"Who are you, and how the fuck did you get into my house?" Michael asked, his voice trembling even though he was trying to sound tough. He glared at the tall stranger standing in his living room, but as Darlington took a step closer, Michael’s bravado started to melt.

"I said... leave her alone," Darlington repeated. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a deadly weight that made the air in the small room feel freezing.

Michael scoffed, trying to hide his fear behind a fake smile. He let go of Freya’s arm and turned fully toward Darlington. "You’re in my house commanding me? Maybe you should show some respect. This is my home."

"The only respect you should show here is to her," Darlington replied. He reached out, his large hand finding Freya’s waist and pulling her firmly against his side. The warmth of his body made Freya’s heart skip a beat, but she knew she had to play her part.

Freya looked up at Michael, her eyes flashing with a mix of hurt and triumph. "Well, Michael, you ar

    me immediately. Understand?” Freya felt angry and playful at the same time. She smiled a little — but not a happy smile. In a mocking voice she said, “Okay, Mr. Protector.” Darlington heard her words. His face did not change. He just ignored her. He walked out of the office quickly and closed the door behind him. The room felt empty and quiet after he left. Freya kept working. She finished sorting all the files on the table. Then she remembered something. Darlington had told her earlier about an important file in the safe. She needed to find it and put it with the others. She stood up. She looked around the office. First, she checked the shelves. Nothing. Then she checked the cabinets. Still nothing. She started to feel worried. Where could it be? Finally, she went to his big desk. She opened the drawers one by one. She moved some pens and papers aside. Still no file. She got down on her knees. She looked under the desk. Maybe it fell there. She crawled a little under the desk to

    The air in the car turned freezing the moment the guard spoke. Darlington didn't panic; instead, he became deathly still. It was like his soul had left his body and been replaced by a cold, calculating machine. "Are the rest of the men still intact?" Darlington asked. His voice was a low, dangerous rumble that made the guard shiver. "Yes, sir," the guard replied, wiping sweat from his forehead. "But only five of our elite guards are in the meeting hall right now. The members of the inner circle are starting to panic. They’re scared, sir. The enemies have become much more serious and harsh. They didn't just scout the area—they came to kill." Darlington didn't hesitate. He stepped out of the car, his movements sharp and fast. He leaned back into the window to look at Freya. "Stay here," he ordered. "The glass is bulletproof. Lock the doors from the inside and do not open them for anyone but me or Kelvin. You’ll be safe here." Before Freya could even argue, he slammed the door and wa

    The ride to Darlington Knight’s mansion felt unreal. The car was quiet, smooth, and dark enough inside that I could almost pretend none of this was happening. Outside, the city lights moved past like falling stars, each one sharp and far away, like a world I used to belong to. I kept my hands locked together on my lap. Every few minutes, when I remembered that the hospital really had received five million dollars… my chest tightened again. I tried not to think about it too deeply, because every time I did, something inside me bent sharply—like a branch carrying too much snow. Darlington sat on the other side of the backseat. He wasn’t looking at me. He was reading something on a tablet, expression calm. He didn’t speak. He didn’t ask questions. His silence wasn’t awkward—just controlled. I wasn’t used to people who didn’t fill silence with words. I wasn’t used to quiet at all. The driver spoke for the first time when the gates appeared. “Sir, we’re here.” I lifted my head.

    The elevator doors opened into a quiet hallway, and for a moment, I forgot how to breathe. The casino noise faded behind us, replaced by soft lights, a clean scent, and silence so deep it almost echoed. Darlington stepped out first, calm and steady, as if nothing unusual was happening. “Come,” he said gently. “We’re only talking.” Only talking. But my heart thudded like it was trying to escape. I followed him into a wide penthouse living room. Everything inside looked expensive but simple. Dark walls. Soft gold light. Huge windows that showed the city glowing below. It felt like stepping into another world—one far away from debts, fear, and hospital calls. Darlington stopped near a low table. “Sit. You’re shaking.” I didn’t even realize I was until I looked down and saw my fingers trembling around my bag. I sat slowly, keeping my eyes low. He brought me water and placed it in front of me without a word. I didn’t touch it. I felt like any wrong move might break somethin

    He didn’t make a sound. He didn’t move quickly. He just stood there — tall, calm, impossibly unreadable. But his eyes… They were the kind of eyes that could walk straight into your thoughts without knocking. Grant slowly stood up behind me. “Mr. Knight,” he said with a thin smile that looked like it was stitched onto his face. “What a surprise.” Darlington didn’t look at him. He only watched me. One long, quiet stare that stripped away every lie I could ever think of. My heart slammed inside my chest so hard it hurt. Finally, he spoke. His voice was deep and smooth, but cold — like someone speaking from far away. “Why,” he asked quietly, “is my name inside that folder?” The room felt too small. The air too tight. My breath too short. I opened my mouth, but no sound came out. My throat felt locked shut. Grant stepped forward quickly, trying to control the moment. “This is a misunderstanding—” Darlington raised one hand. Just one. And Grant fell silent immediately.
