The room erupted into chaos before Zendy’s bodyguards could even move. Xander and Elias lunged forward first, grabbing the suited men by their arms while shouting over the noise.

“Stop! Not here!” Xander barked, his voice trembling between fear and authority. “Everyone, calm down!”

The bodyguards hesitated but didn’t lower their stance. Their eyes flicked toward Zendy, who was clutching her face with one manicured hand and glaring daggers at Jaden.

Meanwhile, Xander turned to Jaden, his expression dark and cold. “How dare you raise your hand to a guest!” he snapped. “Apologize to Ms. Brandy right now and ask for her forgiveness before this escalates!”

Jaden crossed his arms casually, completely unfazed. “Apologize?” he repeated with a faint smirk. “Why should I? If anyone owes an apology, it’s her — to my wife.”

The entire room went silent again.

He continued, his tone calm but cutting through the air like a blade. “She’s been spreading lies, dragging my wife’s name through the mud, m

    The drive back was quiet at first. The rhythmic hum of the car’s engine filled the silence, punctuated only by the faint whoosh of passing streetlights.Selena sat in the passenger seat, hands folded tightly in her lap. Her thoughts were still spinning from everything that had happened at the detention center — the blood, the shouting, the humiliation Hector had suffered. It felt like something out of a nightmare.She glanced sideways at her husband, who was calmly steering the car, his expression unreadable.Finally, she broke the silence.“Jaden,” she said softly, “since when did you know Deputy Chief Vax? If it weren’t for him, we would’ve been in serious trouble tonight.”Jaden’s lips curved into a faint smile — the kind that didn’t quite reach his eyes.“Actually,” he said lightly, “I hardly know Granddon Vax at all.”Selena blinked, confused. “What? Then… why was he helping you so much?”She turned in her seat to face him fully now.Locking Henry Lancaster and his men up was one

    Selena, Morganna, and the rest stood frozen, expressions twisting in horror as Granddon’s words sank in.The room fell silent. Hector Packwood stood rooted to the floor, face ashen, eyes wide with disbelief. His lips quivered, but no sound came out. It was as if all the blood in his body had drained into the ground beneath him.Jaden turned his head slightly, eyes cold as steel as they landed on the pathetic figure. “This idiot’s so ugly,” he muttered with a faint curl of disgust, “those men might not even be interested in him.”Grandon let out a low chuckle. “I wouldn’t be too sure about that, Mr. Rift. The ones in Cell 010 came from the West—they might not share our idea of what’s attractive.”Selena’s stomach churned. Morganna covered her mouth in disbelief.Jaden raised a brow, unimpressed. “So you’re saying even he might appeal to them?”“Oh, definitely,” Granddon replied with mock seriousness. “And considering how... enthusiastic they are, I doubt they’ll be picky. Once he’s in

    After Morganna finished her report, the air in the room turned glacial.Jaden Rift stood completely still for a moment, his expression unreadable. But the longer he stared, the darker his gaze became—until his eyes were cold enough to freeze blood.Then, slowly, he turned toward Hector Packwood.The man looked pitiful—sweaty, trembling, and far less dignified than the pompous businessman he had been an hour ago. His clothes were rumpled, his skin pale, his lips twitching nervously.Jaden’s voice was quiet, but it carried the weight of thunder.“How dare you threaten my wife?”The words hit like a physical blow.Hector opened his mouth, but no words came out. His throat was dry, his tongue heavy. “M–Mr. Rift, I—I didn’t mean—”His stammering only made things worse.Jaden took a step closer, his shoes clicking against the floor like the ticking of a bomb. “Didn’t mean it?” His tone was calm now—too calm. “You told her you could ‘help her husband’ if she spent a night with you. That’s no

    After witnessing the brutal fate that befell Henry and his team, Chase Li’s entire body trembled.The screams still echoed in his head, every sound a reminder of how quickly power could shift—and how close he was to being next.He wished he could melt into the walls, disappear into the shadows, anything to avoid drawing attention from either Granddon Vax or Jaden Rift. But fate, cruel as ever, had other plans.Because Granddon’s sharp eyes were already on him.“Chase Li,” Granddon growled.The sound of his name cracked through the tense air like thunder.Chase’s knees almost buckled. “Y–Yes, sir!” he stammered, his voice trembling.Grandon folded his arms behind his back, his expression unreadable. “I’ve heard the detention center has been looking to hire cleaning staff lately.”Chase blinked, unsure where this was going. “Sir…?”Grandon’s tone turned icy. “Well, it seems they won’t need to look any further. Hand your duties over to someone competent and report to HR first thing tomor

    Granddon snorted coldly. “We act by the letter of the law here. So yes, Captain Lancaster—we dare. Arrest them!”His voice cracked through the air like a whip.The fifty fully armed elites standing behind him moved as one, their boots pounding in unison as they surged forward.The command had barely left Granddon’s lips before his men surrounded Henry and his team with military precision. Within seconds, the Shadowmoor officers were disarmed and restrained.Henry’s face went pale, then flushed with fury. “Grandon Vax!” he barked, struggling against the officers restraining him. “You’ve bitten off more than you can chew! We’re from the district-level bureau! You dare touch us, and you’re done for! You’ll regret this—you hear me?”Grandon didn’t even flinch. He folded his hands behind his back and said with cold indifference, “Then I’ll wait for that regret to arrive. In the meantime—find a larger holding cell and throw them all in there.”His tone was calm, but the quiet authority in i

    Henry quickly stepped forward, forcing a polite smile onto his face. “Deputy Chief Vax, isn’t it? I’m Henry Lancaster, Captain from Shadowmoor.”He extended his hand confidently, expecting the man to return the gesture. After all, they were both from law enforcement—equals on paper. And in Henry’s mind, a district-level officer like him easily outranked a local-level Deputy Chief. He assumed Granddon would show him the proper respect due to his position.But to Henry’s shock, Granddon didn’t even glance in his direction.The man brushed past him as though he were invisible, his boots echoing sharply on the concrete floor. He walked straight toward Jaden and gave a firm, respectful nod.“Mr. Rift,” Granddon said, his voice calm but reverent, “I trust you’re unharmed?”Henry’s smile faltered instantly. His hand hung awkwardly in the air before he quickly withdrew it, his jaw tightening.Mr. Rift?Why was the Deputy Chief speaking to that bastard with such deference?Jaden rose from wher
