The notification pings on my phone just after sunrise. I’m reviewing reports in the study, half-distracted, when I see the message come through.an encrypted file from one of my contacts in Thailand.

I open it instantly.

Kwang.

The man wasted no time reporting Zac’s condition. According to him, Zac is dangling between life and death. Poison. A kiss laced with venom. Classic move elegant but brutal. A woman’s touch can kill more effectively than a bullet. Kwang says the local doctor is trying to keep him alive, but even with constant care, the outcome remains uncertain.

I rub my temples.

Zac’s reckless hunger for power made him blind. He underestimated the savagery of the game he walked into. And now, it’s backfiring spectacularly.

But Zac isn’t my only problem.

Justin’s father already knows. Kwang made sure of that too he wouldn’t risk keeping something so critical to himself. And knowing the old man, he won’t stay silent. He’s likely passed the information on to Justin by now.

    The cursor blinks on the screen in front of me, but I’m not really seeing the words anymore. I’ve been deep into reviewing financials, encryption protocols, and a list of potential insiders Justin could be manipulating. I haven’t looked at my phone in over an hour. When I finally do, I feel my chest tighten.A message. Lydia.It’s not a normal text. It’s a distress ping coded, buried in layers of encryption. Only a few people can even send it to me. I open it immediately, heart hammering, only to realize it was sent over an hour ago.“Damn it,” I mutter, already dialing her number.It rings once. Twice. Then cuts off. No connection.I try again, heart pounding harder with each second. Same result. A dead line. I slam the phone down on the table, the sound sharp and jarring in the quiet room.“Eddy!” I call out, voice clipped with urgency.He’s already halfway into the room, eyes alert, sensing the shift in energy before I even spoke.“I need you to check Lydia’s place. Now. She sent m

    Justin’s mansion sits like a fortress at the edge of the hills, with tall walls, armed guards, and reinforced gates. His private security force is no ordinary crew they’re ex-military, trained for war, not protection. Every movement is calculated, their patrols tight and disciplined. They’re not just there to intimidate, they're there to kill if necessary. Most would turn away just looking at that place. But I’m not most people. And I don’t back down not when Lydia’s inside.I don’t need proof to feel it. I know she’s there. I can feel it in the tightening of my chest, the restless burn in my gut. She’s hurting. I can sense it like her pain is wired into my nerves. Olivia’s surveillance confirms it. Heat signatures pulled from hacked satellite footage show multiple figures in the mansion, but only one matches Lydia’s size and resting posture. She's locked in a cold room beneath the estate, likely restrained.Justin’s playing dirty. Torture is on the table. He’s trying to break her, pr

    Kwang had hoped Zac wouldn’t survive. He’d counted on the poison doing its job completely, betting everything on Zac slipping quietly into death and taking the last dangerous link to their secrets with him. It was supposed to be clean, silent the perfect ending to a growing problem. All he needed was for Zac to die. But fate, as always, had its own cruel sense of humor. Zac woke up and he remembered everything.Weak. Groggy. But alive. And worst of all suspicious.I hear about it almost immediately through our eyes at the hospital. Zac isn't stupid; the first thing he does once he can speak is demand an investigation. He remembers the girl who kissed him right before everything went black. He knows the truth is hiding somewhere in that moment. He orders that the girl be found. Hunted down. Interrogated. And if necessary, eliminated.But Kwang is ahead of him. He already killed her. Buried the evidence deep where no one will find it. Cleaned up the loose end wit

    Kelvin's PovThe sound hit me first. A low, rhythmic moan, punctuated by the creak of bedsprings. It seeps through the door, sharp and unmistakable. My hand freezes on the doorknob, the text message still glowing on my phone screen“Come over tonight. I’m ready for you.” My heart, which had been pounding with anticipation, now thuds with something else. Dread. Disbelief. The kind of sickening realization that twists your stomach into knots. I push the door open. The scene is a punch to the gut. Mary, my Mary, is tangled in the sheets with Justin. Her bare shoulders glisten with sweat, her hair a wild mess. Justin, shirtless and smirking, looks up lazily as if he’d been expecting this. “Oh, look,” Justin drawls, his voice dripping with mockery. “The clown’s here. Right on time.” Mary’s eyes widen for a split second, but then she relaxes, leaning back against the headboard like this is nothing. Like I am nothing. “Kelvin,” she says, her voice cold and detached. “You weren’t

    Kelvin's Pov The world comes back in fragments. First, the pain is sharp and burning, like my body is being torn apart. Then, the growls, low and guttural, vibrating through the air. I open my eyes, and the sight of the dogs lunging at me sends a jolt of adrenaline through my veins. But something’s different. The weakness that had left me helpless is gone. In its place is a surge of energy so intense it feels like my blood is on fire. The ring on my finger pulses with a faint, otherworldly glow, and my mind is flooded with knowledge, ancient, profound, and overwhelming. Cultivating techniques, combat forms, and secrets I can’t even begin to understand. Before I can process any of it, the dogs attack. Their teeth gleam in the dim light, their snarls deafening. But I don’t freeze. My body moves on its own, faster than I thought. I kick, and the sound of bones shattering echoes through the cage. The dogs collapse, whimpering, their aggression replaced by fear. I stare at my

    Kelvin's Pov I agree to my father’s request. It’s not like I have much of a choice. The weight of his expectations hangs over me like a storm cloud, but there’s a part of me that’s curious no, hungry to see what this new life has in store. The takeover of “Eclipse Group” is set for tomorrow, coinciding with their anniversary celebration. Major companies in the city will be there, including Justin’s family. The thought of facing him again sends a flicker of anticipation through me. Lydia takes me to the villa my father prepared. It’s massive, luxurious, and eerily quiet. The kind of place that feels more like a museum than a home. I wander through the halls, my mind racing. The cultivation methods I’ve inherited from the ring are still fresh in my mind, a jumble of techniques and rituals I barely understand. But one thing’s clear: I need to start practicing. The first step is a specific herb “Soulroot”. It’s rare and expensive, but according to the knowledge flooding my mind, it

    Kelvin's Pov The clerk’s hesitation turns into outright doubt. She looks at me, then at Mrs. Sarah, and finally at the black card in her hand. Her lips press into a thin line as she makes her decision. “I’m sorry, sir,” she says, her voice firm but apologetic. “But I’m going to have to ask you to give up the Soul root. We can’t proceed with this transaction.” Mrs. Sarah smirks, crossing her arms triumphantly. “Told you. He’s just wasting everyone’s time.” I narrow my eyes, my patience wearing thin. “You’re making a mistake. I was here first, and I have the means to pay. You should honor the first-come, first-serve principle.” The clerk shakes her head, her tone turning condescending. “Sir, with all due respect, this herb is extremely expensive. We can’t risk a declined payment. If you can’t provide another form of payment, I’ll have to give it to Mrs. Sarah.” Mary’s sister giggles, her voice dripping with mockery. “Maybe he can pay with pocket change. Oh wait, he probably d

  • Chapter 45: Lines Drawn

    I say nothing as I watch Brianna, still blindfolded, her breaths shallow and uneven. Her hands tremble in her lap, fingers clenched in knots. She doesn’t know I’m here yet. Doesn’t know the worst part is over. That I came for her.My chest tightens. The sight of her like this is so vulnerable, so afraid it boils something dangerous inside me. I don’t speak. I can’t. Not yet.I turn slowly, eyes locking on Lydia.She flinches under the weight of my silence.“Outside,” I mutter, my voice low and tight.She hesitates, but follows. She knows I’m holding something in, and when I do that, it’s never good.The door shuts behind us, sealing us into the cold, open space behind the warehouse. The second it closes, I snap.My palm connects with Lydia’s face in a flash of white-hot fury. She stumbles back, eyes wide, hand flying to her cheek.“You think I wouldn’t find out?” I spit. “You thought I’d just take your word, believe your lies, and never question what happened to her?”“She knew who yo

  • Chapter 44: Crossfire

    The moment I wake up, something doesn’t sit right. There’s a pressure in my chest, an itch in the back of my mind that won’t go away. Call it instinct, paranoia, or just years of surviving betrayals, but I’ve learned to trust it.Something’s wrong.By midday, I can’t ignore it anymore. I haven’t heard from Zac since Eddy’s last report, and Olivia’s updates on the Thailand front have gone cold. That alone sets off alarms in my head.I call Olivia.“I want a location on Zac,” I tell her.She pauses. “We already confirmed he went to Thailand, remember?”“I remember. But that was days ago, and now he’s off the radar. That’s not like Zac. He doesn’t disappear without making noise.”She sighs. “I’ll reach out to our contacts again. If he’s alive, someone’s seen him.”“Good. And Liv?”“Yes?”“Put a bounty on him. I don’t care if he’s underground or six feet under. I want his exact location. Soon.”“Understood.”I end the call and stare out the window. The city below looks peaceful, ordinary

  • Chapter 43:Poison and Power Plays

    The sun rises sluggishly over the city, but I barely notice it from the safehouse. My body is still healing, my mind restless. I sip lukewarm tea and scroll through the updates Eddy left me. My eyes stop on one word: Thailand. And the name right next to it hits like a cold slap Zac.So he’s made his move.Eddy was right. The moment he got booted from Eclipse, Zac wouldn't disappear quietly. The bastard always had a plan, and now, it seems, he’s gone international.Thailand. Cocaine farms. Justin’s family.That’s not just business it’s legacy. The underbelly of Justin’s empire has always been wrapped in secrecy, guarded by blood and fear. I remember the rumors: jungles hidden behind resorts, farms carved into the hills where poppies bloom and men with guns smile without mercy. It’s not a place for amateurs.Zac’s there now.The report says he landed two nights ago. Was picked up by a man named Kwang a Thai gangster who climbed his way through the dirt, the blood, and the greed. Kwang r

  • Chapter 42:The Poison of Jealousy

    Brianna rushes to block my path, standing between me and the door with a desperate look in her eyes. For a fleeting moment, her presence stirs something in me a whisper of the past, of what could have been. But I shake it off, refusing to let emotion cloud my judgment. Gently, I place a hand on her shoulder and ease her aside, careful not to hurt her but firm enough to make my point. “I have an early morning,” I murmur, adjusting my jacket as I regain my composure. My heart hardens. I can’t afford to be vulnerable. Not now. Not here. Especially not with Brianna watching so closely.She watches me closely, eyes wide and searching, lips slightly parted as if still waiting for the kiss I withheld. The silence between us crackles with unspoken words, heavy with all the things neither of us dares to say. The tension is a living thing, curling in the space between us, thick with what-ifs and regret. I shift my gaze, unable to meet hers for too long without risking my resolve.“I should go,”
