At that moment, hearing what London's grandfather just said, the three men still kneeling on the floor didn’t know what to do. Their heads were down, their foreheads pressed to the cold stone, and their bodies shook with the weight of shame. Their faces were bruised, blood still drying on their lips and noses, but they didn’t flinch. They just kneel there, like broken things that had been thrown in a corner and forgotten. The silence that followed was thick, like smoke in the air, and it was London’s father who finally broke it.He walked closer from where he had been standing behind the three men, his jaw tight, his eyes hard. He stepped forward, his boots clicking on the floor, and turned to face his father. The old man stood tall, his back straight, his face like stone. London’s father didn’t speak right away. He just looked at him, like he was trying to read something in his eyes that wasn’t there.Then he said, “Dad, it’s been days now. We’ve been chasing ghosts and asking the wr

His eyes scanned each line slowly at first… then faster… until he froze.The contents of the letter hit like a slap to the soul.It was written by someone anonymous but someone who clearly knew too much.The letter detailed that the man in the photo was the one responsible for London’s death.It all began with a woman.A woman London liked a woman London had made his feelings clear about. He had told the man in the photo to step back, to respect the boundary. It wasn’t a fight. London didn’t raise a hand. He simply asked him to let her go. That was it.But that wasn’t enough.Because London had said it in front of people. The man felt humiliated. Insulted.The letter said London had no idea how much damage those words had caused not because of what he said, but because of who he said them to.London didn’t press further. He didn’t retaliate. He simply walked away.Because that’s the kind of man London was calm, decent, kind to a fault.But the man in the picture didn’t let it go.He t

Evelyn’s voice cracked as she paced in frustration. “He’s a pig! A nothing! Just because he got lucky and walked out of that place alive doesn’t mean he deserves to even breathe the same air as me. And now, you want me to chase him? Pretend I want him? Seduce him? For what?! To trick him into coming back to this family like he’s some lost pet?”Her chest rose and fell with rapid breaths, her face flushed with fury. “I’m not doing that. I swear to God, I will never do that.”Her mother, unshaken by her daughter’s outrage, simply reached for the glass of water on the table and took a slow sip. Then, with a calm tone that almost sounded rehearsed, she said, “Evelyn, calm down. You’re worrying too much. Nobody said anything about sleeping with him. That’s not what we’re asking.”She placed the glass back down and looked Evelyn straight in the eyes. “We just need you to seduce him. That’s all. Make him think you still want him. Make him confused, mess with his mind a little. You can drug

Not long after, Tyler and Princess Sophia arrived at home. The car hadn’t even fully come to a stop before Princess Sophia’s eyes widened in utter disbelief. Her head gently turned from left to right, trying to take in everything the perfectly manicured lawn, the fountain in the center that sparkled under the setting sun, the grand double-door entrance that gave off a majestic presence, and the modern villa-style architecture that whispered of elegance, class, and wealth.She didn’t even realize her mouth had parted slightly. For a brief second, she forgot how to breathe.“This…” she muttered under her breath, almost to herself. “This can’t be it.”But it was, as soon as Tyler stepped out of the car and casually walked up the small flight of marble stairs, opening the front gate with a flick of his keycard on the car, Princess Sophia followed behind still in shock.She wasn’t just impressed. No, impressed was too small a word. She was completely stunned.Everything about the home scre

At that moment, hearing what Princess Sophia just said with so much admiration, Tyler let out a quiet breath and slowly shook his head. He tried to keep his voice calm and casual, almost brushing it off.“Well,” he said, “it’s not that difficult. It’s actually very minor… the flow is too thin to detect for someone who hasn’t trained properly. But for me, it wasn’t anything extreme.”He gave a small smile, like he wasn’t trying to boast, just stating the truth. Princess Sophia nodded, but Tyler’s eyes weren’t really focused on her anymore. He had turned inward. His thoughts drifted deeper, and his expression shifted ever so slightly.Because the truth was… it wasn’t just minor.Not to him, not anymore.What Princess Sophia was suffering from it wasn’t something he’d never seen before. In fact, it was almost like looking into a mirror. Her condition, the rapid increase of spiritual energy flowing uncontrollably inside her, was nearly identical to what his own mother had been suffering f
