Her family. Her friends. Her career.Everything connected to Serena Owen would disappear after this funeral.It would be as if she had never existed at all.A bitter laugh escaped her.But before long, tears were streaming down her face.Serena covered her face and broke down, sobbing as all the pain and regret she had been holding inside finally poured out.She had no idea how long she cried.By the time she looked at the monitors again, the funeral was almost over.Serena wiped away her tears.This time, there was no helplessness or uncertainty in her eyes.Only determination.Something about her seemed different now.Even the bodyguard standing nearby noticed the change.Serena took several deep breaths and pulled herself together.Then she turned to him.“I want to see someone.”*Back in the chapel, only a few guests were still waiting to pay their respects.One of the younger guests had just stepped forward when the funeral home doors suddenly flew open with a v

The tests came back clean.Cole hadn’t taken any performance-enhancing drugs.The Owens found that hard to believe.People didn’t suddenly become that much stronger overnight.But he was tested again and again.Every result came back negative.With nothing to prove he had cheated, their superiors added one final round to the evaluation.This time, it was a field exercise.Cole was eliminated early after something went wrong during the exercise, and Ethan ultimately got the promotion.Cole was furious.But once the appointment became official, there was nothing he could do about it.So he swallowed his anger for three years.Then Ethan’s plane went down, and no body was ever recovered.Cole finally saw his chance.Except even with Ethan missing and presumed dead, the agency still refused to declare his position vacant.Cole had tried asking around, but he kept getting the same answer.Without a body, Ethan couldn’t be officially declared dead.Unless the family formally

Lucas didn’t waste any time.He went after Cole again, throwing another punch.Lucas had never had any formal combat training. He relied almost entirely on instinct and raw strength.And that strength was enough to make Cole struggle to stay out of his reach.Sweat gradually appeared on Cole’s forehead, wiping away some of his earlier confidence.But before long, Lucas realized something was wrong.Cole was getting stronger.A few moments ago, Lucas had still been able to overpower him through sheer strength.Now that advantage was disappearing.Cole’s attacks became more vicious, and there was easily twice as much force behind every punch and kick as before.Lucas frowned.Had Cole been holding back this entire time?It was the only explanation he could think of for such a sudden increase in strength.But that theory didn’t last long.Cole suddenly drove a straight punch toward Lucas’s face.A vicious smile tugged at his lips.Just looking at Lucas’s face, so similar t

“Cole Sullivan, you are seriously the most disgusting man I’ve ever met! I’d rather die than marry someone like you!”Seeing Cherrie’s face flush with anger only made Cole want her more.Cole wanted everything Ethan had.His position. His status. Even the woman who loved him.The job was already within reach.And Cherrie?Cole was convinced she would be his sooner or later.The thought made him even more smug.He looked her up and down with a shameless grin.“Cherrie, just stand there and watch. I’ll show you what happens to anyone who thinks they can take me on.”He never got to finish.A fist slammed into his face.Cole’s head snapped to the side.He hadn’t even seen the punch coming.Before he could recover, the man attacked again.This time, Cole reacted quickly and brought his arms up to block.But the moment they started trading blows, he realized he had seriously underestimated Cherrie’s bodyguard.The man was fast.Almost too fast to follow.Punch after punch

Lucas had seen the bodyguard with Cherrie several times before.Every time, the man had been covered from head to toe, with his face completely hidden.There was something mysterious about him, and Lucas had only grown more curious.Cherrie glanced at the man beside her, then quickly came up with an explanation.“You know how it is, Lucas. With my family background, there are always people who might try something. My parents worry about me, so they spent a lot of money hiring a private security contractor from overseas to protect me.“He’s professionally trained and has been through plenty of dangerous situations. Taking care of someone as arrogant as Cole was nothing for him.”Cherrie delivered the story so smoothly that it sounded perfectly reasonable.Lucas immediately understood.So that was it.He had never met anyone like that before, but he had seen enough online to know that highly trained private contractors could be extremely capable.The Jones family was powerful,
