The tension of the evening had subsided, and now it was just the two of them, alone in their private sanctuary.

Eve stood by the window, gazing out at the moonlit garden. The quiet of the night was soothing, but there was something heavier on her heart. She felt Alex’s presence behind her, and in the next moment, she was enveloped by his warm embrace.

“Alex…” she called out softly.

His warm breath tickled her ear as he spoke, his voice a low murmur. "What’s on your mind?"

She turned to face him, a visible worry on her radiant face. "Are you... okay? If you want someone to talk to, I'm listening."

She was referring to the unexpected revelation that had happened at dinner. Even though he wasn’t showing any emotions, she knew it was a big blow to him. Alex had spent years hating his father for having a mistress, without knowing that his mother had kept the same secret from him.

    Alex stepped out of the dining room, pressing his phone to his ear. John’s hurried voice came through immediately.“Bad news,” John said, his tone tense.Alex’s brows furrowed. “What happened?”“Garry escaped from our safe house. Someone rescued him, and we suspect it was his brother’s people.”A dangerous glint flashed in Alex’s deep obsidian eyes. If it was really Rupert who had orchestrated the rescue, he had moved fast this time.“But it is not confirmed yet if his brother’s assassins were involved,” John continued. “I have investigated them, and there is no indication they had contacted each other since Garry left the organization. We were still tracking his whereabouts using the chip we planted on him, and now our men are deployed to hunt them down. There should be news by tomorrow.”

    Just an hour after Alex's call, trouble struck on Rupert's side. One of their major deals with their biggest business partner had been leaked to the Cameron authorities, and their goods worth billions had been confiscated by the police. It was a devastating blow and a huge loss to their organization.Rupert smashed his phone against the wall in a fit of rage when he received a brief message from Alex. He had truly underestimated his ruthlessness and had almost forgotten that his powerful influence already stretched across both Cameron City and Finnland. He was not just a simple opponent. The circulating rumors about him were all real.Burning with irritation, he gulped down a glass of his expensive whiskey. The liquid scorched his throat, yet it was the only way he could vent his anger. The effect of the alcohol slowly eased the tension running through his veins. He badly wanted to bury Alex alive, if only he wasn't familiar to him.. He cursed himself repeatedly, feeling the weight o

    Mandy was dragged into the cold, dimly lit chamber deep within Rupert’s sanctuary. The scent of old, rusted iron filled her nostrils. Her wrists were bound tightly with thick metal chains, her arms stretched above her head, leaving her completely defenseless.For the first time in her life, she had never appeared so pitiful like this. She had always been proud, living a glorious life as the distinguished Mrs. Croft, yet she never expected that everything would be taken away from her in the blink of an eye. And now, the one person she thought she could turn to, the one she believed she could lean on, was the very person subjecting her to this cruel fate.She gritted her teeth in rage, her eyes turning bloodshot as vengeance consumed her thoughts. This was not the end for her. She would make sure of that. And when she returned, every single one of them would pay.That wretched Ellie and Eve… all of them.A few minutes later, the heavy door burst open, and Rupert stepped inside. His tow

    The heavy door slammed shut, leaving behind a silence that felt heavier than words. Alex was gone, but his presence still lingered in the air.Rupert remained motionless in his seat, his fingers resting idly on the smooth surface of the table. His expression was still but his mind was already working like a well-oiled machine, piecing together the night’s events, dissecting every word and every unspoken threat.A debt repaid.Rupert had always known that one day, his past or the people tied to it would come back, demanding something. That was the way of their world. No sin went unpaid. No betrayal was ever truly buried. He just had not expected Mandy to be the reason for tonight’s meeting.His fingers curled slightly, and his gaze darkened.Mandy..She had been reckless since the day he met her. Always chasing danger, always overstepping, thinking she was untouchable because she had his name behind her. But she was not untouchabl

    The Black Monarch was more than just a pub. It was a place where the elite came to indulge, escape, and hide behind the illusion of sophistication. Beneath its warm, sophisticated lighting, deals were struck over expensive whiskey, but tonight, it served a different purpose. A luxurious black Mercedes-Maybach pulled up outside the grand entrance. The doormen immediately straightened, recognizing the significance of the arrival. The polished exterior reflected the streetlights, a silent display of wealth and power. Rupert Langley stepped out first. At first glance, he didn’t fit the image of a man who ruled the underworld. There was no exaggerated arrogance, no overt ruthlessness. Instead, he carried an effortless grace...calm, composed and almost too still. As he entered, his sharp gaze swept across the lavish interior. He moved with confidence, his presence never demanding attention yet impossible to ignore.
