I stood outside, listening to Nick as he worked on breaking ander down. The boy was good, too good for my liking. I never intended for those boys to be involved in myne of work. Keeping Nick behind was never meant to have him do this, it was meant to keep him away from Olivia. Being around her was slowly destroying him, and he couldn’t even see it. Or maybe he could, but simply didn’t care. 

He was still my nephew, and no matter what, I couldn’t let him destroy himself over my daughter. 

Elodie and I had been working on rebuilding our relationship, and if something were to happen to her son, ir would tear us apart beyond repair. But as I listened to Nick, began to wonder if it was already too late. 

He seemed to relish the power, taking pleasure in breaking Kander, plece by piece. His face was cold, vold of emotion, as he spoke. He was a natural at this, like someone who had been doing it for years, a professional. Watching him behave like that scared the hell out of me, they said I was the heartless one, but what was Nick? He had always been a skilled businessman, but I never thought he would find this side of the work so easy. The detachment he displayed… it was chilling. The boy got shiver running down my spine and no one had ever been able to make me feel that way besides father. 

Looking at Nick now, the boy looked exactly like his grandfather, whenever the man opened his mouth in front of his target, he made sure to make him imagine hell as if he was talking about a place he had been. His home. The 

man was ruthless. 

Xander was struggling to breathe, blood staining his clothes as he gasped for air. But Nick remained unaffected, unmoved by the sight. Exactly like father, it was like looking at the old man at work. Which scared the living daylight out of me. 

“Are you still going to waste my time?” Nick asked, his tone as cold as his gaze. He shrugged nonchalantly, a grim smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. The little devil! “Suit yourself. I am not the one who’s dying. And it’s not my son who won’t have a father. Even if I died, my son would still have his grandfather, his stepfather, and his second father, Ethan. Who will yours have if you die?” 

Xander flinched, visibly shaken by Nick’s words. I would be telling lies if I said I wasn’t affected as well. Did I sound and look like that when working? It hit him harder than I thought it would. Nick knew exactly where to strike, and he used that weakness with precision. 

It was as if he had studied Xander for years, understanding his deepest fears and vulnerabilities. That was Xander’s soft spot, and Nick was exploiting it without hesitation. 

“Get me a doctor to stitch me up,” Xander gasped, his voice strained, “and then I will tell you everything you want to know.” 

Nick chuckled darkly, the sound echoing in the otherwise silent room. chills! I found myself pulling my coat even closer to myself as if I were cold, “You do realize, don’t you, that if you are playing games with me, I won’t stop Luke from doing whatever he wants to you?” 

He didn’t need to threaten the boy using my name, he was doing a good job himself and Xander looked like he feared him more than he could ever fear me, what the boy had towards me was not fear but anger. Yet with Nick, I saw real fear in his eyes, the kind that got him rethinking everything he has ever done. 

I could feel the tension rise in the room as Nick’s eyes flicked toward me. Our gazes locked, and I could see the subtle shudder that ran through Xander’s body, like he was suddenly cold. I felt the same. 

“Okay, Xander,” Nick continued, his voice now a chilling whisper. “I hope for your sake, and your son’s, that you

are a man of your word. Because If you are not…” He let the threat hang in the air, his eyes cold and unwavering 

Then, without another word, Nick turned and began walking toward me. I followed him silently, my steps echoing on the cold concrete floor. When we were far enough from the door, he stopped and turned to face me, a look of quiet intensity in his eyes. 

“Get him a doctor,” Nick said, his voice sharp and decisive I don’t want to be responsible for a son losing his father.”
