It all happened twenty-nine years ago.At that time, the Blackwood Empire was already a formidable force, its roots running deep throughout the country. Rose Blackwood was still alive then, and Tae Blackwood was not yet the heartless monster he would later become. Whenever anger or frustration threatened to consume him, his beautiful wife possessed the soft magic to calm him down.It was no secret that Rose was the absolute heart and soul of her husband. Their devotion to one another was a wonder for all to witness—a striking balance of fire and ice. They seemed to possess the perfect life: unimaginable wealth, absolute power, and healthy children to carry on the family legacy.But every piece of that perfection shattered the day Rose fell ill.Everyone had heard about Rose’s illness and how suddenly she had fallen sick. Rumours flew left and right across the country, but no one really knew that her sickness had all started because of one person.Sarah Blackwood.Sarah was a very beau
Damien was left standing alone as his grandfather stormed out. Walking over to the window, he watched as the convoy pulled out of his compound. The moment the last black sedan disappeared through the gates, he let out a heavy sigh, sank back into his chair, and closed his eyes.A wave of suffocating emotions washed over him—anger, pain, and regret. Tae's words had reopened old wounds, dragging up the sharp regret that he hadn't been able to save his mother or at least protect her dignity on that terrible night.He snapped his eyes open. It wasn't the time to sit around sulking. Reaching for his phone on the table, he dialed a number.The line connected almost instantly. "Come in now," Damien ordered.A few minutes later, a tall, imposing man stepped into the manor. Knowing exactly where to find his employer, he walked straight into the living room. "Boss, you called for me?"Damien nodded coldly. "Yes, I did.".Why did you let him in? I thought I had maximum security—that no one could
Tae wasn't ready to yield. "And so? I built you into the powerful man you are today through those harsh lessons, so why are you complaining now?"Damien snorted. Even though a sharp pain pierced his chest at his grandfather's complete lack of remorse, he realized he was the fool for ever expecting better from Tae Blackwood. The man was purely selfish and heartless. Deciding he had spent enough time playing nice, Damien shifted tactics."Let's drop the pointless talk," Damien said, a devious smile spreading across his face. "I just wonder how the media would react if they found out your dear son, Richard, was smuggling drugs through one of his companies. The headlines would be crazy."Tae's face went pale. Refusing to believe it, he pointed a trembling finger at Damien. "That's a lie! Richard wouldn't dare."Damien's grin only widened. "Now, let's not act like children...""I'm sure by now you know what your son is capable of. He is—" Damien stopped himself mid-sentence, letting out a
Damien's jaw clenched as he watched the sick smile spread across Tae's face. He looked at his grandfather, his gaze filled with disgust and growing hatred. "You talk about someone's life like it's nothing. Are you really that heartless?"Tae snorted. "Ah, are you giving me a lecture about being heartless?" He chuckled dryly. "You, Damien? You're the one who destroyed an entire family just a few weeks ago—which is exactly what I taught you to do. But this man has made you weak. I can see it. He needs to go, and if you won't get rid of him, I'd be glad to help you." A cruel grin lit up his face."Okay. Do whatever you want to him," Damien said calmly. He leaned back into the chair, crossing his legs and resting one hand on the armrest.Tae blinked, utterly bewildered. "Okay? You're telling me to kill your lover?"He was stunned. He had witnessed firsthand at the party just how far Damien had gone for that man. What was wrong with him now—or was the guy really just a temporary fling?Dam
A grin appeared on Tae's face as he walked deeper into the manor, ignoring Damien's words. He looked around the house, taking in his surroundings.Meanwhile, the slight smirk on Damien's face disappeared. The moment he saw his grandfather looking around, he knew the old man wouldn't visit for no reason—especially after what happened a few weeks ago.Damien broke the silence. "What do you want?"Tae stopped looking around and froze at Damien's question before turning to face him. "What do you mean, 'what do I want'?" he said with a grin. "Can't I come see the grandson I missed so much? Or do you not want me here? Should I leave?" he asked tauntingly.Damien was a straightforward man, so he didn't hesitate to look his grandfather in the eye. "Yes. And take your bodyguards with you." He glanced toward the entrance, where he could see a bodyguard stationed outside the living room.Tae dramatically clutched his chest. "Ah, how cruel. My grandson doesn't want me here."Damien rolled his eye
Author's Note:Took a quick break for a week to unwind, dear lovely readers, please proceed to the previous chapter which has been edited to understand this chapter, happy reading ☺️ The scent of leather and stale air conditioning filled the car as Tae watched Elijah’s vehicle disappear down the road. Elijah hadn't so much as glanced in his direction, yet Tae’s eyes had remained glued to the rear window, catching the faint silhouette of a man sitting in the back seat.It has to be Damien, Tae thought, his jaw tightening. Elijah rarely drove anyone else around, but the nagging doubt in his gut refused to settle. If Damien was with Elijah, then going to his grandson's place was a fool's errand—he already knew his grandson wasn't there. Still, the urge to be absolutely certain burned away his usual restraint."Drive. I want to see something," Tae ordered, his voice cold and even."Yes, sir," the driver replied, shifting into gear and smoothly pulling out onto the road.Tae leaned back,
A small smile automatically appeared on Ethan’s face as he relaxed, the heavy thoughts of Damien and the photo finally fading into the back of his mind. He was surprised to see Kai standing there. "Oh, you're here?"Kai nodded. "Yes. I was exercising and needed to... release some stress, you know?
Ethan woke up late, his head groggy from the late-night gaming session Leo had forced him into. Leo reminded him so much of his younger brother, Norman; it had been a long time since Ethan had felt so... human.He rushed to freshen up and was driven to school. As he stepped out of the car, a crowd
Ethan spent the entire day drifting in and out of sleep. The silence of the mansion was a jarring luxury compared to the screaming halls of Metropolis Prison. He was grateful to Damien ,he knew Damien had saved him but the mystery of Damien’s agenda loomed over him like a shadow, he may be naive bu
Ethan was awake the next morning as Anna knocked on the door. He quickly sat up and Anna entered. She greeted him good morning and told him to come downstairs for breakfast; she added that if he couldn't walk, she'd be glad to assist him, but he politely declined, saying he felt better that Dr. Ric
