Chapter 94: Confrontation and Betrayal

Chapter 94: Confrontation and Betrayal

(Nathan Sterling’s POV)

I wiped the blood from my mouth, tasting copper on my tongue. The force of Marcus’s punch had caught me completely off guard.

“What are you trying to do, Marcus?” I demanded, struggling to my feet.

Marcus stood over me, his golden eyes blazing with fury. His tie was loosened, and a button on his shirt had come undone during our scuffle.

“Don’t play dumb with me, Sterling,” he snarled. “I know you’re holding Heidi Cross. You’ve been deliberately making it difficult to find her.”

My blood ran cold, How had he discovered that?

Elena stepped between us, her face pale with shock. “Stop this violence, Marcus! What’s wrong with you?

Marcus turned to her, his expression dark. “Do you feel sorry for Nathan Sterling?”

“I just don’t understand why you’re hitting him,” Elena replied, confusion evident in her voice.

I hesitated, knowing I was trapped “Elena, I can explain later-”

“There’s no need for explanations, Marcus cut me off sharply. “Your delay in releasing Heidi Cross shows you never intended to help David Blackthorne.”

(Elena’s POV)

My face went pale as the implications hit me. I turned to Nathan, searching his amber eyes for denial.

“Is this matter also related to you?” I whispered, my voice barely audible.

Nathan’s expression crumbled. “Elena, I can explain-”

“No!” I backed away from both of them, my chest heaving. “I trusted you! I thought you were helping us!”

The betrayal cut deeper than any physical wound. First Marcus, then Sophia, and now Nathan. Everyone I had

trusted had been manipulating me.

“I

I don’t trust anyone anymore!” I declared, tears streaming down my face. “Stay away from me!”

I turned and ran, ignoring their calls behind me. I needed to get away from both of them, from all the lies and
