Immediately Damien looked away from the phone completely, stood up, and muttered under his breath, “Well… that’s their business.”

His tone was cold, flat, final.

He walked toward the window of his study, hands in his pockets, mind already shifting far from the deaths he’d just been informed of. Whatever happened to Megan, her mother, and Jefferson… it was the consequence of choices. And those choices didn’t involve him anymore.

**

As far as he was concerned, their story ended the moment they tried to bury him.

Far away from the quiet luxury of Malvin Estate, deep in a secured, undisclosed location shielded from government surveillance and public knowledge, was the hidden stronghold of a feared and nameless group—The Circle.

The hideout wasn’t like anything out of a movie. It wasn’t flashy or cinematic, It was cold. Silent. Underground, Layers of steel, thick walls, and the kind of shadows that swallowed people whole. Men in black suits and faceless masks moved like shadows, silent and

    She took a deep breath, clearly gathering her courage as she continued addressing the tense situation unfolding before her. “This entire shopping complex actually operates under very strict rules and regulations that are enforced without exception, regardless of who the parties involved might be or what their social standing is.”Her voice became more steady as she stated the most important regulation clearly. “There is absolutely no fighting of any kind permitted inside this shopping complex under any circumstances. This is a firm policy that management enforces rigorously with serious consequences for violations.” She gestured toward the elegant surroundings as if to emphasize the refined nature of the environment they were in.“If parties have personal disputes that they feel must be settled physically, they are certainly free to take their disagreement outside the premises to resolve it however they see fit,” she continued, her tone becoming more confident now that she was simply

    At that moment, upon hearing what Damien had just said with such calm curiosity and seemingly innocent inquiry, Penelope's reaction was immediate and explosive. Her jaw tightened visibly as her face flushed with indignation, and then she launched into a furious tirade of insults and accusations that echoed through the elegant antique store with shocking intensity.“How dare you actually talk about my husband in that suspicious and inappropriate manner!” she shouted, her voice rising to a pitch that drew the attention of other customers in nearby sections of the upscale mall. “Who do you think you are to actually start questioning and suspecting my husband's legitimate success and achievements? What gives you the right to interrogate me about his business affairs and sources of income?”Her gestures became increasingly animated and aggressive as her anger built momentum. “Do you think my husband is some kind of fraud or criminal? Are you actually suggesting that he's somebody who eng

    At that moment, hearing what Sophia had just said with such obvious frustration and desperation, hearing her attempt to find some alternative solution to the increasingly humiliating situation she found herself trapped in, Penelope started laughing with genuine amusement and obvious satisfaction. Her laughter carried the sound of someone who had successfully cornered their opponent and was now thoroughly enjoying watching them struggle.“Oh, just look at Sophia now, trying to use yet another escape tactic to get out of facing the full consequences of what she's done!” Penelope exclaimed with obvious delight, her voice carrying the tone of someone who had anticipated exactly this kind of maneuvering. “Did you actually think that I wouldn't see right through this transparent attempt to avoid accountability?”Her expression became even more smugly superior as she continued her analysis of Sophia's motives. “Though Sophia apparently thinks I don't understand all of these manipulative litt

    At that moment, upon hearing what Penelope had just said with such condescending false concern, upon processing the clear implication that she was somehow untrustworthy or likely to flee from her responsibilities, Sophia shook her head in profound disappointment and disbelief. Her expression showed not just anger now, but genuine hurt that someone who had known her since childhood could think so little of her character and integrity.“So you actually thought I was going to run away from this?” Sophia asked, her voice carrying a mixture of incredulity and wounded pride. “Seriously? Is this honestly how you actually see me as a person, or what kind of character you think I have?” Her eyes searched Penelope's face, looking for some sign that this was all a misunderstanding, some indication that her childhood acquaintance couldn't possibly have such a low opinion of her moral fiber.“Or do you actually have some other hidden motive in all of this harassment and interference?” Sophia conti

    At that moment, upon realizing and seeing that it was Penelope who had just spoken with such mocking condescension, Sophia felt a surge of anger rising within her chest. The sight of Penelope standing there with that satisfied, superior expression made her blood boil with frustration and indignation. However, even through her anger, Sophia's practical mind recognized that Penelope's presence and taunting words were not the major problem she needed to focus on right now.The major problem, the truly serious issue that demanded her immediate attention, was actually the destroyed pot and the mounting consequences of what she had accidentally broken. That expensive, irreplaceable antique lying in fragments on the floor - that was what should be worrying her far more than Penelope's attempts to humiliate her. The financial and legal implications of destroying such a valuable piece were potentially devastating, and that reality was even more concerning and threatening than dealing with Pene

    At that moment, upon witnessing what had just transpired before her eyes, seeing thousands of dollars worth of irreplaceable historical artifacts destroyed in a matter of seconds, the sales representative's jaw immediately dropped open in complete shock. Her hand instinctively flew upward to cover her mouth, as if trying to contain the gasp of horror and disbelief that threatened to escape. She stood there utterly shocked and utterly disoriented by the catastrophic scene that had just unfolded in the pristine, carefully maintained establishment.The woman found herself frozen in position, her body refusing to move as her mind struggled to process the full magnitude of what had occurred. Years of working with priceless antiquities, years of careful handling and meticulous preservation, and now this - a scene of destruction that represented not just financial loss but the irreparable damage of pieces that had survived centuries only to be destroyed in the store, under her watch.It was
