057 Fifty-Eight Seconds
"Checkpoint South, respond immediately! Confirm the Selena Hart convoy has NOT been touched!"The radio on Brakus's shoulder shrieked with static and a voice that drained the color from his face in a single second. Colonel Dray Vance. Garrison command.He fumbled the handset to his mouth. "Colonel, sir—we were conducting a routine inspection—""An inspection?!" The voice rose to a bellow that echoed off the blast walls. "You dim-witted, gold-skimming disgrace of an officer! That convoy travels under the Mayoress's personal protection! Lady Morgana's own son and daughter are Miss Hart's biggest fans in the world—the young lord Kaiser has attended every livestream she has ever done!""If so much as a suitcase in that convoy is scratched, Her Excellency will have your skin flying from that gate as a flag, and mine hanging right beside it!""Now escort them into the city with full honors! The Mayoress requests Miss Hart's presence at the Obsidian Palace for a private audience, so that her
056 The Gates of Sparta
The tour bus rolled through gray hills in the early light of dawn, and Sparta City rose out of the mist ahead of them like a fortress that was only pretending to be a city.Watchtowers stood along the ridgelines. Anti-air batteries had been dressed up as public sculptures, though they fooled no one who knew what to look for. And around the whole metropolis ran a wall that had no business existing in the modern world.Jack studied it all through the tinted glass from the last row of Selena's private cabin — at least until a familiar weight landed softly in his lap.Selena had crawled across the seat and deposited herself against him, legs folded beneath her, the silk robe she wore doing the absolute minimum required of it. She smelled like vanilla and expensive trouble."Chief of my security," she purred, walking two fingers slowly up his chest. "Do you have any idea how long I've waited to have you contractually obligated to stay within ten feet of me at all times?""Within reach of y
055 The Midnight Guest
Selena Hart was in the middle of getting ready for her midnight concert in Redmont City when a stranger arrived at her trailer door.The night air outside buzzed with energy from the growing crowd, and the moment he stepped up, cameras flashed in a sudden storm of light.Paparazzi shouted questions while fans pressed closer, their voices rising in a mix of excitement and speculation.Did Selena finally have a boyfriend? Was this the secret romance everyone had been waiting for?The trailer sat parked behind the venue, its lights casting a warm glow across the dark parking lot, where eager onlookers craned their necks for a better view of the unfolding scene.It was none other than Jack Hardy. He didn't bother to answer any of the questions. He simply knocked on Selena's door, his expression calm despite the commotion building behind him.The pop celebrity opened it just a crack at first, her face half-hidden in the dim light of the trailer. When she saw him standing there, her eyes wi
054 The Scepter
The chopper touched down on the soft sand near Palmgrove Resort's private beach, its rotors kicking up a swirl of salt and sea spray before settling into silence. Jack stepped out without hesitation, and he made straight for the outdoor shower station tucked between the dunes and the resort's edge. Blood, sand, and dried salt crusted his skin from the earlier confrontation with Bowman's army, and he needed it gone before going to his wife. He stripped off his shirt and stepped under the cool spray, letting the water sluice away the remnants of violence. Valentina followed him without a word, her steps light on the sand as she entered the same open shower area. She peeled off her torn green dress in one fluid motion, letting it drop to the ground before stepping fully naked under the adjacent spray. Water washed over her curves, tracing paths along her full breasts and the smooth line of her hips, her body a study in raw, erotic power that would have driven most men to distraction.
053 The Honeymoon
Palmgrove Resort stood as one of the most lavish escapes on earth, a place where couples came to lose themselves in luxury amid swaying palms and endless ocean views. Juliet arrived first by private jet that touched down smoothly on a private airstrip, then transferred to a sleek limousine that glided along winding roads lined with tropical trees. An all-female team of guards shadowed her, ensuring no one came too close as the vehicle finally pulled through the grand gates. Juliet couldn't wrap her head around how Jack had pulled this off. Maybe he had called in old military favors, pulling strings from his past to get the jet, the limo, the entire setup without paying a cent. It would explain so much, including how her broke husband kept going despite having no steady job. The thought nagged at her as the car glided up the resort's palm-lined drive, but she pushed it aside for now, focusing instead on the beauty and splendor unfolding around her. At the entrance, the resort staff
052 The Reckoning
On the deck of Bowman's vessel, the men stationed at the torpedo controllers worked rapidly. They locked the weapons onto one of the two helpless Forbes cargo ships drifting nearby. They triggered the launch. Boom! The torpedo burst free with a deep whoosh, slicing through the water like a living predator, its path marked by rising bubbles as it homed in on its target. Bowman stood near his throne, his laughter ringing out harsh and loud across the deck. He fixed his eyes on Jack with a twisted sort of glee, finally feeling in control again. "Whatever tricks you used to stop that rocket won't save these people out here! All that cargo your wife cares so much about is about to disappear under the waves. Millions of dollars and hundreds of lives! You're the one who let this happen!" His voice grew louder, feeding on the panic visible on the distant ships where the Forbes crews were shouting and scrambling. Some of them, faces pale with raw fear, threw themselves overboard into the c
