Arriving at the location, my eyes scanned the area. My only hope was that Darius was tagging along. Putting all my hope in him felt absurd, but there was no turning back now.I heard footsteps echoing, growing louder with each step.It was Gregor, finally arriving with a few of his men at his side. Our gazes locked.I finally caught a glimpse of that bastard after so many years. A reminder of the past few weeks struck me—the fact that I wanted him at my mercy, to pay for all he had caused me. But now, being this close, I couldn't make him pay. The situation was against me; I was surrounded by his men."Long time, Mr. Hawthorne," Gregor broke through the lingering silence. Our eyes remained fixed in a daring gaze."Where is she, Gregor? Where is Scarlet?" I questioned. The fact stood that I couldn't kill him—not now, at least. I just had to wait for Darius to get a clean shot and silence him. But before that happened, I needed answers. I needed him to reveal Scarlet's location before I

The whole area echoed with gunshots, followed by each moan of pain. One of the men grasped Sebastian, who was in an unconscious state, helping him up. I felt a grip on me as well; it was the scarred man."Let's go. We have to leave now," he uttered as he gripped my hand, leading me through the hallway as we ran for it.I tried to maintain our speed, but my weak state made it difficult. My vision was blurry, and my footsteps echoed haphazardly. Guns pointed ahead were silenced as bodies dropped to the ground, blood gushing out. I wanted to shut my eyes—it was hard to take in the gruesome sight. But I couldn't give up; I had to keep going, denying my body's weakness.As we made our way through, we finally arrived outside the building. The clear, bright sun left a piercing beam, causing me to shut my eyes a bit, having been in the dark for a while. They led me into a vehicle parked on the side as we hurriedly entered with gunshots still piercing the air."Let's go. Move it," the scarred

"How is this possible? I thought you were dead," I questioned Darius, still in disbelief."Well, I was, boss. Thankfully, I was wearing a bulletproof vest, so I only got bruised a little. I'm sorry that I arrived late, and they had already gotten to you hard," he apologized."No, Darius, it's okay. I really thought you were gone, and I own it to you for keeping your word and not failing me," I admitted."That's just my duty to you, boss. You don't need to thank me. I was the reason this all happened in the first place. I should have controlled and stopped Nikolai from harming Gregor's son. Maybe if I had managed to get that done, you wouldn't have been in that situation in the first place. I'm really sorry, boss, for my mistakes—grave mistakes, which I made. I can only promise that no further mistakes will be made on the way," he confessed.Truthfully, I couldn't have been happier that he was alive. I admit I was initially angry, but he was my best man, and losing your best man isn't

After consoling Sebastian's mother, I led her outside the restaurant to her car. I watched as she entered, wiping her tears before starting the engine and driving off. This meeting hadn't brought me any closer to the answers I sought.I made my way back to my car and started the engine, driving without a destination in mind. It seemed I had no choice but to ask Sebastian directly about his alleged criminal activities and the true profession he had kept hidden beneath his businessman persona. But I knew it wouldn't be easy to get answers from him.After driving for a while, I decided to park at my mom's house. I had wanted to check on her before I was kidnapped. I had no idea how she was doing. As I stepped out of the car, I caught sight of Evelyn exiting the building, followed by Tristan – the same guy who had apologized to me, claiming it was all a mistake. Here he was with Evelyn, and I watched as the two shared a warm embrace before turning and walking away together.I approached m

"Yes, the illegal kind. The substance was quite a harmful one, which currently has left some of her organs damaged, and her brain cells also, which left her in such a state. We are not sure yet, but we think she might have gotten the addiction side effect as well.""Addiction side effect? Brain damage? Drug overdose? Please, what are you saying, doctor? My mom doesn't take those kinds of drugs, so how is this possible?" My mom hardly smoked or drank, and now I was being informed that she had gotten into drugs. It all sounded absurd to me, knowing that my mom would never involve herself in such things. I knew my dad's death must have traumatized her or left her down, but yet, she couldn't, right?"I know this may be a lot for you to take in, but you have to try. The reports displayed show that it was due to a drug overdose.""Alright, doctor, let's say it's so. But what can we do now? Is my mom ever going to be alright again? Would my mom still be able to recognize me as her daughter o
