The Almighty Dominance

Alex rose to his feet, concern flickering in his gaze.

"All right, I'll take my leave now, Elizabeth, you need rest."

Jasmine stood up as well. "I'll see you out," she said, then turned to the old

woman.

"Nana, please don't worry about Charles. You should rest, too."

Elizabeth closed her eyes, heaving a tired sigh.

"You're right, child. It's not like I don't know his temper after all these years. Maybe it's my fault for spoiling him too much."

Meanwhile, in another hospital room down the hallway, a similar scene was unraveling-albeit with far more chaos.

Jack, every inch of him in bandages, lay moaning on his hospital bed.

Thick plaster casts wrapped around both legs, and his head was swathed so tightly that only his nose and mouth showed.

His eyes burned with anger.

"Mom! I can't believe Alex actually hit me. You have to teach that bastard a lesson he'll never forget!" he whined, nearly spitting with rage.

Florence smoothed her hand over Jack's blanket as if to soothe him. "Don't worry, sweetie. I promise you, he'll never see daylight again once I'm through with him."

Marco cleared his throat and stepped closer.

"Mrs. Lancaster, it's appalling that Alex dared to lay a hand on you and Jack. It's almost a relief Sophia finally divorced him."

Florence's features twisted with fury.

"Exactly. But he's not getting away with this. Please, help me figure out how to teach that jerk a real lesson. I can't sleep at night knowing my son is lying here in pain while he just goes on living his life."

Marco nodded, leaning in conspiratorially. "I know some people who won't mind roughing him up. If that's what you want,

consider it done."

Florence's eyes gleamed. "That would be perfect. Force him to kneel in front of Jack and me. Let him kiss our feet."

A grin stretched across Jack's face, though the motion made him wince in pain.

"Marco, make sure they break a few of his bones. Let's see if he can still act tough after that."

Marco cackled maliciously. "Don't worry. By the time they're done, he'll be begging on all fours, drooling blood, and pleading for forgiveness. Can you picture him crawling over to lick your feet?" 1
