I ignored the sterile chill of the federal courtroom, the frantic buzzing of the press, and the sheer panic etched onto my father’s legal team’s faces. Victor Vance’s sleazy attempt to bribe the federal judge had imploded, but I couldn't care less.

    Ryder’s POV"Turn the power back on, and kill it again on my mark," I growled softly into the walkie-talkie.I tightened the black mask covering the lower half of my face, sliding a full magazine into the Glock-19 in my hand with a lethal click. Using the staff-only service elevator, I had managed to ascend undetected amidst the chaos of the initial blackout. My brain was no longer processing rationality or legal consequences. The only thing in my head was dragging Mary out of that bastard's bed, even if I had to burn this hotel to the ground to do it.The red digital numbers above the elevator doors lit up, indicating the top floor."Now," I ordered coldly."Sir, you have less than ten minutes before their technicians manually override the system," the voice of my hired hacker crackled through the radio.The elevator doors slid open. "Execute."In that exact second, the entire top-floor corridor plunged back into pitch darkness. I stepped out

It was absolute hell.Through the transparent glass walls of that Glass Penthouse Suite, a scene unfolded that made my lungs stop working.

    Mary’s POV"How do you have the nerve to show your face here, you bastard?" I maintained my haughty tone, glaring at his reflection in the mirror. Even though the reality was that my body, clad only in black lingerie, was entirely trapped beneath his massive, imposing frame. "You won't survive if Julian sees you treating me like this."Ryder let out a low, raspy laugh that vibrated against my back. "Tell him. Let him watch. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to do something crazier than this, Baby?""Stop it, Ryder! I have nothing to do with you anymore! I am Julian's fiancée... and you have a fiancée of your own!" I snapped, my breath hitching.At those words, Ryder’s jaw clenched. He spun me around roughly, his hands slamming against the marble vanity on either side of my waist, trapping me completely. His broad chest brushed against my breasts, which were heaving in panic.His gaze darkened, sweeping over my bare skin with brutal hunger. "You

    Ryder’s POVSMACK!A brutal slap landed on my jaw for the second time today. But this time, the blow came from my father, who was blindingly enraged."Ungrateful bastard!" Victor Vance's voice thundered, shattering the silence of my penthouse courtyard. My foot had barely stepped out of the car before he welcomed me with a ruthless glare and bulging veins in his neck."I bled to build this company, and because of your sheer stupidity... everything is falling apart! Half of the Vance Group assets that I fought to death to secure just fell into the hands of that bastard Richard!" he cursed, his chest heaving.I touched the numb corner of my mouth, staring at him with eyes as cold as ice. "That won't exactly make you a beggar, will it? Consider it karma for all your dirty work over the years.""Karma?" Victor laughed cynically, a sound laced with venom. "Oh... who do you think I did all this for, you idiot? I built this empire for you!""I don't

    Dante’s POV I stood frozen behind the door of Master Victor’s study. From the shadows, I could hear Maddox rushing in, clutching his tablet. "Master," Maddox’s voice sounded tense. "Our team finally managed to track the source of the leaked document. The IP address originated from Switzerland." "Switzerland?" Victor snapped, his voice laced with menace. "Explain. Who dares to do this? Who has the power to breach our security systems?" "They used military-grade encryption, Master. Our IT team couldn't even touch their firewall. They are operating under the umbrella of Kessler Holdings." Silence fell over the room. That name alone was enough to make someone like Victor freeze. "Kessler Holdings? Damn them.
