CHAPTER 101
The world didn’t need to see Kahuna to fear him. He didn’t walk among men… he moved through whispers, codes, and signatures that toppled kingdoms and empires. When he wanted something done, it wasn’t his voice that was heard. It was the echo that followed. He had left Washington Heights without a word. No entourage, no headlines… just a decision. For months, the city had been heavy with noise, whispers of investigations, political tremors, and the quiet hum of the Circle’s unfinished business. Kahuna needed distance. Not escape, men like him didn’t run how could they? So, he chose Dubai. A city built from sand and ambition. Where gold brushed against glass, and silence could cost more than a man’s life. Here, in a high-rise that kissed the desert’s horizon, Kahuna found the kind of peace only power could buy. He sat behind a black desk, sleek and unadorned. No guards. No secretary, only a single device that glowed faintly before him, a private comm-line linked to the
CHAPTER 102
Thiago’s silence was answer enough. “The Circle.” Emiliano spat the name like venom. “You called him for me.” Thiago didn’t deny it. “It was the only way.” “Do you even hear yourself?” Emiliano’s voice rose, trembling with rage. “You went to those monster! Do you know what kind of debt you’ve put us in?” Thiago’s eyes flashed. “I know exactly what kind of debt. I’ve paid worse to keep this family breathing.” Raphael spoke softly from the corner. “He saved you, Emiliano. That’s all that matters.” Emiliano ran a hand through his hair, frustration spilling out. “Maybe I didn’t want saving. Maybe I wanted to stand on my own for once.” Thiago stepped closer, his tone controlled but sharp. “Then learn how to stand without falling.” The room fell into heavy silence. Only the sound of rain outside filled the space between them. Finally, Thiago exhaled and said quietly, “You’re my blood, Emiliano. You have your mother’s fire, but you must learn to control it. The world doesn’
CHAPTER 103
As the screen went dark, there was a cold, flickering void that swallowed both power and pride. Kahuna stared at the reflection of his own face in the black glass for a long while and his expression was unreadable. The edges of his patience were quite sharp that evening. He set the glass down quietly. He didn’t like being challenged, one bit not by Thiago, not by anyone. And yet, there was something about the older man ever since he stepped foot on the Black Ledger Circle’s territory, something unbreakable still smoldering beneath the surface. Kahuna had seen it before, in people, in kings who refused to bow. But Thiago’s resistance wasn’t for pride… It was for blood and family. That made him very dangerous. A notification blinked on the edge of the desk; it was a coded signal. He tapped it open. Cipher; Operation Perros finalized, there were no casualties, no Ledger cleared. His response; Maintain surveillance on Andreas' family. He paused before sendi
CHAPTER 104
The sea was gray and endless, carrying with it the kind of wind that whispered of things buried too deep to name. The rain came slowly and deliberately like it had nowhere else to fall. Raphael Andreas stood at the edge of the dock, coat flapping in the wind, eyes locked on the lonely island ahead. It had no name on the map... not anymore. To the world, it was an abandoned property under a forgotten registry. But Raphael knew better. Some ghosts didn’t haunt; they hid. The boatman said nothing as they reached the pier. It looked lifeless, but he knew someone waited there. Someone he shouldn’t be meeting. Raphael handed him a wad of cash and a warning look. The boatman gave him a wary glance. “No one lives there anymore,” he muttered. “Someone does!” Raphael uttered sternly. The old sailor nodded once and turned his gaze away. He had ferried enough dangerous men to know when not to remember faces. Men like Raphael didn’t need their names or faces rememb
CHAPTER 105
Raphael’s hands tightened on the armrest. “You knew this would happen.” Elias met his gaze. “I did, the Circle doesn’t forgive refusal. It only delays revenge.” They sat in silence for a long while, the storm outside echoing the tension inside. Finally, Raphael asked, “Why tell me all this now? You could’ve stayed hidden.” Elias smiled faintly. “Because you’ve already chosen your side. You protected me once without knowing why. Now you’ll have to do it again… but this time, you’ll understand the cost.” Raphael’s voice hardened. “And if Kahuna finds out you’re alive?” “Then he’ll come,” Elias said calmly. “And when he does, he’ll burn everything in his path, including your father.” Raphael stood, pacing slowly toward the window. The rain streaked the glass like veins. “Then please for my sake, stop him before that happens.” Elias chuckled, a sound both proud and sad. “You sound like Thiago when he was your age… fearless, impossible, doomed to care too much.” “I’m not my fathe
CHAPTER 106
“That’s exactly the problem,” Kahuna said. “Sometimes I wish I wasn’t.” Princewill’s tone softened. “That’s not happening. You took the chair, Kahuna. You don’t get to step out of it when it gets heavy.” Kahuna’s voice dropped. “I didn’t take it for glory. I took it to fix what was broken.” “And you are,” Princewill said. “But you can’t fix anything if you vanish.” Kahuna turned his gaze to the window, city lights flickering in his reflection. “Do you ever wish things were different, Princewill?” “Every day,” Princewill replied. “But wishing doesn’t change what we are.” Kahuna let out a quiet breath. “You sound like my conscience.” Princewill gave a half-smile. “That’s because I am.” Kahuna chuckled softly — the first real smile since stepping off the jet. “Annoying, but true.” Princewill leaned back. “Good. You still remember how to laugh.” “Barely,” Kahuna said. Princewill looked at him for a moment, the tension easing. “Next time, you tell me before you disa
CHAPTER 107
Princewill crossed his arms. “Then maybe you should redefine peace.” Kahuna looked at him. “And how would you define it?” Princewill thought for a moment. “Peace is when you can sit in silence and know the person beside you won’t stab you in the back.” Kahuna smiled faintly. “Then I guess I have peace right now.” Princewill grinned. “Good. Try not to lose it again.” Kahuna laughed softly. “Mostly you.” Princewill chuckled. “I’ll take that.” The laughter faded into a comfortable quiet. The night outside the window was deep and calm, the city glowing beneath them like a living thing. Princewill finally stood. “I’ll post guards outside. Get some rest, Kahuna.” Kahuna looked up. “Prince?.” Princewill turned. “Yeah?” “Thank you,” Kahuna said simply. “For not giving up on me.” Princewill smiled. “You are welcome and that is what, brothers are for, just don’t disappear again.” Kahuna gave a faint nod. “I’ll try.” Princewill started toward the door. “Try harder.”
CHAPTER 108
The smell of stew began to fill the room — onions, spice, the kind of scent that felt like belonging. “Eat,” Joanne said softly. “You look thinner than last week.” “I’m not dying yet,” Elias teased. She smiled, shaking her head. “You’ve been hiding long enough, Elias. When will you return?” He was quiet for a long while before he answered. “When the time is right. When the Circle begins to eat itself, because I know it will.” Joanne frowned. “You think that’s coming anytime soon?” Elias looked out into the deepening dusk. “Power never stays pure. Kahuna is brilliant, but brilliance burns. I only hope he remembers the light I gave him before the darkness consumes him entirely.” She didn’t argue, she had seen what that kind of world did to men. After a while, she said softly, “And Raphael? Will you tell him the rest?” Elias shook his head. “Not yet. He carries too much already. But he will have a part to play when the circle tightens again. Whether he wants to or n
CHAPTER 109
Doyle’s voice didn’t waver. “And yet Mr. Princewill insists. KE does not move by haste, only by design.” Harry frowned. “So we came all this way for a message?” “Yes,” Doyle replied smoothly. “A message, and perhaps… a reminder.” He leaned in slightly, lowering his voice. “In this building, power doesn’t chase, it chooses when to receive.” Helen inhaled sharply, masking her irritation with a thin smile. “Tell Mr. Princewill that the Miltons are not accustomed to being kept waiting.” Doyle gave a courteous bow. “And yet, Mrs. Milton, you will have to wait eventually, because everyone does.” He turned and walked away without another word. For a moment, the silence between Helen and Harry was deafening. They were so upset but kept it hidden with their head held high. When they exited the building, Harry exhaled heavily. “He played us, he took us for pawns!” Helen’s eyes remained fixed on the structure behind them, the glimmering mirror of their own frustration. “No,” sh
CHAPTER 110
Helen’s tone softened. “We’ll be careful, Mother.” Harry’s eyes, old but still fierce, fixed on Helen. “And if he disrespects this family again?” Helen looked toward the window, where the city lights shimmered in the distance — Riverage glowing like a restless dream. She spoke quietly, almost to herself. “Then he’ll learn the Miltons don’t bow twice.” The silence that followed was long and heavy. Jackson finished his drink, placed it on the counter, and said lightly, “Thursday it is, then. Let’s see if the king grants us an audience.” ***** Somewhere in the distance, the tower of KE Headquarters stood untouched, its windows dark and unbothered. Inside that tower, a light flickered on in Princewill’s office. He already knew they would return, they were desperate indeed and just like Kahuna' himself has predicted, they will come. All he had to do was wait. Well, he didn't have to wait for long. The very next Thursday afternoon arrived faster than expected. The Milton car
