Get Ready For Allvar Falck's Ruthless Return 83
83Derek wasted no time after Ethan left. His hands trembled as he grabbed his phone from the desk, dialing the Henleys' company. He needed answers—how they had the audacity to hand his contract to that slimy bastard, Allvar.The phone rang twice before a cheerful voice greeted him, “Good afternoon, Henleys Corporation. How may I direct your call?”Derek clenched his jaw. “This is Derek Hawthorne. Put me through to Mr. Henley. Now.”There was a brief pause, the voice on the other end adopting a slightly cautious tone. “I’m afraid Mr. Henley is unavailable at the moment. Can I take a message?”Derek’s temper flared instantly. “A message? Do you even know who you're talking to? I don’t leave messages. I speak directly to Mr. Henley, or heads will roll.”The secretary hesitated, her tone still polite but firm. “I understand your urgency, Mr. Hawthorne, but Mr. Henley is currently in a meeting. I’m happy to let him know you called, and he can—”“You’re not listening to me,” Derek snapped,

84Allvar sat at his desk, the dim light from his lamp casting long shadows across the office. It was late—far later than he usually stayed—but there was still too much to do. The Henley deal, the fallout with Derek, and Marcus’s removal had left the company in a state of transition, and he wasn’t about to leave any loose ends.He rubbed his temples, glancing at the clock. Nearly 9 p.m. The rest of the office had long since emptied, leaving only the hum of the air conditioning and the quiet tapping of his keyboard to fill the silence.A soft knock on the door caught his attention. He looked up to see Clarabelle, his secretary, standing in the doorway. She was stunning, as always—her deep red hair fell in soft waves over her shoulders, and her bright blue eyes sparkled even in the dull office light. She wore a fitted black pencil skirt that hugged her curves perfectly, paired with a white blouse, unbuttoned just enough to draw the eye but remain professional. Her high heels clicked so

85One hour later, Allvar finally decided it was time to call it a night. His eyes burned from staring at the computer screen for too long, and a long yawn escaped his lips."Uhhh," he groaned, rubbing his tired eyes. "I’ve had enough of this for one day."He stacked the papers neatly on his desk, glancing at the growing pile. "I’ll deal with you tomorrow," he muttered to himself, grabbing his briefcase and turning off the dim lamp.The quiet click of his office door shutting behind him echoed in the empty hallway as he made his way to the elevator. The building was eerily silent, but that didn’t bother him. In fact, he welcomed it."At least I can think in peace," Allvar whispered, pressing the elevator button. "Silence beats another day of phone calls and meetings."By the time he reached the underground parking lot, the weight of exhaustion was pressing down hard on him. He slid into the driver’s seat of his car and leaned back for a moment, resting his head against the headrest."

86Allvar’s mind raced. Who were they? And what did they want? He had enemies, sure. But no one would dare make such a blatant move against him, right?His phone buzzed in his pocket, snapping him out of his thoughts. He fumbled to retrieve it, hoping for a distraction, maybe a message or a call that would make this nightmare disappear. But when he saw the unknown number flashing on the screen, a sinking feeling set in.He hesitated before answering. "Hello?" His voice wavered, despite his attempt to sound composed.A cold, gravelly voice responded, dripping with menace. “Mr. Falck, it seems you’ve been playing a dangerous game.”Allvar’s heart dropped. “Who the hell is this?”The voice chuckled darkly. “Someone who doesn’t appreciate being underestimated."Allvar’s heart pounded in his chest as he gripped the phone tighter, the silence in his car thick and oppressive.“Who the hell is this?” His voice trembled despite his best efforts to keep it steady.A dark chuckle came from the o

87Allvar’s jaw clenched as the men encircled him, their cold stares pressing down like a pack of wolves cornering their prey. He could feel their eyes, but it was the bulky man standing directly in front of him—the leader—who held all of Allvar's focus. His sharp, calculating gaze never wavered, a cruel glint flickering behind his eyes.“You’ve made some poor choices,” the leader said, his voice disturbingly calm as if he were discussing the weather. “And now, you’re going to pay for them.”Allvar squared his shoulders, his pulse racing, but he forced himself to keep his tone steady. “I don’t know who you think you are,” he spat, “but you have no idea who you’re messing with.”The man raised an eyebrow, a mocking smirk tugging at his lips. “Oh, I know exactly who I’m messing with, Mr. Falck. It’s you who’s in the dark.”Allvar’s fists clenched at his sides, frustration boiling just beneath his skin. “What the hell do you want from me?” His voice was sharp, the anger barely contained.

88“I warned you,” the leader hissed, his tone cold and dangerous. “You don’t get to make the rules here, Falck.”Allvar straightened, though every muscle in his body screamed in protest. “Enough with the games,” he bit out, glaring at the man in front of him. “This has gone on long enough.”The men surrounding him erupted into laughter, their mocking voices filling the night air.“Oh, now he thinks he’s calling the shots!” one of them taunted, his laughter cutting like a knife.“Yeah, all of a sudden, he’s in charge!” another chimed in, shaking his head in disbelief.The leader’s eyes gleamed with sadistic delight as he watched Allvar struggle to maintain his defiance. “You’ve got spirit,” he admitted, “but you’re still going to do as I say.”Allvar wiped the blood from his mouth, his gaze burning with hatred. He knew he was outnumbered, but there was no way he was going to let them see him break.“You think you’ve won?” he snarled, his voice low and venomous. “This isn’t over.”The

89Allvar smirked, rolling his shoulders as he approached, eyes gleaming with amusement. “Funny, I was just about to say the same to you.”The last two thugs exchanged nervous glances, clearly shaken by how quickly the tide had turned. One of them swallowed hard, his voice shaky as he shouted, “He’s a freakin’ fighter! How the hell are we supposed to take him down?”“Maybe if you all attacked at once, you’d stand a chance,” Allvar taunted, his voice low and dripping with danger. He tilted his head slightly, daring them to make a move. “But then again, maybe not.”The leader’s face twisted in frustration as he barked, “Stop standing around like idiots! Take him down! Now!”The two remaining men hesitated for a split second, exchanging one more glance before rushing at Allvar. The first swung wildly, fists flying, but Allvar was ready. He ducked under the punch with ease, his lips curling in a smirk, and delivered a brutal uppercut to the thug’s chin.The sound of bone cracking was unmi

90Allvar stood over the fallen leader, his foot resting lightly on the man’s side. He cracked his neck, then squatted down, his face just inches from the groaning thug.“So,” Allvar began, voice calm and almost conversational, “who sent you?”The leader gritted his teeth, refusing to meet Allvar’s gaze. “I’m not saying shit,” he spat.Allvar chuckled, shaking his head as if amused. “Of course you aren’t. Tough guy, huh?”The thug on the ground remained silent, glaring up at him. Allvar straightened up and glanced around at the unconscious bodies littering the alley. He scratched his chin thoughtfully before leaning back down, his tone casual but with an unmistakable edge of danger.“Let me guess,” Allvar said, tilting his head slightly. “You think by keeping quiet, you’re saving yourself from something worse later on, right?”The leader shifted uncomfortably but remained silent.“Trust me,” Allvar continued, his voice low and mocking, “whatever you think is going to happen if you tal

“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

243“You’re pathetic, Tobias. You spend all your time belittling others because you think it makes you important. But the truth is, you’re just insecure. All of this? It’s just a mask for how small you feel inside.”Tobias’s face contorted with fury. His jaw clenched as he stared at Lily, his nostrils flaring with every breath. “You think you’ve figured me out? Please.” He scoffed, taking a step back. “You don’t know me. You’re nothing to me, Lily. But him?” He pointed a finger at Allvar, who stood silently, his face impassive. “You’ll see him for what he really is soon enough. It won’t be long before he’s just another disappointment in your life.”Lily could feel her heart race, her pulse pounding in her ears. Tobias’s words were like poison, but she was done being intimidated. She squared her shoulders, standing tall. “Don’t talk to me like that. Not anymore, Tobias. I’m done letting you walk all over me.”Tobias’s eyes gleamed with mockery. “Oh? You think that just because you stan

242“You’re right,” she said after a beat. “I should stop letting people like him get to me. He’s always been like this, but I’m not going to let him ruin my day.”Allvar gave her a small smile. “That’s the spirit.”Lily laughed, though it was tinged with a hint of bitterness. “It’s just... tiring. You know? I’ve been dealing with this for years, and it never gets any easier.”Allvar nodded, his face softening with empathy. “It’s a battle, that’s for sure. But you’re stronger than you think.”Lily’s shoulders sagged slightly as she took in his words. “I don’t always feel that way,” she admitted, her gaze drifting to the ground. “Sometimes it feels like I’m just one step away from losing it all.”“You won’t lose it,” Allvar said, his voice steady. “Not as long as you keep standing your ground.”Lily didn’t respond right away. Instead, she let his words sink in, feeling the weight of them in her chest. Maybe he was right. Maybe she didn’t have to give up, no matter how much Tobias or an

241“Lily invited me to her grandmother’s birthday,” he said, his tone steady. “If you have a problem with that, maybe you should take it up with her.”Lily stood a little taller, her earlier hesitation replaced by a spark of defiance. “You don’t get to tell me who I can invite to my own family’s celebration, Tobias,” she said, her voice clear and unshaken. “If Allvar is coming, then that’s my choice.”Tobias’s expression darkened, his smirk faltering slightly. “Is that so?” he said, taking a step closer, his posture oozing with superiority. “Well, I just thought you might want someone more... suitable. Not someone who looks like he’s barely making ends meet.”Lily shook her head, her hands balling into fists at her sides. “You don’t know anything about him,” she snapped, her voice rising. “And you don’t get to judge him.”Allvar glanced at her, a small flicker of admiration in his eyes. Her defense of him was unexpected, but it felt good to know she wasn’t backing down, not for him,

240“Look, I don’t know who you think you are, but you’re not going to intimidate me, and you’re definitely not going to intimidate her.”Tobias finally looked at Allvar, his lips curling into a smirk. “Is that so? And what are you going to do about it?”“I’m not going to do anything,” Allvar replied, his voice steady but filled with quiet menace. “But if you keep running your mouth, you might find yourself regretting it.”Tobias’ eyes flicked over Allvar, sizing him up. The air between them was charged with tension, but Tobias just laughed. “I see. The quiet, brooding type. How original.”Lily stepped between the two men, her voice clear and commanding. “Enough, both of you,” she said, her tone brokering no argument. “Tobias, this isn’t the time or the place for this. And you, Allvar,” she added, looking back at him with a soft but firm expression, “you don’t need to waste your time on him.”Allvar was about to speak when Tobias interrupted. “You really don’t get it, do you, Lily?

239For a moment, the tension was thick enough to cut with a knife. Allvar looked at Lily, his respect for her growing. Tobias seemed taken aback by her defiance, his eyes narrowing with growing frustration.“Fine,” he said through gritted teeth. “But don’t say I didn’t warn you.” With one last venomous glance, he turned and walked away, his footsteps echoing in the silence.Lily let out a long breath, her shoulders slumping in relief. “I’m sorry you had to see that,” she said quietly, turning to Allvar. “I don’t know what’s gotten into him lately.”Allvar gave her a soft smile, his voice calm and reassuring. “It’s not your fault. People like him... they just think they have the right to push others around.”She nodded, still visibly shaken but more at ease now that Tobias was gone. “I don’t want to let him get to me, but it’s hard sometimes.”“I understand,” Allvar said, his voice low and reassuring. “But don’t let him change who you are. You’ve got a lot of strength.”Lily looked at
