The Almighty Dominance Chapter 43
Sophia felt a sinking sensation, as if she were being asked to betray her grandfather.Suddenly, Mrs. Lancaster interrupted sharply."Sophia, you need to ask that loser for the $100 million back. We need that money to secure Lancaster's future with Kingston.""$100 million?" Sophia's confusion deepened."Word is, you handed that nobody $100 million just for not sleeping with you!" Mrs. Lancaster sneered, her voice dripping with contempt.All eyes in the room snapped to Sophia.Lyra, her voice rising with fury, demanded, "You gave that loser $100 million?!""No!" Sophia quickly defended herself, knowing there had to be some mistake."He was just boasting again. I only gave him $100,000 for accommodation for not seeping here. Where would I even get $100 million?"But Lyra wasn't buying it.She snatched Sophia's phone aggressively. "Let's call him and demand the money back.""But..." Sophia stammered, her voice shaky."No buts. You're divorcing him tonight! Why leave any money with him n

Lyra's voice shook with anger as she said, "Yesterday, you claimed the invitation card and the jewelry were from you. And now you're saying that BioHealth Solutions—a company that's been profitable every day and has a long history as one of the best in Vancouver—is going bankrupt."She laughed bitterly."Really? You're going to such lengths to blame Chris! I have to admit, you're consistent."Alex's expression turned cold as he looked at them through the screen of his phone."Kingston will cut ties with BioHealth. It'll become a worthless company," he said flatly."Cut off by the Kingston family?""A useless company?"One by one, disbelief spread through the room."Nonsense, all of it is nonsense. How could Kingston cut a decade-long collaboration while my father is in Los Angeles opening a new Kingston branch?" Chris asked sharply."Alex," Jack called out, "everyone except you knows that BioHealth is doing well—even better than our Lancaster company. I suggest you keep quiet before C

"Alex, these are the divorce papers Sophia prepared. All you need to do is sign them," Lyra said, placing the documents on the café table."Where is Sophia?" Alex asked, his eyes fixed on Lyra.Despite her undeniable beauty, every word she spoke dripped with venom."She's busy transferring money. Listen, Alex," Lyra leaned in, her voice icy."While I'm still being civil, just sign the papers. End this. You can't keep scamming her. For God's sake, let her go!"Alex sighed. His only reason for marrying Sophia was to find clues about his mother and to honor his master's wish."If she wants a divorce, she should tell me herself," he replied calmly.Lyra shook her head. "I know you're not happy about this, but just accept it. You're not right for her. Don't make this harder—just sign the papers."He crossed his arms, sensing her disdain.Maybe she didn't just hate him; maybe she despised all men without wealth."Alex, stop dragging this out!""You can yell all you want, but I need to hear
The Almighty Dominance Chapter 46
Alex sat at a café table, his mind drifting as fragments of his memory began to unravel.He couldn't quite recall his mother's face, but he remembered this medallion she had given him."Alex, if you ever get lost, use this medallion to find your way home." Her voice had been urgent, full of warning.He remembered her telling him to hide, someone was chasing them. But who? He couldn't piece it together.The next memory was of him waking up at the orphanage, the medallion already gone from his possession.These must have been his memories before he ended up there.Touching the cold surface of the medal, Alex knew he had to track it down to find his mother and reclaim his past.Suddenly his phone rang."Alex," Jasmine's voice was soft but tense."Yes?""Can you help me by accompanying me to my banquet?"Alex wanted to refuse, but he remembered his promise to Abraham—to ensure the Kingston partnership was handed over to the Lancasters, even though Sophia had divorced him.His mission to f

It was evening at Heaven, the most exclusive club in Vancouver—a place where only the wealthiest mingled.The building resembled a colossal glass dome, showcasing the splendor of the night sky—though the view could be adjusted to suit any desired theme.Tonight, it was transformed for a "Royal Gathering," replicating a banquet celebrating a king, a queen, and a princess's first public appearance.The décor was classic yet elegant, adorned with sculptures inspired by antiquity, exuding an air of grandeur.Guests began to arrive, strolling through the gardens and admiring the fountains and ornate decorations.A sleek black Mercedes pulled up to the entrance, where the red carpet awaited.A stunning woman in an elegant evening gown stepped out, immediately drawing every gaze.Shortly after, another equally beautiful woman arrived, capturing everyone's attention."Who are those gorgeous women? Are they famous actresses?" a reporter whispered, snapping photos rapidly."That's Sophia Lancas
The Almighty Dominance Chapter 48
Sophia just wanted to ask Alex politely—just as her grandfather had advised—about who he really was.It dawned on her that she'd been prejudiced against him from the start, never giving him a fair shot.Maybe there was still something worth salvaging.But did Alex have to make everything so damn difficult?"Alex, I get it—you hate me for divorcing you, and now you're parading your new arm candy around to rub it in my face. Do you realize this is exactly why I left you?" Sophia didn't hold back."My mistake, huh?" Alex raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance."I gave you countless chances to redeem yourself, but you were too clueless to get it!" she snapped, her patience wearing thin."A chance?" Alex looked genuinely puzzled."Can't you see? I tried to talk to you in private, but instead, you flaunt your ego and make everything worse," Sophia's tone was icy. Her CEO pride wouldn't let her back down, especially not with Jasmine hanging off his arm like that."So let me get this straight—

Lyra, standing beside Chris, suddenly chimed in, "Chris, your wedding is tomorrow. Maybe try not to ogle every woman who crosses your path?"Chris frowned, shooting her an annoyed glance. "Since when is being nice a crime?""Nice? There's a fine line between being nice and being a creep," Lyra retorted, firmly siding with Sophia."Fine," Chris muttered, knowing his little trick wasn't working. He turned back to Jasmine."Gorgeous," he called out, flashing a grin. "How about you join us? That man there is undeserving of your attention. He’ll only try to scam your money."Jasmine gently touched Alex's chin and smiled."Oh, Alex," she said softly. "All I have is money. If that's the only reason you'll give me your attention, just name your price. I have a hundred million with me now. If that’s not enough, just tell me—I still have some more at home.""Lady," Chris interrupted suddenly, trying to sound suave."You're beautiful, and you don’t need to give money just to get attention. Peopl

"Let’s just forget him," Sophia said, her mood already souring.She realized she'd never understand that jerk. "The banquet is about to start. Let’s find our seats."The banquet was set with round tables, each seating about six guests.The closer the table to the front, the more important the guests were.To Sophia and Lyra's shock, when they checked their invitation cards, they were assigned to the very front—the VIP table."Chris, your father really pulled some strings to get us the best invitations, didn’t he?" Sophia commented.Chris wore a proud expression. "Of course, my father is very important to the Kingstons. That’s why I told you not to worry about the partnership—you’ll have it."As they moved toward the front, they were stunned to find Jasmine and Alex already seated at their table, laughing and talking closely."Alex," Chris approached, irritation clear in his voice. "Do you know this table is reserved for special invitations only? How dare you sit here? And how did you

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

Alex strode down the corridor leading to the VIP room, but he didn’t need to look over his shoulder to sense it.The tension.The ring of bodyguards fanning out behind the walls, posted at every exit and window.With a quick mental sweep, he detected their martial auras, each one bristling with skill far beyond the average rent-a-thug.So Raymond’s rolling out the red carpet, huh? he mused, lips twisting into a wry grin.No matter. He pushed the door open and stepped inside.“Raymond,” he said, skipping pleasantries, “you told me you’d secured a five-hundred-year-old Wild American Ginseng. I’m here for it. Where is it?”Raymond Wellington—dressed sharp in a tailored suit—lounged on the plush armchair like he was king of the world.“So impatient,” he teased, clapping his hands once.A bodyguard slipped in, carrying a polished wooden box.Raymond took his time setting it on the table between them, sliding the lid open slowly—almost theatrically.Inside lay a dark-yellow root, no bigger

Viper’s ragged breath filled the silence. His eyes stayed locked on Alex, hate and grudging respect mingling in his stare.“Fine, kid,” he muttered at last, swallowing his pride. “We’ll call it quits. You let me go, I let all of you walk out alive.”The punk in white gaped at him. “B-but, Big Bro—”Viper rounded on him, snapping, “Shut your mouth! I don’t need a backseat driver right now.”Alex watched him a moment longer, then slowly loosened his grip.The jagged glass came away from Viper’s throat, leaving a thin line of blood behind.The whole bar practically exhaled in relief.Even the punk in white flinched and pulled his knife away from Jack’s neck, shoving the idiot forward.Jack went flying into Sophia, who just barely kept him from hitting the floor.Florence rushed over, fussing like a mother hen that forgot she’d been insulting Alex five seconds ago.Viper rolled his shoulders, rubbing at the red streak on his neck.“You’ve got more nerve than most losers who show their fac

“Who the hell does this asshole think he is, going up against Sir Viper?” A wave of chatter rippled through the crowd:“Dude’s suicidal…”“Balls of steel, though. Nobody messes with Viper and lives.”“If it’d been me, I’d have chucked that bottle and sprinted the hell outta here, not strolled in like some badass.”Sophia stared at Alex, stunned.She hadn’t expected to see him here—much less launching beer bottles at Vancouver’s most notorious underworld boss.“Wh-what are you doing?” she whispered, half in awe, half in terror.Viper stepped forward, radiating pure menace. “And just who the hell are you, smartass? Think you can waltz in and break my men’s heads, then tell me to call it quits?”Alex merely flicked his gaze over Viper’s bloody henchmen.“My name doesn’t matter. For your own good, I’m telling you to walk away while you still can.”His tone was calm, almost bored—as if he was talking about the weather.The veins in Viper’s neck bulged.“Walk away? Did you just say ‘walk

Heads whipped around at the sudden commotion to reveal a tall man swaggering into the bar like he owned every inch of it.A ragged scar cut across his cheek, and a half-smoked cigar jutted from the corner of his mouth.He had one arm draped possessively around a voluptuous brunette, while the other hand hovered near his hip—exactly where a holstered pistol might be.The crowd in Paradiso parted like they were avoiding a contagious plague.Even Charles felt a spike of dread sink into his gut.“Big Bro, you made it!” The young man in white hurried over, relief etched on his face.“Got ourselves a little situation here. These jackasses want you—of all people—to kneel and apologize.” He practically spat the last word.Viper gave Charles a flat, indifferent stare. “So you’re the genius demanding I apologize, huh?”Charles, never one to swallow his pride, jutted his chin defiantly. “Your goons messed with one of my men. Don’t you think you owe him a little regret—and compensation?”Viper ra

“You think you scare me just ‘cause you are challenging me to a fight to the death? I might be old, but I’m not afraid to risk my life with the likes of you.”Her bold words completely clashed with the way she stumbled backward, nearly tripping over her own feet.If anyone bothered looking, they’d notice how badly her hands were shaking.Sophia, trying to defuse the tension, raised her palms.“Look, there’s no need to blow this out of proportion. Can we at least talk this through and figure out what happened before limbs start flying?”The man in white cocked an eyebrow and gestured at Jack like he was pointing at a piece of trash.“Why don’t you ask that genius what happened? He strolled in, grabbed my woman like a drooling dog, and threw punches at my men when they told him to back off.”“That’s more than enough reason to hand him a lesson. Now you show up like a pack of chihuahuas, yapping about calling more people to bust up my bar?”Sophia’s gaze swung to Jack. The idiot was stil
