Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1318

The truth hit King like a freight train. As the dirtbag had said, even his mother probably hadn't known. If she had, she'd have wanted that man obliterated, not left breathing.

How low could a man go, letting his own goons violate his wife and then record it? The creeps involved were the old king's cronies, meaning some folks in today's four major families were part of that sick game and still kicking around. When King took the throne, they must've sweated bullets, fearing their dirty secret would get out and cost them their heads. Lucky for them, King was clueless, letting them skate by all these years.

The old king was using these videos as leverage, hoping King would off every guy in them. There were over thirty, all holding key positions in the four families. Wiping them out would shake the kingdom to its core, causing total chaos. That was the old king's twisted plan. He even had the nerve to demand King's wife, bragging about his taste for Australian beauties and promising to return her once he was done. "You'll agree, won't you, my son?" he sneered. In this society, women had a miserable status, and it wasn't unusual for a new king to take his predecessor's consorts. This wasn't even a secret, and the outside world never batted an eyelash.

The royal family was infamous for its tangled lineage and constant drama.

When King read the message, his grip on his phone tightened, eyes flashing with fury.

"King, you've got three days to decide," the message taunted, promising a helicopter at 7 PM to take his "beautiful wife."

King had mobilized everyone he could, including Max's shadowy crew, but the old king was slippery, hiding out and using the videos as his shield.
