They both chuckled as they looked at Arden. But Carlos was the first to notice the flicker of surprise that flashed across Arden’s eyes.

“You surprised?” Carlos asked with a smirk, stepping forward slowly.

Arden instinctively stepped back, keeping his distance. His pulse quickened, but he forced his expression to stay calm. “Why should I be?” he said, voice steady though his hands slightly trembled at his sides. “Birds of the same feather flock together.”

Carlos’s smirk widened as Derek let out a short laugh behind him.

“I wouldn’t say you’re wrong about that,” Carlos replied smoothly.

For a moment, there was silence as the air between them felt heavy, almost suffocating.

Carlos took another slow step closer, his shoes clicking softly against the ground. “You’ve gotten bold,” he said, his tone carrying a mix of amusement and warning. “I remember a time you couldn’t even look me in the eye just because you are shy.”

Arden frowned at what Carlos said. Carlos looked at Dere

  • HEIR OF PAIN   Chapter 97: Silicone Baby Bump

    Kyle stepped forward, sensing the tension in Arden’s voice. He looked at Arden’s phone, his eyes widening. “What the fuck?” he said loudly, taking the phone from Arden to be sure of what he was seeing. He replayed the CCTV footage, and the same scene appeared. Kyle lifted his head and looked at Arden. “It’s a fake pregnancy,” he said. “She’s wearing a silicone baby bump.” They rewound the footage again and watched Jewel carefully as she put on the silicone belly. ~~~~~~IRON FANG HQ~~~~~ “Won’t killing them start a war?” Ryan asked as he dropped his cigarette into the ashtray. Ryder took a slow drag, then exhaled calmly. “They tried to kill me first,” he said coldly. “It’s only logical that I respond. No one touches me and walks away.” Ryan nodded. “Whatever you decide to do, I’ve got your back,” he said, leaning into his chair. The room fell silent for a moment before Ryder stood up and headed toward the door. “The torture room?” Ryan asked. Ryder nodded withou

  • HEIR OF PAIN   Chapter 96: Aunt

    Arden stood up from the ground, ignoring the pain that shot through his body. His eyes were fixed on the burning car, and a scream tore from his throat. “Ryder!!” he shouted, taking a step toward the flames. “Ryder!!” Someone grabbed his arms, holding him back. Arden twisted and struggled, panic and fear taking over. “Let go of me!! I want to save him! Ryder is in there! Save him!” he yelled, his voice cracking. The heat from the fire was unbearable, but Arden ignored it. He used his elbow to push the person holding him. “Arden!! Stop struggling. I’m alive. It’s me!” a familiar voice yelled from behind him. Arden froze. He turned slowly. His eyes widened. Ryder was there, holding him. Alive. “Ry… Ryder?” Arden whispered, his voice trembling. He touched Ryder’s face, searching for proof that he was real. Then his gaze flicked back to the burned car, smoke rising in thick black clouds. “I thought… I thought I lost you,” Arden sobbed, his knees almost giving out. He threw

    As Arden walked into the building, he headed straight for the reception desk. The place was quiet but busy, with staff moving around and phones ringing softly in the background. “Good afternoon, sir. How may I help you?” the receptionist asked politely. “Is Ryder in his office?” Arden asked. The receptionist paused. She looked at Arden again, slightly surprised by how casually he had said her boss’s name, without any title or formality. “Yes, he is,” she replied carefully. “Do you have an appointment with him?” Arden shook his head. “I don’t need an appointment with him.” With that, he turned and took a step forward, intending to walk past the desk. The receptionist quickly stood up and stepped in front of him. “Sir, you can’t go in,” she said firmly. “Without an appointment, you’re not allowed to see him.” Arden sighed. He felt a little embarrassed as he noticed a few staff members turning their heads to watch. The receptionist had raised her voice slightly, and it

  • HEIR OF PAIN   Chapter 94: Dig Deeper

    Arden and Kyle had entered the campus cafeteria a few minutes ago. The place was crowded, filled with voices, laughter, and the clatter of plates, but none of it reached Arden. He sat across from Kyle, staring down at the tray in front of him. The food remained untouched. He picked at it slowly, pushing rice from one side of the plate to the other, then stopping altogether. His shoulders were tense and his face drawn tight. Anyone who knew him well could tell something was wrong. Kyle noticed almost immediately. He watched Arden for a moment before speaking. “You should stop worrying, Arden.” Arden let out a slow sigh and dropped the spoon onto the plate. “I should be worried, Kyle,” he said quietly. “Ryder has Derek with him.” Kyle raised an eyebrow. “So?” he scoffed. “Don’t tell me you’re feeling sorry for Derek after everything he did to you.” Arden shook his head sharply. “No,” he said, irritation slipping into his voice. “You don’t get it.” Kyle leaned forward. “T

    ~~~~~Later In The Evening ~~~~~~ Ryder stretched out his hand and turned off the lampstand. Darkness filled the room almost immediately. He shifted closer and pulled Arden into his arms, fitting him against his chest and then, he kissed Arden’s forehead lightly. “Good night,” Ryder muttered. “Good night,” Arden replied. Ryder’s breathing slowly evened out, but Arden remained wide awake. His eyes stayed open, fixed on nothing. Kyle’s words replayed in his head again and again. The more he thought about it, the more it began to make sense. If Kyle was right… then did that mean his presence was the reason Ryder and Kellan no longer spoke like before? Arden let out another sigh. He tried to stay still, but his thoughts were too loud. Another sigh escaped him. Then another. “What is bothering you?” Ryder’s voice came softly in the dark. Arden stiffened slightly. “You’re awake?” he asked, surprised. “How can I sleep when you keep sighing?” Ryder said calmly. “You know you

  • HEIR OF PAIN   Chapter 92: Be Careful...

    Arden couldn’t stop smiling as he and Kyle walked across the campus grounds toward the faculty building. “So?” Kyle asked, lifting an eyebrow. He nudged Arden lightly with his shoulder. “How did it go?” “It worked,” Arden said, grinning from ear to ear. Kyle clicked his tongue in satisfaction. “Perfect. I already connected the camera to your phone. You should start seeing everything soon. Every move she makes. Every word she says. Who knows, you might find out something interesting.” Arden nodded, still smiling. The weight he had been carrying on his shoulders felt lighter. Things were moving forward now. He finally had control. They entered the faculty building and went straight to their lecture hall. ~~~~~EVENING~~~~~ The hours passed quickly, and before they knew it, the sun had dipped lower. Students poured out of the building when classes ended, chatting loudly and stretching their stiff limbs. Arden and Kyle walked out together, backpacks slung over their shoul
