"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

Jasmine leaned back in her chair, closing her eyes as a wave of dizziness washed over her.The room felt unusually warm, and her heart raced uncomfortably.Had she been pushing herself too hard?A faint smile touched her lips as she thought of Alex.Perhaps this was the perfect excuse to reach out to him.She picked up her phone and dialed his number."Alex, I need your help," she said softly."Jasmine? What's wrong?" Alex's voice came through.He was aboard a helicopter, en route back to Vancouver from the mining town, as he still had to check on the old man's condition at Kingswell's main facility."I suddenly feel unwell," she admitted."My head is spinning, and my body feels... off. It's like I'm overheating, and my breathing is heavy."Alex frowned, his mind racing. "Did this happen suddenly? Did you eat or drink anything unusual?"She glanced at the half-empty coffee cup on her desk."I just had some coffee, but it tasted different—not like usual.""Don't drink any more of it,"

Alex was aboard the helicopter when he spotted Jasmine dangling precariously from the edge of a thirty-story skyscraper."Get us there now!" he shouted to the pilot, his voice sharp over the thrum of the rotor blades.As the helicopter surged toward the building, Alex moved to the open doorway, preparing to reach her.But then his heart lurched—Jasmine released her grip and leaped into the void.His eyes widened, but only for a split second.Instinct took over.With a powerful push, he launched himself out of the helicopter, diving headfirst through the night sky after her.The sudden shift rocked the aircraft, causing it to sway as Alex plummeted downward.The cold wind whipped against his face, stinging his skin as city lights blurred around him.Jasmine fell through the air, the world a swirl of stars and skyscrapers.Regret and confusion stormed within her.Had she made the right choice?Should she have fought back against Chris?Let him do his worst and face the consequences late
The Almighty Dominance Chapter 83
As Jasmine leaned in to kiss Alex, the sudden roar of helicopter blades filled the air.Powerful gusts whipped her hair around her face, forcing her to shield her eyes.The helicopter descended with expert precision, hovering just a few meters above the ground, its downdraft sending debris swirling across the street.Reacting swiftly, Alex scooped Jasmine into his arms and sprinted toward the aircraft.With a fluid leap, he boarded the helicopter, holding her securely against him."Continue to the destination!" Alex shouted over the deafening noise."Understood, sir!" the pilot responded, steadying the aircraft as it began to ascend.The forceful winds sent nearby pedestrians scrambling, and Kingston's guards could only watch helplessly as the helicopter rose swiftly out of reach.Inside, Alex gently laid Jasmine on a seat.Her breaths came in shallow gasps, her complexion radiating desire.Without hesitation, he placed his hands on her shoulders, channeling a calming warmth into her.

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
