Owen's eyes widened as he scrolled through his phone and stumbled upon the news of Adam's sudden demise. He felt a jolt of astonishment, his mind reeling with the unexpected turn of events.

    "I should be the one saying that," Grey sneered, laughing evilly. Marcus stared at him, his eyes blazing with fury, as he moved forward."You dare think of hurting my parents?"
