“Are you serious?!” Janice shrieked over the phone, her voice bursting with wild excitement.Steven grinned arrogantly as he sped down the one-way road, one hand lazily on the wheel. “Hell yeah, Sis. I told you I’d handle it. I left that pathetic bastard with no choice. He was shaking, practically crying and begging like a little bitch. Signed the divorce papers right there. I’ve got them with me now.”Janice jumped up and down in the middle of the mall, drawing stares from shoppers. “So I’m finally free from that worthless loser?! Oh my God, Steven, you’re the best! I’m heading home right now. Bring the agreement immediately so I can hand it to my lawyer. I want this nightmare over once and for all. This definitely calls for a huge celebration!”Steven beamed like a dog that had just been patted in the head, chest puffed out with pride as the call ended.He chuckled smugly to himself, eyes drifting to the bright sky outside. “Look how perfect the day is… just like how I feel right no
Ch 30
Drex gasped awake, drenched from head to toe in ice-cold water. He coughed violently, his chest heaving as he struggled to catch his breath. The water stung his eyes, forcing him to blink rapidly. When his vision cleared, he looked up to see a masked man smirking down at him, empty bucket still in hand.“He’s awake!” the man hollered triumphantly.Drex winced, his head throbbing with brutal pain. He scanned his surroundings with a dark, disturbed frown and realized he was tied to a chair in the middle of a dimly lit, abandoned warehouse. Thick ropes bit into his wrists and ankles.He let out a deep breath, his sharp gaze moving one by one across the eight masked men standing guard around the room.“Comfortable enough for you?” a mocking voice rang out.Drex lifted his head without any trace of surprise, only understanding. “You and your cheap, childish tricks, Steven,” he muttered, a bitter smile tugging at his lips as he lowered his gaze.Steven stepped forward with a grin and a co
Ch 29
Martha let out a sharp, derisive scoff, her lips curling in disgust. “Of course you’d defend him, Yolanda. Why wouldn’t you? You’ve always had your greedy little eyes on this worthless deadbeat. Do you honestly expect any of us to swallow that pathetic lie?”Jordan smirked inwardly, thoroughly entertained.“Because it is the truth,” Yolanda shot back, unflinching.Janice rolled her eyes dramatically and shook her head, her voice dripping with contempt. “I don’t believe a single word coming out of your mouth, Yolanda. We all know Drex is broke and always has been. His own father died penniless and pathetic.” She turned to Drex with a nasty snicker. “And you’re not even ashamed, are you? Your dad barely cold in the ground, and you’re already harassing me with some cheap, fake garbage? I'm telling you, you're crazy! You're delusional!”Drex looked at her angrily, his hands clenched into tight fists at his sides as a violent urge to punch her surged through him. How dare she? Janice noti
Ch 28
Janice held both necklaces up, turning them slowly in the light, her eyes flicking back and forth between the identical Midnight Promise pieces. Confusion creased her brow as she looked up at Jordan.“How is this even possible? This is the exact same necklace Drex bought.”Drex stood perfectly still, face a blank mask, giving nothing away.Martha edged closer, practically shoving her face between Janice’s hands to gawk at the identical pieces.Jordan’s gaze snapped to Drex, then back to Janice, brows shooting up in disbelief.“Wait… Drex bought that for you?”Angela, equally thrown, chimed in quickly.“From everything I’ve read online, there’s only one Midnight Promise in existence, at least in the country. A mysterious buyer already dropped thirty million dollars on it earlier today. So how are there suddenly two right here?”Jordan froze for half a heartbeat.The necklace he brought was, of course, a flawless imitation, a high-end fake. He’d never imagined anyone would actually pay
Ch 27
Night had fallen by the time Drex reached home.He knocked on the door and it swung open almost instantly, revealing a giddy Martha who thought it was Jordan.The moment she registered Drex’s face, her expression crumpled and a deep scowl replaced the excitement.She stood there in rumpled brown pajamas, hair mussed and wild which was enough to know that whoever she was expecting to knock on her door was someone she was impatiently waiting for."Of all the faces I could see before bed, it had to be yours?” she spat, voice dripping with disgust. "I don't want you bringing any bad luck to me, Drex, so get out! Go back to where you came from.”Drex let out a tired sigh and stepped forward, pushing her out of the way.Martha stumbled back with a sharp gasp, nearly losing her balance. She recovered quickly, cheeks flushing with fury, ready to lunge at him, until Drex thrust the velvet box directly in front of her face.“I brought a gift for Janice,” he said evenly. “Where is she?”Martha s
Ch 26
The Fattie’s throat worked visibly as he swallowed hard, fighting back the tears welling up in his eyes. Three million dollars wasn’t loose change, it was a fortune that could ruin him. But with the shadow of the Knight Group looming over everything, refusal wasn’t an option.‘All because of that damn Chloe…’ The bitter thought burned in his mind. She had dragged him straight into this nightmare.He flicked a reluctant glance at Drex, shoulders slumping in defeat.“Fine,” he muttered. “I’ll buy it.”Chloe’s bruised, swollen face instantly lit up. A wide, almost manic smile split her lips despite the pain radiating from every mark. The agony no longer mattered.Finally.After dragging her around half the day like some cheap accessory, that miserly pig had only coughed up a pathetic thousand-dollar trinket. She’d begged for jade, threatened him, thrown every tantrum in her arsenal, and all she’d gotten were empty promises and excuses.But now? Three million. On a necklace. And she woul
