The flashing lights of police sirens illuminated the blood-stained ground as officers swarmed the building, apprehending everyone on site.

Brayden stood at a distance, his arms crossed, watching as Desmond’s remaining men were dragged out one by one, their hands bound behind their backs.

Some resisted, struggling against the officers, but the weight of their crimes left them with no escape.

The police moved quickly, securing the scene while investigators combed through every inch of the hideout.

A few officers headed toward the back rooms, where Desmond’s computers and personal belongings were located.

Brayden observed as one officer plugged a small device into Desmond’s system, his fingers moving rapidly over the keyboard.

Moments later, he straightened up, exchanging a glance with his colleague.

“We’ve recovered deleted files,” the officer muttered, his voice sharp with intrigue. “It’s worse than we thought.”

Another officer peered at the scree

    Brayden leaned back against the leather seat of his car, his jaw clenched as he spoke into the earpiece. “Inez, launch a frontliner attack on Desmond,” he ordered. His voice was calm but carried an unmistakable edge. “Force him to run. Make it look like he has a way out, but do not let him escape completely. I want him desperate, looking for a place to hide.”“Yes, boss,” Inez’s voice crackled through the line. “I’ll make sure we execute it well.”Brayden ended the call, shifting gears as he sped toward his next destination. He had already chosen his battleground—an abandoned construction site on the outskirts of the city. It was the perfect setup, an isolated structure with enough space for an ambush.As he reached the site, he parked a short distance away and stepped out of the car. The night air was cool, carrying the scent of damp concrete and dust. The building stood like a skeletal frame against the dark sky, its walls unfinished, the floors lit

    Brayden barely glanced up when the door to the hospital room opened, his sharp gaze fixed on Penelope as she lay on the hospital bed. Her breathing was even, her face serene, but the bruises on her arms and the healing wounds across her skin served as a painful reminder of what she had endured. The soft glow of the television illuminated the room, casting flickering images of the breaking news across the walls. It was official—Haylee and Desmond’s empire had crumbled.The police had not only arrested everyone on-site but had also recovered vital deleted documents from Desmond’s system. The damning evidence laid bare their darkest secrets—corruption, blackmail, and a network of criminal activities stretching further than anyone had anticipated. The anchor’s voice rang through the quiet room.“It has been confirmed that Haylee and her husband Desmond were involved in illegal dealings, blackmail, and coercion. Law enforcement officials have seized all their

    Brayden’s vision was clouded with rage as he scanned the chaotic room, his breath ragged, his body battered and aching, but none of it mattered. Not the pain, not the blood dripping from his own wounds. All he could see was Desmond. All he could hear was the torment in Penelope’s muffled sobs and the weak, barely audible cries of Anya. His hands tightened around the whip he had just picked up—a cruel, vicious weapon with small blades embedded along its length. It was perfect.Without hesitation, he lashed it forward, wrapping it around Haylee’s body before she could react. The sharp edges bit into her skin, and she let out a piercing shriek, her arms flailing. Her body jerked as she struggled against the tightening grip of the whip, her eyes wide with terror. Before she could make another sound, Brayden yanked her forward with all his strength. The force sent her crashing into the guards who had just rushed into the room, knocking them backward like

    Brayden stood at the podium, his face a mask of forced humility as he read the words he never thought he would utter. His voice, steady but filled with barely contained rage, echoed across the room. “I deeply regret the misinformation that has been spread about Haylee Corporation. My previous accusations were completely false, fueled by my own selfish ambition to secure the contract. Haylee Corporation is innocent, and I sincerely apologize to them and the public for any harm caused.”Cameras flashed, reporters whispered among themselves, and the weight of the moment settled on his shoulders like a crushing boulder. But none of it mattered. Not the damage to his reputation. Not the consequences of his words. Only one thing mattered—getting Anya and Penelope back alive.As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped away from the podium. Reporters surged forward, microphones extended, voices overlapping as they shouted questions.“Mr. Giovanni, are you sa

    Brayden’s fingers trembled around the phone as Desmond’s voice slithered into his ears like a venomous snake. His breath came in ragged bursts, his heart pounding like a war drum.“You should be thanking me, Brayden,” Desmond’s tone was almost amused, a sick enjoyment laced into his words. “You’ve been mourning ashes that don’t even belong to your wife and daughter. The ones I sent off to the afterlife were nothing more than reporters and policemen who thought they had the guts to capture me.”Brayden’s grip on the phone tightened until his knuckles turned white. His jaw clenched, his teeth grinding together with an intensity that made his head pound.“You bastard,” he growled through gritted teeth, his voice dangerously low.Desmond chuckled. “I thought you’d be happy. I mean, after all, your beloved Penelope and little Anya are still alive—for now, at least.”Brayden’s chest ached as he processed the words. The grief, the agony that had threatened to consu
