Chapter 138
That weekend, the grand auditorium of Duskmire State House brimmed with power and prestige. Flags lined the stage, chandeliers glimmered above, and rows of officials, doctors, governors, and dignitaries filled the seats. It was the long-awaited summit of the National Team of Medical Professionals.When Antonio arrived, the difference in treatment compared to his last invitation was unmistakable.A special protocol team in immaculate black suits approached him the moment his car stopped at the entrance. Unlike the cold stares and dismissive whispers he had endured before, this time the officials greeted him warmly and reverently.“Mr Morris,” one of them said with a deep bow. “This way, please. You have been expected.”Escorted past rows of murmuring onlookers, Antonio was led straight to the very front of the hall. His seat was cushioned, embroidered with the emblem of the nation, and placed directly beside the state governor’s. He noticed how eyes and whispers followed him from

A black SUV screeched to a halt in front of Gelrith's Central Medical Institute which was one of the most advanced hospital in the region. Antonio stepped out first as his men carried Matilda from the vehicle. She was still unconscious.“Move quickly,” Antonio barked, waving the medical staff forward. “She needs attention now!”Doctors and nurses rushed to their aid, guiding Matilda into the building. Antonio followed closely behind with his fists clenched at his sides and his entire being tense with rage and worry.For hours, tests were run. Blood work. Scans. Treatments for the cuts, bruises, and internal damage she had endured. Antonio stood outside the operating ward, pacing endlessly.Finally, a doctor emerged, pulling off his gloves. “She’s stable for now,” the man reported. “She suffered significant injuries, but we’ve halted the internal bleeding and treated the surface wounds. The next forty-eight hours will be critical. She’ll need monitoring around the clock.”Anton

The door to the room Matilda was being kept, creaked open, and Antonio’s chest tightened the moment his eyes fell on her.Matilda lay on a narrow bed with her face pale and her breaths shallow. Wires and tubes snaked around her fragile frame, but it was the wounds—fresh cuts, bruises, and needle marks—that made Antonio’s jaw clench with fury. Her arms bore angry red welts where restraints had bitten into her skin. Her ankles were bruised and her lips were dry and cracked. Even from the doorway, Antonio could see she had been readied for a dangerous experiment that would have stolen her life.“Matilda…” he called as he stepped inside. Matilda's eyelids fluttered, and for a fleeting second, her eyes met his.“Antonio…” she whispered in a weak, hoarse, voice which was just enough to shatter his heart.Antonio turned sharply, facing one of his men.“Pick her up,” he barked.“Yes, boss.”The man rushed forward, gently sliding his arms beneath Matilda’s frail body. “You’re safe now. I

Upon hearing the CEO'S threats, Antonio burst into laughter.His laughter thundered through the reception hall like the crack of a whip. Every single staff member flinched at the sound. The CEO stiffened at Antonio's audacity. For the first time since Antonio had barged into his company, his composure wavered, though he tried to mask it.“You think you can scare me with threats?” the CEO sneered.“Men like you come and go, thinking the world bends for their anger. This is my company. My kingdom. No one storms in here and lives to brag about it. Now leave before I—”Antonio raised a hand sharply, cutting him off, his eyes blazing like molten steel. “I don’t think you understand me,” he said firmly. “This is not a negotiation. This is the last warning you’ll get. Show me Matilda—now. Or watch everything you’ve built crumble into ash before nightfall.”The finality in his tone sent a shiver down the spines of every onlooker. No one doubted he meant every word.For a fleeting moment

Antonio stood his ground, glaring at the CEO as the noisy reception slowly grew quiet. Fearful whispers spread through the room, but Antonio’s voice was sharp and commanding.“I came here for my sister, Matilda!” he declared.“She was brought here not long ago. And hear me well—I will not leave this place unless she is released to me! If you refuse, I swear, every single person in this building will pay for standing in my way. Every one of you will be down, and this entire company will burn to the ground before I walk out of here without her.”His words slammed into the room like thunderclaps. For a moment, it seemed as though the walls themselves shook under the weight of his fury.Staff members froze in disbelief, their eyes darting between him and the CEO.The receptionist blinked rapidly with her trembling hands clutching the edge of the desk as if bracing for impact. Other employees exchanged wary glances, each silently asking the same question.Who the hell is this man?Did h

The man leaned casually on the counter, his lips curled into a mocking grin. “Go ahead,” he told the receptionist with a sneer. “Call your security. Let’s see how much they can help you.”The receptionist’s jaw clenched and her fingers trembled slightly as she grabbed the phone and dialed frantically. But after several seconds of waiting, her expression changed. No one answered. She tried again, punching the buttons harder this time, sweat beginning to bead on her forehead. Still nothing.Now panic began to creep into her voice. “Why aren’t they answering?” she muttered, her gaze darting between Antonio’s men and the silent phone.Antonio stood there silently with his arms crossed and his eyes cold and watchful. The silence from security wasn’t an accident—he’d already neutralized them at the entrance. The receptionist just hadn’t realized it yet.Other staff members who were present in the lobby and had previously frozen in uncertainty, found their voices. They began shouting
