Chapter 360 - The Trace
The drive felt both long and short.Long, because the silence inside the car pressed on Adrian like a hand against his chest. Short, because the streets slid past in a blur of streetlights, and he barely noticed the turns.The man drove with one hand on the wheel, his eyes fixed on the road. He did not speak. He did not look at Adrian. But Adrian could feel him all the same, a steady, heavy presence beside him, the way you feel a storm before the first drop of rain.Something about him was wrong. Not frightening, exactly. Familiar, in a way Adrian could not explain. It was like hearing a song he had never heard and still knowing the next line.Why does he feel like this, Adrian thought, glancing at the man's profile. I have never met him before tonight.He shook the thought away. Divine was the only thing that mattered."Karl attends your daughter's school," Adrian said at last, breaking the silence. "I think we should start there.""We are going there now," the man said.That was all
Chapter 359 - Ghost
Adrian did not wait for Ezra's lawyer, or the police, or anyone else to organize a response. He listened to Daniela's warnings, nodded in all the right places, and then, once she had gone to check on Aria, he slipped quietly out through the side door of the mansion and took one of the cars.He did not know where the warehouse was. But he knew Divine's parents would have the one thing he lacked: a reason for the police to move fast, and someone with the resources to search properly. And he knew he could not sit in his room while she sat in the dark.The drive to Divine's home took fifteen minutes. The house stood in a quiet, wealthy street, its windows glowing with warm yellow light. Adrian parked at the curb, took a breath, and walked up the path. His ribs still ached. His forearm throbbed beneath the bandage. He ignored both.He rang the bell.Footsteps approached, quick and light. The door swung open, and a woman stood there in a pale silk robe, her hair loosely pinned, her face lin
Chapter 358 - Taken
Adrian sat frozen on the edge of his bed, the phone pressed against his ear, trying to make sense of what Divine had just said."Divine, slow down," he said carefully. "Say that again. Where are you?""I don't know," Divine whispered, her voice shaking. "Someone brought me somewhere. Please, Adrian, I'm not joking."Adrian struggled to believe it. Only that afternoon, Divine had been walking through the school courtyard, upset but safe. People did not simply vanish between one evening and the next, and some part of him wondered whether this was a misunderstanding, or a cruel prank dragged out of the endless drama at school."Is this some kind of game?" he asked quietly."No," Divine said, and he could hear her breath catching. "I'm sending you a picture. Look at it."The line stayed open. A few seconds later, his phone vibrated against his ear. Adrian pulled it away and opened the message.The picture was dark and slightly blurred, as though it had been taken in a hurry with shaking h
Chapter 357 - Reclaimed
As the last of the restraints loosened from around his family members' wrists, Adrian watched Vance carefully, understanding the dangerous man's calculated satisfaction masked something considerably darker beneath his composed exterior."You should understand," Vance said, his tone carrying casual, menacing confidence as he studied the pendant still held within Adrian's grip, "I didn't come here personally for simple business transactions. Sam Mitchell owed me a considerable debt, two million dollars he failed to repay after his pathetic failure. Someone needs to settle that obligation.""That has nothing to do with my family," Adrian said sharply."Doesn't it?" Vance said, his smile widening with cruel anticipation. "I think taking something valuable from this household, something beyond simple jewelry, would properly compensate for everything your family has cost me recently."His gaze drifted deliberately toward Aria, who remained standing near the room's edge, her expression carry
Chapter 344 - Chaos at the Mansion
Aria stood near the mansion's entrance, having heard the commotion from upstairs as Ezra frantically prepared to leave, her mother's instincts immediately sensing something had gone terribly wrong."What's happening?" Aria demanded, catching Ezra's arm as she rushed toward the door."Adrian's car was found crashed," Ezra said, her voice shaking with barely controlled panic. "He wasn't inside. The police don't know where he is."Aria's blood ran cold. "What do you mean he wasn't inside? Is he hurt? Is someone looking for him?""I don't know anything yet," Ezra admitted, tears threatening at the corners of her eyes. "I've been trying to call him, but he's not answering.""I'm coming with you," Aria said immediately."No," Ezra said firmly, though her voice carried genuine sympathy beneath the refusal. "Stay here. If he returns, if there's any news, you need to be available. I'll call you the moment I know anything."Aria watched helplessly as Ezra rushed out toward her car, the devastat
Chapter 343 - Survival
A massive figure emerged from the van parked along the roadside above the embankment, his bulk straining against his dark clothing as he made his way down toward Adrian's crashed vehicle with confident, unhurried steps."That impact should have killed him outright," the bulky man said to his companions, studying the mangled wreckage with satisfaction. "Nobody survives a crash like that uninjured enough to pose any resistance."His men fanned out around the destroyed vehicle, approaching cautiously despite their leader's confident assessment."Grab the pendant and let's go," the bulky man instructed. "The sooner we're away from here, the better."Back at the mansion, Ezra's phone rang with devastating news, a highway patrol officer informing her that a vehicle registered to her household had been discovered crashed along a secluded stretch of road."Is he alright?" Ezra demanded immediately, her voice carrying barely controlled panic. "Is Adrian safe?""We're still assessing the scene,
