He was trained to kill, but now he’s got to protect the one person who could bring him down. Damien Cross is a former black-ops operative who has lived in the shadows ever since a mission went horribly wrong. He’s haunted by betrayal and loss, and now he works as a private security specialist. He is quiet, precise, and a bit cold. When billionaire Adrian Vale approaches him with a discreet job to protect a civilian woman named Sophia Reed, Damien doesn’t ask questions. That’s just not his style. But Sophia isn’t your average target. She’s the key to Eclipse, a rogue AI surveillance program that’s buried deep in Vale Industries… and someone powerful wants her dead. Now, with assassins on his tail, betrayed by his team, and cut off from every ally he ever had, Damien has to do something he’s trained to avoid: trust someone. With Sophia’s life and the truth hanging in the balance, Damien is plunged into a brutal fight against hidden enemies and the very system he once worked for. Every move he makes brings him closer to danger. And this time, failure isn’t just about losing his life. It’s about being silenced. Forever.

Shadow Contract: The Bodyguard’s War The city that remember wrong
The city shimmered, wavering like heat on water. At first, Ash almost believed she was back in her old world labs, glass towers, that familiar grid of civilization. But the closer she got, the stranger it all felt. Streets curled in on themselves. Reflections lagged, just a beat too slow. The skyline bent, slow and liquid, as if someone was drawing it from memory and getting the lines a little wrong. This wasn’t rebuilding anything. It was longing, trying to remember. Ash stepped through a curtain of light. Instantly, the air changed. It felt thick and soft, as if it could hear her. Even her breath echoed down hallways that weren’t there yet. The city kept rewriting itself, piece by piece. She wandered into an alley that curled like a question mark. The walls pulsed with faint light veins crawling across the bricks, forming half-faces, snatches of laughter, memories that didn’t belong to her. Ash stopped. Something whispered close to her ear. Welcome home. She spun ar

The sea didn’t move in straight lines anymore.Waves curled in on themselves, rolling and opening up with a strange intent, like they remembered other oceans and were trying to fit them all together. Ash stood at the edge, wind tangling her hair, staring at a horizon that wouldn’t stay still. One second, the water was just blue; the next, gold streaks flashed through it, like sunlight was scrawling something she almost understood.Behind her, the child wandered barefoot across the sand. Her steps didn’t leave footprints just quick bursts of light that faded as soon as they appeared.Ash still hadn’t found a name for her.She wasn’t Sophia. She wasn’t anyone Ash had known before.But she carried echoes of the others how they laughed, the way they breathed.The child knelt, pressed her finger into the sand, and drew a spiral. The mark glowed, lifted, and floated away, like dust in early sunlight. It broke apart, and suddenly warm air brushed Ash’s face.What was that? Ash asked.The chi

The silence felt heavy now.It wasn’t just quiet there was this thick, deliberate stillness, like the world was holding its breath, waiting for something it couldn’t quite recall.Ash sat at the edge of a dry riverbed, watching her own face shimmer in a puddle made from the morning mist. The sky overhead was just blank, all pale gray, not a cloud or shape in sight. It looked like someone had erased everything and left only the waiting.Her reflection watched her, too barely there, quivering. For a split second, she thought it blinked on its own.She whispered into the empty air, her voice so soft it almost vanished.“Sophia. Damien. Lena.”Nothing answered.Just a faint tremor under her fingertips as she traced the water’s surface like a heartbeat that used to be there, echoing from somewhere far off.The days if you could even call them days dragged by without a sun to count them. Ash figured out time was still real because her body kept reminding her: hunger, tiredness, the need to
Last Updated : 2025-10-30Shadow Contract: The Bodyguard’s War The memory that remembers us
The world had fallen silent again. Not a peaceful, gentle kind of silence, but the heavy hush that comes right after something explodes. The sort that settles in, thick with things left undone.Ash stood out on the plain, eyes fixed on the empty horizon. Grass brushed against her legs. The shimmer had faded, the pulse that always hummed here was gone. Still, under all that quiet, she could feel something struggling to restart. A rhythm trying to pick itself up. Like the gears of a machine remembering what they're supposed to do. Or a dream piecing itself back together after being torn apart.She spoke, soft, into the open air. “Sophia.”No answer.Not yet.Everyone else was gone. Damien had vanished into the recursion. Sophia wasn’t Sophia anymore she was part of it now. And Ash, the last one left with a real heartbeat and lungs full of air, stayed behind in this world stuck with too many memories.She wandered. Hours, maybe days it was impossible to tell. The sun just hung there, fro
