"Tony..." Pepper cried out, her voice trembling as her eyes locked onto the smoking ruins of the once-grand villa.
The sleek car's roof slid open with a mechanical hiss. A shadow dropped from the sky—William landed smoothly in the passenger seat, a smug grin on his face. "Easy now, sweetheart. No need to get all emotional."
Pepper's hands clenched in fury as she leaned forward from the back seat. "William, you will regret this. Someone out there will stop you. They'll rip you apart and scatter your pieces like ashes in the wind!"
William casually picked at his ear, utterly unbothered. "You know, I've heard that kind of promise a lot over the years. You'd be amazed how often men say things like that. Funny thing is, they're all buried six feet under now. As for the women..."

William raised one hand solemnly, his expression mock-serious. "Listen, I swear—no more of that. Not this time. I've matured. F*rc¡ng women? There will be no more r@p£s this time. That's primitive, traumatic... an unforgivable offense to both body and soul."
"You have zero credibility when you say that," Ada replied flatly, rolling her eyes.
Pepper fixed William with a steely glare. "Why Tony? Why are you doing all this? What's your endgame?"
