Cole’s gaze softened just enough as it landed on her, sliding over the torn edge of her shirt. He didn’t need to speak; Amanda already knew what he was thinking. She wasn’t in a position to argue.“There’s an exit at the back. Let’s go.” He reached out his hand.Amanda swallowed hard, standing on her own instead. Why is he like this all of a sudden? The man from three years ago—terrified, hesitant, invisible—was gone. This Cole… this man was a force. She hadn’t signed up for him showing up out of nowhere to save her.Cole led the way like he had lived here all his life. How does he even know this path? Three years ago, he would have been cowering in a corner.“My personal assistant is still outside,” she said, forcing her brain to catch up. “I need to get her out before those security men—” She froze mid-step. “We have to pass

Satisfied, Cole nodded. He’d had enough of men like Mr. Harrison in the world. The world would be better off without them.He turned to leave, but Alex’s voice stopped him.“Sir, should I start the processing of the company?” Alex asked.Cole slowly turned, questioning.“The transfer of the company to you, sir,” Alex clarified. “I can start as soon as daybreak. You only have to say the word.”Cole shook his head. “I don’t need it.”“Sir… I could do it this instant if you allow. Everything under Mr. Harrison could be transferred to your name.”Cole waved him off. “I have no use for businesses like this. If you want it, take it.”“Thank you, sir!” Alex shouted after Cole as he left without another word.Alex’s eyes lingered on a picture on the ceiling—his mother and father smiling, Mr. Harrison between them, smiling too. The man had killed his parents years ago, disguised it as an accident, then adopted A

“And I should give a damn about that?” Blake’s father growled.“Sir, Cole spent three years in prison for your son. Three years of his life gone,” Amanda said, forcing each word out steadily. “Your son didn’t even keep the promise he made. How would you feel if you were in Cole’s shoes?”That caught him off guard—just for a moment.Amanda pushed forward. “Sir, my husband is human. He’s bound to break. Three years—do you know what that cost us? What it cost him? There are so many things we could have done in that time, but he sacrificed it all. For me.”“For you?” Blake’s father’s voice shifted softly, almost curious now.Amanda rose slowly from her knees, her pulse pounding. “If Cole had been with me for those three years, we could have built a life together. That kind of loss can make any man… reckless.”“Yeah…” Blake’s father murmured, something unreadable flickering in his gaze. “Three years away from a woman like you. That wo

Blake lay sprawled on the bed, every groan slicing through the heavy morning air. The few staff allowed inside—sworn to silence—kept their faces neutral. Still, none of them could shake the absurdity of watching New York’s golden boy writhe like a crushed insect. “Arrrrghhh!” he screamed again, though no one was touching him. The family doctor had already pumped him with enough anesthesia to fell a horse. Nothing dulled the pain. “Do something!” Blake’s father snapped at the doctor. “I already—” “I don’t want excuses!” The older man’s fury cracked like thunder. “Can’t you see he’s in agony?” The doctor swallowed hard and reached for another dose, silently thinking that if Blake's father wanted to fix this, he should call the one who did it. The door burst open. Another physician hurried in, clutching an X-ray report. “Well?” Blake’s father demanded.

The doctor didn’t even glance at Edward. His eyes went straight to Cole, and he bowed slightly.Cole gave a single nod, then pointed toward Eleanor.The moment he’d seen those needles, he’d made one call—to Scarface. And Scarface had brought him the best.The new doctor crossed to the bed. He didn’t waste a second.His hands moved with sharp, deliberate precision, his questions clipped and low. Edward answered every single one like he was confessing to a god.Because that’s exactly who this man was.If he had been here three years ago, Edward would have bet his entire fortune—Eleanor wouldn’t be lying here like this.And then, there was a sudden movement from the body that had been laying still for over two weeks now. Eleanor’s fingers twitched.Edward dropped to his knees beside the bed, his breath catching.Slowly, painfully, her eyes fluttered open. For a second they rolled, unfocused, before fi

“What is it?” Edward asked behind him. Cole didn’t answer right away. He bent low, his eyes locked on Eleanor’s hairline. Now that he came closer, he could see it clearly. There weren't just the three silver needles, their were fresh puncture marks. Tiny, angry red dots. “Doctor,” Cole said at last, his voice so quiet the air felt heavier. “What are these wounds?” The doctor stiffened. “What wounds?” Cole straightened slowly, turned, and pointed without touching. “These. Here. They look like needle wounds.” The doctor forced a dry laugh. “And what would you know about medicine? Those are—” But Edward was already at Cole’s side. He saw the marks and the color drained from his face. “Doc… what is this?” For the first time, the doctor’s mask cracked. “They’re… part of a treatment. Acupuncture. To help with—” Cole’s hand shot fo
