342 The Chosen One
The Salvatore Estate was perched on a hill that overlooked the sprawling Sapphire City in the valley below. It wasn't just a grand house; it was a self-contained world unto itself.A dozen magnificent mansions were scattered across the grounds, connected by stone paths lined with ancient trees that had stood for generations.Vast farming lands stretched out in neat patches, growing everything from vegetables to grains that swayed gently in the breeze. Lush groves of fruit trees provided shade and fresh produce year-round.Rows of solar panels glinted on rooftops and open fields, harnessing the sun's power with quiet efficiency. A large water dam at the edge of the property ensured a steady supply for irrigation and drinking, making the entire place function like its own small city, independent and self-sufficient.As Annika's vehicle cruised up the long, tree-lined driveway and came to a smooth stop before the main hall, Tyler stepped out into the fresh air.An army of butlers in cris
341 Without Consent
Annika pursed her lips tightly. Even though this guy was powerful and handsome in a rough, dangerous way, he was clearly a pervert who took advantage of situations.But then, he had saved her from the Hux gang when no one else could have. Who knew what would have happened if he hadn't been there? The memory of being pinned to the ground, the rough hands on her arms, the threats—it sent a fresh shiver through her.Moreover, all Tyler was asking for was a kiss on the cheek. It was harmless, right? Just a quick press of lips to skin, and it would be over. She could do that much.Annika exhaled slowly, trying to steady herself. "Fine."She inched forward, trying to find her balance on legs that felt increasingly unsteady.The ground seemed to tilt beneath her feet. She lost her balance for a second, and Tyler caught her by the arm with an easy, firm grip, stabilizing her before she could fall."Easy there, girl," he said with a thin smile.Annika was feeling even more faint. Perhaps she w
340 Payment for Service
Annika stood frozen for several long seconds, her mind struggling to piece together the impossible scene that had just unfolded before her eyes. The entire Hux gang—dozens of armed, bloodthirsty men who had moments ago been charging toward them with weapons drawn and murder in their eyes—had been swept away in an instant by a massive wave of water that Tyler had somehow summoned from a simple juice box.The road ahead was now a chaotic mess of wet asphalt glistening under the fading afternoon sun, scattered debris, and the distant wreckage of cars and bodies carried far down the stretch like discarded toys in a flood.Annika's legs felt weak beneath her, as if the ground itself had become unsteady. She stumbled back a step, then another, until her hand found the familiar metal of the Bugatti's door. She leaned against it for support, her fingers gripping the handle tightly as if it were the only solid thing left in a world that had suddenly tilted off its axis.The reality of what she
339 Juice Box
The goons, their hands on Annika, trembled visibly. They exchanged quick, uncertain glances, their eyes darting from one another to the crumpled heap that had once been Boris.The enforcer lay twisted on the curb, his arms bent at impossible angles, low groans escaping his lips. Then their gazes shifted to the young man standing in the middle of the road. Tyler Grant stood there like the world itself had decided to listen to him.One by one, their grips loosened. Annika felt the pressure on her shoulders ease. She didn't wait. She twisted free, scrambled to her feet, and dashed behind Tyler."Are you a martial arts master or something?" she demanded, her voice coming out sharp. There was a thread of reluctant awe underneath the accusation. "You should have told me before I went out there confronting them like some reckless idiot."Tyler didn't turn to face her. His eyes stayed on the regrouping gang ahead. "You should have told me your jilted lover sends entire gangs after you," he re
338 The Giant
Boris lumbered forward like he owned the road and everything on it. He rolled his thick shoulders, causing the joints to pop loudly. His arms flexed, the veins standing out like ropes. He brought his fists together in front of his chest and ground them against each other.A low, rumbling growl rolled out of his throat as he stared at the young man waiting in the middle of the asphalt. "Oh, I'm going to enjoy this kill!"In Boris's head, the fight was already over. This kid was just another loud-mouthed brat who thought walking up and talking big made him dangerous. He had put down bigger men for less. Then they could grab the Salvatore girl and be on their way.Tyler didn't move. His hands hung loose at his sides. His shoulders stayed relaxed. He watched the big man approach with the same flat expression he might have worn while watching rain hit a window.On the inside, Tyler could even have chuckled. He had faced real monsters inside the hellish Montserrat prison. Men who laughed wh
337 The Ambush
Annika burst out of the car and faced the Cooper goons head-on. She planted her feet on the asphalt and glared at the wall of dark suits blocking the road."What is the meaning of this? What does your boss want now?"The leader among them, Ben Huxley, stepped forward with a grin that stretched ear to ear.Ben led the Huxley gang in Sapphire City as a proxy for the influential Cooper family. He carried himself like a man who enjoyed every inch of his power. His men lingered behind him, their eyes roaming over Annika with open hunger.Huxley kept his tone respectful on the surface, but the lewd stares from his crew made the air feel thick and ugly. "Madam Annika, you are a sight for sore eyes. The boss wants to have a date with you. Come with us."Annika grimaced, her stomach twisting at the suggestion. She had dealt with the Cooper scion's advances before and wanted no part of them. "I already told Rodney I won't date him. Why doesn't he get it inside his thick head?"Huxley chuckled,
