Upon hearing the report, Antonio’s fury erupted like a storm. His fists slammed against the dashboard of the vehicle, the sound reverberating through the tense silence. How on earth could they even think of using Matilda for experiments? The thought churned his stomach and ignited a fire in his chest. These people weren’t just criminals—they were monsters!“Let’s move,” Antonio growled with a low and dangerous voice. His men needed no further orders. They were tense, and the fear of Matilda’s fate only made them more determined.Without wasting another second, the convoy sped through the darkened streets with headlights slicing through the night. Their target was the pharmaceutical facility where Matilda was being held which was a cold, clinical building with high walls and reinforced gates, that it looked less like a hospital and more like a fortress of horrors.Within a short while, they arrived there.As expected, security was heavy. A line of guards stood firmly by the gate

Antonio stood his ground, glaring at the CEO as the noisy reception slowly grew quiet. Fearful whispers spread through the room, but Antonio’s voice was sharp and commanding.“I came here for my sister, Matilda!” he declared.“She was brought here not long ago. And hear me well—I will not leave this place unless she is released to me! If you refuse, I swear, every single person in this building will pay for standing in my way. Every one of you will be down, and this entire company will burn to the ground before I walk out of here without her.”His words slammed into the room like thunderclaps. For a moment, it seemed as though the walls themselves shook under the weight of his fury.Staff members froze in disbelief, their eyes darting between him and the CEO.The receptionist blinked rapidly with her trembling hands clutching the edge of the desk as if bracing for impact. Other employees exchanged wary glances, each silently asking the same question.Who the hell is this man?Did h

The door to the room Matilda was being kept, creaked open, and Antonio’s chest tightened the moment his eyes fell on her.Matilda lay on a narrow bed with her face pale and her breaths shallow. Wires and tubes snaked around her fragile frame, but it was the wounds—fresh cuts, bruises, and needle marks—that made Antonio’s jaw clench with fury. Her arms bore angry red welts where restraints had bitten into her skin. Her ankles were bruised and her lips were dry and cracked. Even from the doorway, Antonio could see she had been readied for a dangerous experiment that would have stolen her life.“Matilda…” he called as he stepped inside. Matilda's eyelids fluttered, and for a fleeting second, her eyes met his.“Antonio…” she whispered in a weak, hoarse, voice which was just enough to shatter his heart.Antonio turned sharply, facing one of his men.“Pick her up,” he barked.“Yes, boss.”The man rushed forward, gently sliding his arms beneath Matilda’s frail body. “You’re safe now. I

That weekend, the grand auditorium of Duskmire State House brimmed with power and prestige. Flags lined the stage, chandeliers glimmered above, and rows of officials, doctors, governors, and dignitaries filled the seats. It was the long-awaited summit of the National Team of Medical Professionals.When Antonio arrived, the difference in treatment compared to his last invitation was unmistakable.A special protocol team in immaculate black suits approached him the moment his car stopped at the entrance. Unlike the cold stares and dismissive whispers he had endured before, this time the officials greeted him warmly and reverently.“Mr Morris,” one of them said with a deep bow. “This way, please. You have been expected.”Escorted past rows of murmuring onlookers, Antonio was led straight to the very front of the hall. His seat was cushioned, embroidered with the emblem of the nation, and placed directly beside the state governor’s. He noticed how eyes and whispers followed him from

Alder’s face twisted in disbelief as Elaine’s words echoed through the phone. For the first time during their conversation, he felt his pride pricked and his composure cracked.“What nonsense are you saying, Elaine?” Alder barked, his tone harsh, trying to mask the embarrassment boiling within him. “Do you even hear yourself right now? You’re actually defending Antonio, of all people? You’re taking his side against me—your own brother?”Elaine took a deep breath, steadying her voice, even though she was furious within her that Alder was talking out of point. “I’m not speaking nonsense, Alder. I know what I saw. Antonio wasn’t in some random company pretending to be important. It wasn’t some setup. It was a national conference. Do you understand that? A nationally broadcasted conference. Government officials were there, the governor, the president himself. Antonio was not standing at the back pretending. He was right there, at the front, addressing everyone. That’s what I saw wit
