CHAPTER 118
RYANI walked into the hospital with my chest tight, my thoughts already racing ahead of my steps. All I could think about was Seraphine. Whether she was safe. Whether she was hurt. Whether I was already too late.She had been through too much already. The hospital attack, the fear, the constant running. And now—another attack. The thought made my jaw tighten. This was never supposed to be her life.The smell of antiseptic hit me as soon as I entered. The hospital was crowded in a way that felt wrong. Too many people. Too much noise. Groans, hurried footsteps, doctors calling out instructions. I slowed down, scanning faces, noticing bandages, bloodstains, wheelchairs being rushed past.So many injured.My chest sank.This has to be from the attack.Anger stirred quietly inside me. Whoever did this didn’t care who got hurt. Innocent people always paid the price.I went straight to the receptionist desk. The nurse looked up, already stressed, fingers moving quickly over her keyboard.“I
CHAPTER 117
SERAPHINEI woke to the gentle roll of the car, the kind that feels like breathing steady, patient. For a second I didn’t know where I was. Then the weight of the hospital slipped off my chest all at once, like a coat I’d finally been allowed to remove.I turned my head toward the window and the sunlight found me, warm and honest, spilling across my face.I smiled before I could stop myself. I was out of the hospital, Finally out.My body still felt fragile, like glass that had survived a fall but remembered the impact. Yet there was relief in my bones. No beeping monitors and No white walls, Just morning light and the hum of the road.Julian was driving. His eyes stayed forward, focused, hands calm on the wheel.He looked the same as always composed, alert but there was something tired in the lines around his mouth.He broke the silence first.“Ryan asked me to take you out,” he said. “He knew you’d want to leave as soon as they cleared you.”I closed my eyes, letting the words s
CHAPTER 116
MARCOI stood where she told me to stand, close enough to hear her voice, far enough to remind me of my place.“You are going to stand here and be with me while I work,” Elizabeth said calmly, “You are close to Ryan, so Marco, I need you. If you behave well, you will see your son.”Her words were clean, Controlled and Carefully chosen. That was what made them dangerous.She sat there sipping her hot coffee, one leg crossed over the other, completely relaxed while my world burned.She talked about my child like he was a favor she could grant or withdraw. It was leverage to her, Like property.The stupid woman was giving me options, pretending this was some kind of negotiation. First, she told me I should help kidnap someone close to Ryan. Now standing beside her like a loyal servant, earning minutes with my own son.I clenched my jaw and said nothing.I wanted to tell. I wanted to jump across the table and grab her by the throat. But rage wouldn’t bring my boy back.Survival would.
CHAPTER 115
RYAN.I walked into my office, feeling drained and heavy from the meeting. My body ached, my mind was cluttered, but even in this exhaustion, I couldn’t allow myself a true break.Not yet. Still, a small part of me hoped this plan Julian had this counter-narrative, the one that finally might expose Elizabeth without risking Mary further would actually work.The thought gave me a fleeting sense of calm, though the violence and chaos we’d endured weighed heavily on meI hated it all. I hated myself for every fight, every calculated move, every moment I’d chosen vengeance over peace.I moved toward my desk, opening the top drawer and sorting files. These would go straight to the Meridian Oversight Group.Once they did their work, the press would release a controlled story one that would force Elizabeth into the open without compromising the secret of the Shadow HeirIt was precise, calculated and perfect. My hope was that Mary would still be alive by the time it all unfoldedAs I stepp
CHAPTER 114
RYANI sat down slowly, like my body needed the chair more than my mind didThe thought hit me again Shadow Heir and this time it didn’t pass. It stayed, it was Heavy and Unwanted.I never expected this. Not once. The past few months have been madness layered on madness. Since defeating Rachel, my life hasn’t slowed for even a breath.One fight bled into another. One crisis replaced the last, Some of it still lives in me, unhealed, replaying when I close my eyes. The screams, The blood, The choices I had to make too fast.Nexus Lab isn’t the same anymore, It used to be my refuge. My purpose, I miss standing over experiments, losing myself in problem-solving, knowing that what I was building could save lives. Now I barely step inside, there’s no time. Cassian eats every hour. Every decision. Every part of me. And the irony is bitter this empire meant to save people has pulled me away from actually helping them.Then there’s Jasmine, I miss her more than I allow myself to admit.
CHAPTER 113
RYANI forced myself to slow down.I needed calm and I needed control. Rage had taken too much from me already. Elizabeth would fall of that I was certain but not in chaos.her time would come, and when it did, it would be clean, final, and undeniable.with that thought anchoring me, I walked into the private zone of Cassian Hospital. The restricted wing, Quiet and Guarded a d also Safe. this was the one place the noise of war softened enough for me to breathe.I needed to see Seraphine, it had been too long since the attack, Too long since I last looked at her and knew she was truly alive.I stopped in front of her door and knocked lightly, voices answered from inside doctors, calm and professional. I stayed where I was, hands behind my back, waiting, no matter how badly I wanted to rush in, this moment wasn’t mine to interrupt.When the door opened slightly, I saw her.She looked weak, Tired in a way sleep couldn’t fix. like her strength had been pulled out of her piece by pi
