Eric looked even more terrified now. His mind raced back to that morning. At that moment, he felt it was a good idea and had bragged about it to his father, confident that the demolition would finally get rid of the lingering connection between the Carters and Chris’s family. But now, as he looked at the rage simmering in Chris’s eyes, he realized they might have pushed things too far

In Fact,he was still a bit traumatized by the beating he got from Chris at the warehouse the previous day.

Even Benjamin furrowed his brow, clearly puzzled by Chris’s words.

But standing at the back, Brian’s nervousness grew more pronounced. Sweat beaded at his temples as he shifted uncomfortably. He knew exactly what Chris was talking about and he shamelessly tried to avoid the gazes of others.

Chris’s eyes swept over the Carters, watching their confusion and slowly dawning realization. He caught the flicker of guilt and fear in Brian’s eyes and knew he had struck a nerve.

Today, I came here to settle all the scores with the Carters and I won't leave until I see that happens.” “You….How dare you lowly punk?

    “Is that it?....are you telling me that was the reason why you dared to lay your filthy hands on my only son? So what if Eric stole from a cross corporation; we all know that it belongs to the Carter family and if it hadn't been for you and that Eva it would still belong to us.” Brian shamelessly remarked, unwavering against the claims that Chris just made. “Eric was just taking back what was rightfully his so you shouldn't have touched him for that very reason.” In order to justify his claims he continued to bring up more bizarre arguments. Feeling irritated……, In a flash, Ethan frowned and without waiting for Chris' order he dashed forward towards Brian and swung his feet towards Brian’s chest. Brian flew several feets backwards and landed heavily on the ground. Everyone was baffled and were in a state of shock for several minutes before they could react to what just occurred.

    Benjamin’s mouth snapped shut, and for the first time, real fear coursed through his veins. He had never been spoken to in such a way before, not even by the other Carters. His status within the family had always afforded him a level of respect and deference that bordered on reverence. But Ethan, standing there with murder in his eyes, didn’t care about Benjamin’s status. And if the ruthless way he had thrown Eric’s broken body onto the ground was any indication, Ethan would have no qualms about making good on his threat. Benjamin’s lips trembled, but he stayed silent, his mind racing to find a way out of the nightmare unfolding around him. With the tension mounting, Chris took a step forward, his gaze locking onto Benjamin. “I can't believe you are being this dramatic when I haven't even started yet.” His words sent the tremors of fear down the Carter's spine. “You want an explanation….?” Chris asked, his voice calm but carrying an underlying threat. “I’ll give you one.

    Ethan, who had been waiting by the car, caught sight of her vehicle disappearing into the distance. “Let's head to Cross Corporation.” Chris said As soon as he stepped into the car. Ethan turned to him. "Sir, I just saw the madam's car." Chris’s gaze snapped toward him. "Where?" "She just drove past the hotel. She saw you with Emma." Chris’s brows furrowed. "Follow her." Ethan immediately started the car and pulled out into traffic, but the city’s congestion worked against them. Within minutes, they lost her. Chris clenched his jaw, irritation flickering in his sharp eyes. "Head straight to the mansion," he ordered, hoping she had gone home. But when they arrived, Eva was nowhere to be found but Kate and Bruce were in the house. “You are back home early today?” Kate said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. Chris ignored her nagging. “Isn't Eva home yet?” “No, she is probably still at work. Do you think everyone is as jobless and irresponsible as you? Kate retorted. For

    About an hour ago, Chris leaned back in his leather chair, his fingers drumming lightly against the polished desk of Pegasus Enterprise. The floor-to-ceiling windows of his office reflected the golden hues of the late afternoon sun, casting long shadows across the luxurious space. He had just finished reviewing a high-profile acquisition deal, but his mind was elsewhere. Eva. He knew he had failed to pick her up the previous evening. It was a minor misstep, but one he didn’t want to repeat. Their relationship was a delicate balance—one he wasn’t willing to tip over. He glanced at his watch. There was still time before Eva was scheduled to leave the Carter estate, but there was another obligation he had to tend to first. Standing, Chris grabbed his suit jacket and slipped it on with effortless precision. "Ethan," he called as he stepped out of his office. Ethan, who had been waiting outside, straightened immediately. "Sir?" "Prepare the car. I’m stopping by the hotel before he

    A few murmurs of agreement rippled through the room. Eva’s gaze sharpened, already sensing Eric’s intention to undermine her. She exhaled slowly, keeping her voice calm yet firm. "I find it amusing that you’re concerned about punctuality when this very meeting was only possible because of the business deals I secured for this family. Or would you prefer to discuss the countless contracts I’ve personally overseen that have elevated the Carter name?" Eric’s smirk faltered for a fraction of a second, but he quickly recovered. "Of course, we acknowledge your contributions. But it isn’t enough. You still have many other responsibilities to the family and as head you need to set an example." Eva folded her arms. "Oh? Do enlighten me." Eric leaned forward, his gaze gleaming with false sincerity. " You know this would have been much easier if you didn't have to drive all the way here.Why don’t you relocate the Carter family to your current mansion? It’s extravagant and more than spacious

    Back in her room, Eva leaned against the door, her hands balled into fists. She groaned in embarrassment, not sure about what she just did. Her mind was a storm of emotions—confusion, frustration, pain. The sight of that lipstick stain haunted her. Her stomach twisted at the mere thought of Chris with another woman. She had spent the entire day yearning for his presence, regretting how she had treated him… only to now be met with something that shattered her fragile resolve. Was she really being foolish? Had she been longing for someone who had already moved on? She shut her eyes, inhaling sharply. This feeling—this uneasiness gnawing at her—was unbearable. But there was nothing she could do about it. Not right now. As the night deepened, Eva lay awake, staring at the ceiling, her heart aching with emotions she didn’t know how to handle. And Chris, on the other side of the mansion, was just as restless—completely unaware of the storm brewing in Eva’s heart. T

    “Where have you been all day, Chris?” Kate’s voice rang through the house. “Do you even know what time it is? You think that you can. Just come and go as you please” Chris’s voice was calm, composed. “I had things to take care of, Mother.” “Oh, so you disappear for days, come back whenever you please, and don’t even think to explain?” “I’m sorry, Mother. I didn’t mean to worry you.” Kate scoffed. “Do you even care about this family? About Eva?” Eva clenched her fists. Why did Mom always have to bring me into everything? Chris remained patient. “I do care, Mother. But I had no choice. I had something important to handle.” Kate exhaled sharply. “You better not bring trouble to this house, Christopher.” Chris didn’t respond. He quietly climbed the stairs. Then came the sound of footsteps. Eva barely had time to react before she noticed Chris making his way up the stairs. Her heart pounded. Would he come to her room? Would he apologize? But instead, he walked straight past her

    The golden hue of the setting sun bathed the Cross Corporation building in a soft glow as employees exited the towering glass structure in waves. Eva Carter stepped through the revolving doors, her heart pounding with quiet anticipation. Her gaze instinctively swept across the bustling street, searching for the familiar sleek black car that Chris always parked near the curb. But he wasn’t there. She frowned, gripping the strap of her handbag tightly. Maybe he’s running late. It wouldn’t be the first time Chris had kept her waiting due to work, but he always showed up. Always. Minutes ticked by. First five. Then ten. The occasional rush of a car passing by barely distracted her from the growing tightness in her chest. She took a deep breath, pushing away the creeping unease that threatened to settle. He’ll come. He has to. But when thirty minutes passed with no sign of him, the bitter taste of disappointment curled on her tongue. She felt like a fool standing there, waiting. No ca

    Dexter was also equally confused, he was now sweating in fear but he still tried to regain control. “Mr. Landon, I assure you, this is just a misunderstanding—” Before he could finish, Felix turned and slapped him across the face. The entire room froze. Dexter stumbled, eyes wide in shock. “S-Sir?” Felix’s gaze was ice-cold. “You don’t touch people under my protection.” Dexter’s lips trembled. He had underestimated the weight of Chris’s connections. Chris leaned back in his chair, watching with amusement. “How dare you?....How dare you disrespect Mr.chris?....I’m going to see to it that you no longer have the liberty to conduct any more business in Brooklyn by the time I'm through with you.” Dexter was confused and could only drop to his knees instantly and bow his head in shame as he wondered how Chris was connected to the Landon family. “I'm sorry sir….I'm really sorry sir. I wasn't aware that Mr. Chris was a friend to the Landon family. I would not have acted disrespectfu

    Dexter’s grin faltered for the first time. His eyes darted to his hidden dealer, who subtly signaled that his hand wasn’t as strong as he thought. For the first time, uncertainty flickered in Dexter’s expression. But his pride wouldn’t let him back down. “All in,” he snarled. The dealer flipped the final two cards—King of Spades and a Nine of Spades. Chris had hit a Royal Flush—the highest possible hand. The room erupted into murmurs. Dexter’s face turned pale as he realized he had walked right into a trap. Chris leaned back, crossing his arms. “Looks like I win.” Dexter’s hands clenched into fists. “You… you cheated.” Chris tilted his head. “Cheating? You would know all about that, wouldn’t you?” Ethan chuckled. “Boss, looks like the casino manager isn’t used to losing.” Dexter slammed his fists onto the table. “I won’t let this slide.” Chris’s eyes darkened. “A deal is a deal. You don’t want to go back on your word now, do you?” Dexter ground his teeth. He did expect t

    To be honest, Chris had recognized Dexter the moment they locked eyes with one another. However, he acted otherwise hoping that the situation would become less complicated. “You damn bastard!....I told you we were going to meet again but who would have thought that you would actually dare to come into the casino all by yourself.” “You are getting yourself in this issue just like you did last time we met.” “What do you expect? I can't just stand by and watch your injustice.” “Fine. If you want to do that You want to pay off her debt? Let’s make it fun.” Dexter’s grin widened. “I have seen your fighting skills and I admit that you are good but let's find out if that applies to something else. I suggest a round of poker if you are confident in your skills.” Chris’s gaze didn’t waver. “I don’t play games I can’t win.” “What are the odds of the game?” Let’s make this interesting. Since we both have something at stake, let’s raise the buy-in.” Chris raised an eyebrow. “How much?”
