Chapter 134
The hospital room was quiet except for the rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor. Leah lay curled on the bed, her face pale and her lips dry. Her breathing was uneven, shallow, almost frantic, as if her body hadn’t yet realized it was safe.Her fingers twitched against the sheets. A whimper escaped her lips, soft at first, then louder, broken words tumbling out in her sleep.“No… please… don’t hurt me… don’t… let me go… I didn’t do anything… please…”Aunt Kate, who had been dozing in the chair nearby, jerked awake at the sound. Her heart clenched at the sight of Leah thrashing weakly, her head tossing from side to side, tears leaking from the corners of her closed eyes.Scott was already on his feet. He moved quickly to her side, reaching out and placing a steadying hand on her arm. “Leah. Leah, it’s okay. You’re safe now. You’re not there anymore.”But Leah’s cries only grew louder. Her eyes flew open suddenly and she gasped so loudly. Her chest heaved, her pupils darting wildly arou

The drive to the hospital felt like the longest journey of Scott’s life.His hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that the veins on his forearms bulged, his knuckles bone white under the pressure. The car engine roared as he sped through the streets. His chest heaved with every breath, his jaw clenched so tight it ached.But none of that mattered.What mattered was the fragile figure in the passenger seat beside him.Leah had slumped against the seat, her head tilted slightly toward the window. Her eyes were closed, her lips pale, her chest rising and falling faintly. Scott kept glancing at her every few seconds, his heart leaping with terror each time she seemed too still.“Stay with me, Leah,” he muttered under his breath, his voice tight with desperation. “Don’t you dare give up on me. We’re almost there. Just a little longer.”He reached one hand from the wheel, brushing her cheek with trembling fingers. Her skin was clammy and her lips were dry. His chest constricted painf

The air inside the auction house was no longer filled with the sounds of laughter, clinking glasses, or wolfish cheers. Instead, it was deafening chaos. The rattle of gunfire was loud echoing off the walls and rattling the chandeliers above.Rat-tat-tat-tat!Men screamed. Some ducked under tables, some reached for their weapons too late, and others simply dropped as bullets sliced through their limbs.Scott didn’t flinch.He stood tall in the center of the hall, calm, even as bullets shattered glass and tore into walls. Around him, Victor Kane’s heavily armed men fell one after another.Each shot from outside was precise. A leg. A shoulder. An arm. A bullet never wasted. Within seconds, the men who had moments ago been surrounding Scott with snarls and cocky grins were now on the ground, groaning, clutching their wounds, their weapons clattering uselessly to the floor.Clang!Victor stumbled back toward the shadows, his face pale with disbelief. The confidence he’d worn like a crown

The host’s gavel slammed against the podium with a sharp crack that echoed through the suffocating hall.“Sold!” he declared triumphantly. “To the gentleman offering eleven million!”The crowd erupted in wild cheers, stomping their feet and clapping like a pack of wolves circling their prey. Men whistled loudly, glasses clinked, and several men shouted congratulations at the winner.Leah froze inside the cage. Her body felt numb, her stomach dropping so far she thought she might vomit. The words sold echoed in her ears, like a death sentence, bouncing against her skull until she thought she might lose her mind.The man who had won stood up slowly, smirking smugly as though he had just conquered a kingdom. He straightened his tie, adjusted his cufflinks, and raised his glass in mock salute to the crowd before setting it down. He then strode toward Leah.The spotlight shifted, following his every step.Leah’s throat constricted, her breath ragged. She clutched the bars desperately, shak
Chapter 130
THE AUCTION HOUSEThe room was thick with smoke and the heavy scent of expensive cigars. Dim golden lights glowed from chandeliers above. Velvet curtains lined the walls, round tables were arranged across the floor, and men in suits seated comfortably with glasses in hand. Their laughter rose and fell like a wave.At the far end stood a wide podium, raised just enough to allow everyone in the house a clear view of the stage. Behind it was a massive banner with words in ornate gold letters: “Exclusive Auction: Only for the Elite.”The hum of conversation was cut short when a man in a perfectly tailored tuxedo strode confidently onto the podium. He carried himself like someone who had hosted many such events. His smile was wide and his eyes were cold. He raised a gloved hand, and the noise of the crowd dimmed instantly.“Gentlemen!” His voice boomed, echoing across the lavish hall. “And welcome once again to a night unlike any other. A night where fortunes are tested, where only the

Scott’s phone rang loudly and he snatched it up without hesitation. “Cara? Tell me you have something.”On the other end, Cara’s voice was breathless, as though she had been running. “Sir… I found her. I found Leah.”Scott’s heart slammed against his ribs. He stood from his chair so quickly it screeched across the floor. “Where? Where is she?”“Sir… you need to brace yourself. Leah is about to be… auctioned,” Cara said.For a moment, Scott froze completely. The words didn’t register. Auctioned? His sister? The very thought made his blood feel like it was boiling in his veins. His jaw clenched so hard that his teeth ground together audibly.“Auctioned?” he repeated slowly. “They’re going to sell my sister?”“Yes,” Cara said, her tone grave. “That’s what the information says. They’ve prepared her… she’s in a cage, sir. I traced the location. If we don’t act fast…” She trailed off, unable to finish.Scott didn’t wait for the rest. “Send me the location,” he barked. “Now.”Within seconds,
