Chapter 172
Landon Krane crouched down beside his sniveling son, ruffling his greasy hair with a twisted smile.“Don’t worry, my boy,” he said, voice dripping with malice. “I’ll leash that brat and make her crawl like a damn dog. You can spit on her if you want.”The little piglet clapped with glee. “Yay! I want her to bark too!”Mrs. Krane practically melted beside them, her oversized body jiggling with every delighted gasp. “My man,” she cooed, batting her lashes. “You always know how to handle trash.”Gasps rippled through the crowd of teachers and parents standing at the back, too afraid to step in, too horrified to look away.This was Landon Krane — the man no one dared cross in Ironvale City.A walking nightmare dressed in branded suits.The teachers were pale. A few even looked like they were about to step forward… until they locked eyes with Landon and backed off instantly.Selena stepped up, clutching Mia to her chest, her voice trembling slightly despite her best efforts to stay compose
Chapter 171
“How dare you hit my son, you lowlife b****! I’ll beat the shit out of you!”Mrs. Krane's voice exploded through the classroom like a firecracker in a library. Her face twisted with unfiltered rage, her thick wrists trembling as she stormed toward Selena, hand raised.Selena instinctively stepped back, raising her arms halfway, not out of fear but surprise. “Wait! You’ve got it all wrong—”But there was no reasoning with a woman like Mrs. Krane. She was the kind who threw punches before asking questions. And today, she wasn’t in the mood for any answers.Her meaty hand, glinting with chunky diamond rings, cut through the air, aiming straight for Selena’s face—But it never landed.In a blur, Jaden stepped in. Still holding Mia with one arm, he moved like lightning, catching Mrs. Krane’s wrist mid-air with his free hand.Her fat, jiggling arm froze on the spot, inches from Selena’s cheek. It was as if time had stopped. Her entire body locked up in shock.Crack!The next sound echoed li
Chapter 170
Inside Bright Star Kindergarten’s Sunflower Classroom, chaos reigned.The teacher was nowhere in sight.Instead, a fat boy with a smug grin tugged on a rope like he was walking a dog. Except it wasn’t a dog—it was a little girl, crawling helplessly on her hands and knees, the rope tied around her neck.“Move it, mutt!” the pudgy boy snapped. “You're my dog, Mia! Bark! Now!”Mia, no older than four, dragged herself forward, her dress dirty, her cheeks stained with chalk and dust. Her lips trembled. Tears streaked down her grubby face as she gasped for air.But she didn’t bark.The boy yanked the rope harder. “I said bark, stupid b******! You don’t have a daddy, do you? That’s what you are. Say it! Say you’re a b******!”“No…” Mia choked out through quiet sobs, her tiny fingers digging into the cold floor. “I’m not a b-b******…”A circle of children watched with wide, entertained eyes. None of them stepped in. They laughed like this was just another cartoon show.“I’m the king here!” th
Chapter 169
Selena didn’t struggle in his arms. Her body was limp, drained of will. Only her eyes betrayed her — wide, glassy, leaking silent tears as if they could wash away the years of torment she’d endured.She wasn’t broken. Not quite. But she had been chipped away, piece by piece, until only the shell of the woman she once was remained.Five years. Five years of walking through life like a shadow. Living like a ghost in her own skin. Each insult, each whisper, each look of disgust from strangers — she took them all. And each time the darkness clawed at her throat, begging her to just give up, she only had to think of one thing. Or rather, one person.Her daughter.The only light in the endless night she had been trapped in.Selena clenched her jaw.And now here he was. The man who’d started it all. The man who had torn her life apart with one reckless, unforgivable act. The devil who had walked away, leaving her to face the hell alone.Jaden Rift.She wanted to scream. To hit him. To curse
Chapter 168
A jolt of terror shot through Selena’s spine the moment Declan Raze uttered those vile words. Her heart skipped a beat, and for a brief second, her breath caught in her throat.Without thinking, she spun around and bolted toward the door like a panicked deer.But the two gorilla-sized bodyguards moved faster.Thick, calloused hands clamped down on her delicate wrists like iron cuffs, yanking her backward. She stumbled, heels scraping against the marble floor, as they restrained her effortlessly.“Let me go! Help! Somebody help me!” she screamed, desperation cracking her voice.Declan Raze let out a wheezing chuckle, his jowls quivering with amusement. “Scream all you want, sweetheart,” he said, licking his cracked lips. “I picked this time on purpose. Your office is empty. Your staff clocked out an hour ago. This building is a tomb now... and you're the only living thing inside.”His words landed like a sledgehammer. Selena’s legs buckled, tears pricking her eyes as fear crashed over
Chapter 167
The chopper blades slowed as the aircraft descended on a private airstrip in Ironvale City. The skyline shimmered beneath the noon sun, but Jaden wasn’t focused on the beauty. His eyes sharpened the moment he saw the long line of uniformed soldiers waiting at attention—lined perfectly like chess pieces.As the chopper door swung open, General Kaelus stepped out first.“Salute!” barked the commanding officer.In unison, the soldiers raised their hands in crisp respect. The sound of boots striking the ground in formation echoed sharply across the tarmac.Jaden stepped out, jaw clenched. He stopped dead. His glare cut through Kaelus like a blade.“I told you,” Jaden growled, low and venomous. “I wanted to keep my presence here under wraps. No parade. No flags. No damn salutes.”Kaelus immediately bowed his head. “My king, I warned the captain. I made it clear. I don’t know why he disobeyed.”“I don’t care what his excuse is. Dismiss them. Now.”Kaelus turned on his heel without hesitatio
