Chapter - 206The Rutherford breakfast table was a minefield of unspoken tension.George sat at the head, hidden behind his newspaper, but Alex could feel his father's eyes peering over the top, sharp and analytical. Martha, oblivious, hummed as she poured juice, her mood still light from Audrey's visit.And Damien... Damien was a ghost.He startled when Alex passed him the salt. He kept his eyes glued to his plate. When Martha asked him a question, he answered in monosyllables. The easy, taunting banter that had defined the brothers' relationship was gone, replaced by a suffocating, fearful silence.Alex, acting as the pillar of normalcy, ate his toast calmly. He knew he had broken his brother. The fear radiating from Damien was a tool, a new, sharp-edged piece of leverage."Damien," George said, his voice mild from behind the paper. "You look terrible. That Indian food must have been truly... aggressive."Damien flinched. "Yeah, Dad. It... it was.""You, on the other hand, Al
Chapter - 205
Chapter - 205Damien didn't say another word. He followed Alex into the house, the "thump-thump-thump" of his own heart deafening in the silent entryway.Alex, by contrast, seemed perfectly relaxed. He toed off his shoes, dropped his keys in the bowl by the door, and stretched, his back letting out a small pop. He was acting as if they’d just returned from a boring movie. He headed to the kitchen.Damien watched, frozen, as Alex opened the refrigerator, pulled out a bottle of water, and drank half of it in one long, unhurried gulp.The sheer, terrifying normalcy of it broke Damien’s paralysis."How?" Damien’s voice was a croak.Alex set the bottle on the counter. "How what?""How... that! Jaleel. Those guys. You... you’re not... what are you, Alex?" Damien’s hands were shaking so badly he had to clench them into fists. "You're not a student. You're not some naive kid."Alex turned to face him fully. The kitchen light was dim, casting half of his face in shadow. His eyes were no longer
Fight Back
Chapter - 204The goon who had insulted their mother let out a guttural laugh, oblivious to the storm he had unleashed. "What's wrong, little pussy? Did I hurt your feelings? Gonna go cry to—"He never finished the sentence.Alex moved with a speed that seemed to defy the alcohol in his system. It wasn't a wild, drunken swing; it was a precise, brutal strike. His left hand shot out, grabbing the man’s jaw, yanking him forward off-balance. Simultaneously, Alex’s forehead connected with the bridge of the man's nose.CRUNCH.The sound of breaking bone echoed in the narrow alley, sharp and wet. The goon’s eyes rolled back as Alex, still holding his head, drove a knee into his solar plexus. The man collapsed in a heap, unconscious before he hit the pavement.One.Damien froze, his plea of "Dude... No..." dying in his throat. His brain couldn't process what he had just seen.The remaining four goons and the "Big Man" stared in disbelief. The "scared little pussy" had just dismantled their f
Never let anyone disrespect your mother
Chapter - 203 As Alex and Damien cautiously followed the big man into the dimly lit alleyway, a sense of unease settled deep in their guts. The flickering lights cast eerie shadows, making the whole place feel like a freaking horror movie. The big man, looking like a giant beast, led them further into the narrow space. "Alright, cough it up, you little prying rats. What the hell do you think you're doing, snooping around in other people's business?" The big man roared at them, his voice booming with aggression. "Who sent you? Dogs of Hell?" Damien furrowed his brow in frustration. "Dogs of Hell? Who in the hell are they?" he retorted. "Look, man, like we said earlier, we are not here to cause any trouble. We're sorry if we crossed a line." Alex interrupted, trying to lighten the tension. "Dogs of Hell? That's a funny name," he remarked with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Wait... If you think about it, it's actually cool... Dogs Of Hell." The big man ignored Alex's attempt at hu
Audrey sandwiched between Alex and Damien
Chapter - 202"Dude, this is messed up. I can't believe we're actually doing this. Stalking her? Seriously? If we are caught, we won't get out of it easily," Alex and Damien rode Alex's motorcycle and followed behind Audrey's car as soon as she left the house."Oh, come on, Alex! Don't be such a buzzkill. It's not like we're doing anything harmful. I just want to find out more about this Audrey girl and see what she's up to," Damien gently tapped Alex's shoulder and urged him to hurry up."I get it, curiosity can be compelling, but this feels wrong. On top of that, if we are caught, it won't end up with just a beating. Haven't you been on the internet lately? Even looking at girls in the gym apparently is a crime these days," Alex spoke up as he drove."Look, Alex, I get it. But Mom is involved in this. I want to find out every nook and cranny about this girl who appeared out of nowhere," Damien said, "And you get beat up in the process. I am sure it's worth the sacrifice. Don't you t
Damien and Audrey have their own doubts
Chapter - 201"Ah... Look at the time. It's already this late. I had so much fun that I lost track of the time, "After dinner, everyone was laughing among themselves, having a good time when Audrey finally took note of the time."Oh, c'mon, it's not even nine. Stay for a bit more," Martha who was sitting beside Audrey held her hand and said, "Or even better, just stay the night here.""I would love to but I have already made some plans with a friend of mine," Audrey expressed her regret, "If I had known it would be such a pleasant evening, I would have definitely ditched her earlier. But it's too late to cancel now.""I hope you understand," Audrey asked."If you say it like that, there is nothing more that I can say, "Martha was downcasted, but she had this simple smile on her face, "But promise me that you will visit more often while you are in town.""Absolutely," Audrey agreed as she gracefully stood up, "With how funny your son is, there is no doubt that I am going to visit again
