He turned to the others in rage, knocking them down. He grabbed the only man left standing.“You fucking bastard,” Cole threw him. The man hit the pavement like a bag of bones.Only then did he look at his mother. She was sitting on the ground, having been pushed by one of the men.She was staring at him in shock and something that looked like she was proud of Cole.For a second, Cole just stood there. He couldn’t feel his hands.“Cole…” Her voice cracked as she reached for him as if to confirm he was really the one.He walked closer, slowly. Her hand was warm when he took it, and that warmth stabbed straight through the ice in him.“Cole,” she whispered, a smile of relief and some tears of joy coming from her face.He almost said something stu

The hood came off just as the van lurched forward.White light punched into his eyes.These weren’t street rats. Suits. Polished shoes. The kind of posture you only get when you take orders from someone who can buy and sell half of New York.“You’re out now, huh?” One jabbed him in the chest.“You should’ve rotted in there,” another spat.Cole’s gaze dropped to a badge gleaming on a breast pocket. He remembered that crest. He had seen it in the court three years ago. A boot slammed into his ribs. He said nothing.Some years back, an influential family had come to New York chasing a fresh start. In three years they’d become untouchable—the city’s richest, its most feared.And then their daughter had been assaulted.And in that story, Cole Bennett was the monster that had assaulted their daughter.The van ground to a stop.Hands hauled him out, half dragging, half throwing, until he slammed

Chapter 13
After Cole dismissed the men—telling them he’d meet them another time—he walked out of the family villa and grabbed a cab to the house where he and his wife had lived before prison.It was his first day out, and too much had already happened. But nothing boiled his blood like knowing that bastard Harrison had done absolutely nothing all the while he was away.The driver kept stealing glances at the rearview mirror. Something about the man in the back seat made his skin crawl. The kind of passenger you pray doesn’t even breathe wrong in your car, because one mistake and you’re dead.And the way this guy’s fists were clenched didn’t help.The driver’s eyes accidentally met Cole’s in the mirror. He tried to look away, but it was already too late.“I—” the driver stammered. “I think you look like my sister.” The lie tripped all over itself as it left his lips. “I mean…” Damn. Should’ve just kept his mouth shut.“My sister’s got, uh,

Cole stood frozen, dazed. Boss? He wasn’t anybody’s boss—at least, not that he knew of. He eyed the scar-faced man warily. Was this fear talking… or was the universe playing a twisted joke?“What the hell are you doing?!” Blake barked. “Kill him already!”The bald man rose to his feet.For a moment, the entire room held its breath. This was it. Cole’s final chapter.Only… it wasn’t.The bald man turned—not to Cole—but to Blake, who was now struggling to prop himself up on the floor.“Who the hell do you think you are talking to me like that?!” the bald man said casually.Blake groaned. “If you’re going to take revenge, just do it. I can’t bear to—”WHAP!The slap landed clean across Blake’s head, knocking him out cold once more.The bald man dusted his hands, turned, and returned to Cole’s side with a respectful nod.“I apologize for that, sir.”Cole gave the bald man a short nod, expecting an explanation for his earlier outburst.The man straightened, glancing around. The room had

Blake, seeing there was no one left to come to his rescue if that Cole bastard made another move, scrambled to his feet like a man waking from a nightmare.“You might be enjoying this now,” he spat, trying to summon some spine, “but don’t you ever forget—I’m the heir to the Blackridge Consortium Group! The only heir!”His voice cracked, but he raised it louder, hoping it would drown out the panic clawing at his throat.“I’ll come back for you, Cole! You’ll regret every second of this!” he added, staggering toward the door, already halfway gone.But Cole wasn’t done.He started walking toward Blake, not hurried. Blake halted, twisting back. “What now? You think an apology will fix this?” he hissed. “My father is the fucking president of the Blackridge Consortium Group. By the time he hears about this—you’re dead!”Cole didn’t give a damn about some president.Not when this coward had failed Amanda—and still had the audacity to run his mouth like this?Rage blanketed Cole's senses.Wit

What?! Blake came to apologize? Everyone looked one another in the face. Who was Cole to have suddenly become someone that Blake would come apologize to? What the hell…Blake busted into laughter all of a sudden. As if amused by his own joke, Blake burst into laughter. When he stopped, the silence was louder than ever. Confusion clouded every face in the room.“That bastard just ruined my company,” Blake said, his smile gone now.“What?!” Tyler shot up from the side, face red.“You’d all better find him—fast,” Blake said. “He walked into my building and injured ten of my top men. Ten. And I’m not talking bruises here. Doctors aren’t sure a few of them will even recover. And for what? An apology?”It clicked. One by one, expressions changed. Blake hadn’t come to make peace. He was here for blood.“Where’s the turtle?” Blake glanced around like he already knew Cole was too much of a coward to stand his ground. “Don’t tell me he ran off.”“You goddamn bastard! Look at the mess you’ve m
