James finally pulled the sleek black car to a stop in front of the grand auction center. The sun reflected off the glass panels of the building, giving it a polished, high-society glow that immediately screamed wealth and exclusivity. He stepped out of the driver’s seat, adjusted his coat, and rounded the vehicle.

First, he opened Aaron’s door with a professional nod. Aaron stepped out smoothly, fixing his cufflinks and adjusting his red tie with a sharp flick of his wrist. His gaze swept across the elegant surroundings, taking in the light chatter of guests arriving, the luxury cars pulling in, and the faint hum of classical music playing from hidden speakers.

Next, James moved to the other side and opened the door for Raina.

Her red dress emerged before she did, the fabric spilling out of the car like liquid flame. It shimmered subtly under the sunlight, trailing behind her as she stepped down. Her heels touched the pavement with quiet grace, and for a brief moment, even the wind pa

  • Ex wife’s Revenge    Chapter 66

    The sleek black car rolled through the iron-wrought gates of Kingston Estate, its tires crunching over the graveled driveway that wound through rows of manicured hedges and centuries-old trees.The main house of the estate loomed ahead, it's presence towering, grand, cold, and intimidating as ever.A place that never quite felt like home for Aaron, even after all these years.For Raina, it was second time here. Hopefully, for her it goes better than the last visit did.Inside the vehicle, the tension was almost thicker than the air outside.Raina sat angled slightly toward Aaron, watching the stern set of his jaw, the way his fingers tightened around the steering wheel every time they rounded a bend."Aaron," she said softly, but firmly. "Don't go in there guns blazing. You already won the car at the auction, you've proven a point to your father, but don't let your anger mess things up with him."He didn’t look at her."Aaron," she tried again, placing a hand gently on his arm. "I kno

    The heavy buzz of the sliding metal door echoed down the corridor as Blade was ushered into the prison cafeteria.It was lunch hour at the facility, and the place was alive with low murmurs from other inmates, the clatter of trays, and the smell of overcooked stew and something vaguely sour.That was his life now..Blade walked in still with that his usual swagger, cuffs off now but there were guards still watching from a distance.He grabbed a tray, barely looking at the food as he moved through the line his sharp eyes scanning the tables.The moment he stepped into the seating area, the noise seemed to dip just slightly—not enough to draw attention from the guards, but enough for a seasoned man like him to feel the shift in atmosphere.He picked a spot at a corner table, back to the wall, instinctively. He didn’t touch the food yet.He just sat therewatching and maybe waiting.And then they came.Three inmates approached him.They looked older, harder, it's clear that they weren't n

    Morning sunlight streamed through the wide glass panes of the Kingston mansion, painting the dining room in soft golden hues. The air was quiet, too quiet, the kind of silence that didn’t soothe—but unsettled.Raina descended the grand staircase, her footsteps light against the marble floor. She wore a simple silk robe tied loosely at the waist, her hair swept into a lazy bun. Despite the chaos of the night before, her face held a calm expression—but it didn’t reach her eyes.She didn’t want it to show, but it did, even if it was just a little.She was still traumatized from yesterday's events and rightfully so.For a second, she saw her life flash right in front of her eyes.The scent of freshly cooked breakfast welcomed her the moment she stepped into the dining room.It was scrambled eggs, toasted bread, sweet pastries, and rich coffee.One of the older maids turned at her entrance, beaming warmly.“Good morning, ma’am,” the maid greeted as she quickly moved to pull out a chair for

    The rooftop bar was nearly empty, save for the soft hum of jazz bleeding from hidden speakers and the occasional clink of glass. The skyline of the vast city stretched in every direction, glimmering under the early evening haze.Jamie entered the bar, her coat strung tight around her as her eyes went searching for any familiar faces.There, she saw her… Jessica.Jamie slid into the booth with a certain energy she was quite used to now, than when he was Raine's assistant.She held her chin high, mouth firm, and eyes sharp.Her black blazer hugged her shoulders like armor, but inside, she was still unsure.Jessica sat across her, sipping a blood-red cocktail like it was a lover’s secret.Jessica didn’t stand to greet her. She didn’t smile either.Just raised her glass.“So you came,” Jessica said, her voice smooth and poisonous.“I was starting to think you didn't like me.”“I’m not here to make friends,” Jamie replied, crossing her legs. “I just want to know what you want.”Jessica lea

    The study was quiet, maybe too quiet for a man whose blood was still simmering with the heat of chaos.Aaron leaned back in his chair, one hand scrolling through the encrypted feed on his laptop and then, the other clenched into a tight fist.The footage from the auction streamed in sharp frames.He used his means to get access to camera angles the public never had access to.He saw all the faces from those at the auction, those he knew and those he didn't.Then he eyes landed on Lucas who was crouched to the end of the room.His expression in the feed was unreadable, of course it was.But Aaron could see through it. He could see a man with satisfaction in his eyes that his plan was working.A knock pulled him from the spiral of suspicion.He sat up straighter, his eyes flicking to the door. “Come in.”Raine stepped in slowly, still dressed in her ravishing gown that she wore earlier.Aaron just left his gaze on her for a moment longer before pulling away.“I just wanted to say... tha

    The Devil’s HourRaina’s heart wouldn’t slow down, even now, it was much worse than before as he walked timidly to rejoin the crowd.Her eyes were still wide and frantic, her body literally shaking, tears slipping down to her cheeks.Aaron, all battered and bruised up himself, gingerly returned to her.“I'm sorry.” he whispered to her, carefully wrapping his arms around her.Raine's heart still thundered behind her ribs, loud enough that she was sure the whole room could hear it. Her body was still curled slightly toward the purse, as if her instincts couldn’t believe the threat had passed, she was alive still.But it hadn’t passed not really. The danger hadn’t lessened.There was still the obvious danger that they were getting robbed.The air inside the auction hall was tense, volatile even. Everyone in the room felt it.Raina turned to Jessica, their eyes locking on each other for a moment, before Jessica shrugged her face away.It was just a hunch, but Raina couldn't help but feel
