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

    Rhea's Pov For a second, the silence held. Calloway stared at me, his expression twisting, his lips curling into something ugly. Then, as if my words had snapped the last thread holding his sanity together, he lunged forward.The chains clattered, the iron bars screeched under the sudden impact, but they held. His face pressed close to the bars, spittle flying as he screamed, “YOU THINK YOU CAN DESTROY ME?!” His voice cracked, but the madness in it was undeniable. “I AM CALLOWAY! DO YOU HEAR ME? I BUILT EMPIRES WHILE YOU WERE STILL CRAWLING AT YOUR MOTHER’S FEET! PEOPLE LIKE ME DON’T ROT IN CELLS. WE OWN THE PEOPLE WHO BUILD THEM!”His words still echoed down the corridor, wild, unrestrained, it sounded like it came from the throat of a mad man. “I’M UNTOUCHABLE! DO YOU HEAR ME? UNTOUCHABLE!”The veins in his neck bulged, his face red and slick with sweat as he smashed himself against the bars like a man possessed. I didn’t flinch. To anyone else, his frenzy might have been terrif

    Rhea's Pov I gave Truce one last glance, his smirk lingering. Turning my back on him, I walked away without another word. My steps carried me back to Ava’s cell. She had been quiet the whole time, watching our exchange and when I reached her, she shifted closer to the bars, waiting.“Ava.” I said firmly, my tone softening, “No matter what anyone says, you can’t blame yourself for the deeds of other people. You didn’t make their choices. You didn’t build their empire. You’ve already sacrificed more than enough… And you deserve to be free of all this. If you truly want to punish yourself for what your family did, then you can do it by helping the family of those who lost their children, or maybe even reveal everything to the world so they'll know what happened. You don't have to punish yourself like this.”Her lips parted, trembling just a little, but then she smiled. A small, fragile smile, but genuine. I don't know why but her smile made it seem like she was going somewhere far and w

    Rhea's Pov “But…” I started, about to tell Ava that none of this was her fault. But someone beat me to talking. “She said she's happy with whatever results she gets so why are you still so forceful?!” A voice interrupted. It was Truce. “Did I ask for your opinion, Mr Truce? I was speaking to her, and not you.” I responded, my voice cold. “Haha… Hahaha.” Truce laughed, his eyes crinkling at the corners. If I didn't know how many things he had done, I would have thought he was just an old man who liked being around children. I mean, he looked the part. However, he wasn't. “So… You must be Rhea Thorne. I've heard so much about you, it's amazing to finally meet you.” Truce stated, crossing his arms. “It doesn't seem like you're scared even when you know that this case will most likely not end in your favour.” I left Ava's cell and walked to Truce's cell. His cell was much smaller than Ava's cell, and contrary to how I envisioned Truce, he looked carefree and at ease. “Scared? Why s

    Rhea's Pov The glass doors slid open with a faint hiss, and immediately, a group of uniformed officers stepped out as if they had been waiting. Their gazes flicked between me and Alaric, their expressions a mixture of respect and curiosity. “Mr. Vale, Miss Thorne.” One of them greeted formally, bowing his head slightly, “We’ve been expecting you.” “You can just call me Rhea, not Miss Thorne.” I instructed, my voice hard. “Okay, Miss Rhea.” The police men in front of us chorused. Alaric’s hand slid against the small of my back, guiding me forward with that subtle but commanding air he always carried, “Rhea wants to see Ava and Truce.” His voice left no room for argument. The officer hesitated only for a fraction of a second before nodding quickly, “Of course. Right this way.” The hallways smelled faintly of disinfectant and paper. My heart thudded louder with every step, not out of fear, but out of the sharp, simmering anticipation twisting in my chest. The officer led us to

    Rhea's Pov Fiona froze, her lips parting, eyes widening just slightly as if she hadn’t expected that answer.I smirked faintly, shrugging. “I’m not interested in playing the role of your master, Fiona. Just… make sure you don’t waste the second chance you’ve been given. That’s all I ask.”For a moment, silence lingered. Then, slowly, Fiona’s shoulders loosened, her stiff posture softening. She bowed her head, not in defeat, but in something close to respect.“Understood.” She said quietly.Alaric’s hand pressed against my back, his thumb drawing lazy circles as he whispered just loud enough for me to hear, “That’s my Rhea. Always sharper, always braver than the rest of them.”I rolled my eyes lightly, but I couldn’t stop the tiny smile tugging at the corner of my lips. Alaric’s hand was still resting on my back, steady and grounding, when the sharp noise of his phone cut through the quiet. His brows lifted, and with one last squeeze against my shoulder, he reached into his pocket and

    Rhea's Pov Alaric chuckled at my words, his eyes glinting with amusement, “Babying you?” He repeated, lowering himself so that we were face-to-face. Before I could retort, his lips brushed against mine, soft but deliberate, a tease that sent a shiver through me. My eyes widened, but his gaze was calm, steady, like he’d just decided this was the most natural thing in the world.“Just indulge me okay?” He whispered against my lips, the corner of his mouth curving upward.I huffed, slapping his chest playfully but then I shrugged and climbed straight into his embrace. His arms tightened around me instantly, his warmth sinking into me.“Fine.” I murmured, resting my cheek against his chest, “I’ll indulge you.”For a moment, silence stretched between us, his heartbeat steady beneath my ear. But the words I had been holding back pressed against my tongue, clawing their way out.“I found out something today.” I said quietly, almost too calmly for what I was about to confess.Alaric hummed,
