Chapter: The chairman’s offerChapter 15The elevator doors slid shut with a soft chime.Ashley stood frozen.Across from her, Patrick Walker smiled politely, as though they were two old acquaintances meeting for afternoon tea instead of strangers caught in the middle of a deadly conspiracy.Neither of them spoke.The elevator continued its slow ascent.Ashley kept her back against the polished steel wall, her heartbeat thundering in her ears.She had imagined this moment many times.The mysterious man whose name Dominic had spoken with such caution.The chairman.The man connected to Adrian.The man whose arrival had shaken even the legendary Ice God.Yet Patrick Walker looked nothing like the monster Ashley had expected.He appeared calm.Cultured.Refined.His silver hair was neatly combed back, and the expensive navy suit he wore fit him perfectly. A gold watch rested comfortably on his wrist, while a walking cane with a carved ebony handle remained tucked beneath one arm.Everything about him radiated dignity

Chapter: The truth hidden in the flamesChapter 14Ashley’s fingers trembled as she stared at the message glowing on the hotel phone.Come to the rooftop alone if you want the truth about your parents’ deaths.For several long seconds, she couldn’t breathe.The room around her seemed to disappear.All she could hear was the pounding of her own heartbeat.“My parents…” she whispered.Her voice cracked.“They died in a car accident.”Dominic remained silent.Ashley slowly turned to face him.“They did… didn’t they?”His silence answered her before his lips ever moved.Ashley’s chest tightened painfully.“No.”She shook her head repeatedly.“No… don’t do this.”Dominic closed his eyes briefly.“I was hoping you’d never receive that message.”Her eyes widened.“You knew?”He didn’t deny it.“You knew the truth this whole time?”“I knew parts of it.”Ashley laughed bitterly, though tears had already begun gathering in her eyes.“Five years.”Her voice echoed through the destroyed hotel suite.“Five years you stayed beside me.”“

Chapter: The chairman’s gameChapter 13The polished marble floor of the Grand Crescent Hotel reflected the glow of the crystal chandeliers as Patrick Walker stepped out of the elevator.His movements were slow and deliberate, yet every person in the lobby instinctively lowered their heads as he passed.Power had a presence.And Patrick Walker carried it effortlessly.The seventy-year-old billionaire looked every bit the respectable businessman the world admired. His silver hair was neatly combed, his navy suit impeccably tailored, and his expression radiated the calm confidence of a man who had spent decades building an empire.To the public, he was a philanthropist.A visionary.One of America’s most influential entrepreneurs.Only a handful of people knew the monster hiding behind the polished smile.Behind him walked six bodyguards dressed in identical black suits.One of them stepped closer.“Chairman, the police have secured the twenty-third floor.”Patrick smiled faintly.“Police are only useful when they

Chapter: A past written in BloodChapter 12The corridor fell into an eerie silence.Broken glass crunched beneath Dominic Walker’s polished leather shoes as he stepped forward, positioning himself between Ashley and the stranger standing at the far end of the hallway.The emergency lights cast long shadows across the damaged corridor, making the man’s smile appear even more sinister.Ashley could finally see him clearly.He looked to be in his early thirties, dressed in a perfectly tailored charcoal suit that fit him like a second skin. His dark hair was neatly combed back, and a pair of black leather gloves covered his hands despite the warm summer night. His face was strikingly handsome, but there was something deeply unsettling about the calmness in his pale blue eyes.Those weren’t the eyes of an ordinary man.They were the eyes of someone who had witnessed countless deaths and never lost a night’s sleep over any of them.The stranger smiled wider.“I was wondering how long it would take before we met again.”Do

Chapter: Ice God unleashedChapter 11The deafening crash of the door echoed through the suite.Another violent slam.The solid oak door groaned as cracks spread across its surface like spiderwebs.Ashley instinctively backed away, her breathing becoming shallow.“They’re coming in,” she whispered.Dominic never took his eyes off the entrance.“I know.”His voice remained unnervingly calm.Almost too calm.Ashley looked at the pistol in his hand before looking back at him.This wasn’t the Dominic she had known in California.Back then, he had been gentle. Patient.He spent countless hours encouraging her through painful rehabilitation sessions, celebrating every tiny victory as though it were his own.But the man standing before her now His icy expression sent chills down her spine.He looked like someone who had walked through countless battlefields and survived every single one.Another crash.The hinges bent inward.The gunmen were almost inside.Dominic reached into his pocket and pressed a tiny black earp

Chapter: The man who never leftChapter 10Ashley stared at the man standing before her, unable to believe what her eyes were seeing.“Dominic…”The name escaped her lips as little more than a whisper.Five years.It had been five years since she had left New York broken, abandoned, and convinced her life was over. Throughout those years, only one person had remained by her side without asking for anything in return.Dominic Walker.He looked almost exactly as she remembered, yet somehow even more intimidating. His tailored black suit fit him perfectly, emphasizing his tall, athletic frame. His sharp jawline, piercing gray eyes, and calm expression gave away nothing, but Ashley knew him well enough to recognize the anger hidden beneath that calm exterior.His gaze swept over her quickly.“Are you hurt?”Ashley blinked, still trying to process everything that had happened.“I… I don’t think so.”Dominic stepped closer, inspecting the small scrape on her wrist where she had hit the wall during the struggle. His expres
