Chapter: Chapter 15Jeremy was alone in his car as he drove to Naomi. A wave of regret hit him and he cursed his luck for getting him into all this mess.It was no surprise that Ariel thought of him as only a tool just the way Stephanie did.Why were women always like this?He wondered to himself.If he was rich, he wouldn't have gotten himself into such a mess.“Women. A bunch of them are annoying.” Jeremy gritted in frustration.He still had to get his sister at least, she was the only one who didn't annoy him.Jeremy wondered how long he could put up with this if his mother didn't recover fast.Would the doctor ensure that his mother got everything they needed?If Ariel continued like this, he was sure that sooner or later, she would stop the payment of his mother’s fees and he did not want that to happen.He had to be prepared but how?Should he get a new job with this prestige he had and save up?However, Ariel and her brothers were bound to question him.He gripped the steering wheel in anger.

Chapter: Chapter 14“You mean all this is for your wife.” Harold said with widened eyes.“Yes,” Jeremy smiled, “By the way, can you help me take it to my place? They are a lot and there’s no way I can get them all there by myself.” Jeremy asked with a pleading look.Harold, who was dumbstruck by the amount of gifts in front of him, only nodded and at once the helpers moved the items into the back of the Lamborghini.“Thank you Harold. Let’s get moving. My wife is waiting for me.” Jeremy patted his friend’s back, dragging the man out of his day dreaming.“Your wife is a lucky woman.” Harold muttered.“If only she understood that.” Jeremy sighed.At the large company, Ariel went after her uncle trying to stop him from snooping in her office.The man owned a company and because of their rivalry, they butted heads with each other.“I am going to call the guards on you, Uncle. You need to leave this moment.” Ariel frowned.First, Jeremy played this silly joke on her and blatantly disobeyed her order. Now, her

Chapter: Chapter 13Ariel looked at Bella as the news was delivered, she could feel her headache increasing by the minute.“I don’t understand why he would disappear after seeing how important this meeting is to me.” Ariel groaned and pinched her forehead. She felt like calling off this wedding but she couldn’t do that.How then would she explain to her brothers about everything?“He’d soon return Ma’am. I think what you should be most worried about is that Mr. Malcolm is sitting right now in the conference room and you should find a way to distract him from this company’s business.” Bella advised. She internally blamed herself for allowing Jeremy to leave.“Ok, I’ll have to keep that sneaky maggot busy for a while and if you see Jeremy, please send him upstairs.” Ariel stated, she straightened her blouse and decide to touch her make up. She didn’t want to look like a mess in front of her own rival.“Noted, Ma’am. I’ll do just that.” Bella replied.Without a word, Ariel left the office to talk to her unc

Chapter: Chapter 12“Is that a threat?” Jeremy muttered in a cool voice. He could finally see what he was to her. She only saw him like a tool, just like the way Stephanie saw him.“No, I just think that it’d be a great help from you to me since I’m helping you. You did agree to be my husband so I can get this position.” Ariel said in a soft voice dripping with a certain tinge of sweetness.She moved closer to Jeremy and placed her palm on his chest before looking into his eyes.“What are you doing, Ariel?” Jeremy narrowed his eyes and gazed down at her. One minute, she was fire, and the next minute, she was cold.He didn’t like that he wasn’t able to understand, not like he ever understood women but there was something about Ariel that made him uncomfortable.She was a stunning woman but from the way, she dealt with that Sanchez lady, he knew she was brutal.“Don’t you know newly-weds are meant to make out?” Ariel said and moved her head closer to his, causing the poor man to go into a panic.“Wait. I d

Chapter: Chapter 11Behind Jeremy’s car which Ariel had provided for his business, was another car, it had a luxurious gold design with tinted designs and it followed closely behind Jeremy’s car.Jeremy was a bit carried away by the beauty of the car he was in that he realize that he was being followed. His phone made a beep sound, notifying him of an incoming message.Jeremy opened to text to realize that it was Ariel who messaged him, she informed that she would meet him in her office and he should be expectant.Noah was on his phone as he followed Jeremy from the home his sister bought where he had previously been spying.“I’m telling you, I saw the way he held her and took her to her room like he was some kind of prince.” Noah gripped the phone as he spoke. There was something he felt was off about Jeremy but he couldn’t pinpoint it.“I think you should let it be, Noah. You don’t need to be sneaking about.” The voice on the other side of the phone answered him with a chuckle.“You don’t t know what y

Chapter: Chapter 10Where does it hurt?”Jeremy asked, taking a seat close to her on the bed.“Both of my ankles are sprained. I don't think I can walk.” She answered, pressing her hands against the affected area.“Oh shit!” He cursed and tried to touch her legs, but she immediately flinched.“I'll call a doctor. Do you have a personal doctor?”“No.” She shook her head a little too quickly, as if he had mentioned something scary instead of a doctor.“No, you don't have a personal doctor?” He asked with furrowed brows.“No, don't call me a doctor, I'll be fine.” She answered without looking at him.“I shouldn't get you a doctor? But you are injured.” He exclaimed, confused as to why she didn't want a doctor. If both her ankles were sprained, then she most definitely needed a doctor.“It doesn't matter. I'm fine.” She said firmly. He nodded, confused, but her decision, but deciding to respect it all the same.He stood from her bed and went to investigate what had caused the fall, and he found a tube of gel

Chapter: CHAPTER 250 It's been two years already and still no sign of Viktor. Some people were already beginning to doubt if he was really still alive or maybe he had moved on with his life. But Sylvester was sure Viktor still had some grand plan, he was just taking his time, waiting for everyone to relax their guard. One thing was certain though to Sylvester; whenever he decided to act, they won't be caught unprepared. Their stronghold, rebuilt the previous year, towered like a fortress of living steel, its reinforced walls humming with layered defenses that could withstand anything short of a natural cataclysm. Patrol units glided through the courtyard with organized precision, and new recruits trained with a discipline that reflected the very heart of the clan: resilience and purpose. Yet, for all the clan’s power and polish, Sylvester found his real peace not within the fortified walls but in the quiet space of the life he built with Emily. They had learned to balance their roles, leaders by d

Chapter: CHAPTER 249 No other incident occurred after the reported breach and Sylvester gradually relaxed again, permitting himself to enjoy the peace this time. Finally it was time for Emily to give birth and she successfully delivered a baby boy. Everyone who saw him immediately knew he was going to be a handful. He had Sylvester's hair color and eyes. Sylvester held the small bundle in the crooked part of his arm, smiling at his son. Tears blurred his vision but he blinked them away. He had never been this happy before. Time flew by and Sylvester returned to the clan. He told Emily about it and she readily agreed, stating she was already bored with an ordinary life and was considering suggesting going back. When they arrived at the compound two months after Emily's delivery, they couldn't help but stare openly in awe at how transformed it was. Sylvester walked by slowly, his eyes taking everything in. The once-battered front gates glowed with reinforced steel, the clan's insignia embedded

Chapter: CHAPTER 248 Two weeks at the resort bled past in bliss. Emily loved every second of it. Sylvester tried to. Truthfully, his body still reacted to every unfamiliar sound, immediately switching to combat mode of its a sound he didn't recognize but still despite that, he was trying his best to be deliberate in the learning process. Every morning, Emily woke up first, humming some songs she remembered from childhood while she flipped through baby name lists on her tablet. Sylvester would lie beside her, pretending he didn’t hear her whispering to the baby or giggling when the baby kicked at random moments. Other times, she dragged him for long walks on the sand, resting often but determined to stay active. It was complete transformation from the corporate woman he knew her as to a carefree dedicated wife and soon to be mother. But despite the peace, something flickered under Sylvester’s skin.. a subtle pull, like an invisible tether back to the clan. He didn’t mention it, not wanting to ruin an

Chapter: CHAPTER 247 The first morning at the resort felt like waking into a different universe entirely. Soft sunlight filtered through the curtains, painting warm streaks across the walls of the room. For a moment after waking, Sylvester didn’t move, preferring to simply lay there, listening to Emily’s gentle breathing beside him and the distant hum of waves rolling onto the shore. Ah… so this is what peace truly feels like? It was a sensation alien to him. Emily stirred after a few minutes, stretching lightly with a low sigh. Her hand instinctively landed on her belly, and she smiled when she felt the baby kick happily in response to her touch. “You’re awake,” Sylvester murmured, turning his head to look at her. “Barely,” she said with satisfied smile, voice thick with sleep. “Did you sleep any?” “A little.” He admitted. “More than I expected actually.” He didn’t tell her that he had woken up twice, expecting danger, expecting the sharp press of reality to hit him. And each time he’d fo

Chapter: CHAPTER 246 The first few months after the government ceremonies moved like a slow, unfamiliar breeze through the clan. Everything was calmer, almost unnervingly too calm considering what the clan had gone through. No sudden alarms. No explosions rocking the earth. No orders shouted through smoke. It was the first time in months that Sylvester woke up without the taste of battle lingering at the back of his throat. But he wasn’t entirely at peace yet. He still had a lot of work to do and Viktor to hunt. Only then would he wholly embrace peace. Thanks to the news of their victory against superhuman clones, people were coming in from everywhere with the desire to be members of the clan, including those with the potential to cultivate and the ordinary citizens. Also, the world has officially accepted him as the CEO of Red Dragon and he had fished out those corrupt guards who carried out illegal missions for government officials and handed them over to be punished. Now every platoon leader from

Chapter: CHAPTER 245 Sylvester barely slept that night. The hotel room the government had arranged for him and his team as they arrived later in the day was comfortable… too comfortable, almost offensive in how pristine it felt after what they had just come from. He sat by the window long after Gerald and Otto had gone to their rooms, watching the city lights glitter like nothing had happened. Like lives hadn’t been lost. Like his clan hadn’t bled for a country that didn’t understand what had truly been lurking beneath its own soil. By sunrise, he was already dressed, the adrenaline of unfinished business pushing him forward. The government had scheduled a “national address and media engagement.” Gerald had read the announcement out loud the previous night, but Sylvester barely reacted. He didn’t care about the cameras. He cared about the truth. He cared about the people who deserved to be honored for their sacrifice. When they arrived at the central government hall, everything felt unnecessaril
