Chapter 304: I Hate you, Jackson!
The following morning, while Jackson was adjusting his tie before the mirror, his tablet lighting up with encrypted notifications from Sophia and Thomas Rouke, the elevator suddenly chimed behind him.“Jackson?” He heard Bella call out his name.He turned sharply, startled, his expression darkening the instant he saw her. He couldn’t remember agreeing to meet up with Bella that morning, causing him to wonder what could have been the reason for her visit that morning, even if it wasn’t new to him that Bella had developed the habit of visiting him anytime.“Why didn’t you call to notify me that you were coming?” he asked, his tone clipped, almost impatient.Bella blinked, taken aback by the coldness in his voice. “This isn’t the first time I’ve visited you unannounced,” she replied quietly, trying to keep her tone calm. “You’ve never had a problem with that before.”Jackson gave a dismissive shrug. “I know that, but I think that doesn’t stop you from calling when you intend to visit. A
Chapter 303: The Order of Thanatos!
The drive home was quieter than usual. The road lights flashed rhythmically against Andrew’s windshield, but his thoughts were far from the road as Hailey’s words kept replaying in his mind like a haunting echo.“They took her… she screamed my name as they dragged her out.”And that image, the badge with a skull, it stuck with him like a thorn. Something about it didn’t sit right. He couldn’t tell if it was déjà vu or an old memory tugging at the edges of his mind, but it made his chest tighten.By the time he reached his apartment complex, it was already past ten. He parked and was just about to step out when he noticed Bella standing at the doorway.She looked like she had been pacing, and from the faint look of relief on her face, she must have been about to leave just before he arrived.For a split second, he couldn’t help but wonder why she wasn’t with Jackson, as everyone seemed to be occupied with being with their respective lovers, and that made him miss the good old days when
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
