Chapter 115Everything was happening so fast and it almost looked like the students were not buying their usuals anymore. The school environment was back to the way it was. No smoking around the corridor and they were not passing contraband either. “ Do you think Nathan is dumb?” I heard a voice behind me and I turned. “ Do you think he is going to use the school to run his business when the news is going viral about what happened?" Marcus said, looking at me. “ If you are trying to get to him then you need to think outside the box. Think of what you are going to do if you are him.” Ren added. I looked at both of them and said nothing. But the truth was, they were right. Juno just received a message of their movements and I cannot but wonder where their base was. It was quite easy with Milrada but tracking Nathan had been tough. Tougher than I expected of course. “ When are you going to come back?” Ren asked, staring at me. “ Come back?” I flashed a set of angry eyes at him. “ Le

Chapter 114“You shouldn't do that again.” Juno’s words caught me immediately when I got in. I looked back with an angry face. “Are you barking orders into my face?” I asked with my eyebrows arched. “I need to know where you are and keep you safe at all times. You are at risk when you go out on your own.” Juno said again. “At risk? Have you forgotten what I can do? Do I need to remind you that I alone took down Milrada and her business?” I said with anger. “Let me ask you again, Juno. Are you here to give me orders?” The room was thick with tension as we both stared at ourselves. “Why don't you both loosen up?” Juliet's voice broke the tension between us both. “Do I need to remind you that we have a bigger problem than to fight among ourselves?” She said, "Set the table." The aroma of the food she cooked caught my throat as I looked past Juno. “Why are you still here?” I asked, staring at Juliet, who was busy arranging the tables. “Is that a way of saying thank you?” she said back

Chapter 113The silence in the car was thick as I drove Alisha to the safe house. Her presence beside me was comforting, familiar—like the only piece of home I hadn’t yet destroyed. But her words lingered in my mind like a song stuck on repeat.If I had left when your mother brought you here, who would take care of you?The truth was, I had never properly thanked her. Not for the meals she made when there was nothing left in the pantry. Not for the way she shielded me from the men who came asking questions about my father. And definitely not for loving me when I didn’t even know what love was supposed to feel like.“Do you ever regret it?” I asked, not taking my eyes off the road.“Regret what?” She replied, her voice calm, as always.“Taking me in. Raising a child whose bloodline was unknown from the start.”She chuckled. “You talk like you're a demon, Adrian. I raised a boy who had the strength to survive and the heart to still care. Cursed? No. You were a gift.”That word—gift—knoc

Chapter 112I don't know why it hurts. I had been gone for months now, but seeing Zee in the arms of the one person I hated the most made me more pissed and annoyed than I care to admit.“You need to let her go,” Juno said with an icy tone. Like she doesn't have feelings. “I don't know what you both must have shared, but we don't want anything that is going to hinder our plans. Or is she going to be a problem?” She paused and stared at me.“Why are you really here?” I asked, looking at Juno. “I came because I thought you might be needing my area of expertise,” Juno replied.“Do I need to be worried?”“You took down Miralda because you were focused. That is what focused men do. They do the impossible and move mountains. I don't want you to forget the real reason you are back home, Mr. Carter." Juno said again. “I don't want to get my hands soiled.”“Are you threatening me now?” I asked, my body hot, and I could feel the electric current bubbling underneath my skin.“Why don't we slow d

Chapter 111Was I blind?Or my eyes were playing tricks on me?The entire student hallway was quiet with each of the students looking at us and wondering what was going to happen. Everyone knew that Zee and I were a thing before I left. “ Zee,” I called out slowly as she disengaged from him. “ How could you?” The look on her face said it all. “ Were you expecting me to wait? You left when I needed you the most and now that you are back, were you expecting a happy ever after?” I still didn't get it. She was with the one person that I hated the most. I won't have been angry or mad at her but the only person Zee decided to be with was Nathan. “ And here you are finally crawling back after doing what exactly?” Nathan said looking at me like what I did didn't matter to him. “ Your mother sends her regards,” I said with a smirk. I could see the fire in her eyes. “ Did she tell you how she took a bullet in the head just the way you shot, Park?” Nathan charged towards me, disengaging fr

Chapter 110 The loud noise inside Northvale University was the same as always, but it was different this time. It wasn't the usual noise of the students preparing for their daily academics; it was a noise of what happened and the news circulating the city. “ Did you hear about the children's experiments?” “ I thought this was just about drug dealings and readings?” “ I heard someone pull down the stronghold.” “ Do you know who that is?” “ I heard it is someone named Adrian.” Marcus and Ren were passing by when they heard my name. “ When was the last time you talked to him?” Ren asked, “ You mean Adrian?” Marcus asked, staring at him. “ You know who I am talking about, so stop with the pretense.” “ The last time I spoke with Adrian was when he went in search of who his real parents were. I haven't been able to speak with him ever since then. I don't know, maybe he is dead or something.” Marcus said, looking at him. “ Do you think he has anything to do with what is going on?”
