He hadn't regained consciousness yet, and the weight of their helplessness pressed down on them. They were bound by the same unspoken law of the underworld as Theodore—Cassian's true identity couldn't be revealed without his consent.In the dangerous world they lived in, revealing someone's Mafia title without permission was an unbreakable rule. Even if many Mafia leaders were against Cassian, none dared expose him. Doing so would strip them of their titles and leave them powerless, and shunned by their world. That's why Zuri, despite knowing Cassian's identity as the King of Shadows, never disclosed it. It was a matter of survival.Now, the early hours of morning had arrived, and the tension in the room was palpable. Leo, who had been gazing out the window, suddenly noticed Cassian stirring.
"Theodore, any positive response?" Adelyn's voice trembled with worry as she looked at her husband. Theo, who had just finished making several calls, shook his head in frustration and threw his phone onto the bed."We are powerful, Theodore. Why can't we do anything?" Adelyn's voice cracked as tears welled up in her eyes. Her heart ached thinking about their son and Hailey, both in danger and yet they felt paralyzed, unable to act.Theo's jaw tightened as he met her gaze. "Because, Adelyn," he began, his voice heavy with the weight of the truth, "when we talk about Cassian Holt, the world only sees a businessman. He doesn't have the power to attack or confront someone like the Mayor or his family—at least, not as Cassian Holt."Adelyn's tears spilled over, but Theo continued, his tone darkening with every word. "The real power lies with the King of Shadows. He's the one who rules the underworld. But for Cassian to intervene as the King of Shadows, would me
London:-Gabriel and Caleb were lounging in Caleb's room, the soft hum of the air conditioner and the occasional clicking of keys as Caleb surfed the internet filling the space. Caleb's relaxed posture suddenly stiffened as he sat upright, eyes glued to the screen. His face paled with panic."Gabriel," Caleb's voice trembled.Gabriel, who was casually flipping through his collection of paintings, glanced over at Caleb and frowned when he noticed the alarm in his expression. "What's going on?" Gabriel asked, standing up from the couch and walking toward Caleb."Call Lucas, now!" Caleb's voice was filled with urgency as he showed Gabriel the screen. Gabriel's eyes widened. The video clip was short but unmistakable, Cassian was engaged in a tiff with Maxwell Lockhood at the mall.The headline, "A Man Attacks Maxwell Lockwood, Son of Bristol's Mayor.""Damn it," Gabriel cursed under his breath. He pulled
Cassian came home early, the paperwork completed and all signatures in place. It was finally time to leave for London tomorrow. As he flipped through channels on the TV, Hailey entered the hall with a thoughtful expression."Cassian, since we're leaving tomorrow, can I go to the mall today? I was thinking of buying some gifts for everyone," Hailey asked excitedly.Cassian glanced at the time, noticing it was already 4 in the afternoon. After a moment of consideration, he smiled and said, "Sure, I'm free too, so I'll come with you.""Okie! I'll be ready in a while," Hailey replied cheerfully before hurrying off to change. Cassian headed to the bedroom as well, slipping into something casual—a hoodie and jeans.Once both were ready, they left for the mall, chatting lightly during the ride. What they didn't know was that Maxwell owned the mall. As they entered, Maxwell's men recognized them immediately and reported their arrival to him. Maxwell had now
Cassian's fury was palpable, his voice thunderous as he paced in front of Hailey. "You told Lucas you were going to your friend's place! Then why the hell did I find you in that pub? Did you lie to him?" he barked, his words dripping with anger.Hailey shook her head frantically, her voice
Hailey reached over, placing her other hand over his. "You're incredibly brave, Cassian. I can't imagine going through that."Cassian smiled, though it was tinged with sadness. "It was hell, but it made me who I am today. Stronger, more determined. I promised myself that if I survived, I'd
Hailey returned to her penthouse, placing the groceries in the kitchen before heading for a quick shower. It was already evening, and she knew Cassian would be back soon. After slipping into some comfortable home clothes, she decided to prepare dinner. Once that was done, she checked her bag to g
