Elena stood frozen on the rain-slicked pavement, her chest heaving, her palms still raw from the fall. She watched as the man before her fought marvelously. Her eyes glint at every moves he took. With one punch, he knocked out one of the men who was rushing towards him with a baton. She watched as Darius kicked the man into the gutter, while he dampened his clothes. The gang leader was visibly amazed and furious, he couldn't understand how Darius was able to beat up his men. “You useless brat! You really think you can fight! You just fought with my weaker men.” " Boys, get him! Beat him mercilessly, I want all his limbs broken. I need to kill him myself for disrespecting me!” He bellowed in fury. The gangs obeyed his instruacton and ran towards with different kinds of weapon. Seeing this, Darius’ eyes shone in rage, hot adrenaline ran through his veins, his body screamed for blood. He charged towards them with precision and accurate force, with just one punch, he rendered them

Behind him, two bodyguards stood like statues. Their faces looking tough and dangerous. In front of him, on their knees, were four men.Blade was at the front. His face was a mess—one eye swollen shut, his nose bent at an unnatural angle, his lip split and bleeding. The other three looked even worse. One of them couldn't even kneel properly; his arm hung limp at his side, clearly broken.These four men are beaten by Darius Holloway. Thomas took a long drag from his pipe. He held the smoke in his lungs for a moment, then released it in a slow, deliberate cloud."Blade," he said, his voice soft and dangerous. "Tell me again what happened. Where is Elena? Don't tell me she did all these to you guys."Blade swallowed hard. His throat bobbed. "Sir, we found Elena. Just like you ordered. We cornered her in the alley, and we were about to bring her in. But then—then this strange man appeared out of nowhere. He was fast. Too fast. We didn't even see him move."Thomas's eyebrow twitched, and

She mumbled, scrambling on to her feet, already reaching for her phone. Her fingers trembled as she unlocked it. Trying to make the emergency call. Before she could dial, a loud groan stopped her.Harry had both hands pressed to his chest. His face had gone white. Not the pale of fear, but the pretense pale of a man who knew exactly how to break a woman's heart."Lisa," he wheezed, continuously tapping his chest,"my chest. I think—I think something's wrong. I'm in pain."Her phone slipped from her hand instantly and rushed toward him."Harry? Harry!" She dropped to her knees beside him, cupping his face. His eyes were half-closed, his breathing shallow."What is it? Is it your heart?""I don't know," he whispered. "It hurts. It hurts so much."Lisa didn't think. She didn't pause. She scooped up her phone and dialed emergency services, her voice high and frantic. "Yes, I need an ambulance right now! My friend is having a heart attack! We're on the south shore, near the old pier!"Sh
Chapter 22
A middle-aged man sat in a leather chair that had been imported from Italy, his fingers wrapped around a carved wooden pipe. Smoke curled upward in lazy spirals, disappearing into the dim light of the chandelier above. He was in his early fifties, but his face looked older—lined with years of violence and paranoia. His hair was silver at the temples. His eyes were gray and cold, like winter frost on a windowpane.Behind him, two bodyguards stood like statues. Their faces looking tough and dangerous.

"He hung up on me," she said, her voice trembling with indignation. "He actually hung up on me."Harry, who had been sitting at the kitchen table with a glass of water, looked up with practiced concern. "What did he say? Is he coming back?""No," Lisa said, her jaw tight. "He's being unreasonable. He won't even listen to reason. He kept on splitting rubbish!"Harry stood and walked over to her. He placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Maybe he just needs time. You know how men are. Their pride gets wounded, and they lash out."Lisa shook her head. "It's more than that. He's never acted like this before. He's always been so soft and predictable. So easy to manage. But last night, when he walked through that door, he looked different. He looked dangerous."Harry's eyes flickered. For just a moment, something cold and calculating crossed his face. Then it was gone, replaced by the soft, helpless expression he wore like armor. "Darius would never hurt you, Lisa. He loves you too much. He

He turned and stared at the two of them, his face devoid of any emotion. "You're right," he said quietly. "I am fine. I survived. Against all odds, I survived. And somehow, that's my fault."Lisa's face reddened. "Don't you take that tone with me. You know what I mean. If you had just called instead of—""Instead of what?" Darius interrupted. "Instead of walking thirty miles through the rain with no shoes? Instead of coming home to find my wife taking care of another man while I fought for my life? Instead of standing here while you tell me I need to apologize to the man who tried to kill me?"“For three years, all I asked for was your attention, your love. Is it a crime to love you, Lisa? I want to know, do you ever love me?”Immediately Darius asked the question, Lisa's heart stopped abruptly for a second. Her face covered in shock as she couldn't say anything. Did she even love Darius? She thought and couldn't find an answer. Harry seized the moment. He grabbed Lisa's arm and pr
