Chapter 95
“Dead?” Sophia froze, her breath catching for a moment.
“Yeah. Dead.”
Julian let go of her shoulders, his hand falling to his side, fingers trembling slightly as his voice turned serious.
“Since the whole world already thinks you’re gone… let them
believe it.”
Sophia’s eyes widened as she grabbed his hand, panic creeping into her voice.
“But what about my shares in Zenith? And Grandma… Bella… Stella… what about them?”
“Hey, hey. Calm down.” Julian turned his hand over, clasping hers gently, giving her a reassuring smile.
“I’ll give you a new name, a new identity. A whole new life. You can trust me. Whatever you want to do, whoever you want to be…”
His voice dropped lower, almost a whisper.
“Even if you want to hurt someone… trust me. I’ll take care of everything. No one will ever know.”

Sophia’s heart tightened, her lips trembling. Before she could say anything, Julian cut her off softly.
“Do you really think I’d lie to you?”
His expression hardened, more intense now.
“I don’t make promises lightly. But if I give you my word, I mean
“Don’t!”
Startled by his words, Sophia quickly covered his mouth.
“Don’t say stuff like that. It’s bad luck.”
Her voice softened, almost pleading.
“I know you’ve never lied to me. So you have to live a long life, okay? Otherwise… who’s going to take care of me?”
Her warm palm pressed gently against Julian’s lips.
The touch sent a jolt through him, sparking straight to his chest.
It took him a moment before he finally reached up and gently pulled her hand away.

And if something really did happen to him because of her bad luck…
She wouldn’t be able to live with the guilt.
When she stayed silent for a long moment, Julian lowered his gaze, studying her.
Her usually bright eyes were now shadowed with worry, her expression troubled.
A flicker of satisfaction crossed his features.
He quickly softened his tone, coaxing her, “Alright, alright. I won’t joke like that anymore.”
Hearing that, Sophia finally let out a slow breath.
“When I was a kid, Damian locked me in a wardrobe… I almost suffocated. You were the one who saved me.
“And later, when I was older, he abandoned me in that factory… I almost burned to death. You saved me again. I owe you so much… I don’t even know how to repay you.”
Julian caught the faint crease between her brows and couldn’t resist teasing her.

“How about this-since I basically saved your life, why not just give yourself to me?”
Sophia froze, staring at him with wide eyes, completely stunned.
“Alright, alright, I’m kidding.” His playful expression faded, replaced by a more serious look as his gaze locked onto hers.
“Sophia, think about it. If you go back with a new identity… and you’re still single, with how crazy Damian is… do you really think he’ll leave you alone?”
He reached up and gently brushed her cheek, his voice steady.
“More likely, before you even figure out how to deal with him, he’ll come after you again. And finding someone else won’t help
either.
“In New York, no one can stand up to him. You know what he’s like-he’s always done whatever he wants since he was a kid.
“Going back like that… it’s pointless. Even with a new identity, you’ll just end up trapped in the same cycle. But I’m different.”
Julian leaned closer, his voice low near her ear, coaxing and persuasive.
“If you stay by my side… as my fiancée… he won’t dare touch 594 I’m his uncle. We share the Hall family blood. That alone is
