Jonathan parked the car, but when Anneliese hurried to open the door, she found it locked. Startled, she turned to him. “What’s wrong?”

He leaned back, calm as ever. “Tell me what identity should I use when I demand her release?”

–

Anneliese blinked, then quickly caught on. Jessica’s current identity was fake. On paper, she was still part of the Johnson Family. Marcus was her brother, and he had every excuse to take her away.

Without a solid reason and strong standing, even Jonathan couldn’t simply pull her out. He couldn’t exactly claim she was a friend–of–a–friend and insist on meddling in someone else’s family business.

Bang!

A heavy crash echoed from the villa ahead.

Anneliese jolted, panic overtaking her reasoning. “Forget it, we’ll see once we’re in. As long as Jess gets out safe, nothing else matters.”

Jonathan unlocked the door, and they stepped out together.

Anneliese darted ahead, ringing the villa’s doorbell. It took a while before two guards in black appeared, scowling. “What do you want? Leave now.”

The guards‘ expressions changed instantly.

The Fullbuster heir was notorious in Halden, and in Oceaton, his name carried even more weight. The Johnson Family might be Baytree’s local tycoons, but here they were nothing. No one in their right mind would cross the Fullbuster heir.

One guard rushed to open the gate/while the other ran inside to report.

Jonathan reached out without hesitation and took Anneliese’s hand, leading her in.

They had barely stepped into the foyer when a tall man in a robe appeared. Gold–rimmed glasses gave him a refined look, but the sharp, shadowed eyes behind them betrayed something far darker,

He smiled as he spoke, a predator in disguise “Mr. Fullbuster, what an unexpected honor. My humble home is truly graced by your presence His tone was warm and polite, but the words dripped with

He was none other than Marcus Johnson.
