“Holy shit! You dare raise your hands on me?” Jim gasped in shock as he staggered back from Devin's slap.
His ears were still ringing from the impact. “I'll teach you a fucking lesson!” he yelled at Devin and hurled at him, but Devin picked him up and slammed him on the ground. "Get the hell away from my son!" Sera rushed forward and helped her son, who was sitting on the ground, to his feet. The heartache in her eyes condensed into a long spear, and in the next second, she was ready to impale Devin to pieces. And in fact, she did just that with words. “You're a mother-begotten, father - a forsaken piece of trash!” “Your mom should've croaked with you in her belly!” Devin gritted his teeth. “Sera. Give me that necklace!” “Or what? What will you do about it, Devin? Beat me up too? Come on! I fucking dare you!” Sera screamed at Devin and took a step closer to him. Devin was gasping for breath. He didn't want to hit a woman, but Sera, what she was doing right now wasn't even human-like! “If you're fighting so hard for this necklace, then it must mean so much to you,” she said to Devin. “Oh, yes. You said it belonged to your mother. The miserable whore must have fucked anything with a dick to afford something like this!” Sera snapped at Devin whose heart churned at the words. “What the fuck did you just say about my mother?” Devin's voice was like a growl. Sera felt the terror shoot through her body but she didn't want to reveal it. “You bloody heard me. Or am I wrong? Weren't you a bastard child of a whore mother? Did your mother ever tell you who your father is?” She said and laughed out loud. Devin's chest heaved up and down as he listened to her, doing everything within his power not to rip her into two. “I thought you were smart Devin. Surely you knew your mother was a cheap slut. Only a trashy pussy can birth a lowlife degenerate like you!” She screamed. “You're the one with the trashy pussy here. How many men did you fuck and suck off even when you were married to your husband?” Devin retorted, and Sera froze. Devin could see her surprise. He smirked. “Your daughter told me everything. Stories about how you'd bring home different men in secret just to satisfy your lust. Looking back now, I understand why Amanda is the way she is. I guess the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree!” Devin stated. “Fucking bastard!” Sera cried out and jumped at Devin, expecting him to move away like he did earlier. But Devin stood his ground and caught her hand as she attempted to slap him. He pushed her back, and her knees gave way. Sera crashed to the ground, hitting her butt on the cold hard floor. And then Jim threw a large brick at Devin. But Devin caught the brick without even looking up! Jim gasped. “Like a mother like a son. So predictable!” Devin said with a smirk. “How did you see that coming, you freak-” Jim didn't finish the statement before Devin threw the rock back at him and broke his head! “No!” Sera screamed. “Damn it! Mom! I'm bleeding!” Jim cried as he rolled on the ground, his shirt soaked in blood. But soon, he couldn't say a word anymore because Devin's fists came raining down on him densely. He was in so much pain that he could barely breathe! “Just give him the fucking necklace mum!” Jim cried out in agony. Seeing that she has been defeated, Sera ripped the necklace off her neck and threw it at Devin. “There. Take the worthless piece of crap. I hope it chokes you if you try to wear it!” She snapped at Devin. Devin picked up the necklace without another word and walked away from them. “Don't you ever show your face here again? Do you hear me? I'll cripple you if I ever see you again!” Sera yelled as Devin walked away. From where she cuddled her son, Sera could see Devin approaching the Porsche that was parked outside. She frowned while she watched the bald bodyguard- Dreykov- open the door for Devin. “How is that fucker boarding a porshe?” Jim mumbled as his eyes gazed at the wonder. Then, Dreykov shot them a glare and they both whimpered. The Porsche zoomed off, leaving the pair perplexed. *** “Look at what the psychopath did to your brother! He attacked us for nothing!!” Sera cried out to Amanda as she stood with her in the hospital. Luther was there too. Jim was on the bed, all bandaged up, sulking like a dog. “Devin even beat me up as well!” Sera added, sobbing profusely. Amanda's heart boiled with anger. “That bastard doesn't know when to stay down, does he? I'll show him who's boss!” Amanda said and dialed Devin's number. The phone rang and Devin picked up the call. “Yes?” He said from the other side. “You shameless fool! How dare you attack my family? Do you know what the fuck you've done?-” Devin was at a loss for words. He let out a derisive laugh and didn't wait for even a second more before quickly hanging up the phone. Amanda stuttered. “Hello? Hello!! The fucker had the guts to end the call?” She scoffed. “Told you he was good for nothing!” Sera cursed. “Don't worry mum. I'll take care of this myself!” Amanda declared.Latest Chapter
Chapter 310
310. The digital world buckled like a paper house in a hurricane. Amanda and Devin flailed around as Devin tried to stabilise himself. Amanda clung to Devin's arm, her fingers digging in so hard they left white marks on his skin. Her entire body felt strange, and she hated that she was even in such a place in the first place. Amanda's eyes darted around the crumbling space. Gloria pulled the plug out of Amanda’s hold. "Do you think it's that easy, boy? You really think that you can just walk away?" "Shut your goddamn mouth!" Amanda yelled, yanking harder on Devin. His body jerked, veins still glowing like overheated wires. "We've had enough of your bullshit games!” Devin groaned, his knees buckling. “Amanda, it's like she's got hooks in my skull. We can't... we can't hold on." "Like hell we can't!" Amanda snapped, her free hand clawing at the interface node. It floated there, mocking them, a glowing orb was flashing with red warnings. She slammed her neural plug deeper
Chapter 309
309. The monitors were going haywire and Amanda could feel the vibrations of the computer in her brain. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Everything was just wrong, but that Devin was too stubborn to listen to anybody. Amanda got up from her chair, coffee spilling over her lap. "Shit! No, no, no!" She slammed her hand on the console, eyes wide as the readings on Devin's vitals dropped fast, heart rate crashing, neural activity spiking off the charts. The man had done it now! What was she supposed to do in such a situation? What was happening to him in there? "Devin, you fucking idiot!" She yelled, her voice echoing in the small lab. She pressed the comms link, though she knew damn well he couldn't hear her anymore. "You just couldn't wait, could you? You never fucking can! You are a burden on my neck, Devin! Fuck you!" The medallion was floated at the centre of the room now, glowing erratically as pulses of light came out of it like an arrhythmic heartbeat. Amanda had had his body
Chapter 308
308. Devin glared at her. He clenched his fists and try to clear his head. “No, I can’t be speaking to you right. Ow. You’re not real.” Gloria smiled. “Define real. You’re not standing in your own body right now either, are you? You uploaded yourself here, does that mean that you are not real? Does that mean that this is real? You brought yourself here willfully.” He swallowed hard and looked around. The walls started changing and displaying images of his past, flashing them for half a second at a time. It showed him at meetings with investors, his time with Petra… and then, the blood. The massacre at the tower. Everything that could mess with him. “Get the fuck out of my head!” He snarled. “Your head?” Gloria asked. “Oh, Devin. You stepped into mine. You should get out of my head, I'm not the one intruding.” He took a step closer. “Where is she?” She smiled wickedly at him. “Where is whom? Petra?” “Don’t play dumb with me, you know where she is. Stop act
Chapter 307
307.Devin took his hands off the panel, looking around. "Well, that was anticlimactic." He said. "Devin, you are not allowed to touch that thing before I'm done calibrating it. I'll bash your head in with the keyboard if you do that again." He looked at her as the power returned. "And ow long will that take?" Amanda looked away. She didn't know. "It's the only way to find Petra right now. Stop trying to save me, I can make my own decisions!" Devin exclaimed angrily. Amanda groaned, rubbing her face. "You keep saying that all the time, but your actions in times like this prove otherwise. Now, listen to me. That Echo is not stable yet. If you link your mind to it right now, there's a good chance that it could fry your neurons or worse, plug you straight into Gloria's network. From what I have seen, it is very powerful." "Good." He said coldly. "Then maybe I'll find her faster." Amanda got up and stood toe-to-toe with him, glaring. "Are you hearing yourself? Yo
Chapter 306
306. Devin hadn’t slept, not a wink or a quick shut eye. He sat at the edge of the cold metal bunk staring at the medallion glowing faintly on the table. His fingers twitched every few seconds like he was resisting the urge to grab it again, he wanted to feel it, the slow pulse that felt like a heartbeat to him. Amanda came later in the morning, her face was pale and her hair even messier than before. She looked like hell but so did he and he didn't seem to mind. “Good Morning.” She muttered, carrying two mugs of black coffee in her hands. “If we can even call it that.” Devin didn’t look up. “Do you have something for me?” Amanda set the mugs down and sighed. “You’re welcome, asshole.” He realised that he upset her and he rubbed his face. “Right. Sorry.” “You should be.” She took a sip of her own coffee and sat across from him. “You look like someone dragged you through stones.” “Feels like it too.” He muttered. He was exhausted and his voice sounded hoarse.
Chapter 305
305. Amanda sat hunched over the desk with her hair tied up in a messy knot, and her eyes bloodshot from hours of staring at holographic code. The room around her was dark except for the dole glow of the medallion hovering in front of her. It was pulsing slowly, just like Devin had said, like a heartbeat, so slow and in rhythm. "Come on, you stressful piece of worm!" She muttered, tapping on the keyboard. "Show me what the hell you're hiding." Amanda had been working on decoding it for three straight days, fuelled by caffeine, anger, and perhaps obsession. Devin's obsession had bled into her, and now she was just this... creature. She ran her fingers through her hair, sighed, and then squinted at the screen. The code was beautiful but terrifying too. It was fluid, adaptive, almost alive. Every time she broke through one firewall, the medallion seemed to rewrite itself, sealing new layers of encryption in seconds. "This isn't just code." She murmured, shaking her head. "This i
