Chapter: CHAPTER 135- Unfortunate Surprise Sophia descended the grand staircase with her bag slung over one shoulder.Before stepping out, she paused in the foyer where Sarah was sipping tea at the dining table.“Mom,” Sophia said sharply, “warn your daughter to stay out of my room.”Sarah’s brows knit, and her eyes flicked to Elena, who was calmly eating breakfast.The glare Sarah sent her was sharp enough to cut glass, but she didn’t speak a word.Elena simply lowered her gaze to her plate, chewing slowly as though nothing had happened.Then, without missing a beat, she looked back up at Sophia.“Have a nice day,” she said with a faint smile. “And don’t forget the package… please, handle it with care.”“I won’t,” Sophia muttered, adjusting her bag. Moments later, her car rolled out of the Aldridge estate gates.Later that eveningSophia’s GPS pinged the location Sarah had given her. The sun had already dipped low, casting long shadows across the road.She slowed her car as the building came into view.It was a new building

Chapter: CHAPTER 134- The TagBehind the heavy velvet curtain, Elena’s sharp eyes followed every movement, every word exchanged between her mother and sister.She had been there since the moment Sophia stepped into the house, silent as a shadow.She was there even when Malvin visited.Her lips pressed into a thin line.A “favor”? A “package”? The sugary way her mother spoke.She had heard enough to know something was off. And she already overheard Malvin’s conversation with her mother moments agoElena was the eyes and ears of this house.Nothing happened here without her knowing.Now, she retreated from the window and shut her bedroom door behind her.Her feet paced the length of her room, her mind turning over the pieces.A surprise for Sophia.Planned by Malvin.Her gut twisted. She did not trust him one bit.She’d been watching him for weeks now — the way he charmed, manipulated, played the perfect victim. And that moment in the hospital…She remembered it vividly.It was late at night. She was supposed to wa

Chapter: CHAPTER 133- Breaking the IceShe had been standing there for five minutes watching her type and retype a message to Adrian.She could not help but frown, she thought she would have forgotten about him by now, and focus on the son-in-law she wanted for her- Malvin.“Mom!” Sophia exhaled sharply, pressing a hand to her chest. “You scared me.”Sarah smiled faintly, leaning on the open window frame. “I was watching you from upstairs. You’ve been sitting here for over twenty minutes, just… staring.”Sophia’s brows furrowed. “I was just… thinking.” She quickly grabbed her bag from the passenger seat and stepped out of the car, brushing past the topic before her mother could probe deeper.She hoped her mother was not standing there for too long and had not seen her typing and retyping a message like a girl trying so hard to get the attention of her crush.They walked side by side toward the tall double doors of the Aldridge mansion.Inside, Sophia slipped off her heels with a quiet sigh and called out, “Can I get someth

Chapter: CHAPTER 132- The Surprise PlanSarah smiled warmly, still admiring the gold jewelry in her hands.“Of course, Malvin. Anything,” she said, her tone dripping with trust.Malvin took a slow step forward, leaning on the silver-handled cane. “I… have a little surprise planned for Sophia,” he began, the corners of his lips curling just enough to suggest that it was a romantic surprise.But his intentions were dark.“I’ve just finished furnishing my new villa outside the city. I thought… a candlelit dinner would be the perfect way to thank her for everything she’s done for me since the… incident.”Sarah’s eyes lit up instantly. “Oh, that sounds wonderful!”He chuckled modestly, lowering his gaze as though he was embarrassed. “But… I don’t want to ruin the surprise by telling her myself. I was hoping you could… gently persuade her to come. You don’t need to tell her about the dinner. Just… come up with something believable so she’ll be there. When she arrives, I’ll surprise her.”Sarah nodded without hesitation. “Conside

Chapter: CHAPTER 131- Perfect Son-in-law His parents had helped him set up the whole operation.Malvin smirked as he paced around.He had not used his legs in days because of his act.“Yesss… I told you. Sophia sees me differently now. Her mother practically adores me.”Henry’s tone dropped, every word deliberate. “Then make sure you take as much as you can from them. Don’t waste this chance, son.”Cecilia stepped closer, her voice low and urgent. “And once you marry into their family, you must penetrate their business. You know how our family company is failing. If you don’t do something, we’ll be bankrupt in weeks.”Malvin straightened his back, looking between his parents with calm assurance. “Relax. I’m going to do exactly that. Once I’m in, their wealth is ours. Their business… ours. I’ll bleed them without them even realizing it.”Malvin was still convinced that he had Rowan's full trust.But Malvin didn’t care.Sarah completely believed in him.And that was all he needed.That afternoon, he arrived at the Aldrige esta

Chapter: CHAPTER 130- Who is Lying?Malvin, lying against the pillows, lowered his gaze to hide the faintest twitch at the corner of his lips.Inside, he was smiling.“Enough!” Sophia’s voice cracked through the room, sharp and trembling with rage.“Enough of all these baseless accusations — for what?!” Her eyes flared as she stepped closer to him. “To have your way with me?”Adrian’s gaze didn’t waver, but his silence felt heavier than any retort.Sophia’s voice shook with the force of everything she’d been holding in. “First you accuse him of poisoning me. Then you accuse him of poisoning my Grandfather. And now…” her hands clenched at her sides, “now you’re accusing him of pretending after he took a bullet trying to save my life?”Saying it aloud made Adrian realize how crazy it sounded.But it was the truth.Her breath hitched, but she didn’t stop. “I refused to see it before, but jealousy has clouded your senses, Adrian. That’s all this is. Jealousy.”Still, Adrian said nothing. Not a single word.“Take your things

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

Chapter: CHAPTER 185James's mind raced as he tried to come up with a plan to defuse the bomb and protect himself and Amelia."Don't think of doing anything funny, they are seat pressure bombs, any slight change in pressure of the seats and the bomb will go off, I also have the remote detonator if you try to contact anyone you'll be blown to pieces if you think you're smart to try me then"James turned to Amelia who was sweating profusely, if it was just him in the car, he could easily come out of the car untouched but now he had to try and save Amelia.James's heart sank as he realized the gravity of the situation. 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. "I know the son I raised is not responsible for any of those things they are accusing you of"Thank you, Mom," James said, his voice choked with emotion.

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. He could hear Sebastian’s cruel laughter above as he mocked him. The so called Almighty Lord Cloud was finally taken down by his own half brother. "Tell your son that his father was a coward..." Nathan’s eyes burned red with determination but his body was too weak. The branch snapped with a sudden, deafening crack, and Nathan fell once again into the abyss.

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."

Yet even in that state, his lips curled into a mocking smile as Nathan finally came to a stop few feet away.Nathan's gun raised and aimed directly at Sebastian's forehead."You should be mourning, Nathan," Sebastian sneered.He knew that his men were able to disarm the bomb at the studium but he saw Vanessa's car go up in flames there was no way she could have survived that."Your wife’s gone. Your child is dead. And here you are, trying to play hero."Nathan's jaw clenched at the mention of his child.He took a step closer, the gun steady in his hand, his eyes blazing with fury.
