Cordelia felt a warmth spread through her as she leaned into his touch, comforted by his presence. At that moment she felt like a queen.

Benjamin then spoke up, his voice carrying a hint of authority as he addressed the crowd. "As it's her birthday, can we all celebrate it together?" he announced, his words met with enthusiastic applause and nods of agreement from the gathered guests. Some even began snapping photos of the helicopters, capturing the extraordinary moment.

Just as the crowd was about to burst into a rendition of "Happy Birthday" for Cordelia, Hayford stepped forward, his expression a mix of anger and frustration.

"Hello," he interjected, his tone sharp and confrontational. "This arrangement was made for my club's theme party, not for your girlfriend's birthday. If you want to celebrate a birthday, go look for somewhere else.”

Undeterred, Benjamin simply smiled and turned to face Hayford, his demeanor calm and unruffled. "Relax," he replied, his voice laced with amusem

    Benjamin chuckled softly, almost amused.“What do you think?” he asked.Jacob gulped hard, then forced himself to speak.“You know that if you kill me,” he said carefully, “based on who I am—the head of the Hansen family, a family worth billions—it will attract attention. The feds will look into it. The FBI might even step in if they find me dead somewhere.”Benjamin nodded slowly.“That is right,” he said. He chuckled again, darker this time. “You’re smarter than I thought.”Jacob’s heart pounded.“But,” Benjamin continued calmly, “you are going to die. Just not directly by my hand.”Jacob’s eyes widened.“What… what do you mean by that?” he asked, panic creeping into his voice. “Are you going to let one of your men kill me?”Benjamin shook his head.“No,” he said simply. “You are going to die—but not now. And not here.”

    Jacob’s lips trembled. He swallowed again, his voice barely steady as he answered.“I… I knew it wouldn’t stay buried forever,” he admitted hoarsely. “Things like that—things that big—they don’t disappear. They wait.”He clenched his hands together, knuckles white.“Daniel Winslow was powerful. His wife too. Even after their deaths, their shadows were everywhere. I kept telling myself it was safe, that enough years had passed… but deep down, I knew someone would come asking questions one day.”He looked up at Benjamin, fear naked in his eyes.“So when I heard people were digging, I panicked,” Jacob continued. “I didn’t want to fight—I wanted to know how close they were. How much they knew. I was trying to protect myself.”Benjamin’s smile faded.He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table, the pistol now lying calmly between his fingers.“Why did you kill them?” he asked quietly.The room felt colder.Jacob said nothing.His eyes dropped to the floor, his jaw tightening.

    About an hour later, the car finally slowed… then came to a complete stop. The engine was turned off. Jacob’s heart skipped. The door beside him opened, cold air brushing his face. Hands gripped his arm again and pulled him out. “Careful,” Jacob muttered instinctively, his voice hoarse. “Where are we?” No answer. They guided him forward. His shoes scraped against the floor as he was led through what felt like a corridor, then another door opened. The air inside was cooler, heavier. “Sit.” Jacob was pushed down onto a chair. It creaked softly under his weight. Moments later, he heard footsteps moving away, then stopping right in front of him. A calm, amused voice spoke. “Jacob Halden.” Jacob stiffened. Benjamin sat directly in front of him, relaxed, one leg crossed over the other, a wide, unsettling smile on his face. A pistol rested loosely in his hand, as though it were nothing more than an accessory. Behind him stood Rakshasha, arms folded, flanked by severa

  • Chapter 497: Jacob Call

    The moment the body hit the chair, several of the terrorist’s men reacted on instinct, raising their guns toward Abdelkarim. The room tensed — one breath away from chaos. Abdelkarim didn’t flinch. He lifted his gaze slowly, his voice cold and steady. “You want to die?” The question wasn’t shouted. It didn’t need to be. Something in his tone — absolute certainty, absolute dominance — shook them. Hands began to tremble. Eyes darted. One by one, the men lowered their weapons, then slowly placed them on the floor. Silence swallowed the room again. Abdelkarim stepped forward, looking at them without hatred, without mercy — just finality. “I’m giving you a new chance,” he said. “Go. Live peacefully. This life ends today.” They hesitated, stunned, breathing hard. Abdelkarim turned slightly and spoke to his own men. “Take their guns.” His men moved immediately, collecting every weapon with calm efficiency. No one resisted. As Abdelkarim’s men finished collecting the

    Benjamin’s expression hardened, resolve set deep in his eyes. “That’s why I returned,” he said calmly. “And why things are about to change.”The butler found his voice again, though it came out low and shaken. “So… what is the next step?” he asked. “Are you reporting this to the police? And… does Cordelia know about any of this?”Benjamin shook his head slowly.“She doesn’t know anything,” he said firmly. “And I’m not reporting this to the police.”The butler looked at him, troubled. “Then how—”“I’ll handle everything,” Benjamin cut in calmly. “My own way.”With that, he turned around without another word and walked back toward the house.When Benjamin walked back into the room, Cordelia was already awake, stretching beneath the covers. The moment she saw him, her face brightened. She sat up and reached for him, wrapping her arms around his waist.“Good morning,” she murmured.Benjamin leaned down, and they kissed softly, familiar and unhurried.After a moment, he rested his forehead
