“We’ll drive out of Vermont, and once we’re past the Vancouver border, Jericho Kane can kiss my ass,” Jasmine declared, her voice tight with determination.Kelly huddled over a map, tapping a spot with her finger. “It’s about an eight-hour haul from here,” she noted. “But once we link up with Lydia’s chopper, we’re golden.”Jasmine nodded. “She’s on standby. As soon as we reach the rendezvous, we’ll be in the clear.”Her jaw clenched as she glanced at the winding roads ahead. “But first, we’ve gotta ditch Kane’s goons.”They formed a quick plan: three SUVs taking three different routes, each one a decoy to confuse any potential pursuers.Jasmine, Kelly, Alex, and two bodyguards piled into one of the vehicles.For a while, they sped down forest-lined roads, winding turns making it feel like the trees were closing in. Just as they approached a fork:CRASH!A massive tree slammed down, blocking the road completely. The driver cursed, slamming on the brakes.Dark shapes materialized from

Two of Lydia’s soldiers lunged at Alex in a synchronized move, each trying to knock him off balance with a forceful kick aimed at his knee.The blows landed, but Alex didn’t budge an inch.It felt, to them, like their legs had just collided with a slab of solid iron.One soldier let out a strangled cry as he crumpled to the ground, clutching his shattered shin.The other toppled over next to him, howling in agony.“Y-you monster!” another soldier snarled, leveling his weapon at Alex’s head.Several more followed suit, forming a ring of gun barrels pointed straight at him.Suddenly, one of the men who’d been aiming at Alex turned his rifle away from its target.Without warning, he pulled the trigger—twice—blowing the heads off two of his own comrades in a grisly, explosive spray.“What the hell just happened?” someone shouted, horror-stricken.“I—I don’t know!” cried the shooter, eyes wide with panic. “My hand… it moved on its own!”“Drop that damn gun!” barked another soldier, voice t

Inside, Kelly sat on one side, her jaw clenched so hard it was a wonder her teeth didn’t crack.“They're traitors, Jasmine,” Kelly hissed, eyes burning. “Dirty, backstabbing traitors. And you know what we do with traitors?”“We crush them. We make them regret the day they decided to cross us.”Jasmine pressed two fingers against her temple, trying to will away the headache that pounded behind her eyes.She’d had enough chaos for one day.“I get it, Kelly,” she said in a low voice. “But we need a real plan.”Kelly’s eyes flickered with frustration.“You want a plan? How about we start by tossing every piece of human trash that came out of Detroit or Winston? You heard that bastard Charles—he’s still got connections everywhere.”A muscle in Jasmine’s cheek twitched.If only she’d been more ruthless, if only she’d shut the door on Charles for good.But regrets wouldn’t keep them safe now.“Jasmine, Hesitation is the enemy of power. Strike first, or be struck down."“You know we can’t jus

After countless hours of darkness, Alex’s eyes finally fluttered open.A dull ache pulsed through his entire body.“Alex, you’re awake?”The relief in Kelly’s voice practically echoed off the sterile hospital walls.Her eyes were brimming with unshed tears, and before he knew what was happening, she latched onto him in a fierce hug.“You had me scared half to death,” she whispered, voice trembling. “Don’t ever pull something like that again.”Alex gave a weak chuckle, trying to shift into a more comfortable position.“I’m fine, Kelly. Quit looking at me like I’m about to keel over any second. Where… where am I?”Before Kelly could respond, the door swung open with a loud click.Jasmine glided in, followed by Lyra, each looking polished and stunning in their own right.“Alex!” Jasmine exclaimed, her tone tinged with urgency. She rushed to his bedside. “Thank God you’re alright. We were worried.”Alex offered her a faint smile. “Little banged up, but I’ll live.”Jasmine’s gaze flickered

With a warm smile, Charles crossed his arms and spoke to Jasmine in a voice as soft and sweet as honey.“I don’t have time to play games with you, sis. But if you ever realize that your greed has led you astray—if God spares you—and you decide to hand back what’s rightfully mine, then come find me. Return the throne of Vancouver to its true king.”He turned sharply on his heel, tossing a final jab over his shoulder. “I hope you figure out the right path instead of chasing demons. But I won’t hold my breath.”Jasmine stood there, her eyes wide in disbelief.Their father had once assured her that Vancouver would belong to her, while Charles got Los Angeles.How could Charles now claim that he was in the right—and she was the one in the wrong?Alex placed a comforting hand on Jasmine’s arm.“You know how it is when someone sets their desire and ambition on something. They’ll rationalize anything to get it—destroy whomever they need to, all under the guise of good intentions.”The road to

Florence forced on a syrupy smile for Dr. Foster, then wheeled around to face Alex with fire in her eyes.“Dr. Foster, please ignore this piece of garbage. He’s clueless.”“Alex, shut your damn mouth! You’re trying to sabotage Grandfather’s treatment, aren’t you? Trying to nab the inheritance early? Is that why you’d rather see Abraham die? God, you’re disgusting.”Alex merely shrugged, seemingly unfazed. “All I’m saying is if Dr. Foster doesn’t even notice there’s poison at play, then yeah, I question his qualifications.”Dr. Foster’s face hardened, his eyes flashing with indignation. “Boy, do you have any idea who you’re mouthing off to? That kind of disrespect can cost you dearly.”Alex crossed his arms. “I heard you’re Jonathan Owens’s apprentice—nothing more. If treatment’s needed, it should come from the master himself. You’re still wet behind the ears.”Florence gasped at Alex’s audacity.The rest of the family practically bristled with rage, while Charles, standing nearby, off

“Who says I can’t cure him?” Vincent demanded boldly, his eyes flashing with defiance. “My medicine is still working, but you—putting all these strange needles into his body—you’re making him worse! You’re killing him!”Alex let out a sharp sneer. “So you’re saying this is my fault?”“Of course, it’s your fault! If anything goes wrong, you should take full responsibility!” Vincent barked.In truth, he had been panicking earlier, unsure if his treatment would work.But now that Alex had appeared, disrupting everything, he saw the perfect opportunity to shift the blame.‘Thank the heavens!’ Vincent thought. Finally, a scapegoat.Alex’s lips curled in mockery. “You’re not good at anything besides shifting blame. I don’t understand how you can be a doctor.”“You bastard! What the hell are you talking about?! I’ll kick your ass!” Vincent exploded, his patience snapping.Alex didn’t even flinch. His gaze turned cold, sharp like a blade. “Go ahead and try—if you don’t mind dying.”Vincent’s

Charles wore an over-the-top humble expression, all but shrugging off the family’s astonishment.The room, once filled with the quiet hum of relief, was now heavy with tense curiosity.Dr. Vincent was still reeling from the shock when he practically shouted, “Of course! It was the Miracle Pill! That’s why it worked so damn fast!”Sophia’s brow furrowed. “Miracle Pill? Are we supposed to know what that is?”Vincent’s eyes glistened with something close to fanatic awe.“They call it a miracle for a reason. It’s so rare, it practically doesn’t exist. Legend says it was crafted by some old sage who lived—wait for it—five hundred years!”His words set the Lancaster family abuzz. Some whispered in disbelief; others stared, transfixed.“And the person who got it from,” Vincent added, voice low and dramatic, “claimed she nearly sold her soul just to lay hands on one.”A collective gasp rippled through the family.A pill so powerful it could haul someone back from death’s door? It sounded like

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

Ten Minutes EarlierAlex and Sophia sat side by side in the dimly lit interrogation room, their wrists and ankles cuffed with heavy chains bolted to the floor.Sophia’s breathing grew ragged.She hated how the gloom pricked at her brain with worst-case scenarios.“Alex,” she said quietly, her voice trembling, “do you honestly think we’ll get out of here alive?”Alex didn’t move at first.His gaze stayed locked on the metal door. “We will,” he finally muttered. “We’re walking out of this place in one piece. I guarantee it.”A humorless laugh escaped Sophia’s lips.“Easy for you to say. You haven’t had nightmares about this creep, Mr. Bernard. His record in the station is as dirty as it gets.”She swallowed hard, her next words barely above a whisper. “And with Sir Raymond pulling the strings, it’s like they have the entire city in their pocket. We don’t stand a chance.”Alex turned to face her then—really turned, with a look that pinned her in place. “Sophia, have you ever trusted me?

Inside his office.Bernard slouched in his plush leather chair, puffing cigar smoke toward the ceiling like he owned the entire damn city—which, if you asked him, he practically did.“Hey, Mr. Bernard,” Viper began, voice taut. “Any chance that scrawny Kid confessed yet?”Bernard snorted, a cruel grin twisting his jowls.“Confess, not confess—doesn’t make a damn bit of difference. That clueless little runt’ll talk soon enough. They all break under pressure in the end.”Viper rubbed a hand over his mouth, “You sure? If I were you, I’d handle him quick. Things can get…unpredictable.”Bernard slammed his meaty fist on the desk, the thud echoing off the walls.“You telling me how to run my station? My station. My rules. I call the shots here, and don’t you dare forget it.”Viper raised both palms in surrender.“Easy, Mr. Bernard, easy. I know you’re the king around these parts. I just fear the Kid has someone big in his corner. Powerful folks poking their noses in your business can turn e

The clang of metal against concrete shattered the silence, and the heavy door groaned open.A harsh overhead light snapped on, searing Alex’s and Sophia’s eyes until they squeezed them shut.Their hearts thumped in the stale, suffocating darkness, though Alex wore a calm look that bordered on nonchalance.A broad-shouldered man lumbered in, sporting a gut that looked like it belonged in a beer commercial.He dropped onto a rickety chair beside the table, flipped a switch on the lamp, and leaned in with a smirk that made Sophia’s stomach knot.“Pfft. So you’re Alex,” he drawled, voice dripping with contempt.Alex kept his gaze steady, adjusting to the glare. “Yeah. I’m Alex. Nice to meet you, I guess.”The man’s smirk widened. “You have any idea who I am?”Sophia met his stare but didn’t speak.Alex simply shrugged. “Beats me.”The big man made a show of puffing up his chest. “Name’s Bernard. Folks around here call me ‘The Vampire.’ Not that I’m a bloodsucker by choice—I just do what n

Alex glared at them all, his patience long gone. “Next time, I’ll just watch while they hack off your damned hand,” he snapped, turning away from the group.Sophia squared her shoulders and stepped closer, voice cold and unwavering.“You think you’re such hot stuff, don’t you? Don’t let a little backing from Jasmine Kingston make you stupid. I’m telling you to think before you throw your weight around.”She raised an eyebrow, her tone dripping with condescension.“Face it, Alex. It’s one thing to have powerful friends pave your way, but it’s another to actually have the chops to keep climbing. Don’t trick yourself into believing you’re invincible. Let this be my final warning.”Alex rolled his eyes, letting out a derisive chuckle. “You talk like you’re some holy saint who’s got it all figured out. You’re so sure I’m just mooching off the powerful?”“Oh, spare me the act,” Sophia shot back, spitting the words like venom.“If Jasmine Kingston hadn’t put her name on the line, Viper would
