"You just left me standing there, and now you’re here, partying with Morin? On our wedding day?"

Morin, who had been standing a little behind Anastacia, stepped forward then, his face tight with discomfort.

"Andrew, look—" he started, but Andrew cut him off with a glare.

"Shut up, Morin." Andrew's eyes burned with fury. "I don’t want to hear anything from you."

Andrew’s eyes narrowed. "So this is your way of running? You left me standing at the courthouse, waiting for you? I’ve been calling you, and you—" His voice faltered, his frustration boiling over. "Why didn’t you just talk to me, Anastacia?"

She looked up at him, her face softening, guilt and something else flickering in her eyes. "I thought if I just disappeared, you’d cancel the wedding. I thought it would force you to make a decision. She shrugged, as if it was the simplest thing in the world.

Morin looked down, his face flushed with discomfort, clearly avoiding Andrew’s gaze.

"Wait," Andrew’s mind was reeling. "You thought

    Anastacia swirled the alcohol in her party cup, her fingers gripping the middle a little too tightly. The dimly lit warehouse was perfect—noisy, secluded, and, most importantly, the last place Andrew would think of looking for her. That was the plan. She just needed to piss him off enough to make him back out of the wedding.Across from her, Morin leaned back in his chair, watching her with a smirk. “You really think he’s going to walk away from this marriage just because you act like a spoiled brat?”Anastacia rolled her eyes. “You don’t know Andrew like I do. He values his pride above everything. If I make him miserable enough, he’ll walk away.”Morin chuckled, swirling his whiskey. “You’re overestimating him.”She scoffed. “You’re underestimating him.”Just as she was about to take another sip, a familiar voice cut through the air like a sharp blade."Anastacia."Her heart stopped. Slowly, she turned her head, and there he was—Andrew stood there, dressed in a crisp black suit that

    The dim glow of Andrew’s study barely illuminated the ancient document in his hands. His fingers traced over the name.The Crimson Herb.A rare and powerful plant rumored to enhance strength and vitality. It was exactly what he needed.His phone buzzed. He answered.“I found it,” his investigator said. “The underground fight club. But it’s not just any fight—fighters battle to the death. The Crimson Herb is the prize for tonight’s winner.”Andrew leaned back in his chair, absorbing the information. “Where is it?”“Warehouse 17, under the old docks. But listen, there’s a problem.”Andrew raised a brow. “Problem?”“Cain.”A long pause.“Cain?”For eight years, Cain had been the undisputed champion of the underground club. His reign of terror had become a legend, whispered in hushed tones among the hardened fighters who dared to challenge his dominance. He was also known as “Hades of Death”. He was a force of nature, a whirlwind of destruction that left nothing but shattered bones and

    The steel cage door slammed shut behind him. Andrew rolled his shoulders, muscles tense, heartbeat steady.The crowd erupted into deafening cheers as the opposite door opened.Cain stepped into the arena. The man was a beast.Towering at nearly seven feet, his body was carved from raw muscle, covered in scars like war medals. His hands were wrapped in blood stained bandages, and his cold, lifeless eyes locked onto Andrew with pure, unfiltered hunger.He smirked, voice deep and gravelly. “You must have a death wish.”Andrew didn’t flinch. “You must be getting tired of winning.”Cain laughed, a deep, menacing sound. “Winning? No. Killing? Never.”The announcer stepped forward.“Ladies and gentlemen! The undefeated king of the underground faces a new challenger! Will Cain take yet another life? Or will this fool be the first to make him bleed?”The bell rang. The fight was on.Hade wasted no time. He lunged at Andrew with terrifying speed, his fist cutting through the air like a bullet.

    The air was electric with excitement. The crowd roared in disbelief, their voices merging into a chaotic symphony of awe and madness.“Andrew! Andrew! Andrew!”The once invincible Hade lay motionless on the ground, his bloodied body barely twitching. The undefeated warrior, the god of the ring, had been defeated in mere minutes. By an ordinary man.People pushed forward, eager to touch Andrew, to praise him, to declare him the new king of the underground arena. Money rained from the stands, bets overturned in a frenzy of celebration.But behind the bloodstained curtains, a storm was brewing. A man stood in the shadows of an inner chamber, his broad frame rigid with barely contained fury. His hands trembled, not with fear, but with pure, unfiltered rage. His teeth clenched so tightly it felt like they would snap.Aaron.No one in that room knew his true connection to Cain.No one knew that he was Cain's uncle. No one knew that Cain was the co-founder of this blood-soaked empire.For e

    The air shifted.A presence heavier than anything before settled over the arena.The audience tensed as Aaron stepped into the ring.Andrew studied him. Aaron was a mountain of a man. He dwarfed even Cain.His muscles, thick as steel, rippled beneath his crisp suit. His shoulders were three times broader than Andrew’s, his stance calm yet deadly.But it wasn’t just his size. It was his aura. A suffocating, unshakable force of dominance.People backed away without realizing it. Even the air seemed to bend around him.Someone in the crowd whispered.“Cain was strong… but Aaron? Aaron is a monster.”Another muttered, “Andrew should run. There’s no way—”Aaron rolled his neck, the sound of bones popping echoing through the quiet arena.“You ruined everything.” His voice was low, controlled—but filled with venom.Andrew remained silent.Aaron took a step forward. The ground shook beneath his weight.“This club? This empire? It was my retirement plan.” He smiled, but there was no warmth in

    The air was thick with the scent of blood and sweat. Silence pressed against the arena like a smothering hand, the only sound the ragged breathing of Aaron, the once-mighty grandmaster, now kneeling before the man he had sworn to kill. His massive shoulders trembled, his head bowed, his lips parted in desperate supplication.Andrew stood before him, his body bruised but unbroken. He had defeated Cain. He had slain fifty of the best fighters in the club. And now, Aaron has fallen too.It felt unreal.Aaron, the monster, the legend that loomed over this underground empire, was on his knees.Andrew didn’t move. His gaze, sharp as steel, bore into the man before him. Every instinct screamed at him. This was wrong. Aaron wasn’t the type to beg. He wasn’t the type to break.And yet—here he was.“I’ll tell you,” Aaron gasped, his voice hoarse, raw with defeat. He lifted his gaze, eyes gleaming with something unreadable. “I’ll tell you where the real Crimson Herb is.”Andrew said nothing.He

He hated the waiting. The unknowns. His pulse quickened. Time was never on his side.The door to the back office swung open, and a young man stepped out. He glanced briefly at the others in the waiting room, then locked eyes with Andrew. His expression shifted immediately—respect, recognition. Andrew held his breath for a second, then stood up. He could feel the eyes of the others on him, but he didn’t care. Not now.The assistant cleared his throat, smiling in a way that didn’t quite reach his eyes. "Mr. Aaron’s man?" he asked.

It.It felt as if they’d just been robbed of a thrill they were promised.Mtchewww. A scoff tore from someone’s lips before they could help it. The excitement that had just begun to bubble inside them dried up instantly. They were expecting a clash of monsters. A challenge that could make the air crackle and the blood stir. But now, all they got was this… ant.“I was about to get excited,” a man muttered beside the ring, his voice laced with irritation. “Before I saw the insect that dared to say he could stand up against Hade.”A wave of disdain swept through the crowd.“Does he think this is child's play?”“He’s not even meat for Hade

    He snatched the mic from the moderator, his chest heaving with confidence.“I have one thing to say tonight,” he roared. “I will prove y’all wrong! I will defeat the undefeatable!”The audience cheered him on, laughed and clapped and screamed his name, not because they believed him, but because they were hungry for another show, another limb, another scream to feed whatever dark craving they carried in their hearts.Andrew looked at the man—Anano—and wondered what had made him say yes to this fight, wondered if he had a family, if he was fighting for money or pride or if he simply didn’t care whether he lived or died anymore, because sometimes a man says yes to death not out of bravery but out of silence.Everyone expected Hades to say something too, as he usually did before his bloodbaths, but what he did next sent a wave of shock across the room, though it faded quickly and was swallowed by more cheering.Without warning, Hade charged toward Anano, taking him and everyone else in th

This is exciting!” a man yelled, his voice trembling not from fear but from some wild kind of joy, as if he had just witnessed a miracle and not a murder.“He did that in seconds!”“I knew it! Hades is undefeated!”“Only one undefeatable Hades!”There was nothing exciting about what Andrew just saw, and the scene irked him in a way that crawled beneath his skin, like insects gnawing at his insides with sharp teeth made of guilt and fury, because what he had witnessed was not a fight, not even sport—it was a public execution and still they all cheered.He tried to blink the image away—the torn flesh, the severed head lying like garbage in the blood-soaked ring—but it clung to the inside of his eyelids like a second skin, and no matter how hard he tried to breathe thro

They moved slowly, as if under a spell.The casket gleamed in the red light as they carried it to the ring and set it down.Suddenly, darkness enveloped the hall. All lights died in an instant.The crowd gasped. Some screamed. A few chuckled nervously.Then came the sound. A low, unearthly roar that crawled along the spine like insects.It wasn’t music. It was something deeper. Older.Andrew stood still, breathing slow . His body was tense, but his mind was sharper than ever.And then the lights snapped back on.And there he was.Standing exactly where the casket had been.Hades.Seven feet of living nightmare.His chest was bare, covered in black ink—symbols Suddenly, darkness enveloped the hall as the lights cut off all at once.

    The next day, Andrew set out for the Shadow Furnace. He didn’t know what to expect. But he wasn’t turning back. He drove in silence as he headed to the address his investigator had given him . After a few hours , he arrived at a lonely path surrounded by silence. No signposts. No lights. Just a one-storey building deserted in the middle of nowhere . Andrew's breath fogged slightly as he parked. The wind outside was cold, but he didn’t shiver. His body was too tense, too wired to feel the air. But something about it felt alive. Breathing. Watching. He walked toward the door. Two guards stood on either side, faces like stone. One held out his hand. Andrew didn’t speak. He simply passed the ID he’d been given—no name, just a symbol. The man looked at it once, then handed him a black mask. “Keep it on at all times,” he said. Andrew nodded. A third man appeared, tall and lean, dressed in all black. He said nothing as he turned and began walking. Andrew followed. They wal

    After the court marriage with Anastacia the day before, Andrew’s fingerprint was finally added to the Ashton family system.The next day, he set out to get the documents from the vault .As Andrew reached the metal door . The scanner recognized his print without hesitation. The soft green light blinked, then the heavy glass doors slid open. No alarms. No questions. The guards at the front simply nodded and stepped aside, like he had always belonged.The hallway leading to the vault was quiet. Cold. He could hear his own footsteps echo off the marble floors.He glanced up at the tall portraits lining the walls. Proud men. Blank-eyed. All with the same jawline. The same tight mouths.The vault was where Roman kept the things that mattered. Not jewelry. Not money. But papers. Documents. Truths.Andrew stood before the second scanner. This one was different.Only one man had access here.He pulled out the small case from his coat pocket. Inside, the rubber mold of Mr. Ashton’s fingerprint

    Andrew’s gaze settled on Morin, flat and emotionless, as though he were already tired of the conversation, as though he hadn't just been threatened.“I don’t have any business with you, Morin. If you don’t tell me where Anastacia is, you’ll be the one choosing which limb to lose.” His voice was quiet. Cold and detached.Morin tilted his head and smiled as if Andrew had just told a joke. “You sure do have lots of guts. But I don’t know of what help that would be to you today.” He pulled a folded sheet of paper from the inner pocket of his jacket, flattened it on the glass table between them, and slid it forward. “Here. This is an undertaking.”Andrew didn’t look down. His eyes stayed on Morin’s face, his expression unreadable.“I’m going to propose this to you as a gentleman,” Morin continued, his voice dripping with mockery . “Sign this and walk away with the five million dollar check. Or…”“Or what?” Andrew snapped, his tone sharp and full of disdain. “I thought I made it clear I’m n

    Morin looked away, then back at Anastacia , calm as ever. “I invited some friends to take care of him.” Anastacia’s stomach dropped. “Friends?” “Can you go straight to the point?” She snapped, her voice rising in frustration. Morin's confidence oozed from every fiber of his being as he leaned in close, his voice smooth and laced with a touch of amusement. "Don't worry about that, babe. After I'm done with him, I’ll make sure he signs an agreement to cancel the wedding and leave Jashem City. That way, he won’t be an obstruction to our wedding again." His eyes gleamed with a mischief , his mind already plotting the next steps. Anastasia’s brows creased as she tilted her head slightly. There was something off about the way Morin spoke—too certain, too smooth. “How do you plan on doing that? You were the one who just said how stubborn he is.” Morin exhaled, a heavy sigh escaping his lips, as if she were asking the simplest question in the world. He wrapped his arms around her waist, p

    The next day came too quickly. It was supposed to be the day of Anastacia and Andrew’s court wedding. After what happened yesterday, the Ashton family had no more excuses. Andrew had done everything they asked . Now it was their turn to keep their word. But Anastacia still hadn’t changed her mind. She didn’t want the wedding. Not to Andrew. Not under these terms. Yet everyone was moving ahead as if her feelings didn’t matter. Andrew stood outside the courthouse, glancing around with restless eyes. His heart beat a little faster each time someone entered the building, but it was never her. He checked the time again. Still nothing. He called her. Straight to voicemail. Again. His jaw clenched. Something was off. She wouldn’t just vanish. Not on today of all days. He dialed again, pacing. "Pick up. Come on, just pick up." Then his phone rang. It was an Unknown number. He answered quickly. “Hello?” “If you want to see Anastacia alive,” a voice said, cold and unfamilia
