Chapter 250
I looked at Denton, who was disheveled, broken, and nothing like the man I used to know, and a storm of emotions swirled
inside me.
Unsuspicious, I took the glass of wine from him and was just about to take a sip.
But just as the rim of the glass brushed my lips, a flash of intense pain and inner struggle crossed his eyes. In one sudden motion, he raised his hand and slapped the glass from mine.
The sharp sound of shattering glass cut through the lively wedding hall like a blade. Wine and shards sprayed across the floor, drawing gasps and curious stares from the surrounding guests.
I stared at him, completely stunned.”
His whole body was trembling. His bloodshot eyes locked onto mine, filled with regret and anguish. He opened his mouth, trying to speak, but nothing came out.”
He just stood there, staring at me like he was memorizing every inch of my face, as if he wanted to carry my image to the
grave.
Then suddenly, he turned and rán, staggering like a man fleeing from war, disappearing into the night.”
My gaze shifted to the far end of the room, where Melanie stood.”
I knew she wasn’t done yet.”
Prince Alejandro immediately stepped in, wrapping his arm protectively around me and asking in a low, concerned voice, “Are you alright?“”
“I’m fine,” I said softly, nodding. But my eyes never left Melanie. Her plan had failed, but a woman like her would never give up that easily. She was venomous to her core, and she wouldn’t rest until she got what she wanted.”
Later that night, after the wedding ended, Alejandro and I stood on the balcony, letting the cool breeze wash over us.”
“She’s not going to back off,” I said quietly, eyes fixed on the distant horizon.
“What are you planning to do?” he asked, his voice calm and resolute. “Whatever it is, I’ll stand by you.“}
I looked up at him, deeply moved by the unwavering trust in his eyes. He had always been this way, never doubting me, always supporting me without question. He was the steady rock I never thought I’d have.
“I want to cut off all of Melanie’s escape routes,” I said. “Her only source of power is that warlord backing her. If we can destroy him, she’s finished. She’ll be nothing but a drifting weed, no roots, no threat.”
In the days that followed, a silent war broke out halfway across the world.
Prince Alejandro mobilized the full political weight of the Spanish royal family, secretly coordinating with multiple governments. Meanwhile, my family threw everything we had behind the effort, leveraging the vast business network of the Northern Star Trading Group to launch a full–scale economic assault on the Mexican warlord.”
it wasn’t long before the once–feared man crumbled, and in the final hour before dawn, he put a bullet in his own head.
As such, Melanie was left with nothing, reduced to begging on the streets, her former power and pride shattered. Denton, on the other hand, vanished without a trace.”
I sent people to look for him, but they came back with nothing. It was as if he had vanished into thin air.
As sunlight poured through the windows, I finally felt like I could breathe again. The weight on my chest, the grief, the rage, and the guilt had lifted.”
I had avenged Mick. Those who hurt me had paid the price.
It was finally time to start a new chapter of my life.”
Not long after the wedding, Grandma gathered all the core members of our family and made a formal announcement.
“The Fang family needs new leadership,” she said, her voice aged but full of authority. “Starting today, Sadie will inherit everything under the Northern Star Trading Group. She’s now the new head of the family.”
And just like that, everything had come full circle.
