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
CHAPTER 77
Slayde didn't even turn his head. He subtly shifted his weight, letting the blade slice through the empty air where his torso had been a millisecond prior. Before the attacker could recover his balance, Slayde’s elbow smashed backward like a battering ram, catching the man directly in the temple.The thug’s eyes rolled back instantly, his body going completely limp as he crashed face-first onto the gravel.Caleb let out a high-pitched whimper, burying his face in his knees. ‘He’s not even sweating! He’s dismantling them like he’s taking apart furniture!’The remaining three gang members panicked, abandoning any pretense of tactical discipline. Two tried to circle to get a clear line of sight past Slayde to grab the disguised double, while the third sprayed a frantic burst of automatic fire toward Slayde’s chest.RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!Sparks flew off the concrete. A few stray rounds grazed the thick, armored lining of Slayde’s heavy coat, tearing the fabric but failing to pierce the hi
CHAPTER 76
Before the gang members could capitalize on the chaos and drag the old man behind the gate, Slayde’s arm shot out like a steel crane. He caught the target mid-tumble by the collar of his jumpsuit, effortlessly yanking the coughing man back behind his towering frame alongside the still-shivering Caleb.Slayde stepped forward, completely shielding both of them from the line of fire. His eyes fixed onto the red-headed enforcer with a finality that signaled the time for talking was officially over. With a slow, effortless swat of his hand, Slayde brushed the redhead's fingers off his collar as if discarding an annoying insect."I brought the wrong person," Slayde rumbled flatly, his voice echoing in the tense alleyway. "We are leaving."He didn't want a fight—not out of fear, but because it was an unnecessary expenditure of energy on a contract that was rapidly changing shape. He turned his massive shoulders, preparing to usher the group back toward the sedan."Oh no you don't!" the r
