Nathan’s eyes fluttered open, heavy and reluctant.

The first thing that registered was the dull, rhythmic throbbing at the base of his skull. It felt like someone had driven a hot spike right behind his left ear. He groaned softly, his chin resting against his chest. His mouth tasted like old pennies and harsh chemicals. Chloroform. Or something close to it.

He tried to bring his hands up to rub his temples, but his arms didn't move.

The sharp, biting pinch of thick plastic dug directly into th

    The silence that returned to the isolation suite was no longer just tense —it was horrific. It was the kind of silence that exists right before a massive, devastating tidal wave hits a fragile shoreline.Captain Miller slowly lowered his hand. His fingers were shaking so violently that the heavy tactical phone slipped right out of his palm, crashing loudly onto the floor, the screen shattering into a million spiderweb cracks. The heavy silver handcuffs fell from his other hand, clattering against the floorboards with a dull, pathetic ring.His face had gone from a healthy, uniform blue to a deathly, chalky white. Sweat was pouring down his temples in thick, heavy streams, soaking through his stiff collar. He looked at Nathan, his eyes wide, completely unblinking, filled with the sheer, blinding terror of a man who had just looked directly into the eyes of God and realized he was entirely naked."Captain?"

  • Chapter 158: Skyfall

    The heavy silence that followed Nathan’s quiet command into the sleek black phone was thick, suffocating, and entirely tense. For a split second, the air in the isolation suite felt so heavy that even the rhythmic, digital beeping of the Governor’s heart monitor seemed to dull into the background.Then, the laughter broke out.It started with Arthur Grant. The cool, high-priced defense attorney let out a low, mocking chuckle, adjusting the sharp cuffs of his custom gray suit. He shook his head, looking at Nathan with a patronizing smirk that dripped with decades of professional arrogance."A Walters Empire? A Tier-One Tactical Security Regiment?" Grant laughed louder, turning to look at Martha Delano as if he had just witnessed a stand-up comedy routine. "Mrs. Delano, it seems your ungrateful daughter didn't just bring a common thief into your home— she brought a completely delusional lunatic. Kid, what movie did you pull that script from? Do you honestly think a cheap theater perform

    "Right away, Mrs. Delano," Captain Miller nodded smoothly, turning to his officers. "Grab the kid. And remove the girl from the premises. Use physical force if they resist.""I would highly advise you to take your hands off those weapons, Captain."Madam Victoria Auxford stepped fully into the room, her broad shoulders squared, her eyes burning with a freezing, corporate fury. She stood directly between the police officers and Nathan, using her immense stature as the hospital’s billionaire CEO like an unyielding brick wall."Madam CEO," Captain Miller said, his tone tightening slightly, though he maintained his arrogant posture. "Do not interfere with a local police operation. I have a warrant.""I don't give a damn about your local warrant, Miller," Victoria fired back, her voice ringing with a power that made the junior officers physically flinch."This facility operates under private corporate jurisdiction. Under city health codes, as the Chief Executive Officer, I have ultimate au

    The terrifying words echoed off the sterile walls of the isolation suite, leaving a cold, suffocating silence in their wake."Who are you guys? And who... who am I?"Nina felt as if the ground beneath her feet had completely opened up, swallowing her whole. The relief that had flooded her heart just moments ago turned into a jagged block of pure ice. She staggered backward, her hands flying to her mouth as fresh tears spilled over her pale cheeks."Dad..." Nina choked out, her voice cracking into a desperate sob. "Please don't do this. Look at me. It's Nina. Your daughter. You know who I am. You have to know who I am!"The Governor shrank further back against his pillows, his eyes wide with a combination of deep confusion and raw, animalistic fear. He gripped the white hospital sheets tightly, looking at her as if she were a total stranger trying to assault him. He shook his head slowly, his breathing turning shallow and rapid.Nina collapsed against the edge of the bed, her shoulders
