Kelvin's Pov 

Justin’s eyes widen in shock as he recognizes me. “You? What are you doing here?”  

Mary’s face pales, her grip tightening on Justin’s arm. “Kelvin… how…”  

“Well, well,” Justin sneers, stepping closer. “Look who decided to show up. What are you doing here, Kelvin? Did you get lost on your way to the dumpster?”  

Mary laughs, her voice high-pitched and grating. “Maybe he’s here to beg for a job. You know how desperate he is.”  

I clench my fists but keep my expression calm. “I could ask you the same question. What are you doing here?” 

Are you really asking me that? ‘Justin puffs out his chest, his smirk widening. “I’m here because I was invited. My father is about to establish a partnership with Eclipse Group. Once the new chairman signs off on our project, we’ll be unstoppable. But you? You’re just a useless, poor orphan who doesn’t deserve to be here.”  

Mary nods, her eyes narrowing. “Yeah, Kelvin. You don’t belong here. Why don’t you crawl back to whatever hole you came out from?”  

I smirk, my tone dripping with sarcasm. “It’s not certain whether you’ll even secure that partnership you are yearning about, Justin. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.”  

Justin’s face reddens, his fists clenching. “You think you’re so clever, don’t you? You’re nothing, Kelvin. Nothing!”  

Mary, clearly fed up, steps forward and waves over a pair of security guards. “Excuse me! This man doesn’t belong here, he doesn't have an invitation. He’s trespassing and should be thrown out immediately.”  

The guards approach, their expressions stern. One of them, a burly man with a buzz cut, looks me up and down. “Is this true, sir? Do you have an invitation?”  

I don’t say a word. Instead, I reach into my pocket and pull out the black card with the Eclipse Group logo. I hold it up, my gaze steady. “Does this give me the right to enter?”  

The guards exchange confused glances. They don’t recognize the card, and neither does Mary.  

“What is that?” Mary scoffs. “Some fake ID you made yourself? Pathetic.”  

Justin laughs, his voice loud and obnoxious. “Yeah, Kelvin. Did you print that at a copy shop? You’re such a joke.”  

The burly guard steps closer, his hand reaching for my arm. “Sir, if you don’t have a valid invitation, I’m going to have to ask you to leave.” This event is strictly for invitees only and not some low life.

I don’t move. My voice is calm but firm. “I suggest you think carefully before touching me.”  

The guard ignores my warning and grabs my arm. Big mistake.  

In one swift motion, I twist out of his grip and slap him across the face. The sound echoes through the lobby, and the guard stumbles back, clutching his cheek. His partner freezes, his eyes wide with shock.  

“What the hell?” the second guard mutters, stepping back.  

Justin and Mary are equally stunned. Justin’s smirk is gone, replaced by a look of disbelief. Mary’s mouth hangs open, her earlier confidence shattered.  

“How… how did you do that?” Justin stammers, his voice shaky.  

I don’t answer. Instead, I step closer to the guards, my gaze cold. “Do you still want to try removing me?”  

The burly guard hesitates, his hand hovering near his radio. “You’re going to regret this,” he mutters, but he doesn’t make a move.  

Mary, recovering from her shock, glares at me. “You’re going to pay for this, Kelvin. You can’t just attack security and get away with it!”  

I turn to her, my expression unreadable. “You’re right, Mary. I can’t. But I didn’t attack anyone. I defended myself. And if you or Justin have a problem with that, feel free to do something about it.”  

Justin steps forward, his face red with anger. “You think you’re so tough now, don’t you? You’re still nothing, Kelvin. Absolutely nothing!”  

I smirk, my tone dripping with sarcasm. “Keep telling yourself that, Justin. Maybe one day you’ll actually believe it.”  

Mary grabs Justin’s arm, her voice trembling. “Let’s just go. He’s not worth it.”  

Justin hesitates, his fists clenched, I hear Mary mutter under her breath. “He’s going to regret this. Justin, make sure your father knows what happened. Kelvin needs to be taught a lesson.”  

Justin nods, his expression dark. “Don’t worry. He’ll get what’s coming to him.”  

The guards are still standing nearby, unsure of what to do.

    Kelvin's Pov The security guard I slapped stumbles back, clutching his cheek. His partner freezes, his eyes wide with shock. The entire lobby seems to hold its breath as the guard crashes into a nearby potted plant, sending soil and leaves scattering across the polished floor. Before anyone can react, the lobby manager rushes over, his face a mix of concern and irritation. “What’s going on here?” he demands, his sharp eyes darting between me, the guards, and the mess on the floor. The guard I slapped points at me, his voice trembling with anger. “This guy attacked me! He’s pretending to have some exclusive card and refused to leave when we asked him to.” Justin and Mary, who had been watching from a safe distance, step forward now, their expressions smug. “Yeah,” Justin says, his tone dripping with mockery. “He’s been causing trouble all morning. Thinks he’s some big shot with that fake card of his.” Mary nods, her arms crossed. “He’s just a poor orphan who doesn’t know his

The senior manager, Mr. Harris, had not only apologized to me but also slapped the lobby manager and ordered Justin and Mary to leave. Justin’s face twists with anger as he steps forward, his voice rising. “This is ridiculous! Do you know who I am? You can not just send me out like that. My father is about to secure a partnership with Eclipse Group. I’m a VIP here! You have no right to throw me out!”. If you want to throw someone out of here it should definitely be him! Mary nod in agreement Mr. Harris doesn’t even flinch. His expression is cold as he gestures to the security guards. “Escort them out. Now.” The guards step forward, their expressions grim. Mary grabs Justin’s arm, her voice trembling. “Let’s just go, Justin. We’ll figure this out.” Justin shakes her off, his face red with rage. “No! I’m not leaving! This is unacceptable!” But the guards

Mary’s voice cuts through the murmurs of the room, sharp and mocking. “Look at him,” she says, pointing at me. “He actually thinks he’s somebody now. Just because he managed to sneak in with some fake card, he thinks he can compare himself to Justin. Pathetic.” Justin smirks, his chest puffing out with arrogance. “Yeah, Kelvin. You’re still trash. Once I get the chairman’s signature, the deal will be finalized, and my family will rise to the top. You’ll still be nothing.” The crowd laughs, their voices blending into a chorus of mockery. I stand there, my expression calm, my hands in my pockets. “I wouldn’t sign it for you,” I say, my tone steady. The room erupts in laughter again, louder this time. “Did he just say he wouldn’t sign it?” someone shouts, their voice dripping with sarcasm. “Yeah, Kelvin!

The room is filled with the city’s elite, their eyes darting between me and Lydia, curiosity burning in their gazes. Justin and Mary are somewhere in the crowd, their smug faces no doubt waiting for me to stumble. But I won’t give them the satisfaction. Lydia steps forward, her presence commanding the room. “Ladies and gentlemen,” she begins, her voice steady and authoritative, “thank you for your patience. We have an important announcement to make.” I can feel the weight of the room’s attention shifting to her, the murmurs dying down. This is it. The moment where I step into the light, where I claim what’s mine. But before Lydia can continue, her personal secretary rushes to her side, whispering urgently. Lydia’s expression darkens, and she turns back to the crowd, her tone somber. “I regret to inform you that Mr. Chen, a major stakeholder and respected ally of Eclipse

    The news of Mr. Chen’s burial reaches me through Lydia. She’s still in China, handling the fallout, but her updates are frequent and detailed. I’m in my mansion, staring out at the city skyline, when my phone buzzes. It’s a message from Lydia: “Brianna’s missing.”My stomach drops. Justin’s family wouldn’t waste any time. They’ve made their move. I grab my coat and head out, my mind racing. If Justin has Brianna, he’ll force her to sign over her father’s assets. And if she resists… I don’t want to think about what they might do to her. Brianna sits in the back of a black van, her hands tied, her mouth gagged. The vehicle speeds through the city, the streets blurring past the windows. The ropes are too tight for her to battle against. The van pulls into an abandoned airfield on the outskirts of the city. Justin is waiting there, his face grim. He opens the van door and drags Brianna out, ignoring her muffled protests. He’s holding a stack of papers, his expression calm but men

    It was the next morningBrianna sits on the edge of the hotel bed,as I pass her a glass of water, her hands trembling as she clutches the water. Her eyes are red from crying, and her voice shakes as she speaks. “Justin… he forced me to sign the documents,” she says, her voice barely above a whisper. “He threatened me and put me in a cell. There was nothing I could do.” I sit across from her, my expression hidden but my mind racing. Justin’s actions are even more despicable than I imagined. “What else did he do?” I ask, my voice calm but firm. Brianna takes a deep breath, her hands tightening around the glass. “If I didn't comply, he threatened to kill me. He… he took everything. My father’s properties, his wealth… it’s all gone.” Her voice breaks, and she looks away, tears streaming down her face. I lean forward, my tone steady. “You’re safe now. And I promise you, I’ll get those documents back.” Justin’s penthouse is a mess. Shattered vases, overturned furniture, and b

    I sit at the head of the table in the dimly lit room, my fingers steepled as I watch Lydia enter. She’s always composed, always in control, but tonight there’s a flicker of uncertainty in her eyes. She knows something’s off. Good. She should.“Lydia,” I say, my voice calm but firm. “I want you to stop every plan for my public introduction. Indefinitely.”She freezes for a moment, her sharp eyes narrowing as she processes my words. “Sir, with all due respect, the public introduction is crucial to establishing your authority. The people need to see you, to know who’s leading them. Without that, your position remains vulnerable.”I lean back in my chair, my gaze steady. “I don’t need the spotlight to rule. In fact, I prefer the shadows. Let them wonder who’s pulling the strings. Let them fear the unseen hand. That’s where true power lies.”Lydia hesitates, her lips pressing into a thin line. She’s not used to being overruled, but she knows better than to argue. “And what about Brianna?”

    The room is tense, the air thick with unspoken words. Olivia sits across from me, her usual bravado replaced by a rare silence. Her earlier stunt trying to grab me still lingers in the air like a bad smell. I lean forward, my elbows resting on the table, and fix her with a cold stare.“Olivia,” I say, my voice low but sharp, “if you ever pull something like that again, you’ll be disciplined. And trust me, you won’t like it.”She rolls her eyes, clearly unimpressed, but there’s a flicker of unease in her expression. “Alright, alright. No more funny business. Got it.”I don’t smile. “Good. Because this isn’t a game. We’re here to work, not to play.”Lydia, sitting to my right, clears her throat, breaking the tension. “Now that we’ve settled that, let’s focus on the matter at hand. Justin’s false claim on Mr. Chen’s property. We need a plan, and we need it fast.”Eddy, standing silently by the door, steps forward. His presence is always imposing, but his voice is calm and measured. “Snea

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.

  • Chapter 48: A Game of Blood and Shadows

    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

    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

    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.

    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
