Get Ready For Allvar Falck's Ruthless Return 102
102Derek blinked, confused. "What the hell happened to you guys?"Hawk chuckled, the sound low and menacing. "Let’s just say Allvar wasn’t as defenseless as we thought."Derek’s heart skipped a beat. "You’re telling me he did that to you?"Hawk’s eyes darkened.The three thugs circled Derek slowly, their bruised faces twisted in anger. Hawk stood back, arms crossed, watching with a smirk as Derek tried to mask his growing fear."Look, I paid you guys. What else do you want?" Derek demanded, his voice shaky despite his attempt to sound confident. He took a small step back, trying to create distance, but the thugs closed in.One of them, the one with the gash across his cheek, pointed a trembling finger at Derek. "You sent us on a damn suicide mission!" he snarled, his voice filled with frustration and pain. "Allvar beat us like we were kids. Like we didn’t even stand a chance!"Derek blinked, stunned. "Allvar?" he echoed, confused. "No, no, that’s impossible. He’s not—he’s not even th

103Derek swallowed hard, his eyes flicking between the men surrounding him, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. "I already paid you," he snapped, trying to sound more confident than he felt. "This wasn’t part of the deal!"Hawk took a deliberate step closer, his face a mask of irritation as his men tightened the circle around Derek, a mix of smirks and scowls on their faces. “Really?” Hawk’s voice was a low growl. “Because I don’t remember you mentioning that Allvar was some sort of MMA fighter or whatever he’s turned into.”Derek’s fists clenched, a tremor running through his hands as he struggled to keep calm. "I didn’t know," he muttered defensively, though he could hear how feeble his own words sounded. "I thought he was just a—""A smug little bastard?” the thug with a scar down his cheek interjected with a mocking sneer. “Yeah, we got that part. But you forgot to mention he could snap bones like twigs. We weren’t exactly prepared for a fight."“I didn’t know he could fig

104Derek’s palms were clammy, his pulse racing. He wasn’t sure which scared him more—Hawk’s cold, predatory expression or the unsettling realization that Allvar was a bigger threat than he’d imagined.“So what do you want?” Derek demanded, his voice edged with frustration and desperation. “You want more money? Or something else?”Hawk’s grin widened, a dark glint in his eyes. “Now you’re getting it.” He crossed his arms, his tone turning casual as he considered Derek. “You’re gonna pay us triple. And this time, we’re gonna need some insurance. That way, if Allvar decides to go Rambo on us again, we’re covered.”“Triple?” Derek’s voice nearly cracked. “Are you serious? I don’t have that kind of money just lying around!”The thug with the scar stepped forward, cracking his knuckles with a menacing grin. “Guess you’ll have to get creative, Derek. Because if cash isn’t an option…” He chuckled darkly, “We’re more than willing to work out a different arrangement.”Derek’s gaze darted aroun

105“Please, Hawk!” Derek’s voice was barely above a whisper. “Just—just a few more hours. I can get the money. I swear.”Hawk tilted his head, a cruel smile playing on his lips. “See, Derek, the thing about promises is… they don’t mean a thing to me anymore.” He looked over his shoulder at his men, who were waiting, fists already clenched. “Time for you to learn what happens when you mess with me.”“No, wait!” Derek pleaded, but Hawk snapped his fingers.A fist drove hard into Derek’s stomach before he could say another word. He doubled over, gasping, barely managing to raise his head before another blow cracked against his jaw, sending him staggering. His knees buckled, and he dropped to the ground, vision swimming.“Still think you can get it tomorrow?” Hawk taunted, crossing his arms as he watched Derek struggle to stand. “Or would you rather make it right now?”Derek held up his hands in a shaky surrender. “Alright! Alright, I’ll get it,” he wheezed, pain searing through his ribs

106"Listen up," Hawk growled into the phone, his voice dropping to a dangerous calm. "If you’re really Derek’s friend, you’ll help him out. Because if you don’t…” He let the threat hang in the air, letting Ethan fill in the blanks.A heavy silence lingered before Ethan’s voice crackled back, icy and controlled. “Are you seriously threatening me right now?”Hawk chuckled, a low, menacing sound that sent a chill through Derek. “No, I’m promising. Now, are you going to help him or not?”Derek stood there, trying to keep his breathing steady, his gaze fixed on Hawk’s expression—a smirk that screamed danger. He wished he could say something to ease the tension, but Hawk’s glare pinned him in place.Ethan’s tone turned even colder. “Put Derek back on the phone.”Hawk rolled his eyes, thrusting the phone at Derek with a sneer. "You better hope he’s got good news," he muttered, his tone dripping with mockery. "Otherwise, you’ll be seeing the wrong end of a shovel."Derek took the phone, his

107Derek’s phone, tucked away in his pocket, rang once again. The sudden sound caught him off guard, and before anyone could stop him, he swiftly pulled it out and answered. His heart was already pounding, but the tension in the air multiplied as he heard Ethan’s urgent voice on the other end.“Derek, I just tracked your location through the phone. Do you realize where you are? This place is crawling with Hawk’s men. I’m sending someone—”“No, Ethan!” Derek hissed, his voice a panicked whisper. “If you send anyone, Hawk’s guys will—”But he didn’t even finish before the unmistakable sound of screeching tires filled the warehouse, freezing everyone in place. Derek’s stomach dropped. He could only watch, dread building, as two black SUVs rolled up outside, their headlights casting an intense glow through the dusty windows. His mind raced with possibilities, each one worse than the last. Hawk’s rivals? The police? Or something even more dangerous?Hawk’s expression darkened, twisting wi

108Derek looked down, a wave of shame washing over him. "I... I didn’t mean for any of this to happen," he stammered, barely able to meet Grayson’s eyes.Grayson’s expression was colder than Derek had ever seen. “Didn’t mean for it to happen?” He scoffed, crossing his arms. “Do you have any idea how many strings I had to pull to get you out of that mess? You think I enjoy cleaning up after you, Derek?”Derek flinched, his left arm hanging limply at his side from the beating he’d taken. “I know, I messed up,” he mumbled, shifting uncomfortably. The pain in his leg throbbed with each tiny movement.“Messed up?” Grayson’s voice was low, almost a growl. “This stunt…” He leaned in closer, eyes cold and piercing. “Do you have any idea what your father’s going to do when he finds out?”Derek opened his mouth to reply, but no words came out. The fear gnawed at him, and the memories of Hawk’s men roughing him up flashed across his mind. His mouth opened, closed, then opened again. “I… I didn’

109As Derek and Grayson stepped into the grand foyer of the estate, the towering silhouette of Victor Hawthorne loomed at the top of the staircase, his gaze piercing. His jaw clenched in visible anger, and the sound of his shoes echoed as he descended each step."Derek," Victor's voice was a low, furious growl. "What were you thinking?" He stopped inches away, eyes cold and unforgiving. "After I specifically warned you."Derek shifted uncomfortably, unable to meet his father’s gaze. "Dad, I—"Before he could finish, Victor’s hand swung across his face, the slap echoing through the hall. The impact sent Derek stumbling back, pain flaring in his already bruised cheek as he crashed against the marble floor. His injured leg throbbed, and his arm pulsed with agony.Victor didn’t flinch, watching his son crumple to the ground with a look of disgust. "Look at you," he sneered. "Injured and pathetic. How do you think you’re going to show up at the party this weekend like this?"Derek struggl

252Lily’s heart pounded in her chest, her eyes scanning the crowded room. The laughter and chatter of the guests around her felt like a distant echo, her mind fixed solely on one thing—Allvar. He had promised to bring the antique clock, the one she’d been dying to give her grandmother, but with every passing second, her anxiety mounted. What if he didn’t show up? What if he had forgotten?Her gaze swept over the guests again, her fingers twitching at her sides. She tried to calm her breath, but the tightness in her chest grew. Where was he?"Relax, Lily, he’ll be here," she whispered to herself, though the reassurance felt hollow.But as if to mock her thoughts, a voice broke through the noise, sharp and unmistakable. Tobias."Still waiting for that prince charming, Lily?" he drawled, his voice smooth and condescending. Lily stiffened, her back straightening in defiance as she turned to face him."Tobias," she said with a strained smile, her tone icy. "I told you already, stay away f

251**The Next Day** Allvar adjusted the frayed scarf around his neck as he stepped into the crisp morning air. Dressed in faded jeans and an old jacket, he looked more like a man who’d wandered off the street than someone of his stature. It wasn’t often he dressed down—his position demanded a certain level of polish—but today, he needed anonymity. If the antique dealers knew who he was, the price of the clock he sought would magically triple. His goal was clear: find a vintage clock for Lily’s grandmother. He had promised to deliver something special, and Allvar never went back on his word. But as he stepped into the first shop on the narrow, cobbled street, he realized this task might be trickier than he’d imagined. The bell above the door jingled as Allvar entered, and a wiry old man behind the counter greeted him with a suspicious squint. The shop smelled of aged wood and dust, the shelves cluttered with trinkets and relics that seemed to groan under their own histories. “

250---**Later that evening** Allvar’s office, usually a picture of order and control, was abuzz with unease. Clarabelle paced, her sharp heels clicking against the marble floor as she barked instructions into her phone. “I don’t care how long it takes—trace the source of those logs. Every server. Every access point. I want answers *now.*” Falck watched her silently from behind his desk, his sharp gaze narrowing as he considered her. Despite her loyalty, the evidence against her was too precise, too perfect. It wasn’t her style to leave loose ends. “Clarabelle,” he said finally, his tone calm but loaded with meaning. She ended the call and turned to him. “Yes?” “Do you think I’m a fool?” Her expression faltered for the briefest moment before she schooled it into neutrality. “Of course not.” “Then explain why someone is going to such great lengths to frame you,” he continued, standing and walking around the desk. “Why you, of all people? There are others in my organiza

249Two days later,The cell door buzzed open, and Mrs. Abbott stepped out, flanked by two guards. Her movements were sharp and deliberate as she adjusted her blazer, her fiery determination evident. Jake and Edgar followed closely behind, their expressions a mix of confusion and relief.“How…?” Edgar finally stammered. “How are we out?”Mrs. Abbott smirked, her confidence fully restored. “Did you really think I’d let Falck win without a backup plan?”Jake frowned. “But the charges—the evidence—”“All part of the game,” a voice interrupted. The tall visitor from the previous night emerged from the shadows, their trench coat billowing slightly as they walked. “Let’s just say some strings were pulled.”Mrs. Abbott crossed her arms, her gaze piercing. “What’s your angle? Why help us?”The visitor’s lips curled into a sly smile. “I told you—I despise Falck. But more importantly, I see potential in you. With the right guidance, you could be more than just pawns in his game.”Jake glanced n

248As Lily and Allvar walked toward her grandmother’s house, the earlier tension from their run-in with Tobias had mostly faded. The quiet neighborhood felt like a world away from the chaos of the day, and the modest house that came into view looked as welcoming as ever. With its weathered shutters and a garden brimming with winter blooms, it exuded a calm that Lily desperately needed.“This is it,” she said, gesturing toward the house. A small smile flickered across her face, though it didn’t last long.“It’s beautiful,” Allvar said, genuinely impressed. He slowed his steps as he noticed her expression falter. “But you don’t look too happy to see it. What’s wrong?”Lily sighed, her shoulders slumping. “It’s nothing.”“Lily,” Allvar said gently, stopping in his tracks. “Come on. I can tell something’s bothering you.”She hesitated, biting her lip. “I just... I wanted to get my grandma something special. Something original. She’s done so much for me, and I wanted to show her how much

“Allvar’s not the problem here,” Lily said, her voice trembling with fury. “You are, Tobias. Always have been.”Tobias let out a dry laugh, as if he found her resistance laughable. “Really?” he scoffed. “You think he—this nobody—can make you happy? Don’t kid yourself, Lily. You’ve been trying to break free from me, but you can’t. You won’t. I’m the one who knows you, the one who knows what’s best for you.”Lily's hands clenched into fists at her sides, every nerve in her body screaming to put him in his place. She turned to Allvar, her eyes locking with his for a moment, silently asking for support, silently telling him that she wouldn’t back down, no matter what Tobias said. Allvar nodded slightly, his expression unwavering.She turned back to Tobias, standing taller now, her voice steady and full of conviction. “You think you know me? You think you’re the one who gets to decide what’s best for me? Well, you’re wrong.” She shook her head. “You don’t get to control me anymore. I’m don

246Lily’s heart sank as Tobias’s voice reached her ears again. His mocking tone was unmistakable, and she braced herself for whatever cruel words he was about to throw at her.“Oh, I see,” Tobias said, stepping back into the scene with a self-satisfied grin. “Are we done with this little emotional moment now? Or are you planning to start crying next?” He raised an eyebrow, looking between Lily and Allvar. “I just can’t seem to get enough of this charade.”Lily clenched her fists at her sides, determined not to let him get to her again. “Tobias,” she said, her voice low and controlled, “you really are pathetic. You think belittling people makes you important. But you’re just a coward hiding behind your money and status.”Tobias chuckled, as if her words didn’t faze him. “Oh, Lily, always so dramatic. I’m not the one standing here defending someone who can barely string together a sentence without embarrassing himself. You really think you can change anything?” He scoffed, turning to A

245She took a deep breath, feeling the tension in her shoulders ease just a little. “I guess it’s just hard when it’s someone you’ve known for so long. You start to wonder if they’re really as bad as they seem, or if you’re just seeing things the wrong way.”“You’re not seeing things wrong,” Allvar said with a seriousness that surprised her. “People show you who they are through their actions, not their words. And Tobias... he’s been showing you exactly who he is for a long time. Don’t ignore it just because it’s familiar.”Lily’s heart skipped at his words. There was something about the conviction in his voice that made her pause. It wasn’t like him to speak so firmly, but when he did, she found herself listening. Really listening.“I guess I’ve been hoping he’d change,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. “That one day he’d see me for who I am, not just... his idea of what I should be.”Allvar’s gaze softened, and for a moment, Lily thought she saw a flicker of empathy

244Allvar remained still for a moment, his gaze still focused on Tobias’s retreating form. Then he turned to Lily, his expression softening. “Don’t let him bother you,” he said, his voice low and comforting. “People like him don’t deserve your attention.”Lily shook her head, her frustration still lingering. “He’s always like this, though. It’s like he thinks he can control everything around him. And... I’m not supposed to fight him because he’s ‘important.’” She rolled her eyes, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Well, I’m sorry if I didn’t get the memo on who’s important and who’s not.”Allvar let out a soft chuckle, his eyes glinting with a mixture of amusement and disbelief. “Important, huh?” he said, raising an eyebrow. “Yeah, I’ve met plenty of people who think they have the world in their hands because of their last name or their bank account.”Lily glanced at him, her expression softening for a moment. “You don’t really care about any of that, do you?”Allvar shrugged, looking
