Chapter: CHAPTER 149- You Asked For ItRowan turned back to Adrian, the anger in his face replaced by a quieter gravity.“All right,” he said, voice low but firm. “We won’t let you slip away so easily next time.”Adrian gave a small nod.The family drifted toward the house in silence, the heavy oak doors swallowing their shadows one by one.Only Sophia lingered, her eyes following Adrian as he walked toward his sleek black sedan.She paused glancing over her shoulder.Elena was already inside, good. No audience.Sophia eventually caught up to Adrian as he got to the front of his car.“Adrian,” she said softly.“Thank you,” she whispered. “For everything. Tonight… I don’t even know what would’ve—”He cut her off with a faint smile. “It’s all right. Just learn to listen to me next time.”Sophia tilted her head, a teasing spark igniting in her eyes.“Speaking of listening to you…”Adrian was taller, his shadow stretching over her.Before he could react, she rose on her toes and pressed her lips to his.Adrian’s hand slid inst

Chapter: CHAPTER 148- Far From Over"If I ever see either of you near this house again...”Henry’s face darkened. “I don’t care,” he barked, chin jutting. “As if your pompous family was ever any use to us.”"Tomorrow Rhein Group is organizing an investment bouquet, and we will surely win it. When we do, you will come to us begging for mercy."Adrian could not help but let out a small laugh that seemed to infuriate the Darkthrones even more.Tomorrow was the long-awaited investment bouquet he had organized.They will be very foolish to think they will come close to winning it.There was no way he was going to award the investment contract to a family filled with liars and thieves.Cecelia hissed, her fury boiling over. “We don’t need you. But first—”Her eyes snapped to Adrian, venomous.“...we’ll deal with the bastard who destroyed my son.”She lunged at Adrian with her hands raised to give him a vicious slap.SNAP!Her wrist froze mid-swing.Adrian’s hand clamped around hers like an iron trap.His eyes were as cold as

Chapter: CHAPTER 147- Cut TiesFrom the passenger side, another door slammed hard.Henry Darkthrone emerged, his booming voice followed his wife's.“WHERE IS HE?” he thundered.“Where is the coward who maimed my boy?”Rowan stepped forward, his tall frame cutting a black silhouette against the porch lights.“How dare you storm into my house and shout like that?” His chest heaved as his anger began to rise once again.“If not that I consider you a friend to this family,” he continued, his gaze narrowing to a lethal sliver, “I would have you and your wife thrown out this instant.”Henry’s chest heaved. “Friends?” He barked a bitter laugh. “And yet you hide the bastard who ruined my son’s life? Do you even know what he’s done? He’s crippled him! My boy will never father a child, never!”Cecelia’s eyes blazed like coals. “You call yourself a father, Rowan, and you protect a thug who—”“Enough.”Rowan’s command cracked like a rifle shot.Even the night insects stilled.He took one deliberate step closer, the polished st

Chapter: CHAPTER 146- A Mother's AngerAdrian’s steady gaze shifted from the shattered family to Sophia’s pale face.Her eyes were now worried about what Rowan was about to do to her mother.Adrian knew she was acting out of anger and definitely did not want her mother to be thrown out of the house because of her.Adrian turned back to Rowan.“Mr. Aldrige,” Adrian said, his voice low but cutting through the tense night.“I don’t think we should be blaming Sarah.”Rowan’s glare snapped to him.Few people dared speak when Rowan was in this state.Adrian didn’t flinch. “Malvin is the culprit here."He’s the predator. He’s the one who tried to harm Sophia and ruin your family’s name.""Sarah… was deceived. She is just a victim of his scheme.”For a second the courtyard held its breath.Rowan’s jaw worked, fury still coiled like a storm behind his eyes.Everyone braced for an explosion.But then...Something shifted.The great Rowan Aldrige inhaled.It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over fire.His shoulders eas

Chapter: CHAPTER 145- Calm AngerFootsteps pounded across the floor as Rowan, Gerald, and Elena rushed outside as they heard the commotion at their doorstep They were eager to know what was going on.Elena heard her sister shouting, and she rushed out, wondering if her suspicion was true, if what she predicted about Malvin's was true.Rowan’s gaze shot from Adrian’s cold stance to his daughter’s trembling in fury, to Sarah frozen on the steps like a guilty statue.“What in God’s name is going on?” Rowan demanded, his baritone echoing through the courtyard.Sarah tried to give her an eye not to escalate things, but Sophia wasn't calming down.She should know her daughter by now Sophia turned towards them.“Mother set me up. With Malvin.”All eyes turned to Sarah, whose face had a guilty look.“She arranged a date and she didn’t even ask me. Malvin drugged me, tried to record me. He wanted to ruin me, ruin all of us.""If Adrian hadn’t found me, you’d be watching a nightmare on every screen in Silver City right now.”

Chapter: CHAPTER 144- Blood Betrayal“Yes.” The word spat out like venom. “She tricked me."She delivered me right into Malvin’s hands because she’s obsessed with getting me married off to him."Adrian’s jaw tightened, the road lights sliding cold reflections across his face.“Your own mother set this up?”Sophia’s laugh was brittle, bitter. “Yes.And I can’t wait to get home and dump every ounce of this anger right back on her.”The engine’s growl filled the car as Adrian pressed the accelerator.Minutes later, the black sedan drove through the gates of the Sinclair compound.The grand house loomed, lights blazing against the night.Sarah stood at the front steps, she had been waiting for Sophia's return.She expected her daughter would be blown away by the amazing date she had set up with her wonderful son-in-law, Malvin.She stood at the step like a high school girl waiting for her crush.But when the familiar black sedan rolled to a stop, the eager smile faltered.Confusion flickered across her face.Was that not Adr

His once formidable strength drained away, leaving him vulnerable and defenseless.James wasted no time, seizing the opportunity to launch himself at Friedrich once more, he unleashed a relentless onslaught of punches and kicks, and Friedrich finally fell to his knees.Friedrich, now weakened and battered, stumbled backward, his eyes wide with fear and disbelief.With one final, decisive blow, James delivered a powerful strike to Friedrich's jaw, sending him crashing to the ground.As Friedrich lay defeated at their feet, James turned to Amelia and Alice.James then made a call to Brian to bring another car to his location."Are you both okay?"

Nine... Eight..." "Alright! I choose my car, just let Alice go"Alice's eyes widened with surprise, she was expecting James to sacrifice her, especially after all she had done to him in the past.What the hell

The voice on the other end of the line was cold and merciless, leaving no room for negotiation or escape.James then turned off the speaker of the phone so that he could not hear what they were discussing."Amelia, we need to stay calm," James said, his voice steady despite the fear gnawing at his insides. "We have to do exactly as they say if we want to get out of this alive."Amelia nodded,

Chapter: CHAPTER 184James stood there, standing strong amidst the chaos, his demeanor unwavering despite the gunfire."You fools think a mere bullet can stop me?" James's voice cut through the tension like a blade. "You underestimate the power of the Winslow Empire."The gang members exchanged nervous glances. They had heard rumors of his invincibility, but witnessing it firsthand sent chills down their spines."You still have one last chance to surrender," James declared, his tone final. "Or face the consequences."But the gang members, fueled by arrogance and greed, refused to yield. With a defiant roar, they unleashed a barrage of bullets towards James, believing their firepower would finally bring him down.Yet, to their astonishment, James remained untouched, a proof of his indomitable strength. The gang members were now terrified and immediately lowered their guns in fear."You should have taken the chance I have you to do the right thing, now you will pay with your lives!"

I am the one holding the gun here, I could end your life here and now!""Ohh really?" James grew out of patience and in a quick move, he turned and knocked the guy right off his hand.As the gun clattered to the ground, James wasted no time. With lightning speed, he lunged forward and delivered a swift blow to the masked man's chest, knocking him off balance.The gang member stumbled backward, caught off guard by James's sudden attack. With adrenaline coursing through his veins, James seized the opportunity to disarm his assailant, grabbing the gun before it could be retrieved.He then pointed the gun

"It's just been a lot to deal with.""I also heard the news, what manner of evil is this? How could someone be so wicked to tarnish the image of an innocent man"Maureen looked at James sympathetically, her eyes reflecting the pain she felt for her son. "My son I can imagine what you're going through," she said softly.

Chapter: CHAPTER 305Nathan’s consciousness began to return as a sharp intake of breath filled his lungs. His chest rose violently, his body convulsing like he’d been struck by lightning. Then came the surge which felt like electricity, the force that seemed to awaken every cell in him. Power unlike anything he had ever felt began to course through his veins. It wasn’t just adrenaline; it was something supernatural. Nathan’s fingers twitched, curling into the dirt beneath him. Despite his wounds he felt zero pain. The darkened sky rumbled, thunder cracked, and the atmosphere was heavy as if the heavens themselves were about to witness what was about to happen. Nathan opened his eyes. They gleamed with an intensity they hadn’t held beforebefore, he staggered to his feet, and his fingers curled into a fist. The branch he had clung to was now in pieces beneath him, Nathanglanced upward, and his jaws tightened. Sebastian!!! Nathan didn’t need to think. He planted his foot against the rock wa

Not like this. Not today. The branch creaked remindinf him that time was running out. Nathan closed his eyes and he gritted his teeth as he tired to summon the strength to pull himself up.

Sebastian, however, remained unmoved, he stood over Nathan with a grin on his bloodied face. "You really do not know when to quit, do you?" Sebastian taunted him. Nathan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. "I will never quit," he said in a hoarse voice. "Not until I’ve destroyed you." Sebastian chuckled darkly, he was amused by Nathan's arrogance. "Destroy me?" he repeated mockinghim. "You can’t even stand properly, Lord Cloud."
