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

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.”
