The Almighty Dominance Chapter 65
Alex walked fearlessly toward the group of gangsters, each armed with knives, machetes, katanas, and handguns—all poised to confront him."How dare you attack our men? You'll die here!" snarled a man with a tattooed face, stepping forward to challenge Alex.Without breaking stride, Alex delivered a swift slap across the man's face, sending him sprawling to the ground, unconscious.A hundred gang members tightened their grips on their weapons, eyes narrowing as they watched him.But none moved to attack. Something about him was off—different.Anyone else facing such a formidable crowd, surrounded by menacing killers wielding an arsenal of weapons, would show at least a flicker of fear.But Alex's eyes held none.He strolled forward as if he were merely walking through a quiet park.The casual ease with which he'd dispatched one of their own left them stunned.They were used to bullying the weak, flaunting their power.But this impenetrable man left them at a loss.They had never encoun

There were ten stacks of crisp $100 bills neatly arranged inside the bag—$100,000 in total.Josephine stared at the money, her eyes wide with shock."Well, that's quite a sum," Alex remarked casually. "Looks like they regretted their actions."Josephine snapped the bag shut and thrust it back toward him."We can't accept this."Alex raised an eyebrow. "And why not?""Because it's dirty money!" she exclaimed."They earned it by selling drugs, extorting innocent people, forcing others out of their homes. Who knows what other terrible things they've done? I won't have any part of it."Alex studied her resolute expression.Despite her obvious need, her principles remained unshaken. "Maybe we should ask the old lady inside. She might have some advice."Inside the modest house, Ruth, the elderly woman in the wheelchair, eyed the money spread out on the table."I'm sorry, Alex," she said softly. "We can't accept this kind of money.""Why not?" Alex frowned. "Money itself isn't evil. Politici

Brock was furious when he discovered that Josephine had the audacity to resign.Seething with anger, he burst into his modest home, the door slamming behind him like a thunderclap."Grace!" he shouted at his wife, who was quietly folding laundry in the living room. "Tomorrow, you're opening the restaurant!"Grace looked up, startled by his outburst. "What happened with Josephine?""She quit! Don't ask any more questions!" he snapped, pacing the room like a caged animal.Grace's face paled."But... I don't know how to cook.""Just do it like you always have!" Brock barked."Brock," she pleaded, her eyes welling up. "I really don't know how to run the restaurant. Can't you find someone else?""Don't argue with me!" he shouted, shoving her aside.Grace stumbled, catching herself against the wall."When I tell you to do something, you do it!"The next morning, Grace stood alone behind the counter of the bustling restaurant, her hands trembling as she struggled to keep up with orders.Broc

"You know what, you're right—I do belong here," Alex said, locking eyes with Florence. "Anything else you need?"Florence's lips twisted into a sneer. "In case that thick skull of yours hasn't figured it out, I'm insulting you, you worthless drifter."“It's a free country, ma'am. You're welcome to say whatever you like.” Alex shrugged lightly. “Doesn't mean I have to take offense.""You pitiful excuse for a man," she spat. "Do you really think ignoring me keeps your dignity intact?"“In my view, you’re poorer than I am. Why should I feel insulted by someone who’s not worth my time?”“You’re shameless,” Florence hissed. “I wish you’d just disappear!”His smile turned icy. “And I wish you a long life—to savor your bitterness even longer.”Florence’s face flushed crimson.Rising abruptly, she called out across the restaurant, “Owner! Is this how you let your staff treat paying customers? This man is insulting me!"From the kitchen, Josephine slammed down a pan and marched over, her eyes

A few days later, Alex and Sophia arrived at the grand banquet hosted by the Lancaster family.The opulent hall was abuzz with anticipation.Amelia Lancaster had organized the event to announce the acquisition of BioHealth Solutions from Roland and to unveil its rebranding under the Lancaster Group.And their partnership with Kingston would send ripples through Vancouver's business community, marking the Lancasters' bold expansion into something greater.Whispers filled the room about Jasmine Kingston's attendance."Why do we have to be here?" Sophia sighed, glancing at her father, Justin.He adjusted his tie, his expression firm. "This is our family's banquet, Sophia. We need to show face.""But they've already pushed us out," she protested softly."Regardless, we must attend," Justin insisted."Our livelihood depends on the Lancaster Group's shares. Imagine what would happen if your grandmother decided to cut us off entirely."Nearby, Florence cast a disdainful look at Alex. "You sh

"I don't know," the accountant muttered. "Give me a moment to figure this out."Peter turned to Alex, confusion and a flicker of fear in his eyes.Could Alex truly be behind this catastrophe, or was it merely a terrible coincidence?Before he could dwell on it, his phone buzzed urgently. He snatched it up."Father?""You bastard!" his father's furious voice exploded through the line."What have you done? Our family's assets are frozen, and we're under investigation! Do you realize the magnitude of this disaster? If you don't fix this immediately, we're finished!""Wait, Father! Please, tell me what's happening," Peter pleaded, panic tightening his chest."Who the hell did you offend? Alfred kingston's got our assets frozen and says he’s launching an investigation into all our businesses and accounts. Do you think we can withstand that kind of scrutiny? They’ll dig up everything, and we’ll all end up in prison!" his father’s voice boomed with desperation.A softer, trembling voice came

Sophia stood at the centre of the banquet hall, her eyes fixed on Alex, who lingered unobtrusively in the corner.Words caught in her throat as confusion and disbelief swirled within her.How had Alex managed to make Peter Smith, of all people, tremble with fear?Even the powerful Lancaster family couldn't command such a reaction from him.Watching Peter's desperate pleas, she was certain Alex must have tricked him somehow—probably with his usual swagger and exaggerated tales.He was, after all, the king of braggarts.At least she hadn't been gullible enough to fall for his antics like poor Peter had."Peter, please stand up. People are watching," Sophia urged softly, a flush of embarrassment creeping up her neck.Peter remained kneeling, his head bowed low."Miss Sophia, I beg you—promise me you'll help secure Mr. Alex's forgiveness. Only then will I rise.""Fine, fine," she relented, hoping to end the spectacle. "Just get up."Nearby, Malvin, Mike, Amelia, and other members of the L

Sophia sat across from Alex on a cozy sofa in the café, her fingers nervously entwined in her lap."Alex," she began softly. "I want to apologize for everything I've done to you."Alex looked at her with gentle curiosity. "Why?"She took a deep breath. "I've realized that so much of my pain comes from clinging to how I think things should be, instead of accepting what they are. I regret not listening to my grandfather."He offered a reassuring smile. "It's okay."Gathering her courage, she confessed, "I... I don't have our signed divorce papers.""What do you mean?"She bit her lip, hesitating before continuing."When I was planning to marry Chris, he said he'd handle the divorce papers and the marriage certificate. I thought after everything that happened, he wouldn’t send them. But I never received any confirmation."Alex remained silent."That means we're still husband and wife," Sophia whispered, her cheeks flushing.He leaned forward slightly. "And if he already sent them?"She s

The hospital reeked of antiseptic and despair. Jericho Kane shoved the double doors open with the rage of a god uninvited.He froze.There she was—Bella, his daughter.His golden girl.Mangled beyond recognition.Her once-radiant face was now a ruin of blood and shattered bone. Her arms?Torn like wings from a fallen angel.Her legs? Bent in ways only nightmares could dream.He staggered a step back, his lips trembling. Then—“Who did this?!”The roar cracked through the ward like a gunshot.Nurses flinched. A bodyguard limped forward, face pale, one eye swollen shut.“Sir… it was Alex,” he rasped.“Jasmine Kingston’s… boy toy.”Jericho’s knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists, fury dancing in his eyes.“Alex? That son of a bitch again. He has the audacity to lay a finger on my daughter?”He glared at his guards, eyes blazing. “Why didn’t you protect my daughter?!”The guard swallowed hard, bracing himself.“He’s… stronger than we expected, Sir Kane.”Jericho seized the guard by th

“Um.” Everyone froze, eyes wide, as they watched Barbie fall to the ground, blood spilling across the floor.If they hadn't seen it themselves, they wouldn't have believed it.A legendary warrior—undefeated in the arena—now dead by a single bullet.Jaws dropped. No one could’ve seen this coming.They thought Barbie’s arrival would settle things. Instead, everything flipped upside down.“You!” Henry barked. “Don’t you have any honor? How could you use a gun in a fight?”“Good question,” Alex nodded, cool and sharp.“Why would anyone try to fight someone with a gun using their bare hands? Is she stupid? Most people run from a gun, not charge at it—unless she really thought she could win.”“She can’t!” Henry screamed.“She rushed me. I figured she could take it. So, I shot!” Alex snapped back.“Alright, Barbie, I’m sorry,” he added, his voice flat.“You bastard! What’s the use of your sorry? She’s dead now!” Henry shouted.Alex’s answer was another shot—this time grazing Henry’s thigh.H

One by one, each guest stepped forward with a look of grim determination.Every time someone approached, two sharp slaps resounded—one across Bella’s cheek, the other across Henry’s—before the guest left without so much as a backward glance.It was a relentless parade of humiliation, everyone too afraid to disobey the man who commanded them.While this sick assembly line of slaps continued, a subordinate from Kingwell handed Alex a thick folder.The moment he read its contents, his expression darkened.Still, the slapping went on, as if the guests were workers on a factory line.Bella’s face swelled to twice its size, and Henry’s lips were puffed and raw.Tears streaked Bella’s cheeks as she whimpered, “I’m sorry.”Alex folded his arms, looking unimpressed.“Oh, really? Tell me, Bella, have you ever forgiven anyone who begged you for mercy?”Bella sniffled, her voice trembling, “Yes… I mean, if someone apologized—”Alex snorted. “Don’t lie to me. I’ve dug up all your dirty secrets in

Alex leaned back in his chair, casually stretching his arms as though bored by the whole ordeal.“Next,” he drawled, voice flat. He shot a cold glance across the room.“You, brown hair in the black suit. Get over here.”The man in the black suit stepped forward, trembling so hard it looked like his legs might give out.He risked a quick, apologetic glance at Bella.“I’m... I’m sorry,” he muttered. Then, in a jittery burst of courage or desperation, he raised his arm and slapped her.The crack of flesh echoed in the silence.Bella flinched, blood trickling at the corner of her mouth.Alex gave a dismissive yawn.“Move it along, people. Don’t make me do it for you.” He cocked his pistol and spun the barrel for emphasis.“From here on out, if anyone’s slow to follow orders—” he tilted his head to the side, eyes flashing menace.“—I won’t waste my time with warnings. I’ll just shoot.”A hush fell over the crowd.One by one, people inched forward, some grimacing with regret, others almost

Everyone in the ballroom knew one unspoken rule:Never cross the Kanes.So when this random nobody smacked Bella Kane across the face, it felt like time itself froze.Every head turned, jaws hanging open. The gasp was almost a collective choke.“Is he out of his damn mind?” someone muttered.“He actually hit Bella Kane… He must have a death wish.”A hush fell, thick with fear and disbelief. For as long as anyone remembered, Bella was the one who dished out the torment—never the other way around.In that moment, the unthinkable had happened.Bella swayed on her heels, hand pressed to her flaming cheek.Her eyes were wide with equal parts shock and wrath.No one, no one, had ever dared lay a finger on her.“You—” she spat, voice cracking, “you dare… you dare hit me?”Alex felt adrenaline rattle his veins. He’d lashed out before thinking; a part of him hated that he’d struck a woman.He flexed his hand, trying to ignore the sick churn in his gut.“Kill him!” Bella shrieked, voice echoing

Bella arched her perfectly manicured eyebrow and, with slow deliberation, lifted her stiletto-clad foot.She wiped the streak of blood from its heel against Sophia’s mouth.Then she spat, full of contempt, right onto the woman’s fainted body.“Get her out of my sight,” Bella snapped, coolly flicking her gaze at the two bodyguards.“She’s not fit to breathe the same air as the rest of us. Make sure you two enjoy it.”Without hesitation, the guards each grabbed one of Sophia’s arms and began dragging her across the polished marble floor.Her battered, lifeless body smeared a faint streak of blood in its wake.A small knot of onlookers gathered—some wrinkling their noses, others letting out cruel, amused chuckles.“That’s what you get for trying to swipe something from Jericho Kane’s family,” one of them sneered.A middle-aged man, wine glass in hand, watched Sophia with open scorn.“If she was that desperate for money,” he drawled, a smirk tugging at his lips, “I would’ve written her a

Charles flicked his gaze over Sophia sprawled on the marble floor.He clicked his tongue in quiet disdain.All that time and cash he’d funneled her way—her and that vulture of a mother—could go up in smoke if he didn’t salvage the situation.And he’d been so close to getting her into his bed, to boasting he’d seduced one of the top five most beautiful women in Vancouver.A real waste if it all ended here.He ran a hand through his hair, shot an irritated glance at the raging Bella, and stepped toward her.“Bella, come on,” he said in a low voice. “Don’t you think you’ve gone a little too far?”Bella’s eyes flashed with contempt.She didn’t reply. She just raised her hand and smacked Charles right across the face—loud enough to make the entire ballroom freeze.Gasps hissed through the air.Charles Kingston, the so-called Prince of Vancouver, getting slapped around in front of half the city’s elite?That was a headline all on its own.Bella didn’t give a damn.She jabbed a finger at him.

Charles hadn’t expected Bella to launch such a bold accusation in front of all these people.Moments earlier, the opulent ballroom had been alive with murmured praises for Sophia—her grace, her elegance, her success.Now it pulsed with scandal and suspicion.Sophia’s expression darkening. “How dare you do this, Miss Kane? You invited me here as your guest, and now you’re publicly accusing me of theft? If you really have evidence, show it. Otherwise, you owe me an apology.”Bella’s lips curved into a contemptuous grin.“For your information, I never invited you. You barged in like the desperate parasite you are. And evidence? Oh, sweetheart, I’ve got more than enough to bury you,” she purred, nodding toward the bodyguards.“All they have to do is look inside that tacky little purse you’re flaunting. Or would you prefer to drop the charade and confess right here, right now?”“After all, you had countless chances to sneak my bracelet back—ten million dollars’ worth, mind you—but here we

Clara’s fingers trembled as she realized she couldn’t keep up the charade any longer.She shot a desperate look at Bella Kane, who glowered down at her from the top of the marble staircase like a queen about to sentence a dead prisoner.“Miss Kane!” Clara pleaded, voice shaking.“Y-you have to believe me… I swear, it’s not what it looks like. This necklace isn’t mine. It’s Sophia’s—my niece—Charles gave it to her, and I just borrowed it for tonight. That’s all!”Bella’s gaze narrowed, eyes cold as steel.“Sophia Lancaster, you said?” she hissed through gritted teeth.“Is that the woman who waltzed in here with Charles? The one shameless enough to show off in front of me?”Clara nodded vigorously, sweat staining the collar of her dress. “Yes, that’s her. She and Charles… they came together, and I only tagged along.”“I… I confess I was envious of the necklace, so I took it for myself tonight. But this whole mess—it isn’t my doing, Miss Kane. Honest to God. Please… just spare me.”Bella
