Metropolis Prison

Metropolis Prison was the most dangerous prison in the country, a place where the most violent criminals were kept. Murderers, serial killers, and men whose names inspired fear lived within its walls. It was not a place meant for someone like Ethan Vale.Ethan lay on his bed or rather, what could barely be called a bed. It was only a thin mat infested with bugs that crawled freely across his weak body. His delicate skin had turned red from countless bites, irritated and swollen. If it had been his first day in this prison, Ethan would never have allowed himself to sleep on something like that. He had once been someone who lived in comfort, someone who valued cleanliness and dignity. But now, he was no longer the rich heir but a weak, exhausted, and broken prisoner.He no longer had the strength to care. So he lay there and slept, despite the discomfort.His prison mate, Dovan, sat nearby, watching him quietly. Dovan was a hardened man who had seen many criminals come and go, but Ethan

Hope

Ethan froze, disbelief rendering him completely silent as his mind struggled to process what he had just heard. Had the living Yama truly asked him to marry him? The words felt impossible absurd and unreal like something his broken mind had invented to escape the pain. He stared at Damien desperately, waiting for him to correct himself, to reveal that it was nothing more than a cruel joke. But Damien said nothing. His expression remained calm, composed, and terrifyingly serious, offering Ethan no escape from the reality of what had just been said.And suddenly, Ethan laughed.The sound was weak and unsteady, bordering on hysteria, and the movement sent sharp pain shooting through his ribs. Still, he couldn’t stop. The absurdity of the situation overwhelmed him completely. This man the most feared businessman in the country, the living Yama himself was standing in front of him, proposing marriage as if it were nothing more than a simple transaction.“You…” Ethan breathed between broken

Freedom

You just made the right choice,” Damien said calmly.He walked toward Ethan and extended his hand.Ethan stared at it. His eyes lingered on Damien’s hand, hesitation filling him at first.Slowly, Ethan reached out. His hand was weak as he placed it in Damien’s whose grip was strong and without hesitation pulled him up.The moment Ethan stood, his legs trembled violently beneath him. His body, weakened by torture and starvation, could barely support his weight. He staggered slightly, nearly collapsing, but Damien’s hand remained on him, holding him steady.Damien’s cold eyes scanned him briefly, observing his fragile state. His gaze dropped to Ethan’s trembling legs, and his expression hardened slightly.“You’ll slow me down,” Damien said.Before Ethan could react, Damien stepped forward and lifted him effortlessly.Ethan froze instantly, shock flooding his face. Embarrassment burned through him as he realized he was being carried.“W-what are you doing?” Ethan asked weakly, his voice fi

Kill Order

Ethan was awake the next morning as Anna knocked on the door. He quickly sat up and Anna entered. She greeted him good morning and told him to come downstairs for breakfast; she added that if he couldn't walk, she'd be glad to assist him, but he politely declined, saying he felt better that Dr. Richard attended to his injuries yesterday.Anna said, "Oh, no problem, but make sure you come downstairs to eat."Anna left later. Ethan then lied down back, feeling the soft bed. He said, "This is better than being in the cold cell."He went to shower and freshened up. He limped as he went down; his injuries had just started healing, but they were not fully healed. He saw guards stationed in the living room, their expressions tense and cold; neither of them even looked at him. Anna saw him and said, "Come, come."Ethan got to the dining and sat down. He was surprised at the different delicacies of food there. Anna laughed seeing his expression. She said, "Eat up, child. The food is all yours.

Summon

Ethan spent the entire day drifting in and out of sleep. The silence of the mansion was a jarring luxury compared to the screaming halls of Metropolis Prison. He was grateful to Damien ,he knew Damien had saved him but the mystery of Damien’s agenda loomed over him like a shadow, he may be naive but he surely knows that someone like Damien Blackwood wouldn't do anything for free. There was a reason he was considered a ruthless businessman.His thoughts kept drifting toward the life he’d lost. He was in his final year of business school when his life took a dark turn. He sat on the edge of the bed, his fingers itching for a textbook or even a phone. He was desperate to know what was happening in the outside world was the media still dragging his name through the mud? Was his uncle throwing a victory party? But he had nothing. No phone, no internet, only the four expensive walls of his new cage.A sharp knock at the door startled him. He scrambled to open it, expecting to see Anna’s kin

Valeigh

Ethan’s body froze. The air in the room felt like it had turned to ice, Damien’s warning ringing in his ears. It's true ,He had been getting comfortable too comfortable. He had forgotten, even for a second, that he was living at the mercy of this man.Ethan’s head dropped, his gaze fixed on the expensive rug beneath his feet."Look at me," Damien ordered. The voice wasn't loud, but it carried the weight of a command that couldn't be ignored.Ethan snapped his head up, meeting those storm-gray eyes."You don't have a reply for what I just said? Hmmm?" Damien’s eyes scrutinized him, searching for a crack in his armor. "What came to your mind just now? And don't say 'nothing.'"Ethan swallowed hard, gathering every ounce of courage to maintain eye contact. "I realized... I realized my life is at your mercy, sir."Damien didn't blink. He just stared, his gaze so cold Ethan felt flustered, his heart drumming a frantic rhythm against his ribs. Finally, Damien looked away."You’ve got it all

Press

Nathan stepped out of Stanley’s room, the heavy oak door clicking shut behind him. The air in the hallway felt tainted, thick with the smell of cheap cigars and the lingering tension of their plotting. He took a breath to steady himself, but as he turned, he froze.Standing in the shadows of the gallery was Norman. The youngest Vale looked small, his pajamas hanging off his frame, his face pale and etched with a fear that shouldn't belong to a boy his age.Nathan’s expression shifted instantly. The cold, calculating mask he wore for Stanley crumbled, replaced by a warmth he reserved only for this room. He crossed the distance in three long strides."What’s up, buddy?" Nathan asked, his voice softening. He let his hand fall onto Norman’s shoulder, a grounding weight. "Why the sad face?"Norman didn't look up immediately. He stared at his feet, his fingers twisting and picking at one another. "Nathan... how long is Uncle Stanley going to be here? I thought he was just staying for a few

Turned tables

The interior of the SUV was a silent vault, but inside, Ethan was a storm. His palms were slick against the fabric of his school trousers, and his heart felt like a trapped bird beating against his ribs. He had been informed that he was going to the press conference."Don’t say anything irrational," Damien’s voice cut through the silence, low and steady. "Your brother’s only weapon left is your temper. He will try to make you agitated. He will poke at the wounds but Keep calm."Ethan took a shaky breath, looking at Damien’s profile. There was something about the man’s absolute lack of fear that acted like an anchor. Suddenly, the frantic pounding in Ethan’s chest slowed. He no longer felt nervous, his nervousness evaporated, replaced by a cold, quiet clarity."Got it," Ethan said, his voice surpisingly firm.As the car glided to a halt at the curb of the Press Hall, the transformation in Damien was instantaneous. The weariness he’d shown moments ago the rubbing of his eyes, the slumpe

Oakwood

Damien got into the car, aware that Ethan was behind him. Earlier, he had spoken with Elijah and made it clear that Ethan was to be taken elsewhere after the press conference, Damien had other matters to attend to. When Elijah relayed this to Ethan, Damien caught the flicker of disappointment on his face. It made him wonder why Ethan would want to come along anyway. Damien knew he hadn't exactly treated the boy with kindness or made him feel special.He didn't drive off right away. He waited until Ethan's car had pulled away, then gave the order to Roger."Where to, sir?" Roger asked."Oakwood Graveyard," Damien replied.Roger started the car. Oakwood was far about two hours away. They arrived as evening began to settle. Damien's heart beat faster the closer they got. He stepped out of the car, and Roger followed, stepping out as well. Damien turned to him. "Where do you think you're going?""Boss, I'm following you. For security," Roger said.Damien's brows furrowed. "Get back in the

Meeting Kai

The kiss was hungry and warm , Damien's lips parted and his tongue slipped into Ethan's mouth, slow and teasing, tasting him while his hand tightened at his waist. For a second the kiss deepened, mouths moving together, heat building between them. Then the movement… stopped.The man who had just pressed his lips against Ethan's was now breathing steadily, his grip on Ethan’s wrist loosening as exhaustion finally claimed him.Ethan couldn't believe it, Damien had slept off, he was half amused and annoyed Ethan scrambled back, his heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs. He felt utterly ridiculous. He had just been kissed by the most feared man in the country, only for the man to pass out mid-act. He waited for a beat, watching Damien’s chest rise and fall, Carefully, Ethan extracted himself from Damien's grip. His heart pounded as he tiptoed to the door, checking the hallway before slipping out. The house was silent. Making sure no one saw him,He made it to his room, closed
