Chapter 128. Amongst Friends
The moment the nurses finally gave permission, Melissa burst into Harry’s hospital room like she had been holding her breath for days. Rhianon followed closely behind her, slower but just as alert, her eyes scanning the space as if she expected something else to go wrong.Both women needed to hear directly from Harry, needed to see him awake, breathing, talking. Too much had happened too fast, and neither of them could shake the feeling that danger hadn’t fully passed yet.The second Melissa laid eyes on him, all restraint vanished.She rushed forward and threw herself onto him without thinking, her arms wrapping tightly around his upper body as though she could physically anchor him to the world by force alone. For a split second, she forgot he had been stabbed, forgotten IV lines, bandages, pain.All that mattered was that he was there.“H—hey…!” Harry tried to protest, his voice strained as pain shot through every muscle that moved. His ribs screamed in protest, his torso burning w
Chapter 127. Waking Up & Lying To The Police
Harry did not regain consciousness until three full days had passed. In that short span of time, the world had not stopped moving, things had shifted, conversations had been held, decisions had been made, and consequences had quietly stacked up around him.When he finally surfaced, pain greeted him before anything else.A brutal, relentless headache pulsed through his skull, as though his brain were being crushed from the inside, contracting and expanding with merciless force. It felt like something inside his head was trying to tear its way out. The pain in his torso was just as unforgiving, a deep, raw ache that flared every time he tried to breathe too deeply. Thinking clearly was nearly impossible. His thoughts came in fragments, scattered and uncooperative.The moment his eyes fluttered open, nurses rushed in.They surrounded his bed with practiced urgency, checking monitors, reading vitals, shining lights into his eyes. Their hands moved efficiently, professionally, confirming t
Chapter 126. Bad News For Frank
Frank was riding a high that felt disturbingly familiar. It had been a long time since he’d crossed that line, since he’d let himself indulge in something so dark and visceral, but the rush surged through him all the same. When the blade sank into flesh, the sensation sent shivers crawling up his spine, every hair on his body standing on end. It was sickening, and intoxicating.Part of him wished he had done it differently.Cleaner and faster.A single bullet through the head would have been perfect. Instant and final. But circumstances hadn’t allowed that luxury. Harry had been smarter than he expected. Resourceful. Desperate people often were. Harry had forced him to expend every last round, leaving the gun useless when it mattered most. No spare cartridge. No backup plan.Frank hadn’t even anticipated needing one.Still, the end result was what mattered. Or so he believed. Harry had fought, wriggled, refused to die quietly, but in Frank’s mind, that struggle had been pointless. A f
Chapter 125. François In Danger
Rhianon and Melissa barely left the hospital that day. Hours blurred together beneath the sterile lights, the constant hum of machines, the quiet footsteps of nurses moving with practiced urgency. Rhianon had noticed the police early on, uniforms standing stiff near the nurses’ station, low voices exchanging clipped sentences, but she kept it to herself. Melissa was already barely holding on. There was no need to add fuel to a fire that was still burning uncontrollably.Eventually, though, Melissa noticed them too. By then, the worst of her panic had dulled into exhaustion, her emotions numbed by shock rather than calm. Harry was still unconscious, still unmoving, and that fact alone rendered the police nearly useless. They could document, speculate, collect fragments of information, but without Harry awake, there were no answers.Still, the officers were certain of one thing. This wasn’t random.This wasn’t a mugging gone wrong or a spur-of-the-moment act of violence. The way it was
Chapter 124. Blocked Childhood Memories
Harry lay unconscious, but that didn’t mean his mind had shut down. If anything, it was still moving, drifting, wandering, replaying places it had buried long ago. The real question was: where exactly was it now?This wasn’t like the nightmares he’d been having lately. Those came with warning signs. Those he could claw his way out of. He usually woke up gasping, heart racing, aware it wasn’t real.This time was different.This time, he couldn’t wake himself up.And unlike his usual nightmares, he wasn’t aware that he was dreaming. There was no sense of distance between him and what he was experiencing. No internal voice telling him it wasn’t real.To Harry, this was reality.He was a child again, no older than seven, sitting alone at a rickety table in a cramped, decaying apartment. The furniture looked like it had survived too many years of neglect. Wood chipped. Cushions sagging. The place smelled faintly of mildew and something sour.It wasn’t fit for a child.Yet there he was.A b
Chapter 123. Barely Alive II
Mia made the call to shut down the portion of the building that fell under her responsibility. It wasn’t an easy decision, but she didn’t see another option. The club couldn’t completely grind to a halt, too many people relied on it, but that specific section had to be closed. She needed space, time, and quiet to think. More than anything, she didn’t want word spreading yet. Not until she understood what had happened. Not until she was forced to explain it. She replayed the previous night over and over in her head, mentally retracing every face, every movement, every interaction. Has anyone suspicious come into the club? Had there been an argument she’d missed? Had Harry crossed paths with someone dangerous without realizing it? How did Marcus manage to get Harry alone in the first place? Or maybe it wasn’t Marcus at all. Maybe it was someone else, someone Harry knew well enough to trust. If it had been a stranger, Harry would’ve raised an alarm immediately. He wasn’t careles
