Get Ready For Allvar Falck's Ruthless Return 182
182“That’s enough!” Victor roared, his voice shaking with anger. “You will not speak to him—or to me—that way again. Do you understand me?” YDerek’s eyes widened, the shock evident on his face. He had never seen his father this enraged. “F-Father—” “Don’t you Father me,” Victor cut him off, his grip still firm. “You think you know everything, don’t you? You think your arrogance makes you strong, that it gives you the right to speak out of turn and insult people you don’t understand. But let me tell you something, Derek. You know nothing. Nothing about what’s happening here. Nothing about what Allvar has done—or what he’s capable of.” The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Even Allvar seemed taken aback, his usual smirk replaced by a flicker of curiosity. "What Lorentz told me changes everything. It’s bigger than you, me, or this family." He said his tone stern.Derek’s face burned with fury. “You’re making a mistake. He’s playing you.” Victor shot his son a glare

183The tension in the room was palpable. Derek’s breath came in ragged gasps as he touched his face, his hand trembling. The sharp sting of his father’s slap still burned against his skin. “You…” he started, his voice wavering, “You hit me.”Victor stood tall, his eyes blazing with fury, the veins in his neck pulsing as his anger swelled. His chest rose and fell with each breath, but his expression remained cold and calculating. “And I’ll do it again if you don’t stop this insolence.” His voice was low and dangerous. “You may be my son, but that does not give you the right to disrespect me or the decisions I make.”Derek’s eyes widened, his mouth working as if trying to form words but failing. His pride, his ego, had taken a blow he hadn’t expected. He had always believed himself untouchable, above reproach. To be slapped by his father, in front of so many people—it was unbearable.“You’re defending him over your own flesh and blood!” Derek’s voice broke, full of pain and frustration

184“What… What is he doing?” someone whispered, their voice trembling. “Victor, of all people, bowing to Allvar?”Another voice, hushed and incredulous, floated through the crowd. “He’s actually… kneeling?”Reginald’s eyes were wide with disbelief, his hand shaking as he stepped forward. “Victor, this is madness! What are you doing?” he demanded, his voice rising in alarm. “You’re bowing to him? After everything he’s done to this family?”Victor raised his head slowly, his gaze meeting Reginald’s with cold determination. “I know what I’m doing, Reginald,” he said, his voice steady and unwavering. “You’ll understand soon enough.”Allvar looked down at Victor, his face unreadable, but the confusion was still evident in his eyes. “Victor, I don’t understand. Why are you doing this?” he asked, his voice quiet, though there was a hint of wariness in it.Victor’s posture remained one of humility, his head slightly bowed. “Please, Allvar,” he said, his voice filled with sincerity, “on behal

185The silence in the grand hall was suffocating, a heavy blanket draped over the gathered crowd. Every eye was glued to the strange, almost surreal sight of Victor Hawthorne on one knee before Allvar. The powerful patriarch, once a symbol of unyielding strength, was now humbled, his pride cast aside for reasons none could yet comprehend.Victor raised his head, his expression imploring as he addressed Allvar. “I’m asking for forgiveness, Allvar. Not just for Derek, but for the way this family has treated you. You’ve been wronged in ways that shame us all. I can’t undo the past, but I can ensure it doesn’t define our future.”Allvar looked down at him, his lined face unreadable, save for the flicker of disdain that flashed in his eyes. Slowly, he stepped back, his arms folding across his chest. The movement was deliberate, his stance one of quiet defiance. “Forgiveness?” he repeated, his voice steady, though edged with a cold bitterness. “Forgiveness is not something you can simply a

186The room was silent, save for the faint rustle of clothing and the soft clicks of Allvar’s shoes against the marble floor. Victor stood frozen, his face a mask of defeat. His shoulders slumped as the weight of the moment bore down on him.“Did that just happen?” someone whispered, their voice barely audible.“It’s over,” another murmured, shaking their head in disbelief. “Victor Hawthorne… humiliated in front of everyone.”Derek, still standing off to the side, watched Allvar’s retreating figure with a mix of shock and anger. His father’s humiliation was a bitter pill to swallow, but the betrayal stung even more. His hands clenched into fists, his mind racing with thoughts he couldn’t yet articulate.Victor turned slowly, his eyes scanning the room as if searching for an ally. But there were none. The crowd avoided his gaze, their expressions a mixture of pity and judgment.Finally, Victor straightened, his face hardening as he attempted to reclaim some semblance of control. “This

187Victor nodded grimly. “It’s true. And that’s why I had no choice but to apologize. Do you think I want to? Do you think it doesn’t make me sick to my stomach? But I can’t afford to fight him—not now.”Derek pressed a hand to his forehead, his stomach churning. “This… this is insane. I can’t believe you’re telling me this. That bastard Allvar… he’s backed by someone even bigger.”“Yes,” Victor said simply. “And unless we deal with him carefully, he’ll destroy everything we’ve built.”Derek’s hands curled into fists. “So what’s the plan? Grovel until he decides to leave us alone? Because I’m telling you now, Dad, he won’t. He’ll bleed us dry.”Victor stepped closer, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. “We discredit him before he has the chance to do anything. We make sure that whatever he says to Falck—or anyone else—sounds like the ramblings of a liar.”Derek frowned, his skepticism clear. “And how do you plan to do that? Allvar has nothing to lose. He won’t go down without

188Allvar’s laughter echoed in the silence of his mansion, but it wasn’t long before the satisfying memory of Victor Hawthorne’s humiliation began to fade. Sitting in the dim light of his living room, the flames of the fireplace casting dancing shadows across his face, Allvar’s smirk turned into a thoughtful frown. “Victor Hawthorne doesn’t grovel without a reason,” he murmured, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the side of his whiskey glass. “There’s something else at play here. Something I’m not seeing.” The distant sound of footsteps approaching drew Allvar's attention. His head tilted slightly toward the hallway as the steady rhythm grew louder. Within moments, Mr. Lorentz, a tall, silver-haired man with an air of quiet authority, entered the room. His immaculate suit and deliberate movements spoke of his role as the family's trusted butler. His piercing gaze landed directly on Allvar.“Young Master Allvar,” Lorentz said, his tone respectful yet edged with concern. “I recei

189Allvar sat by the flickering light of the fire late into the night, lost in thought. The soft crackling of burning logs was the only sound accompanying his contemplations. Despite Lorentz’s warnings, he was resolute—Victor Hawthorne would not win, but confronting him would take careful planning. The storm brewing in Allvar’s life was anything but ordinary, and he needed a clear head for the battles ahead.Finally, exhaustion won over. Allvar rose from his chair, extinguished the fire, and ascended the grand staircase to his suite. Tomorrow was going to be a long day; he had already missed a few days of work, and he needed to reassert his presence at the office. His rivals at Waterfall Corporation, especially Mrs. Abbott, Jake, and Edgar, wouldn’t waste a moment in exploiting his absence. Those scheming opportunists, fueled by jealousy and ambition, were always looking for an opening. As his head hit the pillow, Allvar’s last thought was one of determination. “They’ll regret it if

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
