CHAPTER NINETY TWO
91. "Kia!" Devin's voice carried through the warehouse. His eyes were locked on the gun pressed to her head. His entire body screamed to move, to act, to kill,but he waited. The Boogeyman grinned beneath his cracked mask, the weapon still aimed at Kia's temple. "Should I pull the trigger?" He whispered mockingly. "Just one little squeeze, and boom, problem is solved!" Kia whimpered, her eyes filled with fear and pain. "Devin... please—" "Let her go!" Devin growled. "You bloody bastards have no idea of what you're doing." The Boogeyman laughed, taking a few steps closer to Kia. "Oh, but I do. I'm doing exactly what I came here for." "I swear on my life—" Devin began, but he didn't finish. Because the gun moved away from her head. It shifted, just a little, just enough. In that split second, Devin acted. He didn't think or bother to breathe. He just moved lightning fast. A line of silver light burst from his palm, energy so strong it cracked the concrete und
CHAPTER NINETY ONE
-We have Kia. Come alone or she dies.- Devin was frozen in one spot in the conference room. He couldn't speak, or blink even. Slowly, he closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. Around him, the board members were still talking about the money, and whatnot, but Devin wasn't with them at the moment. Dreykov noticed the change in his boss' face. He went up to him. "Sir?" Devin didn't look at him. "We have to end the meeting now." "What?" "Now." "Yes sir." Devin snapped the briefcase shut, turned, and walked out of the room without another word. "Wait, we're taking it!" "We're sorry, are you offended?" "We humbly beg for you to reconsider!" The board members called after him, asking all questions, but Devin didn't respond. "Sir, what is it? What happened?" Dreykov asked, worried. Devin stopped near the elevator, turned, and handed Dreykov the phone. The moment Dreykov read the message, his body stiffened. "Who the fuck dared to send this to
CHAPTER NINETY
Kia stood in line at the coffee shop with her phone in one hand, and her purse slung lazily across her shoulder. The day was too quiet, if she was honest. Ever since the attack on Devin, things had been tense. But today, she had escaped her guards by saying she wanted to use the ladies and used that to escape. She took in a deep breath. The sun was out, and nothing had exploded. Yet. "Kia?" A warm voice said behind her. She turned around slowly. The man who had spoken had a gentle smile, his suit crisp, dark gray with a blue tie, and a dimple on one cheek when he smiled. His face was familiar, though she couldn't place where she had seen it before. "Do I know you?" She asked, cautious. He chuckled, light and disarming. “Perhaps you don’t remember, but we bumped into each other last month. I'm Ronan Gray." Lies. She raised a brow in disbelief. “Really? How come you’re here?" "Just running errands, then I saw you. Wanted to say hi. You look... incredible." Ki
CHAPTER EIGHTY NINE
Devin stood, watching the rain slide down the glass. His arms were crossed, and his face was set in a stern look and his fists were tightly clenched. He hadn’t slept properly ever since he got the last attack. Dreykov stood behind him, quiet and alert as always, but even his stance had changed slightly, as the man was more tense than usual. “You’ve not said anything since we’ve stood here.” Devin said suddenly, not turning. Dreykov cleared his throat. “Yes sir. I’m just keeping my ears sharp and making sure I’m alert. You never know who’s listening anymore.” Devin turned slowly to face him. “Do you think they’ll try that nonsense again?” “Pardon me, sir, but they didn’t come for tea the first time.” Dreykov said, stepping forward. “They came to kill you, it seems. And since they failed, they’ll want to finish the job, that’s how these things work, sir.” A knock came at the door before Devin could answer. He didn’t move. Dreykov walked over, opened it slightly, the

CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVEN
The night was a suffocating shroud, the only sound the distant hum of the city seeping through the cracked windows of Richard's dimly lit apartment. He sat behind his cluttered desk, a glass of whiskey untouched before him, his eyes fixed on the flickering candle that cast eerie shadows on the walls.Suddenly, a cold draft swept through the room, extinguishing the flame and plunging Richard into darkness. The silence was oppressive, punctuated only by the sound of his own ragged breathing. Then, a whisper - soft, menacing - seemed to caress his ear. "Richard."The voice was familiar, yet terrifying. Richard's eyes snapped open, and he turned slowly, his heart racing like a jackhammer. That's when he saw him - the Boogeyman, "You're late," Richard said, his voice trembling despite his efforts to sound defiant. "What do you want?"The Boogeyman's lips curled into a cruel smile. "You know why I'm here. Devin's proven to be more resourceful than I anticipated. I need more... let's ca
CHAPTER EIGHTY SIX
Devin barely had time to react. He threw himself to the side, the arrow embedding itself into a tree where his head had been seconds before. His heart hammered in his chest as adrenaline surged through his veins.From the shadows emerged four ninja assassins cloaked in black. Devin frowned.“You messed with the wrong man. You should know that I don't take prisoners!”Devin’s instincts took over as they hurled at him. He clenched his fists, summoning the flickering sparks of magic swirling around him. The air shimmered as energy crackled from his palms. With a fierce cry, he unleashed a bolt of lightning, striking the foremost ninja in the chest. The assassin crumpled to the ground, smoke curling from his charred armor.The remaining three pressed forward, blades flashing in the pale moonlight. Devin dodged and countered with precise strikes, his magic intensifying. A burst of fire erupted from his fingertips, engulfing one ninja in flames. The second was caught off-guard as Devin
CHAPTER EIGHTY FIVE
“Close your eyes, Devin. Let the magic come to you. Feel it run through your veins. It is yours… feel it…” Viktor's words sent ripples down Devin's body.The sun was just beginning to dip below the horizon, casting a shadow on the large training ground inside Devin's mansion.Thick blue stripes of energy slowly surrounded Devin, and soon green weaves followed, melting together until a white weave pulled out of the ground and surrounded Devin.Until they suddenly dissipated!Devin’s breath was ragged but exhilarated, his hands still tingling from the burst of elemental energy he had just wielded.Viktor watched him with an approving nod. “Not bad, Devin,” he said, “You’ve got a natural affinity for the elements. It’s rare to see such quick mastery. Only your mother could master the elements that quickly,”Viktor's expression darkened for a moment when he mentioned Devin's mother.Devin wiped sweat from his brow, grinning. “I guess all those years of fighting and surviving have made me
CHAPTER EIGHTY FOUR
The air was thick with fog as Richard’s car skidded to a halt in front of the rusted iron gates that concealed the Bogeyman’s lair. Years of rumors had surrounded this place, an abandoned warehouse deep in the outskirts of town.He stepped out, the gravel crunching beneath his boots. The heavy chains of the gate swung open with a groan, as if protesting his arrival. Inside, the darkness swallowed the faint glow of his flashlight. Navigating through the maze of corridors, Richard’s senses sharpened. Every creak, every distant sound made his heart thump harder.“I'll have a fucking heart attack before I meet him at the point!” Richard cursed.He kept moving until a rat scared him. Richard jumped. “Fuck!” He mutteredAnd then, he saw him standing in the faint glow of a flickering light, the Bogeyman."Richard," the Bogeyman rasped, voice rough like gravel. "You’ve come so far. And you have balls coming back here, after everything you did,”Richard took a step forward, hands clenched. "
