"So tell me, Leon," she whispered back with a sardonic smile. "Who's the real fool here?"
Leon’s jaw tightened, his fists clenching at his sides. He hated being made to look like an idiot, and Athena could see the way his temper flared.
But then, he suddenly laughed.
A low, cold laugh.
"Three days, Athena," he said, his voice sharper now. He pulled the contract from his coat pocket and tossed it onto her lap. "You have three days to decide. Sign it, or you won’t be leaving here at all!"
Athena glared at him, her breathing ragged. She refused to look away, refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing her break.
"Go to hell!" she hissed.
Leon let out an amused chuckle. Then, with a shove, he pushed h

"You don’t get it, sir?" Edward hissed, pacing furiously. "Mr. James is already closing in! If we don’t move now, we’re done!""Running will only confirm his suspicions, Ed. If we stay put and act like nothing’s wrong, we might have a chance to slip away unnoticed!" Leon remained still, his expression unreadable."That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard, sir. Do you think Mr. James is stupid? He’s a damn predator! The second he senses blood, he won’t stop until we’re ripped apart!" Edward let out a frustrated growl, making Leon’s jaw tighten."You think I don’t know that?" He took a slow breath, his fingers twitching in irritation. "But moving her now is too dangerous. The moment we step out of here, we expose ourselves!""Then what’s your brilliant plan, sir?" Edward ran a hand through his hair, his patience weari

Athena’s heart pounded as she crouched behind the crates, her breath coming in shallow gasps. Every muscle in her body screamed in pain, but she refused to let it stop her. The warehouse door was only a few feet away. If she could just reach it.Slowly, she inched forward, her bound hands fumbling to grip a metal pipe lying on the ground. She barely had time to steel herself before a chilling voice cut through the silence."Going somewhere, darling?"A sharp gasp escaped her lips as the shadows shifted, revealing Leon standing just a few steps away. His dark eyes gleamed with amusement, but there was something far more sinister lurking beneath his smirk.Athena forced herself to stand tall, even as fear clawed at her throat. "Stay away from me, Leon!"He let out a low chuckle, stepping closer. "You still think you have control here? That’s adorable, really!" His gaze

Arthur barely had time to react before the air filled with chaos. Heavy wooden beams and metal rods clattered against metal crates as Leon’s mercenaries stormed the warehouse. Arthur and his men fought back, hurling whatever they could find—iron pipes, wooden planks—turning the space into a brutal melee."Hold your positions!" he barked at his men, gripping a thick wooden baton.A mercenary charged at him from the side. Arthur pivoted, slamming the baton into the man’s jaw, sending him sprawling. He didn’t hesitate before bringing it down hard on the man’s chest."Mr. James! Or should I call you Arthur the thug?" A mocking voice rang out above the chaos.Arthur turned just in time to see one of Leon’s top men smirking at him. The bastard held a crowbar, swinging it lazily in his grip."You should’ve just walked away," the man sneere

Athena clenched her teeth as she forced herself to sit up, ignoring the sharp pain radiating through her body. Leon stood a few feet away, watching her with that maddening smirk—the same one that made her want to claw his face off."You're enjoying this, aren't you?" she spat, her voice laced with venom."Oh, darling, don’t be so dramatic." Leon chuckled, slow and deliberate. "I’m simply ensuring you remember where you belong!""I don’t belong to you!" Athena hissed, her glare burning into him. "No matter how many times you drag me to these disgusting places, no matter how many times you try to break me, I will never be yours!"Leon tilted his head as if considering her words, then let out an exaggerated sigh. "And yet, here you are. Locked away, under my control, with nowhere to run. You’re in no position to be making demands, darling!""You think t

"How is he doing, Doc?"A woman in a white coat with a stethoscope draped around her neck let out a small sigh. She glanced briefly at her patient, who had just been transferred from a small hospital on the outskirts of the city, before turning her gaze back to someone she had never met before, her expression somewhat difficult to interpret."It looks like further examination is needed. So far, there are no signs that the patient will regain consciousness. The head injury seems quite serious."Silent, one of Arthur's subordinates could only sigh softly. He turned his eyes back toward the small window in front of him, his heart aching as he watched his superior lying there, helpless, with several injuries on his body."So you can't determine exactly when he'll wake up?"The doctor, who had also examined Athena before, slowly shook her head. "I'm sorry, but I can't make any further

Arthur’s head throbbed as he slowly opened his eyes, the harsh fluorescent lights above him making him squint. His body ached all over, and every movement felt like a battle against his muscles.He tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through his ribs, forcing him to clench his jaw. How long had he been out? Where was Athena? The last thing he remembered was chasing after her, determined to find her, and then—darkness."Sir?"A familiar voice broke through his disoriented thoughts. One of his most trusted men rushed to his side, relief evident in his eyes."You’re awake, sir. We were starting to worry and—""Where is she?" Arthur’s voice came out hoarse, barely more than a whisper. He ignored the burning in his throat and tried to swing his legs over the edge of the hospital bed."Sir, please. You’re still too weak.

"Mrs. Athena, is your purpose in holding this press conference to explain that your marriage to Mr. Leon has been fine amidst all the bad news?"Cameras flashed relentlessly as journalists fought to be heard over one another. Athena looked a little nervous. She was clearly unprepared for all this even though she was the one who planned this activity in the first place.Yes, this is indeed her plan. But it's not entirely like this. Initially, she just wanted to stand in front of the many camera flashes alone or at least be accompanied by Arthur. She wanted to explain her collaboration with the man's company. She certainly didn't expect to be accompanied by Leon, who had clearly caused her so much suffering."Is it true that you filed a police report against him, Mrs. Athena? If so, why are you standing here with him today?""Yeah, did he force you to be here? Are you being threatened, Mrs. Athena?"

As soon as the press conference ended, Leon wasted no time in dragging Athena into his car. The moment the doors shut, the charming mask he had worn in front of the cameras shattered."What the hell was that Athena?!" he snapped, his voice filled with barely contained fury. His hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "You were hesitating! Do you think I didn’t notice? Do you want to ruin everything for me?!"Athena remained silent, her nails digging into her palms. She knew that arguing with Leon would only make things worse. He was furious, and when Leon was angry, he became unpredictable."Answer me!""I did everything you asked," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I said what you wanted me to say.""Not well enough!" he barked and scoffed. Leon turned to her, his dark eyes filled with menace. "You’re lucky I was there to clean

"Arthur…"As soon as Arthur stepped into the car, Athena couldn't hold back her emotions any longer. She threw her arms around him, burying her face in his chest as tears spilled down her cheeks."I’ve got you. You’re safe now," he whispered against her hair. Arthur caught her immediately, wrapping her in a tight embrace. She clung to him, burying her face into his chest."I was so scared!" she admitted between sobs. "I thought I’d never see you again. I thought—""I told you I’d come back for you," he murmured and pulled back just enough to cup her face in his hands. His thumb brushed away her tears. "I’d fight through hell to reach you!"A fresh wave of emotion washed over Athena. She pressed her forehead against his with sobs that had not subsided.

"No! It's—""Let us examine all this evidence first, Mr. Leon. You can testify later!"Leon tried to evade but the odds were stacked against him. With a sharp glance at Arthur and Athena, he clenched his fists tightly again. His brain was trying to think of a quick escape in this situation, otherwise he would end up in prison for a long time."All of this evidence is very sufficient, sir. I hope from today he can be arrested immediately. Moreover, he had previously committed a lot of crimes that harmed many people," Arthur added, occasionally returning Leon's sharp glance with his stern gaze.Athena, who witnessed all this again, could only remain silent with a transfixed gaze. She still couldn't believe it, even though in her heart she felt very happy with Arthur's presence.Didn’t Leon say that the man was unconscious for days after being brutally beaten by hi
