2026-05-07 19:03:56Rose returned to her office and sank into her executive chair, her heart racing with unease. Anxiety gnawed at her; the "what-ifs" about Samson being discovered played over and over in her mind.
"Indah," Rose called through the intercom, her voice forced into a semblance of calm.
"Yes, Miss?"
"Make sure no guests enter my office this afternoon, whoever they may be. And cancel all my appointments for the rest of the day."
"Understood, Miss."

CHAPTER 104: Counter-Offensive
"Insolent bastards!" Clara hissed, her jaw clenching hard.Samson snatched the phone from Clara’s hand and scanned the article rapidly. The headline was plastered in massive bold letters across various gossip portals and online news outlets."ITARI ROSALINA ALLEGEDLY HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH HER HUSBAND'S OWN BODYGUARD!!!"Right beneath the headline was a photo of Samson carrying Itari the previous night. It was a shot clearly taken surreptitiously from a distance.Samson’s gaze instantly turned glacial. "They moved quickly," he murmured in a dangerously low tone.Rose scrolled through the other articles, and the more she read, the paler her face became. "They’ve already launched a preemptive strike," she whispered.Embedded within the article was a video of Itari’s biological father weeping in front of the camera."My daughter has been unruly since she was a child," the old man claimed in the video. "She always craves attention. Mr. Baskoro was incredibly generous to help our family, bu
CHAPTER 103: A Daughter's Choice
Rose froze. Samson's sharp, piercing question seemed to slice through the heavy silence of the villa, hitting her right in the chest.She looked at the cracked medicine bottle in Samson’s hand, then shifted her gaze to Itari, whose shoulders were still trembling from weeping. For years, Rose had built a wall of cynicism, believing that her father, Baskoro, was simply a harsh and demanding man who was difficult to please. But tonight, that illusion shattered completely.He wasn't just a harsh father. He was a monster who systematically destroyed the people around him."Rose?" Samson called out softly, his voice dropping its dangerous edge, replaced by a rare touch of gentleness as he observed her pale face.Rose drew a deep, ragged breath, her hands trembling slightly before she tightly clenched them into fists. When she raised her head, the habitual mask of the cold, unyielding director of Roseland Corp was firmly back in place, though her eyes glinted with a mix of pain and fury."I
CHAPTER 102: Shattered Fragments
"Bianca, this is Mrs. Itari," Samson said, introducing her to the teenager."Hello, Auntie. I'm Bianca," she said, forcing a stiff smile. Her hands were visibly white-knuckled as she clutched the edge of Samson's jacket.Samson noticed her immediate apprehension around unfamiliar faces. "Let me walk you to your room first, okay? That way you can get some rest," he offered gently."But you won't leave again, right, Daddy?" Bianca asked, her eyes clouding with restlessness."No. I'll be resting right here on the sofa. You can find me here whenever you look," Samson replied, gently patting her head.The girl nodded and rose from her seat. "Mrs. Itari, I will escort Bianca first. We can talk further when I return," Samson noted."Yes, of course, Sam," Itari replied, still visibly bewildered.As Samson led Bianca away, Itari remained standing in the foyer, her eyes locked on their retreating figures."Good heavens, is that girl truly Samson's daughter?" Itari murmured to herself. "So, that
CHAPTER 101: Tangled Alliances
Exactly twelve minutes later, a dull white city car pulled over slowly at a dark, secluded section of the road, directly beneath the overpass. Its primary headlights were cut, leaving only the dim glow of the parking lights cutting through the gloom.Samson moved with lightning-fast reflexes. He opened the front passenger door, slipped inside, and pulled it shut with absolute silence.Clara, who was sporting a loose bomber jacket and oversized sunglasses to obscure her identity, stomped on the gas pedal the exact second she heard the door lock engage."Are you alright, Sam?" Clara asked, throwing a brief glance toward Samson as he lowered his face mask, revealing the rugged, sharp lines of his face, which still bore the residual tension of combat."I'm fine. The situation is growing increasingly volatile; Baskoro has deployed Emran into the field to intercept our plans," Samson explained, letting out a heavy exhale."They're likely beginning to lose their grip because their fabricated
CHAPTER 100: Shadows and Scapegoats
The two remaining men traded panicked glances, their previously fierce expressions now completely drenched in cold sweat. They were highly trained interceptors, routinely deployed to handle heavyweight targets, but facing a man who could halt a speeding SUV with his bare hands was definitively missing from their operational handbook."W-what exactly is he?" one of them stammered, his face entirely drained of color."He... he’s not human!""B-bastard! Just shoot his legs!" the other bellowed, attempting to summon back his shattered courage.BANG! BANG! BANG!Another volley of gunfire echoed, ricocheting sharply off the concrete walls of the basement. However, to Samson, the movement of their fingers against the triggers felt as though it had slowed to a crawl. Before the bullets could even clear the chambers, Samson erupted forward from behind the pillar. His movement was so blindingly fast that it created a visual distortion in his opponents' eyes—like a dark shadow blurring across th
CHAPTER 99: Unstoppable Force
Rose held Samson’s gaze for a long moment, then gave a firm, resolute nod. The panic that had briefly paralyzed her began to dissolve, replaced by an absolute, unwavering trust in the man standing before her."I understand, Sam. I’ll secure these documents right now," Rose whispered, her voice carrying a newfound calm and fierce determination.Together, they stepped back inside the apartment unit, sliding the glass door shut with careful precision to avoid making any suspicious noise. On the sofa, Bianca had just placed her spoon down onto a completely empty bowl. The warmth of the food had brought a fraction of color back to her pale face."Wow, Daddy's porridge really is the best!" Bianca cheered with a wide smile, gazing up at Samson with the pure, adoring eyes of a child proud of her father.Samson approached her, a subtle smile playing on his lips—a necessary mask he had to wear to preserve the girl's fragile peace of mind. "I'm glad you liked it. Now, we need to relocate to a ne
