Jolene, who heard the shocking confession, froze, her eyes widening like the moon.

“B…big B…oss?” she stuttered, her face paling.

“Jolene?” Cassius’s voice sounded from her speaker. She had forgotten she had already called him. “Is everything alright?” he inquired.

She couldn’t reply and just ended the call, her hand trembling. She shook her head.

“That can’t be right,” her lips trembled.

Meanwhile, the room turned dead silent after a word. One could hear a pin drop.

Mr. King?!

Cassius King?!

The father of her son?!

Tatiana felt the world around her slow down as Zero’s words sank in. Her mind went haywire, her face paled, and her heart pounded hard.

Not Cassius of all people! He’s lying! Zero is lying!

“Your look shows you do not believe me—” Zero scoffed. “What did I expect, anyway? Of course, no one will believe the King that dominates is a devil in disguise…”

“You’re lying,” Tatiana retorted, her voice barely audible. She was already tearing up. This was just too much for her to

    "You've been running your mouth too much, Zade," Cassius called him by his real name.Zero laughed, even with the pain coursing through his mouth. He glanced over at Cassius."It's been a long time since I've seen your Devil. What a breath of fresh air.""You killed Isabella Wallington. Why?"Zero laughed harder, a sound that made Cassius's jaw clench with anger. He moved swiftly to grab Zero's collar."Spill it out, Zade. You’re not going to like my next move," he growled."C'mon, Cassius, I know you well. Stop pretending to be so innocent, like you've never had blood on your hands before..."In the next moment, a knife was at Zero's neck, drawing out a small trickle of blood."I don't mind adding another," Cassius glared."You know damn well you can't kill me. I won't spill, even if I die. That's just how I roll.""It must be someone pretty powerful, huh? Or are you just trying to piss me off?""Both," Zero chuckled, and Cassius let go of him."Well, that would be pretty fun. Your d

    Cassius was on his way back to his mansion when Tatiana's call came in. She hadn’t called him since the day he left, and he hadn’t called either.The fact that she had thought, even for a moment, that he was behind her sister's death made his blood boil. He understood her part, but he couldn’t help the anger he felt.When he answered the call, he was greeted by Tatiana's whimper and a familiar voice: Zero.Without hesitation, Cassius tracked Tatiana's phone and saw she was close by. He sped up, parked his car in a discreet spot, and made his way to them."Your punishment just doubled, woman. Do you think he'll be that quick to save you?" Zero taunted, but a cold, deep voice interrupted him, making his heart skip a beat."I'm already here, asshole," Cassius growled, his eyes cold as he saw the blood on Tatiana's head.Zero immediately drew a knife from his pocket and swung it behind him, but it was a fatal mistake. Cassius twisted and broke Zero's arm, his eyes darkening further as he

    Hudson waited outside a restaurant for Indigo. She had called him to pick her up, and his heart was racing. He had been trying every means to avoid her, but she somehow always ended up around him.Finally, Indigo emerged from the restaurant, clad in a beautiful short silver gown."Hey, Hudson. I'm so sorry I called you like that. My assistant told me my car broke down, and she wouldn't make it on time. I needed to get out of there as fast as possible, which is why I called. I hope you weren't busy?""No, it's fine. What are you doing here anyway?" Hudson asked, composing himself."Blind date.""What?""Yeah, a blind date. I needed to get my mind off Cassius, so I thought seeing another man might help, but I was wrong," Indigo sighed. "This guy wouldn't stop talking. He didn't even let me introduce myself.""Maybe he was trying to impress you.""Oh please, he might as well have told me how good he was in bed," Indigo rolled her eyes, and Hudson let out a secret smile that quickly disap

    At first, Tatiana thought he was drunk, but she didn’t perceive any scent of alcohol from him. Maybe she was hearing things.The same room with Cassius? She would go crazy!Just the feel of his hands around her was already making her heart race, and now he wanted her to stay in the same room.“It’s fine if you say no,” he whispered, breaking the hug. “I just don’t want to be alone, that’s all.”Those eyes of his made it hard for her to resist staying. The subtle plea in his eyes caused her lips to move on their own.“Yes.”His lips curled up slightly, and his eyes crinkled on one side. Tatiana realized what she had said—a word she couldn’t take back.“How’s your head?” he asked lightly as his hand reached for the hair that covered the wound and lifted it up.Tatiana’s heart skipped a beat when his hand brushed her skin. She felt a jolt of electricity run through her body and couldn’t believe how sensitive she felt around him recently.“I’m fine,” she forced herself to respond.“Let’s

    "Pardon?""Pronounce that she fell into another critical heart attack, and this time, she didn’t survive," Nathan clarified, and the man's eyes widened even more.Wasn’t this man upset because the hospital almost caused his wife's death? And now, he was asking them to announce her dead.Could it be... he was the one behind the strange incident?"That’s unprofessional...""Then I should take down this...""No!" The man quickly cut Nathan off. "I’ll do as you say, but... may I ask why?""Just do as I say," Nathan responded coldly.__In a few hours, the news circulated like wildfire. Paisley’s death shocked everyone to the core. It was unexpected...However, while everyone else fell for the trick, Tatiana didn’t. When she decided to look into the matter, she found a nurse working at the hospital.When Tatiana asked about Paisley’s condition, the nurse refused to give her details until she received a bribe."Well, don’t tell anyone I told you this. I overheard Mr. Nathan Redmond visited

    Shoot his leg?Nathan's brow creased as the guard delivered Cassius's message."This is Dylan's father doing, isn't it?" Nathan asked Tatiana."You should stay. I'd love to see you lose your leg. That would be a lovely scene," Tatiana responded calmly. She was glad Cassius had taken this action; she was about to throw up because of Nathan's presence.This man irritated her to the core. She wondered how stupid she had been years ago."Well, sadly I came unprepared. If I had known you were coming, I would have come better equipped," Nathan said gently. His mind drifted to the stranger at the school—the man who took down the whole school just because Nathan approached Dylan.He was definitely someone dangerous, but Nathan still wouldn’t back down."Mister," the guard called out and reached for the gun in his pocket."Alright, alright, I’m leaving. Tell your boss to chill the fuck out," Nathan stood with a dirty smirk. He looked back at Tatiana. "I'll see you around, darling."Tatiana cle

    [NEXT MORNING]Tatiana woke up to the orange hues of the sun slipping through the slightly parted curtains. She frowned when her eyes met a firm chest, her nose tingling at his familiar scent.She slowly looked up at his face. Gosh, why must he be this handsome even in his sleep?His face was calm, peaceful, and serene. Tatiana's gaze lingered on his lips, her heart skipping a beat as she recalled how they felt on hers. She blushed as her heart fluttered."You know deep down he likes you, Tatiana," she recalled Indigo's words.Could it be true? This man is way out of her league. Considering the way he protects her, it slightly proves Indigo's words to be true.She can't deny the fact that she feels something for him too.Is it worth it? What if she gets hurt again? She won't be able to handle it.She gently removed her hand from around his torso and lifted it to touch his face. Just as it was about to reach his skin, he opened his eyes.Tatiana froze, her face reddening in her awkward

    The next day, Tatiana's mood was bright and charming as she worked on the set. The aura around her radiated happiness."How's the big boss doing, huh?" Jolene teased as she handed a bottle of water to Tatiana during her break."What do you mean?" Tatiana asked, removing the cap of the bottle and taking a sip."Nothing," Jolene shook her head, and Tatiana raised an eyebrow.

    [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
