Public Enemy, Public Idol
Morning didn’t creep into the city. It exploded.By the time Jason opened his eyes, his face was everywhere. News anchors, bloggers, influencers—everyone was dissecting the grainy police footage. The video was shaky, but the golden glow was unmistakable. Jason Carter—once the most despised son-in-law in Chicago—was now something else entirely.On a massive flat-screen in Bill’s living room, a young anchor’s voice filled the air:“Viewers, this is bodycam footage from last night’s incident in Southside Chicago. The unidentified man—confirmed by some as Jason Carter—appears to emit light from his skin while confronting known gang members. Authorities are investigating whether this was an act of vigilantism or something more dangerous.”The screen cut to another commentator, a woman in a red blazer:“We’re looking at either cutting-edge tech or something supernatural. Either way, Jason Carter is no hero. This is the same man accused of killing his unborn child. Are we ready to hand him t
Flames of Judgment
Jason’s body hit the cold pavement, but his mind was nowhere near Chicago.The world shattered around him.Flashes—blinding, endless—exploded in his skull. He stood not in an alley, but on a battlefield drowned in fire. His armor gleamed obsidian-black, etched with golden runes that pulsed like living veins. Before him, an army of mortals knelt, trembling. Behind him, gods with radiant halos sneered, their blades dripping with betrayal.A voice thundered in his head. “Ar-Zekar, Judge of the Ages! You’ve grown arrogant. You punish as if you alone hold truth.”Jason—no, Ar-Zekar—snarled back. “I did not crown myself judge. Humanity’s cries did. Their suffering demanded justice.”The gods’ eyes glowed. “Then justice is your chain. And chains break gods.”He remembered—blades piercing his back, light tearing him apart, his body falling through eternity until it landed in a weaker shell: Jason Carter.Jason gasped, jerking awake in the alley. His skin glowed faintly gold, cracks of light c
The Brother’s Trap
Brandon’s clap echoed like mockery in the night air. He strolled into the lantern light, suit jacket undone, tie loose, smirk carved across his face.“Well, well,” he drawled. “The rejected mutt comes crawling back to the garden. Tell me, Jason, do you ever get tired of embarrassing yourself?”Jason didn’t move. His eyes narrowed, his hands still curled loosely at his sides. “Careful, Brandon. You almost sound brave when you’ve got an audience.”Emily stepped between them quickly. “Stop this. Both of you.”Brandon ignored her, his smirk widening. “Oh, I’m just getting started.” His eyes flicked to Emily’s trembling hands pressed against her stomach. His smile turned cruel. “Funny thing about miscarriages… they tend to leave scars. But you, dear sister, don’t look very broken at all.”Emily stiffened, her lips parting in panic.Jason’s heart slammed. He took a step forward, his voice a whip. “What do you know?”Brandon’s gaze glittered with malice. “Oh, wouldn’t you like to know? Maybe
The Return of Emily
The night pressed heavy around the Lee mansion, its garden lit by lanterns that glowed like pale moons. Jason stood on the gravel path, hands shoved into his pockets, every muscle taut with the storm he carried inside him. He’d rehearsed a thousand things to say, but the moment he saw her, all the words dried up.Emily.She stood under the arch of roses, her hair spilling down her shoulders, her silk dress clinging to her frame as though even the fabric feared letting her go. Her eyes found his—and the ache in them was sharper than any insult he had endured in this cursed family.Her lips trembled before she spoke. “You shouldn’t be here, Jason.”Jason gave a humorless chuckle. “Yeah, I keep hearing that. Funny thing, though—this place owes me more than it owes any of them.”Emily crossed her arms, as if bracing against him. “Please, don’t start—”“I’m not starting.” He stepped closer, the crunch of gravel punctuating his words. “I’m finishing. Tell me one thing, Emily. Just one.”Her

The Lee mansion was suffocating that night. The golden lights made the marble gleam, but it couldn’t hide the stink of fury in the air.Brandon slammed a crystal glass against the wall, shards scattering like diamonds. “He humiliated me! In front of investors, in front of the goddamn world!”Mr. Lee stood from his leather armchair. His hand cracked across Brandon’s cheek before the rant could go any further.“You fool!” Mr. Lee’s voice boomed, deep and merciless. “You let that bastard turn the boardroom into a circus. Do you know how much money is at stake?”Brandon clutched his face, stunned. “You think this is my fault? He came with fake papers—”“Shut up!” Mr. Lee’s spit flew as he shouted. “If you weren’t sloppy, if you weren’t busy parading women and wasting money, he would’ve had nothing to use against you!”Brandon’s teeth ground together. “So now you’re taking his side? Jason, the stray dog you picked up for Emily?”From the corner of the room, Mrs. Lee spoke for the first tim

The room smelled of expensive whiskey and smug arrogance. Crystal glasses clinked, laughter buzzed, and polished shoes tapped softly against the marble floor. The investors—men and women with shark-like eyes were already bored before Jason even opened his mouth.A man with a silver beard muttered just loud enough to be heard. “Did someone invite the janitor to pitch?”Jason’s lips quirked. He set down his battered leather folder at the head of the glossy black table. “Funny,” he said, voice smooth. “Janitors usually clean up the mess. Which is exactly what I’m here to do tonight.”The laughter died down.He flipped the folder open, sliding a set of documents forward. Pages whispered against the wood, exposing Brandon Lee’s sins in neat black and white.“Wire transfers. Shell companies. Offshore accounts. Millions funneled out of your funds into Brandon’s pockets. Pretty messy for someone claiming to build the next trillion-dollar empire.”A woman in a sapphire blazer leaned closer, na
