For a moment, the weight of her words hung heavy. Belief was dangerous in the Circle. But it was also fuel.

Steven finally looked up, his expression carved from steel.

“Let the Bureau be the first lesson,” he said. “But definitely not the last.”

And as the silver lamps burned low, President Kahuna swore silently to himself that he would not only lead the Black Ledger Circle.

He would become the shadow that swallowed the world.

Now that he has the power, he might as well make an impact until his Matron Elias Smith returns, but until then, he would lead the organisation to its full potential.

****

The chamber of the Black Ledger Circle was not made for ordinary men.

Polished obsidian walls curved around the long, crescent-shaped table, its surface with silver and gold etchings of the Circle’s crest.

The air carried a weight that seemed older than time itself, the weight of decisions that had toppled empires and created dynasties.

Tonight, every seat was filled. Cloak

  • CHAPTER 060

    The Milton estate was cloaked in silence that evening, there was tension thick and humming, as though the very walls of the house carried echoes of the argument earlier, it still lingered even though it was an hour ago. Harry Milton retreated to his study, drowning in thoughts that gnawed at his pride. Sarah, meanwhile, climbed the staircase with quiet determination, a bowl of warm water and a clean cloth in her hands. Her steps were measured and deliberate, the weight of both wife and mother pressing on her shoulders. She paused outside Jackson’s door, her heart tightening. When she finally pushed it open, she found her son sitting by the window, the lamp painting shadows across his face. His lip was swollen, bruised purple, and a thin trail of dried blood still on his chin. Yet his eyes, those defiant and stormy eyes still burned with the same fire that had provoked his father earlier. “Jackson,” Sarah whispered gently as she set the bowl on the nightstand. “Let

    The night felt heavier than usual. The Milton residence glowed with chandeliers, yet the atmosphere inside the grand sitting room was anything but warm and peaceful. Harry Milton stood by the fireplace, his jaw stiff, his eyes shadowed with the weight of an ultimatum. His trip to Alaska still burned in his bones months of frost, labor, and sacrifice, just to keep the Milton name anchored beside the Gulers. And now, with a single reckless obsession, his adopted son threatened to unravel everything. Sarah sat gracefully on the couch, her hand curled protectively around her teacup, eyes following her husband cautiously. Helen although worried, leaned against the polished chairs, her gaze darting between both parents and Jackson, she was sensing a storm. Jackson sat relaxed, almost smug, sprawled in the armchair opposite his father, as though he had already won some private war or knew why this family meeting was called in the first place. Harry’s voice was low at first

    Rowan watched through the glass, hands folded. Tabitha kept her tone steady, she was almost at the verge of losing it but she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing her break, “Who paid you?!” “*sighs* no mood for playing around I suppose, well then, a banker,” he said. “No name, no face. His voice was something like melting ice.” Tabitha’s eyes flicked, remembering Katrina Voss’s crisp vowels. She said nothing. “Did you alter our systems?” she asked. “I only taught a mirror how to reflect,” he said. “If you’re seeing something you don’t like, perhaps it’s you.” Tabitha leaned back. “You’re going to prison.” He stopped smiling. “No, I’m not.” She stood. “Yes, you are.” He fidgeted. “You don’t understand.” She looked at him for a time that made him feel like a small boy under a teacher’s gaze. “I understand perfectly.” When she left, he started to sweat. Herod Breech thought he was only there for questioning and that he would be left to go back, but now that

    In a dark room, a young man with ink on his fingers and no surname anyone could pronounce watched lines of code merge into a smile. He wore headphones, not for music, but to catch the tiny click his machine made when a loop closed. Luisa leaned over his shoulder. “You’ve been awake for thirty hours.” “I slept at nineteen and at twenty-one,” he said without turning. “President Kahuna said no candles. Only lamps.” She smiled despite herself, he had listened. He had always been a loyalist and Luisa intended to make him a personal bodyguard and right hand man to Steven after all this. Princewill isn't just a member of the Black Ledger Circle, he was very talented not just with computers but in combat. All this time, Luisa Payne, had just left him in front of the screens to do what he loved, because the former president, Elias Smith already had a trusted right hand man who was same age range with them. Seeing that the new president, was young. She felt, it would be bette

    “A client,” Steven said. “You do tasks, we protect you and in return, you move files, slow reports, adjust access. No one gets hurt because of a missed memo. But careers… shift.” Alistair’s mouth twitched. “You’re offering leverage.” “I’m offering an exit ramp,” Steven said. “With pay.” Margo glanced at Luisa. “And if we say no?” Luisa’s smile was the kind that understood fear. “Then the door opens, and you never remember we wanted anything.” Jonah looked at his hands. “And if we say yes?” Steven met his eyes, steady even human. “Then you become indispensable to yourself.” He didn’t threaten. He didn’t need to. He made the future feel heavier than the present. One by one, they nodded, the poison had begun to move into their bloodstream, gentle, tasteless, assured. As they were escorted out, Thiago’s cane tapped twice. “You risk much when you involve the fallible.” “Everyone is fallible,” he said. “The trick is to give their fall a direction.” Thiago’s eyes thinn

  • CHAPTER 055

    Dominion Intelligence Bureau (DIB)– Washington Heights, Safehouse. Which is located on the other side of the world. In a sterile office lined with glowing monitors, a DIB analyst frowned at his screen. “Director,” he called, waving a file. “Found something strange in Zurich accounts. Six hundred million shifted in micro-transactions. Doesn’t align with Treasury signatures.” The director, a man with weary eyes, leaned in. “Redirected where?” “Unknown… It's like it just disappeared mid-route, more like someone… swallowed it.” A sudden chill passed through the room. Elsewhere in the corner, a young clerk found her file access slowed, reports disappearing from her queue before she could even read them. Yet, another discovered that a superior’s private calls had been recorded and some whispered conversations were now mysteriously archived. The Bureau stirred uneasily, like an animal sensing a predator in the dark. It was as though something was targeting them, somethin
