Chapter seventeen
The hall didn’t breathe. It was calm with lots of them staring. Kael’s body lay still on the table, blood slowly spreading beneath him, dripping off the edge in quiet, rhythmic drops.No one spoke.Not even Seraphina.Her fingers trembled at her sides, her lips parted slightly as if she wanted to say something—but nothing came out.It was too late. There was nothing she or even anyone could do. The stage was lit with just one man's body lying before them all. Leo swallowed hard. “He’s… dead.”Marcus didn’t respond. His eyes were locked on Kael’s chest.It wasn’t moving, not even a little.A soft chuckle broke the silence.Alaric.He stepped forward slowly, his gloved hand brushing lightly against the edge of the table as though he were admiring a piece of art.“Such a brave young man…” he murmured. “Or perhaps… just foolish.”Seraphina snapped. “You said you could bring him back!” she shouted, her voice cracking. “Do it!”Joe stared back at her, wondering why she was this feisty wh
Chapter sixteen
The whole room froze. Eyes followed the strange man like he was a god when he moved. "Who is that?" Leo said with a smirk. Kael's gaze furrowed a bit. He remembered Dennis's word again. Someone was trying to play his role, but then all he had to do was relax and see how things were going to unfold. A golden chair was immediately brought towards him to sit in. The man was wearing a glove on his right hand, and his gaze was quite serious. The music quieted down a bit. "You all gathered here waiting for me. Didn't you?" his voice echoed. His feet clinking against the marble floor. Joe walked forward; he slowly bowed his face to the ground. "We didn't know you were going to grace us with your presence, mighty one. Welcome." Kael laughed gently, covering his mouth. One of the guards saw him and gave him a cold face. Seraphina's gaze landed on this strange man and rushed towards him with her knees bent. "Please, I need you to heal my father. I am ready to give you everything t
Chapter fifteen
Both men looked back and were stunned. "What are you doing, Peter?" she said, slowly walking towards them. Kael paused. He didn't know the woman, but she was pretending to know him, and not only that, she was prettier and well-dressed. By now, Kael knew all the families who wronged him by sigils and even crests. His eyes landed on her breast, and he could see the sigil she carried.A silver crest shaped like a coiled serpent wrapped around a crown."Stand down!" she barked at the man holding the baton. "Sure thing, Miss Veronica. I didn't know he was with you," he said with a bow.His gaze landed back on Kael, and he immediately bowed. "I am sorry. I failed to recognize you. Kael's gaze furrowed slightly. Recognize me? No one knew who he was. Not even the Locharts. So whoever this woman was must be mistaken. "You should have shown him the card. Did you not have that, Peter?" She asked again. Kael coughed before he simply adjusted his cuffs. "I am sorry, Miss, but I think y
Chapter fourteen
The Locharts stepped out into the night with a black SUV waiting patiently inside the mansion. Its engine purred to life like a beast the moment the chauffeur saw Seraphina, Leo, and Marcus walking towards the car. "I can't believe we are doing this." Seraphina said with a smile. "You need to behave, little sis; I don't want Leo thinking we need him so badly." Leo said with a corner of his eyes raised. Marcus stopped, just a few steps away from the car. "And what about Kael? What do we do?" Seraphina frowned. "You do have a way of ruining my night, don't you?"Marcus looked at her and then back at Leo. "We don't want him around, but yet he is your husband. What if something bad happened? Leo laughed. "Really, Marcus? A guy who could shoot that long distance and a man who could fight. What possibly could go wrong?" Seraphina walked into the car without another word. "You need to ease up, man. Kael is nothing that old man paints him to be." Leo said, "Do you even think a man lik
Chapter thirteen
The silence Arthur left behind didn’t feel normal.It wasn’t just quiet—it was heavy.Like the walls themselves had heard something they weren’t supposed to.Seraphina was still smiling… but it no longer reached her eyes."...Kael?" she muttered again, almost to herself, as if repeating it would suddenly make it make sense.Then she scoffed loudly, turning away. “This is ridiculous.”Vivian didn’t respond immediately. That alone was enough to shift the tension.Because Vivian Lochart always had something to say.Always.But now… her gaze was fixed on the file Arthur had dropped.Marcus noticed it first."Mother?" he called, narrowing his eyes. “You’re not actually buying into this nonsense, are you?”Vivian slowly walked forward. She picked up the file.And for a brief second—just a second—her fingers hesitated.Then she opened it.Leo leaned over her shoulder casually. “Let’s see what kind of fairy tale the old man—”His words stopped mid-sentence. His expression changed.Marcus frow
chapter twelve
The Lochart's mansion felt like it was going to collapse anytime soon the moment Arthur walked back in. "How dare you?!" he barked, staring at Seraphina."What did I do now, Grandpa?" Seraphina said, rolling her eyes. "Do I need to babysit a grown-up man?" Arthur's face lit up with rage. "Vivan!" he said with venom. "Is this how you raise my granddaughter? A woman who talks back at her elder?" Vivan smirked, rolling her eyes like she didn't care about what her father had just said. "Dad, you need to understand that Kael is not a kid. Why would he do that? Did he even understand the gravity of what he did? How dare he challenge Leo?" she said. Arthur let out an air of frustration. "Oh my god! Do you even know what is at stake?" Leo laughed. "Grandpa, whatever it is that is bothering you, we can handle it." Arthur turned, his cane tapping the ground in frustration. "And what exactly have you been doing? Have you seen the chart? Our business is dwindling. Our stocks are dropping,
