The doors of the Williams Corporation headquarters swung open smoothly. Hundreds of anxious employees and corporate executives were quiet.

Anxious staff members stood in small groups near the elevators, speaking in hushed whispers.

News broadcasts regarding the arrests of Gerald and Reuben Williams, alongside the sudden hospitalisation of Charles Williams, played on every television.

The mighty William empire had fallen in a single morning.

Alfred walked through the main doors, dressed in a w

    When they arrived home, the living room was quiet and warm. Sitting right on the centre table were several expensive shopping bags filled with fresh clothes, imported chocolates, and colourful boxes. Angela stopped near the doorway, looking at the packages in surprise before turning her gaze to Alfred. “What are all these?” Alfred smiled gently as he set the keys on the counter. “I got them for you and Freddie on my way back. When I arrived in town, I called your phone to see if you were home, but it was switched off. So I called your secretary at the site office, and she mentioned you had gone over to your parents’ house.” Freddie gasped with pure excitement, immediately rushing over to the table. He pulled out a large action figure and a remote-controlled racing car from the nearest bag, his eyes shining brightly. “Daddy! You bought new toys for me?” “Of course I did, champ,” Alfred said warmly, patting his son’s head as the little boy giggled and sat down on the rug to unbox

    “Enough of this, Mom! Dad! He is telling the truth,” Sarah’s face twisted in disgust as she glared at her daughter, her chest heaving with uncontrolled frustration.“How dare you raise your voice at us trying to defend this loser?” Sarah shrieked, pointing a finger at Angela’s face. “I can see he has cast a dark spell on you, Angela. Don’t come begging when your eyes finally clear and you realise what a terrible mistake you’ve made!”Alfred stepped forward slightly, positioning himself firmly beside his wife. His posture was imposing, his eyes unyielding as he looked down at Sarah and George. “I am not cheating on my wife. I love her, and I am not planning on divorcing her.”George let out a cold sneer, taking a step toward Alfred with his arms crossed tightly over his chest. “Oh, you think I can’t separate you two? Don’t act so arrogant, Alfred. You are living under our family’s shadow, and I can end your place here with a single word.”Alfred looked George straight in the eye, his

    Sarah and George were left completely stunned by the sudden slap. Alfred stood tall between Darlington and Angela's family. His posture was straight, his eyes filled with cold fury as he swept his gaze over them. Angela herself was surprised to see her husband standing right in front of her. She couldn't believe her eyes. Her gaze darted back and forth from Alfred to Darlington, who was still gasping against his car door. As much as she hated Darlington for stepping into her way and trying to block her path, she had not expected him to be slapped so hard in front of her parents' house. Sarah rushed toward Darlington, who had not yet recovered from the heavy slap. She held his arm with panicked hands, checking his red, swollen cheek, while George stepped forward and yelled at the top of his lungs. "What the hell is wrong with you?" George roared, his face turning red with anger. "Why are you acting so violently in front of my house? Do you have any idea who you just slapped?" Alfre

    Angela stopped dead in her tracks, her breath catching in her throat as her eyes locked onto the man standing by the car.It was Darlington Remi, her wealthy, arrogant ex-boyfriend who had abandoned her years ago before she married Alfred.Darlington leaned casually against the side of his black sports car, a practised smile stretched across his face. “Angela,” Darlington said smoothly, “It has been such a long time. You look stunning, even after all these years.”Angela’s stomach tightened into a hard knot. She shifted little Freddie slightly in her arms, her face turning cold.“What are you doing here, Darlington?” Angela asked sharply.Before Darlington could answer, Sarah and George stepped out through the front doorway behind their daughter, their faces wearing matching expressions of satisfaction.“We invited him here, Angela,” Sarah said quickly, walking down the steps to stand beside Darlington like a proud host

    Angela parked her car near the entrance of her parents’ house, as she unbuckled her seatbelt and looked over at her son in the back seat.Little Freddie was swinging his legs, holding a small toy car in his lap. Angela smiled softly at him, though a slight flicker of unease tugged at her mind.Her mother, Sarah, had called her three times earlier in the day, insisting that she bring Freddie over immediately. Sarah’s voice over the phone had sounded unusually urgent, giving no details other than saying it was a family matter that couldn’t wait.Angela stepped out of the car, opened the door, and lifted Freddie into her arms. She carried him up and pushed the front door open.The living room was quiet. Sarah was sitting on the main sofa, her hands folded tightly over her lap, holding a cup of tea.The moment Sarah saw her daughter walk in, she set the cup down onto the glass table with a loud clatter.“Sit down, Angela,” Sarah

    Alfred stepped through the doors of the private chamber. Commander Jim immediately fell into step behind him, his hands resting tightly on the hilt of his sword as they rushed down.The distant sounds of clashing steel and chaotic screams echoed from the ring wing of the palace as panicked servants and lower guards scrambled back and forth in terror."General!" Jim called out over the commotion, his breath heavy as he tried to match Alfred’s rapid pace. "The right wing gate is guarded by two hundred elite royal troops. If Monland’s soldiers broke through so quickly, they must have brought heavy siege engines or elite warriors!"Alfred cold eyes fixed strictly on the archway leading to the outer courtyard ahead.They rounded the final corner, stepping directly into the chaotic battlefield of the right wing gate.Dozens of royal guards were falling back in disarray, bleeding heavily as a squad of aggressive invader warriors pushed through the broken iron barriers. The invading fighters
