"Die, you Bastard!"

Elena's stifled scream broke the suffocating silence inside the executive room. After the brutal and sickening struggle that had just occurred, there were no more words of arrogance from Chancellor Vane's lips. The middle-aged man had bled to death on the carpet. The only remaining sounds in the room were the crackle of fire devouring the remnants of the drone near the glass wall, blending with David Vexley's breathing. The mortal father's breath sounded extremely h

  • The Remnants of the Troops

    "Hold onto my shoulder tighter, Dave! Do not let go!" Elena screamed.Her voice was almost swallowed by the roar of concrete grinding against concrete. The ceiling of the executive room began to crack lengthwise, dropping chunks of cement and white dust onto the carpet. The floor beneath their feet tilted extremely, as if the entire building were being pulled into the belly of the earth.David Vexley gritted his teeth, forcing his right leg, whose knee was shattered, to take a step. He leaned most of his body weight on Elena. Every movement triggered an incredibly sharp pain from his bullet-riddled stomach. Blood continued to seep out, soaking Elena's waist as she supported him with great difficulty."I am burdening you, El. Leave me," David groaned hoarsely."Shut your mouth, David Vexley! I will not let you die in this place!" Elena retorted with an anger filled with panic. She dragged her husband through the thick smoke beginning to fill the room.

  • A Father's Trembling Hand

    "Die, you Bastard!"Elena's stifled scream broke the suffocating silence inside the executive room. After the brutal and sickening struggle that had just occurred, there were no more words of arrogance from Chancellor Vane's lips. The middle-aged man had bled to death on the carpet. The only remaining sounds in the room were the crackle of fire devouring the remnants of the drone near the glass wall, blending with David Vexley's breathing. The mortal father's breath sounded extremely harsh, rattling from his throat exactly like a broken whistle clogged with thick fluid.In the corner of the room, the security guard who had pinned Elena down earlier was still shocked to see his commander dead with a torn neck. That shock became his fatal weakness.Elena didn't waste a single second. The Mafia Queen, her survival instincts rekindled, grabbed a solid ceramic flower vase lying near the table leg. With her remaining desperate strength, Elena swung the vase and smashe

  • The Bite of a Wild Dog

    The burning heat tore through David Vexley's stomach. Two lead bullets pierced his flesh, mercilessly shredding his intestines. The former ruler of the world coughed up thick black blood into the air, his utterly ruined body finally collapsing beside Arthur's operating chair. His right hand clutched the white carpeted floor, which was now turning into a puddle of deep red. His breathing was short, sounding like a whistle clogged with fluid."Dad! Dad, wake up!" Arthur's hysterical scream filled the room, mixing with the cries of Elena struggling in the arms of the remaining conscious guards.Chancellor Vane did not laugh. He no longer radiated the calm authority of a politician. His aristocratic face morphed into a mask of anger covered in cold sweat. He stepped forward, his expensive leather shoes crunching on broken glass, walking toward David's helplessly sprawled body."You truly are an incredibly hard insect to kill, Miller," Vane hissed, his voice tremblin

  • The Detonator and Despair

    Chancellor Vane's finger pressed the red button with full force, locking the fate of a family on the brink of destruction.BEEP.An incredibly loud and ear-piercing long tone erupted from the metal collar on Arthur's neck. The indicator light that had been blinking slowly now changed into digital numbers glowing blood red.Thirteen, twelve, eleven. The countdown had begun."Your time is up, Miller Family!" Vane shouted with an incredibly discordant laugh. The man threw his detonator to the floor, then turned around quickly. "You can enjoy your family reunion in hell!"Vane dragged his glass-splintered leg toward the large bookshelf in the corner of the room, trying to find access to his private emergency elevator."Elena, go after him! Don't let him escape!" David roared from the floor, spitting dirty blood onto the carpet.Elena raised her heavy assault rifle, aiming the barrel at the fleeing Vane's back. "You're not going anywhere,

  • The Queen Who Refused to Bow

    "Now, beg me."Vane's words hung in the air, as cold as ice and as sharp as a razor. The man's thumb danced over the red button of the detonator, an absolute threat that left no room for negotiation.David Vexley swallowed saliva that felt like broken glass in his throat. His red, swollen eyes stared in horror at the red indicator light blinking on Arthur's neck. His son's screams of pain from the medical drill had weakened into desperate whimpers.There was no other choice. His pride had long been shattered, and now, even the remnants of his ego had to be buried alive."Please," David's voice sounded so fragile and hoarse, barely audible. "Please do not kill him. Punish me, Vane. Do anything to me."The former ruler of the world relaxed all his muscles. He slowly bowed his head, preparing to press his bleeding forehead onto the white carpet, to prostrate at the feet of a corporate tyrant.Right at the moment David's forehead nearly touched

  • The Hero's Leash

    "I prefer to be called father, Vane."David Vexley spat dirty blood onto the ruined white carpet. The sentence came out extremely hoarse from his dry throat. The man gritted his teeth, ignoring the stinging pain tearing at his right knee. With a final burst of desperate strength, he dug his broken fingers into the carpet, trying to drag his body crawling forward toward Arthur's operating table."Dad is coming, Son. Hold on," David whispered. His breathing rattled like a machine running out of oil.However, having moved barely a handspan, a large shadow blocked the light above him.THUD.The steel-plated boot of one of Vane's elite guards slammed squarely into the center of David's spine. The stomp was incredibly hard, pressing the former king's body flat against the floor. David's already cracked ribs groaned in despair. His mouth opened wide gasping for empty air, unable to let out a scream of agony because his lungs were pinned and crushed.<
