Michaels face darkened further , his rage building like storm waves , each one crashing harder than the last .

He felt trapped .

Troy was his man , and the deal with Ruby was his decision .

Now , with such a colossal mistake , he could already imagine the backlash from the Rhodes familys upper ranks .

The humiliation would shatter any dreams he had of becoming the family head .

Worse , he would be remembered as the one who brought disgrace and ruin to the company .

With a growl , he lunged at him , unleashing a brutal flurry of punches and kicks , each strike aimed at Troys face and head .

If Troy died here , it would not just ruin his career it would destroy his life , On the floor , Troy lay curled up in a pitiful heap , barely conscious and covered in blood .

He could not even muster the strength to speak .

Andrew grimaced at the sight , muttering under his breath .

He turned to Eunice and instructed her to bring the first aid kit .

Once it arrived , he crouched beside Troy and began treating his injuries with practiced precision .

Afterward , Andrew scribbled down a prescription and handed it to him .
