Jack stood in front of Emma's rent with a bouquet of white roses. It was a good day because he had fulfilled his promise to treat Lily and Irene at once. Even though it wasn't coffee and only mineral water, it didn't matter, it was healthier.

Now, his morning became even brighter after seeing Emma open the door and greet him with the most beautiful smile.

"Hi, um, it's flowers." Jack smiled too, a little nervousness creeping into his heart.

Emma's eyes rounded as Jack handed her a bouquet of w

    Marco’s scream tore through the room before anyone could say a word.It wasn’t a single cry, but a long, broken sound that snapped halfway through, turning into a hoarse roar that barely resembled a human voice.“Stop—STOP—!”His breath caught in his throat, his body stiffened, then convulsed violently. The pain felt endless, arriving all at once, not as a single point, but as waves that emptied his mind completely.He screamed because there was nothing else he could do. Words broke apart in his throat. His breathing became utterly chaotic. His body went rigid, then trembled uncontrollably.Marco begged for it to end, even though he knew it wouldn’t stop anything. But how could his mouth remain silent when it felt as if he were on the brink of death?Every second felt unbearably long. Time seemed to slow down, yet the pain did not lessen in the slightest.Greg and Rapth instinctively turned to look at Jack.Jack did not move.Greg and Rapth swallowed hard, a wave of horror sending chi

    Ava’s throat felt constricted. It was as if a sharp thorn were lodged inside it, making even the act of swallowing painful. Mr. Hall seemed to be able to read her thoughts.It couldn’t be denied, earlier, Ava had indeed planned to give Laura a harsh warning once they were out of Mr. Hall’s supervision. But now, she truly didn’t dare try to defy him.“Very well, Mr. Hall,” Ava said with a fearful smile. “You can trust me.”She smiled again at Laura. “Come, Miss.” In an instant, she transformed into someone polite, gentle, and almost virtuous.“W-what about us, Sir?” Greg asked, gathering his courage. Rapth waited anxiously for the answer.“Stay here. Move the old man onto the bed. When the doctor arrives, he will receive his punishment.”Ava, who had just stepped past the doorway, widened her eyes upon hearing Jack’s words. She was afraid Jack might change his mind because she was too slow to carry out his orders, and that she, too, would receive punishment like Marco Ring.'Does Mr. H

    Jack cast a brief glance at Laura before turning his gaze back to Marco. The look in his eyes held such immense fury that the whites were stained red.“You treated Miss Kills like an inanimate object,” he said through clenched teeth. “You took pleasure in her pain. You built your enjoyment from her screams, from her trauma.”Jack’s jaw hardened.“Someone like you doesn’t deserve a quick ending.”Marco shook his head weakly. “I–I… I can pay. Whatever you want…”Jack ignored him.He pulled his phone from his pocket. His movements were calm, far too calm for a situation this brutal. Jack dialed a number he had been calling frequently lately.“Hello, Mr. Hall. Is there something you need?” Jack’s secretary, Rafael Lewis, asked respectfully.“I need a specialized surgeon,” Jack said, concise and firm. “The best one. Have him brought to Paradise Roadway within ten minutes.”He paused, listening to the response on the other end.“Yes. An emergency case,” he concluded. “Make sure he comes.”T

    “You will only be able to do that if I still allow you to stay alive.”Jack’s words hung in the air: cold, heavy, and suffocating.Marco Ring fell silent. His already pale face seemed to lose what little color remained, while blood continued to seep from the bullet wound in his thigh.The oppressive silence made Ava Cobra swallow hard. Her heart pounded violently as she looked at Jack, then shifted her gaze toward Marco Ring’s two bodyguards, who were still standing with their hands raised, their faces rigid with fear.If the man called Mr. Hall could end their boss’s life so easily, then killing them would be effortless as well. That thought alone made their hearts race uncontrollably.Jack glanced briefly at Ava. His gaze was sharp, yet calm. Far too calm for a situation this dangerous.'Could Mr. Hall actually be a psychopath?'Ava swallowed.“Ava,” Jack said quietly, though his tone carried unmistakable authority. “Don’t you keep several cobra snakes?”Ava flinched. Her brows lift

    Marco’s eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, not only from the tightening grip around his throat, but also from Ava’s words.Did this damned woman want her dead now?!Marco struggled desperately to pry Jack’s hand away from his neck. But he was nothing more than an old man, lacking any real strength. His face had turned deathly pale.“Mr. Hall… please don’t dirty your hands,” Laura pleaded. She didn’t want Jack dragged into deeper trouble because of her.Marco Ring, nearly losing consciousness from lack of air, collapsed limply onto the floor after Jack released his grip. He gasped wildly, trying to gulp back all the oxygen he had been deprived of.Jack guided Laura to a chair and told her to sit. He then ordered the other prostitutes out of the VIP room, not wanting them to witness the chaos that was clearly about to escalate.When Greg and Rapth momentarily let their guard down, Marco’s two bodyguards broke free and fought back.The guards from the two side

    'Mr. Marco smiled when I screamed.''My pain was his pleasure.''The more I begged, the more he enjoyed it.'Jack closed his eyes. Laura’s voice raw, suffocating, and helpless, echoed in his mind, just as she had told him in the car earlier.His jaw tightened. The muscles in his neck bulged.Jack clenched his right fist while his left hand gripped Laura’s trembling fingers tightly.“Madam Ava, Miss Kills has arrived,” Rapth said haltingly.“What? Excellent!!” Ava broke into a wide smile. But then her brows furrowed. “Wait, why are you addressing her so politely?”Before Rapth could answer, Marco Ring spoke first. “Who is Miss Kills?”Marco slammed his hand on the table. “I don’t give a damn who she is. All I want is Laura. Where is my weak little pet?! Why did I have to wait so long while you entertain me with these useless women?!”“Ah!!”The prostitutes Ava had offered earlier to distract Marco were shoved violently to the floor.“Mr. Marco, please calm yourself,” Ava said with a br
