Chapter 19. Wild.
He remembered the card that Kim had given him, the woman who had claimed he was the chairman of the KINAI GROUP. At first, he had dismissed her as a delusional fanatic, but after everything he had seen, her claims seemed more plausible than ever.He reached into his pocket and pulled out the card, his fingers tracing the embossed lettering. The Direwolf black card. Only given to those in the highest rank of the KINAI GROUP. The name resonated with a strange familiarity.A kind of familiarity he couldn't explain.He walked over to the desk and sat down. He hesitated for a moment, his heart pounding in his chest. Was he ready to take this leap of faith? Was he ready to embrace the possibility that he was someone else entirely?He stared at the window, but then his gaze shifted to the sleek, modern smartphone Veronica had given him earlier. It sat on the nightstand. If the Kinai Group was as significant as Kim claimed, the internet would have the answers.He stretched his hand an
Chapter 18. Trust.
Without another word, Saul turned and walked past Michaela. He didn't brush against her; he moved as if she weren't even there, a ghost passing through a world that no longer concerned him. He climbed the stairs. Clara instinctively pressed herself against the wall as he passed, her eyes wide with a primal sort of fear. He didn't even glance at her. He entered the master bedroom—the room he had shared with Daniella, where he had always felt like a guest in his own marriage. With methodical, chilling efficiency, he began to pack. He didn't take the designer suits Michaela had bought to make him look "presentable." When they had functions he couldn't avoid being out for.He didn't take anything that was bought for him.He went to the back of the closet and pulled out a battered leather duffel bag. Into it went his journals, the ones he had written those first few months after he awoke with no memory, a few worn paperbacks, and a small wooden box containing his new identity Daniella'
Chapter 17. Breaking Point.
"Ma'am," Saul said, his voice tight."Don't you 'Ma’am' me, you pathetic little leech," Michaela hissed, stepping into the hall. Her heels clicked like gunfire on the marble. "Do you have any idea what you did? The humiliation? The phone calls I’ve had to take? 'Oh Michaela, I saw your future son-in-law being dragged out of the Haruno estate like a common thief.' 'Micheala, did you hear Saul was seen leaving a billionaire's auction?'"She sneered bitterly, “As if the embarrassment at the bank wasn't enough, now you had to go ahead and do this!" "I didn't ask for any of that to happen," Saul said, trying to keep his voice steady. "I’m just here for my things. I’ll be gone in ten minutes.""Your things?" A second voice joined the fray. Daniella’s sister, Clara, stepped out from the shadows of the upper landing, looking down at him with a sneer that mirrored her mother’s. "You don't have 'things' here, Saul," Clara laughed, a harsh, jagged sound. "Everything in this house was bought w
Chapter 16. Home.
Veronica's face immediately twisted in a frown."Like hell you are," she said, her voice dropping into a tone that didn't invite argument. "Look at you, Saul. You’re pale, you’re shaking, and you spent the last four hours with a fever. You’re in no condition to walk, let alone navigate the city."Saul looked up, his eyes bloodshot but steady. "I’m going home, Veronica."Veronica’s eyes flashed. She was a woman used to boardrooms falling silent when she entered, a woman who moved markets with a phone call. To be defied by a man who looked like he’d been dragged through a gutter was a novelty she didn't appreciate."Don't be a fool," she snapped, her voice dropping into a dangerous register. "You’ve had a 'weird day'? That’s the understatement of the century. You were nearly killed in an alley, you met a man who shouldn't exist, and you just watched two pieces of metal melt into one. You need to stay here. You need to rest. You need to let me handle this.""Handle what?" Saul asked, hi
Chapter 15. Merged.
Veronica’s expression soured. She let out a sharp, weary breath and ran a hand through her loose hair. "We got it. But God, Saul, the whole thing was a total shit show. I’ve dealt with some lunatics in the banking world, but Haruno? That man is on a different level of twisted."She stood up, her movements stiff as if she hadn't slept well either. "Wait here."She walked out of the room, her footsteps silent on the thick carpet. A moment later, she returned carrying the small, velvet-lined case the guard had handed her. She held it at arm's length, her nose wrinkled in distaste."Here," she said, placing it gingerly on his lap. "I didn't put it with my jewelry or anything else in the room. To be honest, the thing gives me the creeps. It felt like it was watching me from the nightstand."Saul didn't laugh. He reached out, his fingers trembling as they brushed the lid. This was it. This tiny, silent object was the reason he had almost lost his mind—the reason Magnus Haruno had looked
Chapter 14. Soft.
Saul was walking.Rain fell in thin silver threads from a sky that had no moon and no stars, the kind of rain that soaked into your bones before you even realized you were wet. The alley stretched endlessly before him, slick with water and shadow, the brick walls on either side towering too high and leaning too close like silent witnesses waiting for something terrible to happen.He didn’t know why he was there.He only knew he had to keep walking.His shoes splashed through shallow puddles, each step echoing louder than it should have, the sound bouncing unnaturally off the walls. Somewhere in the darkness ahead a figure stood beneath a flickering streetlamp, tall and unmoving, its outline distorted by the curtain of rain.Saul slowed.His breath caught.The hooded figure.The same one.The one he had seen before.The man beneath the hood slowly raised his head.Saul could not see his face clearly at first, only the pale glint of eyes through the darkness.Blue eyes.Bright and searc
