The air was filled with uneasy murmurs as the tension in the room grew more tense . Morin stepped forward, his jaw clenched, his polished shoes echoing against the marble floor. “l’ll give you one last chance to back out," he hissed, his eyes cold. "Drop that foolish demand of yours and walk out of this place with your life intact. But if you persist ,don't blame me for what becomes of you” Morin sneered , his eyes brimming with anger and venom Andrew stood unfazed, his hands in his pockets, his posture relaxed yet commanding. A faint smirk curled his lips as he met Morin's glare head-on. "Back out?" Andrew said, his tone calm but laced with coldness . "If anyone should reconsider, it's you. After all, I'm just a nobody, remember? A man whose life holds little value compared to yours—an heir to the Coins family, with all its wealth and influence. It would be such a shame to see someone with a 'bright future' throw it all away so recklessly." Andrew taunted casually Morin’

An uncomfortable silence sat between Andrew and the young girl , as he drove through the empty streets. Ever since she got in the car ,she hadn't said a word .She sat curled in the passenger seat, arms wrapped tightly around herself, her body trembling despite the warmth of the car’s heater.Andrew stole a glance at vulnerable state , his chest constricting with pity .She looked so young and vulnerable . Her lip was split, her cheek swollen, dark bruises blooming along her arms. Her bare feet were caked in dirt, her thin dress torn in places. She looked fragile and torn .He exhaled sharply, focusing back on the road. He had no business getting involved. He had his own war to fight, his own revenge to see through. Yet, something in him refused to look away.“They won’t stop,” she said suddenly, her voice barely above a whisper.Andrew turned to her. “What?”“They’ll keep looking for me,” she murmured. Her fingers dug into her arms, nails pressing against bruised skin. “They always

When they reached his home, she hesitated before stepping inside. The space was cold, modern—clean lines, expensive furniture, nothing personal. It looked lived in, but barely. He grabbed a first-aid kit from the bathroom and handed it to her. “There’s food in the kitchen. Clothes upstairs. Bathroom’s yours.” She nodded, clutching the kit like a lifeline. Andrew pulled out his phone, stepping into the hallway. He scrolled through his contacts and dialed Benita’s number . She was the only one he could trust to take care of the girl ,while he settled scores here in Jashem . He pressed the call button. It rang twice before a sleepy voice answered. “Hello, Andrew," “I need you in Jashem City tomorrow ,Benita ” Andrew said. Benita’s eyes flew open ,the sleepiness vanishing instantly “ Andrew, what's going on? Are you okay ?” she asked ,her voice laced with a hint of panic “I'm okay. I’ll explain when you get here.”Andrew reassured her. Benita heaved a deep sigh “Ok, I
