Philip felt pleased with the event transpiring in front of him. Unknown to the Walters family, the whole incident was part of his conspiracy. It was all his doing.

Although there was a change in his scheme. Philip had hired those men to drug and take turns with Sonia, he wanted to film it and send to the Walters family, but it didn't go the way as planned.

Sonia managed to escape their hold, ending up in Tyler's arms instead.

Even though the stranger who rescued his fiancee wasn't among the men he hired, Philip was still glad that he was a man.

As soon as the guys from the bar reached out to him about the situation on ground, he immediately went for the next course of action which was acquiring the surveillance footage from the bar through a bribe, bringing the photos down to Walters's home to ruin his engagement to his fiancee.

What more could be expected of a 30 years old bachelor who still lives with his parents and believes marriage is a charade? Disgusting!

Philip hated the fact that his future wife was going to be an ugly disfigured lady that wasn't attractive in anyway. To him, Sonia was so disgusting and would ruin his life with her ugliness. He wanted a woman he could put on show off and take pride in, A display doll.

That's why he made it his goal to end the engagement before it leads to marriage.

"I can't marry such a rebellious lady, who has no regards for her future husband and her family. An unknown person sent this pictures to me. Clearly, it would have been seen by some other eyes," he lamented, posing a broken lover.

Giving out a sigh, Philip said, "I'm really sorry but this engagement is cancelled. I can't marry your Granddaughter, Mr Lewis. I respect you and your family, but this union can not work."

He joined both palms together, lowering his head at Lewis in respect.

And just as he wanted, Lewis accepted his decision with a heavy heart, giving Philip the go ahead to call of the engagement.

"We are sorry for our daughter's illicit act. Please, do forgive us, " Lewis apologized on behalf of Sonia.

This pleased Philip more. He feigned sadness before the Walters's and carefully walked pass them, heading for the exit.

He didn't even look back at the woman he had just tarnished her image before her family. He was filled with happiness, as he marched out of the house with joy.

As soon as he left, Lewis's raging gaze fell back on a weak Sonia on the floor. He tightened his fist in anger and ordered Reno, "Get me my belt."

Sonia gasped knowing fully well what was a about to happen raising her head to look at her grandfather.

Reno obeyed and immediately ran inside to get the belt, while Lewis walked up to a trembling Sonia, giving her the death stare.

Taking a breathe out, he said to his granddaughter, "You know how important this union between the Gil and the Walters family was yet..." He drew closer. "You had the audacity to diagrace us by sleeping around with your secret lover."

"No, I promise, it's nothing like that," Sonia mumbled as tears began flowing down from her eyes, crawling back from her grandfather.

"If it's nothing like that, then how is it it's? Tell me, Sonia!" Lewis yelled.

Sonia began shaking, her fear heightened when Reno arrived with the belt, giving it to Lewis who drew closer to her, tightening his grip on the belt.

"Grandpa, please." She begged.

"This union was meant to help the family's status grow! But what did you do?!" He sparked, launching his belt at Sonia sides, beating her.

She cried, falling on the ground, as more lashes came down on her skin. "Grandfather, please! I'm sorry!!" She cried, trying to get away from Lewis. But he was determined to vent his rage on Sonia for his loss.

"So Ungrateful! Why is everything about you ldifferent?!!" Lewis roared, hitting her again.

“ I was drugged. The man in the picture was just helping me because some men wanted to ta..." A burning sensation interrupted her defense with another lash to the neck, silencing her.

Lewis made sure to hit her until she couldn't move, Sonia curled up on the ground wishing for death. All she wished for was her knight in shining armor to whisk her into his arms but a girl can only dream of such.

Sonia was left in the center of the room, covered in bruises. A loud thud was heard on the door startling everyone. The door was flung open with Philip falling to his feet, beaten to a pulp.

The whole family lifted their gaze and saw two strangers walking into their home behind their supposed ex in-law, glaring at them. That was Tyler and Gabriel, giving a terrifying aura in the home.

"I want to see Sonia Walter." Tyler demanded, drawing closer to the Walters.

His action stunned the whole Walters and made them angry. His audacity disgusted them to the core.

"And who do you think you are barging into our home?" Reno questioned out loudly, stepping forward.

Lewis, who was stunned by Tyler's Audacity, was raged. "Who are you?" He questioned.

Sonia, who was on the ground, lifted her head and saw the two men that stepped into her home. She immediately recognized the man she spent the night with at a hotel.

"What's he doing here? " She stared, noticing Tyler gazing straight at her grandfather fearlessly.

His strength and dominance amused Sonia, who couldn't take her eyes off Tyler.

"I thought he left for good? Has he been... Been following me?" Sonia wondered. Tyler demanding her presence made her feel .. excited. Excited? She couldn't understand if she was happy to see him or the fact that he was saving her from her family's wrath, just the thought of Tyler's visit was enough to bloom the innocent lady's heart.

But what terrified her more was her grandfather, who glared at Tyler and asked, "Young man, do you know where you are?"

Fear engulfed Sonia, who was worried about Tyler's safety. She knows how powerful her family can be, and when someone challenges them, the latter would be ruined for sure.

"He stands no chance against grandfather. He'll be eaten alive," Sonia panicked in her heart, glancing back at Tyler.

"Wait, aren't you the same man in the photo with Sonia? " Reno recognized, alerting the whole family, including Lewis.

They all gasped, flashing at the picture Philip had tossed at them, getting enraged even more.

"He's the one!"

"The shameless bastard that ruined our family's chance to a better future! It's you!"

"You even had the guts to barge into our home after what you did?!" The whole family groaned, ready to pounce on Tyler and Gabriel.

Sonia was scared. She felt like stepping in to save Tyler from her family, but after the beating she received, moving comfortably seemed impossible.

Her grandfather immediately called out to his bodyguards, ordering them to deal with the unwanted guest.

"WHERE ARE THE GUARDS?!" He roared out, stamping his feet hard on the floor.

And to their surprise, the guards came into the house bruised, leaping with pains and bleeding faces.

This stunned the whole family, who wondered what had happened to their guards. But their answer was gotten when the guards saw Tyler and drifted back in fear.

"What are you doing there? GET THIS FOOL OUT OF MY PROPERTY!" Lewis ordered, ignoring their injuries. But their refusal sent a message to the old man immediately.

"No, he's dangerous."

"Look at what they did to us, " The guards complained, drifting further away.

When the whole Walters saw this, they were in disbelief that a man like Tyler was capable of taking out all their guards with no scratch on him.

Sonia was amused. Her face slowly came bright, admiring Tyler's bravery. But she became troubled, because of Tyler's action. "This is bad," She panicked.

Little did she know that her family were scared of Tyler after seeing the guards’ state.

To save Tyler from getting into any more trouble, Sonia crawled to their mist and began to plead with her family, mostly at Lewis, to forgive Tyler for his actions.

"Please, forgive him. Don't punish him, I beg of you, " She begged, lowering her head at Lewis. But this only irritated the old man deeply.

He wasn't just scared of Tyler's strength and martial skills, but raged that he was being challenged in his own home.

And to him, it was all because of Sonia. She's the cause of this embarrassment.

Tyler couldn't help but feel sad for Sonia, that sadness soon turned to rage.

“Who did this to you?” He asked lightly above a whisper as he checked out her injuries.

Out of anger, Lewis pulled Sonia away from Tyler in an attempt to slap his granddaughter, but that only worsened Tyler's mood. His hand was caught by Tyler midair, stopping him from hitting Sonia!

Lewis's body shook at Tyler's grip. He looked into the young man's eyes, frightened by his aura.

"You will do no such thing to her, " He said, tightening his grip around Lewis's wrist.

Recalling the young man's skills, the old man maintained his mood, hid his fear and asked with anger, "Then what? What will you do to me? Beat me up like you did to my men?!"

Tyler said nothing but carefully released his grip on Lewis. The old man drifted back, holding his wrist while glancing at both Sonia and her so-called lover.

Provoked, he said to Sonia, "So, you called your lover to challenge your own family, isn't that right?"

Sonia swayed her head, trying to get her grandfather to listen to her. But the old man was too furious to hear a thing.

Right there, he asked to Tyler, "You came to marry my granddaughter, that's why you ruined her engagement with her fiance, isn't it?"

He grinned at him, chuckling out. He pushed her into Tyler's arms saying loudly, "TAKE HER! SHE'S ALL YOURS NOW! From now on, she's your wife. You can take your worthless slut of a wife and get out of my house!"

Sonia gasped, shocked by her grandfather's decision on her.

"Don't you ever step foot in this place, Sonia. From now on, you are dead to us. DEAD!" Lewis roared, tossing his belt to the floor.

    Tyler slammed his fists into the ground, fire erupting around him in a searing circle. The earth groaned under the force, cracks spreading outward like veins. He roared, the sound raw, his frustration drowning out every rational thought. Sophia was gone, dragged away before his eyes, and he’d failed to stop it.Gabriel’s voice crackled over the communicator lodged in Tyler’s earpiece. “Tyler, do you copy? Maya says the portal collapsed. What’s the situation?”“Get me back!” Tyler growled, standing amidst the scorched earth. His flames flickered wildly, uncontrolled. “She’s been taken.”“By who?” Gabriel’s tone sharpened, urgency lacing his words.Tyler took a deep breath, forcing the fire back into submission. He scanned the empty void around him. The towering creature he’d fought moments ago was gone, leaving nothing but a faint residue of dark energy. “I don’t know yet. But I’m going to find out.”“You need to return first,” Maya cut in. “Whatever plane you’re in won’t hold you for

    Sophia stepped back, her heart pounding as the figures advanced. Their shapes wavered in the crimson haze, shifting between grotesque forms with limbs too long and faces half-hidden by shadow. Their whispers grew louder, incomprehensible, yet they pressed against her mind like knives.“Stay back!” she shouted, her voice trembling. She glanced around, searching for any sign of an escape, but the terrain offered no refuge. It was an expanse of jagged ground, the sky above swirling in unnatural patterns.The closest figure stopped, tilting its head like a curious predator. “You don’t know, do you?” Its voice was both a hiss and a growl.“Know what?” Sophia forced the words out, her throat dry.Another stepped forward, its clawed hand reaching out. “What you are.”Sophia moved instinctively, raising her arms as if to shield herself. A sharp, electric force exploded from her palms, throwing the figure backward. It shrieked, its form dissolving into mist before the others recoiled.She star

The figure had taken her, disappearing in that blinding light.Gabriel’s voice crackled over the comm in Tyler’s pocket. “I’m outside. What’s happening?”Tyler snatched the comm out. “They took her. Sophia’s gone.”A pause. Then Gabriel’s steady voice came through. “We’ll find her. Do you have a lead?”Tyler turned back to the empty room, his jaw tight. “They’re playing games. Whoever it was, they know exactly what she is—and what she means to me.”“Do you think it’s Mary?”“No.” Tyler paced, his eyes scanning the ground. “She doesn’t have the magic to pull something like this off. This is bigger.” His foot hit something metallic. He crouched, picking up a small, engraved coin. The symbol etched into it sent a chill down his spine. “Gabriel, get in here. Now.”Seconds later, Gabriel burst thro

    “You’ve been busy, Tyler,” Mary’s voice came through the phone, smooth but edged with calculation.Tyler paced the length of his study, his hand tightening around the phone. “Get to the point, Mary.”“Such hostility,” she said, feigning innocence. “We’re both smart enough to know this war isn’t ending with Philip. You took my father. You have my brother. But we both know there’s more at play here.”Tyler’s jaw clenched. “What do you want?”“A meeting,” Mary replied, her tone dropping to something sharper. “Tonight. I’ll text you the location. Alone.”“You think I’d trust you?”She laughed softly. “Trust? Don’t insult me. But I think you’ll show up because if you don’t, things might get messy for someone you care about.”Tyler’s eyes narrowed. “Sophia has nothing to do with this.”“Doesn’t she?” Mary’s voice was a loaded question. “See you tonight, Dragon Marshal.”The line went dead.Tyler tossed the phone onto his desk, his chest tight with unease. Gabriel entered the room just as he
