The walls were lined wit

Ethan Hale rarely hesitated. Hesitation was for the weak.But as he stood frozen, gripping the dead phone in his hand, something dark coiled inside him.Jasmine's scream still rang in his ears.A crash. A thud. Then—silence.Victor Lang, who had been lounging casually just moments ago, straightened. “What the hell was that?”Ethan didn’t answer immediately. His mind was already working at high speed—analyzing, calculating.Jasmine had called him out of desperation.Which meant—she had no one else.The last time she had called, it had been to mock him. To gloat about how she was moving on.And now?She was begging.His lips curled slightly. I should let her rot.But something was off.The sound of that struggle… It wasn’t staged.And Ethan had seen enough death to recognize the fear in her voice.“Trace the call,” he ordered.Victor blinked. “What?”“You heard me.” Ethan’s voice was sharp. Deadly.Victor sighed but pulled out his tablet. “I’ll have the tech team track it. But Ethan, co

The weight of betrayal sat heavy in Ethan Hale’s chest, but his expression remained impassive. His fingers drummed a steady rhythm against the polished mahogany desk as he read through the classified report spread before him. The words were mere ink on paper, but the truth they contained burned through him like fire. Jasmine’s family hadn’t just looked down on him. They had conspired against him from the very beginning. A low, humorless chuckle escaped his lips. He had suspected treachery, but the sheer depth of their deception? Almost laughable. The Report Revealed Everything: The Lin family had deliberately orchestrated his downfall, ensuring he remained powerless while married to Jasmine. They had sabotaged job opportunities that could have elevated him beyond their control. They had secretly used his intelligence, his strategies, his ideas to amass their wealth—while ensuring he stayed in the shadows. Worst of all? They had always planned to discard him from the start. Ja

The once-mighty Lin Enterprises lay in ruins. Its stock value had plummeted, its major investors had fled, and the boardroom that once commanded fear now reeked of desperation.At the heart of this catastrophe sat Charles Lin, alone in his dimly lit office, his trembling fingers wrapped around a glass of whiskey.Just hours ago, he had been at the pinnacle of his career, celebrating another business conquest.Now?He was finished.The betrayal had been swift, merciless. The company he had spent decades building—gone. And the man responsible?Ethan Hale.The same useless son-in-law Charles had mocked, humiliated, and discarded like trash.His grip tightened around the glass, anger boiling beneath his skin. He had underestimated Ethan. Everyone had.A knock on the door made him flinch.Before he could respond, the door swung open.And there he was.Ethan Hale.Dressed in an impeccably tailored black suit, his presence exuded raw power. His dark gaze swept across the room, cold and unrel

The storm had been brewing for too long. Now, it was time to unleash it.Ethan stood at the head of the war table, his expression cold, his mind razor-sharp. Around him, his most trusted allies exchanged glances, feeling the weight of the night ahead.Sebastian Wolfe, his second-in-command, studied the blueprint one last time. “We’ll breach from the west entrance. The security’s weaker there, but we need to move fast before Grimm’s reinforcements arrive.”Victoria Steele, Ethan’s tech expert, tapped furiously on her laptop. “I’ll jam their surveillance feeds and disrupt their communication lines. But once we’re inside, you’ll be in a dead zone—no backup, no tech support.”Leon Kai, the mercenary strategist, leaned forward, pointing to an underground passage. “I’ll take my unit through the east tunnel. If anything goes wrong, we’ll flank Grimm from behind.”Aisha Ren, the assassin, twirled a dagger between her fingers. “Leave the high-ranking guards to me.” Her smile was as sharp as th
