Chapter 176 The city slept, but Alexander didn’t. He stood on the balcony of his penthouse, eyes tracing the streets below, every shadow, every movement. His mind was sharp, precise. The alerts from his private network still pinged—unknown digital intrusions, slight anomalies in the Morrelo Group’s financial traffic, subtle but unmistakable.Jeffery had been a problem, yes—but the real threat was still unseen.Alexander turned away from the window. His gaze landed on Selena, sleeping peacefully in the next room. He refused to let anyone touch her—not Jeffery, not Roman, not whatever ghost of the past was creeping into their lives now.*****Paxton had returned to his apartment after another late night with Alexander, checking the city for any signs of Jeffery’s influence. He didn’t notice the subtle movement near his window at first. A figure, dressed in black, crouched on the fire escape, phone in hand. Every time Paxton moved, the figure froze, blending into the shadows like a pred
Survival
Chapter 175 The city didn’t celebrate justice.It never did.Traffic flowed. People laughed. Deals were signed. Power shifted quietly behind glass walls and locked doors. And while Alexander Morrelo stood on his balcony that night believing he could finally breathe, somewhere else—deep within concrete and steel—Jeffery Wellington was doing what he did best.Plotting.Maximum Security Detention FacilityJeffery sat alone in his cell, hands clasped, eyes fixed on the wall across from him. He hadn’t screamed since the courtroom. Hadn’t raged. Hadn’t thrown another fit.That silence scared the guards more than his earlier outbursts.A guard stopped outside the cell. “You’ve got a visitor.”Jeffery slowly lifted his head.A thin smile appeared.“So,” he murmured. “He finally sent someone.”The door opened.But it wasn’t Alexander.A man in a dark suit stepped inside—calm, composed, unfamiliar. No badge. No official insignia.“Mr. Wellington,” the man said politely. “You don’t know me. But
City
Chapter 174Outside the CourtroomJeffery had been taken to a holding cell inside the courthouse. The police had tightened security; he was no longer free to roam, and every attempt to contact him was monitored.His face was pale, veins prominent as he banged on the steel bars.“They think this ends me?!” he screamed. “They think I’m done? I am untouchable! Do you hear me? UNT-TOUCH-ABLE!”A guard approached cautiously.“Quiet, Mr. Wellington,” he said firmly.Jeffery turned, eyes wild, and snarled.“You’ll see! You all will see! Alexander Hale… Morrelo… I will drag everyone down with me!”Even behind bars, his voice carried malice, a promise that the battle wasn’t over.Alexander stepped out into the brisk afternoon air. The sun hit his face, and for the first time in weeks, he allowed himself to breathe without the tightness in his chest.Matias and Luca flanked him as they approached the car.“Boss,” Matias said cautiously, “Jeffery’s out of immediate reach, but he’s dangerous. He’
Jury judgement
CHAPTER Jeffery’s screams still echoed faintly down the hallway long after the courtroom doors slammed shut behind him. Even people outside shifted nervously, hearing the madness in his voice.Judge Hart lifted her gavel but didn’t strike it yet.Instead, she turned her sharp gaze toward the defense table.“Mr. Sanders,” she said dryly, “I sincerely hope your client calms himself before he is brought back into this courtroom.”Jeffery’s lawyer looked like a man ready to resign from the profession entirely.“Yes, Your Honor… I will speak with him.”The judge leaned back in her chair and exhaled through her nose.“Let us proceed.”Velma stood, her voice crisp.“The prosecution calls its next witness: Daniel Cortez.”A man in his late thirties walked in — one of the attackers who had confessed during interrogation. He wore a simple prison jumpsuit, shackles on his wrists, but his face carried a look of acceptance — as if he had finally stopped running.The courtroom buzzed with tension.
The lose case
CHAPTER 179The courthouse was overflowing.Reporters clustered outside the steps like vultures sensing fresh prey. Microphones flashed like lightning, cameras clicked in rapid-fire bursts, and crowds whispered as the black government vehicles pulled up one by one.Everyone knew today would be historic.Everyone knew someone powerful was about to fall.What they didn’t know was how far he would fall.Inside the courthouse, Alexander sat quietly in the first row behind the prosecution table. He looked calm, composed, almost cold — but beneath that exterior was a heart beating with years of betrayal.He stared straight ahead, hands clasped tightly in his lap.Velma Richardson stood beside him, preparing her files with the precision of a surgeon. She had not slept. She had not eaten. For two straight days, she had read every line of evidence, compiling a case so airtight it resembled a sealed tomb.The doors burst open.Jeffery entered.Handcuffed.Escorted by federal agents.His once-im
Peaceful
CHAPTER 178The morning Alexander received the final file, the sun had barely risen. The skies glowed with a thin, pale light like the heavens themselves were holding their breath for what was about to unfold. Alexander stood in his study, staring down at the thick envelope on his desk. His fingers brushed over the seal once, twice, as if preparing himself mentally before opening it.Inside the envelope lay everything—every lie, every manipulation, every hidden transaction, every attempt Jeffery had made to destroy him, including the final brutal evidence of how Jeffery had tried to kill him. The documents were crisp and cold, the ink still smelling faintly of fresh printing.For a long moment, Alexander didn’t move.Not because he was afraid… but because he had been waiting for this day for years.Waiting for justice.Waiting for truth to finally crush the man who had tormented him for so long.Waiting to breathe freely without the weight of betrayal pressing against his ribs.When h
