" Who is that?" Rossa asked immediately I dropped the call. " My mother." I said staring at the metallic object in my hand. Rossa squeezed his face. " And what does she want?" The air felt tense the moment he asked. " She wants to see me. That was all she said." I replied absent mindedly. " Just that?" Rossa's face changed colour. " How am I supposed to know? We haven't talked in a lot while. she called me now and said it was of great importance." " You can always turn her down, Jason. You have been doing fine all this while." Rossa replied I sigh. He was right. I had managed to do things on my own ever since she told me Zack was my father. I was not sure why she said it or if what she said was true. I knew Zack was not my father. He can never be. " She is my mother, Rossa. I know that we have our difference but I can't just turn her down." I said with my brows squeezed. " You are right but what if this was a trap? She married Zack, Jason. Don't you forg

I, Alex and Rossa sat round a big table. Each of us were busy trying to sort out one or two things. "Wow!" Alex said out loud. His eyes slowly darting towards me. " I can't believe you allowed him grow this strong." he said resting bhs back against the chair he sat on My eyesbrows furrowed a bit as I looked at him. " Do you think this is easy for me?" The room went quiet the moment I said those words. " Do you think I wanted a life were I had to be a hero and safe the day? Do you know how long I had to live in the dark trying to find out who I really want?" Alex shrugged. " It is quite simple, is not? You had what you had in you. Do you know how many would die to have what you had? A system that gives you immense power and also grant you a lot of money." Rossa laughed. " What would you have done with a power like that?" he asked " Are you seriously asking me thay? Look at this map, Rossa. Zack has all the positions. Talk about money,men in high places and even soldiers. He
Chapter ninety seven
Martha was a bit thrown back. The look on her face showed that she was scared. She had stabbed the man standing right in front of him and he had managed to come back from the land of the dead. " And what happens to him if he gives you the core?" she asked with a shaky breath. Zack stood up slowly from Martha's side. A soft smile displayed on his lips. " Are you saying that you are going to do this for me?" he asked, his hands slowly running through his hairs. Martha gulped down the saliva at the back of her throat. She knew Zack had shown his last card. Saying no to his was like she as signing her right to life. She needed to hold onto something. She needs to let him know that she was on his side. The room went quiet. Her gaze slowly fixed on Zack. " If I managed to convince him adhe give you what you want, do we become a family?" Zack rushed forward, his hands cupping Martha's fragile's face. "Yes. Yes!" he said laughing. " We are going to become one big
Chapter ninety six
Martha did not feel herself hit the ground. Darkness swallowed her whole, thick and absolute, like the silence that had followed Zack’s final breath. She woke to the sound of steady beeping. Not the kind that came from a hospital monitor. Her eyelids felt heavy, as if glued shut. When she finally forced them open, the world above her blurred into white and gold. A chandelier. Not hers. His. Her heart slammed violently against her ribs. She was still in the house. The air smelled faintly of antiseptic and polished marble. She tried to sit up but something tugged at her wrists. Straps. Leather. Panic ignited instantly. She jerked against them, her breath turning sharp and ragged. “No… no, no, no—” “Easy.” The voice sliced through her like ice. She froze. Slowly, painfully, she turned her head. Zack stood by the window. Alive. Dressed in a fresh black shirt, sleeves rolled to his forearms, his posture relaxed as if they were discussing dinner plans. Not murder. Her

Martha’s fingers trembled as they wrapped around the knife.It was heavier than she expected. She had never imagined this was going to come on a platter of gold. For years she had imagined this moment in a thousand different ways. Sometimes she stabbed him in his sleep.Sometimes she poisoned his wine. Sometimes she simply walked away and left him to rot in his own empire of silence.But never like this.Never with him standing in front of her.Inviting it.Zack watched her with unsettling calm.No fear.No attempt to move.Only that infuriating, knowing look in his eyes.“You hesitate,” he said softly. " I thought you never cared? All this years of living under my roof, I had thought you are going to welcome the thought of sending me to the afterlife and now this?" he said laughing. “You think this is a game?” she whispered.“No,” he replied. “I think this is the only honest moment we’ve ever had. I know you want me dead. I know you want to kill me and now I am giving you the chanc

The drive to the estate felt longer than usual.Zack sat in the backseat with the bouquet resting beside him, one hand loosely draped over the white peonies as if they were something delicate he needed to restrain. Purple orchids curved through the arrangement like veins of royalty—elegant, expensive, controlled.Just like everything he built.Except Jason. Things had escalated before he realised he was the last missing puzzle to solving all his problems. The gates to the mansion slid open before the car fully stopped. Security bowed their heads as the vehicle rolled through. Cameras tracked his arrival. Motion lights flared to life along the driveway, illuminating the marble steps that led to the towering entrance.The chauffeur stepped out first and opened the door.Zack took his time.He stepped out slowly, coat perfectly tailored, expression neutral. The night air brushed against his face, cool and obedient. He adjusted his cuffs again—a habit when his mind was racing.Master Ha
