CHAPTER 101 PART 2
Edward leaned in close, his breath hot on the prisoner's face. "Then let me refresh your memory. There was a confrontation in the garden. My nephew Stephen confronted a man—a tall man, military bearing, dangerous. They argued. And then Stephen was killed. You were there. You saw it. Now tell me exactly what happened."The prisoner's resistance crumbled under Edward's intensity. More tears fell. His body shook with fear and pain."Okay! Okay!" he sobbed. "I did see something! But please, you have to understand—I was terrified! I didn't want to get involved! I just wanted to do my job and go home!""Talk," Edward commanded. "Every detail. Now."The prisoner took a shuddering breath, his words tumbling out in a desperate rush. "There was a man—exactly like you said. Tall, maybe six-two or six-three. Military posture, moved like a soldier. Dark hair, cold eyes. He was standing by himself near the rose bushes when Mr. Wesley approached him.""Stephen approached him?" Edward clarified. "Not
CHAPTER 101 PART 1
Josh stood there for a long moment, his face still contorted with fury, but his eyes were calculating now. The rage was giving way to cold pragmatism—the survival instinct of someone who'd grown up in a world where deals and compromises were currency."Fine," Josh said through gritted teeth. "You want cooperation? You want partnership? Then let's be clear about the terms."Emma's posture relaxed slightly, sensing victory. "I'm listening.""You help me get Alessia," Josh said, his voice low and dangerous. "Not just into my bed—I want her broken. Completely broken. I want that smug, self-righteous attitude of hers shattered into pieces. I want her begging, humiliated, destroyed."His eyes glinted with malicious satisfaction. "She embarrassed me. Made me look weak in front of everyone. Called me pathetic, worthless, said I was nothing without my father's money. Nobody talks to me like that and walks away unscathed.""Consider it done," Emma said calmly. "I'll break her piece by piece. St
CHAPTER 100 PART 2
Josh's breathing was labored, his fists clenched so tight his knuckles were white. "What. Do. You. Want.""I already told you," Emma replied. "But let me be more specific this time, since we seem to be having communication issues."She started counting on her fingers. "First, I want protection on this campus. Real protection. If anyone threatens me, touches me, or even looks at me wrong, you make sure they regret it. Your reputation becomes my shield.""Second, I want money. Fifty thousand dollars deposited into an account I'll provide. That's for immediate needs—paying off my family's debts, getting us stable. After that, I want a monthly stipend. Five thousand a month for as long as our arrangement continues.""Third, I want status. You treat me like your girlfriend in public. We're seen together at events. You introduce me to important people. You give me access to the social circles I could never reach on my own."She paused, watching his face cycle through expressions of rage and
CHAPTER 100 PART 1
Josh's face contorted with rage, his features twisting into something almost inhuman.His eyes bore into Emma with such intense hatred that if looks could kill, she would have dropped dead on the spot.The veins in his neck stood out prominently, his jaw clenched so tight it looked like his teeth might crack from the pressure."You—" he started, his voice a low growl that promised violence. "You have no idea what you've just done. No idea who you're threatening."Emma felt a flutter of fear in her chest—a natural response to the murderous intent radiating from Josh like heat from a furnace.Her heart rate increased. Her palms grew slightly sweaty.Every survival instinct screamed at her to back down, apologize, run.But she held her ground.Because she did have the upper hand. And she knew it.The video had been a lucky accident—if you could call witnessing potential manslaughter "lucky."Emma had been walking home from her evening shift at the library that night, cutting through the
CHAPTER 99 PART 2
The girl collapsed to her knees, gasping, clutching at her chest. Her breathing had become a horrible wheezing sound. She was clearly having a severe asthma attack, her body going into respiratory distress."Please—" she gasped. "Help—can't—breathe—""Let's go," Josh said on the video. "She's learned her lesson.""Sir, she's not breathing right," one of the bodyguards said uncertainly. "Should we call—""She'll be fine," Josh interrupted. "Come on. I'm bored."The video showed them walking away, leaving the girl collapsed on the ground, still gasping desperately for air that wouldn't come.The video ended there, but Emma's voice filled the silence that followed."Her name was Jennifer Hayes," Emma said quietly. "Twenty-three years old. Working two jobs to support her younger siblings after their parents died. She scratched your Porsche by accident when she was rushing to her shift at the coffee shop."She looked at Josh with cold contempt. "Your bodyguards scared her so badly she had
CHAPTER 99 PART 1
Josh's face transformed as he watched the video, his earlier arrogance melting away like wax near flame. His expression darkened—not with embarrassment or shame, but with cold, dangerous fury. The kind of fury that came from realizing you'd been outmaneuvered by someone you'd considered beneath your notice.The atmosphere in the training hall shifted instantly. What had been a relatively casual confrontation suddenly felt lethal.The two trainers—Carl and Marcus, Josh's personal enforcers—immediately sensed the change in their employer's demeanor. They moved without being told, closing in on Emma from both sides, their postures shifting from casual observation to active threat assessment.Within seconds, Emma was surrounded. Carl positioned himself behind her, blocking her exit route. Marcus moved to her right, his hand hovering near the concealed weapon he carried. The circle tightened like a noose, making it clear that if Josh gave the word, Emma wouldn't make it out of this hall al
