She shook her head, took a slow breath. “No. It’s done. I won’t waste more time on him.”

“But—”

“That’s enough,” she said, cutting him off. “We need to focus on what really matters—I don’t want any trouble that could make Jasmine back out. He is too close to Kingston right now.”

Reluctantly, Marco nodded.

Meanwhile, Alex arrived at Vancouver’s premier hospital.

Jasmine led him down a corridor into a VVIP suite, where an elderly woman—Elizabeth Kingston, Jasmine’s grandmother—lay pale and frail in a bed.

Her skin looked paper-thin, her lips were cracked, and her breathing was shallow. Several doctors stood nearby, looking grim.

“Jasmine, where have you been?” a man’s voice demanded.

Charles, Jasmine’s older brother, glared as soon as she walked in. “Grandma could be breathing her last, and you’re off who-knows-where?”

“Are you saying Grandma can’t be saved anymore, just because you believe there’s no hope?” Jasmine snapped back.

“I’m just telling the truth,” Charles retorted. “She’s in

    Elizabeth’s body jerked in a series of violent convulsions, her face turning a dusky blue as though the very breath of life were slipping away.Agony etched itself across her features, and her ragged scream ripped through the air, sending nurses and doctors scrambling to respond.Alarms blared from both sides of her bed, the machines’ frantic beeping echoing off the stark white walls, amplifying the sense of impending disaster.“What on earth is happening?” Dr. Yorick’s complexion went pale, his eyes brimming with shock.Jasmine’s expression hardened. “Explain this, Dr. Yorick!” she demanded, her voice laced with desperation.“That can’t be right… She was stable just a few hours ago,” he muttered, unease creeping into his tone.“Doctor, her heartbeat’s crashing!” a nurse shouted, voice high with urgency.“Get the defibrillator—now!” the head doctor barked.The medical team mobilized, hands flying as they fought to stabilize Elizabeth.But no matter what they did, the numbers on the mo

    The room fell into stunned silence after witnessing Elizabeth’s miraculous revival.Alex reached into his coat pocket and retrieved a small, unremarkable pill, placing it gently between Elizabeth’s lips.With practiced care, he helped her swallow.Charles looked like a man who had just watched his entire world crumble.He had orchestrated every possible detail to hasten his grandmother’s demise and claim the inheritance his father had long denied him.Yet here was Alex, undoing all of his schemes in an instant.In a surge of desperation, Charles leveled a furious glare at Dr. Yorick.Frightened, the doctor realized that if he failed to act, his life would be forfeit.Slowly, Yorick forced himself upright, eyes alight with rage. He snatched a surgical knife from the nearby tray and charged at Alex.“Die, you devil!” Yorick shrieked, his face contorted in rage.“You’ve made a deal with the devil to raise the dead—no human could do what you just did!”A wave of shocked gasps swept throug

    Alex rose to his feet, concern flickering in his gaze.“All right, I’ll take my leave now. Elizabeth, you need rest.”Jasmine stood up as well. “I’ll see you out,” she said, then turned to the old woman. “Nana, please don’t worry about Charles. You should rest, too.”Elizabeth closed her eyes, heaving a tired sigh.“You’re right, child. It’s not like I don’t know his temper after all these years. Maybe it’s my fault for spoiling him too much.”Meanwhile, in another hospital room down the hallway, a similar scene was unraveling—albeit with far more chaos.Jack, every inch of him in bandages, lay moaning on his hospital bed.Thick plaster casts wrapped around both legs, and his head was swathed so tightly that only his nose and mouth showed.His eyes burned with anger.“Mom! I can’t believe Alex actually hit me. You have to teach that bastard a lesson he’ll never forget!” he whined, nearly spitting with rage.Florence smoothed her hand over Jack’s blanket as if to soothe him. “Don’t wo

    Four black vans thundered onto the street like a posse riding in at high noon.They skidded to a stop, pinning Jasmine’s limousine from the front and rear.About twenty men poured out, each one armed to the teeth and hiding behind masks. Their leader—burly, tatted up, and mean as a rattlesnake—stepped right up to the window, pounding on the glass with his fist. “Both of you get out, or we’ll blow this tin can to pieces!” he snarled. Inside the limo, Jasmine’s face went pale. The driver looked just as rattled. “Driver,” came Alex’s calm voice. “Y-yes?” the driver stammered, too stunned to keep his voice steady. “I hear this car’s sound system can rattle bones. Mind turnin’ it up to full blast?” Alex leaned back, eyes half-lidded like he hadn’t a care in the world. The driver blinked. “What?” ‘Is this fella crazy?’ he thought. ‘Bullets are spraying outside, and he wants music?’“Classical, if you’ve got it,” Alex added, letting his eyes fall closed. Jasmine watched him, her own

    Suddenly, there was only silence in the car.The four black vans had already driven away in a hurry, leaving their friends' bodies sprawled on the asphalt.The surrounding cars, whose drivers had witnessed the scene, stayed far away, unwilling to get involved."Hey, driver," Alex called out. "Don’t you think it’s time to move out? What are you waiting for?"The driver, who had been enjoying the music accompanying his journey to the afterlife, slowly opened his eyes and glanced around.A jolt of shock ran through him. The obstruction that had once blocked his path was gone."Yes, yes, Sir."He hastily pushed the pedal, and as the car started moving, it bumped slightly—rolling over the bodies on the road.Jasmine stared out of the window, her eyes lost in the blue sky and the rows of passing houses."Don’t you want to ask who they were?" Alex asked, breaking the heavy silence."Not really," Jasmine replied, her voice soft but dismissive."They’re like cockroaches—keep coming after me. H

    For the first time in her life, Sophia felt a weight in her chest she couldn’t quite name.She stood there, rooted to the spot, staring at a woman who had been born into wealth—someone who’d likely never experienced a single day of real hardship.And that woman was standing by Sophia’s ex-husband’s side.It hit her like a slow, aching punch.The man who had once been hers now belonged to someone else.She didn’t think she loved Alex anymore—did she?—yet watching him move on so quickly still stung, a harsh reminder of just how easily she’d been cast aside.Sophia tried to steady herself, but her eyes slid toward the woman beside him.Jasmine.The sight of her sparked an awkward, throbbing ache in Sophia’s chest.It wasn’t exactly jealousy, but it was close. She caught the assessing look in Jasmine’s gaze—a flicker of cool curiosity that made Sophia feel dissected.Then Jasmine’s posture shifted, her shoulders squaring, as if silently declaring her territory.“Alex, who is this woman?”

    Alex’s expression remained calm, almost bored."Don’t worry about me. What I do is none of your concern.”Marco’s lip curled in disdain. “I figured. Better to bluff your way in than admit you don’t belong.”His voice softened as he turned to Jasmine, an oily charm coating his words.“Listen, sweetheart, let me save you the headache. Don’t be fooled by this guy—Alex is no trust-fund prince. He’s got nothing, and he sure as hell doesn’t deserve a woman like you.”In Marco’s mind, there was no way a rich, beautiful woman like Jasmine would willingly choose a down-on-his-luck man like Alex.He had to have tricked her—what other explanation could there be?But Jasmine’s laughter rang out—loud, unrestrained, and entirely unladylike.It was the kind of laugh that made everyone in the room turn their heads.It was as if she’d just heard the punchline of the funniest joke in the world.Tears pricked the corners of her eyes as she struggled to catch her breath.She borrowed a billion dollars fr

    "Fine. So, this is how it ends."Sophia’s voice wavered, fragile yet determined, but his distant, unrecognizable gaze felt like the final, unspoken goodbye.A bittersweet ache unfurled in her chest.He had come into her life like an uninvited storm—disrupting everything—and now, he was leaving just as unexpectedly, at the worst possible time.Perhaps the only choice left was to let him go, to let his memory dissolve like a fading dream at dawn.“Sure,” Alex said, managing to keep his expression blank, though something deep inside him gave a sharp, uneasy twinge.He told himself there was no point in chasing after a woman who continually pushed him aside.Sophia had never truly trusted him anyway—maybe separation would be best for them both.“Ms. Lancaster…” Jasmine’s silken voice cut through the tension as she stepped forward with a sweet-but-not-so-innocent smile.“Your decision might’ve been a little foolish, but I have to say—thank you.”Sophia gave her a sideways look. “And what e

    Charles made it painfully clear he was out for blood this time, determined to humiliate Alex in front of the entire Kingston family.He leaned back in his chair, sneering as though he owned the room.“So, genius,” Alex drawled sarcastically.“You’re telling me this Lydia—the one who tried to murder Jasmine and backstab Jasmine Kingstons—is the same woman you wanted me to just let walk free? Are you off your meds, or do you have a permanent vacancy sign dangling in that empty head of yours?”Charles’s face twitched, eyes glinting with dangerous rage.“How dare you question me? Even if she’s a traitor, Lydia was one of ours. Who gave you the right to kill her?”“The Kingstons handle Kingston business, not some no-name punk like you! Ever think of choosing your battles correctly before butting into our family affairs?”Alex scoffed, a sharp laugh slicing through the tense air.“Oh, sure. I help clear out a scumbag who tried to assassinate your own flesh and blood, and instead of thanks,

    An hour later, Alex and Jasmine strolled through the grand double doors of Kingston Mansion as if it were a casual Sunday jaunt.At the center of the lavish sitting room sat Charles, flanked by Jessica (Jasmine’s mother) and an elegant old man with a posture so rigid it might crack.The old man’s eyes roved over everything with quiet calculation.Jasmine’s heartbeat thudded in her ears, but she managed a cold smile. “Mother, you summoned me. Spill.”Jessica’s expression was as frosty as the marble floors beneath them. “I want no family drama right now—only professionalism. Can you do that, Jasmine?”Jasmine turned to Charles and raised an eyebrow. “I assume you have some brilliance to share, big brother?”Charles steepled his fingers in theatrical calm, but his tone snapped like a whip.“Let’s skip the niceties. You and I both own shares of Kingston Pharmaceuticals, but the bulk belongs to Mother’s side of the family. They’ve appointed me to evaluate your… performance.” His smugness d

    Alex stood in the dimly lit alley, arms stiff at his sides, completely paralyzed by Jasmine’s audacious invitation.She stood inches from him, eyes squeezed shut, lips pursed like she was about to deliver the world’s most exasperated kiss.“Are you kidding me right now?” he blurted, heart hammering. “What’s wrong with your mouth? Need me to check or something?”Jasmine cracked an eye open, her mouth twisting into a smirk that sparkled with wicked amusement.“I’m letting you kiss me, genius,” she muttered. “Don’t tell me you’re too thickheaded to figure that out.”Alex’s jaw dropped.He was sure he looked like a landed fish gasping for air.“You’re messing with me,” he rasped, eyes darting away. “This can’t be good.”Jasmine rolled her eyes so hard he half expected to hear a clicking sound. “It’s not my fault you’re clueless. I’m practically giving it away here.”“…”“Look,” Jasmine hissed, leaning in closer, to Alex “I’m doing this once. And if you don’t take it now, then consider tha

    Henry stood tall, even though his knees were practically quivering under Alex’s gaze.Pride wouldn’t let him back down. After all, if he caved now, he’d never live it down.“Kill me? Seriously, pal? What, you think you’re some hotshot assassin?” Henry spat, his chest heaving.“Let me tell you something: You so much as graze me the wrong way, and your body’s gonna be nothing but confetti.”Alex cocked an eyebrow, then smacked Henry in the back of the head hard enough to make him stagger.The force felt like a semi-truck plowing through Henry’s skull.“Confetti, huh?” Alex sneered, stepping closer.“I just about rattled your brain, and guess what? I’m still breathing. Look, you threatened my family, so everything’s fair game now. Ready to die? I can make that happen—no problem.”Henry stumbled, heart pounding.He could practically taste death in the air, and it was nothing like his empty bluster.Dropping to his knees, he swallowed his shame as if it were a knife scraping down his throa

    A flicker of moonlight glanced off Alex’s eyes as he loomed over Raymond, whose entire body quaked in terror.One arm dangled uselessly, shattered by Alex’s impossible strength.Cold sweat rolled down Raymond’s temples, the pain shooting through his bones in relentless waves.He couldn’t wrap his mind around it.How had this young man crippled him so swiftly—so effortlessly? With a flick?“W-who are you?” Raymond choked out, voice raw with panic.All his life, he’d amassed power and influence, yet here he was, reduced to a groveling mess by a single young man’s might.Alex’s expression was ice-cold. “You know who I am, Raymond. Stop pretending otherwise.”Every nerve in Raymond’s body screamed in agony.He tried scrambling backward like a wounded animal, breath heaving.“I—I don’t need the miracle pills formula. Just let me go!”“I offered you a chance,” Alex said evenly, his voice hollow. “You spat on it. Now, there’s no going back.”Raymond opened his mouth to plead again, but Alex’

    Henry Dupont’s voice cut through the room like the crack of a whip.“Raymond, don’t get ahead of yourself. If you want my father’s backing, there are two conditions. First, provide the miracle pill in a steady supply. Second, prove your loyalty—beyond a shadow of doubt. Understood?”Raymond nodded, swallowing his annoyance. “I understand, Mr. Dupont.”He needed the support of Chicago’s Dupont family— one of the five ruling powers operating under the Chicago Lords banner—to solidify his position.If the Kingstons destroyed themselves in Vancouver, the Duponts might just help him take it over.Before either man could speak again, a crash and frantic yells erupted from the garden.“What’s going on?” Raymond snapped, eyes narrowing.A bodyguard stumbled into the room, his face ashen. “Boss—someone’s broken in!”Raymond rose from his chair in a surge of rage. “Who is it? How many?”“We couldn’t get a good look. It’s too dark... but he’s alone,” the guard stammered. “We tried to stop him, b

    The Sub-Inspector sighed, like a man too tired to care anymore.He raised his sidearm.Viper shrieked, voice cracking in terror. “No, no, no! I made mistake but you can’t just kill me! There’s a procedure—a trial! I want my lawyer! There’s still law in this country, right?!” Alex glanced over his shoulder, voice cold.“Relax, Viper. You won’t be alone. Your boss Raymond’s next in line.”The door clicked shut behind them as a single gunshot shattered Viper’s last plea.Sophia half-turned, just in time to catch a glimpse of Viper’s body hitting the concrete in a lifeless heap.They stepped outside, the faint evening light hitting their faces like a cruel reminder this was real.Across the street stood Jasmine, flanked by her own bodyguards.Her expression flickered with worry before twisting into a scowl the moment she spotted Alex’s hand clutching Sophia’s.She stalked over in her designer heels, posture rigid, eyes brimming with rage.“Well, well,” she snapped, crossing her arms.“Lo

    One of the younger cops, barely out of the academy, threw his rifle to the ground and stumbled backward.“Please—I don’t want any part of this! I’m just a rookie, damn it! I don’t even understand what’s going on—don’t lump me in with that psycho!”His voice trembled as he backed away from the carnage.Like a dam finally bursting, other officers followed suit, hands in the air, weapons clattering to the floor. No one wanted a ticket straight to hell alongside Bernard.Bernard’s eyes darted around, his bravado wobbling.“So, that’s it? You’re all turning on me?” He sneered, but his lip quivered. “You idiots really don’t understand the consequences of defying the police, do you?”Kelly cocked her head, a lazy smirk twisting her lips.“Oh, that’s cute—you think you still have any authority here?” She rolled her eyes. “Go ahead, throw your weight around. We’re shaking in our boots, right?”She stepped right into Bernard’s face and slapped him hard, the crack echoing.“Little man with a shi

    Mr. Bernard glowered at Alex, jabbing a thick finger into his chest.“Kid, your woman here’s the only one with a damn brain. Listen to her while you still can. Confess, turn yourself in—and maybe, just maybe, you’ll live long enough to see the sun rise again. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you’re hunted down like a rabid dog.”His voice shook with anger, cheeks flushing as he spat out every syllable.“I’m a cop, boy. I’ve got the entire force in my back pocket. Face me if you want, but you’re playing with fire!”Alex locked eyes with him, silent. Then, in one swift move, he drove his boot into Bernard’s gut. The impact sent the man lurching.“You’re not worthy to wear that badge.”Bernard’s gag echoed around the small interrogation room.He lurched forward, retching violently, his half-digested dinner splashing onto the concrete.As if that weren’t enough, the sour stench of urine followed. Bernard’s face flamed, tears mixing with sweat.“You—You piece of shit!” he sputtered between wheezi
