Lyra stood by, eyes fixed anxiously on Laura Montclair. "Calm down. He'll be here.""Calm down? Have you seen the time? What’s going to happen to my husband?" Laura's voice echoed harshly through the hospital room, desperation cracking her tone.Lyra clenched her fists, fighting the urge to snap. "If you can't stop screaming at me, maybe you should find yourself another doctor."Laura shot Lyra a venomous glare."Listen carefully. The only reason you're even here is because your father and my husband were once best friends. You should be thanking me for this opportunity.”“Remember Lyra, I could open doors you couldn't even dream of."On the hospital bed, Rudiyard moaned loudly, gripping his head in agony."It feels like my head is splitting open!"Laura rushed to his side, gently squeezing his hand. "Hang in there, honey. The best doctor is coming. He’ll make this right, I promise."No one could explain Rudiyard’s sudden collapse a week earlier or the constant, relentless headaches e

Morning broke early, bringing with it a fresh start.Alex rose, showered, and busied himself preparing breakfast—his signature Eggs Benedict.Simple but irresistible. The aroma filled the kitchen just as footsteps echoed softly from behind.“Something smells heavenly!” Sophia's voice broke the quiet.She looked stunning, dressed impeccably in a tailored business suit, her face brightened by a gentle smile."Sophia? What are you doing here?" Alex blurted, confusion clear on his face.Today, of all days—why?"I skipped breakfast, figured I'd swing by quickly on the way to work," Sophia replied casually, stepping closer to inspect the dish.Alex narrowed his eyes skeptically. "Your office isn't anywhere near this neighborhood."She let out a sigh and admitted reluctantly, “Fine. Lyra asked me to take you to meet someone before heading to my office. I’ve got some time to spare.” She sat down with practiced ease, clearly dodging his pointed stare."Lyra could’ve just called me," Alex frown

The night was wrapped in a deep, tired silence, a quiet that told Alex it was finally time to close up the Clinic and catch some rest.He leaned back, feeling the weight of the day press on his shoulders, ready to lock up and call it a night.Suddenly, the front door crashed open, shattering the silence.Jasmine stumbled in, eyes wide with panic, her hair was tangled and disheveled, and her breaths came in sharp, desperate gasps.At the reception desk, Josephine shot upright, her chair screeching against the floor."Miss Kingston—what are you—?” Josephine began, startled.But Jasmine ignored her, eyes locking instantly onto Alex.“Alex!” she shouted, surging forward, throwing herself into his arms. “I can't go anywhere else—I won't! Only you can help me. Please!”Behind her, Alfred Kingston burst through the door, his tie loosened, his face pale and slick with sweat. He took in the scene quickly, his breathing ragged."Alex, I'm sorry for this. They couldn't stop her. She escaped from

Alex stood there, frozen for a heartbeat.The woman in his arms—Jasmine Kingston, stunningly beautiful and dangerously close—had just asked him to rent a hotel room.His pulse roared, warmth surged through his veins, desire clawing fiercely at his chest.Jasmine wasn't just any woman; she was a legend in Vancouver, one of the top three beauties in the city.Every fiber in Alex's body screamed with longing.Freshly divorced, finally free, nothing stood in his way—no commitments, no chains.He studied her carefully, mesmerized by her misty eyes and parted lips."Stop looking at me like that," Jasmine whispered, her voice heavy with anticipation."You're driving me crazy. Just say yes, Alex. Or no—don’t say anything, just take me. Anywhere you want."She slowly licked her lips, making his heart slam violently against his chest."No!"The shout cracked through the air like a whip, forcing Alex and Jasmine to pull apart instantly.They turned to see Alfred Kingsley marching toward them, fl

Jasmine stared in disbelief, eyes wide with shock."Did he seriously just run away?"Without hesitation, Alex gripped the axe tightly and swung it fiercely.The blade spun through the air, slicing toward Hugh. But Hugh, as if sensing danger behind him, dodged swiftly to one side, narrowly escaping.Heart pounding in desperation, Hugh sprinted toward the cover of the jungle, convinced he had cheated death.Just steps away from safety, his body lurched violently forward, and he crashed face-first onto the dusty earth.Pain exploded in his leg.Glancing back, Hugh's heart sank as he saw another axe embedded in the ground behind him—and his severed ankle lying nearby, blood soaking into the dirt.Frantic, Hugh summoned all his remaining strength, channeling his inner energy to stem the bleeding.If he could hold out, the doctor might still salvage his limb."Please, please! Spare me!" Hugh wailed, his voice trembling, the bravado gone from his desperate eyes.Alex approached slowly, his f

Four felt her cheeks burn as embarrassment flooded her veins.If there had been a hole nearby, she would’ve dived into it instantly.She cursed herself silently—had she known Alex would hold such a fierce grudge, she never would have mocked him.Nearby, Hugh groaned, slowly regaining consciousness.He pushed himself upright, confusion etched across his face."Must've tripped over my own damn feet," he muttered.Alex stared at him, eyes narrowed in disbelief.Did this fool really not realize what had happened to him—the danger he was in? Or was his arrogance so thick it had blinded him?Seeing Alex's silence, Hugh’s lips twisted into a smug grin.“What’s the matter, kid? Cat got your tongue now that you’ve seen what real level-fifty power looks like? You’d better be shaking in your boots, boy!”“You’re nothing compared to me—like a bug under my boot.”“I’ll toss you one measly chance: grovel at my feet and smash your skull against the floor. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll grace you with my pi
