CHAPTER 170
Marcus stood near the hospital corridor entrance. He held a sealed envelope tightly in his firm grip. Sophia walked out of the double doors with steady steps. Her face resembled a mask carved out of solid ice."Miss Sophia, please wait a moment." Marcus lowered his head respectfully."Get out of my way." Sophia kept her gaze fixed straight ahead. Her voice carried the freezing temperature of a winter blizzard. I do not have time for his annoying little games."My boss only wishes to ensure your absolute safety." Marcus stepped sideways to maintain a polite distance. "He asked me to deliver a crucial message regarding your daughter.""Your boss is a walking plague." Sophia crossed her arms over her chest defensively. "I do not want his messages or his fake concern. Both of you are nothing but bothersome flies buzzing around garbage. Leave us alone.""We are only trying to help your family recover." Marcus kept his tone completely even and strictly professional."Do not pretend you care
CHAPTER 169
"Look at you crawling on the floor like a disgusting maggot." Cynthia sneered, her polished boot pressing down heavily on Monica's trembling fingers. "You thought you could trample over Miss Sophia? You are nothing but a filthy parasite feeding off the dirt.""Please, I beg you to stop." Monica curled into a tight ball, sobbing uncontrollably. "I am sorry. I did not know who she was.""Shut your mouth, you screeching pig." Cynthia kicked Monica in the ribs. "Your apologies are as worthless as a pile of manure. A crushed ant has more dignity than your pathetic existence. You belong in the sewer with the rest of the diseased rats.""I will never go near her again." Monica coughed, spitting out a mouthful of blood onto the concrete. "I swear it.""You are absolutely right." Cynthia crouched down, grabbing Monica by her ruined hair to force her to look up. "Because next time you even think of breathing the same air as Miss Sophia, I will personally pull your limbs off like the annoying in
CHAPTER 168
Alexander knew everything."Please," Monica's voice broke completely. "Please, I'm begging you. I made a mistake. I know that. I understand that now. But what you're suggesting, that's not justice, that's—please. I have people who depend on me. I have a life. Please don't do this."Alexander's gaze moved from Monica to the female guard positioned near the far wall. He gave a single, brief nod.The guard moved forward immediately, her expression completely neutral, professional in the way that suggested she had received her instructions well before this moment.Monica's panic became immediate and physical. She jerked against the binding at her wrists, her entire body convulsing with the instinct to flee. "No! No, don't come near me! Get away from me! I said get away!"She twisted toward Alexander, her voice climbing into something raw and uncontrolled. "Who are you? That's what I want to know! Who are you to do this? Who gave you the right to come in here and act like you own everyone'
CHAPTER 167
The room had changed since Alexander walked back in.It wasn't the lighting or the temperature or anything that could be measured with instruments.It was something else entirely, the particular shift in atmosphere that occurred when a person carrying absolute authority decided to stop moving and simply be present in a space.The guards near the walls straightened without being told. Even the air seemed to compress slightly.Alexander stood in front of Monica and said nothing.He looked at her the way someone might look at a document they had already decided the contents of before reading it. There was no curiosity in his gaze.No uncertainty. No warmth of any kind. Just a cold, settled certainty that pressed against Monica from across the room like a physical force.Monica's earlier relief, the breath she had exhaled when he had seemed to listen, when she had thought perhaps the worst was behind her, evaporated completely."Why are you looking at me like that?" Her voice came out cra
CHAPTER 166
Jason's hands remained motionless on the wheelchair's armrests, his eyes fixed on a point in the garden that didn't actually hold his attention.The conclusion that had been assembling itself in his mind for the past several minutes settled into place with the quiet certainty of a lock clicking shut. There was no other explanation that held together under any real scrutiny. The mansion. The staff. The regular therapy sessions with specialists who did not come cheaply. The food, the utilities, the ongoing maintenance of a household operating at a level that had nothing to do with hidden savings from a foreign bank account.Someone was providing for this. Someone with resources and motivation that Victoria was deliberately concealing.Jason's jaw tightened almost imperceptibly. He turned his wheelchair back toward the mansion's interior with controlled, deliberate movements."I'll find out," he murmured to no one. "Whatever you're hiding, Mother, I will find out."On the other side of t
CHAPTER 165
Victoria folded the small towel she had been holding and set it aside with the careful precision of someone who needed something to do with her hands."Breakfast is ready," she said, her voice carrying a practiced gentleness that she reserved for moments when she was trying to maintain normalcy despite everything around her being the opposite of normal. "Come on. You need to eat something after that session."Jason pushed himself forward in the wheelchair without responding, his jaw still tight from the session's residual pain. He followed her through the corridor into the dining area, where a table had been set with food that reflected the mansion's unexpected comfort.He lowered himself into position at the table and looked at the spread without enthusiasm. His appetite had been inconsistent since the hospital, arriving unexpectedly and disappearing without warning.Victoria sat across from him and poured his tea without being asked, the gesture automatic and maternal."You should e
