Derek's POVDeafening silence engulfed us for what felt like a minute. “You want my help? I can't remember the last time you asked for my help… probably because you never did,” he mused as his voice sliced the air.“Let's be honest here, Reaper. You might be keeping a low profile, but I know just like other competitors, you're equally insatiable. You need more power within your grasp. Thus, you remain quiet to carefully monitor your opponent and know whom to choose when the time comes,” I had a knowing look.Gavin narrowed his eyes. “And if I am correct, you think you're the best option to pick? You've got the whole underworld going on a rampage, and they're desperately looking for a chance to eliminate you as you're a strong opponent in their eyes. With the way they're chasing after you, it feels like there's a damn bounty on your head, and they're desperately looking for the price that comes after eliminating you. I understand that you're strong enough to handle them, but you requir

Rachael's POVI snuck out through the door, looking around to see if the coast was clear before running the opposite way from the mansion. My heart was racing because I could clearly remember what happened the last time I tried to escape. Derek wasn't home yet so I had the opportunity to leave unnoticeably. The guards were few because they were about to take turns. This was the perfect time to follow the gate. This time I was fully prepared to leave this place and after doing some research on how to disengage an automatic successfully, I discovered that there were three ways to go about it, so I decided to use the last option instead.Without any delay, I got to the monitor and tried to find the lever. I could feel adrenaline rushing through my veins as I did everything quickly. I pushed the arm down then opened the gate manually. “Finally,” I sighed in relief as I successfully opened the gate and ran out of the mansion, running through the one-way path. My eyes darted as fear grip

Gina's POV I could perceive the smell of blood and gunfire. Another gunshot rang in the room and the armed man fell limply on the floor. The place was silent, and I stared in shock as the king slowly fell on his knees. Derek rushed towards him as he tossed the gun over to me. How did he manage to use himself to shield Derek so fast? I could see blood seeping from the wound while he pressed against the wound with his hand.“Are you alright?” Derek helped him up and tried moving him close to the wall so that he could rest his back against the wall. “The ambulance will be here soon, you have to stay still,” Derek advised as he checked his wristwatch.The king chuckled lightly, exhaustion tugged on his eyelids. He was visibly weak and it was obvious. “That's irrelevant. Even though they arrive here, I doubt they'd be able to do anything effective,” he reasoned, and he lifted his shirt, exposing his wounds.I gasped when I saw the blood oozing from two wounds. A wound on his chest and an

Rachael's POVI slowly regained consciousness. As I attempted to push back the haze of sleep, a sharp, and searing pain shot through my body like a lightning bolt, causing me to gasp in agony. It felt as though a thousand needles were pricking my head, the sensation intensifying with each passing moment. Panic clutched at me as I struggled to comprehend the source of this inexplicable torment.As the excruciating pain continued to course through my veins, my mind raced with questions and fears. What was happening to her?Suddenly, a blinding light pierced through the darkness, causing me to squint my eyes against the luminous intensity. A flashlight was pointed towards me, blinding me temporarily as I tried to move my gaze or close my eyes to avoid the blinding light, but I was worried and curious to know where I was and who it was that stood in the room. Through the haze, a figure emerged, their features obscured by shadows. A voice, low and menacing, echoed through the room, sendin

Third POVVivian stared at the building with the sign 'Retirement Home' written boldly in front of the building. She made her way into the building and went straight to the receiving room. She was about inquiring for someone when she sighted the old lady sitting at a corner. She was sitting at the far end of the room beside a group of men that were playing poker. “Good morning, Elena,” she greeted with a smile as she made her way towards the lady. The old lady slowly lifted her head and her eyes seemed unfocused for a while until she squinted her gaze at her.Her face turned sore immediately. “What are you doing here? I thought I told you to make sure you never return here anymore,” the old lady grumbled indignantly.“Well, I can't abandon my own family,” Vivian sneered as she made herself comfortable on a seat in front of the old lady. “Family?” The old lady raised a brow as she scoffed. “My son might have married you into my family, but that doesn't make us a family,” her eyes sho
