In the heart of the north, within the storied walls of the Jess family, the final hours of Gerald's day-long wake were drawing to a close. In the hushed funeral parlor, his casket lay open as the funeral director applied the last touches of makeup before the cremation and interment."Master."The bu
The electric bike eased to a stop on a country road, five miles from the Xanthos Industrial Park.Callie's expression turned to stone!She had it all, family, looks, nothing short of what Amber had. In fact, she even had the upper hand. She and Alexander were the envy of all, childhood sweethearts w

Among the top ten elite families, six of them...As the masked man said that, Erick's eyes widened in disbelief.It meant that six major families had all joined the Black Maple Organization!"Black… Black Maple..." He murmured to himself as if trying to make a decision, then suddenly looked up to th
