CHAPTER 44 MERCY
Thomas and Linda, still watching from outside the gate, exchanged horrified glances.This was escalating far beyond anything they'd imagined. Tom Harrison's name carried weight—real weight.If he sided with the Portman family...A sleek black car pulled up within minutes, tires screeching. Tom Harrison emerged, his expression grim and purposeful. He'd clearly driven here at dangerous speeds, responding to Gabriel's urgent call."Gabriel!" Tom called out as he approached the gate. "What's going on? You said—"He stopped mid-sentence. His gaze had swept across the scene and landed on Darius, who stood calmly amid the pile of defeated thugs.Tom Harrison's face went white as fresh snow."Oh God," he whispered. "Oh no. No, no, no.""Tom!" Gabriel rushed toward him, relief flooding his features. "Thank God you're here! This man—this CRIMINAL—he attacked my son! Broke his leg! Beat up my men! He's trespassing in YOUR development! I want him arrested! I want him DESTROYED!"Tom didn't respon
CHAPTER 43 PUNISHMENT
The thirty thugs surged forward like a wave, but it was a wave crashing against a cliff. Darius moved with terrifying efficiency—each strike precise, each movement economical.Within seconds, five men were on the ground, groaning. Within thirty seconds, fifteen more had joined them.Aria fought beside him, her strikes just as devastating. The thugs weren't trained fighters—they were street muscle, used to intimidating ordinary people, not facing warriors who'd survived real combat.Gabriel Portman watched his hired force crumble with growing horror and rage. His face twisted, and suddenly his hand dove inside his jacket, emerging with a small pistol—a .38 caliber, chrome-plated, the kind of weapon rich men carried to feel powerful."ENOUGH!" Gabriel pointed the gun at Darius with a shaking hand. "Stop RIGHT THERE or I'll SHOOT!"Darius paused mid-strike, letting his current opponent collapse to the ground. He turned slowly to face Gabriel, and the older man actually took a step backwa
CHAPTER 42 BROKE MY LEG
Nigel's eyes shifted to Darius, really seeing him for the first time. "And who exactly are YOU? Her boyfriend? Her protector?" He laughed. "You look like a beggar. Like dirt someone scraped off their shoes. You're not going to protect anyone.""Alessia doesn't need to be grateful," Nigel continued, turning back to her. "But she WILL marry me. Within the month. I'll send the details to your family. Be ready.""No," Darius said, his voice like ice. "She won't. She's refused. That's the end of it."Nigel's face flushed red. "Did you just— Did you actually just tell ME no? Do you have ANY idea who I am? What I can DO to people who cross me?""I know exactly what you've done," Darius replied calmly. "Fourteen wives, all dead under suspicious circumstances. You're not a man. You're a monster in an expensive suit.""MONSTER?" Nigel's composure finally cracked. "How DARE you! I should—GUARDS!"Four large men in black suits materialized from near the gate—Nigel's personal bodyguards, clearly u
CHAPTER 41 YOUNG MASTER
Thomas and Linda were still being escorted away from the gate when Linda's eyes suddenly lit up. She grabbed Thomas's arm frantically, pointing down the street."THERE! That's him! That's Trevor Mitchell!"A young man was walking toward the gate—perhaps twenty-eight years old, dressed in expensive designer clothes, his hair slicked back with too much product. Everything about him screamed wealth and arrogance, from his gold watch to his designer shoes.But there was something else too. Something that made people instinctively step back when he passed. A coldness in his eyes. A predatory quality to his smile."MR. MITCHELL!" Thomas shouted, breaking free from the security guard's grip. "Trevor! Over here!"Trevor Mitchell—though everyone who knew him called him by his middle name, Nigel—turned slowly, his expression one of mild annoyance at being addressed so familiarly by obvious social inferiors."Who are you?" His voice was smooth but carried an edge of contempt."We're the Jacksons
CHAPTER 40: RETURN BACK
The car stopped at the checkpoint, and Thomas and Linda rushed over before Alessia could even process what was happening."Alessia!" Linda's voice was saccharine sweet now, all her earlier hostility evaporated. "Darling! We knew you'd come to your senses!""What?" Alessia looked confused."You're here to meet Trevor Mitchell!" Thomas beamed. "You changed your mind about the marriage proposal! Oh, this is WONDERFUL! We were just trying to get inside to arrange the meeting, but these guards—""I'm not here to meet anyone," Alessia said coldly. "We're moving into our new home."Thomas and Linda burst into laughter."YOUR new home?" Linda clutched her sides. "In RIVERSIDE HEIGHTS? Oh, that's RICH! Alessia, dear, stop joking! This development is for millionaires! For A-ranked families! Not for broke little girls living in hovels!""She's telling the truth," Darius said calmly, holding up a key card and entry pass. "Villa Number 001."The laughter died instantly. Thomas and Linda stared at
CHAPTER 39: MANSION
Patricia Stevens was still calling for her manager when the main office doors opened and two men in expensive suits walked in, clearly in the middle of an important conversation."—and the infrastructure improvements should be completed by next quarter," the older man was saying. "The utility upgrades alone will add significant value to—"He stopped mid-sentence as his gaze swept the room and landed on Darius.John Cole's eyes widened with recognition, then something like panic. He immediately broke away from his companion and crossed the room in quick strides."War God!" John's voice was urgent and respectful. "I didn't know you were here! If I had known, I would have—"He stopped himself, clearly aware they were in a public space, but the damage was already done. Everyone in the sales office had heard him.Patricia's face had gone white as fresh snow.The man who'd entered with John—Tom Harrison, the primary developer of Riverside Heights and owner of Harrison Properties—took one lo
