Chapter 242
Once Declan realized Jaden was here to buy property, he didn’t hesitate. His voice cut through the air with finality.“Jina. Show Mr. Rift the best villas we have on hand. I don’t care which one he chooses—start the paperwork the moment he points to it. Consider it a personal gift from me.”Silence dropped like a hammer. The entire sales office froze again.Ten million per villa—minimum. And Declan had just thrown one out like it was a souvenir. Even the guards looked sideways at each other. The staff didn’t dare speak, but the disbelief in their eyes said it all. A man who once ruled his circle with arrogance and pride had now lowered himself to this level, practically offering Jaden the keys to an estate for free.Jaden, however, didn’t even blink.He looked Declan straight in the eye, voice calm, tone iron.“Appreciate the gesture, but I pay for what I own. It’s just a villa—we’re not talking about a city. I don’t need handouts.”Every word landed clean. Jaden wasn’t showing off.
Chapter 241
From that moment forward, Jaden Rift became a name no one dared to speak lightly. Word spread fast. Even among the arrogant and reckless, there was now an unspoken line they wouldn't cross.Cassian, nursing the bruises and humiliation from his father's brutal outburst, got wind of the past—of the story Declan had kept hidden for years. The incident where he had dared to offend Morix Sable’s chief. The price Declan paid for that mistake was heavy. Broken bones. A ruined body. He’d been forced to crawl—literally crawl—to beg forgiveness. Even then, mercy hadn’t come easy.And now, that same ghost from the past stood before Cassian, flesh and blood.His breath hitched. Every fiber of his being screamed danger. Jaden Rift wasn’t just powerful. He was the man behind his father’s fall from grace. The man who crippled a titan like Declan Raze with nothing more than consequence.Cassian’s legs buckled. He hit the marble floor with a loud thud, knees first, pain shooting up his bones. His voic

Cassian stood frozen, hand clutched to his cheek. His mouth opened, but the words barely made it out.“Dad… you hit me…”The room was dead silent. Even the sales staff, smug just moments ago, looked like statues. Wide eyes. Slack jaws. No one breathed.Declan Raze, still seated in his wheelchair, glared at his son like he was staring at a stranger. Disgust rolled off him in waves.“So what if I did?” His voice cracked like a whip. “You brainless, shameless idiot!”Without another word, Declan reached to the side of the wheelchair, yanked out his walking stick, and swung.The cane cracked across Cassian’s ribs with a sharp thwack. The sound echoed like gunfire.Cassian stumbled backward, caught completely off guard. He hadn’t even processed what was happening before the next blow landed. And another.Declan wasn’t holding back. Every strike came with the fury of a man pushed to the edge. Wood slammed against flesh and bone, again and again. Cassian tried to shield himself, but the assa

Isla tilted her head and crossed her arms with a smug little smirk, like she’d just won a prize fight. This was Cassian’s turf. Everyone in the sales office knew it. No one dared to go against him. Not here.Cassian stood tall beside her, arms behind his back like a self-appointed king surveying his kingdom. He didn’t say a word, letting his presence speak for itself.Jaden, calm as ever, studied both of them like they were some pathetic comedy act. Then he chuckled. A slow, cold chuckle.“People kneel to me,” he said, voice low and dangerous. “Not the other way around. Who the hell are you supposed to be?”The smugness on Isla’s face twitched. Her eyes darted to Cassian, expecting him to snap back. But Cassian didn’t move at first. He hadn’t expected that tone. No one usually dared speak to him like that, especially not in public.Isla had clearly misread Jaden’s earlier expression when she dropped Cassian’s name. Now, she looked confused. But the storm hadn’t hit yet.Cassian’s jaw
Chapter 238
Turned out, Isla’s new man was none other than Cassian Raze—the sales office manager.She’d shown up to the dealership to vent about her rough day after walking out on her old job. The last thing she expected was to see Selena’s family again… this time walking into her turf.The moment she spotted them, her lips twisted. Selena? Here? Asking about apartments?The irony was too good to pass up. She couldn’t resist. Not after what they did to her, this was her perfect opportunity to have her revenge.Jaden stepped forward, voice even, sharp as broken glass. “Didn’t you already learn your lesson?”Isla’s eyes flickered. For a split second, something bitter surfaced. Then the sneer returned.“Lesson?” Her tone dripped venom. “Don’t talk like you’re someone important. So what if you bought two BMWs? That doesn’t mean shit in my world.”She jabbed a perfectly manicured finger toward the man standing beside her in a sharp navy suit. “Do you even know who my boyfriend is?”Jaden didn’t flinch
Chapter 237
Selena flushed pink. Her heart pounded louder than she expected.Her parents—who once saw Jaden as little more than a burden—had now fully embraced him as their son-in-law. That acknowledgment hit differently.She gave him a sideways glance, catching his smug little grin.Jaden was all smiles, clearly basking in the moment.Selena shot him a glare. "What are you smirking at? I don’t remember saying I wanted to be your wife, you know."Jaden chuckled and shrugged, unbothered. "Didn’t need you to say it. It’s already written all over your face."Selena huffed and looked away, but her lips couldn’t hide the faint upward curl.With the demolition plans moving forward in Greyfield City, time was running out. Selena needed a new home for the family—and fast.By mid-afternoon, she and Jaden were standing outside the grand entrance of the Winter Halls sales center.Winter Halls wasn’t just some mid-tier housing block. It was premium real estate, the kind that attracted CEOs, celebrities, and
