“Oh. You’re dead.” I bit my lip, trying—failing—to stifle a laugh. “I mean… you were looking a little dry.” Ace ran a hand through his dripping hair, then flicked the water off his fingers—directly at me. “You psychopath! Who the hell just yanks someone into a pool?” I grinned. “You looked too comfortable.” “Too comfortable?” he echoed, his voice rising. “I was standing, not lounging in a goddamn recliner! Now my clothes are drenched!"

They separated just as the elevator doors opened on Ace's penthouse level. Noah adjusted his shirt, his chest heaving quickly. "Catch you in the battle tomorrow, Mr. Rotherwell." Ace straightened his tie, yet his eyes shouted turmoil. "It isn't war," he whispered. "It's work that remains to be done." As Noah strolled off with a grin, Ace understood: he had returned to Noah’s realm. He was once more starting to lose himself. The empires had clashed. And everything would change forever. Now… “You didn’t need to return,” Ace remarked, as he poured himself a drink. Desiring the sensation of a burn.

The moment the door slammed shut, it was as if someone had popped the pressure valve in the apartment. The tension, thick enough to chew through minutes ago, dissolved into a flood of breathless laughter, relieved exclamations, and groans of secondhand embarrassment.

The room turned into a battleground between clashing egos and hidden grudges. Selena, caught in the crossfire, witnessed a side of Ace she had never imagined. His movements were fast, calculated, and deadly. The fight unfolds with a series of acrobatic dodges, sharp punches, and calculated strikes. When the dust settled, Ace stood victorious, Amanda defeated and her minions taken down.
