Chapter 1

"Mr. Chamberlain, I'm sorry." The doctor slid the lab report across the desk. "Brain cancer. Late stage."Oscar Chamberlain stared at the doctor for several seconds, then lowered his gaze to the two words on the page. The paper was still warm from the printer. The sharp, chemical smell of ink hit him, and his stomach tightened.The doctor continued in a careful, practiced tone, "In the best-case scenario, you have about two years."Oscar did not respond. He folded the report with steady hands and slipped it into the deepest pocket of his jacket, as if hiding it there could buy him time.Outside the hospital, the sun burned white. People streamed past him in both directions, occupied with errands and lunch plans. No one knew his life had just begun counting down.His phone rang."Ozzy, add a few extra dishes tonight," a bright voice said. "Your sisters are all coming home."The nine sisters were always busy, always away. It was rare for all of them to gather at once.Oscar swall

Chapter 2

Rain streamed down Oscar's face and soaked through his clothes, but he felt none of it.For years, he had given the Chamberlain family everything.Amara's Chamberlain Group would never have risen to the top of Silverton without him supplying her with intelligence day after day, placing winning strategies on her desk so seamlessly that others believed they were her own.Bella would not have become the city's youngest superintendent without the leads he planted and the suspects he steered into her path, allowing her to close each case herself.The third sister, Clara Chamberlain, possessed only modest talent but loved to paint. Behind the scenes, he hired mentor after mentor, refined her technique, and cultivated connections until she could mount a solo exhibition with her name emblazoned across the banner.The fourth sister, Diana. The fifth, Elara. Did they truly believe their success came from grit alone? Without him, what had given the nine of them the advantage to dominate thei

Chapter 3

"Victor, we really have no money left!" George dropped to his knees. "We already repaid the 60,000 dollars we borrowed from you. Over the years, it was 6,000 here, 6,000 there. Now it's somehow 600,000? How are we supposed to come up with that?"He pressed his forehead to the floor. "Please. Leave our family a way out."His plea did not soften Victor. It hardened him.Victor stepped forward and kicked George aside."Save it. Who the hell are you to beg me?" he snapped. "If I give you a way out, who gives me one?"He spat on the ground. "Blame yourself. You messed with someone you shouldn't have."Victor raised his hand. "If you won't choose, I'll choose for you."He pointed at Rebecca. "Take the girl. 60 bucks a night. Let her work for a few decades. That'll cover the debt."Two thugs grinned and advanced.Rebecca seized Oscar's arm. Her whole body trembled."No!" George struggled up, but Victor kicked him down again.He was too old. His thin frame could no longer shield his

Chapter 4

"Miss Bella, you're here!"Unlike Oscar, the Chamberlain sisters lived in the spotlight. They made headlines almost daily. In Silverton, nearly everyone recognized them.Victor hurried to drag over a stool. He wiped it down with his sleeve and offered it to Bella.She glanced at it. Disgust flickered across her face. She remained standing."What do you mean by that, Miss Bella?" Victor asked with a strained smile. "You two had a little family spat?""Family?" Bella's voice sharpened. "Listen carefully. As of today, Oscar has been expelled from the Chamberlain family. Whatever he does has nothing to do with us."Victor's head buzzed.Decades under the same roof left marks that didn't wash out easily. And just like that, the Chamberlain siblings had severed ties?"Miss Bella, you must be joking," Victor said, unease creeping into his voice. "If he has nothing to do with you, why would you follow him here?""To sever ties."Bella stepped fully into the shack. She closed her umbr

"That little bastard," Bella snapped as soon as she stepped through the door. "He's gotten real bold."She tossed her umbrella onto the floor and dropped onto the sofa, her cheeks still tight with anger.Amara entered with a cup of coffee, stirring it in slow, steady circles.The other sisters drifted closer, curiosity written across their faces. Even Jason watched with bright, restless eyes, nothing like the shy young man who had first crossed their threshold."What happened?" Amara asked."What happened?" Bella scoffed. "He's lived under our roof too long. He's gotten used to looking down on people. He picked a fight with the Wyrmwood family in Northspire. He actually challenged Dargan to his face."Her voice sharpened as the memory surfaced. "And he even called it 'a minor nuisance.' Said he didn't need the Chamberlain family's help. Who does he think he is? Without our name, he would've starved on the street."Amara's spoon slowed, then stilled."Did he agree to come to Jas

Chapter 6

Black storm clouds pressed low over the Percham District.Beneath them, narrow lanes packed tight with men in black jackets and trousers stretched into the distance, cold steel gripped in their hands.Rain struck the blades, and each metallic ring sliced through the night like a warning."Shut the doors!""Turn off the lights!""Don't let them see you!"Windows slammed one after another. The settlement fell silent. Everyone knew what was coming, and no one dared look outside.In Silverton, Dargan's name alone could stop a child from crying. No one ignored his presence. No one defied him."Is that so?" Oscar unhurriedly stood in the shattered doorway. "I didn't know you had that kind of nerve."His composure gave Dargan pause."Didn't Amara say this thing was kicked out of the Chamberlain family?" Dargan muttered, dragging a lackey closer."Yes, Mr. Wyrmwood. It's true. Miss Amara said he's no longer a Chamberlain," the man replied, his voice unsteady.Dargan raised his voic

Chapter 7

The cold voice from the sky rolled across the Percham District.Weapons clattered to the ground as the men in black dropped them without hesitation and squatted with their hands clasped over their heads. A few collapsed face-first into the mud, shaking so violently their teeth chattered.They were used to bullying the weak. They were not used to facing machine guns.George and his family obeyed at once. They raised their hands, kept their heads down, and lowered their bodies close to the ground.Yet a fragile hope flickered. This might turn in their favor.Even Dargan swallowed his pride. He crouched slowly, eyes darting as he searched for an escape.Helicopters descended and dropped ropes. A disciplined squad slid down in swift, practiced motions. At their head stood a woman in black tactical armor, polished boots, and tight gloves. An insignia gleamed on her shoulder: Silverton Citadel Forces.It was the most powerful authority in the city's hierarchy. They did not interfere

Chapter 8

Bella drove her Audi at an easy pace, one hand resting on the wheel."Stubborn idiot. Would it kill you to speak like a civilized person? For all these years you ate at our table and lived under our roof. We're not heartless."If you'd swallowed your pride and said a few decent words, even if we kicked you out, we could have made sure you lived comfortably. Instead, you had to show off."She snorted. "Let's see if this lesson teaches you what the real world looks like."She worried about Oscar, but not enough to hurry.The Chamberlain family stood at the very top in Silverton. What was Dargan in comparison? A local bully in Northspire.Even expelled, Oscar still carried the shadow of the Chamberlain name. Anyone who wanted to touch him would first consider whom he was tied to.She did not believe Dargan would truly kill him. Thus, she drove without urgency, fully intending to let Oscar suffer a little.Her radio crackled."Chief, something's wrong in Percham."She frowned. "W

Chapter 9

Bella did not spare George a glance. She strode into the shack and swept her gaze across the cramped room until it settled on Oscar, stretched out on the sagging sofa.He lay beneath a patched cotton quilt, its stuffing bunched and uneven, the fabric worn thin from years of use.A flicker of disdain crossed her face."Where's Dargan?" she demanded. "Didn't I tell him to handle this by the book?"Her tone was sharp and dismissive.George's expression darkened. He pointed toward the door. "That's a question you should ask him. Miss Bella, if there's nothing else, please leave. We're going to sleep."Helena and Rebecca stood at his side, their eyes wary.Bella paused. She recognized that she had misspoken, and her voice softened slightly. "That's not what I meant. I came to find Oscar Chamberlain."She pointed at Oscar. "You. Come out. I need to speak with you."Oscar did not look at her. He eased himself back against the sofa."There's no one here named Oscar Chamberlain," he s

Chapter 10

By the time Bella returned to the Chamberlain estate, it was well past midnight.The villa still blazed with light. The Chamberlain sisters lived at the most prestigious address in Silverton, and at night the mansion shone so brightly that it had become a landmark for social media influencers."I'm so pissed," Bella muttered, tossing her coat onto the rack."What happened, Bella?"She had not expected anyone to still be awake. When she noticed the figure on the sofa, her tone softened. The nine sisters had always been close."Don't ask," she said. "My car died halfway home."Diana hurried over. "Are you okay?""I'm fine." Bella waved off the concern. "Why are you still up? Didn't you say a patient specifically requested you for surgery tomorrow?"Diana, the fourth sister, served as a chief physician."I want to sleep," she said with a sigh. "But Amara's headache flared up. She just lay down, and I'm worried she'll wake again."She set her tablet aside. "I also need to run a s
