Chapter 30: Wrath of the King
Last Updated:
2026-01-24 19:39:02The villa gates closed with a heavy thud, sealing Serenity and the children inside the fortress-like estate.
Jackson was waiting at the door. As soon as the car stopped, he ripped the door open.
"Serenity!"
He pulled her out of the car and crushed her into his arms. His body was trembling violently—not from fear, but from the adrenaline of terror. He had almost lost them.
"I'm okay," Serenity whispered, burying her face in his chest. "We are okay. The car saved us."
Jackson checked the kids. Alex looked pale but brave; Mia was holding her teddy bear tightly.
"Luke," Jackson turned to his assistant without letting go of Serenity. His voice was a low growl, barely human. "Take my family inside. Lock the perimeter. No one enters or leaves until I return."
"Yes, Boss."
"Where are you going?" Serenity grabbed Jackson’s sleeve. She saw the look in his eyes—it was the eyes of a predator sensing blood.
"To finish this," Jackson kissed her forehead. It was a cold, hard kiss. "Take a bath. Have dinner. By the time you wake up tomorrow, the monster will be gone."
He turned and walked towards his own car. He didn't take the Maybach. He took the black sports car—the one he drove when he wanted to be fast and lethal.
An hour later. An abandoned shipyard at the Brooklyn docks.
Rain had started to pour, washing the grimy streets of New York.
Inside a dimly lit warehouse, Mason Sterling was pacing nervously. His "ambush" had failed. The hired thugs stopped answering their phones.
"Useless idiots!" Mason kicked a rusted barrel. "I need a passport. I need to leave the country tonight."
"Going somewhere, brother?"
A voice echoed through the empty warehouse.
Mason froze. He turned around slowly.
Jackson emerged from the shadows. He was alone. He wasn't wearing a suit jacket, just a white shirt with sleeves rolled up, revealing thick forearms. He held a baseball bat in his hand—dragging it slowly across the concrete floor.
Scrape... Scrape...
The sound was terrifying.
"Jackson..." Mason backed away, his hands shaking. "Listen... it was a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to hurt them. I just wanted to scare her..."
"Scare her?" Jackson stopped ten feet away.
"You sent four armed men to attack a car with my five-year-old children inside," Jackson said calmly. Too calmly. "My daughter was crying, Mason."
"I... I..." Mason stammered, looking for an exit.
But from the shadows behind Mason, four of Jackson’s bodyguards stepped out, blocking the doors.
Mason was trapped.
"We are family, Jackson!" Mason screamed, his face pale. "You can't hurt me! Grandpa wouldn't want this!"
"Grandpa is dead. And you," Jackson swung the bat and smashed it against a wooden pillar next to Mason's head.
CRACK!
Wood splinters flew everywhere. Mason fell to the ground, sobbing.
"You ceased to be my family the moment you targeted my wife," Jackson threw the bat away. He didn't need a weapon. His bare hands were enough.
He walked over, grabbed Mason by the collar, and slammed him against the wall.
"Please... don't kill me..." Mason begged.
"Death is too easy for you," Jackson whispered, his eyes dark pits of void.
"You like power? You like money?" Jackson sneered. "I stripped you of everything. Your Swiss accounts are frozen. Your shares have been seized. Your passport is revoked."
"W-What are you going to do?"
Jackson signaled to his bodyguards. "Take him."
"Where?" Mason shrieked as two huge men dragged him away.
"To the diamond mines in Sierra Leone," Jackson adjusted his cuffs, watching his brother being dragged into a van. "You wanted my diamonds so bad? Go dig for them."
"You will work there for the rest of your life," Jackson said coldly. "No phone. No internet. Just mud and darkness. Enjoy your new kingdom, brother."
"Jackson! NO! JACKSON!"
Mason’s screams were cut off as the van doors slammed shut.
The warehouse fell silent again. Only the sound of rain on the metal roof remained.
Jackson stood there for a moment, letting the rage drain out of his system.
It was done.
The threat was neutralized.
His family was safe.
He took out his phone and dialed Serenity.
"Hey," his voice softened instantly, the demon replacing the mask of a husband.
"Jackson?" Her anxious voice answered.
"It's over," Jackson walked out into the rain, letting the water wash over his face. "I'm coming home."

Sparks showered from the ceiling. The sound of tearing metal was deafening.The dining car groaned and tilted violently to the right. Tables, chairs, and expensive wine bottles slid down the slope, crashing into the wall.Jackson slammed one hand into a window frame, his other arm locked around Serenity’s waist. He stopped them from sliding into the pile of broken glass below."Don't let go!" Jackson shouted over the noise.Serenity looked down. Through the shattered window beneath them, she saw nothing but swirling snow and darkness. They were dangling over a canyon."The coupling is breaking!" Serenity yelled, pointing to the metal hook connecting their car to the rest of the train. It was stretching, groaning under the weight.CLANG.The door at the top of the tilted car (the one Zero left through) was kicked open.Two figures rappelled down into the car on zip lines.They wore sleek, matte-black armor. No faces. Just glowing red visors. They moved with robotic precision, magnetize

The Midnight Express tore through the darkness of the Swiss Alps at 300 kilometers per hour.In the exclusive private dining car, crystal glasses jingled softly with the vibration of the tracks. Outside the window, nothing existed but snow and night.Jackson adjusted his cufflinks. Under his tuxedo, he was wearing a ceramic knife taped to his ribs—the only weapon the metal detectors didn't pick up.Serenity sat opposite him, looking breathtaking in a black velvet gown. She held a clutch that contained a small vial of Margaret’s anti-serum."Nervous?" Jackson asked, pouring her water."I’m having dinner with the man who tried to kidnap our children," Serenity’s eyes were cold. "I’m not nervous. I’m restraining myself from stabbing him with a fork.""Patience," Jackson whispered.The door at the end of the car slid open.A man walked in.He looked nothing like a villain. He was handsome, in his forties, wearing a grey suit that cost more than the train itself. He had silver hair and a s

"Close your eyes," Liam commanded softly.The nursery was dimly lit. Aurora and Alex lay on the large rug, pillows under their heads. Liam sat between them in a lotus position. Jackson and Serenity watched from the couch, feeling useless but alert."Grandpa, this is unscientific," Alex muttered, keeping one eye open. "Telepathy isn't real.""Quantum entanglement is," Liam placed a finger on Alex's forehead and another on Aurora's. "Connect."A pulse of violet light rippled through the room.The Dreamscape.Alex gasped. He wasn't on the rug anymore.He was standing on an endless plane of pure white water. The sky was white. The horizon was white. It was a blank canvas."Whoa," Alex looked at his hands. They were glowing. "High definition rendering. Zero latency.""Where are the toys?" Aurora appeared next to him. In the dream, she wasn't wearing pajamas. She was wearing a sparkling fairy queen dress.Liam appeared in front of them. He looked younger here, powerful and majestic."This i

That night, the Palace was quiet. But the air was heavy.In the royal nursery, five-year-old Aurora was tossing and turning in her bed. She was sweating.“No… go away…” she whimpered in her sleep.Around her room, objects began to react to her distress. Her teddy bears floated into the air. The heavy curtains rustled as if caught in a storm, though the windows were closed. The water in her glass began to boil.In the Dream:Aurora was standing in a field of grey ash. The sky was purple.In the distance, a massive Black Tower stretched up into the clouds. It looked like a needle piercing the sky.Standing at the top of the tower was a man. He didn't have a face. Just a smooth, white mask with a single vertical line drawn on it."Come here, little star," the man’s voice echoed inside her head. "Your light belongs to me."Shadowy hands reached out from the ground, grabbing Aurora’s ankles."Daddy!" she screamed in the dream.In the Real World:CRACK!The mirror on Aurora's wall shattered
