CHAPTER 83
Mr. Rolling leaned back in his leather chair, steepling his fingers as he looked over the tablet at Slayde. The initial shock had vanished, replaced by the calculating focus of a veteran businessman who recognized a very dangerous, very useful deal."Alright, Burgess," Mr. Rolling said smoothly. "If my useless son handed you the keys to my attention, I suppose I should hear you out. What specific information do you want on the den and its investors?""Everything," Slayde rumbled. "Names, offshore accounts, hidden partners, and every credit tied to their operation."Mr. Rolling stared at him for a quiet second, then nodded once. He spun his monitor toward Slayde, pulling up a series of encrypted corporate directories and private financial records.For the next ten minutes, the office was heavy with quiet focus. The CEO rapidly brought up private files, pointing out shell companies and silent partners, while Slayde stood over the dark desk, his eyes absorbing every detail.Suddenly,
CHAPTER 82
Mr. Rolling arched a silver eyebrow, a dry, amused smirk touching his lips.He unbuttoned his velvet jacket, revealing a remarkably lean, firm torso beneath his fitted vest, the subtle frame of a man who clearly spent as much time with elite personal trainers and bio-hacking therapies as he did in the boardroom."Are you asking because you doubt Caleb is mine?" Mr. Rolling asked, his voice laced with smooth arrogance. "I take exceptional care of my body, stranger. Strict regimen, cellular therapy, optimal nutrition. That is why I look this way. And yes, underneath this tailored suit, I assure you I am in peak physical condition."Without waiting for an invitation, Slayde pulled out one of the heavy, handcrafted leather chairs in front of the obsidian desk and sat down. The wood creaked loudly under his immense weight. Crossing one leg over the other, he rested his large hands on his knee and met the CEO’s gaze dead-on."Is Caleb really your son?" Slayde asked, his voice completely fl
CHAPTER 81
Without another word, Caleb turned on his heel, kept his head down, and marched straight toward the executive washrooms like a disciplined schoolboy sent to the principal's office.Fred stood glued to the spot, mouth agape, utterly paralyzed as he watched the CEO's wild son obey the silent giant without a hint of hesitation.Fred slowly closed his mouth and swallowed hard as Caleb vanished around the corner. Turning back to Slayde, his posture instantly stiffened. He adjusted his wire-rimmed glasses with a trembling finger, trying his absolute best to pull his shattered executive authority back together."What did you do to him?" Fred demanded, his voice dropping into a hard, accusatory tone. He poked a stiff finger toward Slayde’s broad chest, keeping a careful inch of air between his nail and the giant's coat. "What kind of cheap threat did you use on the Young Master? Caleb Rolling doesn't answer to anyone in this building except his father. He certainly doesn't take orders fro
CHAPTER 80
The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, revealing a sprawling, ultra-modern penthouse lobby. At the far end stood a pair of towering, dark double doors leading directly into the main office of the Rolling Conglomerate's patriarch.Caleb’s voice caught in his throat.Slayde stepped out of the cabin, his heavy boots sinking into the plush carpet as he walked toward the suite, leaving a terrified Caleb behind to gulp down the remaining words he’d been desperately trying to deploy. Caleb shrank into the corner of the lift, staring at Slayde's massive back. The fixer moved with the quiet, terrifying momentum of an impending storm.Caleb’s hand hovered over the door controls. As the stainless-steel panels began to slide shut, they offered a golden escape hatch right back down to the safety of the street.‘I can just go. Press the button, leave him here, and pretend I was never involved…’The doors were inches apart. Ahead, Slayde reached out a leather-gloved hand toward the han
CHAPTER 79
"Ah...!"Maya gasped, her hands flying to her face as she winced hard. She forced her eyes shut, taking deep, ragged breaths through her nose and fighting with every ounce of her willpower to suppress the tears. Crying would make the swelling even worse, and the pain was already blinding. She stood there, trembling, suffocating her own sobs in a desperate bid to keep her healing face from tearing apart.Ari groaned, pushing himself up from the rough asphalt. He wiped a streak of dirt from his chin and stared up at Maya, his expression a mix of profound heartbreak and utter confusion."Maya... what did you just say?" Ari's voice trembled as he staggered to his feet. "Send me to the thugs? Leave the loan to you? I didn't run away! I didn't gamble our lives away, sweetheart, I swear to you! They kidnapped me! They forced me to—""Stop lying!" Maya choked out, the words burning her throat.Before he could step any closer, she placed both hands against his chest and shoved him away wit
CHAPTER 78
She sighed, a tiny, muffled sound through the gauze. It had been hours since Slayde had left to hunt down the source of her father's engineered debt. She knew how formidable he was, the sheer, terrifying presence of the giant was usually enough to make grown men scatter, but a heavy weight of anxiety refused to leave her chest."Layde..." she muttered under her breath.Was he in trouble? She knew he was strong, perhaps the strongest man she had ever encountered, but the syndicates in the lower sectors didn't play by the rules. They had endless numbers, heavy, strong men, and a complete lack of mercy. A single man, no matter how much of a monster he seemed, could still be overwhelmed if enough guns were pointed at him.She stared at the quiet door of the safe house, her hands tightening around the base of her bowl, praying that the shadow she relied on would walk back through it intact.She pulled the straw from her lips, her eyes hardening as she stared at the wall."I just hope
