Chapter Hundred Thirty Five
Breaking News Marcel paced furiously across the marble floor of the Green Mansion’s grand living room, he kept looking at his watch like it was counting down to something he couldn’t quite name. “This place sounds like a freaking graveyard! Why is it so quiet?!" He snapped at the security man that stood beside him. The man cleared his throat and scratched his head, “It might be because you sent away all your kids." “Sent away?! The traitors ran off like the snakes that they are! I caught them and so they had to flee! They had no blood choice!" He snapped angrily, pulling his own hair. The security man thought he looked a little unhinged but of course, he couldn't say that to his boss. “I can't believe this! They all are snakes! They plotted to betray me! All of them! My own kids!” He screamed, horrified. The security man stepped back and continued to look down quietly. Marcel had been on this for the past two days. All he did was speak to himself and yell. But no matter how lo
Chapter Hundred Thirty Four
The Proposal and the Pact"I want to marry Lily.”That's all he said and then every pair of eyes in the room stared at Ashton, as though trying to decipher if this was a joke, a stunt, or some theatrical display.Even Lily looked stunned at the request. “What?!” Christopher finally exploded, slamming his palm on the mahogany table. “Where did that come from?!”Lily blinked, lips parting as she stared at Ashton. “You’re joking, right?”But Ashton shook his head calmly. “No, I’m not joking. That's my demand, sir.” He looked Christopher in the eyes and repeated himself, "I would like to marry your daughter.” Lily’s throat bobbed as she swallowed. “You want to marry me?”Even Margaret looked between her daughter and Ashton and couldn't understand the shock on Lily's face. Didn't she know about Ashton's interest? “Ashton, dear that’s quite the announcement.”“It's a demand. I had a blank cheque, remember?" Margaret nodded, “Still, that is unexpected." “I know,” Ashton admitted, “But I

An Old Foe. A New FriendThis was an open cheque. He could make any request, yet, he held back. Ashton hesitated with a polite smile. “I don’t want anything, sir. Just knowing Lily is back with her family is enough.”But the older man shook his head. “Nonsense. A man like you doesn’t come around often. Tell me what you want, land, money, protection, a title. It’s yours. You’ve given us back our daughter. You’ve given us back hope.”Lily’s mother nodded beside him. “You’ve returned light to this home. Thank you, Ashton.”Ashton glanced at Lily, who gave him a shy, grateful smile. “Just take care of her,” he said quietly. “That’s all I ask.”The man looked between them and sighed. "Welcome to our home, young man," the man said, pulling Ashton into another surprisingly heartfelt hug. "I'm Christopher Forrest. Patriarch of the Forrest family. And this," he gestured to Lily who stood beaming beside Ashton, "is my daughter.""It's an honor, sir," Ashton said, offering a polite nod. "I onl

Forrest of Rage “I’m taking you home. Back to your family. You’ve been away for over a decade.”Lily looked at him quizzically and her breath hitched. "My... my family?""Yes," Ashton confirmed. "You’ve been through hell, Lily. But it’s time to go back to the people who truly love you.""You think I should?” She looked confused and conflicted, "It's been years and I know they've moved on.” Ashton shook his head, "This is crazy. How could you possibly think your family won't want you again?” Lily sighed, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have ever trusted Marcel. And I know my family has been through hell trying to get me back. I'm only going to reopen their wounds.” Ashton held her hands and said, "I don't know what Marcel said to you in there, but I'm here to tell you that it's a lie.” Lily looked at him oddly, “How did you know?" Ashton shrugged, “I don't have to see it to know it. That's all Marcel does, he lies and steals and tries to fuck us up. But you're stronger, he's not
Chapter Hundred Thirty One
One Last Time Ashton knew that all it took was one wrong move and Marcel would have the upper hand. One wrong move and he'd be sorry for life. Marcel wasn't a child. He knew how to bring men to their knees. He'd destroyed more families than he could count. 78 bodies. That's how many men Elijah Voss has taken down for him. Now, he had all that information on tape and a journalist waiting to publish it to the whole world. Soon, everyone would know Marcel for the monster he was. That afternoon, Ashton stood beside Lancaster, arms folded tightly across his chest, eyes glued to one of the screens that showed his mother and sister seated in a secure hospital in the city. It was a life feed from the cameras just as he'd instructed. He wanted to make sure he had eyes on them at every second. "Are your men absolutely certain about the perimeter?" Ashton asked worriedly. Lancaster, towering in a black bulletproof vest, gave a firm nod. "My men are some of the best in the business, Asht

Nowhere to Hide Ashton turned sharply at the sound. Even before he saw who it was, he knew. It could only be one person who'd be so pleased at this chaos. Augustine. The snake. The man who had taken his trust and crushed it into a billion pieces. A man who wasn't worthy of being called his brother. Ashton turned around, his jaw tightening as he met Augustine’s smug, triumphant smile. “Well, well,” Augustine drawled, descending the steps dramatically. “Look at the prodigal son, finally standing up for himself.”Ashton’s heart thudded, not from fear, but from clarity. The way Marcel looked at him, the venom in his voice, the accusations, it all made sense now.Augustine was using the same words he'd used many months ago when he took over Titanium Incorporated. The prodigal son. “You told him,” Ashton said, his voice was low but steady.“Of course he did,” Marcel spat, shoving Ashton back a step. “How else would I have known that you’ve been scheming behind my back like a treac
