“Card.” Jason flashed him a faint smile.

After both Jason and Mikayla were done signing everything and the payment was processed, Ross handed them a printed receipt with shaking hands.

Neither of them said another word to him. Jason took the slip, gave Mikayla a small nod, and turned to leave.

She followed quickly, the air in the hallway somehow lighter now, like the storm had passed.

By the time they stepped out of the office, Mikayla was visibly different. Her steps had more bounce. Her face, which had been tense for so long, was brightened with something rare: joy. It bloomed across her face like sunlight breaking through dark clouds.

She didn’t even try to hide it. Why would she?

“Thank you so much,” she breathed, her voice soft and full of awe. “Mr Wolfe, I don’t even know what to say. You didn’t have to do that, and, God, you really didn’t have to do that to Chris… ”

Jason smiled back, “You're welcome, and you can just call me Jason.” He said.

They walked back to Lady Norman’s

    Jason gave her a nod, “Yeah, sure.” He then took out his cell phone and began operating it, and Selene, assuming he was calling for a ride, spoke up. “You don't have to take a taxi,” she said with a warm smile. "My driver can drive us to the location and afterwards, he will drop you off wherever you need.”Just as the words left her mouth, another car glided silently to the curb right next to them. It was a black Phantom Series II Rolls-Royce, its imposing presence turning heads. Selene’s eyes widened in surprise as the rear door opened automatically upon Jason's press of a button.“Oh.”Jason smirked, glancing from the Rolls-Royce to Selene. "Thanks for the offer, but I came in my own car."Selene’s eyes widened slightly in surprise. her earlier assumption proved to be completely wrong. She thought Jason didn't have a car and was willing to offer him a ride. “I see you came in your own car,” she said, a new tone of intrigue in her voice.“I did,” Jason said, giving her a faint, easy

    The next day, Jason decided to pay a visit to the Caelthorn family mansion, and look for why the location was on the map. But first, he knew he needed Selene's help with that. Her family had just purchased the mansion, and so he couldn't just go on, as that would be trespassing.Who was he kidding? He was Lucan Vale, he could go inside and out of the place, do what he wanted to do and no one would detect him. However, he wasn't going to do that, he wanted to do it the legal way, because he wanted to know why Selene's family bought the property. Could the Voss family have bought it because they also knew about the obsidian dagger? Highly unlikely that they did and even if they did, it was not their business for them to be interested, but still he was curious. Wouldn't be the first time someone tried to insert themselves in what didn't belong to them. Like Elara Von Halen did.As for Duval? He was probably lying to Jason. He didn't even want to think about it.Seated in his brand new

    Jason’s interest was truly piqued with that piece of information from Duval.But that didn’t mean he was believing anything coming out of his mouth. People, especially the likes of Duval, had no problem lying to weaken their enemies. But, Jason was smarter than that. Still he still liked to listen to it, just in case it was true. Seeing that he had completely got Jason's attention, Duval smirked. “Seems like I've piqued your interest, Lucan,” he remarked. Then he took a whiff of his cigarette, inhaling the smoke deeply before blowing it out, and spoke, “I think the child they found was you, Lucan. And I think that your ‘master’ found you that night.”Jason didn't react to that immediately, his face remained a cold, impassive mask. But his mind was racing, sifting through the layers of Duval’s words. What Duval had just said wasn’t something Jason could simply ignore. He had just implied that Jason was a member of the disappeared Caelthorn family, possibly the only one.It has to be

    Not long after leaving the event, the two vehicles arrived at their destination. Jason followed Cole Vargas into a sprawling penthouse office. As expected, it was a place of opulence. The city's lights shined below, a silent audience to the power that resided here. Jason’s eyes immediately went to the man standing by the massive window.The first thing he felt was surprise, because the last time he had seen Duval Williams, he was a fat man, drowning in expensive suits that couldn't hide his bulk. But the man who turned from the window was slimmed down and sharp, his dark suit tailored to perfection, his movements precise and controlled. He was a new man, but the cold glint in his eyes was exactly the same.Jason was able to recognize him quickly, because he was well known in the underground world. And while Jason was not from there, he was usually tasked by the eclipse syndicate to work with mob bosses. "Mr. Williams, I've brought him," Cole Vargas announced to his boss, his voic

    The room had already fallen into an eerie silence the moment they saw Cole Vargas walk in.Everyone knew who he was. His name alone brought fear to the people, and commanded the utmost respect. Lady Smith's heart skipped a beat. She cleared her throat carefully. "Mr. Cole, what brings you here?" Her voice was steady, but there was an underlying worry that she tried to hide. Fear for the worst. “Excuse me for coming uninvited,” Cole said, his voice low and deliberate, each word measured, “but I have a matter that requires my attention here.”He scanned the room slowly, letting his presence settle over everyone. There was no malice in his tone only quiet authority.Why would he be here? As far as she knew the Smith family was not on that level for someone like Cole Vargas to bother coming to their events, not even with the backing of sterling enterprises. Cole Vargas wasn't known for socializing with anyone, not even the elites, because he was above them. He would only pay visits lik

    "Yes I did." Those two words hit like thunder. The entire room gasped. It was the kind of sound that makes your skin crawl—hundreds of people suddenly understanding they'd made a terrible mistake. The Smith family looked like they'd seen a ghost. Lady Smith swayed on her feet. Just moments ago, she'd been trying to destroy Jason in front of everyone. She'd wanted to prove he was nothing—a fake, a nobody. Instead, with just two words, he'd blown her world apart. Seraphina's head spun. She actually stumbled backward, catching herself on a chair. All those times she'd sneered at him, called him pathetic, treated him like dirt under her shoe. The man she'd been so cruel to? He was the one keeping her family afloat. Charlie's punching hand wouldn't stop shaking. How many times had he called Jason a loser? A waste of space? A deadbeat who didn't deserve to breathe the same air? And now he was staring at the man who'd been secretly saving his family. The silence stretched like a rubbe
