Chapter 91
Luis stood at the edge of the penthouse balcony, staring out at the city that sprawled beneath him like a living, breathing organism.The beast he had fought so hard to control, the one he had bled for, was still hungry. Always hungry. Even now, with the empire in his hands, he could feel the pulse of it beneath him.The constant power struggle, the endless game of dominance and submission.But something had changed.The victory no longer tasted sweet. The power he had sought for so long felt burdensome, like a weight on his chest. The fires that had once fuelled his ambition now felt like they were burning him from the inside out.And as he stood there, watching the city’s lights flicker beneath the night sky, Luis wondered if he had given too much of himself. If there was anything left.Maria’s presence was behind him, her silent support always a constant. He didn’t have to turn to know she was watching him, studying him. She could feel the shift in him too. The tension between them

The days that followed Luis’s revelation felt surreal like they were moving through a dream where everything was too quiet, too calm.The storm had not yet broken, but Luis could feel it building on the horizon. He had decided to walk away, to burn down the empire they had built. And yet, there was something inside him that resisted, something that whispered, "Stay."Maria had grown more distant, her mind occupied with logistics and the careful dismantling of the empire. She had always been a strategist, always thinking several moves ahead.But now, even she was uncertain about what came next. Once they left, there would be nothing. No power, no control, just the unknown.“You’re still thinking about it,” Maria said one night as they sat in the penthouse, the city glowing beneath them like a battlefield waiting for the next strike.Luis didn’t deny it. The city never stopped calling, even when you wanted to leave.“I am,” he admitted, his voice quiet. “It’s not as simple as walking aw

The city was teetering on the edge of chaos, and Luis could feel it.Each call that came through his phone confirmed what he already knew: the empire they had built was unravelling, piece by piece, just as they had planned. The Southside was destabilised. The dockyard had fractured.The Eastside was already a battleground for rival factions, all of them scrambling for what remained of the territory Luis and Maria had left behind.Everything was falling apart, and for the first time, Luis wasn’t trying to stop it.Standing by the window of the penthouse, Luis looked out at the city. Even now, as it devoured itself, the lights shimmered beneath the dark sky, still beautiful, still alluring.It had taken him years to understand that the city wasn’t just a place—it was a living thing, a beast that demanded sacrifice. And he had sacrificed plenty.Maria’s heels clicked against the marble floor as she crossed the room, a tablet in her hand. She stopped beside him, handing over the latest re

The night was unusually quiet, the city lying still beneath a sky heavy with clouds.Luis stood at the edge of the penthouse balcony, looking down at the streets below. It was the calm before the storm, the eerie silence that always came before something big. And tonight, something big was going to happen.Maria moved behind him, her footsteps soft but deliberate. He could feel her presence without turning around, her sharp focus like a knife slicing through the night air. She was ready. They both were. Everything they had planned was in motion now, and there was no stopping it.“They’ll start noticing soon,” Maria said, her voice low. “Once the first assets go dark.”Luis nodded, his hands resting on the cool railing. The city felt different tonight like it was holding its breath, waiting for the first crack in the foundation to appear.“It won’t take long,” he replied. “Once they realise what’s happening, the panic will spread.”He could already picture it—the chaos, the confusion.

Chapter 95
The city was on fire.Not literally—yet. But in every corner, in every backroom deal and shadowy exchange, the first embers had been lit. The dockyard had fractured. The Southside was crumbling under the weight of its infighting. And the Eastside, always the most fragile, was now a battleground for every crew with an ounce of ambition.Luis watched it all from a distance, a small part of him savouring the chaos. It was like watching dominoes fall, each one triggering the next in a beautifully orchestrated collapse. It was the result of years of work, years of building power, and quietly dismantling the competition from the inside out.Now, as the city tore itself apart, all Luis had to do was wait.“They’re starting to panic,” Maria said as she handed him another report, her voice calm despite the growing turmoil outside. “We’ve got crews turning on each other, businesses folding overnight. The Southside’s looking to Miguel for answers, but he’s in too deep.”Luis scanned the report,

The plane waited in the shadows, sleek and silent, its engines humming faintly under the moonlit sky.Luis and Maria moved through the dark. The final remnants of the empire they had built crumbled behind them. The city was still burning, its lights flickering like dying embers, but they were already gone. They had walked away from the life they had fought so hard to control, leaving it behind without a second glance.Maria’s heels clicked softly on the pavement as they approached the car that would take them to the airport. Their escape was meticulous; every step was planned to perfection. No traces, no signs of hesitation.But despite the precision of their departure, Luis felt something inside him shifting. There was a weight that clung to him, even as they prepared to leave everything behind.“We’re doing this,” Maria said quietly, more to herself than to him. Her tone was cool, and measured, but there was something beneath it—a hint of disbelief. Even she, as sharp and pragmatic

The town they arrived in starkly contrasted everything Luis and Maria had known.No sprawling skyscrapers, no flashing lights, no constant hum of chaos beneath the surface. The quiet countryside felt like another world, an escape from the fire they had left behind in the city. But as they moved through the small streets and settled into the new life they had planned,Luis couldn’t shake the feeling that the city was still with him, lingering in the back of his mind like a distant, fading nightmare.The house Maria had secured was on the outskirts of town, nestled among trees and far enough from the centre to provide the privacy they needed. It was a modest place compared to the luxury they had lived in before—no penthouse view, no high ceilings, just quiet.Maria, ever efficient, had already begun setting things in place. While Luis spent his time staring at the vast open space of their new surroundings, she was organising the details of their new lives. New names, new identities. It

The city emerged from the haze of clouds like a spectre—familiar yet distant.As the plane descended, Luis’s heart began to pound, not with fear but with something more primal—anticipation. The skyline stretched out in front of him, the towers glinting against the evening sky, each light flickering with a life of its own.This was the place that had shaped him, and no matter how far he’d tried to run, the city had never let him go.Beside him, Maria’s face remained unreadable. She stared out of the window, her expression locked behind a mask of cold calculation, but Luis knew better than anyone how much this moment meant to her.They had spent weeks pretending they could live a different life. But now they were returning to the only place that ever felt real to either of them.“We never should have left,” Maria said quietly, more to herself than to him.Luis didn’t answer. He knew the truth of it now. They weren’t meant for peace, for quiet lives in sleepy towns. They were creatures o

The meeting was set for the following night, but Luis couldn’t shake the feeling that time was running out.There were too many unknowns and too many variables at play, and while he trusted Bones to handle the logistics, Luis knew that control could slip away at any moment if they weren’t careful.Jaxon was a wildcard, someone who had appeared out of nowhere, taking advantage of the power vacuum they had left behind. And while Luis had dealt with men like him before, something about Jaxon felt different—dangerous in a way that was hard to define.As Luis and Maria prepared for the meeting, the weight of their decision to return hung heavily between them. They had left the city behind once, convinced that walking away was the only way to survive. But now that they were back, the stakes felt higher than ever.Maria adjusted the cuff of her jacket, her movements sharp and precise. She was focused and methodical, the way she always was before a fight. Luis watched her from across the room

The rain fell in heavy sheets as Luis and Maria’s car navigated the street.Their destination looms closer with each passing moment. The city was alive again, pulsing with the familiar rhythms of power, control, and danger that had once been their heartbeat.But this time, it wasn’t about reclaiming what was lost. It was about showing the city that they had never truly left.“Jaxon’s rattled,” Maria said, her voice cutting through the low hum of the engine. “He’ll be scrambling to figure out his next move. He didn’t expect you to walk back in like that.”Luis nodded, his gaze fixed on the city outside. “He’s inexperienced. He thinks brute force and intimidation are enough to hold the Dockyard. He’s wrong.”Maria’s eyes narrowed. “It’s not just the Dockyard, though. If we want control back, we’ll need to go deeper. Miguel’s been consolidating power on the Eastside, and there’s talk that he’s trying to make a move on the Southside too.”Luis leaned back in his seat, his mind already wor
