Stanwell’s eyes burned straight ahead, fixed on one person.Jaden.Standing beside Hannah.He cocked his head and took a slow step forward, his voice rough and commanding.“Who the hell are you?” he asked. “And why are you standing next to my girl?”Gasps shot through the crowd like a wave. People cleared a path without being asked.Hannah immediately stepped forward, placing herself between both men.“Stanwell,” she said firmly. “Please don’t cause anything here. I'm not your girl, I never was.”Stanwell’s lips curved into a cold smile. “Relax. I just want to talk. Alone.” His gaze lingered on her. “Please, follow me.”“I’m not going anywhere with you,” Hannah replied, chin raised. “Whatever you want to say, say it here.”Stanwell’s eyes darkened. His smile remained, but it twisted.“Very well then,” he said, turning his attention to Jaden and Julie. “You two—get the hell out of here. I want to speak to my woman. Alone.”“Not happening,” Hannah shot back instantly. “Jaden and Julie s

Outside Winston Mansion The night air stirred as a matte-black Cadillac Escalade rolled up the driveway of the Winston Mansion. The engine gave a low growl as it came to a stop near the front entrance, the headlights casting long shadows on the red carpet.The back door opened.A heavy boot hit the ground.And then came the man himself — Mr. Stanwell Wood.Clad in a custom-fitted dark coat stretched over broad shoulders, Stanwell was built like a war tank. His eyes were sharp, his jawline carved from granite, and that signature smirk sat on his face like he owned the entire damn city.Behind him, three massive bouncers stepped out, dressed in sleek black and moving like shadows.The head of security near the door froze for a second — then lit up like a kid at a concert.“Oh my God… Sir! Mr. Stanwell!” the security guy gushed, almost tripping over his words. “It’s an honor—man, it’s such an honor. I watched every match you had. That one in Mexico—where you broke that guy’s jaw and col

After a few minutes, the office door creaked open, and both Jaden and Hope stepped out.Julie was already standing in the hallway, arms crossed tightly across her chest, one foot tapping impatiently on the marble floor.Her eyes narrowed. “What took you two so long?” she asked, voice sharp. “And what exactly were you doing in there?”Hope gave a playful shrug, leaning lazily against the doorframe. “Exactly what you’re imagining,” she said with a mischievous smirk and a wink.Julie’s jaw dropped. “What?!”She stormed forward, practically trembling. “Stay away from my brother! He has a girlfriend, you know!” she snapped, glaring daggers at Hope.Hope chuckled and casually patted Julie’s head like she was a child. “Bye, little watchdog.” Then she turned and strutted off, heels clicking confidently against the polished floor.Julie’s face turned red with fury. “You! You—You flirtatious witch!”“You’re such a pain in the ass,” Jaden muttered, rubbing his temple with a sigh.Julie spun towa

"Please… please don’t!"The manager’s knees buckled, hitting the cold tiled floor with a loud thud. His hands clasped together, trembling. Sweat rolled down the side of his bloated face as he lowered his head in shame."Alright then," the female officer said coolly, eyes narrowed like a hawk. She crossed her arms as her boots echoed with each step toward him. "You’ve got ten seconds to confess, or we’ll check the security footage ourselves."The manager’s mouth quivered. His voice came out cracked, almost choked. He's been caught and there's no escaping this time."I-I lied! I made a false police report! Please, forgive me—I was wrong!"A murmur swept through the onlookers and officers around them. Cameras clicked in the distance—someone had pulled out their phone.Jaden slowly stepped forward, hands in his coat pockets, a calm smile dancing across his face. His presence alone made the manager flinch."So now you want forgiveness?" Jaden asked, tilting his head. "After dragging my nam

"You're finished. You’re guilty of murdering my men! I’ve already called the police. Your sorry ass is in serious trouble!" the manager growled, struggling to his feet, blood trickling from a cut above his brow.Jaden didn’t flinch. He stood there, hands in his pockets, calm as still water."No one in this world can arrest me," he replied flatly, like it was a universal truth."You won’t be so cocky when you’re rotting in a jail cell," the manager spat. "You'll be screaming for mercy before the week ends."Jaden let out a quiet scoff and stepped forward slowly, the floor creaking beneath his weight. His eyes narrowed."You're confident. I like that," he said with a faint smirk. "Fine. I’ll wait. Call whoever you want."The manager stared at him, momentarily thrown off by how relaxed Jaden was acting.---Fifteen minutes later, red-and-blue lights flickered outside the boutique. Several police officers entered with a woman at the center, her badge shining on her jacket. She was tall, s

“Ah! Found it!” Julie squealed, lifting a sleek, shimmering emerald dress off the rack. “This is the one I saw last week. She’ll love it!”She picked out a few accessories and clutch bags, her eyes dancing with excitement. “Alright, all set. Let’s go pay.”Just as they were turning toward the front counter, the man in a black vest stepped out from between the aisles, smiling a little too widely.“Customers, right this way please. Payment is handled over here,” he said, gesturing towards a narrow hallway near the side of the boutique.Julie squinted at him. “Wait… that’s not where the cashier is.” Her tone turned cautious. “I’ve been coming here for years. The counter’s up front.”The man chuckled, his grin not reaching his eyes. “Ah, yes. But this is a special checkout area—for premium customers like yourselves.”Jaden narrowed his eyes slightly, his body instinctively shifting between Julie and the man. Julie frowned but followed cautiously, still clutching the neatly wrapped package
