Chapter 0306
The courtyard lights danced in the darkness.
Five figures stood on the villa’s front steps–four behind, one ahead–staring down at Kelvin and his
parents
with thickening scorn.
Leading the pack was none other than Marcus.
“Miss Briers, bet you didn’t see this reunion coming!”
His eyes skipped over the yard, Kelvin, and his parents, fixating on Wanda standing just outside the
door. A sleazy smirk played on his lips. “I never would’ve guessed how to get Miss Briers to grace my
doorstep.
However, now,” he chuckled darkly.
With a swift motion, he gestured commandingly, “Get these two out of here, and bring Wanda inside!”
In a flurry of movement, bodyguards sprang into action. Two of them sliced through the ropes binding
Kelvin’s parents and, without a word, hustled them out the door.
Simultaneously, another group of guards ushered Wanda into the yard with brick steps. It was a

The heavy metal gate groaned shut, sealing off one world from another with its imposing presence.
“Dad, Mom!” Kelvin could not hold back any longer. He rushed to them, his arms wrapping around his
parents
as he sobbed, “Are you okay? This is all my fault. I’m so sorry for putting you through this!”
His parents, overwhelmed by the ordeal, cried until they were nearly collapsing. “What’s happening?
What did
you do to Wanda?”
“We might be safe, but what about Wanda? She’s in the clutches of Marcus Ledger now. He’ll… He’ll
harm her.
You have to do something–please, save her!”
As Kelvin dabbed at his mother’s tears, he turned, desperation etched on his face, looking at the
Porsche
parked behind him.
‘Mister Kane, Ray, my parents are out of danger. It’s all on you now!”
Wanda was pushed into the courtyard by two towering Ledger family guards, standing isolated in the
harsh glare of the spotlight. Her face was pale, her petite frame shaking uncontrollably with fear.
She was aware that Alexander and Ray were nearby, but that did little to comfort her as she faced the
infamous Marcus Ledger.
Could anyone assure her safety?
The Zabaleta Ledger family was a force that could not be shaken, and before Marcus, she felt like a
defenseless lamb, utterly powerless.

Marcus loomed at the top of the living room steps, his cruel smile wider than ever. “Miss Briers, you
seem
fond of running. How about another try?” he taunted.
“Strip and make your way to the second–floor bedroom. We’ve got all night, and I’m going to enjoy
every moment of it,” he sneered with a twisted joy.
Panic surged through Wanda, her heart pounding against her ribs. She could not think, could only run
toward the back door of the villa, her voice rising in a desperate plea, “Sir Kane, save me, please save
me!”
Sir Kane?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA flicker of confusion crossed Marcus’s face, then anger. “Catch her!” he roared.
Like a trio of predators. Andrew, Hec, and Hunter sprang into action, closing the distance in a
heartbeat, nearly
upon Wanda.
In a split second, as lightning–quick as their approach, something unexpected happened.
A loud crash echoed through the night.
A mere ten meters away, the massive door, crafted from alloy steel, burst apart with a thunderous
crash. It shattered like fragile scrap metal, scattering debris across the sky. Amid the flying shards,
seven or eight figures were flung to the ground in a chaotic heap.
“What the…”
The three onlookers‘ eyes widened in shock, and they stumbled backward, their hearts racing as they
caught sight of the young man standing in the doorway.
It was him!
The same guy who, back at Sunlight Club, casually outsmarted a burly, dark–skinned man, taking
down two of the fighting community’s Grandmasters with ease, and even snipping off their thumbs.
Alexander, the formidable youth!
