At Jaden's new penthouse.

The room was dead silent—only the hum of the city far below the glass walls broke through.

Jaden sat cross-legged on the floor, shirtless, his eyes closed, breath slow and even. A light breeze from the open balcony fluttered the curtains. The scar down his back was visible—ugly, deep, old. His body, still as stone, radiated calm… but not peace.

Then the elevator beeped.

Footsteps.

Drax entered, boots heavy against the marble. He tossed a thick envelope onto the table.

    The chubby woman let out a cold, mocking laugh, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Selena and her family.“What exactly are you trying to say?” she sneered. “Did my dog actually hurt anyone?”Selena’s patience snapped.Her face flushed with anger as she stepped forward, her voice sharp. “What kind of attitude is that? Your dog just rushed at us and snatched my mother’s groceries right out of her hands. Do you even understand how dangerous that is?”Nora was still shaken, clutching the torn grocery bag tightly, her hands trembling slightly.But the woman didn’t care.Not even a little.She casually placed her hands on her hips, completely unfazed.“My Logan just ate a piece of your chicken,” she said arrogantly. “I’ll pay you back. Simple.”Then her lips curled into something uglier.“And even if he bit your mother to death, I could still afford it. My family has more money than you could ever imagine.”Her eyes swept over them with open contempt.“Your lives aren’t even wor

    Selena’s blush spread all the way down to her neck. She felt both embarrassed and slightly annoyed, her heart still racing from the unexpected interruption earlier.“Are you not embarrassed at all?” she demanded, glaring at Jaden. “Don’t you dare bring up this matter again!”Jaden chuckled softly, clearly amused by her reaction. His eyes held a playful warmth.“We are husband and wife,” he replied casually. “What is so embarrassing about kissing my wife?”Selena’s face turned even redder at his shameless response. She nudged him lightly in the arm, half annoyed and half flustered.“Stop talking about it already,” she muttered, avoiding his gaze. “Let’s just head home. It’s getting late.”Jaden studied her for a brief moment, then nodded.As they walked toward the car, his thoughts drifted back to the incident earlier that day—the close call involving their daughter. Although Mark and Joe had discovered the threat in time and eliminated the danger before anything serious happened, the

    Ryan grinned as he watched the guards drag Jazzy away, his expression filled with satisfaction.“I don’t know about that,” he said casually, dusting off his hands, “but one thing is certain—he will never bully another woman again.”A few of the other security guards chuckled in agreement.Not long after, the guards hauled Jazzy and his battered subordinates out of the office. Their groans of pain gradually faded down the hallway, leaving behind an eerie silence.The once spotless executive floor now looked like the aftermath of a storm. Broken furniture lay scattered across the room, papers were strewn everywhere, and faint streaks of blood stained the polished floor.Jenny hurriedly stepped forward, her face pale but composed. She quickly pulled out her phone and called the cleaning staff.“Bring the full team up immediately,” she instructed in a low voice. “And be discreet.”Within minutes, several cleaners arrived and began working efficiently, wiping down surfaces, collecting debr

    Jazzy let out a mocking laugh, his lips curling with open disdain as he looked at Jaden and Selena.“I’m afraid it’s too late for you now,” he said coldly. “Even if you strip and kneel on the ground to beg me, I still won’t let your husband off.”His words were arrogant, dripping with cruelty, as if he already held their fate in his hands.Jaden, however, showed no sign of anger. Instead, he chuckled softly, the sound calm and almost amused.“You seem very confident,” he said lightly. “Prepared to kill me, are you?”The casual tone only made Jazzy’s expression darken. The laughter on his face vanished instantly, replaced by naked hostility. Hatred flickered in his eyes as he stared straight at Jaden.“You better hand over Rift Group to the Roman family,” Jazzy said, his voice low and threatening. “Otherwise, your wife will have to stay with me for three full days while you kneel by my bedside and watch. If you behave well enough, I just might consider letting you live.”The room fell

    Selena’s scream tore through the office, sharp and desperate, her composure completely gone.“Stop the car! Stop it right now!”Her hands trembled as she clutched the phone, her eyes locked on the screen like her life depended on it.On the other end, the car was already accelerating.Mia and Nora were still walking, completely unaware of the danger rushing toward them.Time felt like it slowed.Every second stretched painfully.Selena’s breathing turned erratic. “Please… please stop… don’t hurt her…”Her voice cracked, her entire body shaking.—Jazzy watched her calmly, almost amused.This was the reaction he expected.He tapped the desk lightly with his fingers, as if keeping rhythm with her panic.“You see,” he said casually, “this is why people should learn to cooperate.”He leaned forward slightly, his voice lowering.“One signature. That’s all it takes.”Selena didn’t even look at him.Her world had narrowed down to the screen in her hands.“Mia… Mia…” she whispered under her b

    Jazzy didn’t wait to be invited.He casually pulled a chair out and dropped into it like he owned the place, then leaned back and rested his polished leather shoes right on Selena’s desk, completely ignoring basic manners.A smug smile crept across his face.“Of course,” he said lazily. “I’m here to talk about Rift Group.”Selena’s heart skipped.Her first instinct came back again.Could he actually be the chairman?But the way he carried himself…Something didn’t add up.She kept her expression steady and asked carefully, “I don’t quite understand. Who exactly are you?”Jazzy tilted his head slightly, clearly enjoying the moment.“I’m the grandson of the South’s top household,” he said proudly. “The Roman family.”He paused just enough for it to sink in.“Jazzy Roman. You can call me Mr. Roman.”The air in the room shifted.Selena’s brows tightened slightly.So that was it.Not the chairman.Trouble.Big trouble.She straightened her posture, her tone turning more formal.“I see. Mr.
