"Sophia! What on earth are you doing here?” Olivia Lancaster burst into the café.“Everyone’s been looking for you!"Before Sophia could respond, Olivia grabbed her arm with an impatient grip."Grandmother wants to see you. Now," she demanded, her tone dripping with irritation.Taken aback by her cousin’s abruptness, Sophia pulled her arm free. "Olivia, what’s going on? Why are you acting like this?"Olivia scoffed, crossing her arms. "Don’t play innocent. You disappear when the family needs you most? Typical.""Disappear?" Sophia echoed. "I wasn’t aware anyone needed me.""Maybe if you paid attention to something other than yourself, you’d know," Olivia snapped.Alex glanced between them. "Perhaps you should explain what’s happening."Olivia shot him a withering look. "You loser, this is a family matter. Stay out of it."Sophia squared her shoulders. "Alex is my husband. Anything involving me involves him.""Fine," Olivia huffed. "Just hurry up. You’re holding everyone else back."Re

"Quickly, Sophia! Kelly Kingston only gave us ten minutes." Amelia grabbed Sophia's hand and hurried her toward the hall.Earlier, Amelia had persuaded one of the board executives to delay Kelly's departure, convincing her to wait just a few more minutes.Now, as they entered the hall, Kelly was already preparing to leave."Miss Kingston!" Sophia called out urgently.“My grandmother wanted me to inform you that I’ve been appointed CEO of Lancaster Group. I’ll be handling the partnership with Kingston Group directly. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance.”Kelly turned, "Well, if you're personally managing Lancaster Group as CEO, then there's no issue. But let me be clear—if anyone else steps in, the deal is off.”“This partnership isn't a game where you can place just anyone in charge without competence." Her gaze shifted sharply toward Amelia and the Lancaster team, a clear warning evident."Thank you so much, Miss Kingston," Sophia said sincerely.It almost felt as though

"Lyra, where have you been? You left the table ages ago."Oscar's voice cut through the soft chatter of the banquet hall as he approached, his eyes darting suspiciously between her and Alex.He noticed how closely she stood to Alex, a subtle lean that made Oscar's jaw tighten.Lyra turned to face him, her expression shifting from sultry to cool indifference. "Must I report my every move to you, Oscar?"He bristled."Well, we came here together, didn’t we?" His tone was laced with jealousy.Oscar had pursued Lyra for years, longing to win over one of Vancouver’s most renowned beauties.Their relationship had seemed promising, especially after he’d invested in her business.Alex observed the exchange, noting the swift transformation in Lyra's demeanor—from a seductive vixen to a poised, unyielding queen—as she confronted Oscar.Now he clearly understood why people said a man wants a lady in the streets and a freak in the sheets."That doesn't give you the right to question me," Lyra rep

"It's working," Lyra whispered, her voice barely audible.Her father, Joe Thompson, with some effort, managed to sit up. He swung his legs over the side of the bed."It's like a miracle," he murmured.Lyra captured each precious moment on video, her mind racing with possibilities.This was more than she had ever dared to hope for.For the wealthy, nothing was more priceless than their health."Father, I'll go call Mom," Lyra said, standing up.She quietly left the room, her heart pounding with excitement.Meanwhile, Joe glanced at the smartphone beside his bed.After being confined for so long, his mind was churning with thoughts. Taking a deep breath, he dialed a number he hadn't called in years."Alfred Kingston?" he said when the line connected."Joe Thompson?" Alfred's voice held a note of shock.Joe had once been his fiercest competitor in Vancouver. "I heard you were bedridden after a stroke.""My daughter obtained a medicine from a legendary doctor known as 'God's Hand.' I'm he

Josephine stood over the sizzling stovetop in the restaurant's kitchen, the familiar aroma of sautéed vegetables and spices filling the air.With the old staff rehired, she no longer had to shoulder every responsibility alone.Four dedicated workers bustled around her, two of whom were seasoned cooks from the previous ownership.In this small, struggling mining town, employment was a rare blessing, and the camaraderie in the kitchen warmed her heart."Hey, Jo, where did that handsome helper disappear to? I haven’t seen him these past few days," Shirley asked, a playful glint in her eyes as she wiped down the counter."How should I know?" she replied with a casual shrug. "His ex-wife showed up, and he left with her.""Did he say if he's coming back?" Shirley pressed."Not a word," Josephine said, a hint of irritation creeping into her voice. "Honestly, I'm considering letting him go.""Oh, don't be hasty!" Shirley protested. "It's not every day we get someone that easy on the eyes arou

Alex stood before the weathered facade of the old eight-story apartment building, clutching the worn postcard Ruth Everheart had given him—the only clue to his forgotten past.The faded letters read, "813."Climbing the creaking stairs to the eighth floor, he found the door marked with the same number. He knocked firmly but received no response.Just then, the door of the neighboring unit, 812, creaked open. An elderly man peered out, his eyes clouded with age."No one's lived there in years," he rasped. "Place has been empty as long as I can remember.""Thank you," Alex replied, offering a polite nod.As the old man shuffled away, Alex turned back to the door. Taking a deep breath, he carefully picked the lock and slipped inside.Dust motes danced in the slivers of sunlight piercing through the drawn curtains. The air was thick, heavy with neglect.Alex moved cautiously through the dimly lit rooms, his footsteps echoing softly on the worn wooden floors.In the bedroom, he stopped sho

Josephine met the officer's gaze, anger simmering beneath her steady demeanor."I know all of you are taking bribes from Carlo, silencing anyone who dares speak out against his mine poisoning our town and making people sick.""Watch your mouth, lady," the officer sneered. "Stick to the charges and stop throwing around baseless accusations."It was no secret that every cop in this mining town was on Carlo's payroll, turning a blind eye for a fat envelope and a promise of more.She squared her shoulders, refusing to back down. "I'd rather face false charges than be coerced into anything by you or Carlo."The officer's expression darkened.Stepping forward, he grabbed a fistful of her hair, yanking her head back sharply. "You'd better take the offer while I'm being nice," he hissed, his grip tightening painfully.Instead of cowering, Josephine locked eyes with him and spat in his face. "You're the real criminal here."Rage twisted his features as he wiped the spit from his cheek.He rais

When Alex returned Josephine to the orphanage, Ruth and the children were anxiously gathered near the doorway, their faces lighting up at the sight of her.As she stepped inside, the younger kids rushed forward, wrapping their small arms around her waist."Big sister Jo, we were so worried!" one of them exclaimed, tears glistening in her eyes."Did they hurt you?" another asked, his voice trembling.Josephine knelt down, enveloping them in a warm embrace. "I'm okay, really," she assured them softly. "Everything's alright now."Rudyard stood a little apart from the group, his eyes meeting Alex's."Thank you for bringing her back.”Alex smiled gently, placing a reassuring hand on the boy's shoulder."You did the right thing by calling me. You helped save her."The boy's face brightened with a mix of pride and relief.As the children led Josephine inside, chattering excitedly, she turned back to glance at Alex lingering by the doorway."Aren't you coming in?" she asked, a hint of somethi

“Who the hell is this freak,” one of the assassins hissed, voice trembling as he watched the bodies of his fellow Vermont Elite sprawled across the cold pavement.Fear gnawed at his gut, and the moment Alex gave him permission to scram, he took off running.They’d trained for decades to be unstoppable, to rule Vermont by Jericho Kane’s side—but all of that meant nothing in the face of this unstoppable force.He sprinted through the night, lungs burning, and jabbed the call button on his smartwatch.“Sire,” he panted, voice trembling. “We’re facing a monster… and he’s demanding a meeting with Master Kane.”Moments later, Jericho slammed his fist onto a heavy oak table.The table burst into splinters under his blow.“Who does that arrogant bastard think he is? Some boytoy of Hilton wants to summon me? Me? The Governor of Vermont!”“I’ll damn well show him who he’s dealing with!”Vetala hovered nearby like a ghostly shadow.“Sir, I’ve watched his moves. I’m convinced he’s not just some r

They exchanged wary glances, each person unsure how to react.Minutes before Alex arrived, Jack had yelled loudly enough for half the hospital to hear him:“I don’t care if it was demons or damn gods who hurt Sophia—I’ll kill them all. I’ll burn the whole world down if I have to!”The others chimed in, bravado swelling like a rising tide. “Damn straight! I’ll give up my life if that’s what it takes.”But the moment they learned Jericho Kane’s daughter was behind the attack, every ounce of their fury vanished like smoke in the wind.Gods and demons? Sure, they were easy to hate—unseen, distant, nothing more than ideas.But Jericho Kane was flesh and blood, a man who could wipe out families on a whim.Suddenly, no one even dared to whisper a word of protest.Florence and the others grew restless, every one of them understand: messing with the Kane family was suicide.Even if they were spit on, kicked around like stray dogs, they had no power to fight back.“You won’t have to worry,” Ale

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.
