William received a hard slap across his face.

“Why are my clothes not ironed?” Damon barked angrily.

“You never asked me to iron your clothes, Master Damon.” William explained trying to hide the pain he felt from the slap.

“What? are you calling me a liar?” Damon angrily slammed his fist against his face.

The punch sent William to the floor, blood dripping from his cut lip.

Damon’s arms were huge and well built. He was a professional boxer and the best in Crenshaw city, so getting punched by him felt like being hit with a hard brick.

Damon had forgotten to tell William to iron his clothes, but he was going to punish him regardless.

William quickly went to his knees. “I’m sorry Master Damon. Forgive my forgetfulness.”

Damon wasn’t having his apology and kicked him across the face inflicting another injury. “You’re more useless than a pig. I always feel bad for my sister who had to marry a piece of shit like you.”

William quickly crawled back to his feet. “I will iron clothes right away. Please forgive me, Master Damon.”

Damon smiled, he liked to see William cower at his feet. It made him feel powerful.

“Good” he spat as he walked away.

Damon squeezed his knuckles as he remained on the floor. He was humiliated daily but there was nothing he could do about it.

Not far off, Damon’s sister Sophia and her friend Jade giggled at William’s expense.

“How did you people find such an obedient dog?” Jade mocked him.

“He has to be obedient. If not, he knows he’ll be dealt with like the dog he is. He would never dare go against my brother.” Sophia replied.

Still clenching his fists, William struggled to stand up and went straight to ironing Damon’s clothes.

He had barely started ironing the clothes when his mother-in law showed up.

“What are you doing here? Where is my lunch?” Madam Fiona barked angrily.

Damon bowed his head. “I’m sorry Madam Fiona. I had to quickly iron Master Damon’s clothes. I will prepare it soon.”

Fiona picked up the iron and pressed it on William’s hand. The hotness of the iron caused him to scream in pain.

“So you want me to remain hungry?” she spat angrily.

William held his hand in pain holding back tears. The iron didn’t completely burn his skin but it still did a lot of damage.

“I-I’ll get to it right away Madam Fiona.” he managed to let out some words.

This was William’s life ever since he had gotten married to the daughter of the Grey family, Scarlett.

Apparently, Richard Grey, Scarlett’s grandfather knew William’s grandfather when he was alive. He wanted Scarlett to get married to him so their marriage was arranged.

Although he didn’t know the relationship Richard Grey had with his grandfather, he fell in love with Scarlett the moment he laid his eyes on her.

Scarlett on the other hand wasn’t really in support of the marriage, but she didn’t want to go against her grandfather’s wishes so she agreed.

She knew she was in line to inherit the Grey empire and didn’t want to do anything that would ruin her chances.

Since getting married into the Grey family, William was treated even less than a servant. Although the Grey family had servants that worked for them, they chose to make William do menial jobs in the house.

With his injured hand, William struggled to iron the rest of Damon’s clothes before heading to the kitchen to prepare Madame Fiona’s lunch.

After he was done preparing it, he brought it to Madam Fiona who sat comfortably in the living room. He went on his knees and bowed his head as he served her.

She had instructed him that he must always kneel whenever he wanted to serve her food and he had to remain on his knees until she had finished eating.

As Fiona ate her food, she suddenly squeezed her face and spit the food on William’s face. “What is this pig food you served me? Why are you so useless?”

Fiona had seen a new recipe online and had asked William to make it. He followed the recipe but she didn’t like it and decided he was to blame.

“I’m sorry ma’am, I just followed the recipe you gave me.” William tried to explain himself.

Fiona’s face twisted with anger. “That’s a lie! If you had followed the recipe, it wouldn’t have tasted like this.”

Fiona had never tried that dish before so she actually had no idea what it tasted like. William had made it perfectly, but it didn’t taste how she imagined it and decided to take it out on him.

She picked up the plate and dumped it over William’s head. The food flowed down his head and onto his clothes. Some of the food dripped down onto the rug.

“You’ve stained my rug, you pig! Clean it now!” Fiona shouted angrily.

William was about to get up to get a rag to clean it up when Fiona thundered. “Where do you think you’re going? Lick it up!”

William’s eyes widened. “What?”

“You heard me you pig! I said lick it up!” Fiona stepped on his head pushing it close to the ground.

“Yes Madam Fiona.” William brought out his tongue and licked the food off the floor.

“Lick it properly!” she said pressing her food harder on his head.

When he was done licking the food off the rug, he felt a rush of shame and humiliation.

Fiona smiled with satisfaction. “That’s a good dog. Now get out of my sight!”

William took the food away and went to get himself cleaned up.

“William!” Sophia shouted his name. He couldn’t even get a break in this house. What could she want this time?

He quickly rushed down. Sophia Grey was one of the worst members of the Grey family.

She always looked for every opportunity to make William’s life difficult.

He definitely didn’t want to offend her. He quickly arrived where Sophia and her friend Jade were seated. “Yes. Miss Sophia. What can I do for you?”

“Our feet are tired. We need to rest them on something.”

“Do I get you a stool Miss Sophia?” William offered.

However, Sophia had something else in mind. “Get on your knees you dog! You’ll be our stool.”

William quickly went down on all fours. Sophia and Jade both placed their feet on his back and continued to chat. The weight of their legs hurt his back, but he dared not complain.

Just then, Scarlett ran into the living room. There was a frightened look on her face.

The next words out of her mouth left everyone in the room in shock.

    Natasha folded her arms and leaned against a metal table. “So let me get this straight. You plan to turn Ryker’s right-hand men against him?” William nodded without hesitation. She scoffed lightly. “That’s suicide. Thomford and Rayner are practically glued to his boots.” “They're loyal,” William said, “because Ryker has made them promises, but if they think he’s going to betray them…“ “They won’t take it well,” Natasha finished slowly. William turned and opened a hard case resting on the crate beside him. Inside was the AI mask. Matte black with subtle sensors lining the surface. He lifted it out gently and showed it to Natasha “This is how we make them doubt Ryker.” Natasha frowned, looking confused. “A mask? How’s that going to help” “It’s more than just a mask,” William said. “This mask the ability to perform facial mimicry and voice modulation” She crossed her arms. “So you are going to pretend to be someone?” “Not just anyone” William put on the mask and t

    All official reports pointed to a gas leak as the cause of the explosion. There was also evidence that Mia and her son had died in the fire. However, something didn’t feel right Natasha. She just couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to it. Her plan was to review CCTV footage around the apartment building just before and after the explosion and see if she could find anything suspicious. She sat alone in her surveillance room, staring at multiple angles from nearby street cameras. One of the cameras partially captured a van pulling up across the street. It was a dark van with no plate number and it remained idle for several minutes. No one got out, at least from the angle that she could see. And some minutes before the explosion, the van was gone. Natasha leaned in, rewound the feed, and watched again. It didn’t feel random. If it was just a passerby, why sit there? Why leave the scene so quickly? Her gut told her something was off. She pulled up another angle and th

    The explosion roared through the air, a fireball erupting from the fourth-floor windows. Glass and debris scattered across the street and sirens wailed in the distance. Inside the van, Jayden flinched and buried his face in his mother’s coat. She whispered, “It’s okay, baby. It’s over.” William glanced at her. “No. It’s just beginning. But you’re free now. Both of you.” Mia looked at him, her eyes brimming with tears. “They’ll think we’re dead?” William nodded. “By the time the fire department gets in, the place will be burnt beyond recognition. “The bone residue I left would confirm that they were people inside, but they won't be able to identify it. Ryker will definitely think you're dead.” William added. Mia swallowed. “But if they find out…” “They won’t,” William said firmly. She nodded, gripping her son tightly. “Thank you for rescuing us.” Meanwhile, back at the apartment was total chaos. The guards guarding the outside of the building were in shock. The guards sta

    Roland showed William some footage on his screen. “I was able to hack into the CCTV footage of the building. It seems they are being held on the fourth floor. Room 75.” “Are you sure?” William asked. “They constantly bring food for two people and the room is guarded, so I'm guessing it must be Dr. Frankenbaum’s wife and son.” Roland explained. William gave an approving nod. “Alright. Good job.” “We have to move quick. The Dr. has about three days left to complete the bioweapon. If we are going to convince him to sabotage it, we have to act as soon as possible.” William added. Roland's brows furrowed. “There's still a problem though.” William raised a brow. “What?” “Think about it. If we rescue the Dr Frankenbaum's family, General Ryker is going to know something is up, and it might mess up the whole plan.” Roland explained. William paused to think before finally speaking. “You're right. But I think I have a way for us to rescue them without the General being suspicious

    “I need some sort of distraction. Call Rex and tell him to come meet me immediately.” William said before ending the call. About fifteen minutes later, Rex pulled up with three of his men. He stepped out of the vehicle, adjusting his jacket as he approached William with a calm, confident stride. “We're here, sir. What do you need us to do?” Rex asked, eyes scanning the area instinctively. “I need to get into that building,” William said, nodding toward the warehouse in the distance. “And I need someone to distract the guards so I can slip in and out without anyone noticing,” he added. Rex cracked his knuckles and grinned. “We’ll handle it.” He motioned for his men to follow, then leaned toward William. “Give us three minutes.” William nodded and melted into the shadows behind a line of parked trucks. Rex and his men strolled up toward the main road that ran parallel to the warehouse. A moment later, two of them began arguing loudly and dramatically. One shoved th

    The general turned away from the door and began to walk towards the closet. Ryker's brow formed a hard line. “What's in the closet?” Dr. Frankenbaum gave a nervous laugh. “Nothing. Just my clothes and labcoat.” William held his breath as the General walked towards the closet. The stopped for a moment, placing his hand near the gun at his waist before swinging the closet door open. However, aside from the hung clothes, it was empty. “I told you, it's just my clothes.” Frankenbaum said, trying to sound calm, although beads of sweat had been gathering on his forehead. Ryker grunted as he left the room. “Remember, you have a week to get it ready.” Dr. Frankenbaum breathed a sigh of relief as the General left. “He's gone. You can come out now.” he whispered to William. William cautiously rolled out from under the bed where he had been hiding. “That was close.” he said as he dusted himself off. Frankenbaum fell back to his seat. “He's moved the test run up. It's going to happ
