Chapter 181: Breaking Point
Elena sent the message with shaking fingers.She didn’t use her name. She didn’t even use her usual phone. Everything about the contact was stripped bare, reduced to a single encrypted channel she had memorised weeks ago but never dared to touch. Now, crouched in a cramped apartment she no longer felt safe in, she typed carefully, pausing after every sentence as if the words themselves could betray her."I have information about the Syndicate. About the hostage. About Tiana. I will trade it for protection."She stared at the screen for several seconds before pressing send.The moment it left her phone, fear hit her like a wave. There was no undoing it. If this was a trap, she was dead. If it wasn’t, she was still standing on the edge of something that could ruin her completely. Elena hugged her knees to her chest, rocking slightly as she waited.Across the city, Mira’s phone vibrated.She read the message once. Then again.Her face hardened instinctively. Anonymous offers always c
Chapter 182: Confessions
Tiana woke up to darkness and pain.Her wrists were bound to the cold metal arms of a chair, her head throbbing from the blow that had knocked her unconscious. The room smelled of damp concrete and disinfectant, sterile and unforgiving. A single bulb hung from the ceiling, casting harsh light that left nowhere to hide.She didn’t need to ask where she was.The Syndicate never wasted time with theatrics. This chamber existed for one purpose alone.The door opened quietly.Three figures stepped inside. None of them rushed. None of them spoke immediately. Their silence was worse than shouting. Tiana’s pulse raced as she lifted her head, her mouth dry, her mind scrambling for a way out that did not exist.“We know everything,” one of them said at last.Tiana let out a shaky laugh. “You always say that.”A screen flickered to life on the wall behind them.Her breath caught.Video footage filled the screen—grainy but unmistakable. Her face. Her voice. Meetings she had sworn were private.
Chapter 183: Truths That Cut Deep
Suspicion did not knock politely. It crashed into the room with force.Aisha waited until Jalen stepped out briefly to speak with one of the men assembling downstairs. The moment the door closed, she turned to Mira, her hands clenched tightly at her sides. Her heart was pounding so loudly she was sure Mira could hear it.“We need to talk,” Aisha said, her voice steady but cold.Mira looked up from the tablet in her hands, immediately alert. “This isn’t the time.”“It’s exactly the time,” Aisha replied. “Before any more lies get people killed.”Mira’s eyes narrowed slightly. “What did you find?”Aisha swallowed, forcing herself not to look away. “Your real name. Your old operations. Your connection to the same network that destroyed Jalen’s father.”Silence dropped heavily between them.For a brief moment, Mira said nothing. Then she slowly set the tablet down and stood. “How much do you think you know?”“Enough to realise you didn’t just appear out of nowhere to save Jalen,” Aisha sh
Chapter 184: The End
The empty chair burned itself into Jalen’s mind as he pushed deeper into the Syndicate facility. Every corridor he passed confirmed the same terrible truth, the kidnapping had never been the destination. It was bait. A distraction carefully designed to pull him in, scatter his focus, and blind him to something far more dangerous unfolding elsewhere.“This was never just about the hostage,” Jalen said through clenched teeth as debris rained from the ceiling. “They wanted us here.”Mira’s voice crackled through the comms. “You’re right. I’m seeing activity on the corporate servers—heavy manipulation. Forged audit trails, false board resolutions, internal approvals that never happened. They’re executing a hostile takeover while you’re underground.”Jalen’s chest tightened. “Adesins Corp.”“They planned to strip it bare,” Mira replied. “And pin the entire collapse on you.”Gunfire echoed nearby. Jalen pressed forward, instinct driving him now. Somewhere in this place, someone was still
