CHAPTER 509
Kyle jerked back against the couch, his heart slamming into his chest.Gerald’s eyes blazed even hotter.“A pen went into his eye, Kyle. Deep. You’re telling me he just tripped and landed on it? That’s what you expect me to buy?”Kyle swallowed hard, his mind racing.He hadn’t expected Gerald to explode like that. He also hadn’t expected the truth to sound so much like a lie.“I—I’m not lying,” Kyle whispered. “It really happened like that—”Gerald cut him off with a sharp wave of his hand.“Enough. I’m not here for stories. I’m here for the truth.” He leaned in, his face inches from Kyle’s. “So stop trying to protect him. Stop being stupid.”Kyle’s breath trembled.He couldn’t tell if Gerald was furious… or testing him harder. Either way, the room felt smaller now. And Gerald’s patience? It was gone.Kyle’s fingers curled into the couch fabric, frustration breaking through his fear.“I already told you everything,” he said, his breath shaking. “I said what happened. What else do yo

CHAPTER 507
Present Time,Kyle was still lost in the memory of how he had been caught. Gerald was saying something in the background, but Kyle wasn’t hearing any of it. Instead, he was leaning back in the chair he had been placed in, his mind rocking back and forth.‘I should have hidden better,’ he thought, his chest rising and falling too fast, the room closing in around him.“KYLE!”Gerald’s voice cracked like a whip.Kyle flinched hard, jerking upright on the couch as if someone had slapped him. His eyes snapped to Gerald immediately, fear widening them.Gerald’s expression was no longer soft, as it had been when he told Kyle to calm down earlier. It was sharp now. He looked irritated and dangerous.“I said relax,” Gerald repeated, slower this time, his tone dropping lower. “You spacing out like that isn’t helping either of us.”Kyle forced himself to swallow, his throat tight, trying to drag himself back into the moment. His heart still pounded like he’d run miles. To Kyle, it would have
CHAPTER 506
It was then that the reality hit Kyle: he had been taken by Gerald. There was no way out. Gerald had locked him up, and he wasn't going to let him go.“I’m afraid no one here made a call,” Gerald said smoothly from outside. “My men were just visiting, and we heard nothing unusual. Maybe it was a prank? Kids in the area have been doing that lately.”The officer hesitated. “And you’re sure no one else is inside?”“Positive,” Gerald answered. “Feel free to look around.”Panic spiked in Kyle’s chest.‘No. No, no—they’re right here. I’m here!’He twisted hard in the cramped trunk, trying to slam his cast against the metal. His movements were limited; the space was too tight. He kicked, but his sneaker only thudded softly against the lining.He tried again and again.Thud.Thud.Thud.He screamed against the gag, but the words were muffled noises. Kyle wanted to kick harder, scream louder, do anything, but the gag and the tight trunk swallowed every sound he made.Outside, the police co
CHAPTER 505
The two men in front of the bikers froze, eyes wide, hands trembling around their guns.“Wh-who are you?” one stammered. “Are… are you with the Karishin family?”Rain stepped forward, calm and commanding, and his presence alone silenced the street.“No,” he said sharply. “This young master is not from the Karishin family. Step aside. Now.”The men exchanged confused glances, unable to process his words.“W-wait!” the taller one shouted. “We were sent by the Griffin family! You can’t just—”Before he could finish, Rain moved.One precise strike to the man’s side sent him sprawling.The other stepped in, trying to argue, but Rain’s clean, hard hit slammed him down beside his companion.Tedmond watched from the backseat, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. His captors were falling before they could react.“Step aside,” Rain repeated, voice calm but sharp as steel. “Now, or you’ll regret it.”Groaning, bruised, the two finally scrambled out of the way with their hands raised.Rain signale
CHAPTER 504
Thomas sat down on the chair in front of a printer, sorting through papers and stacking them neatly.He had summarized everything he could and was getting ready to print it for Tedmond so he could read it later.Then, his phone started ringing.He frowned, glancing at the screen. He tilted his head, curiosity flickering across his face. ‘Who could be calling me?’Picking up the phone, he glanced at the caller ID, and it flashed: Rain.Thomas’s eyes widened. Rain. Rain was the leader of the guards he had personally asked to watch over Tedmond.The one man he trusted to handle things if anything happened.He quickly pressed the call button.“Rain? What’s going on?” he asked, a tinge of surprise in his voice.The man’s voice came through. “Sir… it’s the young master. He’s been attacked… and kidnapped.”Thomas froze, his mind catching up. “Kidnapped?!”“We had no idea he would be taken, sir,” Rain continued hurriedly. “We… we didn’t intervene in time. We weren’t sure if he wanted us to
