CHAPTER 171
LEONARD'S POVBy the time my SUV finally rolled through the gates of my mansion, the night had grown unusually quiet. I switched off the engine and remained seated for a brief moment, taking a slow breath before looking toward the frail old man beside me. The security guard stationed at the front gate had already noticed my arrival. The moment he saw that I had someone with me who appeared to be in terrible condition, he hurried across the driveway without wasting a second. Concern was written all over his face as he stopped beside my vehicle."Good evening, Boss," he greeted respectfully before leaning slightly toward the window. "Is everything alright?"I nodded calmly before opening the rear passenger door."I'm fine," I replied. "But this gentleman needs some assistance."The guard immediately looked toward the elderly man sitting weakly inside the SUV. His expression became even more serious."Would you like me to help him inside?" he asked without hesitation."Yes," I answered.
CHAPTER 170
SONIA'S POVI remained seated on the floor for several more moments, my mind racing endlessly as I tried to think of some way to pull our family out of the disaster we had fallen into. My parents continued watching me quietly, neither of them speaking as they waited for me to calm down. Suddenly, a thought flashed across my mind. My eyes lit up almost immediately, and I quickly looked at both of them. "I have an idea," I announced, my voice filled with confidence that had been absent only moments ago.My parents immediately reacted to my words. My father, who had been standing near the window, walked back toward the bed, while my mother adjusted herself beside him. They both sat down on the edge of my bed and looked at me expectantly. Their worried expressions remained, but I could see a flicker of hope appearing in their eyes. My father leaned forward slightly before speaking. "We're listening," he said. "Tell us what you're thinking." My mother nodded in agreement. "If you've th
CHAPTER 169
SONIA'S POVI sat on the cold floor of my bedroom with my back pressed tightly against the wall. My knees were drawn up to my chest, but even that position did nothing to calm the storm raging inside me. My mind felt as though it was about to explode. Every humiliating event of the past few days replayed over and over inside my head until I could no longer bear it. Frustration consumed me completely, and before I even realized what I was doing, I buried both hands in my hair and pulled at it with all my strength."Ahhh!"A loud scream escaped my lips, echoing throughout the mansion.The bedroom door flew open almost immediately.My mother rushed inside first, her face filled with alarm, while my father hurried in right behind her. The moment they saw me sitting on the floor in such a miserable state, both of them stopped in their tracks."Sonia!" my mother cried as she hurried toward me. "What happened?"She knelt beside me and reached for my shoulders, her eyes filled with concern.
CHAPTER 168
LEONARD'S POVMy fists clenched so tightly that my knuckles had turned completely white. They intended to turn every person I cared about into a weapon against me. My jaw tightened."They're even more dangerous than I thought," I muttered silently.Inside the room, the woman gave one final glance toward the old man before she bent over and began packing the syringes, medical instruments, and several small metal cases they had brought with them. Around her, the other agents also started gathering their equipment. It was obvious that whatever they had come to do for today had already been completed.One of the men walked toward the back of the room and reached for the window.My eyes narrowed immediately.Without hesitation, he pulled the damaged window shut before sliding a heavy metal latch into place from the inside. The small opening through which I had been spying disappeared completely.I immediately stepped backward, making sure my footsteps remained completely silent."They're
CHAPTER 167
LEONARD'S POVMy mind was still trying to make sense of everything I had heard about the Awakened when the woman spoke again, and the confidence in her voice immediately drew my full attention.She folded her arms across her chest and looked down at the old man with a smug expression. "You know," she said calmly, "despite all the resources our organization devoted to hunting Henry Blake, we repeatedly failed to capture him. Every operation ended the same way. He slipped through our fingers." She shook her head with visible annoyance before a slow smile appeared on her face. "Eventually, our superiors reached a very important conclusion. Continuing to chase him the way we had been doing was a complete waste of time."One of the men standing beside her nodded in agreement."So," the woman continued, "we changed our strategy entirely. We no longer intend to hunt Henry Blake through brute force. Instead..." She smiled confidently. "We're preparing something much bigger. Henry Blake, now k
CHAPTER 166
LEONARD'S POVMy heart pounded heavily against my chest as memories I had tried to bury came rushing back into my mind. For a brief moment, I closed my eyes and steadied my breathing, reminding myself that I couldn't afford to lose my composure now. If I made even the slightest mistake, I would end up exactly where that old man was sitting.I slowly shook my head as a bitter smile appeared on my face."So they really haven't stopped searching for me," I whispered to myself.My fingers unconsciously brushed against the ancient ring resting on my finger. I could still remember the day they captured me. If it hadn't been for the extraordinary healing abilities my own power granted me, I would never have survived that encounter. "I came far too close that day," I murmured.Taking another careful breath, I pushed those memories aside and focused my attention on the conversation happening inside the building. Every word these people spoke might reveal something that could help me understa
