Catelyn stormed her way into the mansion, ignoring the maids and guards who bowed in her presence. She pushed her way into his room, her gaze finally locking onto the man she was looking for-her older brother.

"Tell me this isn't true," Catelyn's voice trembled. Maximus looked up at her, his usual stoic expression unchanging. He didn't seem surprised by her return.

"Hello, little sis..."

"Don't you dare greet me," she cut him off. "Tell me you didn't fake Isabella's death, that you didn't send your eighteen-year-old daughter to a brothel to sleep with different men and have a bastard child. Tell me you didn't send Maya into an abusive marriage on purpose just for your empire. Tell me you didn't make Tatiana go through hell... Tell me!" Catelyn's voice rose, her eyes blazing with fury.

Maximus remained calm, asking a simple question, "How is this your concern?"

"My concern?" Catelyn scoffed in disbelief. "I watched Tatiana traumatized by everything you put her through. They are your bl

    Odessa stepped hastily into Maximus's room, her gaze disturbed as it fell on him."What happened to Tristan?" she asked, worry lacing her voice. When he didn't reply, she exclaimed, "What happened to Tristan?!"Maximus slowly turned to look at her, his gaze cold. "What?""H...he's your brother. Are you not going to save him?" she asked. She had just received the news of Tristan's territory being ambushed, and it caused her heart to clench."So?" he questioned, approaching her slowly. Odessa found his gaze strange. His reaction baffled her, and she knew better than to anger the man before her, especially when he was in this kind of mood."We should send the men and help him...""No one is sending anyone to save Tristan. He got what was coming to him," Maximus responded, and Odessa's eyes slowly widened."You..." Her lips parted in disbelief. "You knowingly handed your brother over to the Kings?""What? Are you so disappointed?" he asked, stepping forward again. Odessa couldn't bear the

    At school, Leonard watched his brother being surrounded by other classmates. Rafael was now bold, calm, and acting confident, while Leonard, on the other hand, was cautious of him.The scene of Rafael cutting his cheek had somehow traumatized him."Your brother is hot," his girlfriend said beside him, and his eyes snapped toward her."You don't mean that, do you?" he gritted his teeth."Um... yes, I do. You're acting weird. It seems like your spirit has transferred to your brother... And I... fell for that spirit," she packed her books and went to meet Rafael with a smile.Leonard scoffed and muttered, "I'll fucking kill him. I swear it."___"You motherfucking son of a bitch!" Tristan screamed insanely as Hudson let go of the electrifying machine.Tristan's hands were chained above his head, his legs bound to the floor. A collar was around his neck, and blood cascaded down his battered body.Pain washed over Tristan like a crashing wave. His bones felt like water, his eyes were red a

    Frustrated muffles could be heard as Jolene struggled to get out of the water, but the strong hand held her in place. Her mind was becoming blank and hazy as her lungs burned from the lack of oxygen.She was slipping into darkness. Was this how she was going to die?Just before she could pass out, a voice boomed across the space."Hey! What the heck are you doing?!"Jolene felt Lisa's hand loosen around her neck, and she forced her head out of the water, pushing Lisa away.A loud gasp tore from Jolene's throat, her eyes wide as she collapsed onto the floor. She looked up at the person who had intervened-Paisley and some of her minions.As Lisa made to approach Jolene again, Paisley spoke."I asked you a question," Paisley snapped, and Lisa shot a cold glare at her."Mind your business-""She is my business," Paisley cut in. "I should be the one to deal with her, not you. She's my enemy's assistant, the one who put me into this hell and caused my husband's death. The one who caused the

    Before Jolene could stand, she was kicked back down. Lisa hovered over her as Jolene struggled to get away from her grip."Please, no! Stop! Arghh! Help!""Goodbye, Jojo." Lisa raised the knife, ready to stab her, but instead, a loud thud echoed as someone smashed a brick against Lisa's head.Lisa's eyes rolled back, and she passed out beside Jolene.Paisley, who had hit her, exhaled. "I fucking hate that bitch."Jolene quickly stood and gave Paisley a wary and focused look."Why are you here?" Paisley asked."Long story," Jolene muttered, noticing how much Paisley had changed over the months."How's my son?" Paisley asked lightly."He's fine. We've been checking on him," Jolene paused for a moment before speaking again. "Thanks.""This feels like shit... But I hate that bitch. Get out of here. You don't want to get into trouble... She might wake up soon," Paisley said."What about you?""Just get the fuck out of here," Paisley snapped, and Jolene slowly nodded. She turned and left. A

    Falcon went straight to Issabella's room. He found the girl gazing into the mirror, lost in thought. When she heard him come in, she stood up with wide eyes and stepped back. "Uhmm... who are you?" she asked softly, her voice trembling. Falcon gazed at her, his eyes scrutinizing her from head to toe. Maximus had told him all about her, and he was impressed by how this girl had survived them all. "Your soon-to-be husband," he responded, and her eyes flashed with fear. She froze, tears welling up in her eyes. "Uhmm... what do you want from me?" she asked. "Isn't it proper for a man to meet his bride before the wedding?" he asked, and she stayed quiet, her fingers nervously fidgeting. Issabella watched as the mysterious man took a step closer, restraining herself from stepping away. His unique blue eyes could captivate anyone-they were intense, cold, and seemed to have seen many things. Her heart raced in fear with each step he took toward her. He lifted his hand to touch

    Break his nose?Never in his life had Maximus felt this way before. Speechless, he remained frozen for a few minutes, trying to digest what had just happened.A kid just threatened him?Soon, he burst into loud laughter-a laugh that hadn't happened in years. That was quite a conversation back there.Dylan King is indeed Cassius and Tatiana's son. The boy had inherited his parents' traits. He actually threatened to break the nose of one of the deadliest mafia bosses in the city. It was indeed interesting.An idea struck him.He had no heir? That was the thought that came into his head after finding out Rafael and Leonard were Tristan's sons.No... He did have an heir, and he had just spoken to him.Dylan was his grandson, and to top it all off, he had the blood of the Kings running through his veins. The same boy had just shown him his true side. If that boy grew up to be a man, he'd be unstoppable."Tssskk... why didn't I think of such a thing before?" he mumbled."You've fallen in lo

    Tatiana advanced slowly, her emotions in turmoil as she struggled to pinpoint how she felt seeing Jolene right before her. "What's going on?" she finally managed to ask. Jaxon stepped forward and handed her the device. He then explained everything. With each word and realization, Tatiana felt her heart slam against her chest. Her eyes widened as tears slowly welled in them. Tatiana's jaw clenched as she shot Jolene a glare. "Why did you lie? Why didn't you tell me everything? Why did you keep it in? Don't you know how bad I feel right now?" Tears fell from Jolene's eyes. "I was scared. Scared that you'd hate me and throw me aside. That hurt so much. But I knew the day would come when you'd find out the truth. I'm sorry, I just... I felt like I deserved it. I didn't want to lose you too. My recklessness caused Issabella's death, and I... I can't lose you too. I just want you to be safe, Tatiana." Tatiana's lips parted in disbelief. "You don't know, do you?" Jolene's eyes fli

    Tatiana gasped as the words slipped out of her mouth. Her hands flew to her lips as she watched Cassius' face contort in shock."Oh God, I said it," she whispered, her eyes locked onto his.It took a moment before Cassius finally whispered, "Rebel," his voice barely audible, laced with both shock and excitement. "W...what did you just say?""Well... uhmm... the thing is, I... I missed my period last month, and this month too... though I haven't confirmed if it's pregnancy...""Jesus Christ! Rebel!" Cassius exclaimed, a smile slowly spreading across his face. He swiftly leaned forward and began kissing her nose, mouth, lips, and cheeks."You're pregnant!" he exclaimed, kissing her again."Cash, I haven't confirmed it yet. I'm not sure!" Tatiana exclaimed, surprised by his enthusiastic reaction. He was genuinely happy.He captured her lips for a brief kiss. "I love you so much, wife. You're the best," he said, his eyes shining with joy."But what if it's not... what if I'm just late?" s

    [Four years later]Issabella spun around to look at the women in the room. "How do I look?" Nervousness was evident in her voice. She was wearing a professional outfit, her hair tied into a bun, with light makeup accentuating her beauty."Fantastic!" Tatiana responded. "You're really made for this.""President Issabella, right on track!" Jolene exclaimed, a ring glittering on her finger. She had married Jaxon last year. In her arms was little Elsa, dressed in a blue fluffy dress."Gosh, I feel nervous," Issabella exhaled, fanning herself several times."You're fine," Tatiana approached and adjusted her shirt.Jolene added, "Just be yourself.""Are you okay with this? I mean, you've been handling it for a year now..." Issabella asked Tatiana."With you by my side. You're way more capable than you think. Besides, handling it with my career is stressful," Tatiana said."Especially when Tatie won the Best Actress Award three times in a row," Jolene added."Drama queen," Tatiana mumbled."

    Cassius's face paled, mirroring the expressions of the others. Jaxon choked on his drink before bursting into laughter. The others joined in, and the room erupted with laughter.After they finished eating, they all headed to the park. Cassius decided to buy the entire place for his son and wife.Jaxon stood at a distance, watching Tatiana, Cassius, and Dylan riding the carousel. Aurora stood beside him, also watching."A wonderful sight, isn't it?" she sighed. "For a fleeting moment, I thought I'd never see this. Silly me."Jaxon put his arm around her shoulder. "You'll get to see this every day." He then recalled what Cassius had said about Silence and Aurora not wanting to meet each other.He knew it was for the best, but his heart ached knowing Aurora never experienced true love... or maybe she did.She cared for her family more than anything. The smile on her face and the happiness glittering in her eyes were priceless."Aren't you going to ride with them?" Jaxon asked Jolene, who

    Meanwhile, Rafael glanced at the man seated beside him with his eyes closed. He was now so used to his cold aura. "You're not going to see her? I mean, Mr. King's mother?" he asked. "I'm not going to meet her." "Why not?" Rafael asked, curious. "Can you keep your mouth shut? I'm trying to meditate here." "Says the man who used me. I'm still mad at you, you know... But weirdly, I'm glad you found me," Rafael mumbled. "So what are you going to do with me?" "Your choice. Either you stay and get the hell out of my way, or you come with me and become like me," Silence said curtly, standing to leave. He had gone far when Rafael ran to walk beside him. "You called me your apprentice. I'm going to stay that way. My place is with you," Rafael responded, and the man shot him a glare. "You wanna die? 'Cause I'm damn sure you won't last a week." Rafael laughed confidently. "Try me." Silence's lips curled up. "Fine then," he muttered, continuing to walk with Rafael beside him. "What are

    Cassius gazed down at Silence, his father, his emotions in turmoil as he recalled how he had stormed into Silence's room, eyes blazing."You're helping me," he said, and Silence turned to give him a questioning look. "Helping? And what makes you think that?""Rafael told me everything. How you made him turn against his family, causing their death. You hate the Wallingtons," Cassius said, and Silence simply returned his gaze to the sky he was looking at."If you want me to hate, then just say so instead of acting like a fucking asshole."Silence shut his eyes and sighed. "You're one stubborn son of a bitch. I'll be done and gone soon. So if you're going to throw a tantrum, do it later.""Why didn't you ever show up?" Cassius persisted. He wanted to get the answer out of this man at all costs. At least he knew something-Silence wasn't an enemy."I clearly recall telling you not to bother knowing who I am.""Well, sorry, Dad... I'm going to trouble you until you spill the shit," Cassius

    Horror flashed across their faces as they exchanged glances."Is this a joke?" The middle-aged man on the right slammed his hand on the desk."Do I look like a comedian?" Tatiana asked in a calm tone, her aura composed. She looked up at the guard standing behind her."Do I?" she asked him."No, ma'am," he responded."I didn't think so, so no, it's not a joke... Oh," she gasped slightly. "Maybe because I didn't explain it well." Her face suddenly turned cold, and the shareholders wondered if she was the same calm woman they had seen seconds ago.She leaned down, resting her elbows on the desk, her chin on her knuckles. "This company has been in the hands of trash-people who use innocent lives for their selfish interests. I'm here to take out that trash, starting with you."Another man stood up and roared. "You wench! Do you even realize what you're saying?! This company would collapse without us. We are the backbone of this place!""Oh really? Let's test that, shall we? I'll prove to y

    "Uncle Conrad," Dylan called as he accompanied Butler Conrad in the kitchen."Yes, Dylan," Conrad answered, his voice calm."Don't you think it's wrong not to tell my parents about good Grandpa? My mother will be so mad at me once she finds out," the boy said, his tiny legs swinging as he sat on the stool."They'll find out about him soon. You don't want to spoil the surprise, do you?" Butler Conrad asked, and Dylan sighed."I don't know. Strange things are happening lately. Mom, Dad, Grandma, and everyone are so busy. I haven't seen Aunt Jojo since she left that night. A bad grandpa plans to hurt my parents, and my birthday is coming up. School's started, and I haven't gone yet." Dylan paused to catch his breath."I just hope they're okay and everything gets back to normal.""Stop worrying, kiddo," Butler Conrad said softly, glancing over his shoulder. "You'll see them soon enough.""Alright, if you say so," Dylan nodded.___'If that motherfucker turns out to be an enemy, we'll all

    Hudson advanced towards Tristan. "I've been waiting for this my whole life," he said, shoving the poison into Tristan's neck. Tristan gasped as the guards released him to the floor. Tatiana watched as Tristan struggled for his life, screaming in terror, wishing the pain would end soon. She recalled how the agony had driven her to madness... but the poison used on Tristan was even more painful than what had been inflicted on her. "Make it stop!!! Arghhh!!!" Tristan's screams echoed through the room, the veins in his face and neck bulging, his eyes changing color as blood spilled from his mouth. His hand reached out, trying to grasp Tatiana's dress, begging for the antidote. "Please... Argh!!!" For the pain he had caused her loved ones, especially Issabella, who had once seen him as a father figure. For the trauma he had inflicted on so many. Tristan deserved every ounce of the pain ravaging him at this moment. He deserved ten times more. Several minutes passed, and Tristan's movem

    Cassius gritted his teeth. "I'm going to destroy Maximus and his empire... And if you get in my way, I'll destroy you... Until my last breath."As the men spoke, Rafael remained silent. Mr. King was also terrifying, his aura menacing. No wonder he's Silence's son.If you look closely, they share a striking resemblance.Silence sighed. "Chatting with my grandson was way more fun than chatting with you."Grandson? Wait! Dylan?!"When did you speak to my son?" Cassius asked, a deadly warning lacing his voice."Let's just put it this way..." Silence paused and chuckled. "Your butler, Conrad. He works for me."Cassius's eyes widened.-[SPAIN]"¿Estás seguro?

    "I killed Leonard... I really killed my brother without a second thought... I pulled the trigger... He wasn't going to kill me, but I did it anyway... Or maybe he was going to kill me... I'm a murderer... I'm a fucking murderer who killed his own brother in cold blood... I killed someone---"Rafael panicked, running his hands through his hair, pulling at it. He was losing his mind over Leonard's death-because of him. The scene of pulling the trigger, Leonard falling with blood spilling from his chest, Leonard whispering that he didn't want to die, and taking his last breath-played on repeat in his head."I killed him... I'm a fucking murderer," he whispered again, fidgeting in his seat and pulling his hair harder. "I fucking killed him! I killed him!" he yelled, standing up and punching the wall."I killed him!" he screamed again, punching the wall over and over until his fists started to bleed, staining the floor.The door opened, and he abruptly stopped."What the heck are you doing
