Kael sped on the silent and lonely highway. He was looking at Anna intermittently through the rearview mirror. She was just still and her face was blank and void of any emotions.

“Ma'am, are you okay?” Kael asked in concern.

“Can you f*cking stop calling me ma'am?” She exploded like a ticking bomb. Her eyes were heavy with rage and she just spat out one percent of it at Kael. Then she muttered. “I'm not hit”

“You are not? That was a precise target by the. . .” Kael suddenly stopped what he was saying. As if on cue, he and Anna both transferred their gaze to Khaid who was looking ahead. His mouth was paused and his eyes were dark and blank.

“Khaid, did the bullet hit you?” Anna grew hysterical.

“I’m fine. It only grazed my shoulder” He responded.

“I don't believe you” Anna then turned to Kael. “Put that goddamn doctor on the line this minute and step on the f*cking brakes!”

Without waiting for further instructions, Kael stepped on the brakes and sped off like a mad man on the trail.

  • Rise of the Rejected; Bred by the Mafia CEO   Chapter Sixty-eight:Support or not

    Nepher's Residence The house was swallowed in a heavy, expensive silence when Nepher finally walked in. He was draped in a simple black tunic, his presence as dark as the fabric he wore. The tunic was stained with what looked like a splash of blood. His face was etched in a cold, impenetrable seriousness that made the air in the sitting room feel thin.Jane was sitting in a heap on the velvet couch, her frail frame nearly swallowed by the shadows. She wasn't fazed by the blood traces on his tunic. She had seen worse. She watched him advance, expecting a glance, a nod or anything. But Nepher moved with a singular focus, intending to pass her by as if she were just another piece of the high-end furniture."Welcome, Nepher," Jane whispered, her voice a brittle thread.He didn't stop. He only mumbled a low, unintelligible response, his boots clicking rhythmically against the marble as he headed for the stairs. He reached the foot of the staircase, his hand hovering over the railing, read

  • Rise of the Rejected; Bred by the Mafia CEO   Chapter Sixty-seven:The Check-up

    AnnaSage led the way into the doctor's office with an aura of sheer familiarity. The doctor’s office was a sanctuary of white marble, glass, and the faint, biting scent of antiseptic. It was too clean, too bright, and sleek. Anna concluded at that instance that he definitely has Obsessive Compulsive disorder with cleanliness considering how everything was in a specific pattern and position.The doctor, a man who looked like he’d never seen a day of stress in his life, stood up the moment we entered, his face lighting up with a level of cheerfulness that made me want to hit something."Counselor Sage! A pleasure as always," the doctor greeted, practically bowing.“Doctor Arthur, how have you been?”“I've been doing well. How about you?” Then he turned to me. “Good day ma'am. Please, have your seat”I sat in the leather chair, crossing my arms and scoffing. Sage’s urgency was ridiculous. I had told him a dozen times in the car that I was fine, that it was just exhaustion from dealing w

  • Rise of the Rejected; Bred by the Mafia CEO   Chapter Sixty-six:Silent Battles

    Jane sat propped up against the ornate mahogany headboard, her body wracked by a violent, hollow cough that seemed to shake her very soul. Each breath she took was a struggle. It was like a raspy whistle that echoed in the silent room. Her personal maid rushed in, face pale with worry, clutching a bottle of water and a crystal glass.She knelt by the bedside, her movements frantic as she poured the water. “Here is the water” Jane reached out, her hands shaking uncontrollably, the veins beneath her translucent skin appearing like thin, blue threads on old parchment. She took slow, painful gulps, the water barely soothing the raw heat in her throat.When she finished, she handed the cup back and sank deeper into the pillows. “Thank you” Her face was a shadow of its former regal self. Her cheekbones stood out sharply against her pale skin, and her eyes which were once sharp and commanding were now hollow and distant, clouded by a weariness that sleep couldn't fix. She looked like a mas

  • Rise of the Rejected; Bred by the Mafia CEO   Chapter Sixty-Five:Out with it

    Jasmin's Apartment Jasmin sat perfectly still on the cushion, her eyes darting restlessly around the living room. She looked from the polished white walls to the stunted leg of the coffee table to the flat-screen television, then back to the gleaming kitchen counters. It was as if she were trying to anchor herself to the physical world to keep her thoughts from drifting back to the cargo hold of the plane.“A person was killed in your room? Like a thief? I knew that neighbourhood was not safe. Imagine if you had been at home. Oh gosh!” Jasmin facepalmed herself. “You're never stepping foot into that place again”Bluey looked at her with an innocent gaze. “It's not the room you know.” She hesitated before continuing. “It's my room in…Khaid's Residence” Finally, her gaze landed on Bluey who was standing rather meekly in front of her."You've been living with him?" Jasmin asked, her voice quiet but piercing.Bluey froze. She looked up slowly, offering a weak, lopsided smile. "Yes," she

  • Rise of the Rejected; Bred by the Mafia CEO   Chapter Sixty-Four:Move it!

    Khaid's Residence “Boss” Kael bowed as Khaid approached Bluey's room. Four guards were hovering at the entrance and the medical team were rushing in with first aid boxes and a stretcher. Doctor Lin rushed in behind them.“What's going on, Kael?” Khaid stood at the entrance. His gaze was dark and hard as he looked at the medical team inside the Bluey's room.“The gunshot alarm went off and we traced it to Bluey's room. The maid that was cleaning was hit. It was a clear shot. Long range but precise”“Anything on the bullet? Any traces?”“It is surprising that there is none boss. I've never seen a bullet like that”“Which is why you should f*cking look it up! No one hit my staff in my house and get away with it”“On it boss”“Out of the way” The medical team yelled to the guards as they wheeled the lifeless-looking maid out of the room. Doctor Lin came out with his white coat smeared with blood. He walked over to Khaid and bowed.“Spill”“We lost her. It was a direct and precise shots

  • Rise of the Rejected; Bred by the Mafia CEO   Chapter Sixty-three:The target

    MTP Arena The guards hurled them out of MetroPaul's presence. They were dragged towards the dreary dungeon. A dungeon where the weak takes his last breath and the strong never remain the same.“Do not maltreat her” Jerry yelled at one of the guards. “No matter what happened, she's still the boss’ daughter and when she's out of her, she can order your heads to be rolling across the compound” The guards said nothing. They carried out MetroPaul's instruction. They put them in separate cells opposite each other with only a hallway separating them. They can see each other perfectly through the horizontal and vertically intertwined bars.The guards left, the marching terror of their feet disappeared and soon the dungeon was silent again except for the intermittent painful groans of others in the nearby cells. The stench of blood and sweat was killing.“Why did you do that?” Elvira broke the chilly silence. “Did what?” Jerry stared at her.“Don't feign innocence” Elvira scoffed. “Why did
