Chapter: PerfectionLaxus stayed glued to Nessy’s side at the hospital, holding her hand tenderly and never letting go. Nessy had been in the hospital for twenty-four hours now, and even though she kept slipping in and out of consciousness as a result of the medication that was administered to her, Laxus remained at her side.Bowman had tried to talk Laxus into going home to get some rest, but Laxus had been adamant.Even the doctor had informed Laxus that there was nothing to be worried about anymore, as Nessy was better; the medication only needed to wear out of her system so that she could regain consciousness fully and be discharged, Laxus still didn’t leave.Staring at Nessy, it dawned on Laxus that he had fallen in love with her.Without knowing and without looking, he had loved Nessy. After the betrayal he experienced from Linnie, Laxus never imagined that he would ever be able to love another woman, but here he was, having his heart pump with love for Nessy.The mere thought of losing Nessy made L

Chapter: True Reconciliation With SelfLuther waited along with Laxus and Bowman at the private hospital lobby while the doctors worked on Nessy.Laxus was clearly restless and agitated, and dangerously quiet.It dawned on Luther that Laxus was madly and deeply in love with Nessy. It reminded him of the feelings he had thought he had for Abby Golden, but since she left, and with the turnout of things, Luther had come to realize that she was simply using him to carry out her vengeance on Laxus simply because he did not reciprocate her love.His heart became warm, and tears gathered in his eyes.Looking at Laxus, he felt slightly envious, but it wasn’t the envy that resulted to hatred.In truth, things had always worked out well for Laxus, and looking at him now, standing right next to his biological father, Luther wished that he had half of what Laxus had. Laxus was visibly and dangerously worried and upset, and as a result, he had been very quiet and tense, making Luther to pray in his heart that Nessy should be alright,

Chapter: Rescue MissionLaxus was almost losing his mind. He had already alerted the cops, and although they were out looking for Nessy, they had to do so cautiously so that they would not upset the kidnappers.Dragon was also out with his men, combing the entire city carefully and searching everywhere for Nessy.“You are going to have a heart attack if you continue like this,” Bowman told Laxus.He had never seen Laxus this troubled, and it confirmed all that Bowman had been saying that Laxus was deeply and madly in love with Nessy. The look he saw in Laxus’s eyes was very familiar; it was the same kind of look that he had about Katryn Kinkaid.“How can you ask me to calm down? What would become of me if anything happens to Nessy?” Laxus said.He was already beating himself up for letting Nessy go to the gigantic mansion with just one driver and bodyguard. He already had that fear the first time that Nessy mentioned her intentions to visit the mansion, but she managed to talk him out of it.How could he hav

Chapter: Losers And WinnersLuther was completely drenched in confusion and sadness, and he covered his face with his hands as he tried to get a hold of himself.He had come into his father’s bedroom to narrate what he overheard between Linnie and Detective George, but what Luther hadn’t expected was the revelation his father was giving him. In the last one hour, Luther had stayed put and listened to Darwin reveal everything to Luther, from the very beginning where he met with Katryn Kinkaid, the betrayal, his sacrifices, and what he had to do to keep Luther in the family name and inheritance.“You mean all that happened?” Luther managed to ask.“And I am telling you now so that you would know that it is time to fight your enemy,” Darwin said bitterly. “The company is your legacy, Luther, but now that it seems like you are about to lose it, you have to also make sure that Laxus’s life is miserable as well,” Darwin instructed.Luther was stunned into speechlessness.He had always wondered why his father never re

Chapter: Father And SonBowman knew the moment he saw the letters even without touching or opening them, and that was because after he heard of Katryn’s death, Mrs. Kinkaid had revealed to him that he had a son with Katryn; a result of their one-night stand, and she also told him that Katryn had tried to write to him, but Darwin seized all the letters.“Five million dollars, and you will get to read all these letters,” Linnie answered. Then she proceeded in bringing out the small box, much to Bowman’s surprise. “And you can have this forever too,” she added.Bowman’s heart grew heavy.What Linnie was asking for was not an amount he could not afford, and he knew that she was a desperate bitch, but he didn’t mind. Anything that would put his mind at rest and help him to complete what he should have done years ago, and also get closer to Katryn one last time, he was willing to do it.“And you will never show your face again?” Bowman asked her.“You have it,” Linnie answered with certainty.Bowman didn’t believe

Chapter: Plan BLinnie and Luther were brought out of the cell they had been thrown into like criminals.“You are free to go,” they were informed.They were both surprised, because they had actually feared that they would remain locked up forever, especially being that the accusation that was leveled against them was huge, and with Laxus’s influence and power, if he decided to press full charges against them, they would never survive it.“On whose authority?” Luther asked.“We are not at liberty to say, but just be grateful to Detective George for pulling some strings,” came the answer from one of the cops.Again, they were shocked. However, Luther lingered to pick up his stuff while Linnie went ahead of him. She found Detective George waiting outside the station and she hurriedly went to him.“You bailed us?” She asked him, almost whispering.Detective George seemed hesitant to speak to her as he was worried about Luther as well.“We shouldn’t be seen talking, and you know this, Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid

Chapter: The Sect’s BlindsideNesse drew in a shaky breath as she noticed the stares circling her.Some faces carried pity, others curiosity, but beneath them all lay suspicion. She straightened, forcing her voice steady.“Please, lead the way,” she told the detective, giving her mother a quick nod.Jules pressed her lips together to hold back a sob. She understood her daughter’s signal well enough. Nesse wasn’t guilty. Stubborn? Yes. Defiant? Absolutely. But not a killer. The problem was the timing—her sudden disappearance, Vince’s death minutes later, and their very public feud. It painted an ugly picture.Nesse followed the detective, keeping her head high, heels striking against the marble floor. She refused to look broken, not when she knew the truth. Jules watched her daughter walk away, her heart heavy.Outside, the heavy air inside the mansion gave way to the evening breeze. Nesse barely had time to inhale before flashing lights blinded her. Paparazzi swarmed the steps, microphones shoving forward, questio

Chapter: The OneNesse stared at the cheque and the note spread across her glass table. She read the words again and again, searching her memories for any clue, but nothing came. She didn’t know if this “Anonymous Super secret helper” was a man or woman, admirer or stranger. Every envelope had been the same- red colored with little stars on the corners, and the same words written in cursive: Your Anonymous Super secret helper. She had tried to trace the names on past cheques, but they always led nowhere.“At least let me say thank you,” she muttered in frustration.Her phone buzzed, Jules’s name flashing on the screen. Nesse froze, realizing she had slipped out of the party without telling anyone. She picked up.“Nesse, where are you?” Jules asked. Her voice was calm, softer than expected.“I—I’m in my office,” Nesse said.“Alright, please don’t cry, my baby, I don’t—”“Cry? Why would I be crying? What’s going on? I left because of an emergency at work,” Nesse cut in, frowning.There was a pause, the

Chapter: Anonymous Across the hall, Nesse sat in the corner where the party noise faded. She held a half-filled glass of red wine, swirling it without drinking. Her grey eyes followed the movement, but her mind seemed far away. The chandelier light touched her pale face, yet she looked detached. She lifted the glass once, paused, and set it down without sipping. Her shoulders slouched, her posture heavy as if the evening weighed on her.Jules appeared suddenly, her heels clicking hard against the polished floor. Her face was tense, her lips pressed thin with irritation. Without a word, she grabbed Nesse’s arm and tugged it firmly.“Why are you sitting here?” Jules scolded in a sharp whisper, leaning down so no one else could overhear. “Shouldn’t you be looking for Vince?” Her dark eyes narrowed as she gave her daughter a look that was both questioning and accusing at once.Nesse let out a long, weary sigh, resisting the pull but not quite shaking her mother’s grip. “I’ve looked everywhere, Mum,” she re

Chapter: Wrong TargetHades turned into the quiet, well-guarded street where Vince’s birthday party took place. Expensive cars lined the road, each carrying the city’s elite. Behind dark shades, Hades observed them through his mirrors, his face unreadable.He pulled his car to the curb and stepped out with a calm stride. His tailored suit blended him with the wealthy crowd. On the surface, he looked like one of them—another guest here to drink fine wine and exchange hollow greetings.The guards at the entrance didn’t hesitate to block his path. One extended a hand. “Invitation, please.”Hades dipped two fingers into the breast pocket of his jacket and produced a crisp card. The men inspected it briefly, saw nothing amiss, and moved aside. None of them knew the real owner of that card was unconscious in the trunk of Hades’ car.With slow, measured steps, he entered the building. No part of his movement betrayed what he truly was—an executioner hidden in plain sight.The elevator carried him upward. He press

Chapter: Don't Be AfraidIron studied the faces of the people in the circle, some familiar and comforting, others almost forgotten, shadows from another life. The chamber’s silence pressed around them, broken only by the faint crackle of torches along the stone walls. Every eye rested on him, waiting.“I have missed this gathering,” Iron said at last. His voice carried both sorrow and strength, as if he spoke through years of silence and loss. The weight of his words lingered in the air, drawing a solemn stillness from the group. After a pause, he added with quiet resolve, “Thank you for waiting.”His gaze swept the circle, but when it fell on Athena, it sharpened like a blade. “What you did was reckless.”Athena did not flinch. Her eyes narrowed, her voice cold and defiant. “He deserved it.”“I know,” Iron replied, his tone cutting through the air, sharp enough to sting. “But your actions put the world’s eyes on us. We exist in secret for a reason.” His words rang heavy, a reminder of an oath none of them da

Chapter: The TitansThe bar had emptied in chaos, leaving broken chairs and spilled drinks behind. The acrid scent of beer mixed with smoke clung to the air. Glass crunched underfoot as Athena pushed past the stage curtains with Iron close behind. Her pace never faltered. Her long coat swept the floor as if she knew every step by instinct.“Keep up,” she said sharply, not once glancing back.Iron adjusted his stride, tall frame barely fitting through the narrow backstage. The music equipment lay scattered—abandoned cables, dented speakers, overturned mic stands. But Athena ignored it all, weaving through with the certainty of someone who had walked this path countless times.Instead of stopping at the end of the stage, she slipped between two towering stacks of amplifiers. Iron frowned when she pressed her hand against the wall behind them.“What are you—”Her fingers found a seam in the stone. She pulled, and the panel shifted soundlessly aside. A breath of colder air spilled out, like a grave opening.
