Chapter 30: INNOCENT, MY FOOT
Frank exploded into a coarse, derisive laugh that tore through the charged air like a knife, the sound raw and unbelieving.“So you betrayed me because of Andrew?” he spat, words slick with fury. “You just lost a whole fifty million dollars that was supposed to be your bargain.”Mrs. Edward’s face twisted, shock folding instantly into a rage that had lived under her skin for months.“Frank, you are heartless,” she hissed, voice cracking with a grief that had nothing to do with money. “How could you? How could you plan to kill my only daughter for just fifty million?”The masked man slid the apple tablet back into his coat with the slow care of someone closing a verdict.“You want to know why he did it,” he said quietly, each syllable setting the forest on edge, “because he wanted to save Carina from you. So you would not drag her down for failing to refund the fifty million debt. Your stupid past and forgotten love history blinded you. You nearly paid for it with your daughter’s life t
Chapter 29: HE IS THE ALMIGHTY DRAGON
The moment the mysterious masked man reached the center of the clearing, the forest held its breath. The JACKAL men dropped to their knees in a single, practiced motion, foreheads touching the backs of their right hands like a ritual; their voices rose together in a hard, disciplined chorus—WELCOME KING—The earth almost trembled with the thunder of their united voices.A violent shift rippled through the atmosphere—authority had just walked in.Mrs. Edward’s mouth thinned into a line. Frank’s eyes went flat. Even Jake, who had been hacking and limping, breathed as if someone had finally closed a wound inside him. “Who is this, again?” Mrs. Edward asked, but the question sounded thinner than she meant it to be.“K… king?” Frank managed, the word sticking to his tongue.Jake forced himself upright, clutching his bruised ribs as he regained his breath. His eyes narrowed. “I think… their real leader just arrived.”Before Jake could speak further, Frank snapped and stepped toward him, clos
Chapter 28: GIVE THE KILL ORDER
Andrew suddenly laughed.It wasn’t normal laughter. It didn’t sound human. It spilled out slowly at first, a quiet rumble like thunder rolling across dead land—then it exploded, sharp and cutting, echoing across the woods like shattered glass.“Unbelievable,” he said, brushing a hand through his hair as if he’d just heard the funniest joke on earth. “What a disgraceful joke. Wait, do you actually take me for a fool?”Mrs. Edward stood firm in front of him, her elite guards forming a tight murder circle around Andrew. Her expression was stone—decorated with loss, hardened by revenge—but her eyes carried something darker. Regret. Maybe even guilt.Andrew’s voice dropped, cold enough to freeze bone. “You knew I wasn’t the one who murdered Edward. Yet you stood there and let them drag me in chains like a stray dog. You knew I was innocent, but you still helped frame me. You still chose to work with your husband’s real murderers. Do you have any idea what ten years inside that hellhole wou
Chapter 27: THERE WON'T BE A NEXT TIME! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE
Frank’s eyes met Wilson’s and a small, practiced signal passed between them like a cold coin.“What do you mean?” Frank asked loudly, the question aiming to sound innocent. “Andrew hired you to kidnap Juliet, didn’t he? We’ve never met before, right?”Wilson’s laugh was thin and wet with contempt. “What do you mean we’ve never seen each other, Frank? Is that how you play it now, feigning ignorance?” He took a step forward, every syllable a blade. “You asked us to kidnap Juliet, to kill her and pin it on the Jackal so we could split the 100 million ransom. That’s the deal you sold.”Mrs. Edward’s face went white and then red as betrayal hardened into fury. “What?” she breathed, shock shattering into accusation. She moved toward Frank like a woman propelled by a blade. “Frank! How could you be so despicable?” Her voice tightened. “You actually planned this—to help Carina? You went this far to save her from the impending financial downfall? You won't even hesitate to save that bitch with
Chapter 26: WHAT A BASTARD LIAR!
Money had never smelled like blood until this tense afternoon.The forest was eerily silent, the tension so thick it seemed to press against Mrs. Edward’s chest. A masked man in a JACKAL uniform shoved her forward, his grip brutal, forcing her to confront Wilson. Her heart pounded, every beat screaming terror as her eyes locked onto the man who held the power to decide her daughter’s fate.“Where is Juliet? I swear I’ll kill all of you if anything happens to my daughter!” Mrs. Edward’s voice cracked, raw and desperate, but threaded with the iron of a mother’s fury.Wilson extended his hand, slow, deliberate, and cold. Her hands, shaking but determined, lifted the bag of money she held, the leather stiff beneath her fingers. Every second stretched like a lifetime.“Is it complete?” Wilson asked as he opened the bag, his eyes glinting like steel.Mrs. Edward snorted, a mix of disbelief and frustration, her lips curling into a frown. Wilson’s patience ran thin, and suddenly his hands shot
Chapter 25: GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON I SHOULDN'T KILL YOU
The afternoon sun bled faintly over the horizon when the steel doors of the police station groaned open. Andrew walked out with a face carved in fury. The taste of prison was still in his mouth — the smell of iron, blood, and betrayal clinging to him like a curse he couldn’t shake off. His fists were tight, his eyes colder than asphalt after rain.“Hey! Andrew. Wait for me.”The voice cut through the air like a knife. Andrew froze, his shoulders tightening before he turned around sharply.Marcus was limping toward him — that same boyish face, pale under the half light, dragging his bad leg like a broken memory.Andrew’s brows furrowed. “You again?”Marcus gave a slow smirk. “I knew you wouldn’t stay long in there. A man like you — a man of purpose — can’t be locked behind walls for too long.”He drew closer, voice low, steady. “You don’t look like you have many friends. You don’t have a family either, do you?”Andrew’s jaw clenched. “I have a family. He’s sick. I need to go see him rig
