ack wasn’t particularly excited about watching a movie, but Emma was determined to drag him along.

But as they arrived at the entrance, Emma’s mood shifted.

Her playful energy vanished, replaced with irritation.

Jack followed her gaze—

And spotted the reason why.

Sanaya Garvos.

The eldest daughter of the Garvos family, notorious for her wild lifestyle, clubbing habits, and inability to shut up.

She wasn’t alone.

She stumbled drunkenly, dragging some poor bastard by his tie like he was a pet on a leash.

Her bright red lips curled into a smirk the moment she saw Emma.

“Oh, look who it is.”

Emma’s jaw clenched.

Sanaya swayed slightly, still holding onto her tie hostage. “Didn’t expect to see you here, Emma. And—oh? Who’s this? Your little date?”

Her gaze landed on Jack, scanning him with an interested but mocking glint.

“Tsk tsk, Emma. I knew you’d be desperate, but this is a new low.”

Emma’s fists clenched at her sides.

Emma Brooks wasn’t built for arguments.

She was kind-hearted, a lit

    Jack Sullivan had just about enough nonsense for one night.He was halfway through the theater doors when Emma suddenly yanked him back, her small hands clutching his sleeve like a lifeline.“Oh, you two aren’t going anywhere.”That voice.That damn annoying voice.Jack exhaled sharply, already regretting turning around.Sure enough, Sanaya Garvos stood there, her smirk so smug it could punch a hole through the atmosphere.The half-drunk heiress tilted her wine glass, watching the golden liquid swirl lazily before taking another sip.She then raised a perfectly manicured hand and snapped her fingers.A man in a flashy white suit appeared beside her, grinning like an idiot.Jack had never seen a man so eager to be a human footstool before.Sanaya gestured at him dramatically.“This is Elos, the owner of this cinema. And also… my man for the day.”Elos nodded quickly, licking his lips like a pathetic puppy.“That’s right! Miss Sanaya has my full loyalty tonight!”Jack glanced at him. Th

    Sanaya Garvos was a menace.She wasn’t just petty—she was childishly, ridiculously, outrageously petty.All because she didn’t want Emma Brooks to watch a movie.And the worst part? She was enjoying every second of it.She leaned lazily against a velvet chair in the cinema lobby, her wine glass swaying in her hand, eyes glinting with pure amusement.“Oh, Emma, darling, you really should just accept your loss.” She sighed dramatically. “The cinemas belong to me for the next three days. That means you’ll have to find another hobby. Knitting, maybe?”Emma, shaking with frustration, clenched her fists.Her pride refused to let her back down.“Fine! If you can rent them, so can I!” she snapped, turning to Elos. “I’ll offer ten million to book every cinema in the city!”The entire room fell silent.Even Elos, the greedy little rat of a cinema owner, choked on air.This was no longer a childish fight—this was a full-on battle of money.Sanaya, still grinning, flicked her hair.“Ten million?

    The atmosphere in the cinema lobby had completely shifted.Just moments ago, Sanaya Garvos had been smugly boasting about her power, blocking Emma Brooks from watching a simple movie.Now?She stood frozen in disbelief, watching as Charlotte Richard—one of the most powerful women in the city—completely ignored her and sided with Jack Sullivan.It was the first time in her life that Sanaya felt like she had been slapped in public.And it was only about to get worse.Charlotte barely spared Sanaya or Elos a glance as she turned toward Jack, her tone strict but not unkind.“Jack, I’d handle this myself, but I have a business meeting. I’ll leave my secretary to deal with it.”Jack shrugged, completely indifferent.“Go ahead. I don’t need help dealing with small-time idiots, but I’ll humor you.”Charlotte smirked slightly before nodding toward a sharp-dressed woman who had just entered the room.Jessica Lane.Charlotte’s personal secretary.The moment Jessica stepped forward, the air grew

    “Oh, and one last thing—Elos, you’re fired. Pack up and get out.”Elos looked like he was about to cry.The cinema lobby, once filled with chaos and arrogance, had finally calmed down.Elos had been kicked out like garbage. Sanaya had stormed off in humiliation. And Jack Sullivan?He was finally the proud new owner of the damn cinema.Jessica Lane, Charlotte Richard’s secretary, adjusted her glasses and turned toward Jack with her usual calm, professional tone.“Miss Richard will be driving home tonight.”The words were simple, but the weight behind them was anything but.Jack noticed how several heads turned, their ears practically twitching with curiosity.Emma, standing beside him, froze mid-celebration, blinking in confusion.Sanaya, who was supposedly gone, had actually lingered just outside the doors, eavesdropping.Jack narrowed his eyes slightly.Driving home?That phrasing was way too deliberate.And sure enough, it had the effect Jessica clearly wanted.Murmurs broke out.“W

    The theater was supposed to be quiet.Jack Sullivan had finally settled into his seat, Emma Brooks beside him, munching on popcorn like a happy child.After all the drama—Elos getting kicked out, Sanaya throwing her tantrum, Charlotte making a grand exit—Jack had finally thought he could enjoy a peaceful movie.But peace?It never lasted long in his life.Just as the film reached its first intense scene, a strange noise echoed through the theater.A low, rhythmic tapping.Jack’s ears twitched.Tap. Tap. Tap.It wasn’t part of the movie.Emma, completely oblivious, shoved another handful of popcorn in her mouth.Then—BANG. BANG. BANG.The sound grew louder, as if something was being pounded against the walls of the screening hall.Jack sighed, already knowing what was coming.“Stay here.”Emma, mid-chew, turned to him, confused.“Huh? What’s wrong?”Jack stood up, his expression bored but sharp.“Trouble.”Emma groaned, already annoyed.“Oh, come on! Can’t these idiots wait until the

    The tension in the theater had turned suffocating, but Jack Sullivan was as calm as ever.Warrior Ravol cracked his neck, eyes gleaming with battle lust.“Two options,” he growled, voice sharp and deep. “Die here in front of your little girlfriend… or choose somewhere more public. I’ll make it look like an accident. You pick the view.”Jack raised a brow. “Public? Please. I just don’t want your corpse staining my new floors.”Ravol’s smirk twitched. “Ah, so you want the rooftop. Easier to toss you off.”“Or easier for me to throw you off,” Jack said flatly, already walking away.Ravol laughed like Jack had told the best joke of the year. “Cocky till the end, huh?”Emma rushed after Jack, panic rising in her chest. “Jack, don’t go with him alone!”Jack didn’t even glance back. “He’s not the first guy who’s threatened to kill me. Won’t be the last.”Upstairs, the rooftop stretched wide beneath the moonlight. The wind whipped through Ravol’s long shirt as he rolled his shoulders like he

    The rooftop air was sharp with tension. Jack Sullivan stood alone, facing Warrior Ravol—forty years old, arrogant, and built like a war monument. His long martial shirt fluttered in the wind, and the smug glint in his eye screamed: I’ve never lost, and I won’t start now.Jack didn’t look impressed. If anything, he looked mildly annoyed.Ravol cracked his knuckles. “I gave you a chance to pick where you’d die. You chose the rooftop. Convenient. Easier to toss your body off and call it a tragic fall.”Jack’s voice was calm, bored. “Actually, I just didn’t want your blood ruining my new cinema floors. I own the place now. Try to keep up.”Behind them, Emma Brooks chewed her nails nervously, eyes darting between the two like a referee who didn’t sign up for this game.Suddenly—boots echoed from the rooftop stairs.“Stop!” a woman’s voice rang out.All heads turned.Julia Yates appeared, her figure silhouetted against the city lights. She moved with grace but urgency, her expression one of

    Ravol groaned against the rooftop railing, wheezing for air like a broken accordion. His pride had been shattered, and his bones weren’t far behind.Jack Sullivan turned away, calm as ever, cracking his neck like he’d just finished warming up for the real match.Emma, still stunned, muttered, “That was brutal…”Maxvier, munching popcorn from who-knew-where, raised a brow. “Brutal? That was charity. Jack could’ve folded him into a suitcase.”Julia Yates nodded solemnly. “He should be thanking Jack for leaving him alive.”“Too late for that,” came a new voice—low, cold, and dripping with malice.Everyone turned sharply.From the rooftop stairwell emerged a tall, lean figure cloaked in black, moving with ghost-like silence. His eyes gleamed like razors under the moonlight, and the moment he stepped into view, even the wind seemed to hold its breath.The Ghost.Emma’s throat tightened. “Wait… is that—?”Julia’s face went pale. “The Ghost…”Jack’s brows lifted slightly. He hadn’t seen this

    The Sullivan mansion dining room glowed with warm light from the crystal chandelier overhead. Servants moved silently, bringing course after course of exquisite dishes. Jack sat at the head of the table, his father having insisted on giving him the honored position tonight.Lisa observed the scene with new eyes. The elegant silverware, the deferential staff, the museum-quality paintings adorning the walls—all symbols of a legacy she hadn't fully comprehended until now."More wine, Mrs. Sullivan?" asked an elderly butler, bowing slightly as he approached her."Yes, thank you," Lisa replied, still unaccustomed to the formality.I married into this family thinking I was doing Jack a favor, she thought, watching her husband engage confidently with his parents. How wrong I was.Wendy noticed Lisa's contemplative expression. "Is everything alright, dear? You've barely touched your food.""I'm fine," Lisa assured her. "Just... taking it all in."Jack reached over, covering her hand with his.

    The morning sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the Sullivan mansion's dining room, casting long shadows across the antique furniture. Jack sat with his parents and Lisa, his wife, enjoying a breakfast that felt almost surreal after his long absence.Wendy couldn't stop smiling as she watched her son eat. Every few minutes, she'd reach out to touch his arm, as if confirming he was truly there, truly healed."I still can't believe it," she said, her voice full of wonder. "All these years, the doctors were so certain..."George nodded solemnly. "They said the damage was permanent. That you'd never fully recover your cognitive functions."Jack set down his coffee cup. "Medicine isn't always an exact science. Sometimes, things happen that can't be explained."Or things that I'm not ready to explain yet, he thought, remembering the experimental treatment he'd undergone in Carson City."Well, whatever happened," Wendy continued, "this changes everything for our family."Lisa watch

    The Shaw Group's executive suite gleamed under cold fluorescent lights as Dennis Chase, hand heavily bandaged, stood trembling before two imposing figures seated at the mahogany conference table."He cut off your finger?" Daniel Tian's voice was deceptively calm, but his knuckles whitened as he gripped his armrest.Dennis nodded miserably. "Yes, sir. With a blunt knife. Right there in front of everyone."Richard Shaw, the elder of the two, leaned forward. "And you said he purchased the herbs market? For a hundred million?""Called in five transfers from powerful business associates," Dennis mumbled. "Money appeared in minutes."Daniel suddenly slammed his fist against the table, making Dennis flinch. "First the One-Eyed Wolf's son, now this! Sullivan thinks he can challenge me?""This is a direct insult to our authority," Richard said, his voice cold and measured. "No one mutilates our people and walks away."This is the end of my career, Dennis thought, watching panic and fury dance

    "Now," Jack said quietly, his voice carrying effortlessly across the table. "A promise is a promise, Dennis."Dennis's arrogant facade crumbled completely. His eyes darted frantically around the room, searching for allies, finding none."Come on, Sullivan," he stammered, forcing a nervous laugh. "It was just a figure of speech. Nobody actually—""I believe your exact words were," Jack interrupted, his voice deadly calm, "'I'll cut off my pinky finger right here.' Did I misunderstand something?"Dennis pushed his chair back, standing abruptly. "This is ridiculous! You can't possibly expect me to—""Sit. Down." Jack's command sliced through the air like a blade.He never thought he'd have to pay up, Jack thought, watching the color drain from Dennis's face. People like him always expect to escape the consequences of their words.Dennis reluctantly sank back into his chair, his breathing shallow and rapid. "Look, I'm with the Shaw Group. Daniel Tian himself is my mentor. You can't just—"

    An uncomfortable silence settled over the table. The air was thick with tension as everyone exchanged sidelong glances, their expressions a mixture of pity and secondhand embarrassment for Jack's seemingly impossible promise.Dennis's mocking laughter broke the silence. "You? Buy the herbs market?" He shook his head dramatically, looking around the table for support. "Sullivan here is delusional. His family empire is crumbling, and he thinks he can pull out a hundred million?"Max's jaw tightened. "Jack doesn't make promises he can't keep.""Oh?" Dennis leaned forward, his eyes glinting with malice. "I'm so confident you're bluffing that I'll make you a promise, Sullivan." He placed his right hand on the table, spreading his fingers. "If you can actually produce that kind of money tonight, I'll cut off my pinky finger right here."Ruby gasped. "That's—""Accepted," Jack said calmly.They all think I'm finished, Jack thought, watching the expressions around the table. Even Ruby doesn't

    The air inside the private room of East Wind Building was so tense, it could have snapped. Jack Sullivan sat calmly, his face unreadable, while Max Carter still fumed at the blatant disrespect they had just witnessed.This is exactly what they wanted—to see us lose control, Jack thought, maintaining his composure despite the churning anger beneath.Across the table, Dennis Chase leaned back arrogantly, a smug grin plastered on his face."You think this is your territory, Max?" Dennis sneered, swirling the wine in his glass lazily. "News flash—you and your pathetic friend are nothing but fossils here."Max slammed his hand on the table, the loud thud making everyone jump. "Shut the hell up, Dennis! You're bullying Jack in our hometown? You think you can walk all over us?"Jack remained calm, almost eerily so, but inside, a slow storm was building. Dennis Chase... just another petty mouthpiece for people who think their power is permanent. They never learn that nothing lasts forever—esp

    The evening breeze carried a crisp chill as Jack Sullivan led Ruby through the grand entrance of East Wind Building, Eastridge City's most prestigious restaurant. Crystal chandeliers glittered overhead, and the polished marble floors gleamed under their steps.Ruby looked around nervously. "Jack, this place… it's too grand. I don't belong here."Jack squeezed her hand gently. "You belong wherever you want to be, Ruby. You saved my life once. Tonight, you stand beside me."They moved toward a private room where lively voices and laughter spilled into the hallway.Inside, a group of well-dressed young men sat around a massive round table. When Jack entered, a loud voice boomed."Jack Sullivan! You bastard, you’re finally back!" Max Carter, Jack’s childhood friend, stood up and strode over, grabbing Jack into a tight hug.Jack smiled faintly, clapping Max on the back. "It's been too long, Max."Max pulled back, eyes gleaming. "When we heard you had an accident and went crazy, we thought

    Late at night, One-Eyed Fox paced nervously in his private office, his fingers trembling as he dialed a special number.After several rings, a deep, commanding voice answered. "Yes?""Boss, it's me—Fox," he spoke quickly, voice shaking. "We’ve got a serious problem."On the other end, Daniel Tian, Eastridge City's most powerful figure, paused calmly. He sat at an elegantly set dining table, a distinguished guest seated opposite him, quietly sipping red wine.Daniel’s voice was indifferent, mildly annoyed at the interruption. "I’m busy, Fox. What’s so urgent?"Fox swallowed hard, anxiety clear in his tone. "It's Jack Sullivan—the eldest son of the Sullivan family. He killed my son, openly insulted me. This isn't something we can ignore."Daniel sighed, tapping a finger on his glass thoughtfully. "Fox, do you really expect me to drop everything because some spoiled Sullivan brat upset you?"Fox hesitated, embarrassment mingling with desperation. "But boss, he openly challenged us! He ev

    The atmosphere inside Wolf’s Den grew tense again as heavy footsteps echoed through the doorway. Jack turned slowly, his calm demeanor unshaken, while Ruby instinctively stepped closer to him.One-Eyed Fox stood framed in the doorway, holding a black pistol aimed steadily at Jack's head. His one good eye blazed with hatred and fury."You thought I’d just walk away?" One-Eyed Fox snarled. "You killed my son. I can’t let you walk out of here alive!"Jack regarded him calmly, unfazed by the weapon. "You’re sure about this? Killing me isn’t something you can just walk away from."One-Eyed Fox laughed bitterly. "You think your empty threats scare me? No one mocks me and lives. Not even you."As tension filled the room, Ruby suddenly stepped forward, desperate to defuse the situation. "Wait! Do you know who he is?"One-Eyed Fox’s eye narrowed suspiciously. "Who?"Ruby took a deep breath, her voice clear and firm. "He's Jack Sullivan—the eldest son of the Sullivan Family. The Sullivan family
