Anthony's steps felt unbearably heavy as he pushed open the front door. His mind was still in complete turmoil after Kyle and Peter had thrown him out of the hospital without a second thought.But the moment he stepped into the living room, the sight before him brought him to a dead stop.Belle stood there, dragging a large black suitcase behind her. In front of her, Mrs. Watson clung tightly to her daughter's arm, tears streaming down her face."Belle, please... don't go," Mrs. Watson sobbed, her voice trembling uncontrollably. "I'll talk to your father.""There's nothing left to talk about, Mom," Belle replied, her voice as cold as ice. "Dad's made his decision... and I've made mine.""What's going on here?!" Anthony called out as he hurried toward them.Belle turned to him. Her eyes were filled with a disappointment so deep it almost hurt to look at."I'm leaving this house... right now.""You can't just leave, Belle! This is your home!" Anthony argued, stepping in front of the doo

Renee's expression was tense as she stepped through the hospital lobby's automatic doors. The sharp of her heels echoed across the polished floor. Her heart pounded unevenly.The bad news had just reached her: Nick had survived.Bastian's friend had pulled through after hours of surgery—surgery that Tobias had reportedly paid for himself."Damn it," Renee muttered under her breath as she walked down the hallway.If Nick woke up and started talking, she was finished. She needed to see his condition for herself. And if possible, find a way to silence him permanently.Renee's eyes settled on the door to the VIP recovery room."What the hell was that idiot Toby thinking, putting him in a VIP room?" Renee grumbled as she slowly pushed the door open.Inside, Nick lay motionless on the bed, a ventilator covering half his face. Standing on either side of him were Kyle and Peter, their arms folded across their chests.The two Blackfist members stared at Renee like wolves ready to tear into the

Bastian picked up the prison intercom receiver. His face was hard, his jaw locked tight. On the other side of the thick glass, Tobias sat calmly."I've only got ten minutes," Bastian said coldly. "Say what you came to say, then leave.""I brought you the appeal paperwork," Tobias replied without hesitation, nodding toward a blue folder on the table. "My legal team found procedural flaws in your arrest. Sign it, and I'll have you out of this hellhole within two weeks."Bastian glanced at the blue folder before letting out a mocking smile."I already told Belle. I'll never accept so much as a dime of help from Renee's family.""We're both adults, Bastian. Stop letting your pride get in the way," Tobias said, his voice growing sharper as his patience began to wear thin. "This is about survival.""I grew up on the streets. I know how to survive.""Do you?" Tobias countered. "Because your friend Nick couldn't."Bastian's eyes narrowed instantly. Every instinct in his body tensed."What do

Beep... beep... beep...The steady rhythm of the heart monitor broke the silence inside the ICU at Eastbourne General Hospital.Nick lay motionless on the hospital bed.A ventilator covered his mouth and nose. Thick bandages were wrapped around his head, and bruises covered nearly every inch of his body.Belle sat beside his bed, her trembling hands wrapped around Nick’s icy fingers.Tears streamed down her face, falling onto the back of her brother’s best friend’s hand.“I’m so sorry, Nick,” Belle sobbed, her voice breaking beneath the weight of her guilt. “God... how did it come to this?”The warehouse security guard had found him that morning. It felt like divine intervention because the guard rarely checked Warehouse Number Four, yet for some reason he noticed the door was slightly ajar.Thankfully, Nick was still breathing.But the doctor had said he was in a coma after suffering severe head trauma and internal bleeding.The news had shattered Belle.The ICU door opened.Belle qu

The sound of Nick's footsteps splashed softly through the rainwater puddles covering the old harbor. The phone in his pocket vibrated over and over again. With an irritated sigh, Nick stopped and looked down at the screen.Several messages had come in, along with missed calls from Peter and Kyle. Their messages were filled with worry, asking where he was.Nick replied to the latest one."Our witness doesn't want a crowd showing up. I'll meet him myself. Once everything's clear, I'll bring him back to the shop."He slipped the phone back into his pocket and continued walking.The witness said he was on the last boat to dock at the pier. That's where Nick was headed.When he stepped onto the deck, the place was eerily quiet. He moved cautiously before pushing open the unlocked cabin door.Inside was complete darkness."Hello?" Nick called.Nothing. The cabin was empty.At that exact moment, his phone vibrated again. Nick let out a breath and looked at the screen.It was another message

Belle had already made up her mind. She was going to tell her father about Renee's crimes. After dinner, she walked over to him."Dad, can we talk?"Mr. Watson looked up. "Sure. What's this about?""It's about—"Before Belle could finish, a knock echoed through the front door.She let out a quiet sigh and headed for the entrance. The moment she opened it, her eyes widened in surprise.Tobias stood on the doorstep. He hadn't mentioned he was coming."Hey, Belle. Is your dad home?" he asked.Belle frowned slightly. "Yeah. Do you need to talk to him?""I do. There's something important I need to discuss with him."Mr. Watson welcomed Tobias inside with obvious warmth. Even so, Belle could feel the tension settling over the living room like a heavy fog.Across from her, Tobias sat calmly."So, Tobias." Mr. Watson smiled. "This is a surprise. What brings you here tonight?""Am I interrupting anything, sir?""Not at all. You know you're always welcome here."Tobias returned the smile before

Belle glanced at Bastian. His jaw was clenched so tightly that the tendons in his neck stood out.Bastian said nothing. He remained standing there, beside the woman holding the chain to his freedom.And his silence hurt more than anything Renee had said.“Come on, Belle,” Anthony’s voice cut throug

Belle didn’t understand why Bastian said that. Her mind was in chaos, and the ache in her heart intensified. They weren’t supposed to have any kind of relationship, right? So why was Bastian so openly unwilling to let her go?“What’s wrong with you!” Belle shouted, unable to hold back her tears any

Going back to the gallery wasn’t such a good idea after all. Belle could feel Renee’s annoyed expression every time she looked her way. Even though Belle just stayed quiet in the corner with Anthony and the others, including Eve.Still, she felt bad about leaving early, so she decided to wait unti
