Chapter: Chapter 34 In Voss House IIDrake stared at him. Then he burst out laughing — a sharp, surprised sound. "Elena?" He shook his head. "I think I understand your plan now. Trying to get close to two best friends at the same time. I have to say — I actually admire that." "You—" Nadia snapped. "What are you pretending for?" Drake said, looking at Nadia. "You did not even know your friend had something going on with her own bodyguard, did you?" He smiled. "I just figured it out right now." Nadia stepped forward. Alexander touched her arm lightly. She stopped. Drake reached for the wine bottle on the table and poured himself a glass. "Look," he said, settling back. "We are both men. Let us be reasonable about this." He took a slow sip. "There are plenty of women in this city. More than enough. Elena is mine — I think we have established that. But her friends?" He waved a hand generously. "All yours. And that is just the beginning." He leaned forward. "Tell me what she is paying you. Whatever the number is, I wil

Chapter: Chapter 33: In Voss HouseAlexander arrived at the Voss residence a few minutes later.He had barely reached the entrance when Ryan pushed past him and spun around, pointing. "You just wait right there—" He turned toward the door, already calling out for Drake's men to come and put this man on his knees before he set foot inside.But Ryan was stopped at the door before he could get through."I'm sorry, sir. You are not permitted to enter."Ryan stared at the guard. "I have been here twice already. Do you not recognize me? I am Young Master Drake's friend.""Young Master Drake did not mention you, sir. You will have to wait outside."Ryan opened his mouth to argue. Alexander stepped forward." All of you, I am here to settle an account with your Young Master," Alexander said. He looked at the guards one by one, slowly. "That has nothing to do with any of you. But if you decide to get in the way—" he paused, "don't say I didn't warn you.""How dare you—" one of the guards started.Then a group of men came out fr

Chapter: Chapter 32. Waiting for PunishmentSophia spun toward Ryan and pointed at him. “You — that is not what happened and you know it—”Alexander reached over and took her hand gently. She stopped and looked at him. “It is okay,” he said quietly. “Let it go.”Sophia pulled her hand back slowly. She looked at Ryan, then at Alexander, then down at her own phone. Nothing about this situation was okay. She was not about to gamble her life on a man she had met less than an hour ago, no matter how many people he had taken down. She needed her father. She needed real backup.She brought her phone up and started to dial.“No need,” Alexander said.Sophia stopped and stared at him. What is wrong with this man? she thought. Does he really think that beating a few men in a hotel room makes him untouchable? Does he have any idea what the Voss family is capable of?Ryan held the phone out toward Alexander. "He wants to speak with you."Alexander took it and switched it to speaker so everyone could hear."You have some real nerve." Drake'

Chapter: Chapter 31: Broken ProtectionThe man on Drake's right stepped forward. He cracked his neck to the left. Then to the right. Then he cracked his knuckles, slowly and deliberately, one hand at a time. He looked at Andrew the way someone looks at a problem they have already solved. "You are lucky today," he said. "Most people never get the honor of dying by my hands. Consider yourself special." Andrew took a slow breath. His heart was beating faster than he wanted it to. He kept his face steady, lowered into his fighting stance, and moved first. He crossed the room in three fast steps — and hit nothing. The man was not there anymore. Andrew stopped. He looked to his left. To his right. Then he heard a voice directly behind him. "Looking for me?" Andrew spun around. The man was standing right behind him, his hands relaxed at his sides, with no sense of fear on his face. "So," the man said. "How would you like to die? The Voss family is giving you a choice. That is more than most people get." Drake sat back i

Chapter: Chapter 30: Not Over YetThen he smiled. A fool is always a fool, he thought. He reached for his phone. "You just signed your own death certificate, kid. You wait right there."Sophia wrapped her fingers around Alexander’s wrist. She gave a small, quick shake of her head. That last thing he said could get them both killed right where they stood. They needed to leave. Right now.Back at the Voss house, Elena set down the third glass.She placed both hands flat on the table and focused on keeping the room still. It wasn't cooperating. The walls had started moving in a slow, lazy circle, and the table under her hands felt less solid than it had a few minutes ago."Don't tell me you're done already." Drake's voice came from across the couch, unhurried and amused. "A CEO who can't get through five glasses of wine to save her own company." He laughed — a short, easy sound that had nothing genuine in it. “I wonder what people would say if word got out about this.”Elena looked at him. Then down at the bottle. She re

Chapter: Chapter 29: The Tables TurnedThe door burst open. Ryan paused for a moment, chest heaving, fury running hot through every part of him. “Tell me I shouldn’t kill all of you,” he said, his voice low and tight . “You are supposed to make sure no one interrupts me having my fun. Any message can wait till I’m done here.” He turned around and bark. “Get ou—” The word died in his throat. A stranger was standing there. Calm. Arms loose. Looking at Ryan like he was the one who didn’t belong. "I think," Alexander said, "you're the one who needs to get out." Ryan stared at him. He nodded slowly — this kid had a death wish. But then another thought pushed through the anger. How did he get in? He had four men outside that door. He climbed off the bed and stood up. “I don’t know how you managed to get in here,” he said, pointing at Alexander. “But you just made the biggest mistake of your life.” "You should have found out how I got in before you started making threats," Alexander said. Ryan's jaw tightened. "Okay. You'

Chapter: CHAPTER 83: Hospital BillThey made it to Mayo Clinic just in time. The doctor reviewed the charts and gave a slight nod.“She’s gonna be okay,” he said. “As long as we start treatment immediately.”Nathan felt a wave of relief — but it was short-lived. His mind was already racing. His wife’s life was on the line, and now the cost of saving it was staring him in the face, too.About half an hour later, a nurse came by and asked Nathan to step into the doctor’s office.“Good afternoon, Doctor,” Nathan said, trying to keep his voice steady.“Good afternoon, sir. Please, have a seat.”Nathan sat, hands clasped tight in his lap.“We’ve stabilized your wife’s condition,” the doctor began. “But she needs surgery. And it has to happen soon.”Nathan nodded slowly. “Okay, Doctor. Whatever it takes.”The doctor slid a folder across the desk. Inside was the bill.$250,000.Nathan blinked. His throat tightened. He stared at the number, trying to act like it didn’t shake him.But it did.He didn’t have that kind of money.

Chapter: CHAPTER 82: Between Life and Loss“Dad… Gabriel divorced me,” Samantha said quietly.“What?” Nathan’s voice rose in shock. “What do you mean he divorced you?”Samantha broke down again, tears spilling over. “He accused me of cheating on him… with Clark.”“Clark?” Nathan asked, confused. “Who’s Clark?”“Jake’s friend,” she said through sobs. “The one I told you about before.”“Oh… right. Clark. I remember now.” Nathan leaned in, concern deepening. “So what happened?”“He came by to tell me about a job opening,” she explained. “After everything that happened at Jake’s birthday — the way I was humiliated by Jake and his wife — Clark just wanted to help. I hugged him… and that’s when Gabriel walked in.”She paused, her voice trembling. “He said we were making love. Then he told me to sign divorce papers.”The room went quiet.Only Samantha’s soft crying filled the silence.“Is that all?” Nathan asked quietly.“Yes,” Samantha whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks.Nathan paused, then leaned in gently. “It’s okay, my dea

Chapter: CHAPTER 81: After the Wedding 5Samantha cried the entire afternoon. By evening, Gabriel still hadn’t come home.She made up her mind, she’d wait for him all night if that’s what it took. Every so often, she went to the window, peering out into the darkness, hoping to see his car. At some point, exhaustion pulled her under.When she woke around two in the morning, the house was still silent. Gabriel hadn’t returned. She broke down again, her tears carrying her straight into dawn.As the first light crept in, a thought struck her. Without hesitation, she went to the kitchen and began preparing his favorite meal. When my husband comes back, he’ll be hungry, she told herself.But the food sat untouched, growing cold.It was late when Gabriel finally walked in, not with a smile, not with an explanation, but with divorce papers in his hand.Before he could take two steps inside, Samantha dropped to her knees. Her face was pale and drawn, her hair messy from a night without rest. She was looking broken.“Gabriel, please,”

Chapter: CHAPTER 80: After the Wedding 4Before Gabriel even got home, his phone buzzed with a bank alert — one million dollars had just been deposited into his account.By the time he walked through the door, his mood had shifted.“Welcome,” Samantha said with a warm smile.He handed her the bag of fruit, the perfume, and the body spray without a word. Samantha was happy when he saw the items, whoa! This is nice of you. I love you, my dear. Hugging him on his seat. But then, she noticed that Gabriel was not happy.“Don’t tell me you’re still upset about what happened at that party,” Samantha said, studying his face. “Because the look in your eyes and your mood say it all.”Gabriel didn’t answer. His mind was somewhere else, turning over the thought of how he could end their marriage.A few days later, Clark was driving through the neighborhood. On a whim, he decided to turn toward Samantha’s house before heading home.“Hello, Samantha. Are you at home?” he said over the phone.“Yes,” she replied.“Okay, I’m coming right ove

Chapter: CHAPTER 79: After the Wedding 3Samantha and Gabriel got home still burning with anger.“Jake looked me right in the face and insulted me in front of everyone,” Samantha said, a bitter smile tugging at her lips. “So this is what it was all along. I thought you had changed, but you’re still the same bad guy I met back on campus.”Gabriel paced the room, his hands on his hips, while Samantha stood facing the wall, her shoulders tense.“How can I be humiliated like this?” she whispered. “God help me not to cross paths with those people again… because if I do, it won’t be a good day at all.”Gabriel stopped pacing and walked up behind her. He placed his hands gently on her shoulders. “It’s okay, dear,” he said softly. But as he looked closer, he realized she had been crying the whole time.Samantha ended the call and set the phone back on the table. Gabriel was still sitting on the couch, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees.“That was Clark,” she said quietly.Gabriel looked up. “What did he want?”“He called t

Chapter: CHAPTER 78: After the Wedding 2“No problem,” Clark said with a smile. “I’m expecting both of you.”“Alright, bye.”The call ended.The party was already in full swing when Samantha and Gabriel arrived. Music floated through the air, glasses clinked, and laughter rolled from one corner of the room to the other. Clark had gone all out for his birthday. The place was warm, bright, and filled with familiar faces.They mingled quietly, greeting a few people, trying to blend into the crowd. Samantha was happy to see Clark smiling, moving from guest to guest like the perfect host.About an hour in, the room shifted. Heads turned toward the entrance as Jake and Julia walked in. They looked polished, confident, the kind of couple that drew attention without even trying. They made their way around the room, greeting people with hugs and handshakes.But when they reached Samantha and Gabriel, they stopped. Jake’s eyes flicked over them, and without a word, he moved past as if they weren’t even there. Julia followed, her lips
