MY MOTHER'S SISTER -IN-LAW
Robert Wilson woke up three days later.Alex was there. He'd been splitting time between Leah's room and his father's. Barely sleeping. Barely eating.Robert's eyes opened slowly. Confused. Lost."Alex?" His voice was barely a whisper."I'm here," Alex said. He leaned forward."Don't try to talk. Save your strength.""No," Robert said. He gripped Alex's hand weakly. "Need to... tell you. Important.""Dad, please. Rest.""Catherine," Robert gasped. "She poisoned me. Knew I helped you. This was revenge.""We know," Alex said. "The police found evidence. They're hunting her now."Robert shook his head slightly. "Not just... revenge. She has bigger plans. Always did.""What plans?""Didn't just want... empire for money," Robert said. Each word was a struggle. "Wanted it because... she's my sister. Your aunt."Alex froze. "What?""Catherine Blackwood... is your aunt," Robert repeated. "My sister. Your mother's... sister-in-law."The words didn't make sense at first. Then they did. And Alex
LOSING YOU ISN'T WORTH IT
"No!" Alex screamed.He caught Leah as she collapsed. Her hand pressed against her side. Blood seeped between her fingers. Dark red. Too much.Marcus never got a second shot.Sarah's officers fired. Three shots. Bang. Bang. Bang. Marcus crumpled to the ground.His men were tackled. Handcuffed. Dragged away screaming.But Alex didn't see any of it. He only saw Leah."Stay with me," he begged. His hands pressed over hers. Trying to stop the bleeding. "Leah, please stay with me.""I'm okay," she gasped. Her face was pale. White. "I think. It hurts so much.""Ambulance!" Sarah shouted. She knelt beside them. "Two minutes out. Just hold on.""You're going to be fine," Alex said. He didn't know if he was talking to Leah or himself. "You're going to be fine. You're going to be fine."Leah's eyes started to close."No, no, no," Alex said. He touched her face with bloody hands. "Look at me. Keep your eyes open. Stay awake.""Tired," Leah mumbled. Her voice was getting weaker."I know. But y
HOW ROMANTIC! YOU'LL DIE TOGETHER
Alex and Leah ran to the car.The mansion's front gate was closed. Alex didn't slow down. He crashed through it. Wood splintered. Metal bent. Alarms screamed."How did they find out?" Leah asked. She looked behind them. No cars following yet. But they would be soon."I don't know," Alex said. He drove fast. Taking random turns. Making it hard to track them. "But it doesn't matter now. We go to Plan B."Plan B was a safe house across the city. A small apartment. Secure. Already stocked with supplies.Alex's phone rang. Sarah."Talk to me," Alex answered."Covenant hit three of our safe houses," Sarah reported. Her voice was tight. Scared. "They're hunting alliance members. We need to release everything now.""Do it," Alex ordered. "Release it all. Right now.""Are you sure? We're not fully ready—""Do it," Alex repeated. "We're out of time. It's now or never."He hung up and looked at Leah. "It's happening."She nodded. Scared but determined. "Then let's finish this."Within an hour
THE DEADLINE
The next morning, Alex drove to the Covenant estate.His hands were steady on the wheel. His face was calm. But inside, his heart raced.Security was even tighter than before. More guards. More checkpoints. The atmosphere was tense.They searched Alex three times. Checked his phone. His watch. Everything.Finally, they let him through.A guard led him to a small private room. Not the big council chamber. Somewhere more intimate. More dangerous.Catherine Blackwood sat alone at a small table. No other council members. Just her."Sit down, Mr. Wilson," she said. Her voice was smooth like honey. But her eyes were cold as ice.Alex sat. He kept his face blank. Gave nothing away.Catherine poured tea into two cups. Like they were having a friendly chat. "I trust you've had time to think about our offer.""The Hong Kong position," Alex said."Yes." Catherine studied him carefully. "Overseeing our Asian operations. It's a tremendous opportunity. Most people would be honored.""I understand t
FOURTEEN DAYS
Fourteen days until exposure.The alliance moved into high gear. Everyone had assignments. Everyone was busy.Senator Maria Rodriguez worked on securing safe houses. She used her political connections to arrange properties in six different states. Places where families could hide when everything went public."We need locations ready by next week," Maria explained at a meeting. "The moment we go public, people will need to disappear fast."Captain Sarah Harris prepared her police contacts. She had three departments ready to raid Covenant properties at the same time. Federal, state, and local working together."We hit them at dawn," Sarah said. "Thirty-two locations at once. They won't have time to destroy evidence."Daniel worked on the legal side. He drafted charges. Prepared warrants. Made sure everything would hold up in court."We can't give them any way out," Daniel said. He looked exhausted. Dark circles under his eyes. "Every charge has to be perfect."Thomas worked on his comp
WHAT KIND OF SITUATION?
After everyone left, Alex drove Leah home.They sat in his car outside her apartment. Neither wanted the night to end."I'm scared," Leah admitted. "Really scared.""Me too," Alex said."But we're doing the right thing. Right?""I think so," Alex replied. "I hope so."Leah took his hand. "Whatever happens, we face it together.""Together," Alex agreed.They sat in comfortable silence. Both thinking about what lay ahead.Alex's phone buzzed. He almost ignored it. But it might be important.Marcus Sterling.His good mood vanished. He answered. "What?""Mr. Wilson," Marcus said. His voice was ice cold. "We have a situation.""What kind of situation?""Someone in your organization has been stealing from us," Marcus said. "Money has gone missing. Small amounts at first. Now larger. We need you to find out who. You have forty-eight hours."Alex's blood went cold. "I don't know anything about this.""You're close to your employees," Marcus said. "You'll figure it out. Find the thief and deli
