Sir, we have tried our best. We have looked everywhere — all the locations, even CCTV have been checked — and all the places we traced show no trace. But, sir, we can assure you that we are trying our best.

“Trying your best?” Nelson shouted angrily as he hit the table. “Don't tell me you are trying your best — my fiancée has been kidnapped for three days now and you are telling me you have tried your fucking best,

"sir please be calm we assure you we will get her back"

Nelson, with all the pain inside him, shouted back. His eyes showed the hurt; every vein in his neck stood out as if he was ready to fight. “Don't tell me to calm down, okay? How do you expect me to be goddamn calm when someone I'm supposed to marry is kidnapped?”

Miguel and Robby quietly held his shoulders and tried to soothe him. “It's okay. Jane's fine. Let's just go home and make a better plan.”

Robby went back to one of the officers. “Officer, we know you're trying, but please—you have to do better. My

  • CHAPTER 49:All The Courage He Had Left

    Nelson sat alone in the living room, the glow from the large screen washing over his face. The headline stood bold and unforgiving, each word heavier than the last.KYLER PARK ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH HIGH-LEVEL FINANCIAL FRAUD.Nelson exhaled slowly and leaned back into the couch. For a long moment, he said nothing. He had seen this ending coming, yet it still left a strange ache in his chest. After everything—every warning, every second chance—this was how Kyler’s story ended. Prison bars. Cold walls. Silence.He shook his head gently.Despite everything Kyler had done, despite the betrayal and the greed, Nelson found himself forgiving him in that quiet space deep in his heart. Not because Kyler deserved it, but because Nelson was tired of carrying hate. He had carried enough of it for a lifetime.Soft footsteps pulled him out of his thoughts.“Hey… you’re up early.”Jane leaned down and kissed his forehead, her lips warm, familiar. Nelson’s shoulders relaxed instantly, as if her

  • CHAPTER 48: Easy Things Felt Hard

    Nelson had faced guns without blinking. He had stared down judges, generals, traitors, and enemies who wanted him buried before sunrise. But this? This was different. He sat alone in his private study long after the house had gone quiet. The lights were dim, the city glowing faintly through the glass wall in front of him. Papers lay untouched on the desk. His phone rested beside them, screen dark. For once, there was nothing demanding his attention. Nothing except his thoughts. Jane. He leaned back slowly, running a hand through his hair, letting out a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding. Why does this feel harder than everything else? He had planned wars. He had planned empires. He had planned revenge so carefully it unfolded like a script. Yet the idea of kneeling in front of the woman he loved… His chest tightened just thinking about it. Not because he didn’t want to. Because he wanted it too much. Nelson stood up and walked toward the glass, hands sliding in

  • CHAPTER 47: Be Hind The Mask

    Nelson didn’t sleep that night. The house was quiet, too quiet, the kind of silence that pressed against the chest and refused to let go. He lay awake on the bed, one arm stretched toward Jane’s side, but she wasn’t there. The sheets were cold. She hadn’t come to bed. He stared at the ceiling, replaying everything that had happened in the past forty-eight hours. The files. The missing funds. Kyler’s calm face at dinner. The way he had bowed his head like a man who had finally learned humility. It had all been an act. Nelson pushed himself up, rubbing his face hard. The ache in his chest wasn’t anger anymore. It was disappointment—deep, heavy disappointment. He had wanted to believe. Not for Kyler’s sake, but for his own. He wanted to believe that people could change, that forgiveness didn’t always end in blood. His phone vibrated on the bedside table. Johny. Nelson answered immediately. “Talk to me.” “We found it,” jhony said, his voice sharp and awake. “kyler was

  • CHAPTER 46: You Have To Keep Watching

    "Hey Grandpa everything is fine the company have been moving more well ever than before" over the Nelson's grandfather old voice passed through "that's good to hear but remember all what I have taught you about business you have to keep your eyes sharp." After the call Nelson started to wander why his grandfather would give such an advice now that everything seems ok,or is there something going wrong that my eyes can't see? Everything looked normal on the surface—too normal. The company was stable, the board had finally stopped breathing down his neck. Kyler Park blended into that calm like he belonged there. He arrived early every morning, left late every night. He spoke less, listened more. He stopped arguing, stopped explaining himself, stopped trying to prove anything. That alone should have raised alarms—but Nelson mistook it for growth. People change, right? That’s what he kept telling himself. Kyler worked quietly, efficiently, almost invisibly. He didn’t sit at

  • CHAPTER 45: Trusted To Much

    “Bro, you can’t tell me you let that guy come back into your life again after everything he’s done,” Robby said over the phone, his voice tight with warning. “That guy is definitely up to something. You have to keep your guard up.” Nelson sighed, rubbing his temple as he stared out the window. “But man… Kyler was really different last night. The way he begged—he looked broken. Like he was genuinely ready to change. I don’t know, Robby. Everyone deserves at least one chance. Let’s see what he has to offer.” There was a pause on the other end of the line. “Alright,” Robby finally said. “But if Kyler tries anything funny, Nelson, I swear I’ll lock him up myself.” Nelson let out a light laugh. “Let’s just hope it doesn’t get to that point.” “I’ll come over later,” Robby said before ending the call. Nelson dropped the phone onto the bed. “Was that Robby?” Jane asked, wiping sleep from her eyes as she sat up. “Yeah,” Nelson replied. “He’s not really happy about Kyler being back.”

  • CHAPTER 44 : Kyler Park's Forgiveness

    “Sir, you don’t have to meet him.” Tony’s voice was firm, uneasy. He stood near the window, arms folded, eyes fixed on Nelson like he was looking at a man about to step into fire. “This guy is crooked,” Tony continued. “Kyler Park doesn’t change overnight. He might be planning another game. Another setup. You can’t trust him.” Jane nodded immediately, her expression tight with worry. “Tony’s right,” she said, stepping closer to Nelson. “We can’t trust Kyler again. Not after everything. If you have to meet him, then it has to be with the police involved. No private meetings. No risks.” Nelson listened quietly, hands in his pockets, his face calm—but his mind wasn’t. “I know,” he finally said. “But the way he sounded on the phone… it wasn’t like before. I’ve never heard Kyler speak that calmly. Ever.” Jane straightened sharply. “Nelson,” she said, her voice rising, “we cannot keep being blinded by Kyler’s mess again and again. How do you expect him to suddenly be a saint after e
