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.

    Ginny's Pov My eyes darted toward the two other maids standing frozen behind the trembling girl.“You two…” I snapped, pointing at them, “Grab her. Now!”They didn’t move.“Now!” I shouted again, the pitch of my voice spiking, “Or I swear, if either of you lets her go, you’ll both be jobless by morning. Do you hear me?! You’ll regret it. I promise you that.”The girls hesitated, just for a second, but the fear in their eyes was enough. They moved.“No! No, please!” The maid screamed, trying to twist away, but the two housemaids seized her arms and pinned her down to her knees, holding her in place.“Let me go! I didn’t do anything!” She cried, thrashing wildly, “Kevin, please! You know me! I’ve worked here for five years! I would never hurt your mother!”Kevin stood frozen, eyes darting between the struggling girl and me.“Don’t listen to her!” I shouted again, pointing like she was some wild animal, “She’s putting on a show! That’s what these people do! She’s lying, Kevin! She knows

    Ginny's Pov “Mom! Ginny, why is my mother not waking up! What the fuck did you do to her?!” He yelled at me then turned back to his mother, “No… no, no, no, Mom?” He whispered, his voice breaking as he reached out with shaking hands. He pressed two fingers beneath her nose, just like I had done moments ago. His hand hovered over her chest. His fingers jerked away like the very lack of life had burned him, and then, slowly, he looked up. His face was pale, hollow, like every piece of blood had been drained from his body. He stared down at his mother, the blood trailing from the back of her skull seeping into the stone beneath her. His lips trembled.Then he staggered back, crawling clumsily away from her body like it had suddenly become something monstrous.“She’s…” He whispered, “She’s really… dead.”My heart pounded so loudly I thought it would burst through my chest. I took a step back, then another. My instincts screamed at me to run. I didn’t care where, I just needed to get out

    Ginny's Pov “Ah!” I stumbled back, falling to the ground with a thud, my hands were trembling, “D… Dead? She's really…” I moved forward a bit, my hands reaching out as I placed a finger under her nose. There wasn't any puff of air, none at all. “Ah… What… What should I do?” I muttered under my breath, “What should I do?” My eyes darted around and zeroed in on one person who was holding a phone, tears dripping down her eyes. I stood up from the ground and lunged towards her, she was the servant who came to inform me of Mrs Henderson’s arrival. I help her hands, making her drop the phone on the ground out of shock. “What the hell are you trying to do?!” I yelled at her. “I… I was trying… To call the police.” She responded, her eyes going from the dead Mrs Henderson and back to me. “Are you stupid?! Do you want me to go to jail?! If they found out that I was the one who pushed Mrs Henderson, what the hell do you think they'll do to me?!” I shoved her shoulders, making her stumble. T

    Ginny's Pov “You’ll regret this, Ginny.” She spat, slowly rising to her feet, she was humiliated and her entire body was shaking violently, “One day, you’ll fall, and no one will be there to help you.”I smirked.“Coming from you, a person who shouldn't even be present on the face of this earth.” I said coldly, “You and your failure of a son should’ve stayed in the gutter where you belong. What a joke!” I spat on the ground and scowled, then I turned around to walk away. But the second I turned my back to head inside, I heard a growl of rage come from her and suddenly…“You ungrateful, rotten whore!” Mrs. Henderson’s voice exploded behind me, venom lacing every syllable, “You think you're better than us now, don’t you? Just because you open your legs to anyone who has power?! Everyone knows how you slept your way up! You filthy, two-faced, heartless slut!”I froze. My fingers curled slowly into fists as the air went silent, the kind of silence that comes before a storm. I turned on m

    Ginny's Pov “What?” Mrs Henderson gaped at me like she had seen a meteor suddenly fall down from space and create a black hole in front of her. “Are you hard of hearing?” I questioned again, this time, leaning forward a bit, “I told you times without number not to bother me again, why don't you listen, Mrs Henderson? Why do you think that I would be willing to help your stupid little family? Do you think I'm as nice as Rhea? You were able to deceive Rhea into giving you that house and now that she has taken the house back, you're trying to latch onto someone whom you can never dream of reaching? Just how shameless can you get?” I said slowly, staring at Mrs Henderson in disgust. Now that I can see her clearly, she has changed. The Mrs Henderson of the past was plump and fair, she was soft and white too. Due to all the good food she had been eating as well as the money that Rhea had been spending on them, they had been living a good life. However, after they were evicted and Kevin l

    Ginny's Pov “Dad, do you think Rhea is planning something?” I asked, looking up at Howard who was also deep in thought. I was happy that Rhea was finally giving me the company without further ado but I thought that when we pressured her to give over the company, she would blow up and yell at us. After all, the first thing we did when we got to the hospital was to ask her for ownership of the company, and not how she was feeling. Not that I cared anyways, she would have been better off dead. If only Briovic had finished the job back then. Up until now, I hadn't heard from Briovic nor do I know who saved her. It was three days after she was brought to the hospital that we knew Rhea was in a coma. But thankfully, I don't think any of them knows that I was the one who asked Briovic to get rid of Rhea. If they did… Rhea would never give me the company for sure. And Alaric also would not let her. So I was safe for now. But for some reason, my mind wasn't settled at all, it felt like a
