CHAPTER 128: THE DIRECTIVE
Rain lashed against the helipad as the chopper blades thundered overhead, slicing the night apart. The storm had returned in full force wild, electric, and merciless just like the chaos brewing inside Raymond Elba’s mind.He stood at the edge of the rooftop, wind clawing at his jacket, eyes fixed on the horizon. Below the city glowed like circuitry alive, but poisoned. Ayla shouted over the roar, “We need to move Raymond! The entire building’s compromised!”He didn’t turn. “They’ll come no matter where we go. You saw the alert, The Directive is active.”Ayla: “Then we stay ahead of it! We fight it from the outside, not the inside of a burning tower!”He finally faced her, rain streaking across his face. “You don’t understand, The Directive isn’t just a mission. It’s a command buried in every system my father ever built including me.”The words hit her like a punch. “What do you mean buried in you?”His voice dropped, low, steady, almost resigned. “When Elias designed me, he didn’t jus
CHAPTER 127: FRACTURED SOUL
Lightning fractured the sky, slicing through the clouds like a blade of divine judgment. The storm outside the tower hadn’t truly ended it had only gone quiet, waiting.Inside the shattered vault, smoke hung thick as fog. Metal groaned under the weight of devastation, glass shards glittered across the floor, and the faint hum of still-active machinery trembled in the air.Ayla pushed herself upright, clutching her chest as she coughed out chemical residue. Her eyes darted through the haze until they landed on the figure standing amid the wreckage broad-shouldered, motionless, terrifyingly still.“Raymond…” she whispered. He didn’t answer, the flickering light revealed his face half of it bruised and bloodied, the other half illuminated by a faint, unnatural glow beneath his skin. His pupils pulsed faint blue.Ayla: “Talk to me please.”He turned, slow and deliberate, like something ancient remembering how to move. His voice came out low, hollow, distorted.Raymond/Elias: “He’s still i
CHAPTER 126: BLOODLINE AWAKENING
The silence in the penthouse was suffocating. Only the rain dared to make a sound, drumming relentlessly against the glass like a thousand tiny heartbeats. The city outside lay swallowed by darkness power cut, skyline gone.Inside, Raymond stood perfectly still. The glowing red message on every screen WELCOME HOME, RAYMOND ELBA burned in his eyes like an accusation. Ayla’s voice trembled as she whispered, “Raymond tell me that’s a mistake, please tell me it’s some kind of sick joke.”He didn’t answer, his hands clenched at his sides, the veins on his forearms standing out like cords of steel. His breathing was calm too calm.Ayla: “Raymond?” He turned to face her slowly, his eyes stripped of their usual control. “You saw the message, you heard the voice. The man behind everything Elias Kane isn’t just the architect of my destruction, he’s my father.”Ayla shook her head. “That can’t be true you would’ve known. There would’ve been”Raymond (cutting in): “Records, Memories, He erased th
CHAPTER 125: THE PRICE OF VENGEANCE
The wind outside the penthouse howled like an omen. Lightning cracked across the midnight sky, casting brief silver flashes over the skyline of the city that never slept. Inside, silence reigned heavy, suffocating, and brittle.Raymond stood before the panoramic glass, hands in his pockets, his reflection ghosting over the glittering expanse of towers below. Behind him, Ayla entered quietly, clutching a thin folder to her chest.Her steps faltered when she saw the darkness in his posture that lethal stillness he wore like armor.Ayla: “It’s done. The Board voted unanimously. You own everything now the shares, the assets, the patents. You’ve taken everything from them.”Raymond didn’t turn, his voice, low and steady, rolled through the room like distant thunder.Raymond: “Everything? No, not yet.”Ayla blinked. “What do you mean not yet? Robert Elba fled the country. His accounts are frozen, his empire’s gone.”He turned then slowly, his sharp eyes glinting like glass on the edge of
CHAPTER 124 – THE ASHES SPEAK
Smoke burned his lungs as Redington clawed his way out from under the debris. Every breath tasted like metal and fire. His ears rang, his skin was cut open in half a dozen places, but somehow he was alive.The vault behind him was a furnace. Steel warped and groaned under the heat, walls collapsing inward like the dying heart of a beast. The air shimmered, red and toxic.Redington coughed violently and staggered to his feet, vision swimming. The detonator’s echo still screamed in his skull. He could barely hear his own thoughts through the roar of the flames. But amid the destruction, something blinked.A faint blue pulse on the far side of the vault, Redington’s eyes widened. “The backup drive” He sprinted, stumbling over rubble, smoke blinding his eyes. The flames licked at his sleeves as he smashed through fallen beams.His hand shot forward, fingers closing around a half-melted metal case just as the vault door caved in behind him with a deafening crash. He fell to his knees, clut
CHAPTER 123 – THE FACE IN THE DARK
The silence that followed was almost unbearable. No hum, no light, no sound except that voice, deep and calm echoing through the pitch-dark chamber “Robert”.Redington’s grip tightened around his gun, pulse hammering. He pivoted slowly, eyes searching for movement, but the darkness swallowed everything. “Show yourself,” he said, voice low, controlled, though his chest heaved.A flicker of light cracked across the vault pale blue, trembling, bleeding from a flickering monitor on the far wall. The glow revealed the faint outline of the vault’s contents: files, steel shelves, and Victor Hale slumped against the wall, blood pooling beneath him.But the voice It wasn’t coming from Victor. “I told you not to come here son.” Redington’s breath hitched. He lowered the gun slightly, heart pounding so violently it hurt.“No” He shook his head. “This is another one of Hale’s tricks. You’re dead, you’ve been dead for twenty years.” A faint hum then another flicker of light. The blue monitor brigh
