"Did you hear that? My girlfriend is on her way," Andrew Shepherd sneered. His eyes were full of contempt. "I'm warning you, freeloaders. Start thinking about whether you want to apologize or get thrown out."Michael Guerra's face flushed bright red with anger as he yelled, "Watch your goddamn mouth! Who are you calling freeloaders? We paid for the class. How is that freeloading? Is this how you talk to customers? Are you trying to get your gym shut down?"Andrew folded his arms and laughed. His voice was sharp with mockery. "Wow, everyone, look over here. They got mad because I called them out, and now they're snapping at me like rabid dogs. What? Did I hit a nerve? Look at you two. Do you even have 500 dollars between you?"And you're pretending to be rich kids? Real rich kids don't bother coming in here panting like dogs for a 9.90-dollar trial class."He curled his lip in disgust. "I can tell you're nobodies who just want to take a few muscle-flexing photos at a fancy gym to po

The men froze. Their eyes instinctively shifted toward Andrew. Andrew stared hard at the crest, and suspicion flickered across his face.I swept my gaze coldly over the room. "Open your eyes and look closely. This crest represents the authority of Halvea's Carter Group. There are fewer than five in this entire city. Its value alone could buy this pathetic gym a hundred times over. Is that enough proof?"I will remember everything that happened today, everything you did to me, and everything you did to my friend, who is the Pearsons' son-in-law."My voice turned to ice. "I, Romeo Carter, swear that every single one of you will pay."The gym went dead silent. Freddie's hand shook around his phone as the coaches started looking terrified.Then, Andrew suddenly burst out laughing. "Wow, what an actor. You all got fooled by him. He really thinks a cheap metal trinket can scare us. It's hilarious!"Michael clutched his chest, shaking with rage. "How dare you say his crest is fake?""H

Andrew hugged her smugly and mouthed at me, clear as day, "What are you going to do about it?"Selena's entire face went rigid. She took a deep breath. "Romeo, we'll talk about this at home. I'm not wasting time arguing here."This gym is partly mine. You coming here and making a scene is disrespectful to me. Now apologize to Andrew, grab your friend, and leave. Otherwise, don't blame me for not considering the fact that we're married.""Married?"I laughed in disbelief. "Selena, you're talking to me about marriage? When you took a lover, opened a gym for him, handed him my belongings, and let him flaunt my identity, did you remember the fact that you're married?"Did that cross your mind when you let him lead a group of men to beat Michael and me up? And now you want to talk to me about being married? Aren't you disgusted with yourself?"Andrew chimed in immediately, fanning the flames. "Selly, don't listen to him. He hit me first! I only fought back to keep the gym running. It

The ambulance arrived just in time. Michael and Andrew were both carried out on separate stretchers. Juliana stayed by Michael's side, but before leaving, she turned back and shot Selena a deathly cold stare, one sharp enough to kill.My father sat down calmly at the reception desk and wiped his hands, like he was brushing away dirt."Break their arms and legs, then throw them out," he said quietly, gesturing at the male coaches who attacked us."Yes, Mr. Carter."The bodyguards did as they were told. Within moments, the men who had beaten us were screaming on the floor, then dragged out of the gym like broken animals."As for him…" My father's gaze landed on the trembling Freddie.He collapsed to the floor, begging like his life depended on it. "Mr. Carter, please spare me! Andrew ordered me to do it. I swear, I had nothing to do with this!""Slash his face and cut his tongue," my father said calmly. "No one gets to film or gossip about the Carter family."Upon hearing this,
