ALMIGHTY DOMINANCE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 40
Emily looked at Kurt, a frown forming on her face."Don’t talk to him like that," she said, her voice firm as she stood closer to Max."Max is more than deserving of being here, and you don’t get to insult him."Kurt couldn’t believe what he was hearing.Emily was standing up for Max? The same Max who had humiliated him?Before Kurt could say anything else, he felt a cold gaze fall on him."You really think you can be so careless, don’t you?" Johnson said, addressing Emily as if she were a child who had misbehaved."You’re standing up for someone like him? You should know your place."He smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. "I’d be careful, Emily. If you keep defending him, I might just let the Montgomery family know about your little... Rose family."Emily blinked, surprised by his sudden change in tone."What are you talking about, Johnson?" she asked, her brow furrowing in confusion."I’m talking about the Montgomerys and their cooperation with your Rose family," Johnson said, hi

Emily stood beside Max, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her dress as her brows knitted in worry.Leaning closer, she whispered, “Max, I’m worried. Johnson’s influence might ruin my family’s chances to collaborate with the Montgomery family. If that happens, we’re done for.”Max glanced at her, his calm demeanor unwavering.“Emily,” he said softly.“don’t let them intimidate you. The Johnson family doesn’t have the power they think they do. The Montgomerys make decisions based on merit, not petty games.”Across the room, Johnson, Amanda, and Kurt were watching them intently.Amanda’s lips curled into a smirk as she nudged Johnson.“Look at her,” she sneered.“Whispering to him like he can actually fix anything. It’s pathetic.”Johnson chuckled, adjusting the cufflinks on his tailored suit.“She’s panicking, just as she should. The Rose family is dangling by a thread, and it’s about time someone cut it.”Kurt, emboldened by Johnson’s presence, chimed in with a snide grin.“And Max

Kurt adjusted his tie nervously, trying to appear composed as he exchanged pleasantries with other attendees.Beside him, Johnson stood tall, his confident smirk unwavering.Amanda clung to his arm, her sequined gown shimmering under the golden light as her sharp gaze roved over the crowd.“This is it,” Kurt murmured to Johnson, leaning slightly closer.“Tonight’s the night we cement our families’ legacies with the Montgomerys. I can feel it.”Johnson chuckled, a deep and rich sound that oozed self-assurance.“Of course, it is. The Montgomerys know who’s worth their time. Our names are as good as guaranteed.”Amanda tilted her head, a sly smile playing on her lips.“Kurt, you’d better hope your family’s name isn’t buried in the lower tiers. It’d be a shame to see you listed with the D-levels.”Kurt stiffened, forcing a smile.“I assure you, Miss Amanda, my family has more than earned its place at the top. We’ve been working tirelessly on this.”Amanda’s smirk widened, her eyes glintin
ALMIGHTY DOMINANCE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 43
Amanda’s nails dug into his arm.“This has to be some kind of joke!”Kurt, too stunned to speak, simply stood there, his face a mask of disbelief.Max leaned closer to Emily, his voice calm but firm.“See? I told you they couldn’t touch your family. The Montgomerys recognize real value.”Emily stood frozen, her hands clasped tightly in front of her.Her heart raced, a mixture of joy and bewilderment flooding her.“How… how is this possible?” she whispered, almost to herself, her gaze darting toward Max.Max smiled gently, his expression calm and knowing.“Why not? Your family deserves it, doesn’t it?”“But S-level?” Emily’s voice trembled with emotion.“It’s the highest honor the Montgomerys have ever given. We’ve been doing well, but this… this is beyond anything we’ve imagined.”Max placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.“Perhaps someone finally saw your family’s true potential.”Nearby, Johnson and Amanda were still fuming.Johnson’s hands balled into fists, his face flushed wit

The banquet hall remained alive with chatter and murmurs about the Montgomery family’s unexpected announcements.Johnson’s phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket, its sharp buzz slicing through his storm of thoughts.Frowning, he stepped away from the crowd and answered it.“Hello?” he said cautiously.“JOHNSON KINGSLEY!” a thunderous voice bellowed from the other end.It was his father, the head of the Kingsley family, and he was livid.“What in the name of all that is decent have you done?”Johnson winced, holding the phone slightly away from his ear.“Father, I—”“Don’t ‘Father’ me, you glorified peacock!” his father roared.“Do you think the Montgomery family just forgot about us? No, you incompetent baboon, you’ve clearly done something to embarrass us!”"But father-"“Don’t you dare interrupt me, you spineless fool!” Harold roared.“I entrusted you with representing our family at the most critical event of the year, and you couldn’t even secure a measly B-level collaboration?Do
ALMIGHTY DOMINANCE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 45
Kurt stormed through the banquet hall, his face red with frustration and anger.The announcement of the Montgomery collaboration was still fresh in his mind, and the sting of embarrassment from the exclusion of his family burned deep.He had done everything right—or so he thought. The Rose family, with Emily at the forefront, had stolen everything from him, and he couldn’t stand it.Finding a quieter corner of the hall, Kurt quickly pulled out his phone, his fingers trembling as he dialed a number that he knew all too well.“Razor,” Kurt growled when the call was answered.The voice on the other end was rough, almost mocking.“Kurt, my favorite spoiled brat. What’s got you riled up today?”“I need a favor,” Kurt said, his tone dark.“I want you to teach someone a lesson. Emily Rose.”There was a brief silence before Razor’s deep laugh echoed through the line.“Ah, the little princess who got the S-level deal. I figured someone would want to take her down a notch. So, what exactly do y

Emily, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the evening’s events, excused herself and made her way to the restroom.She stood in front of the mirror, splashing water on her face, when the door creaked open.Emily glanced up and froze.Several men entered, their dark clothing and ominous demeanor starkly out of place in the elegant setting.“This is the ladies’ room,” Emily said sharply, her voice laced with both confusion and anger.“You’re in the wrong place. Leave, now!”The men exchanged amused glances but didn’t respond.Instead, one of them stepped aside, and a tall, intimidating figure emerged from behind them.His cold eyes locked onto Emily as a smirk spread across his face.“We’re not lost, sweetheart,” he said, his voice dripping with menace.“We’re here for you.”Emily’s heart skipped a beat as dread crept into her chest.“You’re insane,” she snapped, reaching for her phone. “I’m calling security.”She turned to leave, but the leader was faster.He grabbed her arm and pulled her cl
ALMIGHTY DOMINANCE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 47
Kurt’s lips curled into a sinister smile.“You know exactly what I’m talking about, Emily. You stole the Montgomery deal from me. That’s what you’ve done. And for that, you’re going to pay. Razor,” he added, turning his attention to the man in front of her.“Make sure she feels every ounce of it.”Razor’s eyes flared with dark amusement as he pocketed his phone and stepped closer to Emily.“You hear that?” he said, his voice thick with menace.“You’re nothing but a little thief who’s going to pay the price.”“I didn’t steal anything!” Emily snapped, her voice barely containing the fear building inside her.She was shaking now, but she refused to let them see her break.“I don’t know about any Montgomery deal. You’ve got the wrong person.”Razor’s lips twisted into a grin.“Liar,” he spat, and with that, he slapped her across the face, the sting exploding against her skin.She gasped, her head jerking to the side as the pain exploded across her cheek.Her heart raced, but she clenched

The bunker’s silence was suffocating.Max’s fingers hovered over the button, every muscle in his body screaming for him to end this.One press.One moment.Elliot’s empire—gone.Emily, bruised and breathless, rushed into the chamber first, Red Fang and Molly behind her.“Max!” she gasped, eyes darting between him and Elliot. “Do it. End this.”Red Fang, ever the pragmatist, cocked his gun. “Push the damn button, boss.”Molly’s gaze flickered to the mainframe. “We don’t even know what wiping it will trigger.”Max knew that.That’s why he wasn’t pressing it.Something wasn’t right.Elliot, bloody but smirking, watched him carefully.“You hesitate,” he murmured. “Smart.”Emily’s breath hitched. “Max, don’t listen to him.”Elliot’s smirk widened.“You think I built this entire empire just for it to collapse with me?” His bruised fingers tapped the device in his palm. “Go ahead. Destroy it. But you won’t be stopping anything.”Max’s grip tightened.“Then what am I stopping?”Elliot chuckle
CHAPTER 217
The bunker loomed before them, half-buried beneath ice and reinforced steel. The frozen wind howled across the tundra, but Max barely felt it.He could only see one thing.The entrance to Project Nemesis.Red Fang, Emily, and Orlov’s strike team flanked him. The Russian general’s men were hardened operatives, armed to the teeth.“Thermal scans show minimal movement inside,” Molly reported through the comms. “But that’s impossible. Elliot wouldn’t leave this place unguarded.”Max’s jaw tightened.“He’s waiting.”Emily’s hand hovered over her gun.“So what’s the play?”Max stepped forward.“No more tricks,” he said. “I go in alone.”The bunker’s inner doors slid open, revealing a massive, circular chamber bathed in dim, blue light.And at its center—Elliot.Standing alone, dressed in a black combat shirt, his expression calm.Waiting.“You made it,” Elliot said smoothly. “Was starting to think you’d given up.”Max stepped forward, muscles coiled.“No more games.”Elliot smirked.“No. J
CHAPTER 216
Max’s eyelids cracked open, and the first thing he felt was pain.His wrists were bound.His head throbbed.His breath came out in short, sharp bursts, the frigid air burning his lungs.The room was concrete and steel, dimly lit by a single overhead bulb.A black site.Siberia.He flexed his fingers, feeling the bite of handcuffs against his skin.Across from him, Emily and Red Fang sat in matching restraints, their eyes flicking toward him as he stirred.Emily’s lip was split. Red Fang’s knuckles were bruised.Max let out a slow, steady breath.Elliot had planned for this.And now?Now they were in his trap.The heavy door groaned open.A man strode in—tall, broad, and radiating pure military authority.General Dmitri Orlov.His icy blue eyes swept over them, calculating, judging.He stopped before Max, arms crossed.“I should execute you where you sit,” Orlov said in flawless English.Max didn’t flinch.“You’d be making a mistake.”Orlov’s expression didn’t change.“You are Maxwell

Max’s hands shook as he stared at the blinking red display on Emily’s chest.0:59He swallowed, forcing his mind to slow down.“Emily, don’t move,” he said, his voice tight.She held her breath. “Wasn’t planning to.”The bomb’s wiring was intricate, laced with a failsafe mechanism designed to detonate if tampered with incorrectly.0:45Molly’s voice crackled through the earpiece.“Max, I’m in the system—there’s a wireless detonation trigger, but I can’t hack it remotely. You have to disable it manually.”Red Fang’s tone was grim. “How much time?”Max exhaled shakily. “Not enough.”0:30His fingers moved with surgical precision, tracing the primary detonation circuit. One wrong move, and Emily would—No.Focus.Emily’s eyes locked on his. “Max.”0:15“Almost there,” he muttered.0:10Max found the kill switch—but it was wired to a secondary charge.Damn it.He had one chance.One cut.He sliced through the wire.0:03The countdown stopped.A sharp, piercing silence filled the room.Emi
CHAPTER 214
The skyline of Dubai gleamed under the desert moon, an empire of glass and steel stretching toward the heavens.At its peak stood the Desert Crown, a private skyscraper Elliot had turned into his personal fortress.Tonight, Max was walking straight into it.Max adjusted his collar, stepping out of the sleek black car that had been provided for him.No weapons.No backup.No second chances.Elliot had made that clear.The building’s penthouse elevator was already waiting.Red Fang’s voice crackled through the hidden earpiece.“You sure about this, boss?”Max stepped inside.“No.”The elevator doors sealed shut, carrying him into the lion’s den.The penthouse was a study in excess. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the glittering skyline, the city pulsing with unmatched wealth and power.And at the center of it all—Elliot.Sitting in a high-backed chair, dressed in a custom black suit, a drink in hand, smirking like he’d already won.Emily was nowhere to be seen.Max’s fists clenched.
CHAPTER213
The screen on Viktor’s phone lit up.A live news broadcast.Max turned his head slightly—and felt his blood go cold.His own face flashed across the screen.BREAKING NEWS:“Interpol confirms Maxwell Montgomery is in possession of a classified bioweapon. Global alert issued. Immediate capture or termination authorized.”Max’s heartbeat thundered.No.Elliot’s voice hummed through the line.“You see, Max… while you were busy looking for me?”The smirk was almost audible.“I made the world believe you’re the real threat.”Viktor gave him a mocking shrug.“Sorry, Max. It’s just business.”Gunfire roared through the abandoned warehouse, bullets sparking off rusted steel beams as Max dove for cover behind a stack of shipping crates. The acrid stench of gunpowder filled the air, mingling with the heavy scent of betrayal.Red Fang was already firing back, his rifle barking as he clipped one of Viktor’s men.But it wasn’t enough.They were outnumbered.And worse—Emily was gone.“Max, we gotta
CHAPTER 212
The abandoned warehouse smelled of gun oil and damp concrete.Max stood in the shadows, his eyes scanning every darkened corner. He knew better than to trust anyone in Elliot’s world—especially a man like Viktor Kazan.Viktor wasn’t just a weapons dealer. He was a kingmaker, supplying warlords, rogue states, and intelligence agencies with the tools to rewrite power structures.And now, Max needed him.Red Fang, standing beside him, kept his hand resting near his holster. Just in case.“I don’t like this,” Red Fang muttered.Max’s jaw clenched.“Neither do I.”A rusted door groaned open, and Viktor Kazan entered.He was a hulking man, dressed in a long military coat, his bald head gleaming under the dim warehouse lights. A scar ran from his temple to his jawline, a reminder of how many people had tried—and failed—to kill him.Behind him, two bodyguards followed, their expressions cold and unreadable.Viktor stopped a few feet away from Max, lighting a cigar.“You have some nerve, Montg
CHAPTER 211
Max sat in the dimly lit safe house, staring at the flickering monitor in front of him. The screen was filled with news reports, security alerts, and live footage of military convoys moving through major cities.Every government agency. Every intelligence network. Every law enforcement unit in the world.They were all looking for one man.Him.“Maxwell Montgomery is now the world’s most wanted fugitive,” the news anchor declared. “Following an attack on an Interpol cyber facility in Singapore, he has been officially classified as a global terrorist—”Max clicked the screen off.His jaw clenched.Elliot had played him perfectly.Red Fang paced the length of the room, his expression unreadable.“We can’t stay here,” he said. “Not for long.”Emily sat cross-legged on the couch, arms folded tightly against her chest. Her eyes flicked to the closed blinds.“The moment we step out, we’re dead,” she muttered. “Every security camera, every border checkpoint—hell, even private contractors will
CHAPTER 210
Max stood over Molly’s terminal, eyes scanning the empty data feeds. The endless networks, the financial grids, the black-market communication lines—Elliot had wiped them clean.His name was nowhere.His digital footprint, nonexistent.Max’s jaw tightened.Molly cursed under her breath, fingers flying over the keyboard. “This isn’t just some rich guy going off-grid—this is a complete system-level erasure.”Red Fang leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, his expression grim. “It’s like he was never even here.”Emily stood near the window, arms folded. Her gaze was distant, calculating.“He knew we’d come for him,” she murmured. “He’s already three steps ahead.”Max’s chest burned with frustration.Elliot hadn’t just vanished.He had left nothing behind.No shell companies.No offshore accounts.No former contacts willing to speak his name.It was as if he had rewritten the world to forget him.But Max knew better.Elliot wasn’t hiding. He was waiting.A New Power RisesRed Fang’s
