Lidia’s voice shook as she clutched Jericho’s sleeve.

“What are we going to do now? Tell me Bella’s going to pull through, right?”

Jericho leaned in, whispering through clenched teeth, “I don’t know,” his mind racing for any miracle he still hadn’t tried.

His reservoir of inner inner energy was thinning to a dangerous trickle.

Once that final spark died, Bella’s heartbeat would follow it into the darkness.

Lidia’s gaze darted to the nightstand, where a crimson velvet box rested beside a handwritten note.

The message, penned in Bella’s looping script, read, “If I’m ever in danger, use this pill.”

She had even doodled a tiny red heart beside the words, her faith sealed in ink and emoji.

“Jericho, we have to try this,” Lidia urged, snapping the lid open and lifting the bottle inside.

It was the same elixir Alex had slipped Bella—her treasured keepsake, a vow of forever disguised as medicine.

Jericho scowled. “A trinket from that punk? You really think this’ll pull her back from the grave

    Morning light bled through the cracked shutters of the slum clinic.Alex bent over a frail, middle-aged man whose chest rose and fell shallowly, ribs jutting like bars of a cage beneath paper-thin skin.Malnutrition—that was what Alex fought against every day.Hunger had carved itself into the bones of this place, a wound that refused to close—no matter how tirelessly Josephine worked, no matter how many mouths she tried to feed.A knock came at the door.Alex straightened, wiping his hands on a rag. Kelly stood there, framed in the doorway, her eyes locked on his.“Alfred Kingston wants to see you. In Los Angeles,” she said flatly.A storm churned inside Alex.His bond with Kelly had grown too tangled—love knotted with hate, affection soured into jealousy.He forced a breath, shook his head, and said flatly, “I’m sorry. I’m busy.”“It’s about Jasmine,” Kelly said. “We found her.”The name froze him in place.Up until now, his only hope of finding Jasmine was to wait for Charles to re

    Lord Moretti didn’t answer Alex.He acted as if he hadn’t even seen him. With a flick of his hand, he declared, “Tonight’s business is over. Everyone out—unless you want to die here.”The room froze. Customers turned pale.Everyone knew the stories—when Lord Moretti cleared a club, it wasn’t just an order.It was a warning. Too often, people left in body bags simply because they didn’t move fast enough.The crowd broke into a rush, scrambling for the exits.Panic echoed in their footsteps, every face certain Alex had just stepped into hell.Within minutes, the place was empty. Surveillance cameras clicked off one by one, leaving nothing but silence and danger in the room.In a corner, Mike and his friends huddled together, trembling. None dared move. They knew this had gone beyond a joke.Lord Moretti turned toward his father.“Father, leave this to me. What I’m about to do will be brutal, and I don’t want you to see the blood. Take the others and go.”Leo’s face was tight with rage.

    Alex could’ve killed the thugs without breaking a sweat, but he wasn’t here for them.He needed Mike, and there were still things he didn’t know. So instead of rising to the bait, he sat down on the floor, legs stretched out, calm as stone.The thugs glanced his way, sizing him up, then dismissed him.Their attention turned to Mike’s other companions—bodyguards, clients, whoever they were.Seven of them were forced to their knees. Alex stayed in the corner, silent, watching.The old man shifted his gaze to Mike, his lips curling into a cruel grin.“Hey, punk. Weren’t you acting real arrogant just now? Stealing my woman? Threatening to break my arms?”He tossed his baton to the floor in front of Mike. “Well, here’s your chance. Do it. Break my arm.”Mike forced a weak smile. “That was a misunderstanding. She caught my eye for a second and I forgot who she was with. I was stupid.”“How about this—I’ll cover all your expenses here tonight as an apology.”“Fuck you.” The man’s hand cracke

    “Shoot him!” Voices erupted, weapons raised in every direction.“Whoever kills him takes the money!”Dozens of guns swung toward Alex. But the moment bullets flew, chaos ripped through the crowd.“Stop shooting! You’re hitting your own men!” someone screamed—right before a stray bullet tore through his chest.Gunfire roared from every direction, bullets ripping into the wrong targets.Alex moved like a phantom, weaving through the storm.Every slash, every sidestep turned their fury back on themselves.Blades missed him and cut down allies. Bullets tore through bodies meant to be comrades.The more they fought, the more they destroyed each other.Men dropped where they stood, some clutching wounds, others falling lifeless with clean shots to the head.The scene spiraled into pure chaos—blood, screams, and friendly fire turning the battlefield into a slaughterhouse.From his vantage point, Charles watched in disbelief. To him, Alex wasn’t battling—he was toying with them.“Pathetic,” C

    The next morning, Alex sat watching the news, his eyes narrowing as the anchor reported on the unrest shaking Vinland State.Everyone was talking about Jose.They said he had changed after his son’s death and his wife’s injury.Now he was cleaning house, rooting out the corrupt officials who had been trying to undermine him.Speculation spread like wildfire.To answer Jose’s call, his old loyalists—men who once fought beside him in the rebellion that toppled the tyrant governor—were rising again.Vinland was witnessing a storm, Jose tightening his grip on power.“Alex! Alex—something happened!”Josephine’s voice rang out, sharp and urgent, as she rushed down the stairs.It was already noon, yet she was just now emerging from her room. She had never slept so late before.“What’s wrong?” Alex asked, his gut tightening.“There’s… something inside me.” She pointed at her stomach, her face pale with panic.Alex froze. “What do you mean, something inside? Are you pregnant?”“God, are you st

    The Chief of Police’s face drained of color.“No, I mean… yes. Yes, you dare to pull the trigger.”“No,” Jose exhaled slowly, almost tired. “I don’t dare to pull the trigger. Do you know why?”“I… I don’t know, Governor. Please, tell me.”“The last time I killed a man was during the rebellion, forty years ago. That man was the Governor before me. I swore to the people his blood would be the last I shed, so Vinland could finally know peace.”The Chief of Police nodded rapidly, desperate to cling to his words. “Yes, yes, Governor. You’re right. Killing is useless. Especially killing me—”“But I was wrong,” Jose cut him off, his voice low and heavy.“People whisper that I’m weak because I let the mockery slide. Because I don’t punish fools who act like I’m blind, like I’m some impotent governor sitting on a crumbling throne. And truthfully…”His eyes narrowed, his tone dropped to a growl. “I never cared about their little games.”But then Jose’s face twisted, rage boiling over. His hand
