Chapter 81: The Weight of the Crown
Kelvin's POV I thought revealing my identity would end the war.Turns out, it only changed the battlefield.Now the enemy isn’t just Zac, or Justin, or their underground schemes. It’s the blinding flashes, the microphones shoved in my face, the endless headlines twisting every move I make. The moment my face hit the screen, the media pounced like vultures sensing fresh meat.“Kelvin Flynn spotted buying coffee alone, where's Brianna?”“Is Eclipse Group’s CEO hiding another secret heir?”“Kelvin Flynn’ morning jog fuels marriage rumors.”The absurdity is laughable until it’s not.They’re everywhere. Outside my estate. Following my car. Posing as delivery drivers, janitors, even fake fans just to get a closer look. Every step I take is watched, recorded, dissected. I can’t breathe without someone wanting a quote or a photo.“Sir, we need to move now,” one of the new bodyguards says as I step out of the office.I glance at him tall, scar-faced, alert. He’s one of the A4 elites Lydia hir
Chapter 80: The Unveiling
Kelvin's POV My identity alone used to be a weapon sharp enough to command rooms and silent enough to cut through the noise of doubt. But now, I realize something deeper: my identity is also a target.I’ve always believed that power lies in mystery. The less people know, the more they fear, the more they respect. For months, I’ve played my role behind the scenes as an invisible puppeteer shaping Eclipse Group’s destiny. But today, I learned the cost of that invisibility.When I walk into the boardroom this morning, the tension hangs like smoke. Whispers stop mid-air. Phones fall silent. Olivia is by my side, jaw clenched, eyes sharp. Eddy flanks the other side, his stance ready for war.There’s no more room for secrecy.“I am Kelvin Flynn,” I say, voice steady. “I am the Chairman and CEO of Eclipse Group.”Silence. For three seconds, maybe four. Then the room erupts not in outrage, but in realization. Some nod. A few gasp. One older shareholder, Mr. Kwan, lets out a low, satisfied ch
Chapter 79: The Houdini Act
Lydia’s POVZac’s back disappears into his black SUV, tires screeching as he flees the warehouse. *Not this time, you bastard.* I press my earpiece. “Olivia, track him. Now.” A pause, then Olivia’s crisp reply: “Got him. Moving northeast toward the waterfront.” Good. I kneel beside Eddy, my fingers pressing against his pulse point. His breathing is ragged, his face a mess of blood and bruises. Brianna grips my arm, her nails digging in. “Is he…” “Alive,” I snap. “But we need to move.” The distant wail of sirens grows louder. Right on schedule. Kelvin's POV As soon as Zac storms out of the basement, slamming the heavy door behind him, the silence that follows is deafening. Blood drips from my mouth. My muscles ache with every breath. My wrists burn from the tight rope binding them to the chair. But despite the pain, my mind clings to one thought, Lydia.She knows.She has to.I lean my head back against the cold wall, forcing myself to stay conscious, hoping she’s doi
Chapter 78: The Devil’s Bargain
Kelvin's POV Zac’s men came out of hiding like shadows, striking with brutal precision. Armed with clubs, they descended on Eddy and the team that accompanied him, swinging without mercy. The air filled with the sickening thud of wood meeting flesh, the sharp cracks of bones breaking, and muffled cries of pain. Eddy fought back fiercely, throwing punches, kicking, doing everything he could to hold them off. But the numbers were against him. One of the attackers swung a heavy club at his ribs, sending him crashing to the ground.Before he could get up, another man plunged a knife into his side. The pain was instant and blinding, but he gritted his teeth, refusing to scream. Blood soaked through his clothes rapidly, and still, they didn't stop. Another stab landed this time near his abdomen followed by a vicious blow to the head with the butt of a club.Eddy was barely conscious when the attackers finally retreated, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. His body was motionless,
Chapter 77: The Torture
Pain pulses through my ribs with every breath.I hang from rusted chains, wrists aching and shoulders burning. My shirt’s soaked with blood some dried, some still fresh. The metallic tang of it mixes with the moldy dampness of the basement. Dim light flickers above, swinging slightly with the draft, casting shadows that dance like ghosts on the cracked concrete walls.Zac’s underground dungeon it reeks of his ego.He leans in now, lips curved into that familiar smirk I’ve hated since the first day I laid eyes on him.“Well, well… Chairman Kelvin.” His voice drips with sarcasm, but the venom underneath is real. “I always knew there was something about you.”I look up slowly. My face is swollen, one eye nearly shut. Blood trickles from a cut on my cheek. Still, I say nothing. Not yet.Zac walks around me, arms behind his back like some war general inspecting his prisoner.“You wanted to play dumb,” he says, chuckling. “Act like the humble strategist, hiding behind Lydia and Eddy. But it
Chapter 76: The Betrayal
The news of Justin’s release reaches me sooner than expected. He walks out of the cell with nothing but shame and swollen pride. From the footage I watch later, he doesn't even look up as he exits the precinct, his head hung, clothes wrinkled, jaw tight. The once-proud son of a business magnate, reduced to nothing. Serves him right.But I also know what desperation does to a man like him. And sure enough, he does the unthinkable.Justin walks straight into the lion’s den.Zac’s office. The very same place he once caught his wife sprawled across Zac’s desk. The same desk where his ego and marriage were shattered. That’s where he returns to beg.I don’t see it with my own eyes, but Eddy gets the footage. Internal cameras leaked from a contact on the inside. I sit and watch, jaw clenched as Justin steps inside, shuffling like a man with no purpose left. His eyes scan the room briefly and then he drops to his knees. Just like that.“I need help,” he says, voice hollow.Zac leans back in h
