Chapter: Chapter - 206Chapter - 206The Rutherford breakfast table was a minefield of unspoken tension.George sat at the head, hidden behind his newspaper, but Alex could feel his father's eyes peering over the top, sharp and analytical. Martha, oblivious, hummed as she poured juice, her mood still light from Audrey's visit.And Damien... Damien was a ghost.He startled when Alex passed him the salt. He kept his eyes glued to his plate. When Martha asked him a question, he answered in monosyllables. The easy, taunting banter that had defined the brothers' relationship was gone, replaced by a suffocating, fearful silence.Alex, acting as the pillar of normalcy, ate his toast calmly. He knew he had broken his brother. The fear radiating from Damien was a tool, a new, sharp-edged piece of leverage."Damien," George said, his voice mild from behind the paper. "You look terrible. That Indian food must have been truly... aggressive."Damien flinched. "Yeah, Dad. It... it was.""You, on the other hand, Al

Chapter: Chapter - 205Chapter - 205Damien didn't say another word. He followed Alex into the house, the "thump-thump-thump" of his own heart deafening in the silent entryway.Alex, by contrast, seemed perfectly relaxed. He toed off his shoes, dropped his keys in the bowl by the door, and stretched, his back letting out a small pop. He was acting as if they’d just returned from a boring movie. He headed to the kitchen.Damien watched, frozen, as Alex opened the refrigerator, pulled out a bottle of water, and drank half of it in one long, unhurried gulp.The sheer, terrifying normalcy of it broke Damien’s paralysis."How?" Damien’s voice was a croak.Alex set the bottle on the counter. "How what?""How... that! Jaleel. Those guys. You... you’re not... what are you, Alex?" Damien’s hands were shaking so badly he had to clench them into fists. "You're not a student. You're not some naive kid."Alex turned to face him fully. The kitchen light was dim, casting half of his face in shadow. His eyes were no longer

Chapter: Fight BackChapter - 204The goon who had insulted their mother let out a guttural laugh, oblivious to the storm he had unleashed. "What's wrong, little pussy? Did I hurt your feelings? Gonna go cry to—"He never finished the sentence.Alex moved with a speed that seemed to defy the alcohol in his system. It wasn't a wild, drunken swing; it was a precise, brutal strike. His left hand shot out, grabbing the man’s jaw, yanking him forward off-balance. Simultaneously, Alex’s forehead connected with the bridge of the man's nose.CRUNCH.The sound of breaking bone echoed in the narrow alley, sharp and wet. The goon’s eyes rolled back as Alex, still holding his head, drove a knee into his solar plexus. The man collapsed in a heap, unconscious before he hit the pavement.One.Damien froze, his plea of "Dude... No..." dying in his throat. His brain couldn't process what he had just seen.The remaining four goons and the "Big Man" stared in disbelief. The "scared little pussy" had just dismantled their f

Chapter: Never let anyone disrespect your motherChapter - 203 As Alex and Damien cautiously followed the big man into the dimly lit alleyway, a sense of unease settled deep in their guts. The flickering lights cast eerie shadows, making the whole place feel like a freaking horror movie. The big man, looking like a giant beast, led them further into the narrow space. "Alright, cough it up, you little prying rats. What the hell do you think you're doing, snooping around in other people's business?" The big man roared at them, his voice booming with aggression. "Who sent you? Dogs of Hell?" Damien furrowed his brow in frustration. "Dogs of Hell? Who in the hell are they?" he retorted. "Look, man, like we said earlier, we are not here to cause any trouble. We're sorry if we crossed a line." Alex interrupted, trying to lighten the tension. "Dogs of Hell? That's a funny name," he remarked with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Wait... If you think about it, it's actually cool... Dogs Of Hell." The big man ignored Alex's attempt at hu

Chapter: Audrey sandwiched between Alex and DamienChapter - 202"Dude, this is messed up. I can't believe we're actually doing this. Stalking her? Seriously? If we are caught, we won't get out of it easily," Alex and Damien rode Alex's motorcycle and followed behind Audrey's car as soon as she left the house."Oh, come on, Alex! Don't be such a buzzkill. It's not like we're doing anything harmful. I just want to find out more about this Audrey girl and see what she's up to," Damien gently tapped Alex's shoulder and urged him to hurry up."I get it, curiosity can be compelling, but this feels wrong. On top of that, if we are caught, it won't end up with just a beating. Haven't you been on the internet lately? Even looking at girls in the gym apparently is a crime these days," Alex spoke up as he drove."Look, Alex, I get it. But Mom is involved in this. I want to find out every nook and cranny about this girl who appeared out of nowhere," Damien said, "And you get beat up in the process. I am sure it's worth the sacrifice. Don't you t

Chapter: Damien and Audrey have their own doubtsChapter - 201"Ah... Look at the time. It's already this late. I had so much fun that I lost track of the time, "After dinner, everyone was laughing among themselves, having a good time when Audrey finally took note of the time."Oh, c'mon, it's not even nine. Stay for a bit more," Martha who was sitting beside Audrey held her hand and said, "Or even better, just stay the night here.""I would love to but I have already made some plans with a friend of mine," Audrey expressed her regret, "If I had known it would be such a pleasant evening, I would have definitely ditched her earlier. But it's too late to cancel now.""I hope you understand," Audrey asked."If you say it like that, there is nothing more that I can say, "Martha was downcasted, but she had this simple smile on her face, "But promise me that you will visit more often while you are in town.""Absolutely," Audrey agreed as she gracefully stood up, "With how funny your son is, there is no doubt that I am going to visit again

Chapter: Chapter - 28Chapter - 28Georgie walked inside the police station, brimming with joy. Just thinking about the sorry state Mathew must be in, Georgie could not stop himself from grinning ear to ear.Georgie saw it all in the morning. He was thise when Mathew was pulled away by the police officers in front of everyone. Georgie knew in one glance that his uncle had finally made his move. Though his actions a few days back still confused Georgie, but better late than never. He was more than happy to let it go if it meant Mathew could experience the torment of hell.And if that was not assuring, hours later, Georgie also received a message from his uncle, reassuring him that it was certainly doomsday for Mathew today.Oh... How much Georgie wanted to watch as his uncle tormented Mathew. What a sight it would have been to see Mathew on his knees, begging them to let him go... Just thinking about that, Georgie felt his body tingle from inside with a rush of adrenaline. It was more satisfying than the pl

Chapter: Chapter - 27Chapter - 27 "Superintendent?" Georgie's uncle, the Deputy Superintendent, looked at the man in front of him in shock and horror. His boss was here? Why? "... What are you doing here?" Georgie's uncle was so shocked to see his boss there that he did not even ask for the reason the Superintendent hit him. "Why else? To see what your wretched ass is up to," the Superintendent said as he looked at Mathew, "Misusing your authority to frame innocent citizens. You bastard really have no fear of anyone, do you?" "Superintendent?" Georgie's uncle looked at his boss, confused. “What Superintendent? Do you even take me as the Superintendent?” 'Is this boy related to the Superintendent?' Georgie's uncle tried to think. But no matter what, he could not remember seeing anything influential in the boy's background. What was it then? A misunderstanding? It must be a misunderstanding, that's all. So, he only needs to win over the Superintendent with words. "You are misunderstanding, Superintend

Chapter: Chapter - 26Chapter - 26"You sure about that?" Mathew patiently heard the Deputy Superintendent Albus's vulgar words and asked."Huh? About what?" Georgie's uncle was taken aback when instead of shivering in fear, Mathew questioned back."That I fucked your mother. Because there is no other way for me to be a motherfucker," Mathew's lips curled up in a smirk as he mentally destroyed the Deputy Superintendent."You bastard..." The Deputy Superintendent leaned forward on the table and grabbed Mathew by his neck, "You bastard is not afraid of death, it seems.""Oh! Believe me... I am shaking in my boots," Mathew gently grabbed the Deputy Superintendent's hand and pushed it away."boy... You..." Georgie's uncle looked at Mathew, amazed. What's the reason behind this poor boy's calm? He had done a thorough background check on the boy, and he was nothing... Absolutely nothing in his eyes. So what was he missing here?'NO! He is trying to bluff his way out like the last time,' But soon, the Deputy Supe

Chapter: Chapter - 25Chapter - 25Mathew sat in the interrogation room all alone. He was almost kidnapped from his school, brought to the police station and thrown into the room. And for about an hour, he had been sitting there, all alone. No one came to see him. They did not even give him a drop of water to drink. They were surely treating him like a wanted criminal. Wanted for something much worse than beating the shit out of your love rival.And on top of everything, somehow, he had started to feel cold. When he entered the room, it was somewhat warm. But as time passed, the temperature in the room dropped continuously. So much so that he was almost shivering in his boots right now.It was a psychological thing. A tactic used by the police to intimidate and play with the psyche of the felon. Mathew was not new to it. Not that he had faced it before. But, he had seen it in many of those crime thrillers. As the temperature drops, it is easy to scare the criminal into admitting most of the things that the

Chapter: Chapter - 24Chapter - 24"Young Master... Let me..." Sebastian stopped the car and turned to look back, but Mathew stopped him."I know what you want to say. But I don't want unnecessary attention," Mathew said, putting a mask on his face, "It wouldn't be good if someone saw me in this car.""So, you don't need to worry... I will meet you here after school," Mathew said, looking left and right out of the window. And after Mathew had made sure that no one from his school was around, he stepped out of the car.“I will be waiting for you here,” As he walked away, Sebastian could only watch his young Master walk away."Why is he so hesitant to claim what is his?" Sebastian thought out loud, and when Mathew was out of sight, he turned the car back home.~ ~ ~ ~ ~"Hey, Mathew! Here," Just as Mathew walked through the school gates, he saw Harry waving at his from a distance."What are you doing here?" As he got close to Harry, Mathew asked."Of course, I was waiting for you," grinning ear to ear, Harry

Chapter: Chapter - 23Chapter - 23"What happened in there?" As Sebastian drove Mathew back home, Mathew asked."What do you mean, young master? What happened? Where?" Sebastian looked confused."Don't play dumb. Why did this card not work the first time?" Mathew asked as he flipped the black card in his hands, “But suddenly everything was fine.”"Oh..." Sebastian exclaimed with a smile but did not answer."Don't oh me... Tell me, what is going on?" Annoyed by his smile, Mathew frowned, “Do you know how scared I was? One moment, and I would have been labelled a thief, rotting in jail for god knows how long. That Georgie’s uncle would have made sure of it.”“How can that be?” Sebastian continued to be in a jolly mood, “Your father and the Wilson family would have brought down the police station if they dared to lock you in there. Just for a hundred thousand dollars? The Wilsons’ would have become a laughing stock.”“Just get to the point. Why did this card not work?” Mathew was annoyed. Sebastian was always
