★★★★Layla's breath hitched as she stepped back, half-hidden behind her mother, a soft, terrified whisper escaping her lips. "Damon Colley..." Kesha’s heart pounded in her chest, the sight of armed men in her home sending a surge of icy fear through her veins. She tried to keep her voice steady, to muster any semblance of authority, but the fear was palpable in her tone. "Who are you people? And why have you barged into my home with guns drawn?"Damon’s eyes were cold, filled with a fury that cut through the air like a knife. "Where is she?" His voice was low, almost a growl, but it carried the weight of a deadly promise.Kesha's hands trembled slightly, but she squared her shoulders, trying to hold onto her composure. "Who are you talking about? We don't know anything!" Her voice wavered as she tried to appear strong, though the fear that gripped her heart was almost overwhelming.Damon’s expression darkened, his patience wearing thin. "If you waste another second lying to me about
★★★★★Damon remained silent, his expression as cold and unyielding as ever. He didn’t so much as glance at the growing inferno or the chaos erupting around him as his men continued to stoke the flames. The fire was spreading rapidly, devouring everything in its path, and the servants, realizing the danger, began to flee in a desperate bid to save their lives.Kesha watched in horror as the fire consumed her home, the heat pressing against her like a physical force. Panic clawed at her insides as she realized that Damon had no intention of stopping, no matter how much destruction was wrought. Her voice broke through the crackling flames, trembling with desperation and fear. "Your fiancée—Cindy—she’s taken Jasmine somewhere! They’re planning to sell her, to ship her out of the country. They might already be at Sixth Vetch Dock. There’s a ship there—it’s set to leave soon, and Jasmine will be on it!"Her words tumbled out in a frantic rush, her fear driving her to reveal everything she k
★★★★ When Jasmine awoke, disoriented and groggy, she realized she was strapped to a stretcher, her body jostling as someone wheeled her through a dimly lit corridor. Panic clawed at her as fragmented memories flooded back—the last thing she remembered was trying to negotiate with the boss, only for him to inject her with something that pulled her into darkness once again. "Where are you taking me?" Jasmine’s voice trembled as she struggled against the restraints, her heart racing with a frantic need to escape. Her hands and feet were bound tightly to the stretcher, rendering any attempt at freedom futile. "Shut up, or I’ll gladly toss you into the water!" the man pushing her barked, his tone cold and devoid of sympathy. It was then that Jasmine caught sight of the looming shadows outside—a dark, hulking ship anchored near the dock. The realization hit her like a punch to the gut. They were taking her onto that ship, and the alarm bells in her head began to ring with a deafening urge
★★★★★Jasmine could see nothing but the relentless fury in Cindy’s eyes, a burning desire for revenge that threatened to consume them both. Struggling against her restraints, she could feel the panic rising, but she refused to let it show. "He’ll hunt you down, Cindy," Jasmine spat, her voice steady despite the growing dread in her chest. "You’ll find this world too small to hide, and trust me, your twisted intentions are worthless. You’re clinging to nothing but your own delusions."Cindy’s face twisted in fury at Jasmine’s defiance. "You insolent—" she began, but the words choked in her throat. Her hand darted to the ground, fingers curling around a sharp piece of metal. Her breath quickened, driven by a blind rage. She raised the weapon, her eyes locked on Jasmine’s face, the hatred there almost tangible.But before she could lunge, a firm hand seized her wrist from behind. "You’re reckless," Haedon’s voice cut through the tension, cold and commanding. "Acting on impulse will only
★★★★ The chopper hovered ominously above the ship, its rotors slicing through the air with a deafening roar. But Damon wasn’t in it. Instead, he had chosen the stealthier approach, cutting through the dark waters below, his body moving with lethal precision as he reached the ship’s hull. His pockets were weighed down by the cold, familiar weight of the guns strapped to his waist, and his eyes—those dark, stormy eyes—gleamed with a menacing intent that spelled doom for anyone who crossed his path. Up on deck, a nervous-looking man rushed over to Haedon, his voice taut with urgency. "We should blow up the chopper. He’s in it, waiting for the perfect moment to land." Haedon’s gaze remained fixed on the horizon, a calculated calm in his demeanor that belied the chaos brewing around them. "No," he said, his voice steady. "He’s not in the chopper. It’s a decoy, a bait to distract us. Keep your eyes on the woman. That is where he will head." As his men scrambled to follow his orders, Cind
★★★★★"I’m fine, Jasmine," Damon whispered, his voice a soothing contrast to the firm grip he maintained on her hand. His eyes searched her face, looking for a sign of relief in her expression, but all he found was a deep, unsettling fear. The concern etched in her features made his chest tighten, even as he tried to reassure her. "No trap, no matter how well-crafted, can't harm me. Not when I’ve come this far to find you."But Jasmine shook her head weakly, her voice strained as she forced out the words. "No, Damon, you don’t understand. Finding me... it’s not a miracle. They wanted you to find me—they brought you here to kill you."Her throat was raw, her voice cracking with every syllable, a testament to the torture she had endured. The desperation in her eyes was unmistakable, and it sliced through Damon like a knife. He could see how much she was struggling, how each breath seemed to cost her more than she could afford."Shh... don’t talk," Damon murmured, his tone gentle yet com
★★★★★Haedon’s voice thundered over the chaos, sharp and demanding, "Who the hell gave the order to fire on Damon Colley?" The response came in a hurried, panicked rush, the fear palpable in the man’s voice. "Boss, it wasn’t us! None of our men raised their guns. There’s another group on the ship—we’ve been infiltrated!"Haedon’s face twisted in fury as the reality of the situation sank in. What had begun as a meticulously crafted plan was unraveling at the seams, disintegrating into a bloody, uncontrolled mess. Meanwhile, Damon himself was far from unscathed. A jagged, rusted rod had sliced through his arm, leaving a deep, bleeding gash. The pain was sharp, but it was nothing compared to the seething rage that burned within him. Ignoring the blood that soaked through his sleeve, he took down the attackers one by one, his aim steady, his resolve unbreakable.With one hand clutching his wounded arm, Damon pulled out his phone and dialed Phil, who was still in the chopper circling ove
★★★★ Haedon’s lips curled into a wicked grin, his voice laced with venom as he taunted, "She’s in hell, Damon. Suffering in ways you couldn’t even begin to comprehend. And you know the best part? It’s all because of you." His words dripped with satisfaction, each one designed to twist the knife already lodged deep in Damon’s psyche. As he massaged his neck, wincing from the earlier impact, his laughter filled the air—cold, mocking, a sound that grated against Damon’s nerves. Damon’s vision blurred with a red haze of fury, his restraint snapping like a brittle thread. With a primal roar, he lunged at Haedon, every ounce of his strength channeled into the attack. But Haedon, anticipating the move, sidestepped with a swift and practiced motion. In one fluid movement, he pulled a knife from his sleeve and drove it deep into Damon’s side. The blade cut through flesh with a sickening sound, and Damon’s breath hitched as searing pain radiated from the wound. He staggered, his body betrayi
★★★★ "Ellie!" Gary tried to approach Harley's mother, but he stopped him, saying, "Don't come close to mom. I didn't lay my hands on you just because of her even though I was on the verge of ripping your neck off your body. So, Again count yourself lucky!" Harley growled at his father. Just then, one of Harley’s men interrupted. "Boss, this woman is fainting!" Harley’s gaze shifted briefly to Amanda before he gave his orders in a cold, merciless tone. "Take her to the hospital. Make sure she doesn’t die, and ensure she gets proper treatment at our camp." Amanda tried to protest, but her words failed her as she collapsed. Without hesitation, Harley’s men carried her away, leaving the scene in tense silence. By that time, Harley's mom mustered up some strength and looked at her husband with pain and tears. Earlier, when Amanda said those things about Gary, she denied them without a second thought, even though somewhere in her heart, a bad feeling was swirling. But, in the end, she wa
★★★★"Are you hurt?" Harley asked, concern lacing his voice."Yeah, my foot," Nadia winced, her grip tightening around his neck. "I think something’s stuck in it."Without hesitation, Harley scooped her up in his arms, cradling her gently as he made his way inside, his jaw set with determination."It's Amanda, and she has more people inside," Nadia cautioned him so that he could have his gun ready."Humph!" Harley hummed only, then took her to a place where there was little light and a small place to sit. He carefully laid her down, turned on the phone's flashlight, and said, "Hold it up on your feet and let me see what it is?"Nadia's face was tired and sweaty, but her eyes were calm seeing Harley in front of her eyes. She got the phone and held it up, only then did they both notice a nail embedded in her left foot.As soon as Harley touched the nail, Nadia cried out, clutching his hair in her palm as her agonizing voice erupted, "Oh, it’s hurt!"Harley looked up at Nadia’s painful f
★★★★★ "I don't know how...." Harley's mother's hands were shaking as she held the gun in her hand. "There's no time for a lesson! Just put the muzzle on my handcuffs and shoot!" Nadia shouted, her impatience growing as Amanda's people could show up at any second. "Alright," Harley's mother muttered, exhaling sharply. She pressed the muzzle against the lock and fired without hesitation. The handcuffs snapped open instantly. Nadia forthwith ran to Amanda and pulled her back by her hair before Amanda could able to run out of the room. "Let me go, bitch!" Amanda protested, trying to scream. But Nadia held her back with her arm around her neck. Suddenly Amanda's men arrived with guns drawn. Seeing them, Amanda screamed, "Don't just stand there and help me!" She gritted her teeth and spat at the people who should have been running to her aid. "Don't come close to her if you want her alive and well?" Nadia yelled, holding Amanda tightly as she tried to strike a deal for them to escape.
★★★★★Meanwhile, Harley returned home and learned from the servant that his father had been awake for a while but had ordered no visitors until he permitted it. Ignoring the warning, Harley marched straight to his father’s room. Rather than knock, he pounded on the door.His father’s irritated voice boomed from within. "I warned you—I don’t want any interference! If you all want to keep your jobs, stay out of my business!"At that moment, Harley responded by firing on the door lock and then kicking it open. Gary ran to the corner in fear, his back hitting the wall. When Gary saw that it was Harley who had shot at the door, he blurted out, "What's going on in your head? You could have called me!" "Where are they?" Harley yelled with murderous eyes."Who are you talking about?" Gary replied, trying to sound calm, but miserably failed under his son's intense gaze. Harley clenched his teeth and rushed to his father, who tried to escape, but Harley grabbed him by his throat and howled, "
★★★★★ Jasmine was exhausted, thirsty and going through the ripping pain in her shoulder, but she made sure she reached out for her husband, who was looking for her crazily. "Hello... it's me!" Jasmine said in a tired voice and crawled away from the dead man. Since it was almost dark, she took refuge behind a tree and decided to stay there until Damon came. "Where are you?" Damon's harsh voice broke out, full of impatience and tension. "Come and get me. I am tired and I...I killed a man who wanted to kill me," Jasmine said, "Also a group of people took Nadia with them. She is in danger too. Bring men," Jasmine said, closing her eyes. "Hang in there!" Damon said. There was a sense of reassurance in his voice that calmed Jasmine and she replied, "Okay!" And she touched her shoulder where she felt pain. Meanwhile, Harley reached the mansion where Amanda's father was busy in the swimming pool with some young lady. As soon as they entered, they all started screaming in fear becau
★★★★★"I don’t know anything!" Harley’s mother stammered, her voice trembling as she scrambled towards Nadia, who sat handcuffed in the corner. "In my sleep, I felt someone’s hand on my face, and I jolted awake. I tried to fight, and Harley’s father did the same, but they injured him before dragging me out of the villa. It was dark outside.""I think it’s the same people who brought you here. They pretended to be the police and tricked me," Nadia said calmly as she looked at Harley's worried mother."How is his father?"Nadia felt bad hearing Harley's mother's worried voice."When I left the villa, a doctor monitored him and the doctor said he is fine and has no injuries," Nadia said."You are not lying to me, are you?" Harley's mother asked again just to believe Nadia was not saying the positive just to keep her calm."Why would I lie to you to keep you satisfied when both of our lives are at stake? I was thinking about your son. I'm afraid he won't deal with this situation patiently
★★★★Nadia didn't go to her house. Instead, she went to Jasmine's house. All the way she kept wondering if Amanda was really that stupid. Knowing Harley's nature, how could she dare to attack his mother, and why did she think that kidnapping Harley's mother would make it easier for her to get back into his life?When she was about to enter Jasmine's house, a police car blocked her way, which shocked Nadia, and she quickly got out of the car in confusion and asked, "What happened, Sir?!" At the same time, Jasmine saw Nadia and the police from the balcony, where she was walking with a coffee mug in her hand. So, she decided to go and see what the matter was."Are you Nadia Hazelwood?" a policeman asked.Nadia replied, a little nervously, "Yes, sir, I am Nadia Hazelwood. Is something wrong?""We found illegal substances in your house. You have to come with us to the police station," the cop said, showing off the handcuff to Nadia who could no longer stop herself from panicking as she mut
★★★★ As the morning dawned Nadia found herself pinned down by a strong arm around her waist and unable to breathe. But what scared her the most was the thought that Harley was naked. She moved quickly and looked under the sheets, but he wasn't naked; he was wearing his boxers, and she sighed with relief. Then she tried to push his hand out of her to get up, but he grumbled, "Let me hold you a little longer." "I have a lot of work to do; hugging won't buy me time," Nadia grumbled. "You work in my office, and as your boss, I am ordering you to remain on the bed with me; if you're so free, you can show me your care by kissing me," Harley said. "Stop your nonsense, Harley. Your mother will come anytime and I will feel ashamed," Nadia put her hand on his face and tried to push him away, but she couldn't. Though his sleeping face looked innocent and peaceful, which urged her to stare at him for a long time, she refused to do that since she was embarrassed to show her affection. Suddenl
★★★★★"Uh..huh! What did you hear him talking about?" Harley replied calmly."He was talking to someone in the garden who I couldn't see so I was standing near the wall and listening to their conversation, then I heard your father say that if that person can't achieve what he has been given to do then he should kill himself or your father will kill him," Nadia said with shock and fear in her eyes as she thought that Harley’s father was going to harm someone."Hmmmm... Dad is consumed by the greed to get the power. That is why he abruptly came here with Mom," Harley said, making his way to the bed, his hand unbuttoning his shirt, while he added, "Let him do what he wants. I'm glad you found something entertaining in this house!""How come you are so relaxed even after knowing all this? What if he is plotting something dangerous against you because I felt he has no sympathy for you or no care that you are his son," Nadia said impatiently putting both her hands on her waist as she did no
