The footsteps grew louder, approaching the dark corners of the warehouse where Gregory and the mysterious woman stood. His senses sharpened, his instincts on high alert.

The woman’s demeanor shifted, a flicker of unease crossing her face, before she quickly masked it with a confident smile. “You’re not alone, Gregory,” she whispered, her voice now a subtle threat. “Be careful who you trust.”

Gregory’s heart hammered in his chest as he scanned the darkness, trying to make out the figure emerging from the shadows. The last thing he needed right now was to be caught in the middle of a trap.

The man stepped forward, and Gregory’s stomach dropped. It was Samuel. His “boss” the man who had tormented him, made his life a living hell for years. The last person he ever wanted to see here, and yet there he was, walking straight into the heart of the truth that Gregory was finally uncovering.

    The door swung open with a force that sent a gust of air through the warehouse, sending dust and debris scattering across the floor. The figure that entered was tall, broad-shouldered, and draped in a long coat that seemed to absorb the dim light from above.His face was obscured by the shadows, but the confident, almost predatory stride he carried with him made it clear that he was no stranger to power.Gregory’s pulse quickened as he instinctively stepped back, his eyes darting between his father and the woman who had been guiding him through this nightmare.The tension in the room was so thick it was almost suffocating. He could feel the weight of their gazes, his father’s cold, calculating stare, and the woman’s unwavering, piercing eyes.“Who the hell is that?” Gregory whispered, though the question barely reached his lips. His words hung in the air, unnoticed as the stranger stepped further into the room, his presence commanding and undeniable.The woman’s expression didn’t chan

    The sound of the crash reverberated through the warehouse, slicing through the tense silence like a knife. For a moment, everything froze. The air was thick with anticipation, as if the entire world had held its breath, waiting for what would come next.Gregory’s heart raced in his chest. He glanced at the woman beside him, her face unreadable, her posture stiff as she kept her grip on Samuel.The once-unstoppable man was now kneeling in front of her, a picture of helplessness that seemed almost impossible. Yet, Gregory’s instincts screamed that something bigger was at play, something they weren’t prepared for.The woman’s sharp eyes flicked toward the source of the crash, her expression hardening. “Stay alert,” she warned Gregory, her voice low but commanding.Gregory’s hands trembled slightly as he turned toward the shadows from which the sound had come. The place was massive too many corners, too many dark spots to hide in.But the noise had come from a place near the back, just be

  • Chapter 253: The Hidden Warehouse

    Gregory stared at the cryptic message on his phone, the weight of its contents sinking into his gut. It was as though the world around him had suddenly shifted, the ground beneath his feet no longer steady. Meet me at the old warehouse...Who could have sent this? A? What did that mean? For a moment, he considered ignoring the message, turning his back on the unknown, pretending he hadn’t seen it. But deep down, he knew he couldn’t.Every part of him, every instinct he’d learned over the years of serving the wealthy man, told him that this was the moment he’d been waiting for. The truth was finally within his grasp.But the danger was palpable. Whoever had sent the message knew more than they should. And Gregory had no idea what he was walking into. He stood there, alone in the empty hallway, weighing his options. He couldn’t turn back now. He had to go.If this was the key to unlocking the truth about his past, he couldn’t let fear control him. But as he made his decision, he couldn’

  • Chapter 252: A Game of Shadows

    Gregory walked through the dimly lit corridors of the mansion, his footsteps echoing in the silence. His mind was a whirlwind of questions, fears, and doubts, but the one thing he couldn’t shake was the weight of the photograph in his hand.The message was clear: the empire he had always thought was beyond his reach was now his legacy to claim.He had always been a housekeeper, an invisible servant in the shadows of the wealthy family he worked for. But now, that role seemed laughable. He wasn’t just a servant anymore; he was the rightful heir to a legacy he hadn’t even known existed.His thoughts were interrupted when he reached the study door. It was open, just a crack, but enough for him to see inside. His boss, the wealthy man he had served for so many years, sat hunched over his desk, speaking quietly to someone on the phone. His expression was grim, his tone low and urgent.Gregory couldn’t help but listen, instinctively drawn to the conversation. He knew it wasn’t his place to

  • Chapter 251: The Past Awakens

    Gregory’s fingers trembled as he stared at the message written on the back of the photograph. The words seemed to burn into his mind, refusing to fade. The heir will return, and with him, the empire will rise once more.He felt a chill run down his spine. What did this mean? The heir? The empire? He had only just learned of his true heritage, and now, he was being thrust into a web of power, lies, and secrets he didn’t fully understand.The golden figure, standing silently by his side, seemed to sense the weight of Gregory’s confusion. “You’ve found the key to your past, Gregory. Now, the path ahead is yours to walk.”“But where do I even begin?” Gregory asked, his voice strained. “I don’t know what this empire is. I don’t know what’s expected of me.”The golden figure’s gaze softened, almost with pity. “You must seek the truth within the empire’s heart. The company, your father’s company, holds the answers you seek. But it will not be easy.There are forces at work that will stop at
