Chapter 302: The Badge of A Skull!
After dropping the call with James, Andrew decided to return home as it was obvious that James was done with Jackson, and there was nothing he’d say to him at that point that could change his mind.He had been with James long enough to know that despite being the carefree and loud one, when he decides to give up on something, there is hardly any amount of talking that can change his mind.And Andrew knew he couldn’t blame James either—especially not after everything they’ve been through because of Jackson. But as Hailey walked him back to his car that night, Andrew could tell from the way she folded her arms and avoided his eyes that something was bothering her.He paused beside the car door, his gaze fixed on her as though trying to find out what was bothering her from the looks on her face. “Hailey,” he said softly, “You look like someone with a thousand thoughts fighting for space in your head. What’s going on?”Hailey shook her head quickly, forcing a weak smile. “It’s nothing,
Chapter 301: Jackson’s Decision; His Consequences!
James was lying stretched on a lounge chair with a faint smile tugging at his lips as he watched Nancy splash playfully in the water a few meters away, her laughter carrying over the breeze. Not in his wildest dreams had he thought that a day would come when Nancy would officially be his girlfriend, but here they are, already two months into the relationship. He could remember how it felt like his feelings for her would never be reciprocated until Andrew gave him the courage to go ahead and ask her out. He had told her that it was better he made his feelings known to her and be turned down than not try at all.That singular piece of advice from Andrew had changed the tides, as it turned out that Nancy had been waiting for him to make his feelings known, and the moment he did, Nancy agreed to be his girlfriend.Now, seeing her playfully splashing the water and laughing made him feel like not taking his eyes off her for any reason. There was this peace that her presence had brought in
Chapter 300: Don Lewis’ Manipulation!
“News?” Samantha repeated, her voice flat, though her pulse quickened. “What news are you talking about?”Don Lewis gave a soft, almost amused chuckle. “Oh, come now, Samantha. Don’t act difficult. You always were the stubborn one. I’m talking about Jackson, of course. Or haven’t you realized how deep he’s gotten himself this time?”Samantha wasn’t surprised as that was the first thing that crossed her mind when she saw that her father was the one calling. “Deep? Since when did you start caring about Jackson? Thought you were always looking for a way to bring him down? Or is there something you are not telling me” She asked.Being Don Lewis’ daughter, Samantha was already used to his kind of games and she knew what calls like this meant and how manipulative Don Lewis always sounded whenever he was on the phone—something she and her late brother, Jack were able to learn from him.“Oh, please,” Don said smoothly. “You think I wouldn’t know what’s going on when Project Atlas is practica
Chapter 299: The News from Andrew!
“How are you feeling now?” Hailey asked Samantha as she stood by the kitchen counter, pouring a glass of water with deliberate care. Her fingers trembled slightly as the stream hit the glass, rippling like her thoughts. She had really felt bad after Celestine accused them of forgetting about her and were only checking on Evans. And even if they wanted to deny it, she knew that part of what Celestine had said was true, and Jackson wasn’t even helping issues at all.He had been so preoccupied with so much lately that he doesn’t even seem to consider them his friends anymore, except when he finds himself in a difficult situation.With so much going on in her head, she carried the glass of water over to the couch where Samantha sat — her usually fierce, sharp-eyed demeanor dulled into something brittle, almost fragile.Just as Hailey placed the glass down on the table, a sharp knock broke through the silence. Both women startled.Hailey frowned, glancing toward the door. “Who could that
Chapter 298: Fractures and Healings!
“Sam, wait!” Hailey’s voice called behind Samantha quickening in step. “Please, stop!”But Samantha didn’t slow. Not until Hailey’s hand closed around her wrist, yanking her gently but firmly to a stop near the end of the corridor.Samantha turned, her eyes glistening, her lips trembling between rage and heartbreak. “Let me go, Hailey!” she snapped, pulling weakly against her grip. “You don’t understand! I came all the way here to check on him — to make sure he was okay — and the first thing I see is that woman kissing him like I never existed!” Her voice cracked, raw and wounded. “It hurts, Hailey. God, it hurts.”Hailey’s expression softened, her own heart twisting at the sight of her friend breaking apart. “Samantha… I know. But listen to me,” she said gently, her fingers still holding tight to Samantha’s hand. “You can’t jump to conclusions, not right now. You saw what you saw, but you don’t know how it happened.”Samantha blinked through her tears, shaking her head. “I saw enou
Chapter 297: Echoes of the Old War!
“I came because the world’s shifting again,” Vaughan said, lowering himself into the armchair across from Copper’s whiskey table like he owned the place. “And you, old friend, are standing right in the center of the storm. The boy — Jackson Hart. The Flameborn. The Empire. The CIA’s shadow wars. You’ve built yourself a fine mess.”Mr. Copper’s hand hovered over his glass, fingers trembling slightly before he set it down. “You don’t know what you’re talking about, Vaughan,” he said, voice low but steady. “And if you came here to gloat, you can leave the same way you came in.”Victor Vaughan chuckled — that deep, cynical sound that always made Copper’s skin crawl. “Oh, come now, Copper,” Vaughan said, crossing one leg over the other. “You and I both know why I’m here. It’s not about the boy. It’s about what lies beneath him — what you’ve both been protecting for far too long.”Copper’s jaw tightened. “You mean Primis.”The name dropped between them like a thunderclap. For a long second
