Chapter 118
The day after the chaos at DeGrand Corporation, the staff were still in disbelief. Whispers lingered in the hallways, floating from office to office. Some of the employees who had witnessed the events firsthand were convinced it had been Donald who had handled the men, but even for them, the memory seemed almost surreal.“I don’t understand it,” one young employee murmured to another as they sipped their morning coffee in the break room. “I saw him take on those men. He’s not even as big as one of them! And yet… he overpowered all of them like they were nothing.”“I know,” the other replied, shaking his head. “I was right outside the office door. I saw how fast he moved, how precise he was. But honestly… it doesn’t make sense. How could one man do that to four or five trained, armed thugs?”Another staff member, older and more cynical, chimed in, his voice low. “There’s more to him than we’re seeing. There has to be. No one can do what he did without some… special skill, or training w

The office was tense. Donald’s presence filled the room with an authority that seemed almost tangible. The four men who had stormed Ivy’s office, armed and confident just minutes before, now cowered on the floor, their faces bruised, clothes disheveled, and pride completely shattered. Their pleas for mercy echoed weakly against the walls, but Donald remained unmoved.“You think begging will save you?” he asked calmly, his voice ice-cold, eyes fixed on each of them in turn. “You crossed a line that you cannot return from.”One of the men, the self-proclaimed leader, struggled to sit up, blood trickling from his split lip. “Please… Mister… we didn’t know who we were dealing with! Thomas… Thomas sent us… we didn’t have a choice!”Donald’s lips curled into a faint, humorless smile. “Choice? There is always a choice. You chose wrong. And now, you’ll pay the price for it. Not today, not tomorrow—you’ll pay until you understand what happens when you threaten the people I protect.”The men lo

The man on the floor groaned softly, his face turned away from Donald, jaw clenched as if silence alone might save him.Donald stood over him, unmoving.The office was a mess—chairs overturned, files scattered, the faint smell of fear still hanging in the air. Outside, distant sirens wailed, but inside the room, time seemed to slow, tightening around the single moment Donald was waiting for.“Don’t pretend this ends if you keep quiet,” Donald said calmly. “You’ve already crossed that line.”The man laughed weakly, a sound more bitter than amused. “You don’t understand,” he muttered. “Some names aren’t meant to be spoken.”Donald crouched in front of him, his eyes cold and unwavering. “You’re already in trouble,” he replied. “The only question now is whether you make it worse for yourself.”The man swallowed hard. Sweat trickled down his temple. He knew Donald wasn’t bluffing—but fear still held him back. Fear of the man who had sent them. Fear of what would happen if he talked.“I can

As soon as the four remaining men stepped forward together, something in Donald changed.It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t dramatic. But Ivy felt it instantly.The calm, measured presence she had been clinging to—the steady man who had stood between her and danger—hardened into something colder, sharper. His posture shifted subtly, his shoulders setting, his gaze narrowing with focus so intense it felt almost physical. Whatever restraint he had been holding onto vanished.He didn’t wait for them to make the first move.He attacked.The moment their feet shifted, Donald surged forward, closing the distance with startling speed. There was no hesitation, no wasted motion. He didn’t give them time to think, to plan, or to coordinate. His body moved with purpose, like a weapon finally unsheathed.The first man barely managed to lift his arm before Donald knocked it aside with a sharp, controlled strike. In the same instant, Donald drove a solid blow into the man’s midsection. The impact was precis

The man’s grip on Donald’s shirt tightened. His knuckles whitened as rage surged through him, veins standing out along his forearm. His face was inches from Donald’s, breath hot and bitter, laced with contempt.“You really must want to die,” he repeated, every word dripping with menace.Donald didn’t flinch.His eyes remained steady, dark and unblinking, as if the man’s fury were nothing more than background noise. When he spoke, his voice was calm—almost bored—so composed it felt insulting.“Let me go,” Donald said evenly. “Walk away while you still can.”The man let out a harsh laugh, short and humorless.“You don’t get to give orders here.”His arm drew back, muscles coiling as he prepared to strike, intent written clearly across his face.Ivy screamed.The sound tore from her throat, sharp and desperate, echoing off the walls of the office. Her heart felt like it was about to burst as she watched the man’s arm rise, her mind screaming that she was about to witness something ir

Donald didn’t even hesitate when Ivy pleaded with him.“No,” he said firmly, his voice cutting cleanly through her sobs. It wasn’t loud, but it carried authority—uncompromising and absolute. “I won’t watch you fulfill their wish. Not now. Not ever.”Ivy looked up at him, stunned, her tear-filled eyes wide with disbelief. The resolve in his expression caught her off guard. She had expected resistance, perhaps anger—but not this kind of certainty.“Donald—” she began, her voice barely holding together.“You’re not giving them anything,” he continued, not allowing her to finish. His tone was unwavering, each word deliberate. “Not information. Not obedience. Not fear.”Slowly, carefully, he reached for her arm and guided her backward. The movement was gentle, protective, but decisive. He placed her behind him, positioning himself squarely between Ivy and the men, his body forming an unspoken barrier. Ivy’s breath hitched as she realized what he was doing.He was shielding her.Donald stra
