Chapter 60
The sterile white lights of Jenkins Hospital did little to ease Rose’s panic as she clutched her daughter’s hand, tears streaming silently down her cheeks. Elaine lay motionless on the hospital bed, her face pale and her breaths shallow. Machines beeped softly around her, but they did nothing to reassure a mother’s heart. “She was fine this morning,” Rose whispered brokenly. “She was just fine…” Beside her, Alder stood rigid. His usually cheerful, confident expression was now etched with worry. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes swept the room again, desperate to find something—anything—that could explain what had happened. His fingers curled into fists. Finally, he turned to the nurse, his voice low but sharp. “Who brought her in?” The nurse who was a young woman in a pale-blue uniform, hesitated. “I’m sorry, sir. The man didn’t leave his name. He just brought her in, said she needed urgent care, and left right after texting someone on her phone." “Tex
Chapter 59
Antonio began to walk, unhurried, toward the exit. His presence was commanding, the silence thick with tension. The only sound was the drag of broken bodies and the hum of overhead lights. Just as he reached the door, Robert’s curiosity got the better of him. He couldn’t stop himself. “What exactly is your relationship with the Earl of Wessex?” he called out. Antonio paused, his back still turned. He didn’t look over his shoulder. He didn’t even shift his stance. His voice was calm but piercing, sharp as broken glass. “Take a guess.” Then he pushed open the door and walked out into the night, leaving nothing but silence in his wake. Robert Adams stood frozen, fists trembling. “Damn him,” he muttered. He had never felt so powerless. Antonio had just humiliated him—publicly. In front of what was supposed to be a display of strength, a reminder of who ruled these streets. Instead, Robert had been forced to back down, his authority shattered in one violent encounter
Chapter 58
Heavy silence fell over the room like a storm brewing in the air. Robert Adams lowered his phone slowly, his expression shifting in a volatile mix of disbelief and fury. His nostrils flared and a vein throbbed visibly in his temple. So, someone as insignificant as Antonio had managed to win the Earl’s favor? Then—bang! He slammed his fist against the mahogany desk, rattling everything on it. Gritting his teeth and facing Antonio, he spat with venom, “Consider yourself lucky!” Antonio didn’t flinch. He stood calm, his eyes sharp and merciless, radiating the kind of cold that chilled to the bone. His voice was low and steady, yet laced with danger. “You’d better keep your claws to yourself. Because if you dare to forcefully take over Elaine’s company, I won’t mind cutting off your hand.” It was not a threat—it was a promise. Robert narrowed his eyes, the weight of Antonio’s words hitting him harder than a punch to the jaw. How long had it been since anyone
Chapter 57
A hush fell again. Antonio’s grip on Elaine didn’t change. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. “What the hell are you doing, fool?” Robert barked. “Making a last call before I end you?” Antonio dialed, ignoring him. After a brief pause, a calm voice answered. It was Antonio's head butler. “Yes, young master?” “Charles,” Antonio said, eyes never leaving Robert. “If I kill Robert Adams right now in Gelrith City, will it affect the Morris family’s operations here?” The name fell like a stone into still water. Within Charles's mind, gears turned swiftly. He understood immediately that Robert Adams must have crossed Antonio badly. And that meant trouble. Grave trouble! The young master of the Morris family was not known for his patience. A slight against him, intentional or not, could ripple into a storm. And if Antonio was asking such a question, it was not out of idle curiosity. He was already calculating and planning. Charles quickly
Chapter 56
They were two hundred men who formed a wide circle around Antonio. Standing at the center, Tiger grinned wickedly, emboldened by the sheer size of his army. “You cheap imposter," Tiger scoffed, licking his lips arrogantly as he stepped forward. “I’ll admit—you’re strong. But not even a beast can fight two hundred men. You're finished!” Antonio's eyes were like ice. His expression remained unreadable, calm even. He slowly looked around at the crowd, then fixed his gaze on Tiger, his voice like a cold blade slicing through the thick tension. “If I wanted to kill you,” Antonio said softly, “no one here could stop me.” Hearing this, Jim was more furious. Standing just behind Tiger, he snarled, “You bastard! Enough with the bluffing—I swear I’ll carve you into pieces!” he roared, jabbing a finger forward. Impatiently, he turned sharply to his men. “You idiots! Don’t just stand there—get rid of him, now!” The command snapped the men into motion. Like a crashing wave, they su
Chapter 55
The moment Elaine noticed the sex toys in Jim and Tiger's hands, she froze. What sick plan did these scum have in mind with all those twisted toys? A deep, primal desperation surged through her. “No…” she breathed. Her gaze darted around wildly — then locked on a half-empty wine bottle on a nearby crate. With trembling hands and sheer adrenaline, she snatched it and swung it at Tiger’s head. The glass never connected. Tiger reacted instantly, knocking the bottle from her hand with the back of his hand, as if batting away a fly. Shards exploded across the floor. Tiger seized Elaine’s wrist in a crushing grip, his expression darkening with rage. Without warning, he yanked her forward and slammed her head against the edge of the table. The impact was sharp and sickening — her body went limp as she collapsed onto the surface, unconscious. A twisted grin spread across Tiger’s face as he loomed over her. With a cruel hand, he began tearing at her clothes, shreddi
