Chapter 377
Rose’s mother stood completely still as the news report continued playing in the background. She had stopped listening to the reporter’s voice as a normal person would listen. She was no longer simply hearing a story about the gate, the monsters, the military, or the mysterious man who had appeared inside the danger zone. She was comparing every detail. The man had appeared alone. The man had fought the monsters before the military arrived. The man had moved so quickly that the witnesses could barely follow him. The man had carried a little girl throughout the entire encounter. And Alex had come back to the house with no one else except Little Lily. Rose’s mother’s eyes slowly shifted from the television to the child. Then from Little Lily to Alex. Her face became tense. Everything fit. It did not merely resemble Alex’s situation. It matched it perfectly. The witnesses had not seen the man’s face, but they had seen enough to describe what he had done. They had seen him car

She remembered the warning her friend had given her.She remembered the tremor in his voice.She remembered how quickly he had ended the call.Jefferson had once acted as though he feared no one. He had been confident enough to involve himself in Rose’s life, confident enough to believe that he could influence her decisions, and confident enough to imagine that Alex could be pushed aside.But then something had happened.Something had changed him.He had not merely walked away.He had run.He had abandoned everything and warned others to do the same.Rose’s mother looked toward the hallway.“Could this be the reason?” she asked herself. “Could Alex be the reason Zachariah and Jefferson suddenly ran away for their lives?”Her breathing became heavier.“Could this be why Rose is so confident? Could this be why she trusts him without hesitation? Could this be why Alex himself acts as though nobody can touch him?”She shook her head repeatedly.“What the hell is actually going on?”She wa
Chapter 379
At that moment, Rose’s father stood before Alice with a hesitation that had not been there earlier, because the pride that had once made it easy for him to criticize, judge, and dismiss the man standing in front of him had been stripped away by everything he had witnessed that night, leaving behind nothing except embarrassment, regret, and the difficult realization that he had been wrong about Alice from the very beginning.For several seconds, he did not speak.The cold night air moved quietly around them, carrying the distant sound of emergency vehicles still passing through the city after the gate incident, while the lights from the house behind them spilled across the front path and illuminated both men. Rose’s father looked older than he had earlier that evening. The confidence with which he had once questioned Alice had faded, replaced by the uncomfortable awareness that Alice had every reason not to forgive him.Alex watched him in silence.Then, after allowing the uncomfortabl

At that moment, without wasting another second after hearing the words that Rose's father had just spoken with so much hesitation and shame, Alice looked at him carefully, allowing the silence between them to stretch long enough that Rose's father began to feel uncertain about what Alice might say next, and then, after that uncomfortable pause had made it clear that Alice was not going to respond quickly or easily, Alice finally spoke, his voice calm but filled with the weight of everything that had been done to him over the months and years he had been connected to Rose's family. "In as much as I do not really want to help you," Alice began slowly, "in as much as I feel that you have looked down on me far more than enough, in as much as you have disrespected me repeatedly, in as much as you have made me look like a fool on multiple occasions, in as much as you did not see me as someone who was worthy enough to stand beside your daughter, in as much as you did not consider me to be so
Chapter 381
At that moment in time, Rose's father turned toward his wife with an expression that carried far more weight than mere irritation, because what he felt in that instant was something closer to exhaustion, the kind of exhaustion that settles into a man's bones after years of watching the people he loves tear each other apart over pride, over appearances, over the fear of what other people might think, and he looked at her steadily and said, as he had said to her more than once before, that they had already done more than enough to Alice, that the two of them together had piled insult upon insult, humiliation upon humiliation, until there was nothing left to add without crossing into cruelty that neither of them could later excuse. "We have done more than enough to him," he repeated, and this time his voice did not waver the way it sometimes did when he tried to argue with her, because tonight he was not arguing from uncertainty, he was arguing from something he had finally allowed himse
Chapter 382
The engine hummed to life, and the car pulled away from the house, leaving behind the porch light, the still-glowing television inside, and the two women who remained standing in uneasy silence, one furious and certain of the humiliation to come, the other confused and uncertain of everything she thought she had once understood. The drive itself passed mostly in silence. Rose's father kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, navigating through streets that still bore the marks of the night's chaos, streets lined with flickering emergency lights, occasional patrol vehicles, and the lingering tension of a city that had narrowly avoided catastrophe only hours earlier. Alice sat quietly beside him, watching the passing buildings without any particular urgency in his gaze, as though the destination ahead held no fear for him whatsoever. From time to time, Rose's father glanced sideways at his passenger, opening his mouth as if to say something, only to close it again, uncertain of how to b
Chapter 383
Rose's father sat behind the wheel for one more moment, letting the weight of Alice's calm assurance settle over him the way a blanket settles over a man who has been shivering in the cold for far too long, and something in the steadiness of those words, *you have absolutely nothing to worry about, let's go, I have this under control*, loosened a knot in his chest that had been tightening since the moment he first mentioned the gathering to Alice back at the house, so that when he finally spoke again his voice carried a fraction more courage than it had only seconds before. "Well," he said, exhaling slowly, "no problem there. Let's go ahead." He pushed open the car door and stepped out into the cool night air, adjusting his jacket with hands that had steadied considerably, while Alice stepped out from the passenger side with the same unhurried composure he had carried throughout the entire drive, as though the banquet hall glowing ahead of them were nothing more than an ordinary bu

It was one of these four, a stern-faced man with silver hair and an air of impatience that suggested he did not appreciate having his evening disrupted by delays, who spoke next, his tone shifting from mere amusement into something colder, something more calculated. "Well," he said, folding his hands together on the table in front of him, "since you have been wasting our time, and not just wasting a little of it, but wasting a significant amount of it, you should remember that there is a fine for such behavior. You are aware of this, are you not?" Rose's father blinked, caught off guard by the sudden shift in tone. "You cannot simply keep each and every one of us waiting for you," the man continued, his voice growing firmer with every word. "That is not how this gathering works. You are supposed to pay a fine for wasting our time, and that fine is calculated at ten thousand dollars for every minute you kept us waiting. You arrived ten minutes late, which means the total fine comes t
Chapter 385
At that moment, the silver-haired man who had first announced the fine leaned back in his chair with the unhurried confidence of someone who had never once had his authority questioned within this circle, and he studied Rose's father for a long moment before responding, his tone carrying the particular condescension of a man explaining something obvious to someone he considered slow to understand it."Well," he said, spreading his hands as though the matter were simple enough for a child to grasp, "the decision has been made. This rule was agreed upon the last time we gathered, quite some time ago now, and if my memory serves me correctly, you were not present that day. You gave some excuse, as you always do, and you did not attend. So tell me, how exactly would you remember that such a rule had been agreed upon, when you were not even in the room when we discussed it?"He let the question hang in the air for a moment, watching Rose's father's face carefully, before continuing."You d

The reaction to these words was immediate and explosive.Several of the sons-in-law seated around the table stiffened visibly, their expressions shifting from mild amusement to genuine outrage, and it was one of them in particular, a broad-shouldered man carrying himself with the unmistakable bearing of someone accustomed to significant authority and respect, who rose from his seat first, his chair scraping loudly against the polished floor as he stood.This man was known among certain circles as a five-star King of War, a title that carried tremendous weight and prestige within the hierarchies that governed the world beyond ordinary society, the kind of designation that marked him as someone with real power, someone who had earned respect through demonstrated strength and capability rather than mere inheritance."What in the world are you talking about?" the man demanded, his voice booming across the room with barely restrained fury. "Are you insulting our father-in-law? Are you stan
