love? What was affection? He had never experienced them. His life was devoid of maternal warmth, sibling bonds, or

romance. His mind was consumed with vengeance and bloodshed.

[Idiot, what do you know?" Geoffrey spat out, "It's every man for himself in this world. If we're not born of the smother, we're

not brothers, just rivals. If he truly sawas his family, he'd step aside and letlead. Only when | take over the Stirling family

will this fight end.]
