				CHAPTER 41 YOUNG MASTER
			
Thomas and Linda were still being escorted away from the gate when Linda's eyes suddenly lit up. She grabbed Thomas's arm frantically, pointing down the street."THERE! That's him! That's Trevor Mitchell!"A young man was walking toward the gate—perhaps twenty-eight years old, dressed in expensive designer clothes, his hair slicked back with too much product. Everything about him screamed wealth and arrogance, from his gold watch to his designer shoes.But there was something else too. Something that made people instinctively step back when he passed. A coldness in his eyes. A predatory quality to his smile."MR. MITCHELL!" Thomas shouted, breaking free from the security guard's grip. "Trevor! Over here!"Trevor Mitchell—though everyone who knew him called him by his middle name, Nigel—turned slowly, his expression one of mild annoyance at being addressed so familiarly by obvious social inferiors."Who are you?" His voice was smooth but carried an edge of contempt."We're the Jacksons
				CHAPTER 42 BROKE MY LEG
			
Nigel's eyes shifted to Darius, really seeing him for the first time. "And who exactly are YOU? Her boyfriend? Her protector?" He laughed. "You look like a beggar. Like dirt someone scraped off their shoes. You're not going to protect anyone.""Alessia doesn't need to be grateful," Nigel continued, turning back to her. "But she WILL marry me. Within the month. I'll send the details to your family. Be ready.""No," Darius said, his voice like ice. "She won't. She's refused. That's the end of it."Nigel's face flushed red. "Did you just— Did you actually just tell ME no? Do you have ANY idea who I am? What I can DO to people who cross me?""I know exactly what you've done," Darius replied calmly. "Fourteen wives, all dead under suspicious circumstances. You're not a man. You're a monster in an expensive suit.""MONSTER?" Nigel's composure finally cracked. "How DARE you! I should—GUARDS!"Four large men in black suits materialized from near the gate—Nigel's personal bodyguards, clearly u
				CHAPTER 43 PUNISHMENT
			
The thirty thugs surged forward like a wave, but it was a wave crashing against a cliff. Darius moved with terrifying efficiency—each strike precise, each movement economical.Within seconds, five men were on the ground, groaning. Within thirty seconds, fifteen more had joined them.Aria fought beside him, her strikes just as devastating. The thugs weren't trained fighters—they were street muscle, used to intimidating ordinary people, not facing warriors who'd survived real combat.Gabriel Portman watched his hired force crumble with growing horror and rage. His face twisted, and suddenly his hand dove inside his jacket, emerging with a small pistol—a .38 caliber, chrome-plated, the kind of weapon rich men carried to feel powerful."ENOUGH!" Gabriel pointed the gun at Darius with a shaking hand. "Stop RIGHT THERE or I'll SHOOT!"Darius paused mid-strike, letting his current opponent collapse to the ground. He turned slowly to face Gabriel, and the older man actually took a step backwa
				CHAPTER 44 MERCY
			
Thomas and Linda, still watching from outside the gate, exchanged horrified glances.This was escalating far beyond anything they'd imagined. Tom Harrison's name carried weight—real weight.If he sided with the Portman family...A sleek black car pulled up within minutes, tires screeching. Tom Harrison emerged, his expression grim and purposeful. He'd clearly driven here at dangerous speeds, responding to Gabriel's urgent call."Gabriel!" Tom called out as he approached the gate. "What's going on? You said—"He stopped mid-sentence. His gaze had swept across the scene and landed on Darius, who stood calmly amid the pile of defeated thugs.Tom Harrison's face went white as fresh snow."Oh God," he whispered. "Oh no. No, no, no.""Tom!" Gabriel rushed toward him, relief flooding his features. "Thank God you're here! This man—this CRIMINAL—he attacked my son! Broke his leg! Beat up my men! He's trespassing in YOUR development! I want him arrested! I want him DESTROYED!"Tom didn't respon
				CHAPTER 45 PART 1
			
Villa Number 001 was everything Tom Harrison had promised and more.The interior was a masterpiece of modern design—soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of manicured gardens, furniture that looked like it belonged in a museum.Eight bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom.A kitchen that could serve a restaurant. A media room, a gym, an indoor pool.Alessia wandered through the space like she was walking through a dream, her fingers trailing along marble countertops and silk curtains, unable to quite believe this was real.Emma had been settled immediately into one of the ground-floor bedrooms—the doctors Tom had sent over insisted she needed rest, proper nutrition, and time to recover from her ordeal.Aria stayed close to her sister, unwilling to let her out of sight.Darius found Alessia standing in what would be her bedroom—a space larger than her entire previous house, with a balcony overlooking the gardens and a bathroom with a soaking tub that could fit
				CHAPTER 45 PART 2
			
More whips fell. More screams rose into the night air. Blood began staining the wooden racks, running down in crimson streams.Haley's face went pale. "What in God's name—"A commanding officer—a Captain by his insignia—stood overseeing the punishment, his expression cold and impassive. He noticed Haley and Peter approaching and turned to face them."This is a military operation," the Captain said sharply. "Civilians need to leave immediately.""What are you DOING to these people?" Haley demanded, her voice shaking despite her attempt at authority. "This is barbaric! This is—""This is punishment," the Captain interrupted coldly. "Authorized and ordered by the War God himself."The title hung in the air like a thunderclap. Peter's face went white."The... the War God?" he managed to say."Yes," the Captain confirmed. "These individuals committed serious offenses. They trafficked a human being for profit. They sold their own family member to organ harvesters. They valued money over the

The sedan continued speeding through the night, putting distance between them and the horrific scene at the Stormveil estate.But inside the car, the atmosphere had shifted dramatically—from terror to something else entirely.Haley's eyes had gone wide, but not with fear anymore. With realization. With hope."Wait," she breathed, grabbing Peter's arm. "Wait, wait, WAIT. Think about this!""Think about WHAT?" Peter demanded, still pale from what they'd witnessed. "We just watched people being tortured by military forces! We—""Exactly!" Haley interrupted, her voice rising with excitement. "Military forces! Acting on the War God's orders! Punishing the Stormveil family!"Peter stared at her like she'd lost her mind. "How is that a GOOD thing?!""Don't you SEE?" Haley's hands were trembling now, but with excitement rather than fear. "The War God is punishing the Stormveils! He's torturing them! He clearly has a GRUDGE against that family!""So?" Peter still looked confused."So Aria Stor

"Two million was a lot of money," Peter admitted, "but it's proving to be the best investment we ever made. With the War God on our side, Kane is finished. That arrogant bastard who humiliated us, who threatened us, who ruined our wedding—he's going to regret everything.""He already regrets it, he just doesn't know it yet," Haley said with malicious satisfaction. "He attacked us thinking he was safe, thinking he had power. But he doesn't realize that we have the backing of the most powerful military commander in the country!"Peter pulled out his phone, scrolling through old messages. "Charles Wesley told us the War God would arrive in Duskfort within a month of our payment. That was three months ago. The timeline matches perfectly—the War God DID come, just later than expected!""And the first thing he does is attack the family connected to our enemies," Haley added. "That's not coincidence. That's coordination. The Wesley family must have briefed him on our situation, told him who 
				CHAPTER 47 PART 1
			
Peter and Haley swept into the Reksar family estate with renewed energy, their earlier fear completely replaced by confidence and anticipation.The main hall was lit with crystal chandeliers, and servants hurried about preparing refreshments."Sir, madam," the head butler approached immediately. "You have a visitor waiting in the reception hall. He arrived about an hour ago.""A visitor?" Peter's eyebrows rose. "At this hour? Who—""He says he's from the Wesley family, sir. A Mr. Thomas Wesley."Peter and Haley exchanged excited glances. "The Wesley family! Already! They must have heard we wanted to speak with them!"They practically ran to the reception hall, their footsteps echoing on the marble floors.Inside, a man stood with his back to them, examining a painting on the wall with apparent disinterest.Thomas Wesley turned as they entered, and immediately, Haley felt a flicker of disappointment.He was perhaps forty years old, average height, with a soft physique that suggested he

"We thought—we assumed—" Haley stammered. "The punishment of the Stormveil family. We saw it tonight. Military forces, torture, the War God's orders. We thought—"Understanding dawned on Thomas's face, followed by more cruel amusement. "Oh, you thought WE arranged that? You thought the Wesley family commanded the War God to attack your enemies?""Didn't you?" Peter asked, confusion evident.Thomas laughed so hard he had to brace himself against a chair. "Oh, that's PRECIOUS! You actually think the Wesley family can just ORDER the War God around like some servant? The War God doesn't work FOR anyone except the government! He's not some hired thug we can point at our problems!""But you said—" Haley protested weakly."I said we have CONNECTIONS," Thomas corrected, his laughter subsiding. "Connections meaning we know people who know people who might be able to get a message to him if the stars align and he's in a good mood. We don't CONTROL him, you idiots!"The hope that had been buildi
