‘I’m sorry, Lino, but as I've said, it’s your turn to give.’ Vivian, now awake and terrified, looked around in confusion. The room she was in was kind of dark and eery. Her eyes locked onto Kevin, recognizing him. “You… why am I here? Please, I need to go home.” In front of them, a man with long black hair sat on a throne, watching intently. He was known as Gray. “Mr. Craig, it seems this woman doesn’t trust you,” Gray said, his voice steady. “Who have you brought before me?” Kevin clutched Vivian’s hand firmly, ensuring she couldn’t escape. He hesitated before responding, “She’s important to someone who is also involved with us. His name is Lino. This woman is his wife, and she means a great deal to him. She’s also pregnant. Lino agreed to sacrifice her to ensure we achieve our goals.” “What?!” Vivian exclaimed, her confusion palpable. “Then why isn't he here?” Gray asked, his tone sharp. “He can’t be,” Kevin replied. “He’s busy. He's with the enemy and he can

Amber furrowed her brow, deep in thought as she tried to recall Lucian’s last name. “You know, now that I think about it, I have no clue what his last name is. I never bothered to ask, not even once. I’m drawing a complete blank.”Jakob blinked a few times, nodding slowly, though his expression was a mixture of confusion and unease.‘No, it couldn’t be that Lucian,’ he thought, scoffing at the idea. ‘Lucian’s a common enough name. What am I getting worked up over? There’s no way it’s him. Besides, that bastard’s been dead and buried. Who would’ve even cared enough to give him a proper funeral? Did he even have a family?’Jakob’s eyes darted around as his mind raced.Amber continued with a casual shrug. “Anyway, don’t sweat it. I’ll introduce you to Lucian soon enough. Once you meet him, you’ll see exactly why I’m head over heels for him.” She giggled, her mood light as she made her way toward the house.Jakob frowned at her words, staring after her.Inside the grand mansion, Amber hea

“Whoa,” Jace exclaimed, his amusement evident. “Why don’t I feel shocked? To be honest, I’ve always thought that bastard was a bit off. But don’t worry, boss; I’m at your service,” he added with a playful smirk before strolling out of the office. As soon as Jace left, Drake turned to Lucian, his expression a blend of curiosity and disbelief. “What was that all about? How come you didn’t fill me in on such a huge information? When did you find out about this?” Lucian took a moment, letting a stream of smoke escape from his nostrils before responding. “I’ve known for a while, but honestly, it doesn’t matter,” he replied casually. Drake nodded slowly, still feeling the irritation simmering beneath his surface. “But why did you decide to tell him? That unstable entity!” he shot back, frustration creeping into his voice. Lucian was busy marking off names on a list as he answered, “Watch your tone, Drake,” he said, casting a sidelong glance at him as he placed the cigarette back in

GANG HIDEOUTLucian remained in his office, scrolling through his phone. Every headline, every social media feed, seemed fixated with news of the upcoming wedding between the Winchesters and the Wellingtons.‘That money-grubbing mother-in-law must be over the moon,’ he thought wryly, shaking his head before setting his phone down on the desk.Leaning back in his chair, he stared at the ceiling, frustration building. ‘I have to bring William Craig down—and fast. The clients he stole from Godfather seem to love whatever he’s offering… but what exactly is it? William killed Godfather with a demon, eliminated every rival who stood in his way, and even attempted to use that same demon on me, meaning he has access to them. But how? Could he actually be a demon himself?’ Lucian pondered.Grimacing, Lucian poured himself a glass of scotch and took a long gulp.Just as he reached for his phone to call Jace, it buzzed with an unknown number on the screen.Curious, he answered, “Hello?”“Is this

Lucian walked toward the junkyard worker, who noticed him approaching and stepped forward, asking politely, “Can I help you with anything, Sir?” Lucian’s lips curled into a forced smile as he nodded. “Yeah.” Without warning, he launched a brutal punch that sent the man sprawling through the air. The worker collided with one of the nearby cars, his body crashing into it before he crumpled to the ground, unconscious and bleeding. “Damn,” Jace remarked, eyes wide with admiration. “I’ll never get used to how strong the boss is. I love it,” he added, mimicking the punch with a clenched fist. Drake, however, just scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief. Lucian entered the small building Ron had just exited. Inside, the room appeared plain—nothing seemed out of the ordinary at first glance. He shook his head, as he kept looking around. For someone who had been in the gang for so long, he knew there were things beyond what the eyes meet. Drake and Jace followed him in, their eyes swee
