41. A Lie & The Flight

Ethan P.O.VMy eyes were glued to Claire and Chen Lien chatting away. It looked super fun, but I just couldn't bring myself to join in. Even though I'm tight with Chen Lien, I can't chat that closely with him without feeling like I'm lowering my self-esteem in front of them.Even though they were just a few steps away, sitting right next to my seat, I had no clue what they were actually talking about. They were laughing like they didn't even think about the trouble I went through yesterday because of what they did. No, not them, but what Claire did.I snorted, turned my face away, and focused on the clouds outside the window. It made me feel a bit better than just watching them chat."Alpha, do you need anything?" Danny suddenly asked after taking a seat in front of me."No. But tell me, are they at the transaction spot yet?""Of course, Alpha. They're already there. But before I told them we were coming, I said we'd be a few hours late because you had other stuff to handle.""Why did

42. A Smoke & The Phone

Ethan P.O.VWhen we all arrived at Hongqiao Airport, just as Chen Lien said, his people were already waiting for us with a few cars parked by the runway. They looked like they'd been waiting since morning, and seeing them open the car doors as soon as I stepped off the plane made me believe that Chen Lien was someone worth considering for a long-term partnership.I took my usual spot in the back seat, followed by Claire, who sat next to me at Chen Lien's request, while he sat in the front with the driver who then drove us away from the airport.Not used to sitting next to Claire, who just stayed silent around me, I rolled down the window and lit a cigarette, letting the smoke drift partly outside and partly towards Claire, making her uncomfortable.As I was enjoying my smoke, my phone rang. I didn't recognize the number, but whoever it was, if they were calling me, it had to be business."You're a real man, Ethan Randall." The voice on the other end was raspy, chuckling, though I had

43. A Cigar & Bastard

Ethan P.O.VAfter ensuring I had control over the situation, Chen Lien and I headed straight to Huang, Shanghai’s biggest gambling district. It’s not as large as Chengzu, but it has enough business space for me.As I puffed on my cigarette, Chen Lien scanned the surroundings, making sure no one was around to interrupt our deal, especially Alesio’s men. That bastard, I’m sure he’ll do anything to get what he hasn’t managed to take from me yet.The car that brought us to the location stopped in front of a small love hotel flanked by large casino buildings on both sides. Even though it was a small hotel, I was pretty surprised when I entered because the people there weren’t ordinary folks; they were all couriers and small-time dealers surviving by scamming and selling a bit of stuff from people like me.Besides them, I also saw a few officials sitting with sexily dressed prostitutes, perfectly curved bodies and round chests prominently displayed, using their charms to entice the perverte

44. A Lie & A Good Girl

Claire P.O.VIt feels totally insane. How could I be so mad and lock myself up when I'm in a place I might never get to visit again in my life?So, after I saw Ethan leave with Chen Lien and the others, I went downstairs, planning to explore the whole city—my first time in this foreign place. But when I reached for the door handle, a guard stopped me, asking me not to leave the villa under any circumstances."I just want to look around,” I said.“You still have to wait for Alpha Ethan to come back.""I'm not waiting for that jerk to return. I don't even know where he went or why!" I fumed, feeling like I was arguing over nothing."You can wait in your room until that happens." He tried to touch my hand, but I quickly stepped away. Because I knew if I complied, I'd be locked in that room."Can you cooperate with us?" the man asked. "If Alpha Ethan finds out you escaped, it won't just be you who gets punished; we'll be dead too."I narrowed my eyes. "Dead? Is that your job in contract?"

45. Night Market & The Stranger

Claire P.O.V“How long do you want to stand there? Come in. Didn’t you want to go to the night market like you talked about when you were on a flight?”Ethan urged me to move on. He was already behind the wheel, wearing a grey blazer over a black t-shirt. A t-shirt might not fit his personality, but seeing him in it with that blazer made it work. At least he didn’t look like a gangster.I quickly hopped in, sat right beside him, and buckled up. For a moment, everything seemed normal. But then, I realized this was the first time I’d seen Ethan drive alone. He never did that; even when he picked me up at the beachfront restaurant the other day, he let Danny do that. Never once had he driven himself.Of course, he has plenty of people who’d happily do that for him.“Where’s Chen Lien? Isn’t he coming?” I asked after buckling up.“Now he’s on meeting with another client.”“About your drugs?”Ethan gave a slight smile. “Do you think that’s all my business is about?”“Then what else? Isn’t

46. Lie & Liar

Claire P.O.V“I don’t get what you’re saying, sir. Nothing is tying me to Ethan Randall.” I tried to keep eye contact with him, even though deep down, I was terrified.Yes, I was terrified. His eyes held a chilling power that made my feet turn to ice. My body trembled, but I fought to keep it under control. I knew he would relish in my fear, thinking he had won by using Ethan Randall’s name to crush me.The man sighed, exhaling the last cigar smoke, then tossed the half-lit cigar out the window. It looked like he was throwing away trash, but from his actions, it seemed like he was gearing up to say something new to me.“I know you’re a good girl, and it’s not right for you to stay under Ethan Randall’s thumb, especially considering he could ditch you anytime.” Yep, he was getting started.I knew it was a provocation, and I was sure this guy had a problem with Ethan just by seeing him once back then. So, I just shook my head and smiled, responding calmly to everything he said.“I find

47. Awareness & Nothingness

Claire P.O.VI tossed the food wrapper I just finished into the trash can that wasn't too far from us. Even though Ethan initially wanted us to leave the place immediately, I still wanted to enjoy the night outside the big villa, which felt stuffy, so we ended up staying here."You sure you don't wanna leave yet?""Of course. This is fun. Hearing street music that's different from my old place, seeing people with different clothes and ways of speaking, even different languages. It's just too fun to miss," I answered.Ethan clicked his tongue in annoyance and laughed at what I said. "Huh, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? You never even left that church dorm for years, right? So why are you talking like you're actually enjoying something you've missed?""I didn't go out often. But didn't I say that I often went with Sister Alberta to attend some important masses at big churches in several Packs? There's no reason for me to feel that this is my first time in a foreign place,

48. The Night & Phone

Ethan's P.O.VKill Claire Halle. Maybe that's the only way to break free from this bond. There might be other ways to sever our connection, but none seem as effective as killing Claire to cut all ties.Yet, a part of me rejects this plan. Killing isn't new to me—I've done it since I was thirteen. But I've never killed someone close to me. Sure, I've killed prostitutes who were spies for my business rivals, but never someone I slept with willingly.It's almost dawn, but I can't sleep. Usually, I'm more comfortable in foreign places than with my own Pack because I don't have to deal with Pack matters or see Lucy.I walk to the window and see that Shanghai's night is still bright, even though it's almost dawn. It should be quiet outside, with only the guardians on duty, but I see Chen Lien and Claire enjoying a bottle of wine and some food.I cross my arms, watching Chen Lien finish his work without reporting to me. Besides, didn't Claire eat a lot of snacks at the night market and even

49. Flesh & Blood

Ethan P.O.VChen Lien placed a plastic bag containing a finger and several human teeth before me. Quite a sight to see, especially after I was so angry at the owner of these items on the plane yesterday.Feeling like I'd just been handed the sweetest gift, I smiled as I lifted the bag to examine it from above. "Look at this, how beautiful it is," I praised."I also got this from Don Azacha's kids," Chen Lien said, handing me a red folder filled with some very important papers, given their unpredictable source."Looks like they've figured out your moves from how you've been beefing with Alesio Huggman. So, after I handed over what you ordered, they immediately gave this to me."I put the bag of fingers and teeth back on the table and turned my attention to the folder Chen Lien had handed me. Upon opening it, I was surprised to find property deeds and land certificates for the entire Chengzu district. This is a stroke of luck I'll never get twice in a lifetime. Just by giving something

50. Rest & Go!

Claire P.O.VI should've known what to do with the offer from Christopher Gale. I'm not good at making decisions, but I also need to learn something about Christopher Gale and Ethan.But asking Ethan or Chen Lien directly feels like a conversation with my demise. Where else could I get information about this guy if not from Ethan or Chen Lien?I stared at Ethan, who hadn't moved an inch from his seat. This was rare, considering that during our trip to Shanghai a while back, Ethan was too busy to sit for even a minute at the villa, especially after our night market adventure. I spent more time with Chen Lien. But now, Chen Lien was nowhere to be seen.Since we returned to The Silver Fire Packhouse, my movements were restricted by Lucy Torrance's presence. Not because of her presence but because I didn't want to cause any drama with Ethan's fiancée.And the entire day after returning to the Silver Fire Pack, I holed up in my room, avoiding everyone, especially Lucy, who was always looki
