And there, in the middle of the ring, sprawled Hade, his massive body crumpled on the bloodied floor like something broken.

The blood beneath him had begun to dry, sticking to his skin, and every breath came with a jolt of pain so sharp it stole the air from his lungs.

He opened his mouth again, the words dragging over his tongue “P…p…please help. I…I can’t move my body.” The sound of his own voice terrified him. It was weak. Small. The voice of a man stripped of everything he once believed he was.

All it took was one punch. Just one. That single blow from Andrew had ended it all.

One punch… How is that even possible? The question echoed inside Hades' skull.

He had watched the fist coming—he had even smirked before it landed. He was sure he could take it. He’d taken hundreds like it before. Thousands. But this one… this one wasn’t just a punch.

His mind clawed for explanations, for reason, for anything that could justify the way his bones had shattered like glass under that blow.

    “Mr Baron , I am sorry, but the DNA test results came back negative” the doctor informed Andrew, his voice laced with sympathy. “ Which means I'm not Winnie’s father? Andrew asked, staring at the doctor with wide eyes , hoping that he'd refute what he had just said and confirm that it was a mistake. But —it never came. And for the first time ever , he was short of words, he opened his mouth to say something, but no words came forth . His heart was heavy with dread, and he could feel his heart banging against his chest. “Mr Baron , we've had similar cases in the past and most of them ended up being a case of paternity fraud” The doctor suggested, adjusting his glasses. “No, this is definitely not a similar case” Andrew countered, lost in thoughts. There is only one answer to this, he thought, using a white handkerchief to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead. He had found out that his 3 year old daughter had sickle cell anemia. It was shocking to him because

    Andrew froze, Lily's words sinking into his head. “ You were in possession of that bracelet” “How come you were not the girl who saved me!? “Answer me this minute !” Andrew yelled, his eyes flashing with rage, his deathly glare pinned on Lily. “Bracelet? Oh that?” Lily snorted disdainfully. She got up from the bed, and stood in front of the white vanity, tying her hair into a bun, she turned to face Andrew. "You know, when I first saw the mark on that bracelet, I thought it was a sign. A sign that you were special, that you were worth something. But I was wrong. So very wrong.” “ You are utter trash!” she yelled, glaring down at Andrew in disgust. Andrew clenched his jaw, his eyes filled with fury “I won't ask again, how did you get that bracelet! ” he asked, his tone cold and deadly. Lily let out a chuckle “Why don't you go ask that naive broke ass friend of mine, she will explain better to you” “ Friend?” Andrew thought, his mind swirling with confusion “ Oh,but I

    Chapter 4: Game on “That bastard is a cheater, because why would he agree to the divorce easily?”Lily complained, and for some reason, was disappointed and angry that Andrew didn't think twice before accepting the divorce. She had expected him to beg, and bawl his eyes out asking for a second chance, but he didn't, and that surprised the hell out of her. There was no other reasonable explanation she could think of, that made him agree to the divorce like that —if not, that he had been cheating on her. “I hope I don't see that hoe of his, because I'm going to teach them both a lesson” She threatened, picking up her phone from the bed. “Babe, come and see, your ex is getting into the latest range rover Prado ?” Mike called out , still peeping from the window, his gaze fixed on the car, till it went out of sight. “ Don't take that puppet seriously, he's probably a driver” Lily mocked, her eyes fixed on the phone in her hands. “Oh, I never thought of that, I thought he had graduat

    1 hour later, Andrew stood inside the tiny scattered room, he was sure this was the house his investigator had told him she stayed in. But what he was seeing now was different, the room looked like it had been deserted for months. And why was it unlocked? Did she move? Andrew thought of many possible answers to the questions he had, but he found none. Concluding that this was not the house, he walked out of the battered green building and dug out his phone from his pocket, about to call his investigator and scold for giving him a wrong address. “Poor girl, I doubt she would come out of that alive” a voice flew into Andrew's ear, and he paused in his tracks. He snapped his head to the direction and saw two women seated on a bench at the corner, and they weren't there when he had passed earlier. Heaving a sigh of relief, he approached them to see if he could get answers to his questions. “She was kind, she didn't deserve such a cruel fate” the first woman said,

    “You came right into a den of lion's !” The man snarled and raised his dagger to stab Andrew. In a swift move , Andrew snatched the dagger from the man and stabbed it right into his shoulder. “Owww!” The man groaned in pain, as he flung his wrist to Andrew's face, but before it could land. Andrew effortlessly launched a powerful kick into the man's stomach and he was sent flying a few meters away, like a bag of weightless grass. Silence befell the room once more as the men gawked at Andrew, their eyes wide open in shock. “You have just dug your own grave!” A man yelled, and the rest stormed towards Andrew. One by one Andrew dodged their weapons , his legs working hard in hard with his fists as he kicked and landed blows on any part of their body he came in contact with. The men yelped and groaned in pain as they sprawled on the floor, each clutching onto a part of their body that had been badly battered.

    “I will go against Hade!” a voice suddenly said from the crowd.The entire room held its breath. At once, all eyes snapped to the direction the voice came from. But what they saw left them stunned A man half of Hades' size was walking up to the ring.At once , every face, once filled with the thrill of the fight, immediately fell into disappointment. 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

    Hade tossed the head to the ground and let out a cruel cackle.“All hail Hades!” someone shouted from the crowd.And the crowd burst into reverence, praising and hailing Hades for doing what he knew how to do best.“Wow! 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

    Every head turned.Four giants entered, each holding a corner of a massive gold casket. Their faces were empty, eyes blank. 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
