The car finally slowed as they approached the party venue. It was a massive glass building glowing with warm lights. Dozens of luxury cars lined the driveway, and the sound of faint music could be heard even from outside.

Arden looked through the window and his eyes widened. “It’s… beautiful,” he whispered.

As the car stopped, Corner stepped out and opened the door for them. Ryder got out first, then turned and offered his hand to Arden.

Arden hesitated, staring at the hand for a second and then, slowly, he placed his hand in Ryder’s.

Ryder’s grip was warm, firm but careful. He helped Arden out of the car, his eyes not leaving him even for a moment.

Flashes from cameras and murmurs from people nearby filled the air. Arden immediately grew self-conscious. He wasn’t used to this kind of attention.

Ryder noticed and leaned closer. “Don’t worry. Just walk with me." Arden nodded, his heart racing.

As they both entered, all attention was on them. Arden could feel every pair of

  • HEIR OF PAIN   Chapter 50: You Don't Even Know Me.

    “Why isn’t my husband awake? Huh? You said the surgery was successful — are you even sure about that? Because if it is, my husband would be awake!” Ryan half-yelled, his voice trembling with anger and exhaustion. He’d been holding it in for too long. The fear, the sleepless nights, the helpless waiting — it all came out in that one outburst. The doctor gulped nervously, adjusting his glasses. “Calm down, Mr. Ryan,” he said carefully. “The surgery was successful. If it wasn’t, Mr. Asher wouldn’t be breathing.” Ryan froze, his eyes narrowing. That glare made the doctor’s words stumble in his throat. He cleared his throat and tried again, choosing his words wisely. “Waking up solely depends on the patient. His body is recovering, but his consciousness... it takes time. You can help by talking to him. Sometimes hearing a loved one’s voice helps patients find their way back.” Ryan stared at him for a moment, then sighed heavily and leaned back in the chair. He raked his fingers t

  • HEIR OF PAIN   Chapter 49: Are You That Mesmerized?...

    “You initiated the kiss?!” Kyle practically shouted, his eyes bulging out. Arden’s eyes widened as he quickly reached out and covered Kyle’s mouth with his hand. “Keep your voice down!” he hissed, glancing around nervously. Several students had already turned their heads to look at them. The hallway was filled with chatter, but Kyle’s voice had somehow managed to rise above the noise. A few curious faces lingered for a moment before moving on. “Why did you yell like that?” Arden frowned, his brows furrowed in frustration. Kyle blinked a few times and finally clamped his mouth shut. He leaned forward across the cafeteria table, lowering his voice to a whisper. “Are you for real right now? You kissed him? Or you just— I don’t know—imagined it in your sleep or something?” Arden frowned deeper. “Why would I make this up anyway?” he asked, glaring at Kyle, who seemed way too entertained by this. Kyle leaned back, crossing his arms as he studied Arden’s face. “Okay, fair point. Yo

  • HEIR OF PAIN   Chapter 48: Different Cars...

    Arden stirred a little as a faint beam of sunlight crept through the curtains, brushing across his face. His eyelids fluttered open, heavy and dry. He squinted against the light, blinking slowly, trying to gather his thoughts. The first thing he saw made his heart stop. Right before him, inches away, sleeping peacefully… was Ryder. For a second, Arden froze. His eyes widened as confusion settled in. Wait… what? His mind raced. Am I dreaming? Did I—did we—? He blinked again, rapidly this time, hoping that Ryder’s face would vanish and he’d wake up properly in his own bed. But it didn’t. Ryder was right there. Real. Breathing. And dangerously close. Arden’s breath hitched when he realized something else—Ryder wasn’t just beside him. He was holding him. Ryder’s arm was draped firmly around Arden’s waist, his body pressed lightly against his back. Their legs were tangled under the blanket, and Arden could feel the steady rhythm of Ryder’s heartbeat against his shoulder. For a br

  • HEIR OF PAIN   Chapter 47: Drunken Kiss...

    Ryder Black walked back into the hall, cutting through the crowd with quiet confidence. His meeting had lasted longer than expected, and as he adjusted his cuffs, he scanned the crowd, expecting to find Arden sitting quietly where he had left him. But the sight that met his eyes stopped him cold. There, right at the center of the room, on top of a polished glass table,was Arden. The boy was dancing. Not just swaying politely, but actually dancing—arms flailing, laughter spilling out of him, his cheeks flushed pink, and a glass of whiskey glinting dangerously in his hand. Four young men surrounded him, hyping him up, moving to the beat with grins that were far too suggestive for Ryder’s liking. For a moment, Ryder thought he was imagining things. “What the hell…” Ryder muttered, his jaw tightening. When one of the men suddenly placed a hand around Arden’s waist, Ryder’s patience snapped. His long strides ate up the distance between them, and before the man could even blink,

  • HEIR OF PAIN   Chapter 45: Be My Date...

    It was the weekend, and the whole Black Mansion felt quiet. Arden had just finished breakfast and, having nothing else to do, decided to spend his morning in the library. He pressed in the password as he pushed the door open and walked inside. His eyes scanned the rows of shelves stacked neatly with books. Arden sat down on the floor, leaning his back against the wall with a book in his hands. He looked serious, his eyes moving slowly over the lines as he read. The title of the book was The Principle of Rule of Law. Anyone who saw him would instantly know he was studying something related to law. His brow furrowed slightly as he underlined a sentence with his pencil. He liked learning, especially things about justice and fairness. Sometimes, he wondered if that made him boring. He smiled faintly to himself, lost in thought. Just then, a beep sound came from the door. The library door unlocked with a soft click, and before Arden could even lift his head properly, it opened.
