Rowan's Triumph
Rowan’s body was already in midair when Hawthorne finally moved.With terrifying speed, Hawthorne forcefully released Irene and turned toward the incoming attack. His hand shot forward and seized Rowan by the neck before the traitor could crash into him. Hawthorne choked Rowan upward, lifting him higher by the neck as his body remained suspended in midair.Irene stood frozen for several seconds, staring at her right hand. Her wrist still felt numb from Hawthorne’s powerful grip, and she could barely move her fingers. Then she looked around the passage and realized how dangerous the situation had become. She was the only woman surrounded by armed military men and powerful warriors, and she suddenly feared that she could lose her life in the process.Without wasting another second, Irene turned and ran into one of the military rooms. She slammed the door behind her and quickly locked it from inside. Her heart pounded violently as gunshots began exploding throughout the passage.“Shoot h
The Confrontation Begins VI
The moment Rowan raised his hand, his face turned red with rage. His chest rose and fell heavily as he stared at Hawthorne, and for several seconds, he looked as though he was about to charge straight at him. The humiliation in Hawthorne’s words had struck a nerve, especially because the soldiers around them had heard almost everything. Rowan clenched his fists and took a step forward, his anger almost impossible to control.“Enough!” Rowan roared. “How dare you speak to me like that? You still think you can come here and challenge me?”He was about to move again when Irene quietly grabbed his arm and pulled him back. “Don’t bother yourself, darling,” she said coldly. “Let me do exactly what I’m capable of doing.”Rowan stopped and looked at her. His breathing was still heavy, but he eventually allowed himself to step back. “Irene…”“Leave him to me,” she interrupted. “I cannot stand here and watch him insult you.”Rowan remained silent, his eyes burning with fury as Irene turned awa
The Confrontation Begins V
“Irene…” Hawthorne called again, his voice low and painfully controlled. He stared at her for several seconds before finally speaking. “Despite everything I’ve done for you? You betrayed me like I never existed. I elevated your boutique business from scratch. I took care of you, I brought you out from the trenches, and you decided to repay me like this just because of the poor orphan that had nothing when I was the one bringing him up and finally made him who he is today?”His voice remained calm, but every word carried the weight of years of sacrifice. “Both of the very people who are closest to me are now standing in front of me like a couple. Do you know how painful this is? This pain cuts deeper than any wound. It is unbearable. This is what shows the wicked nature of mankind.”Hawthorne shifted his eyes toward Rowan. “Rowan, you are a typical example. Despite everything I’ve done for you, despite the fact that you were an orphan I rescued from assassins, you decided to take every
The Confrontation Begins IV
Hawthorne’s question remained hanging in the tense passage, but Irene did not answer immediately. She sighed deeply, almost as though his words had become an exhausting burden, then slowly turned her cold eyes toward him. “What will you even do if I tell you?” she asked. “Are you asking because you think you will do something? At the end of the day, what exactly will you do?” Hawthorne’s face remained still, but his heart tightened painfully. Irene gave a faint, mocking smile. “Anyway, I will tell you because I know you won’t do anything. Why should I hide it from you? I’m supposed to tell you what made me proud of my beloved darling.” She tightened her fingers around Rowan’s hand. “The motive is simple. I’m in love with him because I truly love him. He is more handsome than you, and he even has enough money to take care of me. In fact, I’m emotionally attached to him. There is no person who can separate us. Not even worthless and useless man like you.” Hawthorne’s chest rose s

Hawthorne’s voice was heavy, but his posture remained firm as he took another step toward Rowan. The question had barely left his lips when a violent tire screech suddenly tore through the air outside the passage. Everyone turned toward the entrance at once, and the soldiers instinctively tightened their grips on their weapons. A sleek black Mercedes G-Wagon came to a sharp stop outside the military entrance. The doors remained closed for a few seconds before the driver’s door opened, and Irene stepped out with calm majesty. She adjusted her clothes, shut the door, and walked toward the entrance with an air of confidence that made the soldiers immediately clear a path for her. Minutes later, Irene was already inside the passage. Hawthorne’s eyes locked onto her, and for one brief moment, everything around him seemed to disappear. He had imagined countless possibilities during his desperate search for his wife, but nothing had prepared him for the woman standing before him. Irene
The Confrontation Begins II
The soldiers paved a way as Rowan approached, and the entire passage seemed to change with his arrival. He did not hurry, nor did he need to. The military personnel opened a clear path for him as he walked through them with the confidence of a man who believed his authority was beyond question. His polished shoes struck the tiled floor with steady clicks, while his expensive military regalia looked even richer and more luxurious than the uniform Hawthorne himself had worn when he held the same position. When Rowan finally stopped, he stood face to face with Hawthorne. His eyes carried a poisonous, mocking look as he stared directly into Hawthorne's eyes, but Hawthorne remained completely unshaken. He stared back without blinking. As he studied Rowan, he noticed how much the man had changed. Rowan looked wealthier and fresher than before, and his body had become broader and more built, though he still carried a moderate frame rather than an enormous one. His sleek hair was careful
