The Cold Corridor

Vivienne Lin offered a polite, shallow smile and nodded gracefully toward Chloe Bishop. Behaving exactly as if she held zero historical data regarding her existence, she stood quietly right beside Xavier Grayson's side, engaging him in soft, quiet conversation.

Chloe shrank her frame backward into the corner of the elevator cabin, remaining perfectly silent as she turned herself into thin air.

The hospital building layout was not high, and the electronic elevator doors glided

    Xavier Grayson pressed on, "Leave it to you? Do you know how many of my men Seth Rollins has wounded? Do you know how much he's cost me? Leave it to you—can you deliver his head to me?"Question after question, his tone relentless and aggressive. "Let me tell you something—even if he wanted a truce now, I wouldn't agree."His words told Chloe Bishop one thing clearly: in the first two rounds, he'd been the loser. Seth Rollins was the one winning.Bitterness flooded her heart. "So the two of you are determined to fight to the bitter end?""Either he dies, or I do."His voice was cold as frost, merciless and brutal.Chloe Bishop curved her lips, a resolute glint in her eyes. "Fine. Since neither of you wants to live, I'll be there to collect your bodies. After you're both dead, I'll reap all the benefits."And with that, she hung up.A flicker of confusion crossed Xavier Grayson's cold, handsome face. What did she mean by those last words—was she planning to come to South Africa?The th

    She immediately said to Zayed, "Memorize these two faces. They should be nearby."Zayed asked, "Do you want me to draw them out?"Chloe Bishop shook her head. "No. Not yet. But I need you to start preparing. Seth Rollins's men are highly skilled. If it really comes down to a fight, I want us to have a 100% chance of success."Zayed didn't ask any further questions. "Understood. I'll make the arrangements."As they neared the hotel, Zayed said to the driver, "Here's some money. Buy me a phone and a SIM card. Drop them off at the front desk when you're done—they'll give you a generous reward."The driver agreed without hesitation.Chloe Bishop shot Zayed an approving glance.When they reached the hotel, they both got out and went inside.Before long, the front desk delivered the new phone and card to Chloe Bishop.With the new phone in hand, her first call wasn't to Nora Fatehi or to Charles Bishop—it was to Xavier Grayson.Why call him?In the end, the conflict between Xavier Grayson a

    When Zayed didn't answer for a long time, Chloe Bishop put on a lighthearted smile. "It was just a hypothetical—don't take it too seriously."She was carrying a child now. Going to South Africa came with real concerns.On top of that, she knew very little about the place and had no connections there. She wouldn't take that risk unless absolutely necessary.Zayed paused, then finally replied, "If that kind of opportunity really existed, of course I'd be willing to go for it. What man wants to stay ordinary? If there's a chance to rise above, even if it means fighting tooth and nail—bloodied and bruised—I'd take it gladly."They did want peace. But when a real opportunity presented itself, any young person with dreams would reach out and grab it, desperate to change their fate.Chloe Bishop tucked his words away in her mind. Just then, her phone buzzed—a message had come in.She thought it was Dane sending the files, but it was Seth Rollins again. A thought struck her, and she quickly i

    The Ontario team was seething with anger and resentment.Rob snapped, "What's there to be proud of? Beating Jon doesn't mean you'll make the top ten. America is a massive country—your population is dozens of times ours. You should be embarrassed!""Why should we be embarrassed?"Chloe Bishop shot back. "Aside from racing, we lead the world in plenty of other fields. What about you? Why don't you name a few of yours for us?"Rob was struck speechless.Just then, Nora Fatehi walked toward them. Behind her, Jon was a completely different man from before the race—dejected, defeated, utterly crushed.Dax, Gary, and the others felt nothing but pure satisfaction.When Jon finally returned to the Ontario team, Nora Fatehi looked at him coldly. "A bet's a bet. Apologize."Rob shook his head at Jon, signaling him not to.But Jon glanced at Chloe Bishop—calm and composed—then bent his body into a bow toward her and the rest of the American team. "I'm sorry."Dax frowned. "Louder. Can't hear you.

    "Most importantly, Seth Rollins served in the military for ten years. He was later discharged—I don't know the exact reason."Chloe Bishop watched Zayed's expression closely as she continued, "I suspect he wasn't the only one kicked out back then. And it seems they all ended up following him after they left."In other words, Seth Rollins had a group of highly skilled men around him.Zayed didn't flinch—he actually smiled. "Are you telling me all this now to make me back out?"Chloe Bishop replied, "I'm saying that from this moment on, my safety is in you and your brothers' hands. Show me whether you're worth the price."At that moment, Chloe Bishop carried an unspoken authority. Zayed rarely saw that kind of presence in a woman—especially one so young.It only cemented his belief that Chloe Bishop was destined for extraordinary things.Truth be told, she did have a very bold idea right now—so bold it made her uneasy.But every time she thought of the child in her belly, it was like a

    Nora Fatehi perched herself on the car hood, her eyes glinting with amusement as she looked at Jon.Jon's face darkened. "Who do you think you're looking down on? Someone like her—trash like that—thinks she's qualified to race me?"After all, Rob and Jon were the top champion racers of their country.Nora Fatehi wasn't bothered in the least. She just smiled. "I'm afraid you won't even measure up to trash."Chloe Bishop arched an elegant brow, her beautiful eyes flicking toward Jon as her red lips curved upward. "What's wrong? Scared?"Jon stared at the stunning beauty before him, his throat bobbing. "What's there to be scared of? Just don't go back on your word when you lose."Chloe Bishop leaned forward slightly. "If she loses, I'll go on that date with you. If you lose, you say 'I'm sorry' to us three times—loud and clear.""Jon, don't agree to this!" his teammate warned immediately.But Jon waved it off. "Relax. You think I'd lose to some old hag?"Rob chimed in, "You're worrying o

    Outside the Operating Room.Chloe sat on a plastic chair, still wearing her million-dollar designer wedding dress. She was trembling, sitting as still as a lifeless mannequin. The dress, once pure and white, was now stained with dark, wet patches of blood. Against the crimson stains, her skin looke

    Chloe pinched the tiny scrap of black lace between her fingers, her expression filled with pure skepticism. "Are you serious? Is this even wearable?"Wouldn't just pinning him down be faster and more efficient? she thought.Bella rolled her eyes at Chloe’s lack of romantic vision. "What do you know

    “Have you found out who did this yet?”Liam Martin’s usually handsome, refined face was currently shrouded in a dark, suffocating shadow. He looked cold and lethal—the literal personification of the calm before a devastating storm.At twenty-four, Liam had spent the last six years clawing his way t
