The moment Justin’s voice barks through the room, ordering his thugs to find the source of the noise, my heart hammers against my ribs. I press myself deeper into the shadows, my breath shallow, my fingers gripping the edge of the wall. If they find me now, everything is over.

Then, like a ghost materializing from the dark, Eddy appears beside me. His hand clamps over my wrist, pulling me back just as heavy footsteps round the corner. We slip into the nearest room Mary’s. The door clicks shut behind us, sealing us in the suffocating silence of her past.

The scent of lavender still lingers, faint but unmistakable. Her perfume. It floats in the air like a ghost, soft yet overwhelming. The familiarity of it punches through my chest, stopping me cold. For a moment, I’m paralyzed, held captive by a memory I wasn’t ready to face. My eyes sweep over the room the neatly made bed, the faint indent on the pillow, the vanity with her hairbrush still lying there, strands of her hair tangled i

  • Chapter 108 : The Trap Flips

    I stare at the wall in silence, my breath steady but my blood far from calm. It’s been hours since Eddy and the team took Justin. The warehouse location was chosen carefully off the grid, forgotten by time. We were supposed to extract the truth from him, corner him with evidence, make him confess. But now... everything’s unraveling.Olivia storms into the room, her face tight with urgency.“They found him.”I look up, confused. “What do you mean?”“Justin’s men realized he was missing. They reported it to the police.” She paces. “And the warehouse wasn’t as off-the-grid as we thought. CCTV from surrounding buildings picked up the van. Police tracked it down. They’re already headed there.”I bolt up from the chair. “What about the disguises? The wiped footage?”She shakes her head. “I hacked the police system to slow them down and blur the faces. It worked for a while. But they used drone surveillance near the warehouse. They’ll breach it within minutes.”I grip the edge of the table.

  • Chapter 106: The Silent Witness

    My pulse drums in my ears as I lean against the passenger door of John Chen’s sleek black SUV. I’m parked but invisible hidden in shadow. Across me, Chen is pacing, talking into his phone with that practiced calm. I know exactly who he’s calling.I step forward. The gravel crunch under my shoes breaks his rhythm but not his composure. He lowers the phone and looks at me surprised but not alarmed. That’s arrogance, pure and sharp.He ends the call and masks his face with a cool smile. “Kelvin Flynn. What a surprise.”He doesn’t realize I already know everything: his real name Peter McGregor his criminal history. I step closer, heart racing.“Peter,” I say, soft and serious. “Or John. Whichever face you prefer tonight. Funny thing I know everything about you. About your past crimes. Your prison time. Your jail escape. Your fake identity.”He blinks, feigns confidence, but the edge is gone. “So what? You think that scares me?”“Not scares,” I counter, stepping into the faint garage light

  • Chapter 105: The Mask Falls

    The city lights blur past the car window as I sit in the backseat, deep in thought. The last few days have been a whirlwind of guilt, desperation, and a single terrifying realization Brianna almost ended her life. And I almost let her.But she’s safe now. And we’ve talked. Finally, really talked.She’s asleep in the penthouse guest room. Exhausted, but healing. I promised her I wouldn't leave her side, and I meant it.My phone buzzes. It's Olivia.“I found him,” she says without even greeting me. “John Chen isn’t who he says he is.”I sit up straight. “What do you mean?”“He’s not Chinese-American. His real name is Peter McGregor. Full American. No business background. But a long list of criminal records.”I go silent.“Kelvin,” she continues, “He’s been to jail twice. First for cybercrimes hacking, identity theft, credit card scams. Second time, it was sexual assault. He served a few years and disappeared after that. Changed his identity. Resurfaced as John Chen, a ‘global investor’

  • Chapter 104: The Edge of Despair

    Brianna’s POV rain pelts the penthouse windows, a relentless drumming that matches the storm in my chest.I stand at the edge of the balcony, my fingers gripping the railing, the city lights blurring through my tears.One step.That’s all it would take.One step, and the pain would end. The humiliation. The crushing weight of failure.My great-grandfather’s company gone. My legacy stolen.And the man I once loved refused to even look at me.I lift my footThe door crashes open behind me.“Brianna!”Kelvin’s voice is raw, desperate.I don’t turn. “Go away.”His hands grab my shoulders, yanking me back from the edge. I stumble against his chest, his heartbeat pounding against my back.“What the hell are you doing?” His voice shakes.I laugh, hollow. “What does it look like?”He spins me around, his grip bruising. “Look at me.”I do.His eyes are dark, furious alive.“You don’t get to quit,” he growls.The dam breaks.I shove him, my fists pounding against his chest. “You left me! You r

  • Chapter 103: The Puppet Master’s Gambit

    Brianna’s POVThe boardroom is too cold.I sit stiffly in my chair, my manicured nails digging into the armrests as John Chen strolls to the head of the table like a king claiming his throne.The vote was unanimous.My board. My company.And now?Now it’s his.Chen adjusts his cufflinks, his smile razor-thin. “Effective immediately, all major decisions will require my approval. Ms. Brianna will remain in an advisory role.”Advisory role. A polite way of saying powerless.I stand, my heels clicking against the marble floor. “This isn’t over.”Chen chuckles. “Oh, but it is.”The dismissal in his voice is worse than the betrayal.I walk out, my pride the only thing keeping me from crumbling.Kelvin's POV I'm still in my office, the early evening light bleeding through the blinds, casting lines across my desk like prison bars. My laptop pings a notification from a business journal I follow. I almost ignore it. I wish I had.Then I see the headline:“John Chen Appointed CEO of BGC Holding
