In front of him stood a large, seemingly abandoned warehouse. From the outside, it looked ordinary. Old metal walls, dim lighting, quiet surrou
The drive to Glassrose Manor was mostly silent. Alex sat in the back seat beside Rose, his presence as steady and unyielding as ever, while Derek occupied the front passenger seat next to the driver. Inside the car, the atmosphere was tense and heavy. Alex’s attention remained fixed, his sharp ga

Unlike Luthor, Rose was still dressed neatly and even though it wasn't really expensive clothes, she knew that the clothes she was wearing were expensive as well. And with the way she carried herself and the air surrounding her, she could tell that Rose might come from a rich household as well. Ro

“You assholes, that wasn't the agreement between you and my mother!" Amelia argued back. “Is it? By the way, where is your mother? Did you bring your brother here to complain about what my boys did?" Cobra asked. “You are the one my mother had an agreement with, right? Even if she owes you money,
