Chapter 51
Chapter Fifty-OneNight had fallen over Boston, darkness enveloping the city like a velvet shroud. But the darkness only made the city more beautiful—glowing lights from towering skyscrapers pierced the night sky, their reflections shimmering in the harbor waters. Boston at night was a spectacle of modern elegance, a testament to power and wealth.Sarah sat some distance away from her house, hidden in the shadows between streetlights, watching the gates with hollow eyes. Maybe when her mother arrived, she would recognize her. Someone had to recognize her eventually.She stared at the house with a longing that physically hurt. If she’d been able to enter earlier, she would have taken a long, hot bath by now. Her maids would be responding to her every whim, taking care of her, pampering her. She’d be preparing for a good night’s rest, trying to process and clear away the traumatic scenes from Simon Stone’s torture chamber.But no.Instead, she was locked out of a house she’d built with

Chapter Fifty-Two“Sarah?” her mother pressed gently, pulling her close again. “Sweetheart, what happened? Tell us. Please.” The desperation in her voice was palpable. “I’m begging you.”But Sarah could only cry harder, wailing loudly, the intensity of her sobs shaking her entire body as her mother pulled her even closer, rocking her like a child.Jake Wilson stood frozen, watching the scene unfold. His fists balled at his sides, his face turning an angry shade of red as rage built inside him like pressure in a sealed container.“How dare Drake Hastings?” he snarled, his voice rising with each word. “I will teach him a lesson today! How dare he touch my sister?” He began pacing, seething with barely controlled fury. “You should have told us you were having a hard time, sister. You should have called us!”He moved toward the door, his stride aggressive. “Don’t worry, I’m going to deal with him right now. I’m going over there—”Sarah jerked her head up from her mother’s bosom, where Ms.

Chapter Fifty-Three“But first,” Jake said, his voice calmer now but still edged with tension, “you have to tell us everything that happened, sister. Everything. Has Drake Hastings been released too? What exactly went down in there?”Sarah looked at both of them—her mother’s worried face, her brother’s determined expression—and nodded slowly.“Sit down,” she said quietly. “This is going to take a while.”---Twenty minutes later, Sarah finished narrating everything that had happened in the Stone family residence, in that underground torture room directed by Simon Stone himself. She spared no details—the chains, the screaming, the questions, the pain, the fear that she might not survive to see another day.Ms. Wilson lay sprawled on the couch, her breathing coming hard and fast. Her eyes were wide and glassy with shock, her hands fidgeting constantly in her lap. Her expression was horrified, almost traumatized by proxy. Sweat had broken out across her forehead and upper lip despite the

Chapter Fifty-FourCaleb Stone was wheeled down the long corridor in his wheelchair, guided by his personal maid. He sat comfortably enough, though his body still ached from his injuries. Different thoughts ran through his mind as they moved through the Stone mansion—thoughts about his position, his future, and his increasingly troublesome half-brother.They arrived at the front of Mr. Stone’s home office—a heavy oak door that commanded respect and fear in equal measure. The maid stepped forward and knocked once.No response.She knocked again, more firmly this time.“Come in,” a deep voice rumbled from within.The maid opened the door carefully and wheeled Caleb inside. The office was exactly as it always was—dark wood paneling, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, the scent of expensive cigars and old money. After positioning Caleb in front of the massive mahogany desk, the maid bowed slightly and walked out, closing the door behind her with a soft click.Mr. Stone didn’t look up immediate

Chapter Fifty-FiveEthan Cole approached a massive building that loomed against the night sky, its façade illuminated by pulsing neon lights. THE APEX was inscribed on a banner hung high above the entrance—one of Boston’s most exclusive clubs, where power brokers and the city’s elite came to conduct business away from prying eyes.Guards were stationed at the front entrance, their imposing figures monitoring everyone who entered and exited. Ladies in glittering dresses and men in expensive suits streamed in and out, many already drunk and stumbling, clearly out of their senses. They were swimming in excitement, laughter bubbling up from groups huddled near the entrance.But Ethan knew better. Most people who came to clubs like this weren’t here to celebrate—they were here to forget. Drowning their sadness and disappointments in expensive alcohol and temporary company.He was different. He had come here to meet someone important. Several someones, actually.Ethan entered the club, imme

Chapter Fifty-SixEthan Cole and Mr. Devine stepped out of the car in front of an imposing mansion that spoke of generations of accumulated wealth. DEVINE MANSION was inscribed in elegant script above the entrance—understated but unmistakable, the way truly old money preferred to announce itself.They walked through the grand entrance together, their footsteps echoing across the marble floors. Mr. Devine led the way through corridors lined with expensive artwork and antique furniture, finally arriving at his private home office.“I’ll be giving you all of the Chairman’s documents tonight,” Mr. Devine said as they walked. “His keys, the comprehensive map showing all his assets across the entire country, and critical information you’ll need to operate effectively.” He paused, glancing at Ethan. “Tomorrow morning, you’ll go to the Chairman’s company headquarters and officially take your place as the new Chairman and CEO. Tonight, messages will be sent to all employees so they’ll know who
Chapter 57
Chapter Fifty-SevenThe next morning, Ethan Cole stepped through the gleaming glass doors of the Chairman’s company, Apex Consolidated Industries. The building itself was a masterpiece of modern architecture, all steel and glass reaching toward the sky—a monument to power and influence that dominated Boston’s financial district.Apex Consolidated was among the top thriving corporations not just in Boston, but throughout the entire Northeast region of the country. Its influence stretched from New York to Maine, with subsidiary operations and investments touching nearly every major city along the Eastern Seaboard.One of the absolute top companies in Boston. But what else would anyone expect? It was owned by the bearer of the Phoenix Ring—the boss of bosses, the king of both the underground and legitimate business worlds.The moment Ethan entered the lobby, he was met with an impressive sight. Dozens of workers lined up in perfect formation across the expansive marble floor, forming two
Chapter 58
Chapter Fifty-Eight Meanwhile, Ethan entered the Chairman’s office—now his office—and closed the massive double doors behind him. The space occupied an entire corner of the top floor, floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of Boston’s skyline.Pathetic," Ethan muttered under his breath, still thinking about Marcus Devine's entitled outburst in the corridor.Rebecca stood nearby, tablet in hand, waiting patiently for instructions with a professional composure. "Let's begin," Ethan said, moving behind the enormous mahogany desk and settling into the leather chair that had once belonged to the Chairman. The chair seemed to fit him perfectly, as if it had been waiting for him all along.Rebecca immediately sprang into action, her movements efficient and practiced. "I've gathered all the necessary documents and prepared comprehensive briefings on all the information you might need for your first week." She began placing thick folders and bound reports in front of Ethan, organi

Chapter Fifty-Nine "I am Victoria Chen's personal bodyguard," he announced smoothly, completing Victoria's interrupted sentence, but with completely different information than what she'd been about to say.Victoria's eyes widened as she saw him, shock rippling through her carefully maintained composure. Wasn't he out somewhere else? When had he gotten here? How had he arrived so quickly?Sarah and Drake both turned to stare at Ethan, their reactions dramatically different.Sarah's face showed confusion mixed with something that might have been longing—or perhaps disappointment. Her eyes traced over him, taking in the expensive suit, the confident posture, the undeniable presence he commanded.Drake's expression twisted into pure hatred and resentment, his jaw clenching so hard the muscles jumped visibly.And Ethan simply stood there, his face a mask of cold professionalism, his eyes revealing nothing of what he was really thinking.The room crackled with tension, all four people froz

Chapter Sixty“Sarah! Wait!” Drake called out, his voice echoing down the corridor as he rushed after her retreating figure. “Sarah, please! We need to talk!”Sarah heard him calling but didn’t slow down, her heels clicking steadily against the polished floor as she moved toward the elevator with determined strides.Drake ran faster, desperation lending him speed he didn’t normally possess. He couldn’t let her leave like this—not without securing his position first, not without ensuring she remained his access point to everything he needed.“Sarah, please! I’m sorry! For everything!” he shouted, his voice breaking slightly. He didn’t care who heard him now, didn’t care about the curious stares from employees passing by. “Just give me a chance to explain! Give us a chance to fix this!”His words carried the desperation of a drowning man reaching for a lifeline.Sarah finally stopped just before the elevator, her finger hovering over the call button. But she didn’t turn around. She stoo
