Chapter One Hundred and Forty Six

The room grew quiet as the host returned to the stage, his booming voice commanding everyone’s attention.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, “the auction for our next item is about to commence. This is not just a painting; it’s a masterpiece embedded with rare elements that make it a one-of-a-kind treasure. We’ll start the bidding at one million dollars.”

Excited murmurs rippled through the room as paddles shot up.

“One million,” a voice called from the middle of the room.

“Two million,” came another from the side.

The bids climbed steadily.

“Three million.”

“Five million.”

Henry remained seated at the back, calm and composed, his face betraying no emotion. Stella, sitting beside Stefan, kept glancing at him, her irritation growing with each passing second.

“You know, you could at least pretend to belong here,” Stella hissed. “Why did you even come? To sit there and look stupid?”

Stefan snickered, leaning toward Henry with mock sympathy. “Maybe he’s sa

    Chapter One Hundred and Forty SevenThe applause had barely subsided when Stefan shot up from his chair, his face red with fury. He pointed a trembling finger at Henry, his voice loud enough to echo across the grand hall.“This is a scam!” Stefan bellowed. “This man can’t afford sixty million dollars! He’s a nobody—a useless son-in-law who probably doesn’t have ten dollars in his pocket!”The crowd gasped, the murmurs growing louder as heads turned toward Henry. He stood calmly by the payment desk, his back straight and expression neutral, as though Stefan’s words were beneath him.“Stefan, stop,” Henry said in a low, firm tone, but the younger man was too far gone.“Don’t tell me to stop!” Stefan shouted, striding toward Henry. “You’ve embarrassed me in front of everyone! Do you think you can waltz in here, bid an insane amount of money, and not face the consequences?”Stella, eager to fuel the chaos, rushed to Stefan’s side, her face twisted in mock outrage. “He’s right!” she yelled

Stefan followed close behind, his expression filled with disdain.“Where did you get the money, Henry?” Stella demanded, crossing her arms. “We both know you don’t have that kind of cash. You only get what, five dollars a week? Jasmine gives you just enough to buy food and nothing more.”The crowd murmured, shocked by Stella’s bluntness. Henry stopped in his tracks and turned slowly, his face calm but his eyes cold.“I’m not obligated to explain myself to you,” he said firmly, his tone steady.But Stefan smirked and stepped forward. “Oh, come on, Henry. Don’t be shy. We’re all curious now. How does a broke son-in-law, who can’t even afford a decent meal, suddenly bid sixty million dollars? Tell us. Did you sell your kidney?”Stella laughed, clearly enjoying the attention. “Or

She clutched her stomach, tears streaming from her eyes, but her uncontrollable laughter caused a sudden, audible rip in her gown.The hall went silent, and Stella froze. Slowly, she looked down and saw that her dress had split along the side, exposing her belly and a patch of unflattering, bulging skin. Gasps and snickers erupted around her.Mortified, Stella tried to cover herself with her hands, but it was no use. Her face turned beet red, and she stammered, “I… I need to excuse myself.”She rushed toward the nearest exit, her heels clattering loudly on the marble floor. Stefan, instead of following her, turned away the moment she left the room. He’d had enough of Stella for the night.His eyes landed on the tall, elegant model he’d been eyeing all evening. She was standing by the champagne bar, her long legs crossed gracefu

    Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Stefan stood frozen for a moment, humiliated by Henry's words. Just as he was about to slink away, Isabella returned, her eyes glittering with something darker than the disapproval she'd shown earlier. "Ignore him," she purred, stepping closer to Stefan. Her fingers traced the lapel of his jacket before moving down to rest on his chest. “Why let someone like that ruin your night?”Stefan blinked in surprise, his confidence returning as Isabella’s soft touch and sultry tone worked their magic. “You think so?” he asked, a sly smile creeping onto his face.Isabella leaned in, her lips grazing his ear. “Of course,” she whispered. “I’ve heard about you, Stefan Laurent. Rich, charming, and powerful. Why don’t we forget about your insufferable girlfriend and spend some time where she can’t find us?”She planted a deep, passionate kiss on his lips, her hands sliding up to massage his chest. Stefan let out a low chuckle, his earlier embarrassment fading entirely

Stefan’s confidence had returned fully, his earlier humiliation replaced with smug satisfaction.“So, where are we going?” Isabella asked, her voice low and enticing.“I know a hotel not too far from here,” Stefan replied with a grin. “It’s discreet, luxurious, and perfect for… spending time.”As they moved toward the exit, Stefan’s phone buzzed in his pocket. He ignored it, but it buzzed again and again. Finally, Isabella tugged at his arm.“Aren’t you going to check that?” she asked.Stefan sighed, pulling out his phone. His face paled when he saw the screen. It was Stella, calling repeatedly. He quickly silenced the phone and shoved it back into his pocket.“Trouble?” Isabella asked with a raised brow.“Nothing I can’t handle,” Stefan said, brushing it off. “Let’s go.”But before they could take ano

    Chapter One Hundred and Fifty TwoThe grand hall buzzed with energy as the auction resumed. Billionaires in tailored suits sipped on expensive champagne, their conversations punctuated by laughter and subtle power plays. But in one corner of the room, Henry stood silently, his presence understated yet commanding. His face was calm, but his eyes betrayed an unshakable resolve.Across the room, Stella returned with Stefan, who was nursing the red mark on his cheek. His earlier bravado was gone, replaced by a simmering frustration that boiled beneath the surface. Stella’s icy silence was deafening, but Stefan’s arrogance wouldn’t allow him to back down completely.“Don’t think this is over, Henry,” Stefan muttered under his breath as they passed by him. “You’ve been playing games all night, and I’m going to find out who you really are.”Henry didn’t respond, but his eyes flickered toward Stefan briefly. His indifference was more cutting than any retort, and Stefan’s face flushed with ang

Whispers rippled through the room, and the once-dismissive gazes of the elites now lingered on Henry with a mix of curiosity and newfound respect.Stefan, his cheek still stinging from Henry’s slap, staggered back. His face burned red with embarrassment, but his arrogance refused to die. He pointed a trembling finger at Henry.“You think you’ve won?” Stefan spat, his voice shaking. “You’re still just a pathetic son-in-law. Owning some shares doesn’t make you powerful. You’ll never be anything more than a joke.”Henry’s gaze didn’t waver. His calm demeanor made Stefan’s words feel hollow. He took a step closer, his voice measured but cutting. “The only joke here, Stefan, is you. You’re a man so consumed by your ego that you can’t see how irrelevant you’ve made yourself.”Stefan clenched his fists, his voice rising

Stella stood frozen in place, her mind racing as she tried to piece together the shocking events of the evening.“How… how did this happen?” Stefan muttered under his breath. “How is he more powerful than me?”Stella turned to him sharply, her voice dripping with bitterness. “You’re asking me? You’re the one who made a fool of yourself in front of everyone. And now my sister and her husband—her husband—own more of your company than you do!”Stefan glared at her, his confidence trying to claw its way back. “This isn’t over. I’ll find out what he’s hiding. Nobody just walks in and takes over my life.”Stella crossed her arms. “You’d better do something, Stefan. Because right now, you’re looking like a pathetic fool.”Stefan’s jaw tightened, but before he could respond, a man in a sharp suit approached the

His arms wrapped around her, keeping her safe and warm.“It feels good to be here,” Jasmine said softly. Her voice was calm, but there was happiness in it.Henry kissed her head gently. “It does. You make everything feel right.”Jasmine smiled. She turned to face him, her eyes sparkling like the stars. “Do you remember how hard everything used to be?”Henry nodded. “I do. But I also remember how strong we were. We fought through it all.”Jasmine placed her hand on his cheek. “We didn’t just fight. We won, Henry. Together.”Henry’s heart felt full.

Outside, the hum of the city carried on, but inside, it felt as though time itself had slowed.Jasmine nestled closer into Henry’s chest, her fingers tracing small patterns across his skin. “It feels strange,” she murmured softly, her voice thick with contentment.“What does?” Henry asked, tilting his head to look down at her, his hand running gently up and down her back.“To finally have peace,” she said, her eyes distant for a moment. “No one chasing us. No one plotting. Just… us.”Henry’s hand stilled for a moment, his jaw tightening as he considered her words. “It won’t last forever,” he said quietly, his voice edged with the wisdom of experience. “People like Marcus—there’s always another waiting in the shadows.

    The rain had softened to a gentle drizzle, the rhythmic tapping against the windows a soothing melody in the dimly lit bedroom. Outside, the city slept under a soft haze, the glow of streetlights blending into the mist. But in the sanctuary of their room, the world felt quiet, peaceful—like it belonged only to them.Henry held Jasmine close, their bodies entwined beneath the silk sheets, the lingering warmth of their closeness still humming between them. His arm rested protectively around her waist, his thumb tracing lazy circles along her bare skin, savoring every heartbeat, every breath they shared. Her head lay tucked under his chin, her soft hair brushing against his chest as she nuzzled closer, as though seeking his warmth even in her sleep.But Henry was awake. Completely. Fully.Not from tension this time. Not from the ghosts that used to haunt his every silent moment. This time, it was something different—peace.He shifted slightly, careful not to disturb her, and pressed a ge

    The penthouse was quiet, the city lights casting soft patterns across the floor-to-ceiling windows as the world outside slowed to a whisper. Rain gently tapped against the glass, a soft rhythm like a heartbeat echoing through the room. The city below seemed far away, insignificant compared to the warmth and closeness shared in this space.Henry sat in the oversized leather chair, his tie loosened, his gaze distant as he stared out at the skyline he had conquered. But despite his victories, the weight of the battles lingered—faint but present in his mind. Jasmine entered quietly, her bare feet barely making a sound against the cool marble floor. She wore a satin robe, the fabric clinging to her curves, flowing gently as she moved closer. Her presence alone was enough to soothe the storm inside him. She always had that effect—like an anchor grounding him when the weight of his empire threatened to consume him.“Henry,” she whispered, resting her hand gently on his shoulder, her fingers

From the penthouse, Henry stood on the expansive balcony, the cool breeze brushing against his face as he gazed out over his empire. The night was calm, but deep down, he knew calm was often the prelude to storms.Inside, Jasmine watched him through the floor-to-ceiling glass. Their son slept peacefully in his crib, the soft rise and fall of his tiny chest a reminder of why they had fought so hard. She could see the tension lingering in Henry’s posture, the battle never quite leaving his soul.She stepped outside, the silk fabric of her nightgown fluttering in the wind as she approached him. Her delicate hand brushed his shoulder, grounding him.“Henry,” she whispered. “You can rest now. It’s over.”Henry exhaled, his hand wrapping around hers as he stared out at the glittering city. “It feels too quiet, Jasmine. Almost like…” He trailed off, unable to voice the thought g

It wasn’t just a skyscraper; it was a fortress built on the ashes of betrayal and destruction.And at the top, Henry Knights stood tall, his piercing gaze scanning the city that once doubted him. His name was no longer whispered with mockery—it echoed with respect, power, and undeniable victory.He adjusted his cufflinks, the platinum ring on his finger catching the light, its once-blazing glow now a steady pulse. It felt different—at peace. Not dormant, but calm, like a lion that had proven its strength and no longer needed to roar.Beside him, Jasmine stood radiant in a flowing emerald gown, their young son sleeping peacefully in her arms.

    The forest clearing seemed to crackle with tension as Henry faced Marcus and his armed entourage. The ring on his finger pulsed with a fierce light, casting eerie shadows that danced over the trees. Every nerve in Henry’s body was electrified, his newfound power swirling within him like a storm waiting to be unleashed. This wasn’t just about survival anymore—this was about vengeance, reclaiming control, and making Marcus pay for everything he’d done.“Stand down, Marcus,” Henry growled, his voice resonating with a depth that wasn’t entirely human. The light from the ring spread faintly up his arm, sending tendrils of energy into the air.Marcus, flanked by his soldiers, seemed unfazed. If anything, his smirk deepened, his eyes gleaming with amusement. “You think that little trinket makes you untouchable?” he mocked, gesturing to the glowing ring. “Power like that comes with strings, Henry. And you’re not the one holding them.”Henry took a step forward, his jaw clenched. “You made a m
