Bloodcurdling screams echoed throughout the house, each cry piercing the air like a blade.

Kane's men pulled a scorching hot iron from the fire and pressed it against Curtis and Leah's foreheads, branding them with the mark of their sins.

The sizzle of burning flesh mixed with their agonized wails as blood streamed down their faces. They writhed in pain, reduced to nothing but a sobbing, broken

mess.

This was justice. The past had finally caught up to them.

As the guards turned toward Ruby, ready to do the same, Kane's voice cut through the chaos.

"Leave her." His lips curled into a dark, twisted smirk. "She's mine."

At his command, the guards immediately released her.

The moment Ruby felt their grip loosen, she sprang to her feet. Without hesitation, she shoved the nearest guard, catching them off guard. Before they could react, she bolted for the door, her heart pounding in terror.

The guards instinctively prepared to chase her down, their muscles tensing as they prepared to intercept her escape.

"Don't follow her."

The words stopped them cold. They turned to Kane, their confusion evident.

Garrett and Diana exchanged glances before Diana stepped forward, concern etched into her face.

"My son," she said, her voice firm yet laced with regret. "I was wrong to ever think you cared for that woman. She's vile. She doesn't deserve your mercy. Don't let her go unpunished."

She still believed that on the night of his children's birthday, Kane had been speaking about Ruby. She

wanted to make sure he saw the truth now.

Kane took one last, deep drag from his cigarette before crushing the smoldering bud beneath his boot.

His gaze flickered from his father to his mother as he exhaled a slow stream of smoke. "Don't worry," he said, his voice cold and resolute. "Your son never learned how to forgive. I let her go because I want to deal with her myself."

Curtis and Leah sobbed, their bodies trembling as they fought against their restraints, trying to stop Kane from leaving. They knew exactly what he was capable of.

Now, faced with the consequences of their deceit, regret consumed them. They begged, pleaded for

mercy.

No one listened.noveldrama

Kane stepped outside, rolling his shoulders as he cracked his neck. His sharp gaze swept over the landscape until it landed on the path leading into the woods. A slow smirk formed on his lips.

"Ruby Wade," he murmured. "You're not as smart as you think you are."

Without shifting, Kane took off running toward the forest.

She had made a fatal mistake.

Thinking she could escape through the woods, she had chosen a path that would lead her straight to him. She believed she could cross the border and disappear, but she had no idea just how fast he could hunt.

Meanwhile...

Ruby ran as fast as her legs would carry her, desperation clawing at her chest.

Her mind raced, trying to make sense of how everything had fallen apart so quickly. Her parents-once powerful-were now nothing. Kane had uncovered everything. But how? They had erased every shred of evidence.

So how did he find out?

Her frantic thoughts were cut short when her foot caught on a jagged rock. With a sharp gasp, she tumbled forward, hitting the ground hard. A cry of pain escaped her lips, but she quickly slapped a hand over her mouth, forcing herself to stay quiet.

Then-a sound.

The unmistakable crunch of twigs snapping behind her.

Her breath hitched. A shiver ran down her spine. Slowly, hesitantly, she turned her head.

Nothing.

She exhaled shakily, relief flooding her veins. The noise had stopped.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she pushed herself up and turned back toward the path.

And then-

A scream tore from her throat.

Kane stood directly in front of her.

Her body went rigid, her pulse hammering in her ears. She stumbled back a few

steps, her voice shaking. "P-Please... don't kill me."

A wicked grin stretched across his face as he tilted his head slightly.

"Didn't you plan the car accident for her?"
