Logan had never been in a relationship with any woman before. In fact, he'd never even had the time to fall in love. His entire life had been consumed by survival and working as hard as he could.Now, he found himself with a woman who had become his girlfriend at the very moment they had been facing death together.To Logan, Diana was beautiful, intelligent, and came from an influential family.He hadn't given their relationship much serious thought, but he didn't mind anything Diana did."Can you cook?" Logan asked, quietly watching her as she busied herself around the kitchen.Diana was tying on an apron. She simply nodded.Lori stepped forward. "Miss, please let me prepare lunch."But Diana refused to hand over the knife she was holding. "Don't worry. I'm a good cook."With a small gesture, Logan signaled for Lori to step back. Not long afterward, he watched as Diana skillfully prepared lunch.She made steak with sautéed vegetables, and the aroma was incredible. Even from where he

Jamia still refused to accept the situation. He stared at Logan, his brows knitting together in frustration.He raised his injured hand and pointed a finger at Logan.“Ah, you're lying!”He couldn't accept Logan's explanation. Even as he shouted anxiously, Logan continued to look at him with calm, unshaken eyes.Then Jamia took out his phone and called Erica.“Why isn't she answering my calls?”He immediately turned to Logan.“You're the one who told her not to answer me, aren't you?”Logan merely shrugged, his expression blank.The man standing in front of him really did resemble Erica.Far too talkative.Jamia dialed Erica's number again, nervously biting his thumbnail as the phone rang.After several attempts, his expression suddenly changed.“Hello, Erica! I'm with the man who's been forcing you! He says you've been gambling!”He shouted into the phone over and over, while at the same time doing his best to keep Logan from walking away.A short while later, the two of them were si

The grand front door swung open, and Kei stepped inside with a broad smile on his face.The two people sitting in the living room immediately stood up when they saw him."Kei, you're finally home, sweetheart." Ellen hurried over and wrapped him in a tight embrace."Mom, I missed you." Kei hugged his mother back.A moment later, they all took their seats. Blake, clearly pleased by his son's return, set his phone aside. He had been occupied with countless matters over the past several days.As Kei let out a sigh, Blake, who had been watching him the whole time, finally spoke."What's on your mind?""Dad, we're rich, aren't we?" Kei asked. "Especially after we took over the wealth from your worthless brother."Ellen chuckled as she gently tapped the tip of her son's nose."That's right. Everything went exactly according to our plan. If that boy were still alive, it would have been much harder to get our hands on his inheritance."Her expression shifted as she rolled her eyes with open di

In the middle of the night, with only limited light illuminating the area, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the darkness. The barking of dogs accompanied the group as they advanced."The prey count is currently thirty-one. We have to eliminate every last one of them!"Ben shouted loudly. The darkness of the night did nothing to slow them down.Kei glanced at Mason, who was carrying a long-barreled rifle. As they sprinted forward at full speed, one of the hunters in their group fired a shot."Hit! I got one of our targets!"Everyone came to a stop and looked toward the woman who had just collapsed, dragging her injured leg behind her. Her breath came in ragged gasps from the unbearable pain."Please! Spare me!" Tears mixed with dirt and blood on her face."Please..." she begged again, her hands trembling.The muzzle of a gun was aimed directly at her. The man standing before her looked down at her with cold, emotionless eyes.A single gunshot rang out.The woman collapsed

In the eastern region, the Melvis family estate had been shrouded in tension for the past three days.Ellen paced back and forth restlessly, unable to calm herself for even a moment.She only stopped when exhaustion forced her to, but even then, her thoughts never strayed from her son."Something's wrong. Kei has never been like this." She turned to Blake. "He hasn't contacted us for three days!" she shouted."Don't overreact. Calm down. I've already sent people to check if something happened over there."He might not have looked as worried as his wife, but deep down, he was just as anxious about their son. He had already dispatched trusted men to investigate the situation and was now waiting for their report.Not long after, his phone rang, and Blake immediately answered it."Sir, there's no one here. The place is a complete mess... and there are a lot of bodies.""Bodies!? What bodies?" Blake shot to his feet the moment he heard those words.Fear instantly gripped him. As his hand t
