Chapter 1750
But deep down, she clung to a sliver of hope, hoping there was another path she could take. For more than two
years, she had been engaged to Zavier, and for at least that long, he had treated her with kindness and respect.
Zavier was the one who made her believe not everyone in the world was out to get her, that there was someone
willing to cherish and respect her.
He would often reassure her, “Scaredy-cat, from now on, I’ve got your back. You don’t need to fear anything. Just
focus on your music. You’ve got talent, and I believe you’ll make it big.”

threaten you again.”
And he had once teased, “I must be out of my mind to fall for a scaredy-cat like you.”
He said he loved her. He said he wanted to marry her. They had agreed that a little over a year from now, once she
graduated from college, they would go and get their marriage license. Everything was moving according to plan, so
how had it turned out like this?
Ironically, it was her most despised, the Blue family, who had brought her to Zavier’s side. And it was again the Blue
family that forced her to leave him.e2
Hudson insisted, “Skyler, if you truly love Zavier and wish him well, then you should stand
on the same side as me.”
Skyler let out the frustration that had been building inside her before replying slowly, “Of course, I truly like Zavier,
and of course, I wish the best for him, but I don’t think your approach is what’s best for Zavier.”
Hudson’s expression darkened, “Then tell me, what would be best for Zavier? Indulge him in sensual pleasures? To
see him defeated in this competitive battle? Do you understand what he’ll have to face if he fails?”
Skyler knew, but how she wished she didn’t. Then she could rebel just this once.
Hudson, sensing her inner turmoil, continued to persuade her, “Skyler, Zavier’s father and brother are gone. He
must finish what they started. He can’t afford a single misstep before he takes over Rivera Inc. If he still holds you
in his heart and wants to bring you back when all this is over, then no one will be able to stop you from becoming

At these words, Skyler chuckled, “You know Zavier’s temperament better than I do.”
Skyler understood everything, yet for the sake of her sister and what Hudson claimed was best for Zavier, she was
coerced into playing Hudson’s game with Zavier.
The Capital was frigid, and so was Skyler’s heart, yet Zavier’s touch was scorching.
That night, it felt like she had walked through the gates of hell and back. She knew Zavier was furious, yet she still
managed to utter a sentence that pierced his heart as they lay together.
