Joaquin was flung against a lamppost and spat blood as he hit. He glared up at Martin through the ringing in his ears.

All this tossing and beating—he’d tried to hold back because of the word brother. But patience had run out. Time and mercy were luxuries he could no longer afford.

“You… I’ve been too kind to you for too long,” he said, voice low and dangerous. “I told you to let me go.”

Martin laughed—mad, hollow, not quite human. “Sorry, brother. I can’t do that. You must die.”

Martin lunged again, fist aimed to crush. Joaquin didn’t dodge. He met the blow with a flaming fist of his own.

The crack when their fists collided echoed like thunder. Martin screamed as force shoved him back; for the first time, surprise crossed his features. He hadn’t expected Joaquin to hit back so hard. Before Martin could recover, Joaquin was already in front of him—air thin with heat, arm cocked.

“What—”

Joaquin didn’t hesitate. He punched with everything he had. Martin, though larger and brutal, was d

    Javier grunted as he limped down the marble hallway of his mansion, one hand pressed against his side. Every step sent a jolt of pain through his ribs, but his anger burned hotter than the ache.“Sir! What happened?” Jasmine rushed toward him, her eyes wide with alarm. She caught him just before he lost his balance.“That bastard,” Javier hissed, his jaw tightening. His face was streaked with blood, his clothes torn and scorched from the earlier explosion.Jasmine carefully guided him toward his private chamber. “Sit down, Sir—please. I’ll call someone.”As soon as they entered, she shouted over her shoulder, “Get the healer! Now!”One of the maids scurried out of the room, nearly tripping over her skirt in panic.When the door closed behind them, Jasmine turned back to her master. “Did Joaquin do this to you?”Javier shook his head slowly, a sinister grin curling on his lips. “No. It was Miguel.”He leaned back against the couch, wincing but still smiling darkly. “But he’s dead now.

    “Joaquin!”Serena rushed toward him, panic tightening her chest as she saw him lying motionless on the ground. His face was pale, his skin marred with bruises, and a thin stream of blood trailed down from his temple.“Joaquin, wake up! Please!” she cried, shaking him gently.A low groan escaped his lips as his eyes fluttered open. His vision was hazy, but the first name that left his mouth was a broken whisper.“M-Miguel...”Rick appeared moments later, shouting for the medics. “Get a stretcher! Move, now!”Within seconds, they lifted Joaquin onto the stretcher and rushed him toward the waiting vehicle. His consciousness faded before they even made it out of the wreckage.When he opened his eyes again, everything was white—the ceiling, the lights, the sterile air. He blinked, squinting against the brightness. His body ached all over.Serena was there beside him, tending to the monitors with trembling hands.“Joaquin?” she gasped, relief flooding her face. “You’re awake!”He gave a wea

    Joaquin was thrown several meters back as an unseen force struck him like a storm. The air itself felt like it had solidified, slamming into his chest with the weight of a collapsing mountain. He hit the ground hard, coughing violently as the metallic taste of blood filled his mouth.Javier hadn’t even moved from where he stood. The sheer pressure radiating from him was enough to crush the air around them.“You still have a chance, son,” Javier said coldly, his eyes glowing faintly gold beneath the dim light. “Come back to where you belong.”Joaquin wiped the blood from his lips, forcing a bitter smile. “And go where, exactly? I’m fine right here.”Javier’s expression hardened, his jaw tightening. “Do you really think that man can give you anything? He’s using you, Joaquin! Just like everyone else ever did.”“Who? Miguel?” Joaquin let out a sharp laugh. “He’s been more of a father to me than you ever were.”Javier’s voice rose, his composure slipping. “By throwing you into the Tiger R

    The lights flickered as the alarms continued to blare, painting the marble walls in flashes of red. Joaquin’s heart pounded against his ribs—not out of fear, but rage. He could already feel the heat building in his palms, his energy swirling violently like a living flame ready to consume everything in its path.Miguel loaded his rifle with calm precision, the old soldier in him resurfacing. “Rick, secure the east wing. Get the rest of the guards to hold the main hall.”Rick nodded. “On it.” He disappeared down the corridor, shouting orders as boots thundered against the floor.Joaquin turned toward the hall that led to Serena’s room. “I’ll protect her.”Miguel caught his arm. “No—you can’t do this alone. They’re after you, not her.”“That’s exactly why I have to go,” Joaquin shot back, his voice low but dangerous. “If they reach her, they’ll use her against me.”Before Miguel could argue, a deafening explosion ripped through the front gate. The shockwave shattered the glass windows,

    Joaquin held Serena’s hand tightly as they drove back to Miguel’s estate, his knuckles pale from the force of his grip. The road blurred before him, headlights cutting through the heavy night, but his mind was elsewhere—trapped between disbelief and exhaustion.He still couldn’t process everything he had learned. Nor could he shake the terror of almost losing Serena.Jasmine.The name burned in his chest.She had played him. Deceived him so deeply that even now, her betrayal felt impossible.She wasn’t just his sister—she had been his world.She raised him. Guided him. Cared for him when no one else did. She was there from his childhood to the day he became a doctor, the constant figure he thought he could always count on.And all of it… every smile, every word, every sacrifice—a lie.A cruel, calculated performance.It was almost laughable, how real it had all seemed. His entire life was built on an illusion—a puppet show designed to lead him to this very point.“Joaquin…”Serena’s

    As Joaquin continued walking deeper into the tunnel, the air grew colder, heavier. The faint hum of machinery beneath the stone walls echoed like a heartbeat that wasn’t his. His boots crunched against the damp floor, but his mind was far from the sound.They had been fooling him all along.Every word, every mission, every oath—lies. His entire life had been built on deceit. The people he had sworn to protect… were part of the very cult that had created this nightmare.And at the heart of it all was his own father.Javier Villareal—the man he once thought was a victim of the Society’s corruption—was its creator. The leader. The manipulator.And now, that man wanted him to be his heir.Joaquin clenched his fists, his jaw tight. Never.He would never be part of this twisted legacy. He would burn it to ashes if he had to.“Joaquin!”The voice echoed through the tunnel, faint but desperate. He froze. He knew that voice.“Is that Ms. Del Mar?” Rick asked, startled.“Shit!” Joaquin hissed.
