Chapter Thirty-One "Listen carefully. What if that mysterious woman who publicly claimed Ethan at the charity gala is actually Victoria Chen?"The question hung in the air between them.Drake's heart lurched violently in his chest, his eyes widening with shock. "What are you saying? That's impossible.""No, listen to me," Sarah insisted, leaning closer. "She looks familiar to me—Victoria does. The hair color was different at the gala, the makeup was heavier, the styling was completely different, but the facial features, the voice, the way she carries herself..."She paused, letting Drake process."What if she's the one? What if Victoria Chen was the woman who claimed Ethan that night?"Silence reigned in the car for several long minutes, the only sound the hum of the engine and the muted traffic outside. Then Drake suddenly burst into loud, mocking laughter."Oh, Sarah!" he exclaimed between fits of laughter, looking at her like she'd finally completely lost her mind. "You've finally

Chapter Thirty-Two"Hello, Caleb. I thought I'd pay you a visit. We have so much to discuss.”Caleb Stone gasped audibly, his eyes widening to the point of bulging as recognition and terror crashed over him like a tidal wave. He was staring directly at his greatest nemesis—his darkest nightmare made flesh—standing casually at the foot of his hospital bed.And there was Ethan Cole, clearly enjoying every single second of Caleb's fear and distress.Truthfully, Ethan had no pressing reason to come here tonight to see Caleb. He wasn't here to finish what he'd started or inflict more physical harm. No, his purpose was far more psychological. He'd come to stir things up deliberately, to test whether Caleb still feared him, to prove certain things to the Stone family about his reach and capability.He wanted them to be paranoid. He wanted them to be angry. He wanted them on edge, constantly looking over their shoulders.He was testing the waters—gauging their response capacity, studying how

Chapter Thirty-ThreeSimon pulled up a metal chair, turned it backward, and sat down facing them, his arms crossed casually over the back of the chair."Shall we begin?" he asked, his tone dripping with false courtesy that somehow made the implicit threat even more terrifying.Sarah Wilson squirmed violently in her restraints and shrieked—a high, piercing sound of pure terror. Then she shrieked again. And again.What had she gotten herself into? She was doomed. This was the end. Why did this have to happen to her now, when she was finally soaring higher than she'd ever been? Not now, when everything was starting to look so much better for her life. Not when she'd just bagged the most important deal and position she'd ever achieved. Not when she'd just become officially affiliated with B Corporation.Why did her life have to end now, just when it was beginning?Tears streaked down her face in hot rivulets as she started wailing loudly, her voice echoing off the concrete walls."No!" sh

Chapter Thirty-Four"Who is this man—Ethan Cole, or whatever his name is? Tell me everything. Where does he live? What's his background? How did he get into the gala? What's his connection to you both?"Simon Stone leaned forward, his casual demeanor not quite hiding the predatory intensity underneath."Start talking. And don't leave anything out.""He's a deadbeat," Drake Hastings began immediately, the words spilling out in a rush. "A complete nobody. A loser. Absolutely useless and foolish. So full of himself despite having nothing to back it up. He's pathetic, really."Drake Hastings was practically tripping over his own words in his eagerness to betray Ethan Cole and sell him off.Simon's eyebrow raised skeptically. "This is the man who beat up the heir to the Stone family?" His tone turned dangerous. "Are you trying to insult us? Make fools of us?"Drake's eyes widened in panic. "No! No, I'm not insulting you at all! That's exactly why I said he's foolish—he oversteps his bounda

Chapter Thirty-FiveOn the VIP floor of Boston General Hospital, Mr. Stone stepped out of the elevator with purposeful, angry strides. His expensive shoes clicked sharply against the polished marble floor as he hurried toward Caleb's room, his face a mask of barely controlled fury.The two guards stationed by the door stood rigidly at attention, tension radiating from every muscle in their bodies. They knew—they both absolutely knew—that they had fucked up catastrophically.One of them turned to his partner, his voice tight with anger and rising panic. “But you said you received a message that Caleb Stone was expecting a visitor!” he hissed through gritted teeth. “You showed me the notification!”His jaw clenched so hard it looked painful. Mr. Stone might decide to end them both right here, right now, because of this mistake. The Stone family was ruthless—legendary for their brutality. And this couldn’t be dismissed as a small error. Endangering the Stone family heir, allowing an unau
Chapter 36
Chapter Thirty-SixMr. Stone strode into the hospital director's office with barely contained fury, only to find the room empty—no one sitting behind the large mahogany desk, no assistant present, nothing."Where is the director?" he boomed angrily, his voice echoing off the walls.Without waiting for an answer that wouldn’t come, he yanked out his phone and placed a call. The director picked up on the first ring, clearly having been alerted that Mr. Stone was in the building."Get here immediately," Mr. Stone ordered sharply, then ended the call without waiting for a response.He turned to face the two guards who stood sheepishly and meekly near the doorway, their bodies visibly trembling with fear. They looked like condemned men awaiting execution—which, in a very real sense, they might be."You two had one job," Mr. Stone said, his voice dangerously calm now, which was somehow more terrifying than his earlier shouting. "Just one single job—to protect my son and keep unauthorized gu
Chapter 37
Chapter Thirty-Seven Mr. Stone strode toward Caleb's hospital room with measured, angry steps. New guards had been stationed outside the door—replacements for the failures who'd allowed the breach. These men stood rigid and at full attention, their posture military-precise, clearly not ready to make the same mistakes their predecessors had.They'd heard what happened to the previous guards. They'd been sent directly to Simon Stone for punishment, and that knowledge alone was enough to bring terror and heightened focus to every security member in the building.The new guards stood like statues, their nerves on edge, goosebumps raising the hair on their arms despite the climate-controlled hallway. Their attention was laser-focused on every sound, every movement, every shadow.As Mr. Stone approached, they visibly tensed further, barely suppressing the urge to flinch. They quickly moved aside to create a clear path for him to enter. One guard, eager to demonstrate attentiveness, even re

Chapter Thirty-Eight Ethan Cole stood alone in the elevator as it descended smoothly toward Victoria Chen's floor. He scrolled through his phone, reading various messages his subordinates had sent throughout the previous night—status updates, surveillance reports, intelligence briefings.He hadn't gone in to interrogate the hired thugs they'd captured during the charity gala. After reviewing the preliminary reports, he'd decided to postpone that visit to another day since the men weren't revealing anything particularly tangible or useful anyway.They genuinely weren't well-informed about the larger operation. They simply carried out whatever orders they received, with no direct familiarity with who had actually hired them or why. Their communications and payment arrangements were heavily encrypted and compartmentalized—classic operational security.Well, leave it to the Stone family to be meticulously careful. A family that large, that powerful, and that deeply entrenched in both leg

Chapter Thirty-NineVictoria Chen walked in through B Corporation's impressive main entrance, her heels clicking against the polished marble floor with confident rhythm. Ethan Cole followed several steps behind, deep in his own thoughts, his expression contemplative.He looked around the expansive lobby carefully, scanning faces and expecting at any moment to see Sarah Wilson and Drake Hastings pop out from somewhere—probably rushing toward him to create some manufactured confrontation just to please their fragile egos and assert their newfound importance.His eyes flicked methodically across the reception area, the waiting spaces, the corridor entrances. But he didn't see any familiar faces. No Sarah. No Drake.Weird, he thought, his face scrunching up slightly in confusion.He'd genuinely been expecting them to be here bright and early the next morning, practically camping outside Victoria's office, eager to capitalize on their new partnership status and make demands. But there was

Chapter Forty Caleb Stone was wheeled into the imposing Stone family mansion, sitting imperiously in a hospital-grade wheelchair. He’d positioned himself comfortably in the chair, adamantly refusing to walk on his own two legs despite being physically capable of doing so with some discomfort.Why would he walk when he could be wheeled around instead? Being rolled in on a wheelchair was so much more comfortable and, frankly, more fitting for someone of his status who’d just been hospitalized. It sent a message: he was injured, he was important, he deserved accommodation.The small entourage of household staff pushed him smoothly across the marble entrance hall, their footsteps and the wheelchair’s rubber wheels the only sounds in the vast space. But then they encountered an immediate problem that brought their progress to an abrupt halt.The grand staircase.The massive double staircase that curved elegantly up to the second floor was beautiful—a stunning architectural feature of the
