"Boss.. that's not true..I swear..I severed his heart with my hand..I killed him with my own hands." Nikolai stuttered, clueless on how Zane was still alive when he remembered he murdered him with his own hands.But this man standing across from him wasn't a ghost. He was flesh and blood."That is true, Boss Romano.." One of the men who dumped Zane's body into the Sea confirmed to Nikolai's statement, his voice shaking with confusion that only deepened without understanding the situation.Romano looked away from them to Zane, staring at him intently. "Who are you?" His voice carrying across the room. "Do you have an idea of the room you just walked into?" "Wrong question, Romano." Zane retorted, his voice slow, smooth and even. "You should ask why I'm here— to kill you.""You rude brat!!" Nikolai hissed, spit flying from his mouth. "How dare you speak to Boss with that filthy disrespectful mouth of yours." Zane scoffed, shaking his head, looking at Nikolai up and down. "You never c

""""""""""""""""BANG!!The bullet rang out with a deafening echoed that shook the entire building.The bullet that should have lodged into Tara's back drove into Zane's back as he spun around Tara around, covering her with his body, forming a shield from the bullet.Zane groaned slightly but he didn't fall. He leaned over Tara slightly, Tara was tilted, face up, balanced in his arm. He blinked in shock. The entire room seemed to freeze before her eyes.Zane was bleeding from his back yet he wasn't showing he was affected in his expression.Romano narrowed his eyes to them. He had Intended to shoot Tara originally before Zane took the bullet for her. The situation surprised him but it disappeared immediately. What was more shocking?Before his eyes— Zane gently lifted Tara back to her feet. He didn't let go of her hand as he pushed her behind his back, facing the opponents with a cold dangerous expression.Tara's eyes dilated, shock and panic flashing through her eyes seeing the blo

"""""""""Romano burst into shoking laughter on the floor. His finger pointed at Zane angrily."Have you gone mad?!! Do you no whom you're speaking to disrespectfully? You open your gutter and order Salvatore Petrov to knee? You're mad?!!" As soon as he finished, Zane already became bored by his yapping. He drove his knee to his face. The impact echoed with a sharp crack of Romano nasal bone shattering. Blood poured from there while he stumbled into the littered floor, holding his bleeding nose painfully. "My nose..my nose... it's bleeding.." He screamed in pain.Zane looked away from him and turned to look at Salvatore. "I won't repeat myself the second time." He said firmly, his expression solid. "On your knee. Apologize!" His voice was commanding.Tara walked to the scene, her arm around Zane's arm."Zane..can we stop now...I don't want trouble for us. This man he's dangerous. He's going to keep coming back with his men. We are just nobody without any connections or power to st

Across the city at the Blackthorn's house, Alexander Blackthorn burst into the house with force that nearly unhinged the door.He stopped, his cold eyes sweeping across the floor. His securities were sprawling on the ground, groaning in pain and there was no sign of the Kid he captured in the room.His jaw tightened with anger."What in the God name happened in this place." He hissed, his voice cutting through the room angrily. "Where the fuck is the kid?" One bodyguard carried himself up from the ground, clutching his broken arm painfully."Master Blackthorn," he stammered, "we didn't know what suddenly happened... after you received the call and left....tear gases were thrown inside the building and we were attacked by unknown men— we couldn't see them. They dropped everyone and took the girl." Alexander's eyes darkened instantly."You piece of shit!!" He spat and swung a kick to the man's leg. His knee Buckled and gave out to the floor with a sharp crack. The man kowtowed deeply,
