CHAPTER 162
POISON STRIKES AGAINThe wind near the docks howled against the stacked containers, carrying the smell of seawater and rust through the night. Ross and the others stood frozen after hearing the news, but Brian had already moved. Without another word, he released the branded attacker, turned, and strode toward his car with terrifying calmness. That calmness was far more frightening than rage.Ross hurried after him. “Mr. Maxwell, what about this one?”Brian didn’t stop walking. “Keep him alive.”“Yes, sir.”“And if he dies before I return,” Brian added coldly, “bury whoever was guarding him beside him.”Ross stiffened. “Understood.”The car door slammed shut. A second later, the engine roared, and Brian sped out of the shipping district, tires screaming across the pavement. His eyes were fixed ahead, but his mind was already piecing everything together.First Samantha, Now Timothy Madison.This was not random. Someone was recreating a pattern.Someone knew about the poison cases.Someo

THE DOCKS OF BLOODBrian’s car cut through the sleeping city like a blade in the dark, the engine humming steadily as streetlights flashed across the windshield. His face was calm, but his eyes carried a coldness that made it clear tonight would not end quietly. The events at the house had already crossed a line. Using Samantha as bait was something he would never tolerate. Whoever was behind it had made a serious mistake.The road gradually emptied as he approached the old shipping district near the docks. Rusted warehouses stood like giant shadows in the distance, abandoned cranes looming over the water like skeletons of another era. The smell of salt, oil, and old metal filled the air. It was the kind of place where screams disappeared into the wind.Several black vehicles were already parked outside a large warehouse when Brian arrived.The moment he stepped out, Ross hurried over. He was dressed in dark clothes, his expression respectful but tense. “Mr. Maxwell.”Brian gave a sli

FIRE MEETS OILThe front door slammed against the wall as Brenda Madison stormed into the house like a raging hurricane, followed closely by Gary and Thomas. Their faces were filled with alarm, anger, and the kind of self-righteous fury they always carried whenever Brian was involved. Two more relatives trailed behind them, whispering anxiously, clearly eager to witness whatever drama had unfolded.“Samantha!” Brenda shouted again as she marched into the living room. “Where are you? Are you hurt?”Thomas looked around wildly, then his eyes landed on Brian standing near the window. The moment he saw him, his expression turned ugly. “So you’re standing here doing nothing while my sister gets attacked?”Brian glanced at him once and said nothing.That indifference only made Thomas angrier. He strode forward aggressively, pointing a finger directly at Brian’s face. “I’m talking to you! Did this happen because of you? Tell me the truth!”Gary quickly walked in as well, trying to maintain s

CRACKS IN THE HEART The bedroom remained silent long after the two intruders fled. The only sound that could be heard was Samantha’s uneven breathing and the faint noise of the wind outside brushing against the windows. No one moved for several seconds. Laura stood by the door, tense and uncertain, while Brian remained where he was, his posture calm as though nothing significant had happened. But the atmosphere in the room had changed completely. It was no longer about the attack. It was about the truth that had just been exposed. Samantha stared at Brian as if she were looking at a stranger. Her mind was still struggling to process everything she had seen. The speed, the strength, the coldness in his eyes, the way those men had been completely helpless before him. This was not the Brian she thought she knew. This was not the weak, overlooked husband who had spent years enduring humiliation in silence. This man was someone else entirely. Her lips parted slightly, but no words c
CHAPTER 158
Brian’s car screeched to a halt in front of the house, the sharp sound of the tires cutting through the quiet night as the engine died down. He didn’t waste a single second. The moment the car stopped, he pushed the door open and stepped out, his expression completely different from before. The calm and indifferent look he usually carried had vanished, replaced by something far colder, something that made the air around him feel heavy. The entire house was dark, not a single light on, and that alone was enough to tell him that something was very wrong.He walked toward the door with steady steps, but there was a terrifying pressure surrounding him, as if something was about to explode at any moment. When he reached the entrance, he pushed the door open without hesitation and stepped inside. The silence that greeted him wasn’t normal. It wasn’t peaceful it was tense, suffocating, like something dangerous was lurking within the shadows.“Brian…?” Laura’s voice came from the living room,
