At that moment, Mr. Brown was now standing right in front of Tyler.

He had taken his time to observe the young man, and from every single detail from the way Tyler stood, to the way he looked back at him without a hint of fear Mr. Brown could already confirm everything he had heard. The reports were not exaggerated. Tyler truly looked like nothing special. Just a regular man. No aura of nobility, no presence of power. His clothes were plain, his stance unassuming. If one were to pass by him on the street, they wouldn't even glance twice.

And that… that was what made it all so unbelievable.

Then Mr. Brown’s lips thinned. he couldn't believe this is the one they chose? This is the boy who caught the attention of a royal princess?

He found it ridiculous, how could someone so ordinary, someone who didn’t even carry himself with an ounce of royal etiquette, possibly be in the same space as them, let alone be considered for anything that concerned the royal family?

He had worked under the m

    The rage in his chest was starting to spread, boiling his thoughts. He began pacing restlessly, running a hand through his hair, muttering to himself, then turning back and shouting again.“You don’t know what I’ve been through because of that bastard!” he barked, pointing his finger toward the air as if Stella’s ghost was floating in the room. “You don’t know how many poor, smelly areas I entered just to find him! You don’t know how many eyes saw me begging on the street for his location like some lowlife! I ME! Nathaniel Jr. stooped that low! And now you’re telling me you came back like this? Looking like a failed dog that lost the fight?”He took a long, shaky breath. Then, his voice dropped lower… colder.“If you open your mouth now and tell me that you failed…” he muttered, his voice trembling, eyes twitching, “I swear to everything you believe in, I will kill you myself. You’ll beg for those bruises again. I’ll make you feel pain you didn’t even know existed.”He stepped even cl

    At that moment, Mr. Brown didn’t say a word. His lips were trembling, and each step he took was slower than the last his legs shaky, his breathing shallow. He was limping toward the center of the living room, where the entire Nathaniel family stood frozen, watching in a confused, almost fearful silence.Every step he took echoed like a drumbeat in their ears.He looked like a shadow of the powerful man they once called their most trusted fixer. No trace of the usual pride or arrogance. No swagger. No soldiers behind him. That alone was alarming. Whenever Brown went on a mission even the simplest ones he never came back alone. His men were always with him, loyal and fierce, following like hounds behind a predator. But today… he was all alone. Broken. Battered. Barely breathing.Then just as he reached the middle of the room, directly in front of them his knees buckled.He collapsed with a loud thud, hitting the marble floor with a groan that was almost too painful to hear. His face hit

    Upon hearing what her son had just said, Mrs. Nathaniel turned to him with a calm but firm expression. She could see the guilt and frustration sitting heavy on Nathaniel Jr.’s face like a burden he couldn’t shake off. And as a mother who had watched her son grow with such high expectations, she knew that this moment this sense of failure was eating him up inside.With a soft sigh, she reached out and placed her hand gently on his shoulder.“Listen to me, my son,” she said warmly, yet with a steady voice that demanded his attention. “You should not think of it in that way. This is not about pride or who takes the credit. This is about our family’s future. When the time comes, you will have Princess Naomi by your side. And that… that is what matters the most.”She tightened her grip slightly, her eyes locking onto his. “Not who brings her here, not how it happens, not even what sacrifices are made. What matters is that it happens. That we win. That everything we've worked for everything

    At that moment, the Nathaniels were still seated in their large living room, surrounded by opulence and silence. The once lively chatter had died down. Although some of them had stepped out briefly to take care of their personal matters, they had all returned quickly, not wanting to miss the moment they believed was coming the moment Mr. Brand would walk in, dragging Tyler like a defeated dog.They believed it was only a matter of time. After all, tomorrow was a big day, a very important one for the Nathaniel family, and they couldn’t afford any slip-up. Brown had never failed them before, and they didn’t expect him to start now.Yet the longer they waited, the heavier the air became.The afternoon sun had dimmed, and golden rays that once streamed through the tall windows had faded into shadows. The clock on the wall ticked louder than usual. The maid tiptoed as she served tea, scared to disturb the growing tension.Suddenly, Mrs. Nathaniel, who had been quiet for some time, shifted

    At that moment, the silence was deadly. Mr. Brown had barely taken two steps to flee when he suddenly froze in place.Then His eyes widened in sheer horror Tyler was already in front of him.Not behind. Not beside. Not even halfway there, right in front of him.Like a shadow that appeared out of nowhere, silently and without warning.Immediately Mr. Brown's heart jumped into his throat. His legs betrayed him instantly. Before he could think, they gave way completely, and he collapsed onto the floor landing harshly on his buttocks. His hands trembled as he pushed himself backward, crawling like a scared animal, dragging himself on the cold ground, his pride completely forgotten.His eyes darted to the spot where Tyler had been standing just a second ago.He raised a shaky hand and pointed. “Y-You were just there… just now! Over there!” His voice cracked, and his breath came in sharp, ragged gasps. “I—I saw you! You were standing over there. How did you get here? What the hell is going
