9 Chapters

Chapter 1

At our engagement party five years ago, I punched out a front tooth belonging to Jace, the personal bodyguard of my fiancée Elle.To get revenge for her lover, Elle planted fake evidence claiming I sold family secrets to a rival. She personally threw me into the dark family dungeons.The day I walked out of those cells alive, I ran right into Elle and Jace's wedding. Everyone thought I would shoot the place up. Instead, I boarded a flight across the Atlantic and vanished without a trace.Three years after my release and departure, my wife Quinn and I agreed to celebrate my birthday at the most exclusive club in the city. I arrived early, only to run head-on into an arrogant Jace."Oh? Look who we have here. Isn't this the once-glorious Mr. Cole? I haven't seen you in a few years. How did you end up looking so pathetic that you can't even afford a decent suit?"Jace's voice was loud, dripping with sarcastic malice.The entire club lobby went completely silent. All eyes turned toward us.

Chapter 2

Jace grew up in the slums of the lower city.The first time I saw him, he was only twelve years old.He was covered in dirt, hanging over a dumpster in a restaurant alley, digging for people's leftovers.I handed him the half-eaten sandwich I was holding. He snatched it and swallowed it in two bites like a starving wild dog.When I turned around to get into my car, Jace dropped to his knees at my feet. He grabbed onto my pant leg and refused to let go.I felt a trace of pity back then and brought him back to my turf.I treated him like a real brother, spending money to feed and clothe him until he was an adult.Later, I even elevated him to be a made member of the family, assigning him to be Elle's personal bodyguard.I never dreamed that the tiny bit of pity I showed back then would turn into the knife that pushed me into hell.A stray dog will always bite. You can never truly tame one.The person I spent all my resources protecting turned into a vicious stray dog. He was just a rat w

Chapter 3

That engagement party five years ago is still fresh in my mind.The champagne had just been poured. Just as the engagement ceremony reached its climax, Jace walked up to me holding a delicate velvet box.The box popped open, and inside lay a set of skimpy, black lace lingerie."A wedding gift for the bride-to-be," he said, the corners of his mouth curling up. "Miss Elle will surely love it."Whispers and giggles erupted around us.All the family elders and big shots present were pointing at me, the amusement in their eyes completely undisguised.Everyone was waiting for me to make a fool of myself.Jace obviously didn't think it was enough.He moved half a step forward and lowered his voice so only I could hear."So what if you're the family heir? You're still marrying a woman I've slept with.""You're just a weakling, Cole. A weakling who couldn't even keep another man out of his own bed."Before he finished speaking, he flashed his phone screen in front of my eyes.In the photo, Elle

I turned around coldly and looked toward the voice.She was wearing a burgundy evening gown. The blood-red ruby necklace on her neck was blindingly bright."You... where have you been all these years? Why didn't you come find me after you left the holding cells?"Her eyes grew red, and her voice trembled.But my face was expressionless, with no emotion whatsoever in my eyes.Seeing this woman I was once willing to protect with my life again, I realized there wasn't even a single ripple left in my heart."Where I go is none of your business, Miss Elle."Calling her "Miss Elle" so coldly instantly drew a line between us.Her eyelashes trembled, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.A flash of jealousy quickly darted through Jace's eyes."Ugh..."Jace immediately clutched his bleeding mouth and let out a timely groan of pain."What's wrong?"Elle suddenly snapped out of it and looked at him nervously.When she saw his face covered in blood and the front tooth on the floor, her expressi

Chapter 5

This terrifying fleet of cars made everyone in the room widen their eyes in pure shock.They had only ever heard of this level of a motorcade and the dark gold cross crest in the bloody legends of the underworld.The synchronized sound of car doors opening echoed.A row of men in custom black suits stepped out one by one. They wore dark gold cross pins on their chests, their footsteps as steady as a marching army.The man walking at the very front had a scar across his face and a ruthless, sharp gaze.It was Vance, the man secretly running the "Black Gold" high-end club.Don't be fooled by the fact that "Black Gold" looked like an expensive playground.The whole district knew that this place was the core business channel of the most powerful North American mafia family, "Cosa Nostra."Vance was a high-ranking Capo in the family who struck terror into people's hearts.Even those arrogant politicians had to politely bow when they saw him.When club manager Tony saw Vance appear, his eyes

Chapter 6

Don?The supreme ruler who controlled the entire underground order in North America according to the legends?On this land, no one was unaware of how unimaginably deep the power of the "Cosa Nostra" family ran, or how brutal their methods were.Not only did they control the largest smuggling networks, but they had also infiltrated the highest institutions of legal power.He was the absolute king of the underworld.A Capo like Vance was already a sky-high existence, but above him was the Don, who never showed his face.That was the true master of the family, but it was a name that only existed in rumors. To this day, no one had seen his face.This scene unfolding before them left everyone with their mouths hanging open, unable to make a single sound.The smile on Elle's face instantly froze like plaster as she stared at me in disbelief.These pieces of trash who once trampled me into the ground couldn't even dare to dream that a prisoner exiled by the family was actually the man standin

Chapter 7

Seeing the Commission's Enforcers enter the room, Jace assumed they were there to clear the place out for him. His spine instantly stiffened.He popped out from behind Elle, his eyes burning with venom."Cole, keep playing this mob boss act if you have the balls!""Now that the Commission's men are here, let's see how much longer a piece of garbage like you can keep pretending."He leaned in close to my ear and lowered his voice."Cole, I made you take the fall five years ago, and I can kick you right back into the lockup today.""This time, I guarantee I'll have the guys inside 'take good care' of you.""You got lucky last time and managed to crawl out alive.""It won't be that easy this time."Thinking back to those past events, I couldn't help but shudder.Back then, after Elle threw me into the family's most terrifying black site to cover for him, I was immediately swarmed by the thugs inside.I was deprived of sleep, pinned down on the cold, damp concrete floor, and beaten savagel

Chapter 8

I didn't care about Elle's threats. I just listened to them like a joke. I simply gave a half-smile, raised my hand, and pointed forward."There. That one hanging around his neck."Elle looked in the direction I was pointing. When she got a clear look at the heavy dark gold signet ring resting on Jace's chest, she visibly stiffened. Her eyes darted around in panic.It was obvious that this woman finally remembered.Five years ago, because I hit Jace at the engagement party.To get revenge for her pretty boy lover, Elle not only forged evidence to send me away to take the fall. She also used her numbers to forcefully rip that dark gold signet ring right off my body.That was the highest token of power passed down secretly through generations of Dons. As the daughter of a low-level Capo, Elle had no idea what it was. She just thought it was a valuable piece of vintage gold and casually tossed it to her dog, Jace."Jace had a scare, and pure gold is a good compensation for the shock. Cons

Chapter 9

Truth be told, before all this, I had planned to write off our past debts and never cross paths with those two ever again.But this pair of reckless fools just had to run their mouths and step right into my line of fire.Especially Jace, that rabid dog who bit his own master.Did he really think he could just dump all the dirty water on a woman and walk away clean?Fine, then I would play with them to the very end.The most extreme revenge to destroy a person is to annihilate the things they treasure most.What Elle cared about most was the glittering casino under her father's family and the highly profitable smuggling route at the docks.And what Jace cared about most was the power Elle's family provided to back him up.Over the years, Elle's family had been on top of the world on the East Coast.Because of this, Elle became increasingly arrogant and tyrannical.Jace, using her Capo father's name, was even more lawless, wreaking havoc wherever he went.Alright then, I was going to str
