Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Chasing Light, Finding Peace** - by Rohan Verma **Chapter 66** There was no way he could bring himself to accept it. Oliver Lopez felt the tightening grip of isolation as he stepped down from his role as president of the Lopez Group.

The once vibrant circle of friends he had cultivated began to dwindle, leaving him feeling adrift in a sea of uncertainty. That sensation of freefall was precisely why he had acquiesced to his wife's suggestion for a getaway-a chance to escape the suffocating reality of his new life. He might not have been the brightest star in the firmament, but Oliver had once basked in the glow of success and high status. Now, forced into an early retirement before he even reached sixty, he wandered through life without purpose, watching as others soared to new heights.

The stark contrast of their ascents filled him with a bitter, gnawing resentment that clung to him like a shadow. It wasn't the first time the thought had crossed his mind-asking Autumn to relinquish control of the Lopez Group back to him. After all, it was his company, built from the ground up with his own hands. The notion that he could reclaim it whenever he wished felt almost instinctual. Even if Autumn was his daughter, he felt entitled to assert his claim. Yet, over the years, Autumn had devoted herself entirely to the Cloudbreak Corporation, neglecting the Lopez Group.

Watching the company struggle to stay afloat filled Oliver with a deep-rooted fear. He hesitated to ask for it back, knowing that if he took the reins, the Lopez Group might not even manage to continue its faltering existence. That ambition, once a roaring fire within him, had dimmed over time. But his wife's words had ignited a spark, rekindling the embers of his ambition into a fierce blaze. The Mistveil Group was a legacy conglomerate-having a partner like that could propel the Lopez Group to heights he had only dreamed of! "But I've already transferred the company to Autumn.

You really think she'll just hand it back to me if I ask?" He sighed, frustration lacing his voice. Giving something away was simple; reclaiming it was an entirely different matter. Oliver understood this all too well, which is why the thought had remained just that-a thought. Deep down, he felt a flicker of fear. Could he truly confront his own daughter for the company? The idea of losing that battle filled him with dread, leaving him vulnerable to humiliation. "This isn't about her happiness. Look at her-her baby bump is already starting to show.

Shouldn't her main focus be on her pregnancy and preparing to give Mars his first son?" "A woman's most important role is to ensure her husband's family continues. Autumn took years to conceive after marriage, and now that there's finally good news, the right thing for her to do is step aside and center her attention on the baby," he reasoned, his voice growing more animated with each word. "Besides, we're family. What's the difference between her running the company and you taking the reins?

You're her father; you wouldn't harm her, would you?" "That's it!" Oliver exclaimed, clapping his hands together with a chuckle. "Why didn't I think of that sooner?" The more he mulled over it, the more brilliant his wife's perspective appeared. "Autumn's probably holding some resentment toward me right now. It wouldn't be fair for me to bring it up myself." Mrs. Lopez immediately grasped his implication. "I'll speak to Autumn," she declared with determination. "This is merely a gesture of your concern, as her father.

I'm certain she'll comprehend." Oliver offered a tired smile, though it was laced with trepidation. "I don't need her to understand. I just need her to be reasonable and refrain from venting her frustrations in that group chat." Mrs. Lopez gently patted the back of his hand, offering reassurance. The very thought of reclaiming his position as president of the Lopez Group straightened Oliver's posture, instilling a newfound confidence within him. "You've stood by my side for so long, and aside from our marriage, we haven't done anything noteworthy.

When I'm back in charge of the Lopez Group, I'll host a grand banquet in the company's honor. I'll take you as my date and ensure everyone knows you're the esteemed wife of the president of the Lopez Group." "Those people in the group chat were spouting nonsense, but they did have one point." "A girl as extraordinary as our Lydia shouldn't be putting all her hopes on just one man. It could tarnish her reputation. We need to start searching for a suitable match for Lydia.

Grand City is teeming with eligible bachelors; surely, there's someone worthy of our girl." "I also heard that the president of the Bennett Group has been quite active lately. If Lydia could marry him, we'd never have to worry about her future again." "Just think-the Lopez Group could skyrocket with a connection to the Bennett Group." Mrs. Lopez's eyes sparkled with excitement. Owen Bennett was a man who wielded immense power over the city's economy.

If her daughter could marry someone of that caliber-transforming Autumn into a woman of unparalleled status-then what was Mars Wright in comparison? No matter how well Cloudbreak Corporation had performed in recent years, it paled in comparison to the legacy of the Bennetts! Best of all, her daughter had Mars completely enchanted. She could marry into a prestigious family while keeping a devoted admirer ready to champion her causes. Her daughter would become the most successful heiress of all time!

Hadn't she spent Lydia's entire life preparing her for this moment, teaching her everything she knew? Wasn't this the culmination of all her efforts? "You're absolutely right," Mrs. Lopez affirmed. "And this entire situation has nothing to do with our Lydia." "Mars is merely being kind to her, as family. How could our Lydia possibly refuse such generosity? They're all family, after all." "Exactly," Oliver agreed. "Autumn is being overly petty!" "She's always been that way since childhood, needing to prove herself.

If she hadn't been so relentless in her pursuit of excellence, our Lydia wouldn't have grown up grappling with such low self-esteem." Mrs. Lopez's expression flickered with a hint of guilt. Even she felt a pang of remorse at that revelation. Autumn had been treated like an outsider in her own home. If she hadn't showcased her strengths, she wouldn't have even been acknowledged by this family. What Mrs. Lopez viewed as a clever survival instinct in young Autumn, her father saw as nothing more than a desperate plea for attention. A mix of triumph and anxiety swirled within Mrs. Lopez's heart.

If Oliver could be so callous toward his own flesh and blood, how would he treat her and Lydia if he ever discovered their true intentions? No, I must start devising plans for myself and my daughter without delay. Placing your hopes in someone else is the most foolish gamble one can make. I need to carve out time for a serious conversation with Lydia. After bestowing several significant cash gifts in the group chat, Autumn had muted it. She recognized this wasn't the conclusion but merely the beginning of a new chapter. Yet, she felt no regret.

In the past, she had been a doormat, allowing Lydia's family to trample all over her. Now, she possessed the capital to stand tall against the Lopez family and Mars Wright. She would no longer tolerate their treatment. As Autumn caressed her phone screen, Owen Bennett's face suddenly surfaced in her mind. If it hadn't been for Owen's unwavering support and encouragement, she would never have found the courage to take such a bold step. A wave of frustration washed over her. It feels like I owe Owen more and more, and I have no idea how I'll ever repay him.

As she grappled with her tangled thoughts, her phone vibrated, sending her heart racing. She snatched it up, only to feel a pang of disappointment when she saw Mars Wright's name flashing on the caller ID. A feeling she couldn't quite articulate settled heavily in her chest. So, she made the decision to ignore it. Pressing her lips together, Autumn silenced the call, resolute in her choice. You didn't need to be a genius to understand that Mars had probably heard about the group chat and was calling to confront her.

If she answered now, she would only be subjected to his unfiltered accusations and anger. She had no time for such games. Her energy was better spent meeting with her company's team. Following Owen's advice, Autumn had swiftly moved to establish her own company. With the paperwork finalized, she planned to design the logo herself. After all, this was the first venture in her life that was truly, completely, and unequivocally hers. Conclusion In the aftermath of the turmoil, both Oliver and Autumn find themselves at a crossroads, their emotional arcs intertwined yet distinctly separate.

Oliver's journey, marked by the struggle to reclaim his former status and the realization of familial bonds, has ignited a flicker of ambition he thought long extinguished. As he contemplates the implications of his decisions, he is confronted with the weight of his past actions and the need to balance his desires with the well-being of his daughter. The prospect of leading the Lopez Group again fills him with a renewed sense of purpose, yet the underlying fear of alienating Autumn looms large, forcing him to reconsider what legacy truly means in the context of family.

On the other hand, Autumn's evolution from a passive participant in her family's narrative to an empowered individual carving her own path is a testament to her resilience. As she embraces her newfound independence, the support of Owen Bennett becomes a crucial lifeline, guiding her toward the establishment of her own identity beyond the shadows of her family's expectations. Ignoring Mars's call symbolizes her refusal to revert to old dynamics that no longer serve her. Instead, Autumn chooses to focus on her aspirations, determined to build a legacy that is authentically hers.

The stakes are higher than ever, not just for him but for the entire family dynamic. With Mrs. Lopez's encouragement, Oliver's ambitions are reignited, yet the question remains: how far will he go to secure his position, and at what cost to his relationship with Autumn? Expect a clash of wills as the two grapple with their conflicting desires, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation that could alter the course of their lives. Meanwhile, Autumn is on her own path of self-discovery and empowerment.

As she embraces her newfound independence, she must navigate the complexities of her family's expectations while staying true to herself.
