Verrick ResidenceXander stood in the center of the study, fists clenched so tightly his knuckles had gone white. His chest heaved as he glared at Elias, Aiden, Talon, and Elizabeth like they were strangers who’d betrayed him."Let me get this straight," Xander growled, his voice low but sharp enough to cut glass. "You went to speak with Dominic Aldrane about the construction timeline, and he told you Ravix Holdings isn’t the developer. That Selena is?" His tone was thick with disbelief and disgust.Elias’ jaw tightened. He nodded, visibly frustrated. "That’s exactly what he said. Flat out refused to acknowledge Ravix Holdings. He acted like we were nobodies."Aiden stepped forward, his brows furrowed in confusion. "I thought there had to be a mistake. But I reread the contract just to be sure. It’s clean. Only Selena’s name is listed as the sole developer. Ravix Holdings isn’t mentioned—not even in the fine print."A silence fell over the room. Then, Xander slammed his palm on the po

“I also talked to the director of their development department, Mr. Aldrane,” Jaden said, leaning back against the kitchen counter like he hadn't just dropped a bombshell. “He confirmed it himself—they never acknowledged Ravix Holdings. Only you. As far as they're concerned, you're the sole developer of that entire shopping complex.”The room went still.For a second, it felt like even time itself stopped.Selena’s breath caught. Her fingers curled slightly, the edges of her nails digging into her palm. “Wait… what?”Jaden tilted his head, calm and steady. “You heard me. This whole thing is yours. Not Ravix’s. Just you, Selena Verrick.”Vane’s eyes widened. Nora’s lips parted, trembling with disbelief. Both parents looked at their daughter like they’d just seen her reborn.Selena fumbled for her phone and quickly dialed Dominic Aldrane.The room was dead silent as she spoke.“Hi, Mr. Aldrane… Sorry to bother you again. I just need to confirm… Was the contract really in my name, and no

Inside the villa, the relatives hovered by the windows, ready to enjoy the fallout of Vane’s disgrace. They whispered and sneered, expecting to watch him and his family slink away in shame, soaked and defeated.Instead, their faces twisted in disbelief.What they saw outside wasn’t misery. It was spectacle.An entire fleet of black Audis and two Rolls-Royces lined up at the entrance. Men in uniformed suits stood tall in the rain, umbrellas up, posture sharp. And in the center of it all stood Morix, calm and commanding.He walked straight to Vane, voice even but powerful. “Sir, we’re here to take you home.”The relatives didn’t know what to say. Their smirks fell. Their tongues curled back.Selena's family stood straighter.Vane glanced at Morix, then at the fleet behind him, then at the stunned faces pressed against the windows. The rain no longer mattered. He understood the message behind the gesture—this wasn’t just a pickup. It was a statement.Jaden had staged the moment to flip t

Vane and Selena stood frozen, their minds reeling. They could barely process the words that had just been spoken."Dad, just give me a second to explain—""Grandpa, please, it's not like that!" Selena pleaded, her voice cracking.Their desperation was clear. But Xander's face was carved from stone.He raised his hand, cutting through the room like a blade. "I don't want to hear another word from either of you."His voice dropped an octave, laced with venom. "As the president of Ravix Holdings, I hereby announce Selena Verrick is dismissed from her position. Effective immediately. And as the patriarch of this family..."He paused. The silence was a blade to the gut."...I am removing Vane Verrick and his entire household from all family records and assets. Your names will be stripped from every legal document. From this moment on, we share no blood. No ties. No obligations. You are nothing to us."Vane stepped forward in a panic. "No—please, don’t do this. At least let us explain!"Xan

Elias, Williams, Talon, and Elizabeth kept their heads bowed respectfully, but inside, they were more than satisfied. Xander's fury wasn't just fire—it was a storm they’d been waiting for.Elias wrapped up the paperwork quickly. The convoy of luxury sedans rolled out from the hospital, cutting through city traffic like a vengeful blade, headed straight for Verricks Villa Residences.Once home, Xander wasted no time. His first command was clear and cold: “Call Vane. I want his entire family here. Now.”Within the hour, Vane, Nora, and Selena arrived at the estate, rushing through the gate in confusion.Inside the villa, the air was heavy. Relatives crowded the living room. Some stood in silence, others whispered cautiously. The tension was thick enough to choke on.Vane stepped forward, adjusting his tie, trying to maintain composure. “Dad, they discharged you already? That’s great news—”Xander didn’t even blink. Seated in the grand chair like a judge awaiting sentencing, his tone cam

Elias stepped forward, face tight with frustration. “Dad, you remember I told you Vane handed over the Divine Pill the night you had the stroke?”Xander’s expression darkened. He gave a slow nod, eyes cast downward. The memory stung. That night, he’d refused to even look at Vane. Hadn’t said a word of thanks. Just brushed the man off like a beggar offering trash.Now, knowing that pill had pulled him back from the brink... he felt a hard knot of shame twist in his chest.Elias watched his father’s reaction, then struck.“Truth is... he didn’t want to give it to you.”Xander’s head snapped up. “What?”Before he could process it, Williams stepped in, voice low and bitter. “I was there, Dad. The doctors told me the Divine Pill was the only shot you had. So I went to Vane, took a couple of guys with me. We thought—hell, we figured he’d hand it over without hesitation.”He paused. “But instead, the bastard refused. Flat out. Not only that—he laid into my men. Beat them to the ground like d
