Chapter 394
Alex stood in silence, caught between two sides—on one end, the Kingstons, and on the other, Sophia and Lyra.All he wanted was peace, but they were pulling each other apart, and he didn’t know where to place his support.“Alex,” Lyra said urgently, “the Kingstons are attacking us—through the media, through the people, every way they can. They want Charles to become Governor of Paris.”“We’ve done nothing wrong, yet they’re striking at us nonstop. Can you help us? You’re our only hope.”Her voice cracked with desperation. “If we can’t stop them, we’ll die, Alex. I’ll give you my body if that’s what it takes. Just give us the Lexington family’s support.”“Fine,” Alex finally broke his silence. “I don’t have the miracle pill, but I can treat him myself.”Deep down, he knew the truth—this country needed stability above all else.He would not allow it to collapse into civil war, not now, not when the Kingstons and Sophia with Lyra were already standing on the razor’s edge of war.“Thank y
Chapter 393
In the Prescott family’s estate in Lexington, the air was thick with dread.On the grand bed lay Samuel Prescott, the bald, aging patriarch. His once-commanding frame had withered, his skin pale as parchment, his breath shallow and labored.Around him, the Prescott bloodline gathered in tense silence, their faces shadowed with worry.“Benjamin!” Henry’s voice cracked as he paced the floor, his nerves unraveling. “Father was fine yesterday. How could he collapse so suddenly?”Benjamin’s jaw tightened. “Don’t start pointing fingers at me,” he snapped.“Father brought this on himself. Trying to break past level one hundred at his age—it was madness. No one’s ever done it, and now look where it’s gotten him.”Henry stopped in his tracks, fists clenched, his face twisted with helpless anger. “Why does he keep pushing himself like this?”A sudden cry split the air. “Grandfather’s coughing up blood!” Frederick Prescott, Benjamin’s broad-shouldered son, lurched forward, eyes wide with shock.
Chapter 392
Alfred Kingston shook his head slowly, his voice edged with disdain.“Alex, I’ll admit you have courage. But the line between bravery and stupidity is razor-thin.”“And right now, you’re nothing but a fool who doesn’t even know his own limits. You’re nothing—worthless. You’re not even qualified to be our enemy.”Alex’s gaze was unflinching. “Mr. Kingston, a man is meant to be destroyed, not defeated.”Alfred’s lips curled into a bitter smile. He exhaled sharply, then barked, “Fine! Very well! You’re fearless, I’ll give you that. If you want to be destroyed, so be it.”“But for the sake of our past ties, I’ll give you one chance. Stop seeing Jasmine. Cut all ties with her, and I won’t hold this against you. But if you persist, you’ll face the consequences. We will crush you. Now get out.”He rose from his chair, his body language final—conversation over.Alex rose to his feet and walked toward the door. After a few steps, he stopped and turned. His voice was calm, deliberate.“Mr. Kin

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.
Chapter 389
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
