“Pierce Corporation is doomed…”

The words rippled through the crowd in hushed, anxious murmurs, passed from one executive to another like an inevitable verdict no one dared to say aloud with certainty.

All eyes turned to Ashton. Expecting—anything. But he remained exactly where he stood. Calm. Composed. Untouched by the chaos swirling around him.

Not a single line on his face shifted, not a flicker of emotion breaking through his control. His gaze stayed steady, distant almost, as though everyt

  • Bound By A Broken Night   Chapter 124 - Directive

    “Pierce Corporation is doomed…”The words rippled through the crowd in hushed, anxious murmurs, passed from one executive to another like an inevitable verdict no one dared to say aloud with certainty.All eyes turned to Ashton. Expecting—anything. But he remained exactly where he stood. Calm. Composed. Untouched by the chaos swirling around him.Not a single line on his face shifted, not a flicker of emotion breaking through his control. His gaze stayed steady, distant almost, as though everything unfolding before him was nothing more than background noise—irrelevant, unworthy of his attention.Whatever calculations ran behind those steady eyes, no one could tell.Beside him, Cassidy stood just as still. No panic. No outrage.Only silence.And somehow, that quiet composure felt far more dangerous than any reaction at all."You heard me, CEO Pierce,” Roel Danes called out, his tone dripping with provocation when Ashton gave him nothing in return. “Do you understand what that means?”

  • Bound By A Broken Night   Chapter 123 - Declaration

    "Mirriam…? What are you saying?” Red’s voice came out unsteady, almost hollow, as if the name itself no longer belonged to the person standing before him.He stared at her—as though trying to reconcile the daughter he thought he knew with the woman now looking back at him. But there was nothing familiar in her expression. No hesitation. No guilt. Only cold amusement.“Your daughter is over there,” Mirriam said lightly, tilting her chin toward Cassie with a mocking smile. “The one born from a maid… the one who spent her entire life trying to earn even a scrap of your approval.” Her chuckle was soft, but it cut deep.“She tried so hard, didn’t she? Ever since she learned how to walk, she’s been chasing after you—hoping you’d finally look at her like she mattered.” Mirriam’s eyes gleamed with cruel satisfaction. “And what did you do?” she pressed, her voice laced with biting mockery. “You pushed her away every single time—again and again—without a second thought.”Her lips curved into

    Ashton stepped forward. The shift was immediate.The ease in the room vanished. Conversations died. Even the security standing beside the directors straightened, tension tightening their posture.There was something in Ashton’s expression—dark, controlled, dangerous enough to make people hesitate.“What exactly is the meaning of this, Directors?” he said, his voice low.His eyes flicked to his phone—now in the grip of one of their men—before settling on Belsky and Lukin.Director Belsky let out a short, mocking breath.“No one has disrespected representatives of the Petrovs the way you just did, CEO Pierce.”He extended his hand. The phone was placed into it.“Who, in their right mind, would provoke officials personally sent by CEO Vasili Wright?” Belsky continued, casually turning the device over in his hand. “No one has direct access to his office—except us.”A faint smile curved his lips.“You don’t need this.”Then—a sharp crack echoed. The phone hit the floor. Shattered.Fragmen

    Bay City descended into chaos the moment Cassie and Ashton returned.The news had spread faster than anyone could contain. Every outlet carried the same headline—the fall of Malakai Group.Speculation flooded the streets. Some were shocked. Some were uncertain. But not everyone was mourning. Some were celebrating.“In just a matter of hours, Malakai is finished,” Roel Danes declared in front of the press, his voice carrying easily over the noise. A smug, triumphant smile stretched across his face.“It seems the company wasn’t as powerful as people believed.” He let out a short, mocking laugh. “And even Ashton Pierce can’t do anything about it.”Cameras flashed as reporters leaned in, eager for more.“No one escapes the reach of the petroleum giants,” he went on, his tone laced with satisfaction. “Malakai Group made the mistake of crossing them.” He paused, letting the words settle.“And now they’re paying for it.”A few murmurs rippled through the crowd.“Let this be a lesson,” Roel

    "Nothing was stolen from Petrov Petroleum.”Vasili’s voice was calm, final—his eyes fixed on Cassie. The statement landed harder than she expected.After the tense encounter yesterday, they were back in the same scene again. Different venue, but same men.But this time, Cassie wasn’t walking in blind. She knew where she stood. And more importantly—she knew who she was dealing with.“Nothing?” she repeated, her brows pulling together, confusion clear on her face.Vasili didn’t look away.“Reports of a stolen patent did surface,” he said evenly. “And yes—there was an incident.”That didn’t help. If anything, it made less sense. Cassie’s confusion deepened, her gaze sharpening as she tried to follow.“There was an attempt,” Samuel added, his tone more composed than the day before. No mockery this time—just clarity. “But it failed.”He leaned back slightly, watching her reaction.“They triggered the Petrov firewall,” he continued. “And in doing so… exposed themselves.”Cassie’s eyes narr

    The room emptied one by one, the Petrov men filing out as if the meeting had simply paused, not ended. Even Zandrie was ushered along with them, leaving without protest.The door closed. Silence settled again. This time, it felt different.Cassie was left alone with Ashton. He didn’t move. Didn’t speak.Across the table, their gazes met and held. Neither of them looked away, but whatever had filled the room earlier—tension, power, control—had shifted into something heavier. Quieter.Personal.“I left Bay City… because I was scared for Malakai Group.”Her voice broke the silence, softer now, stripped of the control she had forced earlier.Ashton didn’t interrupt.“On the way here, I couldn’t stop thinking,” she continued, her breathing uneven. “About what would happen if everything collapsed… the people who depend on me. The farmers. Their families.” She swallowed hard, steadying herself, but her voice still trembled.“I kept imagining it—losing everything. Thousands of lives affected

    "If becoming the villain was the only way to make you walk away,” he said quietly, his voice heavy but resolute,“then I was willing to be the one you hated—if it meant you would finally leave the people who were slowly destroying you.”“I would do anything for your freedom, Cassidy,” he said softl

    "So, what’s your plan now… after hearing Ashton Pierce’s explanation?”Zandrie’s voice was careful, measured, as he sat across from her.He had only heard fragments of what happened earlier—the confrontation between Cassie and the two Knowles women. But by the time he stepped out, Cassie was alread

    Cassie fell silent, her mind going completely blank.She had never expected this—never imagined that Zandrie, of all people, would confess something like this to her. The man who was always teasing, always light, always easy to be around… was now sitting across from her with an expression so seriou

    "This can’t be…” Rima Knowles whispered, shaking her head as her eyes remained fixed on the documents trembling in her hands.“You can’t do this to us, CEO Pierce,” Red Knowles muttered, his fists clenched tightly over the folder he had just finished reading.“Well, I have nothing to do with the co
