Chapter 54 The Confrontation

• Jayden's office was a monument to his massive ego. The walls were covered with awards, shiny trophies, and framed articles, each one a testament to a success that Leo knew was built on lies. Jayden sat behind a huge mahogany desk, a smug smile on his face as he watched Leo walk in. Elena stood to the side, her arms crossed, a silent guard with a very serious expression.
• "Well, well," Jayden said slowly, leaning back in his leather chair. "Look who it is. My little brother Leo. Last time I saw you, you were on your knees crying. I thought you'd be a little more... upset. Where's the big dramatic entrance? No police with you? I'm disappointed."
• Leo closed the door behind him with a soft click that sounded like a trap snapping shut. He didn't answer right away. He just stood there, a quiet, dangerous presence that seemed to fill the room.
