The air buzzed with a thick mixture of excitement, envy, and satisfaction as Aaron settled back into his seat. The final number had been called—seventy million dollars. And the winning paddle had been his.

A hush had briefly fallen over the crowd after the gavel slammed down, followed by a wave of murmurs and scattered applause. It wasn’t just a win—it was a statement. After the fierce head-to-head bidding war with Lucas, Aaron could finally exhale. This wasn’t about the car. It never had been. It was about pride, legacy, and drawing a clear line in the sand.

He didn’t even glance at Lucas. He didn’t need to.

Instead, his gaze drifted to the sleek car on display, bathed in soft golden lighting. The body of the car shimmered under the chandeliers—smooth, predatory, almost alive. It was a rare piece of engineering brilliance. Still, seventy million was a ridiculous amount to spend. He wasn’t blind to that.

A quiet chuckle escaped his Lips. “Maybe next time,” he murmured to himself, “you

    Raina arrived at the office building around six in the evening, an hour that felt strange even to her.She wasn't here to work, she was here to end it.She had already made up her mind.She pushed through the glass doors with an odd weight pressing down on her chest. Her decision had already been made.She wasn't going to take the job, not if it meant allowing Kai back into her life.When she stepped into the expansive workspace, she froze.Kai was there.He stood by the tall windows, his back turned, hands tucked into his pockets. The city skyline framed him like a dark silhouette, his posture radiating control, power, and impatience.She add expecting to meet the boss, the man she met yesterday, but it was Kai that was here himself.He turned at the sound of her heels. His eyes locked onto her, sharp and expectant.“You’re late,” he said flatly, his voice cutting through the silence. “But you came. That’s what matters.”Raina’s hands tightened around the strap of her bag. She exhale

    Aaron sat alone in one of the dimly lit room of the Kingston estate, the curtains drawn, his hands steepled beneath his chin.He as well as the rest of the family remained at the estate, atleast until all the noise around Mr. Kingston dies down.For Aaron, his thoughts circled endlessly, around Raina, and never landing on an answer.Her face kept flashing in his mind over and over again, like a loop.He didn’t know what to do anymore. Should he search for her, risk everything to find her? Or had too much already been broken? Maybe he was too late. Maybe chasing after her now would only rip open wounds that could never heal.But what Aaron feared the most, was finding out that she had already moved on from him. Finding out that she has already gone about her life like he never existed.That terrified him.The sound of the door creaking broke his spiral. His jaw tensed immediately. “If you’ve come here to—”But the words died on his tongue when Lucas stepped inside. His posture was calm

    Giovanni sat in the dimly lit study, the smoke from his half-burned cigar curling toward the ceiling slowly but surely. His fingers drummed against the polished mahogany desk, the steady tap of impatience echoing in the silence.He was out, Kingston was out! After all the work he put in, all the lies he whispered to very high and important people to make sure he was locked up… he was out, just because of his son's carelessness.Then the door creaked open. Giovanni knew who it was.His son.Marco lingered by the door, a bit hesitant, his face pale as though he had rehearsed this moment a thousand times but still didn’t know how to step into it.“Father…” Marco’s voice cracked. “I'm sorry. All this is my fault after all all, it was me, it was my voice on the recording confessing to my deed.”Giovanni’s hand froze mid-tap. His dark eyes sharpened like knives, pinning his son in place.For a moment, there was no sound but the faint hiss of the cigar. Then he surged up from his chair, his

    By the time they wheeled him out of the infirmary, Kingston had already forced himself upright.He wouldn’t be seen leaving prison broken or a shell of himself, not even in a chair.His bruises still burned from the attack earlier and his ribs protesting every breath he took, but his back was straight and his chin lifted. He moved out of the prison premises with that same elegance.The guards led him down the long, echoing corridor toward the main gates.The clang of each door behind him felt final, like chapters closing.Other inmates pressed against the bars as he passed, some sneering, others silent, but all of then were watching.He walked like a man who had never belonged there in the first place. Right then, Mr. Kingston could only think of ways he could make his attackers pay for what they did to him.The final gate of the prison groaned open, spilling daylight onto his battered frame.Waiting just beyond the fence stood his sons.At that moment, even if he wasn't going to let

    The metallic clang of the cafeteria doors echoed as inmates of the prison shuffled in line for food with their trays held in their hands.Mr. Kingston picked up his food from the cook, a young, blonde girl, who left him a smile, but he didn't return it.He took his food away, grey mashed potatoes, a slab of meatloaf that looked days old, and a cup of watery juice. He didn’t flinch; prison food had long stopped surprising him.After all, in his teenage days, he spent a full year in prison for possession of drug.He carried his tray with calm precision, his eyes sweeping over the crowded cafeteria. The air around reeked of sweat, disinfectant, and cheap grease.The moment he chose an empty table near the wall, a voice cut through the chatter.“Look who we got here.”He didn’t have to turn to know the tone and the mood of the person who called him. His tone was mocking and somewhat edged with menace.Bad sign…Still, he glanced up, his expression neutral. A tall, wiry man with tattoos cr

    The black Mercedes Benz slowed to a crawl as the massive gates of the Cingarette estate creaked open.Aaron sat in the back seat beside Lucas, his jaw tight, his gaze fixed on the sprawling villa beyond the iron bars.For him, every step closer to Giovanni Cingarette’s estate felt like they were walking willingly into the serpent’s den, but Aaron had long stopped flinching at danger.He wasn’t here for games… he was here for his father.And once he got his father out of jail, his next step getting back Raina, if that ship hadn't already sailed.Lucas, seated beside him, glanced over with a mixture of unease and steel in his eyes. “You sure about this?” he asked, his voice low and careful.Aaron’s fingers tapped against his knee, maybe trying to decide the answer to that question.“I don’t have the luxury of being unsure. This is the best way we can get Giovanni to free our father.And as for Giovanni, I know he has something uo his sleeves too, but he’s going to learn quickly that I’m
