Peter leaned back beside Alexia, draping an arm around her neck and lifting her head slightly to rest against his chest. The scent of his cologne enveloped her, and he pulled out his phone, scrolling through his gallery with an unsettling calm.

“Take a look,“red in her ear, tightening his hold on her. “I want you to see what I’m capable of when I’m pushed to my
Alexia stiffened, her breath catching as Peter held her firmly. Just then, Eliya entered the room, catching what appeared to be an intimate moment between the two. Mistaking the scene for a tender embrace, she smiled softly, reassured that Peter’s presence might ease Alexia’s troubles.
“Sir, the driver has arrived. Ma’am, I’m leaving you in the care of your husband. I’m off to see my family,” Eliya said warmly.
Alexia could only watch in silence as Eliya left the room, her lips pressed into a thin line. Peter kissed her forehead with a chilling tenderness and said, “Eliya, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of my wife.”
When the sound of the car driving away faded, Peter’s demeanor shifted entirely. The warmth in his embrace turned into a vice grip. His eyes darkened as he brought his phone screen closer to Alexia.
“What you’re looking at,” he said coldly, “is what happened to your grandfather. It’s just a taste of what I can do. Frank Levett had unresolved business with Marcus, you know–Mary Preston’s husband. That’s the only reason I didn’t finish him off. Marcus’s thirst for revenge rivals my own. Frank was already stealing oxygen, decrepit as he was.

The video began to play. It was dark, but the soft glow of a bedside lamp illuminated the scene. Peter could be seen leaning over Frank’s sleeping form, carefully pouring acid near his eyes. Frank’s screams filled the room as he woke, thrashing in agony while Peter stood over him, his expression cold and unyielding
Alexia’s eyes widened with horror, and she realized the truth about her grandfather’s disappearance. He had used her to build an immense fortune by embezzling funds from Palmer Group, but now, everything they had amassed was in the hands of her tormentor.
“Alexia, my dear,” Peter said mockingly, “do you see now what I’m capable of? I am not Maximus, Get that through your head. I don’t hold back. Legally, you’re my wife because I made it so. I can move you wherever I please. If you ever think you can blackmail me, think again
He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a menacing whisper “Your grandfather was already a decrepit old man before I blinded him. He needed help with everything, but with what he stole, he hoped to live comfortably until death found him. Instead, I exploited his weaknesses and took everything”
Peter’s phone buzzed, cutting through the tension. The call display showed it was Dr. StephenSON.
