Alaric's POV

“Watch your mouth, Alaric.” Richard warned, his eyes blazing.

“Father, this is the last time I will warn you.” I retorted, walking closer to him and leaning downwards, I whispered to him, “From now on, think of us as rivals, as that company that you do desperately want to yourself, will never be yours. Mark my words, Richard Thorne, your greediness will be your downfall, and I'll make sure of that.”

In my past life, I was able to take the company from him, although there were a lot of sacrifices on the way, but this time, none of that would happen.

Stepping backwards, I continued, “Grandfather said he wanted to see mom and I, so I'll be taking her along with me. You don't need to ask the servants to prepare dinner, we'll be staying over at Grandfather’s.” I informed him as I walked into my room, shutting the door with a bang. A few seconds after, I could hear the shattering of plates.

“Woah, I could literally feel the electricity buzzing around back there.” Natha

    Chapter 75Alaric's Pov Marcus frowned but didn’t speak.“I need you to do this for me.” I continued, “Not because she’s my fiancée. But because she’s mine. And I’ll be damned before I let any of my enemies lay a finger on her while I’m too busy fighting ghosts and power games.”His jaw clenched, “You don’t trust anyone else for this?”“No one else is good enough.” I said, “You’re the best I’ve got, Marcus. And if anyone can keep her safe, it’s you.”He looked down, hands balled into fists at his sides, “I’ve bled with you, Master Alaric. Buried bodies with you. Lied, fought, and survived beside you. Leaving you feels very wrong.”“I know.” I said quietly, “But this is how you protect me now. Not with bullets or fists. With vigilance. With silence.”Another long pause. Then finally, he exhaled, sharp and resigned.“When do I start?”A tight smile curled my lips, “Immediately.”“I’ll need her schedule.”“You’ll have it within the hour. I’ve arranged a rotation of decoys, but you’re to

    Chapter 74 Alaric's Pov “Release him?” Nathan repeated, “Alaric, I don't know what you're trying to do but releasing that guy would be…” “Exactly. You don't know my plan and right now, since we haven't been able to find out who the mole is, it's better for only one person to know what the plan is, which is me. I'll keep whatever I'm thinking to myself for now so you just have to listen to what I say. Release that guy, he'll reel in the mastermind on his own without us moving a finger.” I explained to Nathan who although he still looked very confused, he didn't argue with me and just nodded his head. “Then after we release him, what do we do? Keep an eye on him?” “No. Leave him be. I'll deal with that guy myself. Though I have a job that only you can help me with.” I handed Nathan a small white padded letter which he opened. Once he did, his eyes widened with shock and he raised his head up to stare at me, silently asking if what he read was true. “Yes. The last place

    Chapter 73 Alaric's Pov Marcus had come from a long line of gamblers. His great grandfather was a gambler, his grandfather was a gambler, his father was a gambler, his mother and grandmother were also gamblers so it's no wonder that Marcus fell into gambling as well. Due to his addiction, he had gambled away his family house,.his furniture and even himself. I had found him years ago while he was in a cage, treated like livestock and meant to fight like a wolf under people's scrutiny and entertainment. The owner of the arena was someone I was chasing after without my father's knowledge so I needed someone who knew insider information and had nothing left to lose. Marcus was perfect.I still remember the first time I saw him, caged, shirtless, bloody knuckles and bruises blooming across his chest like badges of survival. There was no fight left in his eyes then, just a hollow stare. But I saw something in him. Something no one else cared to notice.Potential.I bought his freedom wit

    Chapter 72 Alaric's Pov It was dark. Really dark. I could barely see a thing. I walked and walked and walked until I finally saw a light. But running towards the light proved to be futile because no matter what I did, the harder I tried to run towards it, the further it moved away from me. At the end of it, it had disappeared and I was completely engulfed in darkness. I stood still, my body trembling as I tried to figure out what was happening and where I was when someone suddenly passed me, their scent filling up my nose and taking control of all my senses. Without thinking, I reached out and held whatever bypassed me even though I couldn't see it and the scene instantly changed. I was now on a road rather than the absolute darkness I was in, I recognised the road. It was where Rhea had always passed whenever she was rushing to work. My company was right on that road, I glanced up and sure enough, where I had stood, watching her was there. I smiled, “Well, liking her did bring me

    Chapter 71 Rhea's Pov I stared at the call for a while then picked up and didn't say anything. But I didn't have to wait long because it seemed like Kevin was desperate. “This… Is this the agent of SilverBridge? Mrs Davis?” I almost dropped the phone in shock. Mrs Davis?? Who was Mrs Davis?! Wait… SilverBridge? Wasn't that… I checked the phone and number he was calling me on and almost chuckled. How could I have forgotten? I had bought a new phone and SIM card and this was the number Ginny had stolen from my phone weeks ago. I had wanted her or Kevin to call the number if they started hearing of SilverBridge but I didn't expect it to work. I was already beginning to think of something else that would make them invest and they wouldn't have to link it over to me. “Yes? This is Mrs Davis.” I deepened my voice, “Who am I speaking to?” “This is… Um… Kevin Henford. I heard you were an agent of SilverBridge Stocks. I would like to know more about your services. My girlfriend told me y

    Chapter 70 Rhea's Pov “You're not leaving here until you give us an explanation!” Kevin's mother held me by the arm, almost dragging me off my wheelchair. I narrowed my eyes at her and slapped her hands away. “How… How dare you?!” She held her palms and stared at me in shock. I don't know why she still could not wrap her head around the fact that I didn't want anything to do with them anymore. Did she think I was acting like this to get Kevin's attention or something? “What kind of explanation do you need, Mrs Henford? An explanation on why I'm asking people to take away the furniture in MY house? Don't you think that's a crazy take from your side?” I crossed my arms, staring squarely at her. “But… You… We have been staying here for a long time! How could you just…” “Ah, yes. You've been occupying the house that I bought under my name because your son managed to make me think that if I allowed you all to stay here, he would somehow like me and in the end, we would live happily e
