Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Chasing Light, Finding Peace** - by Rohan Verma Mars Wright's expression was a tempest of fury. His face, usually so composed, now radiated a vibrant shade of anger that seemed to pulse in the dim light of the VIP room. In a fit of rage, he delivered a sharp kick to the table before him, sending the empty bottles teetering precariously before crashing to the floor.
The sound shattered the stillness, reverberating through the plush confines of the room like a gunshot. The sudden noise jolted Lydia Lopez from her simmering thoughts, and she erupted, her voice rising to a piercing pitch. "Mars Wright, are you seriously lying to me? I heard those bottles! Are you out there partying?" "Do you even possess a heart? How could you betray me like this?" All of Lydia's pent-up frustrations spilled forth in a torrent, her voice rising to a fever pitch. "I knew it! I knew there had to be a reason for your sudden coldness towards me.
You've been pouring all your money into those... those girls at the club!" "How can you be so selfish?" "What did you promise me back then? You said that besides Autumn Lopez, I was the only one who mattered to you. Are all your vows just empty words now?" The atmosphere in the room had grown thick with tension, almost suffocating. It felt as if time had stopped after Mars's explosive outburst. The murmurs of his friends, who had been engaged in low conversations, faded into a thick silence, leaving only the echo of Lydia's voice hanging in the air.
Her tone, sharp and accusatory, grated against the ears of those present, amplifying the discomfort that had settled over the room like a heavy fog. Mars could feel the weight of their curious stares, and a wave of embarrassment washed over him. What if they discovered that he was so easily manipulated by Lydia? What would remain of his reputation as a powerful CEO? "Lydia! This is absurd!" he barked, his voice laced with irritation. If she had any sense, she would have stopped while she was ahead. But now, she was spiraling into irrationality.
As if the universe conspired against him, at that very moment, the hostesses his friends had ordered earlier made their entrance. Blissfully unaware of the turmoil brewing inside, they sauntered in, their voices sweetened with a syrupy cheerfulness. The moment Lydia heard their synchronized greeting of "Hello, boys," a wave of humiliation washed over her. She wished she could somehow merge with the phone, like a character from a horror film, and escape Mars's reality. "You ordered girls, too?" Lydia was on the brink of an explosion, her fury barely contained.
Without waiting for Mars to respond, she slammed the phone down, the click resonating like a gunshot in the silence that followed. Mars had been prepared to explain himself, but now he was met with the cold finality of a dead line. Silence enveloped the room, and everyone exchanged glances, unsure of what to say next. One of his more oblivious friends, sensing the tension, hesitantly broke the silence. "Mars, it sounds like your girl is really upset. Maybe we should just call it a night?" Originally, that was Mars's intention.

After all, he still harbored feelings for Lydia, despite her spoiled nature. She had been pampered by the Lopez family, and her fiery spirit was both her strength and her weakness. If he allowed her to create a scene, it would spiral into endless complications. Yet, with his friend's suggestion hanging in the air, he realized that asking everyone to leave would make him appear cowardly, as if he were afraid of Lydia's wrath. The CEO of Cloudbreak Corporation, terrified of his own mistress? It was laughable. "No need!" Mars waved his hand dismissively, frustration bubbling beneath the surface.
"It's because I spoil her too much! You have to keep women in check; otherwise, they'll walk all over you." "It's fine. Everyone, just keep drinking. Enjoy yourselves, have fun." He pinched the bridge of his nose, crafting a convenient excuse for himself. "The alcohol is hitting me hard. I think I need to step into the restroom and splash some water on my face." His friends exchanged knowing glances but chose to remain silent, chuckling lightly. "Take it easy, Mars. Let us know if you need anything." With a forced smile plastered on his face, Mars stumbled into the restroom.
As soon as the door clicked shut behind him, the smile faded, leaving his face a mask of tension. He clenched his jaw and pulled out his phone, determined to reach Lydia. She had hung up on him repeatedly, and a nameless rage began to simmer within him. With a flurry of frustration, he began typing furiously, sending Lydia a barrage of texts. [Don't do anything reckless! I genuinely don't know what's happening. Just let me handle this, and I'll explain everything when I return!] [Lydia, know your boundaries. Don't create a scene that puts everyone in an awkward position.
Do you really want to expose our relationship to your sister?] [Stop it. I'm with clients. I promise I'll clarify everything when this is over.] He sent several messages, but they vanished into the void, met with a deafening silence. Mars felt his frustration escalating. A wave of powerlessness washed over him. For a brief moment, he regretted ever becoming involved with Lydia. He had always been aware of her impulsive, selfish, and spoiled nature. He should never have given her so much freedom. Autumn always knew how to safeguard his public image.
Lydia, on the other hand, was just so ungrateful! Fearing that Lydia might actually storm in and create a scene-an absolute catastrophe-Mars hesitated to reemerge. All he could do was continue bombarding her with messages. As his texts continued to disappear unanswered, his patience finally snapped. If Lydia dared to show up and cause a ruckus, he would not back down this time. He had to assert his dominance. Meanwhile, Autumn Lopez was in the middle of organizing her office when her phone buzzed unexpectedly. Unlocking it, she saw a message from Owen Bennett.
A slight tremor ran through her fingers. Ever since their dinner at The Gourmet Kitchen, an awkward tension lingered between them. Owen, however, acted as though nothing had changed. He even had someone bring her a glass of milk when she returned home that night, maintaining an air of normalcy during breakfast the next day. Sometimes, Autumn found herself admiring Owen. His emotional stability seemed to add an extra layer of charm to his already captivating persona. Curiously, she opened the message and read a single line from him: [Wanna see some drama?] Drama?
Autumn raised an eyebrow, intrigued. Was Owen really such a gossip? If even he was interested in some drama, how had she not heard about it yet? She quickly scoured local news, searching for any noteworthy events. Finding nothing of interest, Autumn decided to directly inquire. [Is there any drama happening right now?] Owen responded with a screenshot from a security camera. It was followed by a voice message. "Want to go see?" Just those four words sent a shiver down her spine, awakening a flutter of excitement within her. This man... he was exceptional in every regard.
No wonder he was considered the ultimate eligible bachelor by everyone around him. Autumn had heard whispers about countless celebrities in the entertainment industry vying for his attention, all eager to capture his interest. She casually tapped the photo, zooming in for a better view, her eyes widening in surprise. Suppressing the strange flutter in her heart, she scratched behind her ear and replied with a voice message. "You're interested in their drama?" The security footage revealed Mars, surrounded by his friends, making his way into a VIP room.
The screen split to show Lydia storming through the club's entrance, her expression a mix of determination and fury. With that kind of energy, it was evident she was on a mission to confront a cheater. Autumn couldn't help but let out a cynical laugh. While she questioned Lydia's right to confront Mars, she was undeniably intrigued by the unfolding spectacle. It would be best if they engaged in an all-out brawl, leaving each other bruised and battered. Only then would the knot of frustration in her chest begin to untangle.
"Do you want to go see?" Owen prompted again, his question hanging in the air. Without much hesitation, Autumn agreed. Owen's response was immediate. [Come downstairs. I'm outside your office. I'll take you to the show.] Conclusion In the aftermath of the explosive confrontation, both Mars and Lydia found themselves grappling with the weight of their emotions. Mars, once a powerful CEO, now felt vulnerable and exposed, his carefully crafted facade crumbling under the pressure of Lydia's accusations.
The realization that he had let his relationship spiral into chaos ignited a flicker of regret within him. Meanwhile, Lydia, fueled by a mix of anger and hurt, stood at a crossroads, torn between her fiery passion for Mars and the betrayal she felt. Their tumultuous exchange had stripped away the layers of pretense, revealing the raw truth of their connection-a bond fraught with both love and resentment. As the echoes of their heated words lingered in the air, it became clear that the path ahead would demand introspection and growth for both of them.
On the other side of the club, Autumn and Owen watched the unfolding drama with a mix of intrigue and amusement. While Autumn felt a pang of sympathy for Lydia, she couldn't help but be drawn to the spectacle, the thrill of witnessing a relationship unraveling before her eyes. In that moment, she realized that the complexities of love and betrayal were universal, transcending her own experiences. As she and Owen prepared to step into the fray, the anticipation of what lay ahead ignited a spark of excitement within her.
With Lydia determined to confront Mars about his perceived betrayal, the stakes will be higher than ever. As she storms into the VIP room, the atmosphere will crackle with raw emotion, and the confrontation promises to expose deep-seated insecurities and unresolved feelings. Will Mars be able to maintain his composure and salvage his reputation, or will Lydia's fiery spirit ignite a confrontation that could change everything? Meanwhile, Autumn's curiosity about the unfolding drama will lead her to make a pivotal choice.
