The word “Dad” coming from Regis’s lips made Alejandro chuckle again. He patted his son-in-law’s arm, but Regis suddenly winced and hunched forward.“What’s wrong, Regis?” Alejandro asked, surprised.Regis shook his head. “It’s nothing. Just pulled at the wound a bit,” he replied.“Oh damn, I totally forgot you’re injured,” Alejandro muttered, clearly concerned. He moved quickly to check on Regis’s injury, but Regis stopped his hand.“I’m fine, Dad,” Regis said, trying to show there was nothing to worry about.Alejandro let out a deep sigh. “If you're hurt, you shouldn’t be drinking with me. Go get some rest,” he told him.Regis stiffened. He didn’t want to leave the room yet. There was still something he hadn’t had the chance to ask the older man.“Why are you just standing there? Go on. Ask one of my men to take you to Ray’s room. I’m staying here a while longer,” Alejandro said again.“But … there’s still something I need to ask you, Dad,” Regis said, reminding the man of his earli

After finishing up, Amora stepped out of the room. Marie was waiting, ready to guide her to the dining room.Amora was in awe of the luxury surrounding her. She never imagined she’d spend the night in a place this grand. And yet, despite all the extravagance, she felt no freedom as she walked through the elaborately decorated halls.The servants gave her polite greetings, bowing slightly as if afraid she might lash out. It made Amora feel like some kind of frightening stranger.The atmosphere in the mansion was heavy, almost suffocating, and all Amora wanted was to leave. Given the choice between this lavish estate full of rules and a modest home where she could live freely, she’d choose the latter without hesitation.Her thoughts were interrupted when Marie spoke beside her. “Miss, please … this way.”Amora’s eyes landed on the large, closed double doors in front of her. She swallowed hard, trying to settle her nerves.‘Whatever it takes, I need to convince him to let me leave today,

Breakfast at the Volker residence went on as planned, even though Steffany’s arrival had clearly killed Alejandro’s appetite.Alejandro wasn’t about to pass up the chance to have breakfast with his biological daughter and grandson, no matter how unpleasant his wife’s presence made him feel.Still, Alejandro was somewhat relieved that Steffany was at least being friendly toward Amora. He’d worried she wouldn’t accept her. Even so, he felt her behavior was a bit too much.Steffany kept trying to make conversation with everyone at the table, even though she clearly knew her husband didn’t want her there. Between spoonfuls of her favorite seafood cream soup, she turned to Amora and said, “I heard from Dr. Wright that you’re pregnant. How are you feeling this morning? Any nausea?”Alejandro’s brows furrowed. His hand paused mid-spread with jam on his whole wheat toast.“Why are you looking at me like that, Honey? Am I not allowed to care a little about your daughter’s well-being?” Steffany

“Regis, I—”“No. You’re staying here,” Regis cut her off, clearly understanding what his wife was about to say.“I’ll go alone. I hope yesterday taught you a lesson, Baby,” he added firmly.“Regis is right, Amora. Stay here until he settles things with his father. Trust him,” Alejandro chimed in. He didn’t want his daughter taking unnecessary risks again either.Amora glanced at her father and let out a resigned sigh. She knew her actions yesterday had caused panic and worry for everyone. “Fine. But I’m going to stay at my own house,” she muttered.“No, Amora. You and Ray stay here until I come back to get you both—once everything’s safe and under control,” Regis replied, still firm.It wasn’t that Regis wanted Amora to stay at the Volker mansion, but at the moment, he didn’t have many options. For now, they had to take cover under the protection of the Golden Snake.Before taking Amora and Rayden back with him, Regis needed to make sure of something, especially about Jack’s actions.

"Is everyone in position?""All set and under control.""Stay alert and make sure to stick to your roles.""Yes, Sir!"Mark ended the group call without waiting for a reply, having just finished a brief check-in with his most trusted allies. He was sitting in a car with Regis. They had just arrived at Rigel Harbor at eleven a.m. as scheduled."Sir, everyone’s following the plan to the letter," Mark reported again, even though Regis had heard everything earlier.Regis gave a small nod. His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, taking in the quiet scene around one of the warehouses.The area had already been secured ahead of time, so no one could get close without authorization."What about Xavier? Has he reached the Royal Dragon base yet?" Regis asked while loading bullets into one of his handguns, checking everything with mechanical precision."He texted five minutes ago. He’s at the gate waiting for your signal," Mark responded promptly."Tell him to move in five minutes. No mercy for
