Chapter 33- Part of the plan
The gate groaned shut behind him.The armed guards didn’t follow. They didn’t need to. Inside the Glass House, there was no running, no escape. Only truth — and whatever pain came with it.Elijah stepped across the floor of the hall, The chandelier overhead sparkled.He knew the house. He remembered every inch. Every lie.He climbed the stairs two at a time.The guards had already radioed ahead. He wasn’t stopped.At the end of the hallway, two oak doors stood, slightly ajar.He didn’t knock.He burst in.And there he was.Joshua Quinn.Sitting behind a massive desk, his black robe falling from his shoulders. Eyes cold. Calm.As if he’d been waiting.“Elijah,” he said with a small smile. “You’ve finally arrived.”Elijah didn’t answer.Didn’t speak.He crossed the room in three strides and grabbed his father by the collar, dragging him from the chair like a bag of bones.Joshua didn’t resist. He merely raised an eyebrow, still smiling. “There it is,” he whispered. “That anger.”Elijah
Chapter 32- A little father and son time 1
The sky was bleeding orange as the evening sun dipped below the edge of the city. Valeria stepped out of the car, her heels tapping softly against the steps of the Quinn estate. Her pulse hadn't calmed since the van ride, and Joshua’s words still echoed in her skull."You want to enjoy with the king? Then you must suffer like one."She paused at the tall double doors, exhaled, and forced composure onto her face. Calm. Controlled. Quiet.The door swung open before she even touched the handle.And there he was.Elijah.Standing in the foyer with his arms folded, muscles taut beneath his black dress shirt, jaw sharp.“Where were you?” His voice was deep, unreadable, but the frown on his face spoke louder than words. “You didn’t show up at work.”Valeria froze mid-step.She couldn’t let him know. Not now. Not until she understood whose side Joshua truly stood on.She tilted her head, offering a soft, neutral smile —“I paid a visit to someone. Outside the city.”Elijah’s brows twitched.
Chapter 31- The game has a master
Elijah exhaled sharply, veins popping as he pushed the last rep of the dumbbell. His muscles flexed with tension, sweat dripping from his temples. After the fourth lift, he let the weight fall onto the mat with a thud, chest rising and falling like waves during a storm.The door creaked.Anna stepped in.Black heels. Grey suit."Sir…" Her voice trembled slightly. "I got something. But it wasn’t cheap."Elijah grabbed a towel and wiped his face, not taking his eyes off her."Talk."Anna hesitated, then took a shaky breath. "I had to let go of fifty million dollars.""To who?""A double agent. Said it was the only way. He knew who sent the blackmail." She looked down. “And more.”Elijah walked up to her, towel slung around his neck. His towering frame shadowed her."And?"Anna looked like she was choking on her own thoughts. Her lips parted as if to say the name—Valeria’s hands hovered nervously over the keyboard. The dull hum of old desktop fans filled the space. She glanced around t

Instead, he pulled something from his pocket—discharge documents, folded neatly. He set them on the table beside her bed. “I’ve settled everything,” he said. “The bills. The paperwork. Once the doctor clears you, you’re going home.” She stared at the wall, trying not to let him see the way her eyes burned. Elijah paused at the door. “For your own sake, Valeria… stop chasing ghosts.” Then he left. The door clicked shut behind him, leaving Valeria with the hum of machines—and the cold realization that while Elijah’s mouth said one thing… The hallway outside Valeria’s room was long and quiet, lined with lights and the soft buzz of machines echoing behind closed doors. Elijah walked , every step echoing against the tiles, the hem of his coat brushing against his legs. His jaw was set, his eyes forward, but something tight lingered in the way his hand curled into a fist. His phone buzzed. Sienna. He answered without slowing down. “Talk to me.” Sienna’s voice came
