CHAPTER 159
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

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,

THE NET TIGHTENSBrian drove through the quiet streets of San Clemente, the dim glow of the streetlights reflecting faintly on the windshield. His expression remained calm, but his eyes were cold and focused as his mind replayed everything that had happened that day. From the incident at the mall to Ross’s report, and now Samantha’s sudden change in behavior, everything felt connected. It wasn’t random. Someone was pulling strings behind the scenes, pushing things forward bit by bit.“It’s too coordinated to be a coincidence,” he muttered under his breath as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel.Whoever it was had started moving faster than he expected, which meant only one thing: they were getting impatient.Brian slowly turned the steering wheel and drove toward a quieter part of the city. The buildings became sparse, the lights fewer, and the roads emptier. Eventually, he pulled into an abandoned industrial area. The surroundings were silent, with only the distant hum of the

THE FIRST CRACKThe night grew quieter, but inside the house, the tension hadn’t faded. It only deepened.Upstairs, Samantha remained by the door for a long time, her back pressed against it as if she needed its support to stay standing. Her breathing was uneven, her chest rising and falling rapidly.She didn’t move.Didn’t wipe her tears.Didn’t even try to calm down.Because no matter how hard she tried, her thoughts kept returning to one thing.Brian.“…Who are you?” she whispered again, her voice breaking.Her mind replayed everything that had happened over the past few weeks.The sudden changes.The strange confidence.The way people who used to look down on him now avoided him… or feared him.Even Ross.She clearly remembered the way Ross looked at him earlier. That wasn’t respect. That was fear.Real fear.Samantha slowly clenched her fists.“That’s not normal…” she muttered.Her heart tightened painfully.For five years, she had believed she understood the man she married. Eve
CHAPTER 155
The Question She Couldn’t IgnoreThe atmosphere in the living room changed the moment Samantha asked that question. It was subtle at first, but the tension quickly became suffocating. Samantha’s eyes moved slowly between Brian and Laura, carefully observing every little detail. Laura looked unusually lively, almost too lively, while Brian stood there as calm as ever. That contrast alone made her uncomfortable.“What did you two do today?” she asked again, her tone sharper than before.Laura paused for a brief second, but that tiny hesitation didn’t escape Samantha’s eyes. She quickly forced a smile and brushed it off. “Uh… we just went shopping. Nothing special.”Samantha didn’t respond. Her gaze shifted to Brian instead.“And you?” she asked.“Same thing,” Brian replied calmly, without hesitation.Silence followed.Samantha’s fingers tightened slightly around the remote in her hand. Something didn’t feel right. She couldn’t explain it, but deep down, she knew something had happened.

JELOUSYRoss shoved him aside. “You want me to give you another chance? “If I keep providing protection for you and your store, how am I going to explain that to Mr. Maxwell when he finds out? it's best for you to just shut the whole store down at this point, otherwise, next time He comes here, he's going to be offended that you're still here, and then you don't want to offend Mr. Maxwell”. He said to the manager. “I'd laugh if anyone else said that. But if it's what Ross thinks is best that would only mean I'm done for it wasn't easy to get to this point. I thought with Ross providing protection, I could do whatever I wanted. I never thought I would offend someone that even Ross is afraid of”. Ross just looked down at him, “Let me give you one last piece of advice”. He said, “try to be a good person from now on if you know what is good for you”After leaving them all, Laura was in no mood to continue their day out, so she and Brian got in the car to head home.Laura was clearly p
